Royce Da 5’9″ & Nick Cannon Link Up, Bizarre Responds

Royce Da 5’9, though as no-nonsense as they come, has proven rather adept at diplomacy. The Detroit lyricist recently played a pivotal role in squashing the beef between Eminem and Lord Jamar, acting as a mediator of sorts between both parties. Of course, his conversation with Jamar was not without backlash from some of the more hostile Stans, who took issue with the perceived notion of “fraternizing with the enemy.” On that note, Royce’s recent one-on-one meeting with Nick Cannon sparked a far more fiery response.

Though many understood the purpose behind Royce and Nick’s meeting to be multifaceted, with some even theorizing that he’d aim to mediate another longstanding beef, others seemed to believe that betrayal had taken place. D12 member Bizarre opted to voice his own opinion, albeit relatively slyly, by way of a “shrug” emoji; of course, in that particular digital-speak, an image can paint quite the picture.

Royce, as expected, was having none of it. “You got sum’n you wanna say @bizarresworld?” he asks, opening the floor for elaboration. Clearly, Royce is ready to stand behind his recent meeting with Cannon, regardless of however the optics may be received by some. It should be noted that the extent of what we’ve received so far is only a picture — should their conversation be released in a video or audio format, it’s likely that the elephant in the room will be addressed head-on.

As of now, Bizarre has yet to respond to Royce’s challenge. Though the pair have since been amicable, it should be noted that Royce and Bizarre have had a tense history at times, having beefed on wax in the early millennium. We can only hope that old wounds are not reopened in the wake of this tense exchange, and that through words, some middle ground can be reached. And who knows — perhaps Royce Da 5’9″ can actually squash the long-running beef between Eminem and Nick Cannon, and wouldn’t that be something.

François Marius and Bérénice creates a tender acoustic pop confession with “Billie Jean”

François Marius’ latest release, “Billie Jean (Acoustic Version),” cuts to the quick and lets raw emotion take over. What you get, ultimately, is a personal pop experience that feels closer to a secret than to either a spoken-word show or a performance. The initial soft strum of an acoustic guitar creates a mood that is soft, sweet, and quietly interesting. It’s a full-throated, backbones-out piece, and every note is screaming its potential. It’s simple but riveting, and it proves that sometimes less is more.

François Marius and Bérénice’s voices sound right together, their voicings intermingle so naturally that they seem accidental or spontaneous, harmonies that emerge from nowhere. The way they speak to one another is very, I mean, they really love each other. That even makes the track seem like a conversation about feelings.

The two artists are clearly close. Romance and Eros are not just ideas, and they inhabit every note that lingers and every minuscule shift in tonality. The harmonies soar effortlessly over the acoustic foundation, a blend of sweetness and strength. It’s a sign of strength and also of a willingness to be hurt.

“Billie Jean (Acoustic Version)” is stripped of any fancy production or theatrical effects, it wins you over with its frankness and forthrightness. Sandy François Marius’s impersonation is fresh and real, endowed with depth and softness thanks to Bérénice’s presence, which definitely makes everything more perfect. This acoustic performance serves as a stark reminder of the elements that do connect people: the singer, his guitar, and a story from the heart.
