Oct 18, 2015Oh man, Nickel. Definitely gotta be up there with the GOATs. Became a fan of his solo work not too long ago and I gotta say, this MFer is really overlooked.
For all of ya'll brothas complaining about Success Is Certain not exceeding you expectations, that's like expecting The Marshall Mathers LP 2 to be as great as it's predecessor.
And that album is still really dope, regardless of whether or not he was spittin' at his prime level. Also, look at some 2011 Royce interviews about the album.
He always explains how he's in a different, more optimistic stage of his life, and Death Is Certain was so good because he was a really indignant individual [in his own right] at the time.
^f---ing classic track from SIC. SO reminiscent to Boom. [another classic]
He killed a fair number of tracks on the Bad Meets Evil EP.
PRhyme was an amazing body of work. Just goes to show ya how R5'9'' and Preem can still make 'em classics like they used to.
Overall, Royce is a really remarkable artist who's never... falling... off...
Haters get the gas-face.

Is 20k pretty good? I have no concept of sales now.
I'm in a bit of a Royce stan mode right now. I f---ing love Book Of Ryan. Relistening to his projects of recent years you can really hear the maturation, like he's been working toward this new lp since he sobered up. This track needs to be released properly some when though:
