’11 Best Albums: #5 Bad Meets Evil Hell: The Sequel

If lyricism made a resurgence last year, much of the credit can go to Bad Meets Evil and their EP, Hell: The Sequel. Havoc’s haunting crackle sets the tone with “Welcome 2 Hell”. “Fast Lane” ups the ante with Royce and Em battling for lyrical supremacy. Em keeps it G on “Above The Law”, (“I’m trying to stay on fire, so you know if I hate fuckin’ water sprinklers I don’t love the hoes”) with Royce following suit, (“Baby I’m lawless, you couldn’t burn me if you threw acid on me”). The duo lighten the mood on “Everything” and illuminate spirits with “Lighters”. Come to think about it, Hell might not be such a bad place after all.

    Take Care will be #2

  7. Uh-oh says:

    Anyone else expecting YN to place WTT at #1? No way he will sleep right at night unless it’s #1.

  8. The Truth says:

    Camp! Camp! Camp! Camp! Camp! Camp! Camp! Camp! Camp! Camp! Camp! Camp! Camp! Camp! Camp!

  9. The Guy says:

    FUCK TAKE CARE FUCK DRAKE FUCK YMCMB FUCK HIPSTERS

  10. Hip-Hop Fiend says:

    I didn’t think they would put a EP but I’m cool with it at 5. Now put Childish Gambino Camp.

  11. Awesome says:

    Lyrically, it’s good. It’s an EP after all. They didn’t they were going to release an album or EP. After all, it doesn’t really have a theme. They just named it hell the sequel because eminem said that back in 1999 on their first song, I belive if they actually put out an actual Bad Meets Evil album, it will completely better.

  12. Fireman says:

    This list fucking sucks damn. Wheres Goblin and Camp?

  13. That Guy says:

    I like this a lot, but…..THIS IS AN EP! Stick to your criteria RR. god damn.

  14. Swiss163 says:

    Keep it coming …………. B. Dot ……. Keep it coming……… You going to learn today -_-

  15. Word says:

    Please don’t put Self Made on this last! I guess this is cool but I’m still pissed y’all got Cole and Kendrick under this. But hey, y’all gotta do what y’all do. Next year let’s see individual lists from each blogger rather than a universal one. OR, just add y’all individual best album list after this one.

  16. Sc_R says:

    I hear all the arguments but WTT should be #1… that’s some once every generation type shit that 2 of biggest ppl in music period get together to do an album

  17. t says:

    all those line’s are corny as fuck
    “I’m trying to stay on fire, so you know if I hate fucking water sprinklers I don’t love the hoes”

    and royce’s line isnt even good enough to called corny

    “Baby I’m lawless, you couldn’t burn me if you threw acid on me”

    honestly?

  18. Anon DCPL says:

    Section.80
    Greatest Story Never Told
    WTT
    Cole World
    Radioactive

    best albums of the year hands down.

  19. yo says:

    Everyone is forgetting about undun. That definitely deserves a spot on the list. IMO number one(since section 80 was given number 6…)

  20. t says:

  21. Shady_Site says:

    this album had the HARDEST FLOWS litterally HARD that ive hear in years and i fucking love above the law that shit is nasty

  22. M.T says:

    This Ep was good but no replay value for me. Best track was “Fast Lane”.

  23. Drew Who says:
