I wonder.....was Em scared to go against royce? At one point Em was turning out diss tracks it seemed daily. But he never said anything to Royce. And the whole...."BU HEZ MAH FREIND" is kind of a lame excuse. They didn't talk for like seven years, so he must have not been too worried about the friendship.
"remember me?
the hype man dat came on a blazeship
bought in by the white man
like came on slave ship in chains
gold mask wit him turned his back on the only rappa
dat can match him and burn him on his own track wit him"
That's not exactly subtle. He basically bitch slapped Em. And that was back in 03 when Eminem was the King of hip hop. I'm amazed he backed down. I believe Royce, I think he would have burnt Em up. That's why Em stuck to dissing people with no talent like Benzino and Everlast.
Em is my fav rapper, but I think royce would have won that battle.









s.He went at them cause they went at him first(as far as i know he never started a beef out of the blue) and the ones you mentioned were in "style" at that time.Canibus was probably the only real MC he beefed with
.As for Royce situation,i think most of the beef was between Royce,Bizzare and Proof(from that letter i read a while a go),Em kept a low profile about this one.Would have been kind of crazy to go ahead with it since it basicly started over a dumb reason and even if he didn't talked to Royce for years,he probably knew that going further with it would have been stupid.I think he made the right choise.Besides i'm glad that they didn't really beef.If they would have,we wouldn't be here today hoping for a Bad Meets Evil2
