Theres no elephant in the room..Most of us that aren't white dont live in the United States and thats the fact...Em is a global icon! Im South African and I know people support this man cos of his talent and range of what he can deliver..personally I prefer Nas over Jay
Jay-Z is dope don't get me wrong, but he's so overrated it's actually insane. People just put him in the GOAT status because of his business moves. He's a mogul. Don't get me wrong he is a great rapper and has a lot of songs that teach game and actually have substance to them, but he isn't anywhere near the best or most talented rapper of all time like people make him out to be.
@@borattopaz4592 Em is woke, that's why. But " it is because hes white" is so shit. Em is global icon and no whole fking world is white, it's logic my friend. Em the only white rapper, and you told me "being white is good in rap" holly shit. LMFAO
Tbh, not race. Mainly black people call him out on race. Ideally, we call him out on succumbing to the government, became a liberal. He was against the system back then but got overpowered, more than likely ended up having his daughter threatened.
I love the “cause he’s white” argument. Especially since him being white is why we almost never knew he existed. My opinion, once you have to go to skin color, you already lost.
@@DDub04 Yes once he already popped off it helped him, he acknowledges that. But you do realize it was the exact opposite before he took off with dre? Em is literally the guy who opened the door for white rappers to be taken seriously. He was not accepted in the beginning & had a much rougher time getting any traction or scene time or crowd acceptance. Not meant to you but kids these days thinks he had a free ride which couldn't be further from the truth.
Love how dude on the right wasn't letting nothing his homies said interfere with how he enjoys this song. Music has no one color it's just human beings trying to reach out to each other with sounds. He didn't let any of the hatred or fear affect his opinion on what he knows for a fact to be a great song by a great artist. He stayed true to himself and that's what makes him beautiful.
Jay Z was a very talented rapper, but Em is just on another level, wizard of words and flow.. maybe its skin colour mattered in the beginning, but now it's just pure talent for everybody to enjoy IMO
The thing that kills me about people saying eminem only did X because he's white is the fact I've heard at least 100 black people say that. Sure he has gained a lot of fans because he's white like them, but he's also lost a lot of potential fans that never even were willing to listen to his music because he's white. It goes both ways.
I don’t know, Jay is up there as well.. it’s all about preference. I like Wayne, Juvenile (504 Boyz) and Scrappy. Trick Daddy, Prime Ludacris, Shop Boyz in high school etc. That’s what they were playing when I was growing up and the south had it on lock. Petey Pablo and Cierra. Going back I hear the bars but Eminem was never most people’s favorite rapper when I was growing up. Lil John ran shit.
The only elephant in the room is that you don't respect em...period. em kills everything. Cross necklace has to be 20 something. I respect your opinion. You can't sleep on his 30 years of killing it. It's not just us elephants...white ppl is what was wanting to be said. Em has been killing it forever. Notice you haven't reacted to hardly anything on his new album. Then tell me where jz at?
That other guy probably carries "THE ELEPHANT' wherever he goes. He has no context at all about artistry. That race card is always the template for the debate, and neglecting all the other dimensions of artistry. That boy isn't fit to voice out a conclusion without taking those into consideration.
Little fact for you: Eminem was sober while writing all the songs to this album, except for this one This is the last song ever he wrote under the influence and he's been sober since 🙌🏼
Kinda true he wrote most of the song in 2005 and finished the last verse in 2009 when he was clean so he did write more songs under the influence technically
This song right here, one of the most underrated songs out there dropped by Em. I've got this on my playlist, and it's never been a day where I didn't end up listening to it. Real GOAT stuff🐐🔥
Really?? I was always drawn to this song & I knew it was around the time he got sober but….that’s very interesting. He really is the goat. No elephant necessary.
Yes, he had to basically re-learn how to rap and overall live lol that's why you can see in the video that his movements are kinda off, this was not long after he overdosed
Just imagine how much more popular and how much more subscribers Eminem would have if social media existed during his come up! Eminem had to spread by physical copies of CD's. Every artist today is one click away, and free.
This is one of my favorite Eminem songs. The reason why it has so many views Eminem had just started rapping again . He was gone for like 5 years , and nobody knew if he would ever come back to music at the time. So it was huge for people like me that grew up listening to him as a child.
Reason why it get so many views??..U r completely worng..He is just that famous and big and this doesnt even generate much of that views compared to his 50% of other vids...And no,he's gone haitus for 3 yrs without personal projects but never went completely hidden,gets a feature here and there and put out Re-Up which is his compilation albums back in 2006..Encore was his las album prior to Relapse and it was in 04,then followed up by Curtain Call: Greatest Hits back in 05..
I’m from Detroit and Eminem is number 1 on my list he came from battle rapping to main stream with the help of dr Dre he’s very talented jay z is just a different rapper then em
@@My_Kolonki actually Detroit is rebuilding itself pretty rapidly and it’s an up and coming area boss so tbh with you unless your looking for trouble Detroit is fine a lot of big financial business such as coamerica is done out of Detroit not just cars and trucks etc lol 😂 Detroit ain’t bad anymore like it was fr fr
Em is a global icon, it surpasses the rap genre: greatest Western artist in Africa, him and Justin Bieber are biggest Western artists in Cina, biggest rapper in Asia. Europe started listening to many greats because of Eminem. Also- there's no way Tiger Woods or Pele are one of the greatest in their sports because they were a rarity. Talent x Work+Work+Work+Work + doing what 99% is not willing to do will get you there. Eminem is that rare beast. Mozart got promoted by his Dad like MJ or Aretha were but, in the end, we all know they, too were those Crafters for the art they grew up with. Em had to raise himself, and was already working, rapping and raising kids, in the hood, at the same age these suburban youngsters are when they get up at 10, grab their iPad and hate on how he cannot know the culture. Yet, he is a part of it. Biology, incl. skin colour, doesn't make you part of a culture. Your culture does. R-e-s-p-e-c-t.
Eminem is Global since 1999. Marshall has introduced Hip Hop and Rap to the world. Hands down why Hip Hop is a top Genre. ❤ It's good. Someone in your crew will never like Marshall. Not everyone will. ❤
Eminem beats jay z. No disrespect to jay at all but there is no rapper on this planet who has a tool box as large as Eminem. The dude is litteraly 3 different personalities who all brong there own style when rapping, and thats just one tool from his box.
