Royboy Respect Clause, n: the mechanism Royboy uses to rate and classify music. Essentially, the artist must have "worked the gigs" - that's building up a profile playing live in pubs, etc. If they haven't, their music is automatically crap - no questions asked. Credentials like experience, ability or talent are totally irrelevant in this respect, so too the music's quality in terms of technical sophistication, critical acclaim or even popular appreciation. That's because all sales from non-RRC music is apparently due to non-musical factors like image and marketing, not because buyers of such music - even long-term ones, or of enduring artists - actually like it. It's also rumoured that Royboy uses the RRC when vetting chicks and that it's a name used to describe his custom sex position.
