#CrookedI #KxngCrooked #CrooksCorner #ROYCEDA59 - Hudba
*Finally Royce can do an interview about Royce. Its always "Eminem this" and "Eminem that" but now we got an ill emcee interviewing an ill emcee. This the best move HiphopDX has made in YEARS.*
Ikr. If Em wasn't such a recluse everyone in his orbit wouldn't get hounded. I have always respected their patience though.
@@JustMe-mo6xk if the fans and the media weren't so fucking insane the dude wouldn't have to be a recluse.
Jeff Trinkle so true, there’s also parts of this interview that r about em tho, I guarantee em has been talked about in interviews more than he’s been in interviews
If Em N Royce never met, this interview don't exist sadly. Royce most likely will be a Dope Ghost Writer at his Height. He can make good music that's Lyrically Superior to 95%. But he lacks that "IT FACTOR". Very few have it. Work Ethic can only TAKE u to someone with the IT and that's as far as u go. Plenty can Out Rap Tupac, Wayne, Jay-Z Etc. But give them the same word for word Albums n see the difference in success
@@slimmyhendrix4067 thats true...everybody know he's a good lyricist, but 20 years in the game, massive push by em and shady record don't help his career. Royce is the most boring rapper i know, he can put the greatest album of all time out, nobody will listen to him. Its sad watching Dax is doing better than him.
Crooked I's segment is the best thing that happen to this channel.
Agreed, it is
Yup
Agreed. This shit is gonna get more views once more content like this keeps coming and HipHopDX will get much more subs just watch. 1 million before 2020.
I agree I want more of these!
Word
PROPS to Crook for breaking down the greatness of Book of Ryan and Royce's abilities as an MC. Givin them their flowers for real
Book of Ryan is one of my fave albums of last year!
@@TheRealJFranco Same bro, Crooked also been KILLING classic beats if you haven't heard
@@chrispoggi1726 yeah I listen to each one. I love the little flip he does on some of the beats too.
13:33 Eminem vs MGK
25:00 Eminem vs JayZ
Kenny Grinols hero we don’t deserve
I'm more interested in Royce not Eminem lol
Thank you 🙏
I an here for Royce, and not Eminem, or Nas or fucking Jay Z. Let it be a Royce thing. Not saying that I hate them, I am just asking you to let him say his piece about other things too. He's a great artist too, and I respect it. Yeah, he is not better than them, but he is just as good as them man!
Do they talk joe budden
In my opinion Book of Ryan is one of the best albums ever. So much heart, soul, and feeling.
i totally agree with you. Royce is very underatted
Definitely not one of the best ever, DEFINITELY NOT TOP 100 OAT, but Def top 5 of 2018.
Aryan Dewan then you just barely know any hip hop music.
Rsinist bro bro music is subjective no need to act all superior especially when he’s talking about a album like that, and I can also you obviously don’t know hip hop if you think there’s a 100 albums better then that
Cocaine is an amazing track. I would have to agree with Crook on this one coz Royce created a masterpiece right there
Cocaine is good but Power is slept on
brandon ayong best song on album
@@godlybrotherm3059 and one of the best songs last year
I wish my dad and mom would stop being alcoholics for me.
@JAYPHILOYCYHER BRO OMG YES THAT SHIT TOUCHED MY SOUL BECAUSE I GREW UP AROUND SHIT HE WAS SAYING AND IT JUST FUCKED ME UP I FEEL HE SHOULD GET AN AWARD FOR THAT SHIT BUT I KNOW ALOT OF PEOPLE HATE ITS A DAMN SHAME SMDH
shout out to sober royce keep fighting the fight kid !!!
He’s 42......
@@FrostBite69 😂😂😂
I think he's pretty much won that fight at this point. He looks so goddamn healthy. Of course, there could be temptations etc from time to time; but I really think Royce has that demon well behind him.
@@FrostBite69 bruh😂😂😂😂
Bad Meets Evil 2!
*3
@Drew Biggah WRONG!!!
@Drew Biggah hahaha, good joke 😂
@@alinac5512 Em the 🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐, he put Royce in the game and make him relevant!
