Words from Eminem and Havoc

“

I think that might have been one of the beats that Havoc sent for Recovery, somehow I got a CD of a couple more of his beats. I brought that one in one day, and we just started fucking with it. I think I laid the first verse. I think Royce was up in the studio or something and we started doing the record and decided to trade-off. After it was done, I thought about it working as the intro. It might have been the next day or something, coming back we decided what we were going to do with it and I went and recorded the part about, “Welcome to the album.”

Being involved with Eminem’s Recovery made it possible for me to be involved with Bad Meets Evil. I’m always constantly hitting Em with tracks. I would say I sent him that beat a while ago. Those were tracks that I sent trying to get on Relapse. I made the beat in NYC in my crib. I’m always digging for samples, weird-sounding things that people never used before. Things that might make you go, “What the fuck is that? That shit is wack,” or, “That shit is dope.” I just fuck with all ends of the spectrum when it comes to samples. I was fucking with some Gregorian chants because no one ever fucked with it. It sounds real eerie, hard, and dark, and it just stuck.
