Most people under those circumstances would have opted not to perform. Royce made the decision to persevere.<\/p>\n<p>The way the story goes was that Eminem had a booth at the concert venue selling his Slim Shady EP. Kino made the introduction and Eminem was impressed by Royce. Fast forward a year later, Eminem was being signed to Aftermath and had passed off Royce\u2019s demo to Dr Dre. <a href=\"https:\/\/hiphopnewsjournal.com\/royce-da-59-the-blessing-in-disguise\/\">Dr Dre flew out Royce to work on music for his album Chronic 2001<\/a>.

This was\u00a0because of\u00a0a beef with members of Eminem\u2019s group D12. Due to Eminem keeping silent, Royce aired out his feelings towards Eminem for not coming to his defense on the track \u201c We Ridin\u201d. It would not be until Royce reconciled with the members of D12 especially Proof that Eminem would start working things out. The passing of Proof was what made Royce and Eminem realize completely how foolish they had been with each other for years. Even though they were friends again, Royce and Eminem would not put out any material together until 2011.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Royce da 5&#8217;9&#8243; &#8211; We Ridin<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><iframe width=\"1080\" height=\"810\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/1NgVKkQR36Q?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; encrypted-media\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>That is when they put out together the project <strong><em>Hell: The Sequel <\/em><\/strong>under their group Bad Meets Evil.\u00a0 The project was spearheaded by the single \u201cFast Lane\u201d.\u00a0 Several months later Eminem would appear along with Royce on the album <strong><em>Success Is Certain<\/em><\/strong>.\u00a0 The\u00a0track was \u201cWriter\u2019s Block\u201d which turned out to be the lead single.

It is good to see that they were able to overcome their differences and still periodically put out new material. With the backlash that came with Eminem\u2019s Revival project it was Royce who has been the most vocal, coming to his defense. The backlash has seemed to inspire Eminem as evident in their latest collaboration \u201cCaterpillar\u201d. Hopefully there is another Bad Meets Evil project in the works in the near future.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"QNrPDThs8d\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/hiphopnewsjournal.com\/royce-da-59-the-blessing-in-disguise\/\">Royce da 5\u20199\u201d: The Blessing in Disguise<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" src=\"https:\/\/hiphopnewsjournal.com\/royce-da-59-the-blessing-in-disguise\/embed\/#?secret=QNrPDThs8d\" data-secret=\"QNrPDThs8d\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" title=\"&#8220;Royce da 5\u20199\u201d: The Blessing in Disguise&#8221; &#8212; Hip Hop News Journal\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Royce da 5\u20199\u201d and Eminem also known as Bad Meets Evil have had a relationship for over 20 years.
