Hey guys so I talk over the song because when I don’t RUclips tends to b10ck my videos. That is why I comment so much but I assure you my reaction is real & authentic! Thank you for understanding👍
He has the Guinness world record for 1,560 words in 6mins. An average of 4.28 words per second for this song! Then on his song Godzilla in the 3rd verse he raps 225 words in 30 secs averaging 7.5 words per second!
Garbage. Use that pause. Talk, for a few seconds, LIKE EVERY REACTOR, then unpause, maybe backtrack 5 seconds. But talking OVER BARS? How can u react properly? U did not LISTEN.
You wrote "who is he?" On a picture of Eminem... You're an adult from America. And you're claiming to not know who Eminem is... This absolutely guaranteed, NOT a genuine reaction.
Only your opinion could answer that from your own perspective, because it would seem you're in the minority with that view, given that Em is the best selling rap/hip-hop artist of all time, with over 220 million albums sold in the U.S. alone: the next closest is Drake, with 170 million albums sold. 'Sides, I didn't say he'd been a continuous raging inferno, but there's also no question that he's done nothing but improve since he first hit the scene. His earliest stuff was wacky and shocking, even unique, but when you compare the depths of the lyricism and meaning in tracks like Rap God, Godzilla, and Killshot (just to name a few examples) to his earliest work... well, there just /isn't/ any comparison.
@@IamKingReacts well he was definately hooked up like the matrix getting all the comic books, cds, news, etc scanned and being uploading to his brain, so you got that
@@RareHarmony reading comprehension is fundamental. The fact he’s #1 in rap should have been enough to clue you in that the 2nd stat includes other genres 🤦🏻♀️
You are correct about how no one else can get away with homophobic lyrics these days but Eminem is the exception to the rule. He explained back in the early 2000’s that the rap community was homophobic and ultimately he did a performance with Elton John to prove he wasn’t homophobic himself.
Indeed, he and Elton stayed good friends. Their live version of Stan is just beautiful. And fun fact: when Elton and his husband got married, Em sent him an expensive buttplug as a joking wedding gift and it made Elton laugh big time (you can find an interview about it online)
@@ryusukeminami52 He also took part in that amazing 2009 prank at the MTV Movie Awards, where Sacha Baron Cohen, in character as Brüno, flew in on wires wearing a white jockstrap and angel wings, the equipment "malfunctioned," and he ended up getting lowered onto Em with his buttcrack and crotch right in his face, and Em pretended to furiously storm out with his crew. So brilliant. I mean, Cohen isn't gay, but "Brüno" definitely is, and a lot of viewers thought it was real, and made fools of themselves online, going "See! He's a homophobe!" Cohen is a genius, and so is Em.
Idkh he does it, but Eminem is the ONLY one who can use that language even today! Maybe it's bc we ALL recognize he's a lyrical genius who's spitting straight🔥, not trying 2offend but willing 2risk using "bad words" 2gift us w utter perfection. Maybe it's also low-key commentary on how words r only words. DON'T give a rude idiot's mouth sounds power.😊✌♥️🌎
Indeed!! Rap music today is about drinking lean and chill vibes and showing off your fake diamonds and crap!! Real rap like Eminem does isn't about that.... it's about playing with words! And he is the master!! He is a lyrical genius!! 😂 You think you can rap fast? He does it faster!! You think you have bars? Eminem drops a 10 ton bar right on your head!😂 And he is the best at destroying rappers careers!! Some rappers like The Game got destroyed and till this day they still try to crawl back up from that. But it doesn't work like that.. Once Eminem got you in the scope your career is dead.. no coming back from it! No matter how hard you try!!
That real fast part was Eminem paying homage to an all girl rap group called JJ Fad. Specifically their 1988 song called Supersonic that has a very fast verse rapped in the same cadence by Baby-D. Funny enough Supersonic was produced by Dre Arabian Prince and DJ Yella around the same timde NWA was starting.
