Im 40, so I was in high school during Em's prime. I had a friend who said he didn't like this song, and I gave him the "wtf" face. We aren't friends anymore. Soldier goes so fuckin hard. Timeless music
The Eminem show was hands-down, one of the best albums ever created. When that came out, I remember every single person at the gym that I knew had that on repeat.
@@brandonsimmons1695 I easily pick TES. I think it is when we still had him at that emotional stage of his life but the ability on the mic and in the production booth had gone up another level.
He produced the beats to his most popular songs . The way I am , not afraid , soldier , wicked ways most of them . I really don't know why dre gets all the credit
@@Mharve He gets the credit because EP is still a big role and he was responsible for the overall direction and sound of a most of his classic albums. He also taught him how to produce along with the Bass brothers (a bit). I also love Relapse personally and Dre produced every single song. But yeah, Em deserves more credit as a producer.
The Eminem Show was my musical bible growing up. The entire album was a direct result of him studying Tupac and is when he was at his highest level of mastery of what he learned studying Tupac's delivery
@@marshmellow-tuff I don't mean mastery in the sense that you do because I agree with your statement. What I mean is mastery of what he learned from studying Tupac's delivery. To give a better idea of what that means to me...I've always described Tupac's delivery as "dripping with emotion" Tupac isn't great because of his technical rhyme schemes or over the top wordplay...it was his delivery and over all musicality. The Eminem Show was the era in which Eminem had the highest mastery of that specific tupac-esque delivery and THAT is what people describe as "old em". At least that's my opinionated conclusion from the data my perspective has provided. Always open to counter arguments and thoughts from different perspectives!
@@marshmellow-tuff I would like to add that I do feel like he's been tapping into to it more and more again and that his overdose (I think) may have caused some sort of something that made it hard for him to connect to that level of musicality and soul filled vibe he displayed on this album
@@andrewsears16 Yeah I know what you mean. I'm not arguing that statement. Just the general consensus is most people crap on him after this album. Which I don't understand. I love all his albums always have. To me he is the GOAT because he can do it all at the highest level or above. Delivery, Flows, Passion, Storytelling, Rhyme schemes, Cadence, Speed, Clarity, the list can go on and on. The fact that so much of his life relates to mine only make me feel it more.
@@andrewsears16why do you think this flow is pacs & not like Ems rock bottom SSLP or Stan, the way I am, drug ballad MMLP before the Eminem show? Ems passion & conviction in his voice is why I fell in love with his music besides the fact he’s an insanely talented lyricist. It’s like I can feel his pain in my own veins. He’s had it even before SSEP if you rewatch his old battle rap footage so its not pacs delivery but I can see why your making that connection as pac & em are both from the 90s & 2 of the most known rappers beloved for the intensity of their unique voices. Their the only 2 to make me cry from rap songs cos of the raw emotion in how they spit, ems had it in so many songs since TES too like lose yourself, castle, arose, believe, I need a dr, medicine man, mockingbird, when I’m gone. Busta & DMX are also known for the energy & intensity in their voices not bars but I wouldn’t say Em & pac are using bustas or Dmx’s delivery. Their all inspired by each other as artists tho so it’s no harm either way don’t want you to think I’m arguing just discussing what you said.
@@Spectrum012250 cents get rich or die trying has sold 19m albums and is No. 3 on the list, I checked the RACC which tracks album sales. Em has 1 and 2, 50 is 3, Tupac is 4 and Ye is 5( worldwide sales chart)
Marshall is just built different but in mostly the best ways possible. His ability to mince words and the creativity to coincide is simply unmatched imo.
This is one of my fav Em songs ever! I play it all the time espec in workouts & in the car it stills bangs 🔥 His flow is like butter & the lyrics are so motivating 💪
I think his flow on "Business" is one of If not his best. This is my top 3 favorite songs though... flows, cadence, beat, subject matter, catchy af, and has my favorite verse. V3
I listen to this song once a day its on my playlist. Ive had it on my playlist for years. Ive been an Em fan for almost 21 years. In the back of me on my youtube picture is a framed picture of Em from 2009 I've been saying this for years, this song is one of his most slept on coldest songs he's ever written. You can hear the anger in his voice in this. For all the people who talk shit about Em, back in the day he was crazy as hell and carried a gun with him everywhere even on stage during concerts.
