We all know that Twitter remarks aren’t really “news” or even “truth” for that matter, but if this were to be true you have to take a few things into consideration:
If he signed only Royce, would we get another “Bad Meets Evil” or another Rock City (Version 2.0)?
If he signed Slaughterhouse, could the Interscope overlords turn them into a commercially viable act and not another D12?
Outside of Fiddy, name me one act/group under Shady that’s been able to sustain relevance. I’ll wait…
Remember Stat Quo, Cashis and Bobby Creekwater? Exactly.
All in all, while it would be a good look for Nickel Nine, I’m not fully convinced that this would truly be a good thing. On the other hand, on the heels of the massive fail somewhat disappointing sales of the Slaughterhouse album, there isn’t any much lower one could go this would definitely be an upgrade.
The track under the cut though was ridiculous, though, and I’d like to see more of that if this were true.
thats the homie Dj Butter that tweeted that! he is a very relaible source, he dont bullshit! he is a detroit pioneer!
ive been on the phone all morning trying to confirm this.. no one in the local scene that is friends with royce or shady have confirmed this..
but i hope so! Detroit needs this! the whole Hip hop Game Needs This!
RoYcE tHE 5’9″ WAS A eMINEM THROW AWAY…tHEY HE WAS SOUR ABOUT IT AND WENT AT D12….MEANWHILE D12 HERBED HIM. sO WHAT DID LITTLE BOY ROYCE DO,,….HE RAN TO JOE BUDDENS FOR BACK UP ….HAHAHAHAHA
ROYCE HAS NO FLOW…..HAS GHOSTWRITERS WRITIN FOR HIM AND IS GABAGE RAPPER. NO PROPS….EMINEM AINT THAT STOOPID TO SIGN THIS CORNBALL.
Yo this here the chairman of the Hood dquad located in Detroit.
Royce knows detroit aint feelin him no more after he bounced…
Besides…he dissed one of the most power full men of detroiteven though he died…..Bugz (rip son)….
we got no love for royce. stay out of detroit…..
Hey d12 went plat(2x).and both albums went #1!! if Slaughterhouse did that i would be much impressed…but we all lyrics dont sell albums rite!!
Kinda cool if this is true. Eminem and company need to push Royce and/or Slaughterhouse to the fullest for this to work.
*kno
Why did you cross off massive fail? and there isnt much lower one can go?
those statements are 100% accurate. with all the hype for that album…they failed trmedously in record sales. they could have capitalized off of the east coast, westcoast and midwest…..but they didnt….i guess royce decided it was back to the drawing board…..but how many more failures can his career take?
Sorry boys, I think Royce is done.
I will sit back and see what happens. In my beach chair.
YO SON LISTEN TO ME…..SLAUGTER HOUSE = FAILURE
ROYCE CAREER AFTER EMINEM’S HYPE MAN = FAILURE
HIS BEEF WITH D12=FAILURE
HIS COMMENTS TOWARDS BUGZ = FAILURE
HANGING OUT WITH JOE BUDDENS= FAILURE
HOW MUCH MORE CAN THIS BUM TAKE?
What was this Royce Track off of? I remember back in the day, but can’t seem to get a hold of it again.
actually adding those lines about massive fail and whatever makes me look at you like a bitch. the album was not a failure… it didn’t sell great but that is besides the point. if i follow your queer logic then Gucci Mane is truly and rightfully the #5 MC in the game since he gets heavy rotation and features…fucking hypocrites.
This would be both exciting and something to look forward to but if there’s a possibility of Eminem on the same accent/wack lyrics tip, plus his production was never anything special, the end product would be something massively underwhelming. I hope Royce, Em and Elzhi make some sort of record in the future because I believe that Elzhi would be a good influence on the type of music being made. He’s never been on wack shit, where as Eminem has been making some pretty fucked up/downright lame records in recent times.
@zookeeper
if you actually took the time and read mek’s thoughts (correctly) you’d realize he was just saying the album didn’t sell well and moving to shady might improve those sales. he didn’t say the album was a failure in terms of shitty music.
Shake, when did such retards start flooding this otherwise good blog?
SoSA have we been listening to the same Royce da 5’9? Dude is a beast and the best part about him is his flow.
flow>storytelling/lyricism but not by much
you need to check out this thing called youtube and listen to some of his tracks again… smh
@razz
i believe its just one idiot.
i havent had time to check the IP but ill do so today.
RoYcE tHE 59 IS A GIMMICK…THAT WHAT HIS WHOE CAREER IS BASED ON…..GIMMICK!!!!
HE IS GARBAGE….GET THIS WAK KAT OUTTA HERE…..HIS LAST STEP WAS COSIGNING AND RAPPING WITH BERNARD BUDDEN
lmao @ detroit hood squad chairman
im in the local scene, ive never heard of you, u sound like a typical wack rapper from detroit that likes to hate!
Obie trice was not a failure.