The whole song beginning to end was full of old school hip hop and 80s/90s references. Even the intro with the suit and sunglasses is a reference to max headroom. Dude hijacked a chicago cable channel dressed like that.
How have you only heard one song of the greatest rapper of all time🤦♂️ if you wanna build your channel up even more do a lot more Eminem reactions because people like looking at reactors watching Eminem songs, believe me bro honestly.
EM is a legend, yall youngsters live in a bubble that keeps yall from knowing older stuff. when i was growing up, it was all about where things started, yall just dont care about where anything came from, just what's happening now. before the social media, kids used to want to know where things came from. and researched the past, youngsters these days just dont do that.
Lots of 'youngsters' are invested in older things. Take me, for example. Not all of us are trapped within a technological bubble, many of us take interest in the older things.
@@AstroPhoenix24 oh i know there are exceptions out there, but trust me, back in the day, the majority knew the old stuff, everybody listened to music from all the past generations, now a days, it's the select few that care to do so. it is all just because of tech. we had bought albums of artists we never heard of just because the art looked cool, nothing other than MTV or magazines to maybe hear of an artist before buying an album. it was just different times, that forced more people to branch out.
@@corrob Yeah, it's disappointing. My pop tells me how good the 80s and 90s were and honestly I believe him. If I had a choice, I'd go back before the 2000s and forget all this tech addiction crap.
i'm a 90's kid and i consider em as my rap goat. hands down nobody does what he does. Can't forget the first time i watch Stan with Dido on MTV and just instantly became a fan.
Eminem is definitely worth the deep dive on. Yes he was controversial, given the things you said in the vid about him "not allowed to say that these days", you might find him a bit hot and too true for your taste, but he always thought for himself and stayed true despite people trying to force their opinions on him (and the rest of the world), and didn't let the cancel culture fad stomp him out. Although his alter-ego Slim Shady was the most potent and polar part of his music (even gimmicky at times), he always had a message. Eminem started out very quickly as one of the best rappers (not just white, but of all, because we also don't see color) when he came out. He has only been getting better over the last couple decades, and has been to date the top rapper in the world. It's debatable opinion wise, but not if you're fact based. No one can touch him. Some of those names you mentioned he has said were inspirations for him. I was a Beasty Boy's fan since DJ Jazzy Jeff and The Fresh Prince days, way before Will Smith became a movie star. Yeah ik, that dates me a bit.
Wow, this is a great introduction to Eminem. I love how amazed you were.lol I’m 45 and from Michigan, so I’ve known about Em for damn near 30 years.lol He’s a beast.
Rakim is internationally known when he be on the mic. Eminem raps in several different styles, hits the beats differently, switches from rapping vowels to rapping on the consonants. Basically rapping 5-6 styles and cadence’s, and pretty well dies all of them better than the rapper’s who do those styles. Rap God.
That part where he goes really fast he does 157 words in 16 seconds. It’s crazy. You have to react more to him. He is one of the greatest rappers of all time. He is the highest selling rapper in history.
The computer generated Eminem is actually a reference to a British show called Max Headroom from the 70's and 80's. Back then there was no CGI so the lead actor assumed the role of a computer generated A.I. and they used practical effects to make him seem like a computer program. He was played by Matt Frewer,, who would later play the role of Taggert in the hit sci-fi T.V. show Eureka.
@@christinacann1791 Debuted in a British, made for TV movie called Max Headroom: 20 Minutes Into The Future, which aired on British television April 4th 1985, And the TV show aired, again on British television, on April 6th of 1985. It also won the BAFTA (British Academy of Film and Television Arts) for graphics, even though the show used no computer generated art. The only thing I got wrong was that it started in the late 70's. I'll admit to that one. But the movie and the show both aired on British TV first.
