I don't really get how you can throw Pac, Big, Em, etc into the convo as if Royce could ever touch those people on the mic. You can say Bizarre from D12 is wack.... me bringing up other good rappers doesn't make him any better. And for the record I do think Nas is way overrated. I'd call Cube generic, but since he started that sound I can't.
My point about the skinny jeans song is that he did a whole joke song based on some shit people don't even wear anymore. The skinny jeans line was on point two-three years ago when Cham got on it.
No joke, I can walk down the street in Manhattan and run into 5 dudes handing out vinyls that can shit on Royce. I mean, I'm not sayin the dude is garbage on the mic. He's kinda nice... But BORING as fuck to me. The beats are (most of the time) mid 90's Wu loops. There isn't anything about Royce that would make me look twice at dude.
