The Making of Bad Meets Evil (Complex Magazine)

[R.A.W.]

It’s been over a decade since Eminem and Royce Da 5’9” got together for their classic 12” single “Nuthin’ To Do”/“Scary Movies.” A lot has changed since then. For one, Eminem went on to become one of the most successful rappers in the history of hip-hop. Meanwhile, Royce has had a stellar underground career as one of rap’s most respected wordsmiths.

Yeah, some things are different. Then again some things are still the same. For example, the undeniable chemistry between Slim Shady and Nickel Nine. Their lyrical one-upmanship always brought the best out of each other. And although a pointless beef separated them for a while, they’re back together and picking up from where they left off. With Royce (along with his Slaughterhouse brethren) now on the Shady roster, Em and Royce—billed as the duo Bad Meets Evil—are finally giving rap fans what they always wanted with their new EP, Hell: The Sequel.

Just like we did with their classic 12” single, we got down with just about everyone involved with the making of the new album including Em, Royce, Mr. Porter, Bangladesh, and even some of the behind the scenes players. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to hell...

Eminem: “They’re going to download music from here, from there, and with me, my music—it’s never has been and never will be, a money issue. I don’t give a fuck about the money. But when you take shit that is not finished—and not only am I not done with it, but I’m not sure I’m ever going to release it—and put it out there, that shit hurts.

“I’m in the studio all the time experimenting and trying different shit. If I don’t have the freedom to do that—that’s how I make my music, by experimenting. Not every idea that I try and lay on tape works, believe it or not. And then it’s like to be criticized like, ‘This shit is garbage!’ Well it wasn’t even fucking finished! It was late that night, I wasn’t in my...A lot of that material that leaked, by the way, I wasn’t in my right state of mind for. I didn’t put it out there for a reason.”

So it was Royce's idea to have Bruno on the hook. Eminem is a sell out

Yeah, he loves him 'cause he thought he had 2 dope beats by a certain producer. Yeah, makes sense. Not saying he doesn't love Wayne (I know he does) but that doesn't have anything to do with it.
