    Solid album, definitely not as good as prhyme, but I enjoyed it a lot.

    I'm pretty sure you guys were talking about how album sales were irrelevant when I first joined this forum

    "eminem could s--- on the mic and he'd still sell"
    hmmm, well Eminem spat a verse on this album and it didn't sell so well huh?

    LMFAO Royce so f---ing useless and unsuccessful an Eminem feature on his album couldn't even push it into the 6 digit mark.

    Depends. Sales are irrelevant in determining who's a better artist out of X and Y.

    But in the case of saying "success is Certain" then instead of certainly succeeding, you just flop miserably, then it's pretty f---ing funny.

    I remember this one, very bland and unremarkable just like most of the Slaughterhouse collective ever since they became a group. Royce's Death Is Certain was pretty good and those Bar Exam tapes were pretty decent if you were just looking for bars and more bars, but rarely do I ever get captivated by freestyles unless it was by someone like Lil Wayne, Cam or 50.

    Although I'm a fan of Royce to an extent (don't listen to him very often anymore) I stopped f---ing with this album. I can barely remember anything about it. The irony of the name is pretty funny tbh.

    Death Is Certain is still a decent album though.

    Classic? I think not. Had My Own Planet on it that was 2 or 3 years old in it's time FFS. It had some decent tracks but Bar Exam 3 was probably better (although goofier) tbh.

    Mediocre album but Second Place was part of the birth of PRhyme

    Might as well complain about 'Death Is Certain' too as it came out over 10 years ago and Royce is still alive.

    SIC is certainly a B project from Royce, which is a shame considering its legacy. I think I enjoy it more than most. It's poorly mastered though.
