Although Royce da 5’9″ and Eminem formed Bad Meets Evil and created their EP Hell: The Sequel, they never let their egos interfere from making great music, even if one artist has to be replaced by music mogul Jay Z. Many still argue about who out-rapped whom on the “Renegade” track, and the Detroit native tells us that he doesn’t think it’s fair to judge since each artist brought their unique style to the song. Initially, the song belonged to Royce, but he says since Eminem and Jay were already in talks to collaborate, Eminem sent him the song and Royce’s vocals were removed.

The song goes down in the books as one of the most legendary collaborations in Hip-Hop, however, as for Royce feeling snubbed, he reveals to us that he didn’t mind. “No, I wasn’t annoyed because my verse wasn’t taken off. Once we didn’t use the song, it wasn’t my song anymore. It was like something that was there—it could’ve been used for anything.” He explained, “I had two verses, everywhere you heard Hov rap, I was rapping. So, it wouldn’t have made sense to leave me on there. So I wasn’t annoyed at all, I actually understood.”
