    • @yankeesrule09
      @yankeesrule09 Před 8 lety +2

      +Lunar Orbit you realize your comparing his last album to one of the best hip hop albums of all time right? Mmlp2 had a lot of his best work since the original imo, it showed maturity and His never ending immaturity with the new slim shady esq tracks.. It's not even close pop imo, the only pop track was The Monster and maybe the hook of survival.. Just the hooks in general and beats are his recent downfall, if you had premier on production that shit would be crazy

  • @Himaryous
    @Himaryous Před 8 lety +15

    SO to Royce for talking about what an alcoholic might do. My dad on weekends, would start drinking in the morning and was buzzed all day from about 2 pm on. SO to Royce for getting sober, my dad wasn't as lucky and he died of liver failure. Everyone, please take care of yourselves, your family and friends love you and need you in this world. I know many addicts are good people, my dad was a very fine man, but that didn't prevent an addiction from happening.

    • @Himaryous
      @Himaryous Před 8 lety

      AgonyShorts Thank you so much. I don't know. What I do know is not everyone has the same tolerance. Fatty livers seem to run in my family and if you have a fatty liver you are more likely to get cirrhosis of the liver if you drink. Also the more you drink the greater the risk of become an addict, and if you become an addict, you build up a tolerance to the high and need more and more alcohol. That's all I know in regard to the risk factors.

    • @Himaryous
      @Himaryous Před 8 lety

      AgonyShorts PS I don't know if he only drank of weekends, but that's when my family noticed it the most because he was home and not working.

      He's not underrated, just not recognised in the mainstream. Hip hop heads know he's a dope lyricist but the mainstream have only heard him through bad meets evil and not alike, so don't know him by name.

    • @bend4852

    I'm wired the same way that Royce was saying his dad told him he was. I definitely have an addictive personality because I've been addicted to cocaine and OxyContin. I got off everything and now that I have health problems that I need to take painkillers for I had to learn moderation or I wouldn't have enough medication to last my whole prescription length. It's nice not to have pain and to be able to have my medicine from the time I get it until the day before my next prescription.
