2018 Album of the Year #41 Royce Da 5’9” - Book of Ryan

Posted: 18 Jan 2019 08:18 AM PST

Introduction:

Ryan Montgomery was born in 1977 in Detroit, Michigan where he would later be celebrated as the acclaimed rapper Royce Da 5'9". Instead of regurgitating wikipedia articles I'll give you my brief knowledge of and history with Royce. Like most people I have to assume, I discovered Royce through association with Eminem. In my mind Royce has been Shady's right hand guy for a minute, notably due to their collaboration album Bad Meets Evil, and is responsible for holding down for Detroit when Em is on hiatus. He is a quarter of the now defunct supergroup Slaughterhouse and has made prominent strides in his own solo discography. That's literally all I knew about Royce prior to this album. I've listened to 'Bar Exam 1+2', 'Layers', 'Trust the Shooter', and now 'Book of Ryan'. So 'Book of Ryan' was actually announced as the follow-up to 'Layers' in 2016 but after several delays it was released on May 4th, 2018. This has been a long time coming and in an interview with DJ Booth Royce even said that "'Book of Ryan' took everything out of me: Financially, physically, and mentally. Everything I had.". Well without further delay let's get into Royce's magnum opus.

Track-By-Track:

Intro:

The first thing the listener hears is a pencil writing on a page and already I envision holding a leather bound book. Sonically I'm immediately placed into the pocket Royce was aiming for, that's no easy task. The Intro serves as a pretty conventional prelude as it brings up topics to be covered down the road. Royce sets the narrative in the present as he repeats several times "I woke up this morning" followed by tangential scattered thoughts. These thoughts touch on subjects he has been ruminating on including his decision to improve, the tribulations of his addictive past, and his faith in God.

Woke:

Royce take up a cocky driving flow over a rather simple boom bap beat. The faint chanting sample or background vocals aide to the rhythmic bounce of Royce's verses. It's quick but fun to jam with, the "Oh Yes" sucks me in every time.

My Parallel (Skit):

Royce announces the title in what sounds like a camera-panning score to an Afro-centric documentary. The pattern of speech makes me think of slam poetry readings and he quotes phrases by Gil Scott-Heron that most hip hop fans have heard elsewhere. Just the sentences "All I want is a children and a wife" and "The revolution will not be televised" evoke a long line of history in the genre. This skit really feels like the title card to a TV show or movie (I'll return to this later)

Caterpillar (Feat. Eminem & King Green) (dELuXe Feat. Logic):

The Tenor Saw sample harkens back to older roots of hip hop as the Gil Scott-Heron phrases did. It's catchy and familiar to make a nice foothold for first time listeners. Caterpillar showcases the Royce I know, when he's barred out over heavy boom bap. This was one of the singles for 'Book of Ryan' and understandbly set my expectations for this being another solid Royce album. His second verse seems more sage and guiding rather than lyrically pointed at specific culprits.

The big talking point is Eminem's verse. Caterpillar was released in the space between the train wreck of his album 'Revival' but before his vindictive revenge album 'Kamikaze'. For a minute this was a reminder that Eminem could rap to the level that we expect him to, that he was still above the threshold of being washed. This verse sounds like classic Em to me, specifically: "You're havin' a little trouble fathomin' this shit is actually happenin'/Like Anderson Silva back when he snapped his shin in half/And then had that shit hangin' by the flap of skin/After he tried to plant the shit back on the mat again". This is perfected with snapping shin bone sound effect in the background, classic Em indeed. In the middle of his verse there's little beat break with jazzy finger snapping and Em's flow is addictive. Although he probably still has the worst line on the album when he concludes an entire section of talking about different poop puns with "shit is real like I pooped Jerusalem".

All in all it's great to hear the Bad Meets Evil partnership return and make a good track. For some reason (I'm putting this on Em's decision making) there's a remix tacked on at the end of the album that adds a Logic verse. Look I don't mind Logic but he embodies his biggest stereotype in this one verse. He spends his rhymes ranting about being biracial and neglected, there's even a complete rant about it outside of the verse. Seriously I don't understand how he thought this was ok to use for someone else's album! It's gotta be tongue in cheek to some extent but this escapes that realm of fun parody for me. I would skip the remix altogether.

God Speed (Feat. Ashley Sorrell):

Here we find a reflective Royce explaining how he stayed true to himself even though the pressures of the industry pushed him to be poppier and more trendy. He even goes as far to suggest the industry pushed alcoholism onto the younger talent. Integrity is apparent in his lines and by referencing legends of the game like Jay-Z and Nas he even stays to true to his vision of hip hop. Ashley Sorrell's vocals is a nice touch, including the distorted beat-riding samples.

