Here Today... Gone To Hell!

who is really the bad boy in music history? take your pick folks!

I'd say 2Pac, considering he's the one who was shot dead because of his lifestyle.
Closely followed by Eminem, because the bullet that killed his friend was meant for him, also because of his lifestyle.
As far as I know, no one's taken a shot at Axl.

It's like Axl said himself, "When you're talking about which lifestyle's the more hardcore, the one where you get show will always win".

You don't have to get shot to be a badass in music.  My vote goes to Axl Rose.

Proof got shot because he started a fight in an after hours club. It had nothing whatsoever to do with Eminem.

As far as this thread goes, I would say this:

2Pac was finally starting to really re-think his lifestyle as a whole when he was killed. I don't think he even wanted to be a "bad boy" anymore.

As far as Axls concerned, I honestly haven't really thought of him as a bad boy since about the 3rd leg of the UYI tour. And with his new demeanor, I think he also may be out of the "bad boy" business.

That leaves Em. Even though he's obviously not living the "poor life" anymore, he's not exactly running around trying to be a big celeb like alot of other rappers who came up through the streets. I can't think of anyone I know who feels Em is in anyway a softer guy now then he was when he first hit the scene.

So I guess my answer is Eminem.

2pac probably 

then Axl, well he still is a bad boy but in a cool way.

and far off in the distance Em.  If you know Eminem's history you know he wasn't so bad.  The worst thing I heard him do was pull an unloaded gun out on someone. 

But all of them have offensive lyrics, Em would win that category ( I didn't hear too many 2pac songs so I can't judge him)

easy one,  non of the above.. the baddest boy in music is Elton John

Axl bit a security guard on this tour. Eminem is a poseur bad boy. You guys should add Liam Gallagher to the mix. He fucking scrapped Italian Gangsters, had his teeth knocked out, and then kicked a cop in the stomach.

I dont consider those other two musicians, they cant sing and they cant play an instrument, talentless fucks. Bad boys in music id go with Mick jagger and keith richards, or Iggy pop, Axl rose, take ya pick.

i have to say 2PAC....then Axl.... and eminem is not even on the list...Eminem sucks...every song is about the same shit...who cares about Kim or his daughter...i know i dont

so when you came up with the idea of this thread, those three guys were the baddest guys you could come up with?
