'Bad Meets Evil' Producers Speak On EP

MTV approached a few producers on Eminem & Royce Da 5’9″s upcoming Bad Meets Evil EP to reveal some details on the project and here’s what they had to say.

Kendrick Lamar Shakes Up The Super Bowl With Bold Drake Diss And Surprise Guests

Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl 59 halftime performance was nothing short of legendary, leaving fans buzzing with surprise cameos and bold moments that took his long-running feud with Drake to new heights. Kicking off with an unreleased song snippet and followed by “Squabble Up” from his latest album GNX, Kendrick immediately set the tone for a game-changing performance. Fans eagerly waited to see if Kendrick would play his diss track Not Like Us, especially with Drake's ongoing lawsuit against him and his label for defamation and harassment. Lamar's performance included an unexpected appearance by SZA and a quirky cameo from Serena Williams, along with Samuel L. Jackson’s comedic interruptions, all building the suspense around the Drake drama. In the middle of his performance, Kendrick turned up the heat, looking straight into the camera and directly addressing Drake with his famous lyrics, “I heard you like them young," as fans held their breath. Despite the tension, Kendrick censored himself when it came time to call Drake a "certified lover boy" and avoided saying “pedophile,” which had been widely speculated. Social media lit up with mixed reactions, with some fans mocking the performance as a "mid mashup" and others noting the intense hostility toward Drake. With the hashtag #KendrickBowl trending, it’s clear that Kendrick’s performance was a cultural moment that pushed boundaries—but has he gone too far, or is this just another chapter in hip-hop history? Only time will tell, and Drake has yet to respond.

Denaun Porter:

“The album is dope. That’s all I can tell you about it, We had one song and it turned into, ‘Yo, what do you think about getting Em on this record?’ I was happy to see it because I thought the songs that they did back in the day was dope.”

Havoc:

“A couple of months ago I got hit up and they told me that they’re using another track for some future project, So I found out along with everybody else what it was actually for, because they like to keep things top-secret.” About the beat: “You’re going down a dark hall with a whole bunch of monks just screamin’ at you.”

Bangladesh:

“I ain’t know that [Eminem] even had this beat, I didn’t even know he liked the beat. I ain’t know I was gonna be on this EP until probably like two weeks ago.”