Dumb (Feat. Boogie)

Dumb is one of my personal favorites. It has a fantastic beat that starts with a police siren squeal which bleeds into this slow piano chop akin to Still Dre. A duo of vocal hooks pop in and out, one a static/muffled "Whoo!" And the other a pitched up child-like "Dumb". Royce takes these cues and hops on to roll fluidly with the samples and keys. He uses the "Dumb" to punctuate his bars as he critiques the current operations of the music industry. Taking aim at the fame machine that props up the most popular artists and extends fake niceties to people like Royce. His label-mate Boogie provides the hook and takes the second verse AND handles the outro. He has such a unique voice (with a notable lisp, which gives it more charisma imo) and straight up murders his feature. If you haven't listened to Boogie's solo work I highly recommend 'Thirst 48' and make sure to be on the lookout for his new album that drops next week (1/25).

Who Are You (Skit):

Alright so up to this point we've gotten the frame of reference for modern Royce's mentality. He feels in control and at a point in his career he can look outward and assess what he is striving to be and what could be improved upon. This skit marks a change, indicated by the page flip sound, into the main attraction where Royce starts to retrace his past. He brings up a game he once played with his father where if he looks him in the eye he can ask whatever he wants. The only catch is Royce can't blink, or the game ends.

He asks about drug addiction being genetic and if his addiction was influenced from his father's struggles. Royce wonders if up to this point in his career is his father really proud of him? Lastly he scrounges the courage to ask about the abuse his father did to his mom, but he blinks and the game ends (I'll come back to this too). Instead of hearing his dad's answers Royce suddenly finds himself in the present talking to his own son. The listener hears his young son explain a school assignment where he has to write about a "figure in their lives that they find inspiring". His son asks to write about Royce and even suggests the title "Book of Ryan". Sitting down to write the son finds he doesn't really know Royce as a person and asks the difficult question "Who Are You?"

Cocaine:

So we've gone back into a recounting of who Royce is as a person. The next chapter or segment of songs explores Royce's childhood and the things that made him who he is today.

So where does Royce choose to start? A fundamental part of his being and his genetic predisposition is something he's already talked about on the album, Royce starts with addiction. Just as he started the album and how he started his line of questioning with his father. Royce had struggled with addiction for some time, even predating sober Eminem who also recognized Royce had a problem. He describes overcoming his triggers and addictive tendencies in an interview: "Once I stopped drinking, as soon as I got to Orchard Lake, it's a trigger. I just got to fight through that. I gotta make that right turn and not go in the liquor store. When I get to the studio and go downstairs, the smell of the studio triggers it. I gotta fight through that. My first year of going through those same patterns, I had to fight through those urges. Once I got myself used to it, making that right turn on Orchard Lake, I don't think about it anymore. The desire to actually drink is nonexistent." Thankfully Royce was able to overcome his vice and in 2018 he marked 6 years of sobriety and has no temptation of relapse.

This song seeks to find the root of all evil, where Royce inherited these addictive inclinations. Cocaine is a glimpse of Royce discovering that his father not only uses but is addicted to drugs. The beat has an altered voice singing in a choked and struggling manner, almost like its fighting the tide of the beat. In the background is a loop that gives a nostalgic yet melancholy overtone which really works well with the slow simple drum beat. Royce enters the song unlike I've ever heard him before. He quickly states these building events in an anxious/nervous way up to the climax of the discovery of cocaine that permeates each situation. The word cocaine is sung with such disdain and sorrow, you can tell Royce is really going through the grief of this memory. The hook is sung by Royce where he connects the dots himself that his problems with alcohol may stem from what he witnessed as a child. He continues with talking interjections about his dad going to rehab and choosing to get clean for his family. There's definite honor in what his dad did to beat addiction and Royce respects him for it. This song is a wonderful look at the maturity Royce is bringing to this self-analysis. Not to mention "lyrical spiritual miracle" Royce sounds pretty damn good as a singer (showcased on later tracks as well). Like I said in the intro I'm not a long time listener but I've never heard Royce as emotional as this track.

The dramatic building and deep emotional delivery along with context to his dad and home growing up makes cocaine my favorite song.

Life Is Fair

This track showcases more of his mother's side of the upbringing. It plays on the old adage "who said life was ever fair?" which personally I heard from my mom a million times growing up. He talks about wanting things as a kid compared to the wants/needs of an adult and how karma plays a hand in it all. Life wasn't easy from the jump for Royce and his family.

Boblo Boat (Feat. J. Cole):

A radio ad buzzes into your headphones and promotes the destination vacation of Boblo Island! But where is Boblo Island and the fuck is a Boblo Boat? A common interviewer puzzler that Royce explains in detail from Billboard: "Boblo Island is located on the Detroit River between Detroit and Canada. The whole island is an amusement park. There's a boat ride that goes from the Detroit River dock that goes to the island. So the boat ride in itself is an experience. That's poppin'. Boblo Island is an amusement park for lower-income families. I don't know if it was made specifically for lower income families, but that was the one we could afford. The one you would aspire to go to." Boblo boat represents the good times, the family vacation where life stopped for one minute as a teenager where you could just have fun. Royce recalls losing his virginity on the now foreclosed amusement park ferry, but more significantly he remembers his brother Greg taking his first alcoholic drink on the boat. J. Cole is also exceptional with his feature which was one of, if not the first, of his incredible 2018 run of guest verses.

