The Twilight Zone or should I say The 5'9" Zone!

Royce Da 5'9", Detroit Hip Hop recording artist, is probably one of the most underrated rappers in the industry. He is mostly recognized due to his association with Eminem, his famous dispute with Eminem and group D12, recording mainly with DJ Premier, Nottz and Carlos "6 July" Broady, as well as ghostwriting (writing songs for other artists) for the likes of P. Diddy and Dr. Dre. In recent news, he's also a member of rap group Slaughterhouse which features other underground heavyweights Joe Budden, Joell Ortiz and Crooked I. He has left a mark in the underground with his successful mixtape series, The Bar Exam, and has released several albums to further solidify himself as one of the elite rhyme sayers of the Hip Hop world. This one fellow is slick plus this overpowering delivery of his syllables that doesn't make it hard to believe that he can hold his own on songs featuring other elites.

In this particular song, Royce delivers one awesome story with a template bounding similarities to Twilight Zone episode. (Click Twilight Zone to know what it is) The video is directed by Rik Cordero. All Slaughterhouse members make a cameo.

"Last night we had a one night stand but when I woke up in the morning I missed you, you see, all I'm saying is can I see you again? Cause when you left you took a part of me with you."

Story telling at it's best.

The Twilight Zone: The Masks

Here is another incredible episode of The Twilight Zone. This episode focuses on the importance of being beautiful internally rather than externally. It is a perfect example of the shallowness and negative traits that we all somewhat have.

It's like Kanye West rhymed, "The prettiest people do the ugliest things, for the road to riches and diamond rings".

The Twilight Zone: The Eye of the Beholder

In 1959 a popular half-hour American television anthology series created by Rod Serling titled The Twilight Zone that is noted for its moral messages that focused on humanity without going into political messages hit the Television air waves. Each episode is a mixture of self-reliant fantasy, science fiction or horror, frequently concluding with a surprising ending. Rod Serling was brilliantly cautious in making sure that the unexpected twist was not for its own sake, as it usually broadcasted irony with what had happened before.

The Eye of the Beholder is one of The Twilight Zone's most adored and famous episodes, and with great reason; it's incredibly written, astoundingly executed, and packs a never forgetting fable like twist. While it's only a simple allegory, it plays an important role in symbolizing the superficial and judgmental mind of the Human race. The episode takes the form of a vessel that’s criticizing discrimination and segregation of our overly opinionated society.

I don't want to ruin this amazing episode so I suggest you watch it.