This is the Eminem everyone yearns for. Not that pop sounding fack crap. This is the 🔥 that was lit under my ass back in high school. Rock Bottom is another fav.
My favorite line from this song has always been "Listen to the sound of me spillin my heart through this pen; Mthrfckrs know that I'll never be Marshall again."
he references this skit moment in another song on this album, sing for the moment when he says "You're full of shit too, Guerrera, that was a fist that hit you! (Bitch!)"
I was too young to experience all of Eminem bc I was born in 98 but I specifically remember getting this cd as a child and it literally changed my life
This. Fucking. Reaction…..is absolutely just YES this is absolutely my favorite from the beat to his lyrics the way you can feel just the passion coming out of him not to mention the intro kills me everytine thank you guys for what you do I’m so glad I found this channel
“About 50 years old.” Hands down the funniest shit I’ve heard in a while. I believe he was 28 or 29 when the Eminem show came out. In “Square dance” he says “I’m 28, they’ll take you before they take me.”
I made the afghan comment while you were doing live. I was surprised when you called it out. I was talking to someone else in chat lol love watching yall
Over 40 here... this came out 2 years after I left the Army and was in my second year of college. Gym worthy, pre-drinking worthy, wake-up and kick the day's ass worthy. Great review. Great song.
This song is certified fire. Portugal here for the GOAT Eminem since day one and forever. Thanks for reacting to this legendary masterpiece. Salutes and respect.
this was one of the first tracks i heard when i was 13 ; im 37 now and this is still one of his hardest flows , he snaps on this ;not to mention this chorus is so damn motivational ; it got me through somuch crap in my life
This song is a perfect example of using his voice as percussion. It makes the song I think, His ability to tap into hat rage filled state is my favorite part about him
Growing up in a house that only listened to rock and metal, I never ever really heard rap like that. I remember hearing this song, and having an epiphany. It revolutionized my thinking about the genre and music as a whole. His way with words ability to evoke emotion is uncanny.
I grew up with the 🐐 and was one of the ‘kids’ he was talking to thru his career, his stardom was something never to be seen again with how much content/info/options we can consume today.
Is it just me or in verse 3 he says he spits and the rhyme sounds like the sound of a spit? when he ends the line "rockin to it" it sounds like "howk tuah" GENIUS
The discussion about how it is to be a rapper made me think of the blooper from 'funny people' where Eminem says 'I cant let my guard down and get popped by ray romano' 🤣
Great reaction guys! This is one of my top 5 favorite eminem track. Another one of my favorites is Talkin’ 2 Myself from Recovery. Maybe at some point, you guys can react to that track and give your guys thoughts on it. But keep up the great work guys!
This is one of those 🔥🔥🔥. Make sure you guys check out the live version from the anger management tour. Energy unmatched! The CHILLS. Waited so long for this reaction it was fire.
What i think she ment at the end and i agree about flow and beat is its amazing how rappers can come up with their own flow, Eminem has a sick flow in general and it's like he was gifted with flow lol theres a reason you were bobbing the shit out of his flow is its magical different then other rappers
Em produced the beat...It's hard, every time he gets on one of his own beats he get in the most insane pocket and flows so well he's just intertwined the beat.
15:11 You need to like watch toy soldiers as a way to see the dynamics of early em high em was buckwild. He literally was willing to do anything to make a statement rather it was his anger or just being a goof. He also accepted everything that came with it & owned up to it he was 10 toes down. He still is to a point but he’s now focused on being there for his family no matter what
Definitely a top 5 em track. I can’t think of the other 4 right now but his flow on this song is INSANE and his anger makes me think of the angriest Pac tracks.
The lyrics were wrong ... I'm pretty sure he says " I SPIT THE ILLEST SHIT EVER , THEY DRIVE ME TO IT " .... Not 2 inch ....🦭 Btw , I freaking love you guyziz reactions 💯
You know what’s funny,Is the fact that TONS of his original fans like myself from when he FIRST hit the scene have been saying this exact shit your saying calling him crazy,amazing etc we’ve been saying that shit dissecting his songs 25 years ago always praying for the next album and for the past 4 years people are starting to finally pay attention to the SKILLS this man has that the stans have been saying for years lololol this guy is literally second to none his pen will probably never happen again when he’s gone
Do “above the law “and “take from me” short songs but both about 3:30 seconds would love to here your takes. Only place where an influencer reacts, analyzes bar structure, lyrics, and rhyme scheme all at once. Keep up the good work your modern day musical historians . Documenting past and present musical artwork super important.
![Jack Harlow - Hello Miss Johnson [Official Music Video]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/Q86_nlRoIGw/mqdefault.jpg)
The flow, the anger, the lyrics everything is perfection, it's like he is punching holes on a wall with that agressive cadence
Im 40, so I was in high school during Em's prime. I had a friend who said he didn't like this song, and I gave him the "wtf" face. We aren't friends anymore. Soldier goes so fuckin hard. Timeless music
What was he bumpin Madonna 😂
37 here…. I was not high bumping this… but I was bumping it. High now😂
@@Hunt4HypertrophyU so High u misread his comment 😂
39 here, freshman when MMLP dropped, junior for Eminem Show and Soldier was on loop in the weight room, Get Rich or Die Trying was senior year.
I’m 35, I was in middle school, n yup, I feel that 😂
The Eminem show was hands-down, one of the best albums ever created. When that came out, I remember every single person at the gym that I knew had that on repeat.
I think when you add everything up it is his best album.
Like imagine producing majority of your own album to it being the best selling hip hop album of all time? Legendary.
Spinning in the Walkman!
Choosing between this and the Marshall Matthers LP I’d like picking a favorite kid
@@brandonsimmons1695 I easily pick TES. I think it is when we still had him at that emotional stage of his life but the ability on the mic and in the production booth had gone up another level.
This is one of Ems best songs. All the verses are cold af. Especially the last one.
This album is amazing! The way he uses his angry voice inflection is so good. New Em is amazing. Old Em is amazing. EM IS AMAZING!!!
“Who needs bullets as soon as I pull it you sweat bullets.” That bar was to 🔥
Sweat
@@JesusisKing202 thank you
An excellent method to get rid of the next bully 😏
He actually did that in real life.
One of the best Eminem tracks ever in my opinion... Beat wise and lyric wise... EMINEM RULEZ!!!!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Eminem produced this beat. He produced a lot of 50 beats.
He produced the beats to his most popular songs . The way I am , not afraid , soldier , wicked ways most of them . I really don't know why dre gets all the credit
@@Mharve He gets the credit because EP is still a big role and he was responsible for the overall direction and sound of a most of his classic albums. He also taught him how to produce along with the Bass brothers (a bit). I also love Relapse personally and Dre produced every single song.
But yeah, Em deserves more credit as a producer.
@@MharveHe even co-produced Lose Yourself with Luis
@Mharve him producing WW is crazy too
I think he produced every track on TES if I remember correctly
When you hear good, lyric heavy songs like this again after some time has passed you appreciate and understand it more.
Em made the beat, mixed, and produced the record. 100% his own creation
Another Eminem song that gives me chills every time. But he has so many of them.
This is my most listened to Em song. It gets me so hyped for anything I’m about to do.
The Beat and Em being aggressive on it is fire!
one of his best songs. In case you really wanna get on this beat, which i hope, the instrumental is available
The Eminem Show was my musical bible growing up. The entire album was a direct result of him studying Tupac and is when he was at his highest level of mastery of what he learned studying Tupac's delivery
I absolutely love his early work. But I think as far as mastery, he is better now than he ever was. He doesn't have the anger he had back then.
@@marshmellow-tuff I don't mean mastery in the sense that you do because I agree with your statement. What I mean is mastery of what he learned from studying Tupac's delivery.

Watching people react to things i experienced 25 years ago is always crazy.
Eminem in the car listening to eminem is crazy
My exact thought just now lmaooo.