Exactly and it's not even close same for Wayne and any other rapper they wanna put up. And I'm black just like they are. Not that that necessarily matters but it does for my personal opinion. I'm a huge fan of wayne and Jay but Em is a completely different monster as WE know.
@@navminhas412 oh so you only care about how it sounds and not the bars and doubles and triples that Eminem puts in all his new songs.Unless you can’t catch the bars that he puts in his songs then that’s Ight but Eminem has made fire albums in the past few years
@@navminhas412 I agree with you on that.I’ve get ‘em in my top 5 top but I think pac is my number 1 because of the way he puts his words together and tells his story is unmatched in my opinion and I’ve got eazy e in my top 5 I know he isn’t the best rapper or even close to nas or jay z but there’s something about eazy e that I love and I was born in south California so I’m bias.
I've seen Eminem in concert many times the people that show up to his concerts are of all races its wonderdul and he puts on a great show sounds amazing live to!!
It's frustrating when you down play this man because of his colour listen to his ft songs he washes every rapper on there own songs can tell you are young if you think drake and little wayne are in the same category as em
If y’all want to see his lyrical ability really on display y’all should react to “darkness” and “never love again” by Eminem because both of those entire songs are double entendres. Idk if there are any other rappers who have that sort of ability to tie two things together and rap an entire song about it with punchlines that make sense both ways.
I don't think there's an artist alive in the rap game that has more big hits than em. Out of the most viewed music videos of all time Eminem has 5 of the top 10.
The subs don't matter. The money don't matter. The game don't matter. The lyrics and how people relate matter. You can't take away from the talent cause it's big and if it wasn't everyone could be Em. Everyone has opinions and that's okay. It's all love💯 music is music and we all have our own preference
That goes for all arts, the connection to the soul, when you feel a resonance with it that shooks your being. (Not all songs by any artists, but Eminem knows how to relate and tell some common tribulations of life)
Also I appreciate that Eminem tends to have a song for just about anybody. You want one of those club type of songs. Go listen to those kind of nights with Eminem and Ed Sheeran or the killer remix with Jack Harlow and corday. You want one of those inspirational kind of songs. Listen to something like this or not afraid. Or guts over fear with SIA. Or beautiful pain. You want an angry Eminem. Go listen to the ringer or soldier. If you want one of those kind of real songs about life and stuff like that go listen to toy soldiers or in your head. Songs about his daughter. There's plenty of those Haley's song mockingbird. Songs of him apologizing to his wife. Go listen to Bad husband songs about him basically murdering his wife LOL don't listen to Kim. He's got other deep songs talking about his upbringing. Like cleaning out my closet storytelling songs. Go listen to Stan and bad guy which is essentially a follow-up to Stan. You want one of those gut wrenching songs that can almost make you cry. Go listen to castle and a rose. You want to talk about politics. Go listen to the bet cypher. Tragic endings. Going nowhere fast. Or like home with Alicia keys where he comes directly at trump. And says that he is basically Adolf Hitler. You want a super bar heavy song. Go listen to Alfred steam. Bad meets Evil all I think about. You want to hear crazy rhyming. Listen to never enough featuring 50 cent where he rhymes his entire verse. Or go listen to Baby. Fast wrapping. Obviously speedom with tech N9ne. Godzilla or rap God. You want to hear him singing. Again Haley song. Stronger than I was he essentially sings the whole entire song. Talking about battling his demons and addiction. Which again he isn't afraid to put out anything. He airs his dirty laundry all the time. If you listen to stepping Stones it's him talking about coming up with D12 and then proof dying in the group essentially falling apart and how guilty he feels for it. Go listen to My band if you're in the mood for some weird silly song. Or we made You. You want some old school hip hop. Go listen to don't front. Has that old school boom bap style. Freestyle. Shady cipher or Shady cipher 2.0. or his newer one kick off. Or his freestyle on sway or Tim Westwood. This songs? Way too many account but again name anybody that's ever came at m&m and is still relevant today? Don't worry I'll wait. And if they do have any relevance it's only because they got destroyed. The only style wrap I can really think of that he might not have done is straight up gangster rap about selling crack and Coke because. Well he never really did any of that so. Closest you could get in soldier or till I collapse. You want to see him out wrap legends? Go listen to Nas EPMD 2, renegade. Which Eminem also produced the beat for. And Jay z recently admitted that Eminem washed him. Biggie dead wrong. I'm sure there's others..... Yeaa... I think it's undebatable but I'm here if you want to
One of yall just said it at 7:18ish. Eminem has that articulation and tells a story. I couldn't tell you exactly why, just the way my brain works, but I love music for the story. Like a mini movie in my head. So I love to try and catch each bar and the world play but also just follow the story and message.
The reason we can relate to Eminem despite his subject matter is not because of relatability but because we appreciate literature and also we have seen his life story unfold before our very eyes.
Although I'm going to assume that kid wasn't clever enough to put this together. But I do find it kind of funny that him referring to the elephant in the room being that one person is black and one person is white. Mix those two colors together and what do you get? Gray. Like the apparent elephant that's in the room. But that only seems to be in the room when his opinion is asked. It sucks that for some people like him and plenty of others. He will not and cannot get the recognition that he deserves because he is white. It does work both ways you know. Coming up it made it harder for him to get recognized and obviously still to this day his skin color is affecting him and people s*** all over him because he is a white artist in a predominantly black music genre. And some black people just can't accept the fact that there is a white artist that does it better than black artists. It's what I think it comes down to. It said that he constantly has to prove himself. Not even counting statistics or views or anything like that. Name another artist that pays homage even half as much as Eminem does? Name me another artist that has done more for hip hop than eminem? He inspired hopsin. Logic. Kendrick Lamar. J Cole. Royce Da 5'9. He introduced. Well more like he reintroduced the world to 50 cent. Donations.? He has donated a ridiculous amount of money to many different charities but a lot of them are based in Detroit and are based on underprivileged kids and black youth. This dude cut his fan base in half are taking a stand against Trump for being an a****** and racist. Took a stand against cops that were racially targeting black people. And yet still 90% of the hate that he seems to get is from the same community that he is always trying to help out and better and stand for. If you listen to his songs when he talks about racially quality he says all that WE want is racially quality. He has stated many times black people saved my life. And yet he still gets s*** on. I really really don't understand it. And anybody can have whatever opinion they want. I'm not here to s*** on anybody for their opinion. You could literally tell me you don't like him because he's white. I don't agree with it but that's your opinion. But I would be more than happy to have a debate with you in the comments or whatever. As long as we look at things objectively and with actual facts and statistics
@@JulioCezarlive well if it makes you feel any better, your comment was easy to ready and put together better than 90% of the comments I usually read. It's so hard to have an actual debate with people because their comments or responses make zero sense. Lol. Where ya from anyway?