You keep saying that he cant say the stuff he says these days, but the thing is there never was a time he could say it. Eminem has been crossing the line since he started his career, and not like i got my toe on the line, more like the line is about 15 miles behind him. His raps have been highly offensive and controversial since he started thats part of the reason we bought the albums in the first place because we knew our parents would never allow us to get them.
You're commenting on how he can't say these things anymore while he's also rapping and saying "see if I get away with it now" 😂😂 He referenced one of many controversial lyrics in that verse and doubled down. He won't bow. 🙌 Fun watching your video!
1. “Back at it like crack addicts” had me laughing for like five fucking minutes. That’s so good. 2. Thank you for opening up about your childhood experience and how that had an impact on the music you felt you were able to access. That takes a lot of courage. 3. Em has been saying what he wants since the 90s. Canada tried to keep him out of their country. But he’s also making commentary on where hip hop was at the time. As a 33 year old Millennial, your reaction was adorable and brought me so much joy. Keep it up. Your personality is pure gold.
There are so many dope songs of his you got to check out. This song is more of a flex but his other songs when he's just spitting straight facts or storytelling are so dope. Till I Collapse, Sing for the Moment, Mockingbird, White America, Stan, and The Way I Am are some great ones to check out. Also, a side note is to never do censored versions on his songs. Like ever. It ruins them
Ahhhh yes… back when speech was free. Young buck, you just met the GOAT. We all may have our favorites but all-around, no one even thinks about his friend thinking about touching him.
I know you think you are hearing something hard but Slim aint even breaking a sweat. Listen to The Eminem Show. Thats arguably his best album. Its my fav at least.
Em is literally a Genius - totally off the scale!🔥Lyrically, no-one from any genre can match his immense vocabulary - he's a walking dictionary and thesaurus. His rhyming schemes, flow, subject matter, his storytelling abilities, he's so autobiographical with his material not to mention his rapping skills. He is an enigma - a labyrinth of puzzles within a riddle - that's why he's THEE GOAT!🐐 Yet he remains humble, constantly paying homage to his peers - very few Artists do that. The less capable rappers who keep trying to undermine him are simply haters! They should praise him for his accomplishments and contribution to elevate rap instead of tryin to bring him down. He's the undisputed #RapGod and a MASTER of his craft! 👏 Also Eminem cannot be 'cancelled' - he doesn't give AF - he won't censor himself🤣 Check out 'Stan' (the uncensored video - you'll find his uncensored videos at "EminemExplicit"), 'Lose Yourself' (won an Oscar!), 'Not Afraid'', 'Cleanin Out My Closet', 'Godzilla' (the official video please - it's amazing!), 'I Need A Doctor' with Dre, 'Spacebound', 'Sing For The Moment', 'The Way I Am', 'Cold Wind Blows' *AND PLEASE REACT to 'Darkness' - IMO it's his MASTERPIECE - just WOW* More Em PLEASE - I'm here for it! 👏 PS The 'character' he plays on the TV screen is based on Max Headroom - from decades ago - google it👍
How can you claim to like rap music but not know that Eminem is the G.O.A.T?? No one has ever come close to him, he’s always been in a league of his own. Eminem has sold more records than any other rapper ever!!!
Your generation missed so much. The thing is, you will never understand a fraction of the references he makes because of the time period. It makes it 1000X better to know the history. Yet, it's still fire to you. That's how good it is!
It's freaking awesome to see these youngins taking an interest in the classics. But. Yeah. There are so many references they just won't get. And I know sometimes I'm like damn I'm old. But it was amazing to grow up back then. It was way better than what these kid have to deal with.
