Where do you rank Royce on your all-time lyricists list?
He is absolutely my top five
Royce is 3. 2 is Pac. 1 is Em. Period
Oh man Royce is definitely top tier in the rap game. I’ve known this most of my life but I feel like too many people my age slept on him for ever
Krino is the greatest lyricist to me . Love Royce too tho!
Lupe Fiasco, MF DOOM, Black Thought, Nas, Em, Ka.. these are my top lyricists at present
HELLLLLLLLLLLO
ROYCE!
My top not in order are Ka, lupe fiasco, Aesop rock, mf doom, elzhi, black thought, skyzoo, pharoahe monch, blu, talib kweli, Sean price, em, Kendrick, big l, big pun, billy woods, earl sweatshirt, Mach hommy, Royce 59
And most of the wu tang members
I think a lot of these people are underrated
Arguably 10, deffo 15.
Mickey facts just cooked him 2021 and he's crying like a bitch
Yes
No. Marshall is. No one touches Eminem in writing.
And Y'all Did Not Include K-Rino SMDH
Nope.
He's not even the best lyricist from Detroit….Elzhi is.
Royce always been nice musically. He is one of the best ambassadors of the genre today.
EMINEM, JOYNER LUCAS & ROYCE are the best Lyricists
Aesop rock, lupe fiasco, homeboy sandman, and royce are criminally slept on
Joyner won?
DOOM no1
1.eminem
2.nas
3.Royce
He's better than fEminem
Can we finally omit 2pac and biggie out of top 5 list dead or alive. They were dope my favorites for a long time but. Short lived careers. Small discographies. Like I know Tupac had a million tracks but I mean legit work he was involved making
Page looks like Royce
hell yeah royce is a great lyricist… he's definitely one of the greatest rappers of all time but people don't know that
Kendrick and Eminem are better
This man on here talking about Rhinestone bandannas lol smh
Royce mad dope though
Dangit Page… this dude lol
MF DOOM is the greatest in my opinion
