    1. They both spazzed! “of course im a one trick ‘pony’, cuz i’ll be screamin on these whores til im hoarse(horse)”

    2. Wowww… Bad Meets Evil finally back in the booth….. It ain’t safe no more………. Beat is gutta.. Nice to hear, instead of all that synthesizer sh*t people be rappin’ over.

    3. Have to give it a 4/5. For anyone else this is an easy 5 but you gotta hold em to a different standard. Royce is nasty and on this shyt, and Em def killed his first verse but didn’t end as strong. Sick Beat

    4. yo whos song is this

      is it a bad meet evil album (that would be crazy)

      Recovery Re-release bonus track

      but i like it

      who did the beat

    5. Agreed, Nice to hear Em and Royce again I love how they feed off each other. Em you’re far too good at what you do. Maybe you should focus your energy on curing cancer.

    6. Solid track, royce and em’s first verse are both real nice…I just PRAY em would of come with the smoother/non yelling vocal tone on this track to match Royce’s SMOOTH flow (think sing for the moment, stan, cleaning out my closet, murder murder, going through changes, deja vu, the warning, bet cypher, westwood freestyles in 09/10 in terms of TONE, airplanes 2 (tone wise)…i like the line about screaming til he’s HOARSE after calling himself a one trick pony, but only b-c it’s STARTING TO BECOME TRUE…

      I know he’s trying to spaz out lyrically or whatever and the yelling/shouting CAN be necesssary at times (Til I collapse, love the way you lie, white america, last verse of soldier, almost famous, etc), but he used to be able to come UNREAL lyrically/storytelling and not have to YELL at the listener. And if he did yell it wasn’t his voice sounding hoarse like recent collabs. In terms of POST comeback vocal tone/flow, EM please start to sound like THE WARNING, WESTWOOD, FOREVER, AIRPLANES 2 (tone wise b-c lyrically it was avg at best), Dispicable, even his lil wayne (who i think is a clown 90% of the time) collabs have been solid verses from him for the most part (lycially and tone wise).

      You guys agree? It’d be one thing if POST 09 he proved he couldn’t come with the great tone/flow, but he’s proven like 10 times or so that he can, just not nearly as consistent

    7. Best I’ve heard from Em in a while Royce was nice on it, glad to see the Detroit duo killin it again… probly would have gone with a different beat myself but it kinda works.

    8. yo this shit is fuckin heat. dj talkin over em verses is wack. em bulldozed this shit. he ups the difficulty with endless delivery tricks. scream on whores till hes hoarse. royce killed it. they need 2 drop an album. em gonna need to be and should be all over the next slaughterhouse album.

    9. Dear HIP-HOP,

      Welcome back, this is track is living proof!!

      The only comment I have is that MC’s in general should stop singing like RNB-hoodrats, it’s awful.

    10. Heat Rock. I aint even been fucking with Em like that cuz his voice kinda been irking me but he goes in on this one. Like really goes in. I might go download Recovery to see what niggas was talkin bout

    11. ohh HELL YEAAAAAH! royce killed it! best from em ive heard in all these collabs hes doing.. finally doin it with a respectable MC.. scratch respectable actually, try top 5 right now

    12. this is fucking beasty, this is wat we need, eminem might bea pop star but he just signed four rapping mother fuckers, altho i thot this wasa proof tribute its just rappin awsome loved it

    13. woooooh finally some real sh***t from the dope white mc and royce is awesome too i love this hip hop is never dead ppllllll

    14. Eminem is hit and miss right now… How can he rap so good on session 1 and ridaz then fall back down to his re-up flow on this track.. Royce killed it but Eminem sounded like he did on the re-up album… I wish he would spit like he did on the warning and session 1…. instead of the way he does on this track, re-up, and dispicable….

    15. a Bad meets Evil album would be GREAT for both these guys right about now….get Royce out to alot more people and bring the “Shady” out of Eminem…i want it…

    16. i gots to comment agian this beat is fuckign class, perfect hip hop beat for rappin its funky and sounds cool but nmore importantly provides a bed for the rappers to rock over it doesnt out shine the rapper

    17. Lmao now go try to listen to your bullshit music now you faggots. HAHAHA TOO ILL. Been listening to Them since Bad Meets Evil came out. glad they came back.

    18. no matta how much haters don like it eminem is soo crucial in real hip hop cause he doesa collab wit royce and watch now soo many ppl r gunna love royce these collabs help the game so haters keep jerkin and wearin girl jeans

    19. This is just decent to me nothin really special Royce killed it but it was far from his best work Nickle can go alot harder than this but shit he did enough to outshine Em with a half assed verse prolly best for Em that Royce didn’t go in like he could if the shit woulda been a massacre

    20. This is just decent to me nothin really special Royce killed it but it was far from his best work Nickle can go alot harder than this but shit he did enough to outshine Em with a half assed verse prolly best for Em that Royce didn’t go in like he could if the shit woulda been a massacre….

