Explain the Eminem and Royce friendship?

[Jimmy Conway]

Can someone kind of explain to me their history? How they met, the fall out, the reconciliation...ect

Didn't he make a song talking bad about the anger management tour or something? And that's what mad Eminem mad?

[slimshady13]

Their both rappers from detroit, I dont really know how they met though. They started beefing during the amt if im correct, Royce was making cue cards or something for em and d12, and they thought he was saying shit, or something.

Em and Royce never really beefed though, mainly D12 and Royce.

When Proof died they made amends because of how stupid it was.

[shadysecret]

Em always respected Royce he said he was one of his favorite rappers.
I had a great quote but I totally lost the quote

Plus Proof and Royce squashed their beef before he died and even did a song together.

Warning: A lot of Stannery below.

Royce heard the SSEP and wanted to meet Eminem. (During his beef with D12, Proof claimed he was on a mission to find Eminem because Em had a good chance of getting signed)

On the night Royces grandma died, Royce did a show and said a line: "I'm ILLa than holding a bananna in front of a gorilla". Eminem heard this line and went nuts, and they met at the show and hit it off.

Because Eminem and Proof had a beef prior to Eminems fame, Royce became Eminems hypeman.
Eminem helped Royce get a deal with Tommyboy Records, but when Royce got his deal, he abandoned Eminem on tour. Eminem called Proof to be his hypeman, signed D12, lodi da.

Royce album flopped because Dre and Eminem didn't participate much on the album. After that, Royce wanted to get signed to Shady Records. Eminem claimed he was busy, then a little while later he signed 50 Cent. That was the breaking point.

A couple years later on the Anger Management tour, Royce said a line: "Fuck Anger Management, I need someone to manager my anger". D12 thought this was dissing the tour, and the beef began. They kicked Royce off the tour, fights started. Eminem didn't participate in the dissing but he cut his ties off with Royce.

Proof and Royce eventually ended their beef, then a little while later Proof was murdered.
Since then Em & Royce been working on their relationship.. He asked Paul Rosenberg to sign Slaughterhouse, and now there's rumors for a Bad Meets Evil album.




I think it's pretty funny, Royce tried to pimp Eminem back in the day. And now 10 years later, he's trying to pimp Eminem again, haha. I wonder if the situations were reversed if he would've helped Eminem out...

Em and Proof were childhood friends, Royce only met Eminem a few months before Eminem blew up, so I don't get where this "Oh they were such good friends" bullshit comes from

[Fa-Q]

Royce said something like, "Fuck Anger Managment, I need to manage my anger" and thats how they were not friends for awhile

Another factor in the parting/falling out was that during the time Royce and Em were together in and around the studio with Dre, Royce's manager was caught blabbering to someone that Eminem was more of a perfectionist then Dre and had seen him sit Dre down and "school him". It got back round to Dre who obviously wasn't happy and things turned a little sour. Royce felt he had to side with his manager through loyalty.

Royce explains how he met Eminem, all the way back to the EXACT date.

[Jimmy Conway]

I wonder how big a part Royce plays in Eminem's current "trust isssues"...?

Well find it?

[HereHere]

They're bumming.

[Epidemik]

i think another reason they reconciled was because cashis dissed royce in a video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yof18clBJKk

for no real reason so Royce called Em up to clear it up and they started chatting.

Em and Royce’s long overdue reconciliation was ironically initiated by one of Slim Shady’s newest rhyme partners taking shots at one of his oldest. “The Cashis thing was like a blessing,” says Royce of the recently released video interview wherein which Cashis threatens Royce over alleged insults made about Eminem. “That [situation] is what got me and Em [back] together. That’s why I didn’t really [address Cashis' comments]. He was just talking, not knowing who he talking about. I wasn’t gonna move [on him] until I found out what Em’s thoughts were [on the situation]. We done been through too much.”
