My Favorite Raps on Bad Meets Evil Part 1. “Welcome to Hell”
A Series dedicated to the new release “Bad Meets Evil” - the Eminem album I have been waiting for for 10 years. (song can be streamed below)
Eminem - :15
there’s a switch I flip / emotions cut off / so cold that I froze my but off / and this ain’t even the tip of the iceberg yet / its like squirting a squirt gun in the ocean / fuck off
A: good start, never heard a squirt gun in the ocean metaphor
Eminem - :36
thunder and lightning, rain, hail, sleet / with a tornado’s the kind of brainstorm I get / so when the wind start’s blowing in / shit / talking about going in? / going in-sane’s more like it
A: play with “brainstorm” + real storm… a really intense weather system #cool
Royce - 1:43
this gotta be no fair / this is like winning the lottery, oh yeah / who you know hotter there gotta be no pair / shotty that I got a lobotomy your hair
A: not sure about the last line… just really good rapid fire syllables
Eminem - 2:25
…Bruce Willis on his death bed last breath with an infection / MY GOD // what I mean is / David Carradine / jerkin his pe-nis / in front of his Tri-POD / choking his own neck / what part you don’t get? // I’m sayin I’mma DIE HARD!
A: links bruce willis to death by auto asphyxiation, to the end line DIE - HARD which simultaneously means what is implied by the movie title “Die Hard” (as in tough to kill) and having an erection when dieing
