Royce Da 5’9″ talks about Eminem

In Atlanta, you turn on the radio and they play a throwback record. It could be any record, but, it’ll be a TLC record. It’ll be an Usher record. Any opportunity that they get they’re going to play that Atlanta record. Do you think Detroit Hip-Hop artists will get the love and respect on their hometown radio?

Royce Da 5’9″: At the rate that it’s going. Big Sean was a huge step for us. Big Sean is (not was) a huge step in the right direction for us. I love the way that he supported. I’m not so sure if I’m riding through neighborhoods and I’m feeling the type of support for him that I want to feel. He came out the gate having that though. But you know, the brotherhood, the barbershops. The streets. I know he really don’t make music for the streets. Neither do I, but it just seems like coming from Detroit we should support our own. Then again I’m preaching to people that don’t make records. They don’t make records so what do they care if we got spins. It’s a melting pot. So I mean, the next three years because we have a Big Sean who’s actively trying to put people on. You got Marshall. You got me. You still got the n***as from D12. You got Mr. Porter, he’s very active with working with all kinds of artists. You got Slum Village. You got Black Milk somewhere, probably in Texas somewhere doing some Grammy shit. It’s like a whole lot going on. I predict the next three years to be better than the last three years. Across the board. I talk to people from radio. The newer people that come in. The new PD’s and everybody. The new fresh staff. They all seem to get it. I don’t know if they’re running game. Telling me what I want to hear. I don’t really care. You don’t have to tell me nothing. Show me with your actions. It seems like they get it and we can move forward as a city or continue to be a secondary market. It’s really up to the people that matter.

You have a very close relationship with Eminem. We haven’t heard from him musically in a while. How is he doing?

Great. Great, never been better. Never better. Know that he’s not quiet for nothing. If he’s quiet…worry. Marshall is like that f***ing huge spider on the floor and you wanna act like you not scared of it. And you’re really not that scared of it as long as it’s in your plain view but if you look away and it disappears oh you petrified, that’s Marshall. That’s Marshall and the petrified people are the rappers because you know he’s not going to come back with nothing but something that’s going to make you second guess what you’re doing.

im just playing devils advocate here but he said something similar about WTOH before it was released.

Good read, although I was hoping 4 somewhere along the lines that he talks about his 8th album.

Eminem isn't a spider...we haven't heard of anything about his album on the WEB in a long time XD XD XD

True , what was I thinking.

That's too long lol

But it's realistic if his album is coming end of May/early June (IF).

Then again Not Afraid came out in April and album in June...

So hopefully we'll have something before May.

Royce is like that guy that people think knows everything about Em, but in reality he just knows small things :shifty:
