Bad Meets Evil
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bad Meets Evil was a 2-piece rap collaboration consisting of Detroit emcees Royce Da 5'9" ("bad") and Eminem ("evil.") Bad Meets Evil preleased a small number of tracks such as "Scary Movies", "Nuttin' to Do" and "Bad Meets Evil", with the lattermost track featuring on Eminem's album The Slim Shady LP. The track starts out with an old man telling a story of Bad and Evil ruling the town, and how the sherrifs couldn't stop them. It proceeds to go into song, and afterwards the elderly cowboy is back, saying that "On the quiet nights, you can still hear the footsteps of Slim Shady and Royce Da 5'9". The song is considered by many to be the best track that these two artists have made together.
During the Bad Meets Evil period, they recorded the following tracks:
- Nuttin' To Do
- Scary Movies
- Bad Meets Evil
- Rock City
- Renegades
- She's The One
- What The Beat
They have also recorded numerous freestyles together, including a 12-minute long battle. Footage of a Bad Meets Evil concert filmed in 1998 in a club in Detroit has also been leaked onto the internet.
The group was short-lived however, with an altercation occurring between Royce Da 5'9", and Eminem's clique; D12, prompting Eminem and Royce to cut off any connections.
The group has since not worked together. Royce Da 5'9" has since released some tracks dissing D12 and Eminem. D12 have released tracks dissing Royce Da 5'9" and his M.I.C. Records Camp.
Royce & D12 have squashed their "beef" but Royce still discontinues to speak of Eminem.
Bad Meets Evil can be found on records such as Game Tight, the very best of game recordings (including Nuttin' To Do & Scary Movies)