Well to be honest, that was a little aggressive but true tho. I mean I am from India but still like EM over any other Indian or American Rapper out there, the first one who introduced me tk rap was EM. BUT everyone one invliding Jay Z, Pac, Nas, Kendric and etc,. Are in my Top 10.
I been a Eminem #Slimshady Marshall matters fan since I was 8 years old and now soon I will be 33! Years old so almost 25 year's listen to the #Goat! Of rap and diss tracks king. Eminem You Been part of my life with your music it's your Life story style I respect you.
Eminem is one of the very few rappers who has memorized the entire dictionary and has the ability to create the unique style of wordplay that he uses. He uses words that no rapper has ever used before.
All we know from this man. Eminem has saved millions of lives and gave us a good vibe and conversation in life be free and loving.. But never be afraid to make the search on your own and in hard times.. Play Eminem and get your mind right
Em #1 of all time! No ? About it! Em has it all on all levels no matter which way you cut it. Color has little to do with it. If it wan because of that then why don't other white rappers do as well as he? Cause other white rappers as good as him either. Em is just different.
EMINEM IS DIFFERENT HE is genius on storytelling he is not just rap he is true artist His songs never getting old; Love the way you lie Monster When I am gone Mockingbird Black magic ...
Eminem is a global icon. I'm black and I'm not from the US. But I can relate to Eminem's songs more than I could relate to Jay Z's. They are both just different artists, I guess.
I'm born and raised Detroit, I'm not a fan of most rap, but, Eminem is #1! I flew my oldest son from VA to TX, to see his Rap God perform at ACL concert in Austin TX, several years ago and he's still living that high!!
This was the last song Em gave us before he changed. This was the last "old Em" song. And now go re-listen to the outro and what he says with that in mind. Cartier Fam cut the vid short, but he says: "Yeah, to my babies, stay strong Dad'll be home soon And to the rest of the world God gave you them shoes to fit you So put 'em on and wear 'em Be yourself, man Be proud of who you are Even if it sounds corny Don't ever let no one tell you, you ain't beautiful."
Eminem best ALL TIME all day 💯 Edit: Just for some context here, Dec 31st, 2021 Em broke his own record of having the highest streamed discography on Spotify with 11 of his solo records accumulating OVER 1 BILLION streams!!! So YES, there's levels to the rap game & every legend deserves their respect BUT what Ross has yet to realize is that Eminem is a level unto himself - he can battle rap, sing a melody, make a chart topping pop song & "send a beat to the mutha f****n trauma unit" & last but not least it's Eminem's cadence which is absolutely unmatchable & that's facts 💯 Do yourselves a favor & checkout RUclips's color coded song cadence feature & you'll see what I'm talking about 🎶 At the end of the day everyone has a goat list that differs person to person & genre to genre BUT don't judge an artist on a few well known hits - listen to their full discography in order to judge them as a whole.
The greatest rapper of all time is Eminem. Easy. There is no one who can even touch him. Leagues above everyone else. Look at the subs, views, fan following, lyrics, everything. Stan for life 🙌🏻
I'm from northern Michigan and of course I know Eminem was always good. This year though a Master of his craft. A lyrical genius. Greatest of all time. Goat.
Just to let your man know that Em is the the #3 most listened to artist in Africa, and the #1 most listened to American artist in Africa. Just bc Jay is popular in America doesn't mean he's that popular around the world. I can't even remember the last time Jayz had a Solo hit. Can yall?
@turbomoist1276 Jay is a goat as a figure in hip-hop as well as goated hip-hop business head, but as a rapper..uh no..sorry my guy, but numbers don't lie..public history don't lie..you can look at it from a different perspective, but spade is a spade and facts are just that..facts. Yes, in the U.S. he may be in the goat rapper convo..but the most of the rest of the world knows him more aa Beyonce's husband. I was in England when Nas murked him on ether. People literally stopped listening to him. He won't really taken seriously after that. Remember? That was the first time "retired". How many hits has he dropped by himself? He went on a world tour with Linkin Park, Beyonce, and kanye. What other rapper EVER had a press conference to announce retirement? Just so he vould finesse his way with a "come back" album. How many cadences, lines, and lyrics has he copped from other artists and acted like he came up with the sht? Never showing appreciation. Didn't he take "99 problems" from ice t. Never asked. Never given credit. What about all the sht from Biggie or Camron? Idk, however, your entitled to have whoever you want on your list for whatever reason, although, i can only assume if Jay is on your goated list...Drake is right next to him..
@@lalathedonna5223 Bit late of a reply but thank you for spitting straight facts, Em is a real one and people around the world no matter the race respect him
“Yeah to my babies, stay strong your dad will be home soon and to the rest of the world god gave you them shoes that fit you. So put em on and wear em. Be yourself man. Be proud of who you are. And even if it sounds corny, don’t ever let no one tell you, you ain’t beautiful.” That’s the ending you missed
And to add on a little bought me! I'm from Cincinnati Ohio, i lived this man's life! And I'm still here, the lose of my mother, my father, almost all my family, and I'm just like him, still moving on,. but I don't have his money or fame. Lol, but he is the best rapper of all time
Fast forward 6 months after they listened to the newer lyrical wordplay filled stuff and some crazy SSLP/MMLP stuff from Eminem and all the doubters have changed their minds. You love to see it! :) No one is on this man's level. Regardless of their skin color.