"I'm on my pharoahe monch grind"........ that's a deep reference to someone YOU have never heard of, but he is your favorite rapper's favorite rapper. hahaha I LOVE seeing kids find the people that influenced their favorite rapper. Look up MF Doom and Aesop Rock. 2 dudes that play with word and rhyme play and made your favorite rapper go "oh shit"
eminem is THAT guy. When were talking in the rapping skill game. like pure speed and wordsmithing. There were people that contested him over the years but I'd bet anything Em is the only one out of that whole bunch your generation has ever even heard of. Which honestly is kinda a shame. Check out old school bone thugs or something lol
I can't even comment because I could give a doctoral program explaining his videos like this. Between his words and the music and the video. Just the part you thought was Agent Smith is but it's also a character from the 80s,Max Headroom, that has some fascinating history behind it, is easter egged in pop geek culture today is at least a 2 semester course. And I'm not bragging, theres a lot of people on here that could, I'm saying it to point out how brilliant he is, how deep and well thought out his stuff is
Old man Gen X here, it goes back before the Matrix even. Google Max Headroom. But that cord in the back of his head does look Matrix-like. Loved your reaction BTW. Cool to see young people take interest in older artists.
He still holds the world record for the amount of words used in a rap track. The song entered the 2015 edition of the Guinness Book of World Records in which Eminem is commended for the most words in a hit single, "Rap God", totalling 1,560 words in 6 minutes, 3 seconds.
The cosplay blonde/sunglasses/suit and multi-colored geometric laser beam background -- that's Max Headroom. He was a fictional character from the late 80's; "the first computer-generated TV presenter".
He switches through so many styles, totally seamlessly in this song. At 9:38 he's giving respect to JJ Fad - Supersonic. Give that a listen, you'll like this part of this song even more.
Hey man being late to the game on good artists is fine. Nothing wrong with that. I was born in 1986 and I was late to a lot of things too. You’re good man, when you discover something you like in your own time you just join a family that’s got longstanding members and new members. You’re accepted at any point is my view on shit.
The most insane thing I have ever heard someone reacting to rap music say is, 'Since when was Eminem this nice?' Eminem is the best rapper to ever do it. It's statistically and technically a fact. He is the best EVER and he has been remarkably consistent. He had a dip during his drug addiction, but other than that he is consistently incredible.
You asked "who is he dissin'"? He's at his best when someone tries to come after him, then he unleashes. He's at his best when he has something to say, that's the only reason he's not as huge now as he was 25 years ago. He is what hip hop needs.
Kill You, I'm Back, Criminal, Soldier, Say Goodbye to Hollywood, Till I Collapse, My Dad's Gone Crazy, Mockingbird, 3 AM, these songs will change you. His Westwood freestyles are fire too.
He is not only the best rapper in the world.. and the most unique... but also the fastest rapper in the world. He is holding the world record for spitting out 7.5 words a second!! And I listen to Em since the 90's. He really is the biggest rapper of all time. People don't see it today... but if you could go back 20/25 years you would see for yourself how big he really is!! Yes.. he was better back then compared to today. But that's also because he has grown up. But if people piss him off today you know what happens.. he still has it... Look what he has done to MGK.... went from rapper to a pink dressed pop punk Barbie!!😂😂😂
The fast part of this song is an homage to J.J. Fad, a female rap group. Not only does he talk about them before jumping into that fast-flow, but you can see a still shot from their "Supersonic" video on one of the screens in this video. The cadence, speed, and some of the syllables are direct copies of part of "Supersonic", but then Eminem gets crazy lyrical beyond the original. If you listen to the original, Eminem is only going slightly faster, but what he's spitting is much more complex and lyrically dense. Here's the original J.J. Fad "Supersonic" video, which was amazing when it first came out: ruclips.net/video/Ti1bFMBd6V4/видео.htmlsi=s2E4iAc-YBgBSepF
Ur thruth about not knowing these artists is why I luv seeing the reactions videos of parents doing reactions with their kids young adults making sure they know the ones that came b4 cuz thats important to know the past to see the future
He spits straight 🔥🔥🔥🔥! It's not jst his rhymes but the brilliantly unusual way he groups those lyrics, his rapid-fire cadence, word choice, etc. He's *_The GOAT_* & CAN'T be matched!✌♥️🌎
Em respects those who came before him and inspired him. Lil Wayne said don't spit with Em you'll lose in an interview on YT . That's why if you go for Em you're done
Just started the video, but I’m excited to follow your journey - no doubt you’ll be hooked after one song (especially this)! Also, PLEASE ignore anyone giving you a hard time just because you’re new to Em’s catalogue. Young fans (presumably) like you keep the music alive!