Eminem did not "make Royce relevant". To you, maybe. But you clearly don't know Royce's history all that well.
Crooked is a better Hip hop interviewer, than anyone in the game really, lol.
Why? Cuz he actually in the game. There's no replacement for credibility
And one of the best Lyricist,artist out there
He's very credible and won't have garbage rappers on this channel. Salute to Crooked
Sway is dope, too. Better than Big Boi
LL cool J is really good too interviewing
we still want GLASS HOUSE ....WE STILL NEED THAT ..FOR THE CULTURE
This is facts. Not fiction
If Slaughterhouse ain't coming out DROP IT FOR THE CULTURE
they could drop the album for free then go on a world tour and get PAID..might be the only way
It's been confirmed glass house isn't happening coz of em and joe
We the fans need to bug Eminem to release it!
There should be a Royce n Crook album
Yoooo i like tht idea. They need to make tht happen
I have a feeling it would be a lot different from what they do though. From this interview, it sounds like it would be a lot of experimentation.
Gor real bro
Sure
Definitely.
Book of Ryan is criminally underrated bruh.. definitely top 5 hip hop album of last year
Id say number 2, just under
lupe fiasco - drogas wave
Last year was terrific. Book of Ryan was beautiful. Lupe’s prinect was crazy. Pusha T’s Daytona. Hella top 5 album arguments! Great year
@@ayrmendina8314 jay rock - redemption
King iso - DeMenTia.
Looking back on 2018, ot wasnt as bad as people said it was.
I love the terminology Crook uses.”when people aren’t qualified to break down the bars”
Royce be dropping knowledge. Dudes a beast
💯
Book of ryan is so underrated
Very underrated! It was like a movie through the music
Top three greatest albums of this decade....
@@godzshadow9001 definitely 💯
Pure fire I think Cocaine is one of my most favourite songs of recent years
"Life's not Fair" one of my favourite tracks ever
I could listen to Crook & Nickel talk hip hop all day.
2 true MC's
Farva's #1 that’s a fact
i wish they would nerd out about shit more like looking back on their fav albums, fav verses and stuff like that. stuff that is timeless and I like their views on whats happening now but it would be nice to hear what made them talk about their history in getting into hip hop itself
Billy Condon Check out his new interview with Eminem 👀
I listened to the intro for book of Ryan everyday for almost a year. I want Royce to know he inspired me to not just get sober but stay sober. U proved that a clear mind is always better and made me not want to ever be in my prime but to wake up everyday trying to improve.
I’m just over 5 months. I feel you. These kings made being sober not just acceptable but cool as hell too. Much respect.
I fell of the wagon so many times I said fk it
@@tonysburgers7223 I understand the feeling brotha. I spent 10 years relapsing non stop. I thought I was destined to be in that "fuck it" state of mind. That is pure nihilism my man. The definition of "being" is "to be", a "human being" is a human choosing to be. Life is worth living and living life a slave to the bottle is far from choosing life. It is literally avoiding life and experiences and a slow death. There is a cost to living a life of hedonism. I am so full of gratitude that I can say I hit 3 years sober in early July 2023. I am grateful every single day I wake up and am able to truly experience life in all its fullness even in situations I would find undesirable in my addiction I can find beauty in today. My cognitive function is better than I would have ever gave myself credit for which I only came to realize after I got sober. I have so much more energy and time and I'm a much more efficient and productive human. The positives are endless. It's truly a delusion we come to believe that life somehow won't be fun or u will be missing out on something if u go sober but the reality and the truth is that you are already doing that. Live everyday like there might possibly be a tomorrow. When u engage in recovery your engaging in the recovery of your true self. Upward and onward the only things worth pursuing in life are the good, the true, and the beautiful.
Royce is so down to earth and humble
Royce one of the GOAT's glad to see him getting some respect in an interview
Amazing interview thanks crook and Royce. Amazing conversation
I'm sorry Royce, but the Book of Ryan is a CLASSIC! 👇🏾 🎤
1000000000% agree
I love Dat album but I still like Layers of tho
Both you aint wrong, Royce been the nicest for a while and no one talks about him
@Alfonso G still on repeat🔥🔥🔥🔥also Prhyme 2🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
death is certain is his best album
2 of my Favs Hands Down.. Crook is the perfect one for this. Salute to both of these Lyrical Assassins.
