When Eminem & Royce Da 5'9" sat down with DJ Eclipse, DJ Riz and WNYU’s Halftime Show in 1998, Shady was still almost a year away from being a household name, and Royce almost four years from dropping his debut album.

But you can see the roots of success in a freestyle the good friends laid down for the show, and DJ Eclipse just re-released.

Fans of the pair will recognize some of the flows from later projects.

What do you think of young Em and Royce?
