If Dre didnt think that Royce was as hot as he IS then he wouldnt have Royce writing his rhymes, hhmmmmmm.....but nobody knows that, the malcolm X shit is hot, all the dis records are hot and em knows what royce is capable of, and this is much more than some Rap beef because this is some real life shit between two men that sucked in other people, i think em is dope, but the reality of it all is that LYRICALLY he is NOT better than Royce, listen to his album, listen to King of Kings, listen to some of their duets, listen to the ORIGINAL renegades, Royce is no joke, he gets slept on, and the reason dre didnt sign royce is because royce was already under contract and hes doin him, em has come far but hes changed so much since he came out as silly ass slim shady, this guy is playin the tuff guy role, and as a hip-hop FAN i can admit that, i love em, and i once also thought he was the nicest kid alive, but in Reality he is NOT, now out of humility royce would tell u this also himself, but there are people doper than em.as far as this beef goes u cant listen to the third song (malcolm X) and base statements on that, the beef was initially targeted at Bizarre, and Royce made it clear that he was not goin at Em or even Proof for that matterand if u heard the d12 records, u would understand why he did the malcolm x track, Em is definately top 5 right now, but there are 3 people ahead of him
