经典英文歌曲： 说唱天王Eminem新单 Eminem-Lighters

说唱天王Eminem新单：Eminem-Lighters¹

近日，美国说唱天王Eminem与Royce Da 5'9"组成了新的组合Bad Meets Evil。风靡西海岸westcoast的Royce Da 5'9"代表着Bad，而Eminem则代表着Evil。两位说唱天才搭配火星人Bruno Mars的深情演唱，让这首歌曲既是魔鬼，又是天使。

这两年Eminem不再只是单打独斗，先前与恩师Dr. Dre合作引起轰动，之后和Rihanna合作演唱的《Love the Way You Lie》更是在全球范围内大获成功。这次与Royce Da 5'9"、Bruno Mars想必定会成为新的话题！
