Guilty Conscience

Guilty Conscience

Eminem (Ft. Dr. Dre)

In this classic song, Eminem and Dr. Dre play the Evil and Good conscience respectively (wait, Dre is the good one?) of three separate people who are about to commit violent or sexual crimes. Dre wins the first battle whereas Eminem wins the second. In the third case, the two agree that the bad thing to do is actually the “morally right” thing to do.

In “Angry Blonde”, Eminem explains how he came up with the idea for this song:

Dre and I were in the gym one day, and we was talkin' about song concepts and shit. Dre said that we should do a song together called “Night ‘n’ Day”, where everything he was sayin', I was sayin' the complete opposite. So I thought about it, went home that same night, and wrote it.
