Trivia

Interesting facts about Guilty Conscience. By Songfacts.

Featuring Dr. Dre, this song takes looks at different cases of people forced to make a good or a bad decision. Dre plays the good conscience, while Eminem (in Slim Shady mode) plays the naughty side inherent in all of us.


It was Dre who came up with the idea of a duet in the form of a lurid morality play. Eminem told NME: "The whole concept for 'Guilty Conscience' is from Animal House, where the girl has passed out and the guy has to decide what he does. He has a devil on one shoulder, an angel on the other."


At the end of this song, Eminem convinces Dr. Dre that the guy who caught his wife cheating should shoot her after all. Dre maintains his composure until the end, when he declares, "Aw, f--k it, shoot 'em both." MTV and BET both faded out the video early when they aired it, leaving the song with Dr. Dre taking the high road.
