	BlackChampagne -- no longer new; improvement also in question.: Bad Meets Evil Friday, September 07, 2007 Bad Meets Evil Not to turn this blog into all Prodigy mashups all the time, but I thought this one was tasty enough to warrant a post. Someone took Eminem's Superman and mashed it with Prodigy's Breathe. It's an especially inspired mesh. Here's the original Eminem song; it's an idly misogynistic mediocrity; some pleasing wordplay, but nothing remarkable. The delivery is all that elevates it above countless other "talking with my dick" hip hop songs of recent years, since Eminem raps it like a love song/lullaby, and the words and the music create a pleasing cognitive dissonance. The video adds to the discord as well, since it's playful and absurd and comical. And here's the mashup, with the identical vocals over samples from the Prodigy song. You can just let it play in another tab since the visuals are from the Neon Genesis: Evangelion anime. I enjoy them; it's some awesome robot battle porn, and the crazy eyes on the female driving the one red mech fits nicely with the song, but YMMV. As for the song itself, I think inserting the remixed version of Prodigy's song (original here) as background music vastly improves Eminem's lyrics. The vileness and misogyny of his words really stand out this way, and the tune becomes far more catchy and with the darker, harsher tone, it goes from kind of queasily joking to downright disturbing. The chorus especially works, with the synthesizers and drums perfectly emphasizing the words. I'd never had any part of the Eminem's original version stick in my head, but since I've been listening to this for the past few days, it's constantly on the tip of my tongue. But there's one thing I know, Bitches they come and go. Hopefully it goes without saying that I don't agree with or approve of the content of the lyrics. I don't think you need to, to enjoy it as music, but here again, YMMV.
