Fans of smooth artists like Mateo and Sade will enjoy James Blake, and fans of more electronic bands like Metric and Shiny Toy Guns will be able to appreciate this album. Similar in direction to Kanye West's 808s & Heartbreak project, it's a great album to just press play and fall asleep to.
To the reviewer who said his singing was flat, Blake used various vocal effects throughout the album, often harmonizing and layering vocals on other vocals, if he was flat at any point on the album I'd like to know when.
GREAT ALBUM, check him out on youtube and decide for yourself if you're considering purchasing this cd, you will not be disappointed.
What's great about it: Everything. Kid's got crazy potential.
Bad Meets Evil is Eminem paired with Royce Da 5'9", a fellow Detroit MC who's among an elite handful of rappers that can really surpass Eminem's rapping prowess. The two have a musical history together going back before Em got picked up by Dr. Dre & Aftermath.
The title of the EP is a direct reference to a previous Eminem and Royce collaboration, "Bad Meets Evil" on The Slim Shady LP where they end the song by saying "See you in Hell for the sequel, Bad meets evil.
They are best known for collaborating on a self-titled song that appeared on Eminem's major-label debut album The Slim Shady LP in 1999 and their early association with Dr. Dre and his label Aftermath Entertainment. Bad Meets Evil split up in early 2000s, after Royce fell out with Eminem's group, D12. They have since reunited and are planning to release their EP Hell: The Sequel on June 14, 2011.
What's great about it: Em & Royce's collaborative dynamic, lyrics and flow, beats, features
What's not so great: that it took 12 years to come out -__-
