Bad Meets Evil, an explosive duo!

This week, I will talk about a band which does a type of music that I didn’t write about yet. It’s Bad Meets Evil! It consists of the rappers Royce da 5'9" (Bad) and Eminem (Evil), so you can guess, they do hip hop music.


The two rappers grew up in Detroit and had mutual friends, but it’s at a show of Usher in 1997 that they really met each other. They decided to form a group, encouraged by the people around them and because of their chemistry.

They did many tracks, but, in 2001, Eminem work on an album with Dr. Dre’s. A conflict appeared between Royce's manager and Dr. Dre’s, which dissolved the duo in 2002. Later, an altercation between Eminem and Royce cut off any connections between them. Finally, they reconciled in 2006 after the death of their mutual friend and rapper Proof. In 2008, they officially worked again together and, in 2010, a project started to come alive. They finally released the album “Hell: The Sequel” in 2011.

If you listen to a song of 1999, for example “Scary Movies”, and to a song of 2011, for example “Fast Lane”, you can see a big difference. Their music evolved with their careers and experiences and, in my opinion, it’s a great fact!

Maybe you don’t know the songs that I named before, but you probably know the song “Lighters” with Bruno Mars. It’s my favourite song of them! There are also “Bad Meets Evil” and “Fast Lane” which have very interesting sounds!

Which song of this duo do you prefer?
Do you know other ones that you could make me discover?