Man learning a Em verse is like going to school! Facts! Look into every word. Back pack rap, Rakim, Sébastien Bach, Busta.... all the OG'S... I think was a drop a Kanye song a few months or a year earlier. Em is almost a discipline of learning to get it all. It's all so much for the brain!
Yo, I'm Greek too! Em is well known and respected till this day. He is a lyrical phenomenon( not mentioning his flows and speed...) ,he is one of your hh goats. It's sad that his talent still isn't appreciated in his country. By the way ,west side rules!!
I can’t get too upset, because I myself was born in 2000, but I picked up Slim very early on in my childhood. He got me through some tough times, and his 90’s raps were perfect. As to your question about Ray J and Fab, that was a real event. Fab commented about Ray at a party hosted by Mayweather, which later got around back to Ray and it created a level of beef worthy of 24/7 coverage on TMZ. To most of the world, it was just a little scuffle in the 90210, to to the rap community, it was some actual shit, because these guys came up in the same era and these guys were ready to pull pieces they got that pissed off. Seriously. Me and a few buddies of mine love going back and watching old TMZ runs and catch all that culture drama that shaped the community and the artists it surrounded.
Hey guys so I talk over the song because when I don’t RUclips tends to b10ck my videos. That is why I comment so much but I assure you my reaction is real & authentic! Thank you for understanding👍
He has the Guinness world record for 1,560 words in 6mins. An average of 4.28 words per second for this song!

The computer generated Eminem is actually a reference to a British show called Max Headroom from the 70's and 80's. Back then there was no CGI so the lead actor assumed the role of a computer generated A.I. and they used practical effects to make him seem like a computer program. He was played by Matt Frewer,, who would later play the role of Taggert in the hit sci-fi T.V. show Eureka.
I probably knew him better as the next door neighbor in Honey I Shrunk the Kids, and he played the horseman of Pestilence on Supernatural.
@@vanmatrix Holy hell I completely forgot about both of those lol
American show 1985
@@christinacann1791 Debuted in a British, made for TV movie called Max Headroom: 20 Minutes Into The Future, which aired on British television April 4th 1985, And the TV show aired, again on British television, on April 6th of 1985. It also won the BAFTA (British Academy of Film and Television Arts) for graphics, even though the show used no computer generated art. The only thing I got wrong was that it started in the late 70's. I'll admit to that one. But the movie and the show both aired on British TV first.
@@christinacann1791incorrect, Google is your friend
You keep saying that he cant say the stuff he says these days, but the thing is there never was a time he could say it. Eminem has been crossing the line since he started his career, and not like i got my toe on the line, more like the line is about 15 miles behind him. His raps have been highly offensive and controversial since he started thats part of the reason we bought the albums in the first place because we knew our parents would never allow us to get them.
This is SO important to really understanding Eminem, I think about it every time I hear someone say "you couldn't say that now!"
Sir. You are in for a journey. EMINEM is the GOAT.
Em was this good since 96
bro he was good since he was born
You're commenting on how he can't say these things anymore while he's also rapping and saying "see if I get away with it now" 😂😂 He referenced one of many controversial lyrics in that verse and doubled down. He won't bow. 🙌 Fun watching your video!
When are you all gonna understand, Eminem cannot be canceled!
Who is he ? The most selling hip hop artitst ever
Eminem's acting like Max headroom
Oh wow.... I remember Max Headroom. He was great
For those 80s kids
Eminem is one of the biggest musicians of all time. He's the highest selling hip hop artist. He's been dominating rap since the late 90s.
Eminem is the Goat🙌 He's unmatched. Technical skills are exceptional.
