bad meets Ǝvil - Hell: The Sequel [E - Mainstream]

First of all, I'd like to apologize for being a big, fat liar. As it turns out, this is not in fact an Eminem album. It's an Eminem AND Royce Da'59 album. So, yeah, I lied. Secondly, I'd like to say that it's probably one of the best rap albums I've ever heard.


Have I met my quota for saying the word "album" yet? Yes? Sweet, now we can get the ball rolling.

Also, I'd like to take a moment to apologize for this written review probably being vastly different from the recording. I suck balls at dictating what I've written, yo.

Anyway, this is actually my introduction to Bad Meets Evil as well as my introduction to Royce Da'59. I came into it expecting Marshal to kick ass, but was pleasantly surprised by how awesome Da'59 turned out to be. I found one of his parts in "The Reunion" to be particularly epic: "I'm feeling your whole swagger and flow, can we hook up? I'm like, hmmm, you said the word swagger, so no." Bitch got shut down!

Just about all the tracks sounded great, each in different ways.

comparing previous Eminem efforts:

mmm, baby.

If I had to pick a favorite track, I'd say it's "Lighters". Maybe it's because I'm just a sucker for songs about the artists boasting about the skyrocketing careers.

Kidding, kidding, but seriously, it is my favorite track.  I give this record a 10/5 !  HAHA!

HEY, ROBBY, WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE TRACK?!

Robby: LOUD NOISES!

LATERS,
JOEY

here's a music video for "Fast Lane"

and here's a fun video to go with it!  ENJOY.

See you soon!,  Robby.

Welcome to this thing of mine

Well here is a music reviewing blog of sorts.

Each day I will review a mainstream band's album then the next day an album by an underground band.

The reviews will go A-Z so 1 mainstream "A" then next underground "A" then mainstream "B" and so on and so forth.  I would like to keep these reviews and albums current so preferred they be released within the last year or so.

Rating system -
If I determine the album to be a good one I will give it a score of 1 to 5!  Half points are allowed.
If I think it is no good then I give it 1 or 2 middle fingers on how much utter disdain I feel towards the POS.

How the albums will be chosen:

The albums will be chosen by you!  The blog reader or casual browser.  So for tonight (8/3) I will have you choose an underground band starting with the letter A and I will pick one and review that record for tomorrow (8/4/11)

Today's review is of The Arctic Monkeys' new record "Suck It and See" for mainstream.

Let's have some fun.