      1. They can both go alot harder then this

        People comparing rappers to each other on songs has gottel lame

        Renegades was a good canidate for a debate because Em and Jay were both at their best, there’s summin to discuss

        Same with Verbal intercourse and songs like that

        But dudes be like “Yo, ROYCE KILLED EM NUCKKKKKKAAAA”

        lol, Nah, they both came aiight on a mixtape song, it aint that deep

      2. nobody said it was deep but wtf do you expect people to comment on when there’s more than one person on a track it’s fuckin common sense to know that people are gonna compare the people on the track
        with each other

        & I disagree that they can both go harder than this there’s no evidence to support that claim lyrically Em on this was at the same level as he was on his last 2 albums Royce however was wacker on this than he was on his last 2 albums

      3. nobody said it was deep but wtf do you expect people to comment on when there’s more than one person on a track it’s fuckin common sense to know that people are gonna compare the people on the track

    21. Anybody else find it strange that a new royce collabo appears before a new D12 collabo??

      Has he even done anything with them since his comeback??

      None the less, love this joint

    22. ”Ya see this is what happens when bad meets evil”

      so good to hear these two spiting real together again. eminem stay away from wayne and nicki you and Royce are light years ahead of them! don’t listen to the record labels man.

    23. Any true royce or em fan can tell this is actually recent shit,not some old recycled track. Love the collabo,nuff said

    24. This is going to be the new Eminem cd which is suppose to drop before xmas. and my source is a great source i talked to Paul Rosenberg Eminem’s manager earlier 2day the song is new it hasn’t been recorded persivously

    25. Nice track…THE GUITAR PLAYER FOR THIS DAY AND AGE. MANY ARTISTS USING LIVE BANDS NOW SO CHECK ME OUT ON YOUTUBE BRYANTC1000. CAN PLAY ON ANY BEAT OR FOR ANY ARTIST.
      http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=bryantc1000&aq=f
      DC MARYALND VIRGINIA ALL DAY!! I wanna be seen and heard by the right ppl ALL AROUND and get some work in collab,studio work, touring for /with artist ect.
      Get @ me leaving.carter@gmail.com ….GOING TO BE IN THE ATL! FROM 11/17/2010 TO 11/20/2010!!

      1. Your right, some people will just give a song 5 because Em is on it

        Then we have people like you that will Over-compensate and say that a decent song is “Whack”

        The song aint great, like the rating shows, but it aint Whack like your hatin ass is sayin

        3/5

    26. I cant even front wayne takin it back to the drought, maybe i’ll fuck with him like i used too, birdman should shut the fuck up

      1. Wrong page but Wayne is better than Em in my opinion anyway. And if someone gets offended, fuck em’. Move to a country where you have no 1st amendment bitch! Of course I guess you have the right to be offended too:)

      2. Wayne better than Em? Are you fucking high? Yeahh if Wayne is back on that Drought and Carter shit I’ll fuck with him but he’s not anywhere near Em’s level. I wish they could battle…Em would tear him the fuck apart and we’d see who’s king.

      3. Well, if getting killed three times by Eminem counts as a battle, it’s already been decided best of 5. Eminem 3, Lil Wayne- a big fat goose egg.

    27. long over due..sounded like em went hard and royce held back…i wanna hear a track where they both spaz…this was a little uneven IMO

    28. Eh, it’s alright. I expected more from Royce, especially since he’s been going extra hard lately, and I haven’t felt anything Em has put out recently.

    29. People who just started listening to rap think Em’s on point. Dude hasn’t been nice for 5 or 6 years now. Pop tunes.

      1. Em being whack now is just your opinion, only point I was making, dude said “If you just got into rap, thats the only way you’ll like this”

        Been into rap since the Death row era when I was 11…… I like eminem, dis-proving his Arrogant theory

        I could care less what you listen to personally tho, Just hate high and mighty internet music critics….”You only like this if……”…..STFU

    30. after hearing my beautiful dark twisted fantasy, all these other rappers just bore me to death. rap sucks except Kanye now

    31. Do you honestly expect a 5 out of 5 song every time you listen? Take it fucking easy. It’s a good song. Every song can’t be a fucking hit.

    32. This isn’t a 5 because Royce and Em finally got on another track together. This is a 5 because it’s a 5, period. Fucking haters.

    33. Wow, I’m disappointed, bars aren’t all that dope, I’d rather hear Royce without Em, as weird as that sounds.

    34. cant believe people saying this average. you guys have gotten softened by all soft hip hop music these days.

      this the 90’s shit man. spitting straight bars over hot beats.

      Em and Royce two of the greatest.