Since always. He is the G.O.A.T. .
1. “Back at it like crack addicts” had me laughing for like five fucking minutes. That’s so good.
2. Thank you for opening up about your childhood experience and how that had an impact on the music you felt you were able to access. That takes a lot of courage.
3. Em has been saying what he wants since the 90s. Canada tried to keep him out of their country.
But he’s also making commentary on where hip hop was at the time.
As a 33 year old Millennial, your reaction was adorable and brought me so much joy.
Keep it up. Your personality is pure gold.
There are so many dope songs of his you got to check out. This song is more of a flex but his other songs when he's just spitting straight facts or storytelling are so dope. Till I Collapse, Sing for the Moment, Mockingbird, White America, Stan, and The Way I Am are some great ones to check out. Also, a side note is to never do censored versions on his songs. Like ever. It ruins them
Ahhhh yes… back when speech was free.
Young buck, you just met the GOAT. We all may have our favorites but all-around, no one even thinks about his friend thinking about touching him.
You should do his entire discography in order song by song I promise you’ll blow up
I know you think you are hearing something hard but Slim aint even breaking a sweat. Listen to The Eminem Show. Thats arguably his best album. Its my fav at least.
Since when has em been this fire. My brain auto fired SINCE ALWAYS
Bro needs to see Godzilla by Eminem
😂😂😂 you say he can’t say stuff like this now but he don’t care he been doing it and will keep doing it
Em is literally a Genius - totally off the scale!🔥Lyrically, no-one from any genre can match his immense vocabulary - he's a walking dictionary and thesaurus. His rhyming schemes, flow, subject matter, his storytelling abilities, he's so autobiographical with his material not to mention his rapping skills. He is an enigma - a labyrinth of puzzles within a riddle - that's why he's THEE GOAT!🐐
Yet he remains humble, constantly paying homage to his peers - very few Artists do that. The less capable rappers who keep trying to undermine him are simply haters! They should praise him for his accomplishments and contribution to elevate rap instead of tryin to bring him down. He's the undisputed #RapGod and a MASTER of his craft! 👏
Also Eminem cannot be 'cancelled' - he doesn't give AF - he won't censor himself🤣
Check out 'Stan' (the uncensored video - you'll find his uncensored videos at "EminemExplicit"), 'Lose Yourself' (won an Oscar!), 'Not Afraid'', 'Cleanin Out My Closet', 'Godzilla' (the official video please - it's amazing!), 'I Need A Doctor' with Dre, 'Spacebound', 'Sing For The Moment', 'The Way I Am', 'Cold Wind Blows'
*AND PLEASE REACT to 'Darkness' - IMO it's his MASTERPIECE - just WOW*
More Em PLEASE - I'm here for it! 👏
PS The 'character' he plays on the TV screen is based on Max Headroom - from decades ago - google it👍
How can you claim to like rap music but not know that Eminem is the G.O.A.T?? No one has ever come close to him, he’s always been in a league of his own.
Eminem has sold more records than any other rapper ever!!!
Your generation missed so much. The thing is, you will never understand a fraction of the references he makes because of the time period. It makes it 1000X better to know the history. Yet, it's still fire to you. That's how good it is!
It's freaking awesome to see these youngins taking an interest in the classics. But. Yeah. There are so many references they just won't get. And I know sometimes I'm like damn I'm old. But it was amazing to grow up back then. It was way better than what these kid have to deal with.
12:42 GORILLAZ is also a rap group that doesnt get much recognition either but were FIRE back in the day!
Yes
Speedom. That's the whole comment bro. Speedom. Asap.