Crook is so proud of Slaughterhouse
He should be. I love slaughterhouse!
As he should be .
That 47 mins flew in. 2 intellectual dudes speaking their mind
Crooked I is the best thing that happend to HipHop
Thanks HipHopDX for this probably the best segment on this channel 🤘🤘👍
Crook ask Eminem to come to the Corner💯
I saw the live of this and crook was in the comments. People were asking for Em there too and crook answered himself saying they will have Marshall on.
@@rickyries u never spoke with Eminem u never chilled with him. So just shut up.
@@buffknight2000 I think he might actually BE Joe Budden 😂😂
then ask him when he will have time to work with Royce
Which one
Thank you Crook! Thank you Royce! Great Interview I really appreciate this. 🙏🏻
Can we get Crooked, Black Thought and Masta Ace on Bad Meets Evil 2???
MASTA ACE yes
Bourkupine need a track with Benny, Conway and Westside Gunn too🔥
Don't forget yelawolf and boogie
@@lakersrdbest yeah a yelawolf song would be dope
@@lakersrdbest i wanna see them hop on BME2
Man these two have been huge to me. I met Royce in Houston during the super bowl and he was absolutely phenomenal. He performed at a little thing called the sober bowl where they had artists and former players from the NFL and NBA coming in to talk about alcoholism and he was supposed to have a 30 minute set but after the acts before him everyone left and there was probably 20 of us and they shortened his set to 15 minutes. Dude was super humble and killed it for us few people who saw him. And then crook retweeted my project a few months back and that was incredible. Much love for these two underground gods!!
Watched the entire episode! Great stuff. Thanks for getting together to talk. Love both you guys
This was monumental. I've always viewed Royce as an artist much more than a mere rapper. From the Rock City and Build & Destroy days this dude has saved my creative life in so many ways and still is. His maturity along with his humanity as a man shows tenfold. Immense thank you, Kxng Crooked, HipHopDX and Royce Da 5'9.
I really love this segment. Crook is knowledgeable and rational. He doesn’t yell or put other MC’s down. Keep these coming!
Royce has such a fascinating career. He's gotten better with age where as most get worse.
Royce has turned into a God level emcee, in my opinion and he crept up into my top 5-10 of all time.
Book of Ryan was heavily slept on last year even hip hop dx didn't have it in its top 10. Book of Ryan and drogas wave was my top 2 last year
I agree! Royce is definitely in my Top 5!
I agree. I just listened to Mural Jnr holy shit... That song is bananas
@@BurningZeal that's my favorite song on the album. Not saying it's the best song on there because happy Timbuck2 and wav files are crazy but I just love to rap that song.
Currently in the story board stages of making a video for it
My 2 favorites of last year as well bro
@@mircobru825 it was remarkable to me how many publications didn't have them in their top 50(❗❗❗) and kept using "did you listen to the other albums" as an excuse as to why. It was weird
Classic interview!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 2 of the best MC’s to ever walk the face of the earth!
Ryan is knowledgeable and incredible MC. Always amazing to hear his views on matters.
Bad Meets Evil 2 is a must drop!
Showing love in South Africa, kindly wish me a Happy birthday
Motlatsi Motseki hbd homie
Happy birthday !! ✊
Happy Birthday 🎁🎉🎈
Crook holding that cigar for 47 minutes AND THEN SAYS....
' im bouta light this cigar because i been itchin to do it, you feel me'
Got me dying :D:D:D
BAD MEETS EVIL 2 MAKE IT FKN HAPPEN
Mannnnnnn that would be dope for us fans.
Pleaaaase
Hell the sequel is possibly the greatest rap album ever in my opinion.
"I hit bags... I dont got nothin back though" lmfao
Peace to the God 5' 9"
Love the show
Thank U Crook. We needed this!!!
Keep an coming. We gonba keep listening.
I definitely want a Bad Meets Ǝvil 2!
We need that back and forth between two top tier mcs right now. Hopefully the features are crazy.
