Hell: The Sequel 2011 Album

Bad Meets Evil

I like both of these artists, but they have always had a problem picking a whole disc of great beats, and particularly recently with Eminem, but also on Royce's recent album, the hooks have been lacking - that is this album in a nutshell. Once the verses begin I generally enjoy the tracks, but there are a few wack hooks, 'Echo' would be the main track that would fit into what I was just talking about - bangin' verses, but a very unlikeable chorus. Another reviewer mentions that this feels like 'Recovery', and I hear the similarities. The beats and that chick on the chorus' of 'The Reunion', 'Take From Me' and 'Echo' really add to that who was on a few tracks from Eminem's most recent album. The only really dope track here is 'Fast Lane' with its bangin' beat fitting perfectly under Royce and Em's interchangeable vocals, with a solid hook. Overall it's a solid listen, but it has too many things that I don't love about it. I wish Em would cut the yelling as well. Best Tracks: Welcome 2 Hell, Fast Lane, Above the Law, Living Proof.