    35. whoever said recovery was a bad album is just dumb. CD was amazing..not the best Best on the album but that album was sick number 1 for 7 weeks! went double platium..go hate sumwhere else. this track is strizz they didnt go hard but they did work

    36. and is eminem really doing this again?…hes re-releasing Recovery wit bonus tracks like he did for Relapse? any1 kno if its true?

    37. Royce has gotten much better since last time they did a song and EM has lost a step. Royce could actually outperform EM on a song now. Not all the time but HE CAN. Royce is a beast now, EM is a beast compared to everyone else but not the beast HE was. He depends on a fast flow now, his content before was better and he was more witty w the words and his stories were the best. Its still a 5.

    38. honestly not a big fan of royce but this shit is hot…. eminem and him are great when they get on a track together….

    39. Yeah, Bad and Evil is (BACK)
      we bout to get into a tail of gunner that details the dungeon
      this is the pale moon illuminates the hail and thundering
      oh once again where I fail from blundering
      Shady lifted his wing than I fell from under it
      now I’m freefallin’
      my career is gone and the weed callin’
      regardless of who’s fault I was b-ballin’
      God bubble wrapped me and dropped me on top of the Earth
      Marshall double backed and got me from on top of the Hearse
      I’m alive n-gga, Justin T ain’t got nothing on me
      cause I done cried Mary J Blige rivers
      I realised that God’s with us as soon as I decided to put that bottle down and pick up my tie bridges
      the writings on the wall since n-ggas seen me at the baseball game with Shady and Jay-Z
      suddenly everybody calls
      “like I’m just checking on you dog”
      while I throw up this message on the star

      [Chorus]
      when them bottles stop poppin’
      and them dollars start stopping
      do what you did to get it and dont stop (dont stop)
      I made a promise to my momma
      I’mma out live her
      How can I be a quitter when haters dont stop (dont stop)

      I’m living proof n-gga
      its pretty safe to say
      God giveth and God taketh away
      its the Worldwide American way
      I’m living proof n-gga

      [Eminem]
      Your body language is sayin’ your confidence is gone
      well pick ya ass up lil homie, come on
      you just gone sit there and take it or make em suck it
      tell em where to shove it straight up (?)
      f-ck it,
      the last time the light kicked me in the ass
      I pulled down it’s pants and put a foot up its ass
      man what a catastrophy it’d be for me to be a bitch ass p-ssy
      and not open a can of whoop ass
      did ya piss ass whoop me will be the day I say I aint poop
      shit, the day that I dont straight shoot
      I’ll drop out of my anti-women hate group
      say I’m a sissy faggot, record it play it back and put it on straight loop
      you haters look like you ate a grape fruit
      you see me climbing back on that wagon
      got my swagga back I was dragging, hop back on it
      grab the reigns on that bastard and came back on em
      without remorse man
      man of course I’m a one trick pony
      cause I’ll be screaming on these horns till I’m hoarse!

      [Chorus]
      when them bottles stop poppin’
      and them dollars start stopping
      do what you did to get it and dont stop (dont stop)
      I made a promise to my momma
      I’mma out live her
      How can I be a quitter when haters dont stop (dont stop)

      [Royce Da 5′ 9″]
      Nah I aint fading yet
      I’d rather stay and rap
      I mighta made a deck
      I find excitement in wondering what I’ma write next
      so I dont stay in debt
      me broke
      you might aswell cut the embryo out my momma and play catch with the baby
      with AK’s with baby bayonet’s
      I’ma get rich or I’mma die trying
      thats why its either kill or be killed
      so call me suicide homocide Ryan

      [Eminem]
      Theres a bomb inside my head
      I’ma live wire, I am on the edge
      teetering on it like I tore the iron mike
      get on a nut like a tyre iron
      I have no desire stopping so why would I drop and roll
      thats how much Im flying higher(?)
      rappers are fun and I’m the time cause I’m just flying by ‘em
      man I’m laughing at ‘em the entire time, why am I up?
      cause tribulations I have triumphed bitch I’m fired up
      so it’s time for me to slit your f-cking lighter, light the sky up

      [Chorus]
      when them bottles stop poppin’
      and them dollars start stopping
      do what you did to get it and dont stop (dont stop)
      I made a promise to my momma
      I’mma out live her
      How can I be a quitter when haters dont stop (dont stop)

      I’m living proof n-gga

    40. half of you mother fuckers don’t even know what rap is anymore, too busy blinded by pop tunes and faggots like lowrider. this shit is straight grimy underground. this takes me back to the slim shady lp days

    41. god damnnnnnn im 4o seconds in now and this shit is amazinggg royce killing it and he sounds great..
      i pray shady wont fuck it up lol