Legendary:

Royce opens with another singing introduction. When the beat kicks in there's a pattern of weird synth blips and bloops that comes in waves while an electronic kit goes double time, it's sort of reminiscent of run the jewels to me. Royce goes off on this track and provides a solid catchy hook on top of it. The song is primarily about making a name for yourself by killing the game or fucking. The ideal image is being so legendary you choose not to fuck a certain baddie. I would say this fits the mentality of a young adult Royce.

Summer on Lock (Feat. Pusha T, Jadakiss, & Fabolous):

It's a bop. Just look at those names and tell me you thought it'd be bad, come on now. I think in the context of narrative this would be him and his friends trying to dominate the game (although his verse is dated with a Cardi B reference). This follows the blueprint of most posse cuts. Each member takes a turn giving the beat the business with the exception of Pusha T handling the hook in between each verse. There's not much depth to this track but it's enjoyable. I think the deluxe track edition would have benefitted from a remix of this song with a Pusha verse bonus points for the addition of Styles P or Nas. But I guess Logic's cool too...

Amazing (Feat. Melanie Rutherford):

Immediately a happy upbeat piano pulse greets the listener and becomes obnoxious after 30 seconds. Royce takes a different direction by narrating himself returning to Detroit and walking through a neighborhood store. He sees old familiar faces and reminisces on the days before success. This song kinda gets on my nerves with the exclamatory "RYAN!" and the half hook Royce offers about bounce bounce bouncing that ball. He does give some solid laundry tips that only could be matched by his guest on Boblo Boat. There is a brief mention about his brother going to prison which foreshadows the next skit on the album. The act of recounting something as large as your life is impossible to do without mixing memories. Some ideas are sure to be entangled in others. For example by just telling his son about this time of walking through the store Royce jogged the memory of his brother going to prison

Outside (Feat. Marsha Ambrosius & Robert Glasper):

Quick skit of his son asking if Royce is ever afraid of anything. Emphatically Royce candidly admits "I'm afraid I'm afraid" about 10 seconds later, that's some good parenting boys and girls. Outside has an awesome soul laced beat that I'm going to attribute to Robert Glasper's direction. Much like the majority of this album there's a lot of honesty and sincerity in Royce's lyrics. His ending verse is beautiful, even if it's not Royce at his technical best.

Power:

And now we forcefully snap back into Royce's past. The music sounds so damningly eerie. Power gets added to the collection of songs where before Royce even speaks a word, the tone is vividly set in stone (bars). After the slight build Royce makes an entrance that perfectly matches the energy of the music. This track gathers those loose threads I mentioned in earlier paragraphs but I'll recap real quick: the title card narrator voice from My Parallels (Skit), the game from Who Are You (Skit), and Cocaine. Royce depicts a stressful scene near the holidays where his parents are starting to fight. His father crosses the threshold pretty early with lines like "Momma got herself another bloody nose. Daddy slapped her in the face again". It's really all you need to know. Now in the perspective of young Royce he wished his parents wouldn't fight so much and talks about previous altercations. All the while he drops hints at the innocence of his age like how he and his brothers just got the He-Man castle for Christmas. Near the tail end Royce switches between his father, his mother, his brother Greg, and a kid at school. Royce does an exceptional job with the cadence of each character letting the listener clearly understand who's talking at a given time. He utilizes this again in the second verse when he brings up another time when Greg came home drunk and talked back to their dad. After a quick run through of the horrible abuse dealt to Greg, Royce's father smashes Greg through the stove door and has to be taken away by police. Traumatic doesn't even cover a 1/3 of that. I really love the dynamic Royce incorporated into the song, it feels alive, like I'm listening to a sitcom or play. You're following the action and suddenly narrator Royce will pop with information like "and that's just something with my dad you just didn't do". Anyways the collection of this style and the relationship we've heard described on cocaine it makes me envision an R-rated version of the show Everybody Hates Chris. The family members on that show were at times malicious towards one another (obviously not to the point of drug/child/spousal abuse) but there is the underlying love that's there. Royce admitted this when he showed respect to his father when he kicked his addiction for good of the family. It's a very complicated mess of relationships and extremely personal to share with a therapist let alone on a record that millions of people will hear. Royce knows the situation is fucked up but as the song says "fuck you and happy holidays from the Montgomery family". Just mind your business essentially. The ending skit has Royce's son asking about Royce's father. Royce expresses his appreciation for his father while the menacing beat continues in the back. Then his son asks if the decisions Royce has made as a father were influenced by his own dad. In the distance is the hallowed response "you'll understand when you have one of your own".