You guys crack me up. As a 40 yr old white male growing up in Michigan at the height of Ems stardom, it's awesome to see you guys experience some of the music we waited desperately to be released. I will fly out to do a video of "Quiter" and "Girls."
Jay one of my favorite artists of all time but 90% of his songs are just flexin songs. No other rapper has the range that Eminem has but Em is not for everybody.
Cartier Fam never disappoints, i made a lot of black friends in the Army through hip hop and rap as a white guy who grew up in the desert of AZ. You guys would probably make great serviceman 🫡🤙Ya'll are awesome. I love you guys
Superman- Eminem If you want your friend to be a little more impressed, that song is goated, and for the love of god don’t do the clean version for that song, it’ll be silent half of it
I have to speak on this... LOL your thoughts of "the elephant in the room" are legit, no doubt about it, but it's still not fair to disregard Eminems talent due to it. Not to talk about his impact... I'm a fully grown woman from Sweden, who got exposed to hip-hop, and grew to love it, mainly because of Eminem. His songs played on the radio, on MTV and stuff like that when I grew up. I'd heard a few hip-hop songs before, like 2 Pac and Busta rhymes, but since Em came along, always promoting and paying homage to other rappers, he definitely helped turning me into the lover of hip-hop I am today. I'm fully aware that his skincolor was of significance, but does it really matter, if the fact he's white actually helped expand hiphop? I don't see how that's bad. I mean, there are obviously a bunch of doors to break down still, but Eminem definitely helped pushing the culture forwards! Trust me. ❤
Hey hey guys great reaction as always love smiling and laughing with you guys..... As far as best going with PAC both that you're surprised but since he "passed" it's been Em, many have tried many have come close lots have done a hell of a job but Em is on another level of talent....
I promise you if you’re a White dude who loves hip hop you sub more brown skin than white skin artists. Now I ain’t sayin skin colour ain’t an issue full stop. It just ain’t the whole reason for this man’s success. Fact is he just does it as good, if not better than most.
yeah i dont think people who bring up that argument understand how the world works. Just statistically alone for hip hop to bring the numbers it does every rapper out there will have a majority of white fans, thats just what the demographics are. I dont understand people who think all the numbers for jayz are from black fans and ems are from white fans for example. its just not statistically likely. Also cant speak for everyone but for me i cant say i have ever sat and gone wow a fellow white man i must support him. The majority in my country is white, a white dude to me is just another dude. My mind isnt wired to think i have to care about this dude because he happens to be the same colour, like why the fuck would i care.
Personal opinion: best rappers of all time, in terms of where they're from. West coast, 2Pac. East coast, Rakim. Midwest, Shady all day. Down south, Scarface.
Theres no elephant in the room..Most of us that aren't white dont live in the United States and thats the fact...Em is a global icon! Im South African and I know people support this man cos of his talent and range of what he can deliver..personally I prefer Nas over Jay
I agree with everything you said 😁😎
Nah it is because hes white that guy is right even Eminem himself admitted it
Jay-Z is dope don't get me wrong, but he's so overrated it's actually insane. People just put him in the GOAT status because of his business moves. He's a mogul. Don't get me wrong he is a great rapper and has a lot of songs that teach game and actually have substance to them, but he isn't anywhere near the best or most talented rapper of all time like people make him out to be.
@@borattopaz4592 Em is woke, that's why. But " it is because hes white" is so shit. Em is global icon and no whole fking world is white, it's logic my friend. Em the only white rapper, and you told me "being white is good in rap" holly shit. LMFAO
@@YzaekPark exactly bro I just don’t understand why people jump to the conclusion of it being race this guy em is famous all over the world
America is the only place that sees eminem by race the rest of the world just know he's got mad talent and ability to tell stories.
so real
Tbh, not race. Mainly black people call him out on race. Ideally, we call him out on succumbing to the government, became a liberal. He was against the system back then but got overpowered, more than likely ended up having his daughter threatened.
Facts
Lol. Ok.....sure
Sad right?
I love the “cause he’s white” argument. Especially since him being white is why we almost never knew he existed. My opinion, once you have to go to skin color, you already lost.
I always hear it anytime someone says something good about eminem
I'm white, but majority of eminems fans were white. Elevating his status
@@WarPigs413 majority of hip hop fans in general are white. The largest demographic for album sales of any hip hop artist is Caucasians.
Eminem being white helped him become one of the most popular rappers of all time.
@@DDub04 Yes once he already popped off it helped him, he acknowledges that. But you do realize it was the exact opposite before he took off with dre?

Love how dude on the right wasn't letting nothing his homies said interfere with how he enjoys this song.
Music has no one color it's just human beings trying to reach out to each other with sounds.
He didn't let any of the hatred or fear affect his opinion on what he knows for a fact to be a great song by a great artist.
He stayed true to himself and that's what makes him beautiful.
dude on the right carrys the channel so hard with his outstanding positivity vs his close minded friends
So beautifully said...😭
@@jonahblack6675 facts he always lit in every reaction !!
Always. He keeps the energy
Jay Z was a very talented rapper, but Em is just on another level, wizard of words and flow.. maybe its skin colour mattered in the beginning, but now it's just pure talent for everybody to enjoy IMO
All they should do is play this dude Renegade but i gotta feeling that's why he's trying to downplay Em cause he's already heard it
The thing that kills me about people saying eminem only did X because he's white is the fact I've heard at least 100 black people say that. Sure he has gained a lot of fans because he's white like them, but he's also lost a lot of potential fans that never even were willing to listen to his music because he's white. It goes both ways.
Jay-Z music so trash he had to buy his own sales lmfao
I don’t know, Jay is up there as well.. it’s all about preference. I like Wayne, Juvenile (504 Boyz) and Scrappy. Trick Daddy, Prime Ludacris, Shop Boyz in high school etc. That’s what they were playing when I was growing up and the south had it on lock. Petey Pablo and Cierra. Going back I hear the bars but Eminem was never most people’s favorite rapper when I was growing up. Lil John ran shit.
Jay Z sounds whack as hell when he raps
There's no elephant in the room. I'm Indian and Eminem transcends white or black, and I've been listening to him for the last 25 years.
