Royce Da 5'9" - Writer’s Block
Artist: Royce Da 5'9"
Featuring: Eminem
Producer: Streetrunner and Sarom
Album: Success Is Certain
Label: One Records
How do you effectively drop a dope single that gets everyone talking? The question has been asked over and over again by every rapper, singer, DJ, and label head, but there still doesn’t seem to be a clear answer. If you ask me, the formula’s actually pretty simple. Just take a little Bad, add in some Evil and let them go to work. Bad Meets Evil returns with Writer’s Block, Royce da 5’9”s Eminem-assisted new single off his upcoming album, Success Is Certain. (SIC is Nickel Nine’s non-Shady Records release that will be dropping before the next Slaughterhouse album.) Produced by Streetrunner and Sarom, Writer’s Block features a head-nodding beat that rewrites the definition of head-nodding, complete with NASCAR-speed hi-hats and operatic vocal samples. Filled with rapid verses from Royce and a hectic chorus from Eminem, both emcees flaunt how they will never run out of dope rhymes; case in point, Royce’s hilarious G-Unit riff. Will 5’9’s recipe for single success pan out? We’ll have to wait and see what the Booth thinks, but one thing is for sure – sooner or later, Success Is Certain.

 There isn't much that can top Royce and Em rhymes over mean, angry, aggressive production. I've thought about this plenty and I am right. Right?

Royce Went hard on this track! Success is most definitely certain if he keeps this pace up with his on coming tracks. I liked everything about this track. Em and Royce compliment each other in a nice way. They should really collaborate a lot more. Solid stuff.

It's hard for me think of two rappers more angry than this duo. The beat is intense, which matches both emcees style perfectly. Royce is good at being angry and intense, yet not sacrificing his lyrics or flow.

I'm glad Em and Royce worked their differences out and teamed up tomake great music. This is one of many classic songs that will be made. Shady aftermath is gonna be a problem with the line-up they have

It's too bad eminem was barely in this. But, this is still definatly one of the best Royce songs I've heard.

I like Royce, but I just have not been feeling Em too much lately. The beat is tight, but this track isn't my style.

Oh damn! This is so nasty! The production is so crazy. And that rage in Royce's rhymes are crazy. Well Eminem wasn't in the song that much cause Royce just destroyed it. 5/5

Royce went IN on this one. I wasn't mesmerized by the beat but him and Em both had my attention lyrically. The hip-hop heads will respect this one.
