Eminem + Royce Da 5’9‘s ‘Scary Movies’ Turns 20
The Grammy-winning rapper and Royce Da 5'9 are real-life rap game veterans, although Royce won’t be gracing the stage with his longtime friend. In other news about the hip-hop duo, their "Scary Movies" classic recently officially reached its 20th anniversary.
Royce went to his Instagram page to geek out over the milestone. 5’9 also shared the single’s artwork to the masses.
“20 years ago…. S/O my bro #Reef”
The post sparked a couple co-signs and reactions from Royce’s crew.
“Sheeeeees a whole dub ago wow. Epic journey my guy ! ” -Daylyt2k
“F*ckkkkkkk that was 20yrs ago we getting old! Where do time go ” -Al Nuke
Royce Da 5’9’s Found A Classic 2Pac Clip
Royce is a true hip-hop historian. Recently, the Detroit rapper lit up social media with some super rare footage of the late Tupac Shakur from his youth.
The Motown native went to his Instagram page with the must-see clip. The footage features Pac speaking on the importance of ownership and overcoming oppression.
“I’m looking at you and you look god d*mn good to me and you’re my sister and I ain’t finna let none of these crackers take you down. You feel me? And that’s coming from my heart. It’s like that. Like they said, we’re at war and it’s all good. Everything is all good. It’s all good. You feel me? And when I say ‘Thug Life’ I mean it. Because these white folks here, they don’t care what you think. … Whoever you think you are, we’re thugs to these motherf*ckers. You know? And until we own some sh*t, I’m gonna call it like it is. How you gonna be a man when you’re starving? You know?”
Royce Da 5’9 Properly Salutes Zaila
A few days prior, the Motown native hit up his Instagram page with a major shout-out to Spelling Bee champion Zaila Avant-garde. Royce not only called her a living “G.O.A.T” but also referenced Zaila’s Black Girl Magic after becoming the Scripps National Spelling Bee’s first African American winner.
“B.G.M.”
Zaila bodied her Spelling Bee competition by ultimately sealing her victory spelling the word “Murraya,” which is a genus of tropical Asiatic and Australian trees. The win also made her just the second Black champion in over 20 years.
The only previous Black champion was also the only international winner: Jody-Anne Maxwell of Jamaica in 1998. The bee, however, has still been a showcase for spellers of color over the past two decades, with kids of South Asian descent dominating the competition. Zaila’s win breaks a streak of at least one Indian-American champion every year since 2008. (AP)