The only elephant in the room is that you don't respect em...period. em kills everything. Cross necklace has to be 20 something. I respect your opinion. You can't sleep on his 30 years of killing it. It's not just us elephants...white ppl is what was wanting to be said. Em has been killing it forever. Notice you haven't reacted to hardly anything on his new album. Then tell me where jz at?
EMINEM IS THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME.
That other guy probably carries "THE ELEPHANT' wherever he goes. He has no context at all about artistry. That race card is always the template for the debate, and neglecting all the other dimensions of artistry. That boy isn't fit to voice out a conclusion without taking those into consideration.
Little fact for you: Eminem was sober while writing all the songs to this album, except for this one
This is the last song ever he wrote under the influence and he's been sober since 🙌🏼
Kinda true he wrote most of the song in 2005 and finished the last verse in 2009 when he was clean so he did write more songs under the influence technically
He was detoxing writing the first and second verse
I didn't know that 😯 this one's my favorite 🥹
This song right here, one of the most underrated songs out there dropped by Em. I've got this on my playlist, and it's never been a day where I didn't end up listening to it. Real GOAT stuff🐐🔥
Role model is the most underrated song

They'd KNOW if they reacted to that song!! Em SLAYS all of em.
.......That's Eminem's song it was on the relapse album

"I'll be one tough act to follow" almost 14 years later and Em has never been better. What a foreseeing.
He started this song right before he overdosed and almost died. He finished this song in rehab. ❤
Really?? I was always drawn to this song & I knew it was around the time he got sober but….that’s very interesting. He really is the goat. No elephant necessary.
Yes, he had to basically re-learn how to rap and overall live lol that's why you can see in the video that his movements are kinda off, this was not long after he overdosed
Just imagine how much more popular and how much more subscribers Eminem would have if social media existed during his come up! Eminem had to spread by physical copies of CD's. Every artist today is one click away, and free.
This is one of my favorite Eminem songs. The reason why it has so many views Eminem had just started rapping again . He was gone for like 5 years , and nobody knew if he would ever come back to music at the time. So it was huge for people like me that grew up listening to him as a child.
Reason why it get so many views??..U r completely worng..He is just that famous and big and this doesnt even generate much of that views compared to his 50% of other vids...And no,he's gone haitus for 3 yrs without personal projects but never went completely hidden,gets a feature here and there and put out Re-Up which is his compilation albums back in 2006..Encore was his las album prior to Relapse and it was in 04,then followed up by Curtain Call: Greatest Hits back in 05..
Just throwing it out there… Eminem has the largest vocabulary in the MUSIC INDUSTRY!! Not just rap
I’m from Detroit and Eminem is number 1 on my list he came from battle rapping to main stream with the help of dr Dre he’s very talented jay z is just a different rapper then em
Come check out the channel if you love Em! 💯
Eminem sold more and charted longer than jay z verses battle wouldn’t be a battle Eminem win that hands down
Seriously from Detroit? is there really such a terrible life in the most criminal ghost town?
@@My_Kolonki actually Detroit is rebuilding itself pretty rapidly and it’s an up and coming area boss so tbh with you unless your looking for trouble Detroit is fine a lot of big financial business such as coamerica is done out of Detroit not just cars and trucks etc lol 😂 Detroit ain’t bad anymore like it was fr fr
Yep eminem killed em all. And in I'm in Memphis. Black or white . Oh well .
Em is a global icon, it surpasses the rap genre: greatest Western artist in Africa, him and Justin Bieber are biggest Western artists in Cina, biggest rapper in Asia. Europe started listening to many greats because of Eminem. Also- there's no way Tiger Woods or Pele are one of the greatest in their sports because they were a rarity. Talent x Work+Work+Work+Work + doing what 99% is not willing to do will get you there. Eminem is that rare beast.
Mozart got promoted by his Dad like MJ or Aretha were but, in the end, we all know they, too were those Crafters for the art they grew up with. Em had to raise himself, and was already working, rapping and raising kids, in the hood, at the same age these suburban youngsters are when they get up at 10, grab their iPad and hate on how he cannot know the culture. Yet, he is a part of it. Biology, incl. skin colour, doesn't make you part of a culture. Your culture does. R-e-s-p-e-c-t.
Eminem is a legend. No one does it like him. No one. He is in a category of his own.
Eminem is Global since 1999. Marshall has introduced Hip Hop and Rap to the world. Hands down why Hip Hop is a top Genre. ❤ It's good. Someone in your crew will never like Marshall. Not everyone will. ❤
Eminem beats jay z. No disrespect to jay at all but there is no rapper on this planet who has a tool box as large as Eminem. The dude is litteraly 3 different personalities who all brong there own style when rapping, and thats just one tool from his box.
Exactly and it's not even close same for Wayne and any other rapper they wanna put up. And I'm black just like they are. Not that that necessarily matters but it does for my personal opinion. I'm a huge fan of wayne and Jay but Em is a completely different monster as WE know.
@@navminhas412 👁️⚫⚫👁️ ok bruh
@@navminhas412 oh so you only care about how it sounds and not the bars and doubles and triples that Eminem puts in all his new songs.Unless you can’t catch the bars that he puts in his songs then that’s Ight but Eminem has made fire albums in the past few years
@@navminhas412 what music do you listen to that sounds good?
@@navminhas412 I agree with you on that.I’ve get ‘em in my top 5 top but I think pac is my number 1 because of the way he puts his words together and tells his story is unmatched in my opinion and I’ve got eazy e in my top 5 I know he isn’t the best rapper or even close to nas or jay z but there’s something about eazy e that I love and I was born in south California so I’m bias.
Eminem has proven time and time again hes the goat, everyone who steps to him gets bodied point blank. Nobody is on his level lyrically or creatively.
I've seen Eminem in concert many times the people that show up to his concerts are of all races its wonderdul and he puts on a great show sounds amazing live to!!
The way you guys just talk over music is making me bang my head against the wall man!!🙌🤯😭😂😂😂 Stoooop it🙏😂🙏🙏
I'd recommend: When I'm Gone, Mockingbird, and Hailie's Song for reactions. Those are some of the most real and raw songs Eminem has ever done imho.