Edwin yeah for real tho.
hope crooked will be featured
@@beasty5984 And Joell Ortiz.
Loving this series with Crook. Keep them coming.
"I bout to eat this cereal, get this material" -Crokked I. BARS!
Royce’s consistency is unmatched. Should be every rappers favourite rapper.
Thanks Crook for asking the questions we needed 💥💥💥
Slaughterhouse we the nicest 4 fellas
and if that day should come that we should ever part ways it'll just be another excuse for us to reunite at Coachella.
Jack Leone “I heard them words and they stung...”
Regardless of what happens they created great music & should only be proud of that.
Dope. Another top tier lyricist and one of my favorites. Keep the Crook's Corners coming
Royce is so underrated thanks for getting him on for the interview crooked
Yes he been nice y'all stop sleeping
Fantastic interview!!! Loved listening to both of you!
Love this interview it’s solid brotherhoodship and I learned a lot so thank you!,
This might be the best thing on hiphopdx, 2 of my favorite artists just talkin
The first Slaughterhouse album is already an underground classic
Crook, Royce, Em and so many others within y’all camp are my inspiration!
24:11 notice royce has been lowkey rapping every time he talks lol
Thank fam, that's a golden time stamp
TheUnbeen beautiful
Royce got nuttin but positivity and that's something everyone should try to replicate.
These 2 lyricist are truely underrated. This dudes have bars for days!
Crook is being very humble. He can make anyone in the game use extra sheets and ink. Much respect 5'9.
Life is full of lessons, good to have music to get you threw the struggles. Much appreciated brother.
GLASS HOUSE NEEDS TO COME OUT. JUST PUT OUT THE SONGS THAT ARE COMPLETE. PLEASE!!! ALL OF US FANS OF SLAUGHTERHOUSE WOULD LOVE IT. WE LOVE YOU CROOK, ROYCE, YAAWAAH AND JUMPOFF. AS A GROUP, WE LOVED YOU GUYS. HIP HOP LYRICISM DOESNT GET ANY BETTER THAN SLAUGHTERHOUSE. PLEASE JUST PUT IT OUT FOR THE FANS. SALUTE TO ROYCE AND CROOKED!!!!
Keep the episodes coming
Cant wait till the next episode 🔥
Crooks corner is the best shit ever man. Nothing better than watching a few of the goats just talk man. They are the definition of Hiphop
Trust The Shooter - Classic
Bar Exam 4 - Classic
Book of Ryan - Classic
Prhyme - Classic
Unbelievable how he’s giving us his best work this deep in his career
I put all the bar exams up there
Layers is classic too
The Allegory - Classic
These two are definitely in my top 5🤘🏼real lyrics and real music is what they give us. I’d love to hear a Bad Meets Evil ft The Kxng.
Nick Hight you’re talking crazy!! Did you see Berrus vs Goku? That much power gets dangerous. 😂😂
Airec Goodwin lmfao!!! You are soooooo right. It would be Super inSane lol🔥🔥🔥🔥
Same here! Met Crook abt a month ago and chopped it up abt an hour
They talking soft though and giving props to wack MCs. We know 100% Royce despises ghostwriting and here he is talking like it's all cool... Bullshit. They need some of that kamikaze energy and diss these fucks not give them props
Same
Great interview! Two of the best to ever do it💪🏽
Best one yet !
Great interview with two Goats, man I really have a lot of respect for Royce with all he has over come with sobriety and stepping up as a man and father. Cocaine track hit my heart for me in a real way but much respect to 2 living legend's, living Goats, as men and lyricist!
Its so dope for Crook to have a platform like this. Praise the Hip Hop gods
That new Crook's segment is great keep up the good work and thanks !
Thanks for that one Chief! Royce needs to be talked about more in this industry.
Book of Ryan was a straight up classic and Royce is still criminally underrated.
That album is a masterpiece to this day ~ Royce is just a master of his class 👍👍 so philosophical this man 🙌🙌
S/O to Crook & Royce Da 5'9!! ✌💯✌
So much wisdom...on AND off the mic. Royce is the ebodiment of the 90s-phrase "Keep it real!"....and so is Kxng Crooked!
