Royce da 5’9” is one of the most articulate hip hop legends today. He can talk about rap, about politics, about the health care system and about institutional racism – all while being clear, concise and sincere.
His recent conversation with HipHopDX he talked in length about how environment forms perceptions and how widening horizons helps an artist to grow. He also mentioned that Eminem played an important role in his own evolution:
Marshall is my guy. He did not see all the deal but he played a huge role in me not generalising white people.
