Hi! Which one do you use to describe a very bad person (evil). Thanks!

In correct English you should use the superlative form "the worst" to say that this person is the worst of all the people you know.

"the baddest" is slang which actually means "the best at something" or "the toughest". in this sense "the baddest" is used as a compliment or a positive thing.

Could you provide a source of your assumptions about the expression the baddest?
