Can rap his ass off but can't make a song to save his life just like Jay Z but Royce doesn't cheat like Hov and use big name superstar RnB singers to feature and write and sing the hooks on his songs especially singles like Hov does. Nor does he use big name super producers to produce his beats especially singles like Hov does. Nor is he married to a big name superstar celeb and singer like Beyonce like Jay is. Nor does he buy his own records like Hov does
U gotta give credit to Royce for that because there's no difference in Royce and Jay. Both are technical lyrical MCs, both biggest strengths and focus is on word play, rhyme schemes, punchlines and flow, both have the same weakness can't do hooks, can't make songs for the ladies. Both just rhyme bars and do nothing else besides rapping that such as producing, singing, playing instruments, mixing records, sound engineering
Just Royce never cheated like Jay
