Hip Hop's Most Evil - Halloween is approaching. As a nod to the ghosts and goblins, read on for some of the most evil characters depicted in hip hop songs. They range from Eminem's deranged fan to Scarface's suicidal hustler.— Michael Harris (@IceBlueVa)(Photos from Left: Aftermath/Interscope Records, Leonardo Munoz/EPA/Corbis, Rap-a-Lot Records)
Eminem – "Stan" - Eminem created a psychopath with his 1999 hit "Stan." The fictional fan was so obsessed with Slim Shady that he ended his own life and that of his pregnant girlfriend.(Photos from Left: Aftermath/Interscope Records, Jeff Kravitz/FilmMagic for YouTube)
DMX – "Damien" - DMX rhymed multiple times about a devil named "Damien," to whom he sold his soul for the riches of hip hop. X lyrically caught a few bodies at Damien's urging, even murdering his man Shawn in his "be careful what you ask for" tales. (Photo: Frank Micelotta/ImageDirect)Bushwick Bill - Bushwick Bill, one third of legendary Houston group the Geto Boys, talks smack on the intro and outro to "Stranded on Death Row." After making headlines for the wrong reasons in 2010, when an arrest for drug possession almost led to his deportation to Jamaica, Bill seems to be back on the right track — he reunited with his former band mates on stage for the first time in years at the Gathering of the Juggalos festival earlier this year. The trio is planning more gigs for later this year and 2013.   (Photo: Matthew Simmons/Getty Images)
