Bad Meets Evil - Topic

Bad Meets Evil is an American hip hop super duo composed of Detroit-based rappers Royce da 5′9″ and Eminem. Formed in 1997, the duo's name comes from the namesake song from Eminem's The Slim Shady LP, which featured Royce da 5'9". They debuted the same year with the release of the double single, "Nuttin' to Do" and "Scary Movies", the latter of which for the soundtrack to the 2000 horror comedy parody film Scary Movie. A decade later, the duo reunited to release an extended play to critical and commercial success.
The duo broke up after a feud between Royce and the members of Eminem's group D12. The feud ended when Proof, a D12 member and a mutually close affiliate of both rappers, was killed in April 2006. After Royce's supergroup Slaughterhouse signed to Eminem's Shady Records, a reunion of Bad Meets Evil followed with the EP Hell: The Sequel, which reached number one on the U.S. Billboard 200 and was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America. The EP's lead single, "Fast Lane" peaked at number thirty-two on the Billboard Hot 100, while its second single, "Lighters", peaked at number four on the same chart.
