Yet despite having once been a trusted writer for back in the day, Nickle has yet to properly bless a Dre banger. Going even further than that, it feels like an entire album from Bad Meets Evil would be most welcome. Look no further than their latest batch of collaborations as a sample size.
Which other duo is capable of summoning the legendary DJ Premier and Dr. Dre in one properly-arranged conference call? By Mitch Findlay. Mitch Findlay findlaymitch. With Eminem and Royce Da 5'9" at the top of their game right now, it feels like the perfect time for a new album from Bad Meets Evil. I can draw inspiration from him. You know those dudes love Relapse.
Like, love it. On some, one of their favorite albums ever. No, not that some people actually liked it! Speaking of which, congrats on all the success with Recovery. E: [ Through closed door ] What could possibly be more fun then us talking about ourselves? Royce, can you think of anything? While Eminem may be one of the best selling rappers ever, longtime Slim Shady fans are well aware of his classic underground collaborations with Nickel Nine.
However, few know how it all came to be. He was opening up for Usher at the Palladium. He was kind of coming up on the scene.
So I was very aware of who he was. I had been listening to it. It was good that I got to kick an acapella during that show so he could actually hear me, because otherwise we might not have linked up.
Seuss, but Em came up with the whole concept [for Bad Meets Evil]. But you already had the hook when I got to the studio. I remember only having to lay verses. We stuck to that concept and kept most of the rhymes, but I think the beat changed because there was a sample in the original beat. So we had to rework the beat. We changed up a couple things on it [as far as lyrics]. Just a few lines. Because this might not go so well.
D12—we were a group We had not lost touch, but kind of had Well, I went to L. I just picked up to go record the album, and it almost felt like I just picked up and left. We were both being babies. You guys need to work that shit out. Let me bring him with me. I had the idea to use that imagery as the cover of the records.
I got a decent response. It sold a little bit. Eminem was incredibly exciting, really funny, entertaining, and clever. Basically just a rapper of the scale that we had never heard before. I immediately fell in love with it. I was just blown away by both of them. I called the number on the tape. I wrote you a letter in the first year of The Source and you guys published it!
We had a lot of similar tastes in music. At the time, Eminem was signed to Interscope, but his record had not been released yet, so it was still in that limbo. I know you have this deal, is there any way we can work together? You want to put out an independent record? The whole thing sorta happened on vinyl on an independent label underneath the radar. I would say, probably six weeks [after my initial conversation with Paul Rosenberg, this went down. At that time, before he had really blown up, he was so hungry, that he would just rap all the time.
It was all kind of built up inside of him at that time. It was a very entertaining and interesting time to be around to witness all that. There was never a contract or anything. There may have been a contract for the single deal, but really between us, it was a handshake.
We all knew Eminem was going to blow up. Royce, meanwhile, ended up becoming an artist that I worked with throughout his first album. I think we came up with it together. Music is old to me real quick. Same way with Em. We each came up with one line for the hook. How did it go? You want to make a scary movie? And whatever he said, he thought of. Whatever sounded more bad, I said. Whatever sounded more evil, he said.
It was a sample of an orchestra in It had a little bit more of a structured chorus to it so he thought that was the record that people might gravitate more towards. He went straight to Niketown and started spending money. I still came out on a couple shows, but he was doing the hype-manning. We also did a couple records for my album together. I remember now.
