Bad Meets Evil- Lighters (FULL SONG)

[xxTrigger1989xx]

After two listens, I like it better than I expected I would. Eminem's verse is actually excellent, and Royce did alright, though it seems he still has trouble with introspection. But I applaud him for trying. And Bruno's hook is actually class, he definitely doesn't ruin the song like people thought he would.

Overall good track. I figured I would hate it, but for some reason, I can't hate it. I still think it'll end up being one of my least favorite tracks from this.

I agree with EminemBase about the song not fitting on a BAD MEETS EVIL project. I've been saying that since the name of the song leaked. Decent song, but not Bad Meets Evil, more like Eminem (feat. Royce Da 5'9'). In terms of BME, the other two songs we have are superior IMO.

I don't even mind the track bar the hook but on a Bad Meets Evil album it's just out of context or, presented wrong at least. That hook on this album is ridiculous. With that kind of name, and the imagery they create in the head, and the album cover etc. - a certain tone is expected and that hook / feel is totally contradictory to that.

^Man, a lot of people wanted a track where Em and Royce talk about their positions in the game, coming up, and lack of respect, and they got it.

To say it's out of place on a Bad Meets Evil album is to set expectations of the album mostly based on the moniker "Bad Meets Evil." If you had never heard the name "Eminem" before you would probably expect his raps to be the exact opposite of what they are, judging from that name.

It's not a concept album. It's Eminem and Royce Da 5'9" and this song is suitable.

smh.

oh well, I don't really need your approval. Lighters = song of the year, believe me or not.

damn, only thro ems verse and thinking it could be up there

Some people have no ears what so ever, the lyrics posted are wrong.

I would write the lyrics myself but I'm way too lazy,

Why is it relevant what people wanted. What I said has nothing to do with that.

It doesn't fit Bad Meets Evil. Bad Meets Evil are a group where neither Eminem nor Royce are themselves, they're part of a duo and a conceptual duo at that. So the very fact it's a Bad Meets Evil album makes it a conceptual album.

I didn't say I wanted a concept throughout the album, I said I want concepts or creativity, just in general. Just ideas, decent track ideas.

That totally 'up' Bruno chorus sounds TOTALLY out of place and absurd on a BME project. And almost every single person who saw the track list, who I saw, online, assumed that he'd be out of place.

BME are supposed to exist in their 'own sound' and own little evil / crazy / lyrical world. That's what all the other (even recent ones) BME tracks sound like. This doesn't. This is just Eminem rapping about himself as he would on a solo album then Royce rapping about Em. And Bruno breaks the usual wall of fiction, and makes it sound realistic and broad.

This is Eminem feat. Royce, not Bad Meets Evil.

Regardless of whether you like or dislike Bruno, it's not even about that. It just doesn't fit. He's a happy, broad singer with a very broad, innocent voice. His tone and voice is not suitable with Bad Meets Evil, which is supposed to be dark and hardcore.

Dope. Especially when Em gets into all the "was he?" rhymes. I do like Bruno Mars's voice, but this hook isn't his best.

Dope regardless.

No bother, probably be taken down fairly shortly

[pfati]

my only complaint is that his flow is inconsistent. This isn't the type of song that calls for ridiculously fast rapping either. He randomly speeds up then slows down.

[ShadyVsEminem]

holy fuck i watched the whole video, then came to this forum..my eyes got fucked up!

I need better software its to blurry with windows movie maker and Power Director is useless for it

[mceddie]

wow. awful. this has to be the worst ive ever heard eminem flow. really bad. and although royces flow is good, his lyrics suck. wtf happened here? this had potential to be really good. and no, im not one of those people who complain about everything eminem puts out, i loved most of his recent shit. this is just whack though.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with his flow on this track. The only part that is even somewhat questionable is the few "... from a place as dark as I am ... " bars.

Oh damn.

Both of 'em killed it.

someone HAS to be wrong here...WHO IS IT

[slimsoxshady]

Royce bout to have hoes on his dick and i ain't talking bout sprinklers
9/10 track for me, timeless music...one of my favorite releases this year

I came with 5'9" but I feel like I'm 6'8"
