Royce Da 5'9" - My Own Planet
Artist: Royce Da 5'9"
Featuring: Big Sean
Producer: Mr. Porter
Album: Street Hop (Deluxe Ed.)
Label: One Records
Released back in October ‘09, Royce Da 5’9”‘s long-delayed Street Hop LP received high praise from reviewers in the Booth and beyond, but didn’t seem to get the large-scale attention (and sales) it deserved. To rectify that situation, the Motown mainstay’s re-released the project, with the addition of a few choice cuts – including My Own Planet, a standout track which finds Royce momentarily shaking off the inner-city grit for a trip to infinity and beyond. Flowing over Mr. Porter‘s space-age synths and snap-clap percussion, Nickel Nine delivers bars laced with trash talk and laid-back wit. G.O.O.D. Music rhymesayer Big Sean arguably steals the show, asking fans to “...hold your girl close and scream ‘B-I-G’ like you recognize a ghost.” as he delivers his braggadocio-drenched closing verse. So, readers, does My Own Planet have the universal appeal necessary to get Royce’s latest set flying off the (digital) shelves? If you think it’s positively stellar, you can hear plenty more on Street Hop (Deluxe Ed.), available now on iTunes.

Glad to see Detroit hip hop artists and producers working together, but I am not sure this song works in more than theory. The elements are all enjoyable (Royce's lyrical intensity, Porter's unique beat, and Sean's lively and creative bars), but together they sound off to me. Sean's contributions were the stand out element here, but I'm not sure its enough to get people overly excited about this new re-release.

This is so dope! Mr. Porter always comes correct with the beat and this has a unique sound to it. It is really catchy but it manages to be a true hip-hop song. Royce's lyrics are good and he flows well with the beat. Adding Big Sean was a great idea because he snapped on this as well. Impressive song.

Big Sean is growing on me. I love all of his lines about BIG. Hes got quite a few. My favorite used to be "D-Town westside, Yea I said it westside
But they yellin Big so much, You would thought it's Bed Stuy" in Supa Dupa Lemonade, but the one in this song definitely takes the cake. "Hold your girl close and scream 'BIG' like you recognize a ghost". I didnt understand it the first time i heard it, but damn that was a great line. His flow was very nice on here too. Big Sean definitely stole this one...cant wait for his album! |

I heard this song awhile back, and while it isn't a classic, I must say that production is sick. Vocals on the hook are much appreciated as are the verses supplied by Royce. Big Sean has really been killing it lately and I hope he can keep his spree up.
Production from Mr. Porter was by far my favorite part of the track. Great song, to say the least. |

Nice verses by Royce and Big Sean. My friends have really jumped on him lately. I hear his tapes all the time. If he's buzzin as hard everywhere else, his debut will be a hit.

The chorus just isn't very cohesive with everything else. Seems forced into the general structure of the song. I don't really believe in "Rotation". I either like it or I don't. Just ok.

Man, Royce had me trippin with this one, didnt see this coming. I think this was laced up nicely.. intro probably beyond the topic he going off of on this song, but this dope for a Royce cut.

I will be honest, when I heard him rhyming bite me and excite me it wasnt enough to entice me so I shut it off.. anyone of us can put together a stream of bars like that..better take notes from that other Detroit rapper that rhymed web with advantage.

Royce starting off a track with some spoken word poetry? I did not see that coming, but this is definitely something different for the man. I'm not sure Royce's hard style works with smooth, funky production like this, but it still sounds pretty damn good. And Big Sean's a quote machine on this one.

Man my homie Royce Da Nickel Nine is back in the booth. One my favorite rappers in the game, put it down again for the motor city. That Mr. Porter beat is dope man. He evidently works with Mr. Porter alot. Big Sean was lyrics was nice man. Royce Da 5'9 lyrics were nice but I've heard him spit doper stuff.

Intro was kinda long. The beat is nice though. Royce is so underrated, he has a nice flow. Big sean sounded nice on this too. Sick wordplay.

Royce Da 5'9" is bringing it lyrically over the smooth and funky production. Big Sean did his thing in here. Originally it didn't had Big Sean but he definitely made it a better song. Its not a banger (or something I'll get nuts over), but it is a good song for rotation for sure.

Hook is great I reckon. But this entire track is a club banger on the down low. Lyrics will get overlooked though, despite being tight as hell.
Side note: Nickel is the only one in the game right now that can keep "being fly" soooo damn fresh. Never a repetitive line. |

What? Royce got bodied by Big Sean. This shoulda been Sean's song actually. He matches this kinda beat much more than royce did

Production-wise it’s all great, but lyrically it’s even better. Big Sean gets my nod as the best verse, but of course, Royce Da 5'9" isn't too far behind. Rotation fa sho!

This song is amazing, Royce killed this song and Big Sean is really starting to stand out. If this doesn’t get Royce’s album moving I don’t know what will.

Wow.. This is different for Royce but he was actually really good. Big Sean sounded right at home (this guy's always laying down quality verses) and Mr. Porter's hook and beat was catchy and creative. 5/5 for sure.