    42. I liked it but I guess it wasn’t amazing to me since i compared it to how they were before. I mean c’mon Royce said on the 1st song, “Dismissal, I’m not a fair man, disgraced the race of a atheist
      Intercepting missles wit my bare hands like a patriot
      One track sliced without swords, I buried the Christ corpse
      In my past life when the Black Knight mounted the white horse
      And stay over-worked, its like the Nazis in the nations
      Collaborating, attemptin to take over the earth” And Em said, “I used to be a loudmouth, remember me? (uh-ah)
      I’m the one who burned your house down (oh)
      Well I’m out now (shit), and this time I’m comin back to blow your house up
      And I ain’t gon leave you a window to jump out of
      Give me two fat tabs and three shrooms
      And you won’t see me like fat people in steam rooms
      And when I go to hell and I’m gettin ready to leave
      I’ma put air in a bag and charge people to breathe”

      Now that was hard

    43. I am suprprised to hear Em this way, since he has been on em commercialized tracks again, this is the type of sound I wanna hear from him, I don’t worry bout royce since he’s always been down with the real sound

    44. This shit hot as fuck.Love to see them back 2gether doing music.They both killed this shit.Em’s 1 st verse was crazy and Royce’s.I think Royce edged him on the 2nd verse.Either way just hearing Em on a track with somebody as good as him is great

      1. Nah he won’t he’s D12 for life man that’s his group and his boys. It would be good if he did but it’s unlikly.

      2. That would be a perfect fit! Mother fuckers would have heart attacks listening to all those lyricists spittin back to back. There would be a permanent Uhhh face on anybody listening. Uhhhh face is the face you make when a rapper say some amazing shit.

    45. what the hell is Eminem talking about , he has no content anymore in his muzik , his flow annoys me & all he does is scream , royce killed it though

      1. how does he not have content?…recovery had content…every song hes been fetured on recently has content if u Listen!..thats the thing ppl dnt Listen to music they just listen n say the first thing that comes to their mind. i will agree he does kinda scream in this song..but ur wrong for sayin theres no content on his verse and whoever said eminem is pop now is just retarded!

    46. Is it me or is there a random voice that always butts-in during the middle of Em’s verses on these “bad meets evil” collabos? Sounds like someone is trying to sabotage the verses. Maybe Royce being scared of getting outshined on these tracks? I pulled your card, nigga!

    47. Would of been alot better without Em on the track.. replace Em with some one like Method man.. or just have Royce spit alone.. unbelievable effort from Royce here.. Em once again claiming his new pop shit is hip hop, these cross genre songs dont work out well..

      1. wat do u mean pop? eminem is not pop…wat u htink hes pop cuz he did a song wit rhianna or sumthing?..wat is ur reason for sayin hes pop? jw

      2. WTF is this dude talking about…90% of rappers themselves admit that Em is on another level and nobody wants to see him in a rap battle, even The Bauce Of Apple Sauce Rick Ross recanted his own words after Relapse dropped and yet we still have people on here thinking other rappers can do better come on man you’re living in another reality

    48. See, here’s what’s good about Royce and Em together. Em fell off a bit, but Royce has never fallen off his game lyrically, he has just been underground. Em pairing up with somebody as talented and true to hip hop as Royce, is just gonna make Em go hard every verse. They gonna just keep tryin to outdo each other and just keep makin’ nice ass songs

      1. Damn right my dude!
        i hope they keep making tracks together…
        royce has been a problem for a while now..but however i don’t agree wit u wen u said em fell off…he kind of did but very very little dats only cuz hes not on drugs n hes much older/mature so his style is gon change a lil bit..but if these 2 do keep doing songs together then yes it will be Great..they will be goin at each other tryna out do each other i agree wit u on that i hope they come out with the bad meets evil album b4 em retires that will be sick

    49. anyone that thinks em has fell off is fucking retarded. hes gonna put out another album, that would be 4 in less than 2 years. tell me who else is doing that. no ones is better than him, even listen to royces lyrics, he says em is the best numerous times

      1. ur a fucking moron, even em said he fell off with his last few albums before this last one, he has picked it back up but he had fell off mad.. ur a fucking moron go kill ur self

      2. I still like Em, but he’s fallen off. And, how exactly does pushing out numerous albums equate to being good?

      3. beater you go fuck yourself. who gives a shit if em said he fell off. everyone of his albums will be classics and go down in history. its eminem. the G.O.A.T. cant fuck with the greatest.

    50. the only reason ppl stoped liking em is because there to simple to comprehend the lyrics that dude comes up with.

      1. LMAO! Maybe the next time you try to insinuate the supposedly lacking intelligence level of anyone who doesn’t agree with your point of view while at the same time elevating your own, you should try learning grammar and how to fucking spell. Dumb-ass.

    51. SMH! DOPE! Em & Royce perfect as usual! This is beggin for 50 though! I would love to hear 50 Cent alongside Royce & Em. Steel sharpens steel so you know 50 would have to step it up!