It's frustrating when you down play this man because of his colour listen to his ft songs he washes every rapper on there own songs can tell you are young if you think drake and little wayne are in the same category as em
They need to play When I'm Gone fr 🔥🔥🔥
All the racism made me click off. I love MANY African American rappers, as well as Eminem. Hope y’all are blessed and much love to you.
If y’all want to see his lyrical ability really on display y’all should react to “darkness” and “never love again” by Eminem because both of those entire songs are double entendres. Idk if there are any other rappers who have that sort of ability to tie two things together and rap an entire song about it with punchlines that make sense both ways.
Castle and Arose is a better example of his lyrical and storytelling abilities that's what I would recommend both in one video though.
The way i am
White America
Renegafe
My all time fav, besides all others 😂
25 to life
Eminem is a lyrical genius. No one can top him on that.
Leaving Heaven
I don't think there's an artist alive in the rap game that has more big hits than em. Out of the most viewed music videos of all time Eminem has 5 of the top 10.
The subs don't matter. The money don't matter. The game don't matter. The lyrics and how people relate matter. You can't take away from the talent cause it's big and if it wasn't everyone could be Em. Everyone has opinions and that's okay. It's all love💯 music is music and we all have our own preference
Yes! If you don’t like something it’s ok and we hear your opinion but respect, knowing when to stfu is hard, silence says what words can’t. Stfu
That goes for all arts, the connection to the soul, when you feel a resonance with it that shooks your being. (Not all songs by any artists, but Eminem knows how to relate and tell some common tribulations of life)
“Going through changes” is another one that has the vibe like this song
Also I appreciate that Eminem tends to have a song for just about anybody. You want one of those club type of songs. Go listen to those kind of nights with Eminem and Ed Sheeran or the killer remix with Jack Harlow and corday. You want one of those inspirational kind of songs. Listen to something like this or not afraid. Or guts over fear with SIA. Or beautiful pain. You want an angry Eminem. Go listen to the ringer or soldier. If you want one of those kind of real songs about life and stuff like that go listen to toy soldiers or in your head. Songs about his daughter. There's plenty of those Haley's song mockingbird. Songs of him apologizing to his wife. Go listen to Bad husband songs about him basically murdering his wife LOL don't listen to Kim. He's got other deep songs talking about his upbringing. Like cleaning out my closet storytelling songs. Go listen to Stan and bad guy which is essentially a follow-up to Stan. You want one of those gut wrenching songs that can almost make you cry. Go listen to castle and a rose. You want to talk about politics. Go listen to the bet cypher. Tragic endings. Going nowhere fast. Or like home with Alicia keys where he comes directly at trump. And says that he is basically Adolf Hitler. You want a super bar heavy song. Go listen to Alfred steam. Bad meets Evil all I think about. You want to hear crazy rhyming. Listen to never enough featuring 50 cent where he rhymes his entire verse. Or go listen to Baby. Fast wrapping. Obviously speedom with tech N9ne. Godzilla or rap God. You want to hear him singing. Again Haley song. Stronger than I was he essentially sings the whole entire song. Talking about battling his demons and addiction. Which again he isn't afraid to put out anything. He airs his dirty laundry all the time. If you listen to stepping Stones it's him talking about coming up with D12 and then proof dying in the group essentially falling apart and how guilty he feels for it. Go listen to My band if you're in the mood for some weird silly song. Or we made You. You want some old school hip hop. Go listen to don't front. Has that old school boom bap style. Freestyle. Shady cipher or Shady cipher 2.0. or his newer one kick off. Or his freestyle on sway or Tim Westwood. This songs? Way too many account but again name anybody that's ever came at m&m and is still relevant today? Don't worry I'll wait. And if they do have any relevance it's only because they got destroyed. The only style wrap I can really think of that he might not have done is straight up gangster rap about selling crack and Coke because. Well he never really did any of that so. Closest you could get in soldier or till I collapse. You want to see him out wrap legends? Go listen to Nas EPMD 2, renegade. Which Eminem also produced the beat for. And Jay z recently admitted that Eminem washed him. Biggie dead wrong. I'm sure there's others..... Yeaa... I think it's undebatable but I'm here if you want to
great summary
Awesome 👌 👏 nothing more I could add
One of yall just said it at 7:18ish. Eminem has that articulation and tells a story. I couldn't tell you exactly why, just the way my brain works, but I love music for the story. Like a mini movie in my head. So I love to try and catch each bar and the world play but also just follow the story and message.
eminem is so versatile and he has 3 different characters 3 different styles of music , trust jay z has good songs and his story telling goes crazy
I agree
I think Em is better overall, but Jay-Z is no slouch
The reason we can relate to Eminem despite his subject matter is not because of relatability but because we appreciate literature and also we have seen his life story unfold before our very eyes.
Although I'm going to assume that kid wasn't clever enough to put this together. But I do find it kind of funny that him referring to the elephant in the room being that one person is black and one person is white. Mix those two colors together and what do you get? Gray. Like the apparent elephant that's in the room. But that only seems to be in the room when his opinion is asked. It sucks that for some people like him and plenty of others. He will not and cannot get the recognition that he deserves because he is white. It does work both ways you know. Coming up it made it harder for him to get recognized and obviously still to this day his skin color is affecting him and people s*** all over him because he is a white artist in a predominantly black music genre. And some black people just can't accept the fact that there is a white artist that does it better than black artists. It's what I think it comes down to. It said that he constantly has to prove himself. Not even counting statistics or views or anything like that. Name another artist that pays homage even half as much as Eminem does? Name me another artist that has done more for hip hop than eminem? He inspired hopsin. Logic. Kendrick Lamar. J Cole. Royce Da 5'9. He introduced. Well more like he reintroduced the world to 50 cent. Donations.? He has donated a ridiculous amount of money to many different charities but a lot of them are based in Detroit and are based on underprivileged kids and black youth. This dude cut his fan base in half are taking a stand against Trump for being an a****** and racist. Took a stand against cops that were racially targeting black people. And yet still 90% of the hate that he seems to get is from the same community that he is always trying to help out and better and stand for. If you listen to his songs when he talks about racially quality he says all that WE want is racially quality. He has stated many times black people saved my life. And yet he still gets s*** on. I really really don't understand it. And anybody can have whatever opinion they want. I'm not here to s*** on anybody for their opinion. You could literally tell me you don't like him because he's white. I don't agree with it but that's your opinion. But I would be more than happy to have a debate with you in the comments or whatever. As long as we look at things objectively and with actual facts and statistics
I loved your comment, I agree with you, I'm not American and I don't speak English, although I really like this language and the USA too
@@JulioCezarlive well if it makes you feel any better, your comment was easy to ready and put together better than 90% of the comments I usually read. It's so hard to have an actual debate with people because their comments or responses make zero sense. Lol. Where ya from anyway?
