I'm telling you right now, Nas probably has his best opponent yet gunning for him.....
 

And Royce is gonna make him dig deep down to come out the vic....if he can

Nas shit was garbo on that new Khaled....

Can I get some background on this beef?

Are there any tracks .... subliminals....


Cmon man don't chyeahh me here

Ya'll are the kings, kings, kings, I'll role up and squeeze, ya'll are the king kings kings, well I'm bout to see

Royce been talking about "eating kings, cleaning up/ retiring yah fav rapper" for about 2 years now. Yes braggadocio talk includes this but for some reason I'm I'm thinking it means more. See below

Somewhere between Prhyme (last time he gave Nas props) and now (with giving crown props to Jay, Em, and Wayne) something went sour dunno which side it came from. If you remember Royce exclaimed on the track "Truth or Truth" with Slaughterhouse, "Jayz is God to me, Nas is god to me" yet the cloth talk since then has excluded Nas

Nas takes crazy sublimes, all through out his career at numerous cats, but I haven't caught any from his side towards Royce dunno could have missed being he's king of slick, 2nd to only me. Anyway. Royce is known of for making a mount rushmore outta an ant hill so who knows.

I do know Nas was interested in signing Royce back in mid 2000's but nothing came of it.

Bar Exam 2, it seemed like Royce had a new opponent he was gearing for, this turned out to be Joe Budden, later squashed, but damn near every track jabs were thrown. They even joked about this later. Royce was in heavy sparring mode during this. Seems he's of the same mindset now with BE4.

lmao seems like you reading a whole lot of nothing into something that isnt there

just for a change

But will they battle before elenin destroys us all?

lmao at elenin

word to the exclusion of mentions in the legends homage tho

I will say this........Royce on BE4 is bordering on a skill set in rhyming that has never been achieved

kindve surprised no1 talked much about the tape. personally I was floored at how insanely he was barring out on damn near every track.

Yea, he dont want a royce diss track.
He'd bury nas tbh.

I don't know why I was actually expecting youtube videos and / or press links from reputable hiphop magazine and online outlets...

Nas>

he speaks....
 

Word. When those freestyles dropped beginning if 2017 I was like this will be remembered as the year where Royce decided to go nuts

Not your usual type of post cheaya

Disappointed

I thought about making a thread a few weeks ago, but I didn't think anyone was fucking with him. Surprised you're not hating. Royce been shitting tho. BE3 was a little ho-hum IMO. Not that he wasn't ripping, just the beat selection. BE4 will stack up on anyone as far as bars. That slaughter house track was godly.

Royce is my favorite right now out of anyone still doing it. Just makes shit albums besides his first 2.

Really we are talking about lyrical talent here? Give a fuck. .... it's like dissing 2pac or biggie. ... like stfu royce ( if he is even saying anything)

opportunities wouldn't be available if it wasn't for rappers like nas, stfu and pay homage, royce and anyone else in here talking shit about nas....

I wish there were still other people left on this site worth talking to
About rap

Good chat chyin

Why was what I said not a valid opinion for you?

Are you implying that nas didn't pave the way for hiphop?

I'm not saying that I think royce is trash by any means, let's make that clear.... just don't think he should be pushing at him. If nas throwing punches first or whatever have you then that's a different story.

It's more so your analogy I didn't care for

Its nothing like dissing big or pac

I get your meaning by saying they and Nas are/were pioneers

But that's not good enough to float that entire analogy because the comparison takes other avenues into consideration


The most important one being that Nas is able to respond


And it's not even a rocks at the throne scenario at this critically low portion of Nas career anyhow

Rap always has been and always will be a show and prove sport

No1 that is ACTIVELY in the game gets immunity from incoming threats or challengers

I'd refute your claim that Nas is/was as instrumental in paving the way for hip hop as much as you alluded to as well but that's not really a topic I care to pick up....

Especially since for me in this current discussion it's irrelevant as indicated by my earlier point

Lastly the other off putting portion of ur comment was that royce strength lies only in lyrical prowess which is just ..... I mean it's really fucking stupid?

So basically everything you said made it painfully clear to me that you have absolutely no grasp whatsoever on the topic being discussed and really from everything I can gather here a complete lack of base level knowledge in the game at all

That you said the shit was obnoxious enough....but the fact that even after I passed over your idiotic attempt in joining the discussion....you had to ask me to tell you why it was moronic speaks volumes to the breed of blind stupidity that you're infected with.

Okay well I did say that but I did just really mean it like to me seemed like there was an argument about who's the better rapper and who would beat who...


And what I think nas paved the way for is emcees in his city/genre to come up.... not rap/hiphop as a whole....

Your clearly a smart man when it comes to music and for me it's about paying respect in my opinion no matter what the music genre is.

But it's clear you don't want to conversate with me and that's cool, see ya around!

Enjoyable read. I'll check out BE4.The last time i was impressed by lyrics was FWA so its been a minute.