I thought it was Marshall Mathers listening to eminem while being slim shady lol
@@ghost1012it is it’s marshal trying to pull the slim back
This album is now triple diamond
TES and MMLP are two of the top 5 highest selling hiphop albums of all time next to Andre, jay, and big

Not only is this my fav Em song, it was literally my most played song on spotify last year
Em produced this beat
the guitar is just telling the story by itself man🔥🐐
This is one of my fav Em songs ever! I play it all the time espec in workouts & in the car it stills bangs 🔥 His flow is like butter & the lyrics are so motivating 💪
50 Cent rapped over this beat, she may have heard that, and that's what made her think of 50 Cent.
Not just 50... G UNIT
GGGGG Gunit
This was when he had officially hit GOD FLOW.
His flow really became controlled on this album.. controlled fury..
Tapped into that God-ki
I think his flow on "Business" is one of If not his best. This is my top 3 favorite songs though... flows, cadence, beat, subject matter, catchy af, and has my favorite verse. V3
I still remember every word. I used to have this album on repeat
Top 5 Em song
Em is the only musician that I have about 25 songs in my top 5 😂
Flawd saying "this one might be one of my favorites" almost every Eminem reaction. 😂
I listen to this song once a day its on my playlist. Ive had it on my playlist for years. Ive been an Em fan for almost 21 years.

You guys need to listen to Detroit vs Everybody to hear the bars from Big Sean vs the crazy Cadence Em does to that beat.... Banger!
This is the Eminem everyone yearns for. Not that pop sounding fack crap. This is the 🔥 that was lit under my ass back in high school. Rock Bottom is another fav.
Hey man, gotta do "Right for Me," by Em. One of the most lyrically insane songs I've ever heard, from his Shady XV album.
Soldier was def a track I passed when I was younger and listening to the album but I recently found it and I’m obsessed with it. It’s so underrated
My favorite line from this song has always been
"Listen to the sound of me spillin my heart through this pen;
Mthrfckrs know that I'll never be Marshall again."
he references this skit moment in another song on this album, sing for the moment when he says "You're full of shit too, Guerrera, that was a fist that hit you! (Bitch!)"
My all-time favourite Eminem song! Eminem at his absolute best 🔥
I cud rap every word…this is hands down prolly #1 em song for me, i love when he’s in this bag, till i collapse is prolly second
I was too young to experience all of Eminem bc I was born in 98 but I specifically remember getting this cd as a child and it literally changed my life
This is my top 3 Em songs. not many bars, but damit, PURE EMOTION.
This. Fucking. Reaction…..is absolutely just YES this is absolutely my favorite from the beat to his lyrics the way you can feel just the passion coming out of him not to mention the intro kills me everytine thank you guys for what you do I’m so glad I found this channel
This one is definitely in my Em top 10
my favorite album of his
This is my #1 Eminem Workout song, It puts you in that aggressive mode.
“About 50 years old.” Hands down the funniest shit I’ve heard in a while. I believe he was 28 or 29 when the Eminem show came out. In “Square dance” he says “I’m 28, they’ll take you before they take me.”
Crazy insane? Or insane crazy?
@@Hogman926 When I say Hussein….
@@phlatline93 You say: Shady!
Thanks for having fun with me, fellow 31 year old. Lol
This beat is hard af
I made the afghan comment while you were doing live. I was surprised when you called it out. I was talking to someone else in chat lol love watching yall
And I said almost went black on ammo a couple of times. Being black on ammo is a big no no. Gotta be selective when that happens
this is my favorite song from eminem. this is his peak. it doesnt get better than this.
Idc this and sing for the moment are his best songs to me
he a fucking G in his prime
I heard it million time and still have chills..everty time. This is my favorite Em track
Over 40 here... this came out 2 years after I left the Army and was in my second year of college. Gym worthy, pre-drinking worthy, wake-up and kick the day's ass worthy.

This is probably the most PAC like flow and beat I've heard from Em.
I've always liked rap since nwa times, but this was one of those OMG songs for me. Strong, captivating, liquid art
0:44 that would you shut the f* up was legit we all been there at one point 🤣🤣
The discussion about how it is to be a rapper made me think of the blooper from 'funny people' where Eminem says 'I cant let my guard down and get popped by ray romano' 🤣

Yea I second this I love talking 2 myself, Cinderella man, not afraid, no love, love the way you lie, spacebound so many bangers on recovery.