Well to be honest, that was a little aggressive but true tho.
I mean I am from India but still like EM over any other Indian or American Rapper out there, the first one who introduced me tk rap was EM.
BUT everyone one invliding Jay Z, Pac, Nas, Kendric and etc,. Are in my Top 10.
People cry about racism all day long are themselves are the most racist.
Black people are the real racists i dont know on what world is comparing the legend em and jay z
I been a Eminem #Slimshady Marshall matters fan since I was 8 years old and now soon I will be 33! Years old so almost 25 year's listen to the #Goat! Of rap and diss tracks king. Eminem You Been part of my life with your music it's your Life story style I respect you.
You really gotta react to renegade by jay z and Eminem !! It’s a banger and both killed it
Yesss
Yasss.
The way i am
White America
Renegade
My all time fav beside others
royce did renegade w em 1st kiddo! not jay z..... royce is a top 3!
Eminem killed it on Renegade. Jayz verse was aight
@@moyseappr faax🤣
my mom dedicated this song to me when I was getting bullied in school. Em practically saved my life through this song on some real shit.
Eminem is one of the very few rappers who has memorized the entire dictionary and has the ability to create the unique style of wordplay that he uses. He uses words that no rapper has ever used before.
And he got the most subs over EVERYONE on yt he jus broke da record..n Hella humble n laid back..yall need to get hip🐐
The Blueprint 3 is a classic for me.....
Eminem just so legendary
Jay z and Eminem our on there own levels in greatness but Eminem is legendary
Eminem will forever reign because of his relatability with his music! Then add lyrics,cadences,flow,punchlines etc! #thegoat
You have to expand your knowledge of hip hop, but everyone has their own opinion. Much love fellas!!
There's a difference between your favorite rappers and the goat.
I’m a NY’er. NAS kills Jay and Em kills Jay.
Literally my favorite song by Em
All we know from this man. Eminem has saved millions of lives and gave us a good vibe and conversation in life be free and loving.. But never be afraid to make the search on your own and in hard times.. Play Eminem and get your mind right
one of the best choruses he's ever written...
Em #1 of all time! No ? About it! Em has it all on all levels no matter which way you cut it. Color has little to do with it. If it wan because of that then why don't other white rappers do as well as he? Cause other white rappers as good as him either. Em is just different.
EMINEM IS DIFFERENT HE is genius on storytelling he is not just rap he is true artist His songs never getting old;
Love the way you lie
Monster
When I am gone
Mockingbird
Black magic ...
Imma Stan Forever My vote is Eminem 🗣🗣🔒
Em has always been my beyond favorite rapper since day 1.
Eminem is a global icon. I'm black and I'm not from the US. But I can relate to Eminem's songs more than I could relate to Jay Z's. They are both just different artists, I guess.
Em smashes and " DESTROYS" everyone that tries to Chest Up and test the waters that he treads on! Em holds the 🏆 🎶 🎵 🐐 👑
I'm born and raised Detroit, I'm not a fan of most rap, but, Eminem is #1!
I flew my oldest son from VA to TX, to see his Rap God perform at ACL concert in Austin TX, several years ago and he's still living that high!!
This was the last song Em gave us before he changed. This was the last "old Em" song. And now go re-listen to the outro and what he says with that in mind. Cartier Fam cut the vid short, but he says:
"Yeah, to my babies, stay strong
Dad'll be home soon
And to the rest of the world
God gave you them shoes to fit you
So put 'em on and wear 'em
Be yourself, man
Be proud of who you are
Even if it sounds corny
Don't ever let no one tell you, you ain't beautiful."
Eminem best ALL TIME all day 💯
Edit: Just for some context here, Dec 31st, 2021 Em broke his own record of having the highest streamed discography on Spotify with 11 of his solo records accumulating OVER 1 BILLION streams!!!
So YES, there's levels to the rap game & every legend deserves their respect BUT what Ross has yet to realize is that Eminem is a level unto himself - he can battle rap, sing a melody, make a chart topping pop song & "send a beat to the mutha f****n trauma unit" & last but not least it's Eminem's cadence which is absolutely unmatchable & that's facts 💯 Do yourselves a favor & checkout RUclips's color coded song cadence feature & you'll see what I'm talking about 🎶
At the end of the day everyone has a goat list that differs person to person & genre to genre BUT don't judge an artist on a few well known hits - listen to their full discography in order to judge them as a whole.
The greatest rapper of all time is Eminem. Easy. There is no one who can even touch him. Leagues above everyone else. Look at the subs, views, fan following, lyrics, everything. Stan for life 🙌🏻
Em over everybody y'all tripping. Bar for bar, rhyming schemes, he turns flows into it's on melody.
This is probably by far one of my favorite songs by Eminem hands down very underrated in my opinion true deep message in this song ❤
I'm from northern Michigan and of course I know Eminem was always good. This year though a Master of his craft. A lyrical genius. Greatest of all time. Goat.
You're finally hearing this song for the first time? I am Korean and I have listened to this song for tens of thousands of times.?
Eminem is number 1 nobody can top his music period I've have everything he has ever done he's the best in the rap game
Front right really feeling it!
"Beautiful" is amazing❤️
Just to let your man know that Em is the the #3 most listened to artist in Africa, and the #1 most listened to American artist in Africa. Just bc Jay is popular in America doesn't mean he's that popular around the world. I can't even remember the last time Jayz had a Solo hit. Can yall?
