Bad Guy and Evil twin

[Whitefox]

I dont know if its reaching, but I think that Evil twin is the real beginning of an album and Bad Guy is the end.
In Evil twin:

"And hei ho, hand me my shovel, I'm liable to dig my hole Deeper in, and it's off to H.E double hockey sticks I go"

And then..it's like a metaphorical continuation in Bad Guy:

"It’s like I'm in this dirt, digging up old hurt"

Well I dunno about if they were supposed to be reversed.

But I think the album would be better off if they were.

Too predictable.

But was Bad Guy actually about only Matthew? I mean, on the first look its about Stan's brother killing Eminem, but what If the main idea is hidden somewhere else? The hero of the old Eminem's song kills new Eminem. Eminem killed by (Eminem).

Oh shit fuck

[EminemInsider]

As we pick up where the last Mathers left off...

Yeah, that doesn't make sense as an ending.

Why is that predictable?

Opening song in a "yes I'm back to fuck shit up" and the closing track with Eminem being killed. Seems predictable, or boring.

Yeah but the sequencing with these specific tracks makes much more sense.

It's thrilling to open with "Bad Guy" but anti-climactic when nothing else reaches its heights and to then go through a musical ride where Em repents etc. and then end on a 'no apologies, fuck everybody' mentality makes no sense, and is similar to how he ended on Recovery.

"Evil Twin" addresses all the expectations of what you'd expect him to rap about on MMLP2... so it'd pretty odd to start out kind of lambasting himself and then to end on that. Especially after "Headlights".

PLUS if Bad Guy was at the end everybody would be taking "last album, because after this you're officially done" way too seriously

[EminemBase]

It makes no damn sense tbh. Why the hell would the album end with "as we pick up where the last Mathers LP left off?"

That's one line yo.

Remove that shit and the concept and drama makes more sense at the end.