My favorite Eminem song.the energy is unmatchable. Hasn't changed since it was released. Tupac flow went crazy.
My RDC in boot camp played this song when we were about to graduate, so epic.
When u said i got chills.... thats one of the hardest verses ever for em.
This is one of those 🔥🔥🔥. Make sure you guys check out the live version from the anger management tour. Energy unmatched! The CHILLS. Waited so long for this reaction it was fire.

I remember this like it was yesterday, This is in my top 5
I had the same reaction when I first heard it in highschool and still do
i LOVE THIS .. at least yall get rap and bars
One of my favorite songs from my favorite album by him.
Absolutely 🔥.
Ever done “Till Hell Freezes Over”?
First song recorded wit Dre (allegedly)
Eminem’s Hip Hop Anthem! iykyk
A Classic. 💯🐐
The Eminem Show. GOATED Album.
This arguably Em's hardest song ever and one of if not my favorite all time Em joint
Say goodbye to hollywood has also a sick beat
God, I can't wait for the NEW album. Not that all his stuff isn't great, but I'm ready for some new stuff
His most underrated song imo. You won’t see many people rate or even know this song but he is just demolishing that beat the whole time!
You'll need to react to Ems song My 1st Single off of the Encore album..cadence is crazy 🔥🔥
that last verse sounds so diabolical. Like a rapping demon.
Eminem has so many lyrical fuckin bangers ! Hands down the 🐐 idgaf don’t @ me
1:11--Em said "get you every time" cuz he always does that sht! LOL
Haven't been here in a while. Awesome to see you guys with almost 180k subs. Con-FUCKINGgrats!!! God Bless.
i really believe Eminem and his story will be remembered for a verrrrry long time.
great break down , the energy is awesome
One of the hardest songs ever released. It’s impossible to listen to this and not get hyped out of your mind. Fun fact: Em produced this track.
One of my favourite rap songs ever made
Em produced the beat...It's hard, every time he gets on one of his own beats he get in the most insane pocket and flows so well he's just intertwined the beat.
50 also spit a freestyle on this instrumental, at a later date. It was 🔥 too
Yeppppppp 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Finally you did this song
We can all agree angry em puts out hits🔥😭till i collaps, way i am, soldier, evil twin, kim etc
Eminem Show is still the greatest album to ever come out by any artist.
15:11 You need to like watch toy soldiers as a way to see the dynamics of early em high em was buckwild. He literally was willing to do anything to make a statement rather it was his anger or just being a goof. He also accepted everything that came with it & owned up to it he was 10 toes down. He still is to a point but he’s now focused on being there for his family no matter what
Definitely a top 5 em track. I can’t think of the other 4 right now but his flow on this song is INSANE and his anger makes me think of the angriest Pac tracks.
Have you guys done, my dad’s gone crazy ? We need that next !
The lyrics were wrong ... I'm pretty sure he says " I SPIT THE ILLEST SHIT EVER , THEY DRIVE ME TO IT " .... Not 2 inch ....🦭 Btw , I freaking love you guyziz reactions 💯
"To get dropped by two inch" cuz it's a recording tape
That's still Awesome ... love it either way ... I guess that's the beauty ✌️💯
My favourite Em song. Has to be The Kiss first just to get you amped up. 10/10 song on a 10/10 album
You gotta do "say goodbye to Hollywood " next. It's the next song on this album and it's FIIIIIIIRRRRREE
Eminem has a few songs where he talks about some of the stuff that happened like Say Goodbye to Hollywood
You know what’s funny,Is the fact that TONS of his original fans like myself from when he FIRST hit the scene have been saying this exact shit your saying calling him crazy,amazing etc we’ve been saying that shit dissecting his songs 25 years ago always praying for the next album and for the past 4 years people are starting to finally pay attention to the SKILLS this man has that the stans have been saying for years lololol this guy is literally second to none his pen will probably never happen again when he’s gone
Do “above the law “and “take from me” short songs but both about 3:30 seconds would love to here your takes. Only place where an influencer reacts, analyzes bar structure, lyrics, and rhyme scheme all at once.