Amazing, thanks for this.
I've been waiting for this one ... when Slaughterhouse unites 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Damn CZcams recommendations giving me some fire
I could listen to these dudes talk about hip-hop all day. Really want more collabs from Royce and Crook. Dope interview
Royce is one of the few rappers on earth who can go toe to toe with the best. Not only does he hold his ground on a track but can outshine even the best.
Crook held that cigar in his hand the whole time. BME 2 on the way.
Crooked been holding that cigar since he first heard the phrase "you ain't rich till you get that jew money" he tried way too hard to try hard 😂
Crooked is too real, he said some rappers use the same flow for 20 years lmfao
@GiantsJets718 He didn't specify but there's definitely a bunch of em
Sometimes I think he be talking about Styles P (because of something someone said on Twitter and he seemed to cosign it)
E40 came to mind especially crook being west coast
@@patrickclarke1462 I thought of Talib
Jadakiss!!!
This interview gave me a better appreciation for you both! Two real brothers having a cool convo
Great interview!
This shit made me fucking cry man, loved ones know I don't fucking cry, but I've been following every single artist from Slaughterhouse for years. Dominick met me three times, every time he came to perform in my city of Spokane in Washington State. Crooked has been my favorite artist of any genre, period, and for over fifteen years plus. God bless you, Kxng. Rest In Peace, Slaughterhouse!
Still hurt I never got Glass House
One day possibly never know
DreamVisions TV somebody need to leak it
Joe Budden turned his back on his homies and the fans
@@ManonEarth855 Wrong. He disagreed with how Em would not promote the group and with Em's production/beat choices . He wasn't wrong either. He also wasn't the first person to say this. Stat was on fire on the underground scene--Em signed him-- Stat never releases an album just because they get into a argument when Em wanted him to say a garbage chorus he wrote for Stat on his album and Stat said no. Which is a known fact. Em is a great lyricist but is horrible at making beats and producing/mixing albums.
Every group/artist that Em touches looses traction. Obie, Cashis, D12, Stat, Slaughterhouse, Gunn, Conway, etc, You stans just need to wake up. Especially those who are under 30. You weren't even old enough to know who Em was when he first popped off and damn sure don't know how the culture was back then.
I feel the same way. 😥
This was an awesome interview Crook to me has become an awesome interviewer. Part of it is because he does not wash his opinion for anyone. The fact that he knew most of these answers and still managed to capture an awesome moments.
I always agree with and appreciate you both. Stand up men with great minds and good messages. Plus they 2 of the nicest lyricists, ever.
2 legends talking about the hip hop game it’s beautiful 💚💚💚
This my new favorite thing on the internet
Crazy interview Crook👏🏿🔥👏🏿
Great interview
This interview made me a subscriber
Who came on here and disliked this? People are weird.
Crooked’s corner is dope favorite part of this channel crook always be knowing what to ask
Loved this series from Crooked!
You’re both some of my favorite artist! A joint album would be dope!
“About to eat some cereal 🥣 ,get this material” Bars 🔥 lyrical legend 🔥 wordsmith & spoonsmith 🔥
Royce just gave out the secret to getting sober. If you’re having alcoholic issues, pay attention to this interview. Dope AF!
Crooked is an amazing interviewer!! Keep this format goin
Royce is
the most underrated rapper in history
he's top 10 easily
He's possibly my favorite of all time. He also is generous with his creations. The man is still putting out amazing music on a regular basis. He is steamrolling the game with this demeanor like " I don't care what anyone else is doing, this is what I'm doing," while evolving constantly. Kind of crazy to think about. But for real though, I listen to him and slaughterhouse, Joell and crooked more than just about anyone.
thiago varela Royce is definitely the best right now. He's my fav rapper doing it today
I want a song with Royce and Cassidy
Cocaine is a great song. but nobody talks about Power. I love that song
Agreed power is actually my favorite song on book of Ryan
Power is that shit!
Orion The Red Power was a GEM frfr
Hell yeah. 50 Cent and Power is wat better than any Royce project. Agreed!
Awesome man I liked this one
kxng crook and Royce 59 this is epic great work @hiphopdx
