Bad Meets Evil is a group consisted of Detroit MC's Eminem and Royce Da '59, one of which you've probably heard of, the other one, not so much.
A brief history of the two MC's is that they were friends prior to Eminem becoming a worldwide superstar, Em then blew up, Royce had a falling out with Eminem's group D-12, numerous disses were thrown back between both of them, then sadly, mutual friend Proof was killed and they then squashed their beef. The only question on the lips of all fans of both MC's was 'When is there going to be a new Bad Meets Evil song then?', thankfully we didn't have to wait long.
After a ten year hiatus, Royce (Bad) and Eminem (Evil) sound even better than they did ten years ago. The intro finds both Bad and Evil trading bars in double time bars over a great Havoc produced beat, 'Fast lane' is a great track again with both MC's spitting witty lines with an infectious chorus and 'Loud Noises' featuring Slaughterhouse (of which Royce is a member) is a clinic on how to make a mediocre song great with amazing emceeing, especially from Joell Ortiz who bodies the beat.
The main downfall to this album is the Bruno Mars assisted 'Lighters'. It's not necessarily a bad song, it just sounds like every other Bruno Mars featuring hip-hop song and then, therefore, sounds completely out of place with the rest of the album. Other than that it's a great album, it's good to see Bad and Evil back in business.
Until tomorrow.....
