  5. Word says:

    I cringe whenever I hear Bruno Mars voice. I dont like this song. But the EP will still be dope. One bad song wont ruin the whole thing. I could barely make it through this though….I actually skimmed through it….I’ll just look up the lyrics and read the words cuz I definitely dont wanna hear this song anymore. But still looking forward to the EP.

    Lifting…..

  25. Mr. A. From Tha T says:

    I’m kinna feelin bruno now…….. DAMN

  26. RECOVERED says:

    Lmao @ people who instantly think that Em is going ‘pop’ with songs like this and is selling out. Fail. Theres ways of doing songs like this WITHOUT compromising one’s artistic integrity. And Em has done that with Lighters and LTWYL also.

    Seriously, fuck all the haters. Bunch of ignorant cocksuckers. If you gonna hate, atleast give fuckin legit reasons. Not just ‘oh he sold out’ or ‘he went pop’. Fuck outta here with bullshit.

    If you still dont believe me, listen to Em’s fuckin verse. If y’all faggots dont like it, then you have no soul. SMH.

    Peace out cunts. Lmfao. Can’t believe I wrote this much for a fuckin forum post. Haha. Stanley much?? Lol.

  27. JIMMY says:

    How much you guys think the EP will sell in the first week? I’m guessing..100-300k

  28. RECOVERED says:

    @ JIMMY

    Hard to tell. I don’t think they’ve done a very good job of letting the general population that Bad Meets Evil = EMINEM & Royce.

    I have fingers crossed for 180K+

  29. shit haters say says:

    “I used to be an Em fan before Encore” – funniest shit ever, thats when you know they bullshitting
    “Em is pop” – no matter what song he releases, yet the so called best alive Jay, Kanye & Wayne have worked with more pop artists
    “Ems fans are a joke” – because they support him and buy his album, yet the haters will download their favourite rappers album instead of buying it

  30. NY_2012 says:

    Let’s just identify, in the most simple terms, the current state of hip-hop blogging.

    People who like songs that involve longevity, lyrical depth, and a unique degree of musical production tend to support a song like this, and write coherent responses when they blog their personal opinions on a web-posted song.

    Those of you who comment something like “dis sung iz wak.. fucc dis faggy azz pop shyt” are clearly ignorant, incoherent, and can’t appreciate something with substance. You most likely will not like this song because you can only identify with a piece of musical composition that is equal to your intelligence level (little to none).

    That being said, I believe this is a good song, and it catches a majority of criticism because it features Bruno Mars. If Bruno Mars didn’t make it mainstream, and was still under the RapRadar, I am sure the comment board would be a lot more positive. I guess internet critics think their hate actually influences people; keep posting the same garbage from different names, it will not deter people from supporting Eminem and Royce.

    In Twitter terms: Haters.. #epicfail

  31. CaliSteppin says:

    Good song but i think Royce sounded outside his comfort zone.. He still spit good lyrics though

  32. YOUAJOKE says:

    CALISTEPPIN… I WOULD LOVE TO KNOW HOW YOU CAME TO THAT REVIEW

    ROYCE HAS ONE OF THE BEST FLOWS IN RAP AND SHOWED IT ON THIS SONG

  33. RECOVERED says:

    @ NY_2012 well said, sir.

  34. RECOVERED says:

    ^or her. lol

  35. the instigator says:

    the problem is not its flowerful gangsta sound, like gunz and roses to the ears. its the album the song is gonna be on. uhhhhhh “bad meets evil: hell the sequel, featuring the sweet soulful sounds of bruno marz in “lighters”".?!? c’mon now.

  36. RECOVERED says:

    ^Even the devil has a heart. Or so I hear…

  37. Toya says:

    I like this song a lot more than “I’m On Everything”.

  38. Jimmy's Dad says:

    @shit haters say
    hahaahaa CO-SIGN!!!

  39. Thank Me Hater says:

    I got news for yall. Em been “pop” since the slim shady lp. Fall back

  40. Whateva says:

    This shit is so gay. Eminem’s flow is off and is off-beat. Royce is basically sucking Eminem off in this song. Slowly selling out. Oh and Bruno Mars is on this song. Gay. Gay. Gay.

  41. Black Shady says:

    shit is dope!!! Em killed it….Royce killed it

    SHADY! June 14th we taking over

  42. This song is ight… but that “On Everything” is BANGER! lol Royce is classic! LOL

  43. K_W says:

    Nah fuck all you haters this is so dope. The more I hear the better Bad Meets Evil looks

  44. Original Will says:

    i wonder how tyler feel about that cosign now LOL

    SN:Royce bout to be getting that serious money now i know he too juiced LOL

  45. CaliSteppin says:

    @YOUAJOKE
    I agree that Royce has one of the best flows in the game and he is one of the best doing it right now but I just think this beat didn’t suit him which in turn caused him to sound out of his comfort zone.. IMO

  46. james says:

    wow. never thought i would actually see the day em did it like this – no love he fuckin killed but god damn knowing he can rap like this is just fucking awesome. song a little corny with bruno watever but ems verse is crazy dope

  47. ? says:

    How you gonna say this sh-t gay when Lil B has an album called “I Gay”. U some confused as hip hop fans? Every album needs a lead single dummys.

  48. kat says:

    This track is Horrible. HORRIBLE!
    Bruno can sing his azz off, and Em can rap his azz off but the rest is HORRIBLE!