"I'm on my pharoahe monch grind"........ that's a deep reference to someone YOU have never heard of, but he is your favorite rapper's favorite rapper. hahaha I LOVE seeing kids find the people that influenced their favorite rapper. Look up MF Doom and Aesop Rock. 2 dudes that play with word and rhyme play and made your favorite rapper go "oh shit"
Oh str8 up...Em is a GOAT. He's always been that good!
eminem is THAT guy. When were talking in the rapping skill game. like pure speed and wordsmithing. There were people that contested him over the years but I'd bet anything Em is the only one out of that whole bunch your generation has ever even heard of. Which honestly is kinda a shame. Check out old school bone thugs or something lol
I can't even comment because I could give a doctoral program explaining his videos like this. Between his words and the music and the video. Just the part you thought was Agent Smith is but it's also a character from the 80s,Max Headroom, that has some fascinating history behind it, is easter egged in pop geek culture today is at least a 2 semester course. And I'm not bragging, theres a lot of people on here that could, I'm saying it to point out how brilliant he is, how deep and well thought out his stuff is
Old man Gen X here, it goes back before the Matrix even. Google Max Headroom. But that cord in the back of his head does look Matrix-like. Loved your reaction BTW. Cool to see young people take interest in older artists.
You young. 90s 😂
Em and 2pac GOATS.
This is Eminem. Always. And he is no color, he's the GOAT
I’m glad the younger generation is starting to realize Em is the goat…btw Rap God was written in 6 minutes, when we freestyled it.
Em has been hard since 98, they been trying to cancel him since his first song drop
The GOAT: Eminem
Sure as f ain't J
He still holds the world record for the amount of words used in a rap track.
The song entered the 2015 edition of the Guinness Book of World Records in which Eminem is commended for the most words in a hit single, "Rap God", totalling 1,560 words in 6 minutes, 3 seconds.
Then he beat his own record with Godzilla.
The cosplay blonde/sunglasses/suit and multi-colored geometric laser beam background -- that's Max Headroom. He was a fictional character from the late 80's; "the first computer-generated TV presenter".
Man do I love people reacting first time to the fast flow switch 😂😅
How you think that was The Matrix guy in the beginning, that was called Max Headroom in the years he was supposed to be a computer-generated character
He switches through so many styles, totally seamlessly in this song. At 9:38 he's giving respect to JJ Fad - Supersonic. Give that a listen, you'll like this part of this song even more.
You should check out the song he did with Tech N9ne “Speedom” 👍
Eminem acknowledges every significant cultural event. Totally mesmerising . I really should not comment because he is The Rap God.
Hey man being late to the game on good artists is fine. Nothing wrong with that. I was born in 1986 and I was late to a lot of things too. You’re good man, when you discover something you like in your own time you just join a family that’s got longstanding members and new members. You’re accepted at any point is my view on shit.
you're late, but respect
em has always been the best since the 90s man
The most insane thing I have ever heard someone reacting to rap music say is, 'Since when was Eminem this nice?' Eminem is the best rapper to ever do it. It's statistically and technically a fact. He is the best EVER and he has been remarkably consistent. He had a dip during his drug addiction, but other than that he is consistently incredible.
HE WAS ALWAYS THIS GREAT.. GREATEST RAPPER OF ALL TIME, PERIOD
You asked "who is he dissin'"? He's at his best when someone tries to come after him, then he unleashes. He's at his best when he has something to say, that's the only reason he's not as huge now as he was 25 years ago. He is what hip hop needs.
Kill You, I'm Back, Criminal, Soldier, Say Goodbye to Hollywood, Till I Collapse, My Dad's Gone Crazy, Mockingbird, 3 AM, these songs will change you. His Westwood freestyles are fire too.
Even the government has tried to cancel Eminem. That's what Without Me was about...
So, anyone trying to cancel him now? Good luck
Check out the whole 90's artist line ups. 80's 90's rap artist kicked a55
He is not only the best rapper in the world.. and the most unique... but also the fastest rapper in the world.
He is holding the world record for spitting out 7.5 words a second!!
And I listen to Em since the 90's.
He really is the biggest rapper of all time.
People don't see it today... but if you could go back 20/25 years you would see for yourself how big he really is!!
