[edit] Most underrated emcee

The Source Magazine in May 2006 Issue said that he was most undertated —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.209.130.223 (talk) 17:06, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Mistah Fab

During the battle fab didn't hve any written rhymes. He didn't even know he was going to battle against royce until the last minute. Royce was the one with written rhymes. And he did respond to fab's diss —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.225.19.209 (talk) 01:31, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

Royce entered with the idea that it was more of a "cipher", a collaboration battle, not a diss battle like it turned out. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.15.28.83 (talk) 14:27, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Move from Royce Da 5'9" to Royce da 5'9"

moved Royce Da 5'9" to Royce da 5'9": standard for articles, even "ebonicized" ones -- allmusic has him listed as this

I wasn't aware of this standard for peoples names, could you provide a link to the relevant policy? Thanks :) – Quoth 23:45, 5 March 2006 (UTC)


  • Can someone cite that he was "voted one of the most under-rated MC's"?--Isotope23 20:35, 10 March 2006 (UTC)


  • The incident with Proof and Royce being locked up in adjacent cells happened before 2005. Please check your sources, the chronology is way off. Also, the Death Is Certain LP doesn't contain 'bitter subliminal disses' to the members of the Shady Camp, Royce aired that out on his "Build and Destroy" mixtape and expresses frequently on Death is Certain that he has "moved on" from the Beef. --Ford Guarino April 25, 2006 at 1:48 (EST)
  • Especially the second paragraph of the 'Style' section. It's not a fan page, it's supposed to be an encyclopedia.

I just removed the second paragraph of 'Technique', it contained no information beyond what existed as an opinion. Perhaps the rest of the article should also be evaluated for neutrality? Haidinski 01:52, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Death Is Certain & MIC

Could anyone add a piece of text to this about Death Is Certain being a classic album ? And also some more(a new subcategory preferred under Today about The MIC[crew and label]). Tuplad 00:16, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ain't Been In Da Game Da Long

I really don't think RD5'9 has been in the game since the 80s'. he might have been interested in the game since he was 10, but i don't think he been in da game longer than Premier. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.167.254.68 (talk) 01:32, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

He's spitting for a while now, he's spitting for 15 years now. --Tuplad (talk) 21:20, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
