MotiTunes!: Bad Meets Evil

"I'm Livin' Life in the Fast Lane. Pedal To The Metal." -Bad Meets Evil

Bad Meets Evil? Sounds like Hitler meeting Hades in the 8th circle of Hell.

Now as hellacious of a combo that sounds, I think the combo of Eminem and Royce Da 5'9" will give this previous duo stated a run for its money as which combo is the most deadly. Bad Meets Evil is one of those hip hop groups from the retro days of the hip hop underground scene.

First verse, uh, I'm armed til' I'm on an island,
My life's ridin' on the autobahn on autopilot.

This duo has been around for awhile and had it's up and downs. Eminem and Royce met each other through the Detroit native and friend of both men, Proof of D12. They created a very dark version of music chemistry with heavy bass, dark yet creative lyrics, and a vibe that will have other artists crawl away in fear if they rubbed them the wrong way.

As Eminem started to get more mainstream, Bad Meets Evil took a back seat and broke up with Eminem focusing more on his solo career with Dr. Dre and D12 while Royce went with another hip hop group known as Slaughterhouse. It's been about 10 years since Eminem and Royce teamed up with their album, Nuttin' To Do, and if you thought that left a death tone in your ears...wait til you hear Hell: The Sequel.

You morons think that I'm a genius
Really I belong inside a dang insane asylum
Came to drive them trailer parks crazy
I am back, and I am razor-sharp, baby.


First and foremost, this is not for the kids. This is straight up as raw as hip hop gets with it's lyrical prowess and explicit language. So keep the little ones away. I love this album not just because it's Royce and Eminem; it's they're lyrical chemistry that has listeners hooked. Almost every song feels as if you are watching them battle each other until the end of the song then you decide the winner. It's amazing to think that Eminem could find a partner that is as insane in the membrane both lyrically and mentally; thankfully he found that in Royce.

I like the song "Fast Lane" the most since it sounds great and motivates people to live the life they have to the fullest. Other great songs I enjoyed are "Above The Law", "I'm On Everything", and "Echo". Now they released an EP for this album which I enjoyed, but that was a great tease the full album which is in stores now!