The story of oj stop with the jay z disrespect em and jay z both 🐐
@turbomoist1276 Jay is a goat as a figure in hip-hop as well as goated hip-hop business head, but as a rapper..uh no..sorry my guy, but numbers don't lie..public history don't lie..you can look at it from a different perspective, but spade is a spade and facts are just that..facts. Yes, in the U.S. he may be in the goat rapper convo..but the most of the rest of the world knows him more aa Beyonce's husband. I was in England when Nas murked him on ether. People literally stopped listening to him. He won't really taken seriously after that. Remember? That was the first time "retired". How many hits has he dropped by himself? He went on a world tour with Linkin Park, Beyonce, and kanye. What other rapper EVER had a press conference to announce retirement? Just so he vould finesse his way with a "come back" album. How many cadences, lines, and lyrics has he copped from other artists and acted like he came up with the sht? Never showing appreciation. Didn't he take "99 problems" from ice t. Never asked. Never given credit. What about all the sht from Biggie or Camron? Idk, however, your entitled to have whoever you want on your list for whatever reason, although, i can only assume if Jay is on your goated list...Drake is right next to him..
@@lalathedonna5223 Bit late of a reply but thank you for spitting straight facts, Em is a real one and people around the world no matter the race respect him
My top 5... Eminem, Lil Wayne, 2pac, Biggie, Jadakiss
Like Eminem or not he's still your favorite rappers favorite rapper.
“Yeah to my babies, stay strong your dad will be home soon and to the rest of the world god gave you them shoes that fit you. So put em on and wear em. Be yourself man. Be proud of who you are. And even if it sounds corny, don’t ever let no one tell you, you ain’t beautiful.” That’s the ending you missed
And to add on a little bought me! I'm from Cincinnati Ohio, i lived this man's life! And I'm still here, the lose of my mother, my father, almost all my family, and I'm just like him, still moving on,. but I don't have his money or fame. Lol, but he is the best rapper of all time
Play him Renegade with Em & Jay!! But do the live version!!
Em and Jay, Rakim, Biggie, Pac and Nas....top 7...no particular order!!
Eminem THE
GOAT
given from hearing eminem’s verse of forever and kanye then went back and rewrote his lyrics, em all day
This song still hits hard till this day damn 🔥
Fast forward 6 months after they listened to the newer lyrical wordplay filled stuff and some crazy SSLP/MMLP stuff from Eminem and all the doubters have changed their minds.
You love to see it! :)
No one is on this man's level. Regardless of their skin color.
I luv this song by Em....its super personal
You guys crack me up. As a 40 yr old white male growing up in Michigan at the height of Ems stardom, it's awesome to see you guys experience some of the music we waited desperately to be released. I will fly out to do a video of "Quiter" and "Girls."
Jay one of my favorite artists of all time but 90% of his songs are just flexin songs. No other rapper has the range that Eminem has but Em is not for everybody.
Cartier Fam never disappoints, i made a lot of black friends in the Army through hip hop and rap as a white guy who grew up in the desert of AZ. You guys would probably make great serviceman 🫡🤙Ya'll are awesome. I love you guys
Em would KILL IT!! LIKE HE DOES ALWAYS!! WAYNE IS A CLOSE SECOND
One of my favorite songs of his.
In no particular order for me it's
Pac, Big, and Em. If I get a 4th I'd argue DMX or Bone Thugs
Superman- Eminem
If you want your friend to be a little more impressed, that song is goated, and for the love of god don’t do the clean version for that song, it’ll be silent half of it
Till I Collapse should get some credit too.
Should do this song again with Brandon
I have to speak on this... LOL your thoughts of "the elephant in the room" are legit, no doubt about it, but it's still not fair to disregard Eminems talent due to it. Not to talk about his impact... I'm a fully grown woman from Sweden, who got exposed to hip-hop, and grew to love it, mainly because of Eminem. His songs played on the radio, on MTV and stuff like that when I grew up. I'd heard a few hip-hop songs before, like 2 Pac and Busta rhymes, but since Em came along, always promoting and paying homage to other rappers, he definitely helped turning me into the lover of hip-hop I am today. I'm fully aware that his skincolor was of significance, but does it really matter, if the fact he's white actually helped expand hiphop? I don't see how that's bad. I mean, there are obviously a bunch of doors to break down still, but Eminem definitely helped pushing the culture forwards! Trust me. ❤
EMINEM is the Greatest lyricist of all time, no one comes close, absolutely NO ONE.
Hey hey guys great reaction as always love smiling and laughing with you guys..... As far as best going with PAC both that you're surprised but since he "passed" it's been Em, many have tried many have come close lots have done a hell of a job but Em is on another level of talent....
I love Eminem he is about to be inducted into the rock and roll hall of fame boys ❤️👏🏾❤️
I promise you if you’re a White dude who loves hip hop you sub more brown skin than white skin artists. Now I ain’t sayin skin colour ain’t an issue full stop. It just ain’t the whole reason for this man’s success. Fact is he just does it as good, if not better than most.
FACTS
yeah i dont think people who bring up that argument understand how the world works. Just statistically alone for hip hop to bring the numbers it does every rapper out there will have a majority of white fans, thats just what the demographics are. I dont understand people who think all the numbers for jayz are from black fans and ems are from white fans for example. its just not statistically likely. Also cant speak for everyone but for me i cant say i have ever sat and gone wow a fellow white man i must support him. The majority in my country is white, a white dude to me is just another dude. My mind isnt wired to think i have to care about this dude because he happens to be the same colour, like why the fuck would i care.
You need too hear the full song
This song never gets old man!!! Its a vibe!!! 🙌
Produced by Eminem 🎹🔥🔥
Remember that Eminem destroyed Jay-Z on renegade and destroyed Kanye, Wayne and Drake on forever
Eminem checks all the box as a rapper. Cadence, story telling, flow, bars, etc.... React Eminems Unaccommodating ft Young Ma.

3. Slimshady
4. Superman
5. B rabbit
6. Document shredder
7. Riddle
8. Smoothie
9. Rap God

2) renegade - jayz,eminem
2pac, Eminem, T.I
I've seen em in concert at the metlife stadium and the whole stadium was sold out and not to many people can do that
Personal opinion: best rappers of all time, in terms of where they're from. West coast, 2Pac. East coast, Rakim. Midwest, Shady all day. Down south, Scarface.
