Bad Meets Evil - Hell: The Sequel

"Lighters" is good lyrically and that's it. Eminem's tone remains in that horrible quasi-angry nasal space which is only OK when he gets really angry towards the climax of a verse (see Airplanes Part 2) but just gets annoying as fuck when he raps the entire verse that way. The chorus is awful, like every other Bruno Mars chorus in existence, and Royce's verse is just OK. And the beat is boring. Skip.
 
Yeah lighters wasn't the best track on the CD, but it wasn't as bad as I expected. Other than that this album was on fucking fire. I love it when Eminem comes hard on a track and brings out that Slim Shady ego;

Catch me in my Mercedes
Bumpin’ “Ice, Ice Baby,” screamin’ Shady ’til I die
Like I have a pair of dice, life’s crazy
So I live it to the fullest ’til I’m Swayze
And you only live it once, so I’m thinkin’ ’bout this nice, nice lady
Wait, no, stop me now before I get on a roll (Danish)
Let me tell you what this pretty little dame’s name is, ’cause she’s kinda famous
And I hope that I don’t sound too heinous when I say this
Nicki Minaj, but I wanna stick my penis in your anus!
You morons think that I’m a genius
Really I belong inside a dang insane asylum, cleanin’, try them trailer parks
Crazy, I am back, and I am razor-sharp, baby
And that’s back wit’ a capital B wit’ an exclamation mark, maybe
You should listen when I flip the linguistics
‘Cause I’m gonna rip this mystical slick shit
You don’t wanna become another victim or statistic of this shit
‘Cause after I spit the bullets, I’ma treat these shell casings like a soccer ball
I’ma kick the ballistics! So get this dick, I’ma live this

Love it.
 
i've only had one quick listen to it and although the lyrics are great, the beats didn't catch my ear. i hardly listen to rap anymore and this is one of a handful of albums i've listened to over the past 6-7 years so that may explain why the beats didn't appeal to me.

i also much prefer eminem's high pitched whiny voice as on sslp and mmlp.
 
lighters was the weak point. it'l gain them some mainstream exposure as a duo. two days, my cousin said "i heard eminem has a new album out". I guess many people are thinking the same thing too, not knowing that he's one half of bad meets evil, a duo with royce da 5'9". they'll probably be thinking its eminem featuring royce or a new group.
 
Lighters is the track that all the pop eminem fans like. It's the type of song that should never be on the album and is only included because Eminem is a corporate bitch. Harsh?
 
album sucks. the verse prize gotti quoted sucks. not in lyrically technical terms, but I'm 23, I'm not 11. it's not cool anymore.
 
^I don't mind Lighters. The beat is chilled out.

The album is good, I quite like that Eminem has made Royce bring something close to his A game again.
 
if it's between hearing about selling coke and this:

"And I hope that I don’t sound too heinous when I say this
Nicki Minaj, but I wanna stick my penis in your anus!"

then absolutely.

Not harsh. I don't hate Lighters. It's a good mainstream song compared to the crap that's out there.

I love the album. It was worth the wait.
