    I might also add Royce's Layers album that dropped last year debut at #1 on hip hop billboard charts. These last couple years have been his best mainstream years and I expect it to only get better when he drops PRhyme 2 and Book of Ryan.

    Why wouldn't you care? You think because they're friends em's creditability about Royce is biased? That's kinda messed up to say about a guy you're praising as number 1.

    Praising as the best detroit rapper, what does that really mean? Also I've heard Em say countless times he's the goat and I don't think ive ever heard him mention Royce in his top 5 so idk where you getting that he thinks he's just as good from but for the argument speaking if em did/does think royce is just as good as em I don't agree. Musically I think he's better tho putting out great albums

    You said you didn't care about em's opinion of Royce, and I was just curious as to why his opinion of Royce isn't creditable just because they're friends.

    Do you think Royce or Em had the better performance on h--- the Sequel EP?

    Em tweeted just earlier this year about Royce's freestyle being devastating.

    How does that mean Em puts him on the same level though I still don't understand and HTS garbage I haven't listened to that since I was like 13 but from the songs they did together on that southpaw soundtrack Royce killed it but Em blew that s--- out the water, back when the flow wasnt tired

    I'm not gonna go through archives of interviews about Royce and em's relationship with you lol, I know Em has a lot of respect for Royce and he has no problem going back and forth musically with him. Whether you don't see him on the same level as him, I'm not gonna try to convince you of that.

    To keep it 100, Black Milk was my favorite Detroit rapper for a while when Royce was sobering up.
