Hip Hop Crossover LP.
Since the hip-hop community caught wind of them around 1999, Bad Meets Evil spent a decade in the more-a-legend-than-a-band category. Members Eminem and Royce da 5'9" spent those years not speaking thanks to beefs and feuds, but then the 2006 murder of their mutual friend, D12 member Proof, brought them back together. Fast-forward to 2011 and this EP re-launches the project, although fans have already been notified that Hell: The Sequel is “a collection of tracks” so excuse the mess. It’s not much of a mess, really, as the glossy “Lighters” feels more like a Bruno Mars track than Detroit diesel, while “stop stealing my music” tracks like “Take from Me” rarely become fan favorites. Everything else works just fine, with Royce displaying growth and superior skills that casual fans have slept on, while Em puts one foot in the past where gross humor (“Tell Lady Gaga she can quit her job at the post office/She’s still a male lady”) and scrappy rhymes reigned supreme.

Last FM Information on Bad Meets Evil
Please note the information is done on a artist keyword match and data is provided by LastFM.
Bad Meets Evil was an American hip hop duo consisting of Detroit-based rappers Royce da 5′9″ ("bad") and Eminem ("evil"). The duo formed in 1997, and their name was derived from the song "Bad Meets Evil" on Eminem's album "The Slim Shady LP" (1999), which featured Royce da 5′9″. They debuted with the double single "Nuttin' to Do" and "Scary Movies" in 1997, with "Scary Movies" later appearing on the soundtrack of the 2000 comedy film "Scary Movie".
The duo initially broke up following a feud between Royce and members of Eminem's group D12. The dispute ended after the death of D12 member Proof, a close associate of both rappers, in April 2006. In 2011, after Royce's supergroup Slaughterhouse signed with Eminem's Shady Records, Bad Meets Evil reunited to release the EP "Hell: The Sequel". The EP reached number one on the U.S. Billboard 200 and was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Its lead single, "Fast Lane", peaked at number 32 on the Billboard Hot 100, while the second single, "Lighters", featuring Bruno Mars, reached number four.
The duo collaborated again for "Vegas" on the 15-year anniversary compilation album "Shady XV" (2014) and recorded two tracks for the 2015 boxing film "Southpaw", titled "All I Think About" and "Raw". They also reunited for "Not Alike" on Eminem's album "Kamikaze" (2018), and Eminem appeared on Royce's track "Caterpillar" from the album "Book of Ryan" (2018). Royce was featured on three tracks from Eminem's album "Music To Be Murdered By" (2020): "You Gon' Learn", "Yah Yah", and "I Will". On the song "Godzilla" from the same album, Eminem references the duo's continued activity.