@calhiphophead
this wasn’t really a royce track.
it was a reference track for dre. supposed to be on chronic 2001 supposedly. you can tell it’s a dre reference track because royce speaks as if he is dre (just remember me, dr. dre your highness, sing)
In about an hour there will be a video to clear up all the rumors about shady and slaughter house/royce da 5’9″. Mr. Peter Parker had them in the studio on sunday and that was talked about. Stay tuned!
@ Joey
cosign
Ladies please use contraception

You fuckers shoulda never been born, shoulda never got signed, how the fuck you got on?
This doesn’t happen often, but mek worded it just right… Even if the album is hot, if it DOES NOT sell, it failed…
The album may have not sold but who’s to say it wasn’t downloaded illegally? Im sure its relevant to fans.
if slaughter has shady pushing their records they can be alot more successful.
i just hope royce knows what hes doing cuz shady records aint known for pushing artists.
a eminem throwaway….really…
royce was the only nigga who could hang with em on a track…
besides bad meets evil and the original renegade…have you guys ever hear”nothin to do”if so give that shit a spin…
i like royce back in the early em stages than i do now…
and he’s ill as hell now…but back then he was raw…
Wow, when did people start hating on Royce?!
If this is true, this can possibly be a good look. We shall see, but he’s one of my favorites so Im supporting him either way!
wht numbers did slaughterhouse actually do?
back to this news i think it’s a terrible idea. EMINEM 50 CENT AND DR DRE ARE THE ONLY 1S THEY CARE ABOUT.. royce has just shelved himself for the next few years
With all due respect to DJ Butter (“ya’ll”), who for all I know may have heard it from Royce himself, I’m going to wait for a source of information more trustworthy than what someone “just heard” before I think about getting hyped.
and to be honest about the shady records label…
if you guys haven’t noticed interscope is also controlling g-unit and aftermath’s artist’s as well…thats why rakim didn’t come out as well as a new lloyd banks album as well as eve’s album and stat quo’s album…50,dre and em has the artist…but it’s not they’re fault like alot of people think…the machine(interscope)is trying to make they’re main stars…once again em,50 and dre put their shits out 1st and then they guys under em and them come out later and those guys don’t wanna wait which is why i understand them leaving they’re labels…plus interscope is worried about they’re mainstream and pop acts like lady gaga and others…think about it..thats why stat,creek and trice ain’t mad at em…he’s not in control like people think…
when you’re hot you’ve got a lot of leverage and influence but when you’re not as popular you’re just a cog in a machine. we all got roles to play. right now shady and 50 need to secure their flame back if they ever want to see their artists shine again – at least, on a mainstream level
but i really give a fuck about all this shit.
i just want dope music
just playing devils advocate here but isnt it possible butters couldve heard that all of slaughterhouse signed to SH (like what has been reported for a few weeks now) but chose to single out royce on this shout outbecause hes from the D? just throwing that out there
I’m cautiously optimistic. Even if its only to hear Royce on some Dre production again.
everything meka said i’ve been sayin since rumors of em signing slaughterhouse started. if it is true, i just hope things go well and not ass backwards
Holy shit. Too epic.
i really had no idea this many people hated on royce…i also have absolutly no idea whyy any person would hate on royce
“plus his production was never anything special, the end product would be something massively underwhelming.”
Though for the most part his production can be underwhelming, shit like “Renegade” “Go 2 Sleep” “Moment of Clarity” The Cross” & “Patiently Waiting” give me hope.
Wow… You naive sons of bitches are here badmouthing royce? Royce is a veteran. Regardless of what you are gonna say, admit he has talent. Sure, the guy hasn’t sold mass amounts of records. But does that make him whack? Cause if so then I believe soulja boi is a legendary rapper in that sense. MONEY DOES NOT MAKE A MAN NOR DOES IT MAKE A RAPPER. Royce Da 5’9″ is arguably the best rapper alive and you dumbasses don’t know what you are talking about… clearly.
Cashis is still on Shady u sayin it like he left but this could b good for Royce but then again things dont seem to go well at Shady after Fif made a big smash in the game
yo im comin from the finest slums of detroit and best believe royce still gets mad play round here… niggas would clap for royce at the drop of a hat and d12 is the embarassment of any other true detroit hip hoppers… fuck y’all hood squad niggas!
Good to see the Unity Back! Props DJ Butter
Kill The DJ was a classic
“Remember Stat Quo, Cashis and Bobby Creekwater? Exactly.” Maybe that says more about these rappers than the label…
the album failed in sales because it was LEAKED and did not offer any special bonuses or “super cool creative artwork”..which they SHOULD HAVE Done..Joe should have added a bonus disc of never before seen VLOGS to the physical copy of the SH album..i bet folks would have gotten on that..or maybe add a spread of Tahiry..LOL.
Word on Obie being dope.
2 many dudes are hatin on Royce…. Sluaghterhouse was no fail, his beef with D12 was no fail..(i like both D12 and Royce, but royce shitted on them)
And he ain’t got ghostwriters.. the fuck ya’ll talkin about?!
