Bad Guy

Here is the song that demonstrates the the pure evil, twisted, and artistic genius of Eminem. The name of this song is Bad Guy off of this years release, The Marshall Mathers LP 2. It is the sequel to his smash hit song Stan that he preformed on stage at the Grammy's with Sir Elton John. That song was about Eminem's biggest fan named Stan that killed himself because Eminem didn't acknowledge his existence. In one part of Stan, Stan tries to get Eminem's autograph for his younger brother who shuns them, it's the younger brother in Bad Guy that's come to take revenge for his older brother.

The lyrics are amazing, the music is fitting, dark and moody. But the goose bump moment for me is when the track completely changes and it becomes a different song. The second part of Bad Guy is Em's conscience, letting him know that he's going to be weighing on his mind until Em realizes it's time to hang it all up and walk away. That until then he's going to remind him of his hypocrisy, his disdain for gays, his abuse of women, and his fear of losing his voice.

This song is pure genius to me. Read the lyrics, follow along, and see if you agree with me. And if you like this song then you should check out Rap God and Stronger Than I Was, they are as equally amazing. Enjoy!