Well me, not minding my business and acting like I know these people after one album of content, has thought about the game Royce played in the beginning. He says at the end he was about to ask his father about the abuse before he blinked. Considering the complex dynamic Royce sees with his father's sacrifice do you think he purposefully blinked to end the game? It's a difficult subject to broach with an abuser and the respect Royce has for the man may have conflicted him. Ending the game is a lot easier than confronting years and years of abuse and resentment. I think the ending skit lends to this idea and serves as a testament to either Royce's will to move forward or perhaps to the long enduring acceptance that Royce swallowed as a child. But also I don't know shit about these people, I just really love this song. The storytelling is immaculate and is second only to PROM/KING by Saba from 2018.

Protecting Ryan (Skit):

This is the longest skit on the album where Royce tells a story about his brother Greg. Instead of me recapping just go listen to the skit, it's all spelt out. All I'll say is there's still some unresolved tension between Royce and his brother Greg, and this skit probably didn't patch any wounds. I think about this skit a lot actually, mainly about the way Royce enunciates the actions of the story and the range of emotions involved. It's mesmerizing, best skit of 2018.

Strong Friend:

This song is another mental health check, something that Royce felt was important in order to tell his story and heal. On the Breakfast Club he mentions the importance of addressing the stigma of dealing with past troubles/vices through therapy is corny or a sign of weakness for the black community. He uses the "suicide it's a suicide" KRS-One reference as the hook in a cautionary warning to all those strong friends you may not have next year. Royce brings up some people in the public eye that have talked about suicide (Kendrick, specifically on the song u) as well as those who have unfortunately committed suicide (Kurt Cobain & Capital Steez). The idea is that anyone is vulnerable to suicidal thoughts, even your strong friend that never needs someone to lean on. I would implore you to take the time and reach out to someone you care about and see if they're alright. You never know the hardships people don't speak of... unless they decide to make an album.

Anything/Everything:

I'm not sure what more this track offers to the cavalcade of topics Royce is pushing on his son but it's short and simple. Racism is alive and well unfortunately and police brutality is still prevalent in urban communities. I think Royce keeps this one brief because he's probably had this talk with his son many times already. Be careful and be safe, the consequences of your actions mean everything and anything as an African American. The piano and guitar playing is soft and airy which allows Royce to rap and then sing on his pedestal unobstructed. He concludes in a similar fashion to Strong Friend with quotes from "justice" servants in America. Obviously nonplussed about the message or conviction of these statements

Stay Woke (Feat. Ashley Sorrell):

Pretty unremarkable in terms of the album or story but not a bad track at all. Kinda surprised how non-important the penultimate track feels to me. Maybe I'm buggin, but I'm sure you're tired of reading by now.

First of the Month (Feat. T-Pain):

T-Pain sounds great on this laid back closer, and Royce joins him vocally shining on the conclusion of his book. It's been a hard road, with tons of bumps and ugly pot holes, but this song is a celebration. Lean back, pour that drink into the gutter (cause you're sober), get this money and look to the future. I'm glad the book of Ryan closed on a happy and wistful ending however I wish he had a closing skit with his son. The last we left them was when Royce was bigging up his abusive father, but I guess that's where the report ends.

Conclusion:

The Book of Ryan is a living breathing album that sonically represents the 30+ Years of Royce da 5'9". He gave his heart and soul throughout the entirety of this project. When you combine that dedicated drive with the mental acumen of Royce's typical raps you're given an album that is truly special and worth delving into. I still wake up occasionally with Cocaine or maybe Power, or even Protecting Ryan (a fucking skit!) running in my head. Since this is an autobiography that means there is the possibility of a sequel and I am definitely down to continue investing in Royce.

Favorite Lyrics:

Cocaine-

Papa came home from another day of hard

Work and handed me his key, told me "Go look in the car"

So I went out there to look for what he asked me to get

I was checkin' all the seats but the only thing I saw

Was a bag of cocaine

Power-

"Nigga, you don't hear me talking to you?"

Next thing my brother did is something that when it comes to my father is something you just don't do

He looked him right in his eyes and he asked him, "what the fuck is you gon' do?"

My father hit him so hard his body hit the stove

The oven door hit the fucking floor

The turkey fell out the oven whole and landed near the stairs

Now Daddy standing over Greg talkin' 'bout, "Nigga, you ain't hurt!

Get up, get up!"

Outside's second verse

Boogie on Dumb-

Let's bring the projects back

You see them fake woke niggas that had ta come to that

Mm, I love promoting, elevation and a space that

All my brothers at

And why I lying, I be turned up to these mumble raps

Watch who you coming at don't be (dumb)
