UPDATED: Bad Meets Evil EP

[Master Chief]

^not sure theres that many core fans who remember who Royce is...aside from all the active members we have here and maybe some other hip hop forums and of course the city of Detroit...nobody knows Royce

thats why this EP will be huge for him and will likely quadruple his Success is Certain sales

If we can still consider Royce underground then I'd say he's very popular for an underground artist. He has a lot of followers on Twitter (60k I think), sold 10-20k with Street Hop in the 1st week (not so sure) and a million views for "Boom" on YouTube. Lately, it's been growing as well as the popularity of everyone individually in Slaughterhouse because of being signed.

Most core Eminem fans know who Royce is. Even casual fans know who he is sometimes.

wouldn't be surprised if they kept Echo and added 1 verse each...i'd be ok with that
Living Proof gots to go though

Agreed, never thought i'd see a thread where you weren't trolling.

[M-Pyre]

i think people are overlooking just how much of a popularity mismatch this project will be
basically, take the most popular rapper of all time and then take a guy who sold 5,000 copies first week of his last album
it's like me doing an album with Lil B...they'll be like who's that guy with Lil B?

they're obviously doing it for the fans

This better have at least one Eminem beat, I want to hear what 2011 Eminem sounds like beat-wise.

That's not true, the average hip hop fan around me(NY) knows Royce. From either em from back in the day, or slaughterhouse.

Dumbasses who listen to raido rap don't know him, but I think alot of "rap fans" at least know of him.

Come to think about it, why are we assuming that Echo and Living Proof are "Bad Meets Evil" EP songs, and not stuff from Royce's upcoming album? Both seem more likely, specially with the "Shady Records" line on Echo.

because whats on Royce's album won't be released twice for retail

I'm pretty sure that's a pre Re-Up beat, it's nice though.

Can't wait to hear the first single. It'll set up the mood of the album.

I would've been happy with just the 'Bad meets Evil' art as the cover art, but this is cool.

Seing Eminem on some Relapse shit with Recovery voice, it could be cool though

[Sam.]