Yes.. he was better back then compared to today.
But that's also because he has grown up.
But if people piss him off today you know what happens.. he still has it...
Look what he has done to MGK.... went from rapper to a pink dressed pop punk Barbie!!😂😂😂
The fast part of this song is an homage to J.J. Fad, a female rap group. Not only does he talk about them before jumping into that fast-flow, but you can see a still shot from their "Supersonic" video on one of the screens in this video. The cadence, speed, and some of the syllables are direct copies of part of "Supersonic", but then Eminem gets crazy lyrical beyond the original. If you listen to the original, Eminem is only going slightly faster, but what he's spitting is much more complex and lyrically dense. Here's the original J.J. Fad "Supersonic" video, which was amazing when it first came out: ruclips.net/video/Ti1bFMBd6V4/видео.htmlsi=s2E4iAc-YBgBSepF
Ur thruth about not knowing these artists is why I luv seeing the reactions videos of parents doing reactions with their kids young adults making sure they know the ones that came b4 cuz thats important to know the past to see the future
He spits straight 🔥🔥🔥🔥! It's not jst his rhymes but the brilliantly unusual way he groups those lyrics, his rapid-fire cadence, word choice, etc. He's *_The GOAT_* & CAN'T be matched!✌♥️🌎
Em respects those who came before him and inspired him. Lil Wayne said don't spit with Em you'll lose in an interview on YT . That's why if you go for Em you're done
Eminem is hugely underrated and has always been tremendously talented. the real thing
Just started the video, but I’m excited to follow your journey - no doubt you’ll be hooked after one song (especially this)!
Also, PLEASE ignore anyone giving you a hard time just because you’re new to Em’s catalogue. Young fans (presumably) like you keep the music alive!
Man learning a Em verse is like going to school! Facts! Look into every word. Back pack rap, Rakim, Sébastien Bach, Busta.... all the OG'S... I think was a drop a Kanye song a few months or a year earlier. Em is almost a discipline of learning to get it all. It's all so much for the brain!
I will never understand why newer rappers are cared about when theres Eminem and people at his level to look up to and listen to😂
Em is the goat and just kills it
Censors leave him alone because they figure no one can really understand what he's saying so fast anyway..lol 😂
Em crushes everyone! There are very few rappers who can touch him, everyone who comes after him gets annihilated..
Dope reaction good commentary 💯
Thank you for your comment I appreciate it!
@@IamKingReacts you should react to Eminem's Baby
@@IamKingReacts you should react Eminem's Run Rabbit Run, Elevator, Remember Me and Fall Down ft Obie Trice and Nate Dogg
Bro he’s saying Rock-him and Bus the Rhymes. He’s king of puns
Yo, I'm Greek too! Em is well known and respected till this day.
He is a lyrical phenomenon( not mentioning his flows and speed...) ,he is one of your hh goats.
It's sad that his talent still isn't appreciated in his country.
By the way ,west side rules!!
Dude if you ain’t already, you should react to White America
That’s what I love about em he says whatever he feels no censoring my man
That character on the TV is Max Headroom homage
I can’t get too upset, because I myself was born in 2000, but I picked up Slim very early on in my childhood. He got me through some tough times, and his 90’s raps were perfect. As to your question about Ray J and Fab, that was a real event. Fab commented about Ray at a party hosted by Mayweather, which later got around back to Ray and it created a level of beef worthy of 24/7 coverage on TMZ. To most of the world, it was just a little scuffle in the 90210, to to the rap community, it was some actual shit, because these guys came up in the same era and these guys were ready to pull pieces they got that pissed off. Seriously. Me and a few buddies of mine love going back and watching old TMZ runs and catch all that culture drama that shaped the community and the artists it surrounded.
Eminem’s opening wasn’t Mr. Smith, it was a nod to the tv artificial intelligence 1980’s character Max Headroom.
When are people going to learn not to talk over the things they're reacting to?
