    At this point we have to admit Eminem is the Tom Brady of bars. He obviously just has something wiring in this brain that makes this stuff all come easy to him. He can write the bars, fill them with multiple meanings, rhyme in very complex ways, but also have the ability to spit those out in a way that sounds good on a track. That is a skill that is much harder than many may understand.

    The Dalai Lama line is a triple. Nobody ever notices the Salvador Dali reference. Dali was a surreal abstract artist whose works are usually familiar but hauntingly twisted. Melted clocks is his most known work, but he's saying "I could've made shit get real weird and abstract with the Llama (gun)".

      @@stanhenderson9928 I suppose that's possible as well. I think it was more likely to be Dali than Ali just based on the pronunciation and delivery, as well as the fact that Ali didn't go to war/shoot people, and wasn't known for being particularly violent outside the ring, so it makes less sense why he would say he's like him with a gun than my Dali explanation. But this is Eminem we're talking about. He could've meant both.

    This is crazy that you’re reacting to it right now, this is my favorite song ever and the first time I ever heard it was two days after I tried to shoot myself in the head and I was laying in my bed wanting to die hating myself, detoxing from drugs/pills, and I got an alert on my phone from RUclips saying that it just dropped so I gave it a listen and it blew me away especially when he said “Fill up a syllable clip like a refillable SCRIPT”! This song touched me in more ways than I can count and I get goosebumps still to this day every time I hear it so this was awesome watching you react to it three years later or so after I first heard it and I’m still here! Beautiful wife still by my side, three kids, and a job at Ford motor company in Michigan, I have a good life now and I really enjoy watching your react videos Knox! Real talk I appreciate you. Also Eminem‘s recovery CD hits me the most, because I had an addiction to pain medicine just like he did and I had to recover just like he did! So there’s a huge Appreciation to music That has a meaning And anybody that puts their heart and soul into it, because music really is medicine!! I have so much respect and love for those of you that use it as a positive tool to help people or just to give enjoyment, it’s greatly appreciated so thank you

Not done yet! The cut sound makes a *sound* between when he says, “they….powerless”….which sounds like “they sound powerless”…..
    He’s making a homophone AND a double entendre out of literal *sounds*! HE’S NOT EVEN USING WORDS ANYMORE!
    PLUS, the cut sound sounds like “sound”….which means he turned a random damn noise into a TRIPLE HOMOPHONE!!!! Which is impossible, but he did it!

    Yelawolf didn’t fully rap pretty much for the reason you said to setup the perfect song and build up to Em, plus Most rappers try to out rap Em when they are on a track with him and Yela is very original so he did his own thing, even though he is very capable of getting close to Em(obviously not tying or passing him but close)

    em writing these lyrics is incredible.. but it's equally impressive that you can decipher almost all of it without even reading the lyrics, just listening to it is enough.. which is crazy considering the bundle of rhymes, doubles, triples, slants etc em puts in each of his songs..

  • @m.z.8710
    @m.z.8710 Год назад +1

    Blacking out was referring to doing things wrong, losing God's grace (losing the light). The whole sheep/shepherd reference was a reference to Jesus being the shepherd and he's a sheep, but he's also a black sheep (odd one out) and embraces that.

Fuck yes my man! The Sinner/Center line! Nobody even batted an eye at that! I’m only halfway through this video and it’s already so much better then any other reactor. Please, please keep this up. Maybe if everybody watches YOUR em reacting videos then maybe people will REALLY start to see how Eminem never fell off of his GOATNESS. Everybody I talk to nowadays only talks about old em and how he isn’t good anymore. Absolutely blows my mind and immediately puts me in STAN mode lol. Keep it up my man. Seriously. For all of raps sake.

    I personally think this is Em's best verse. The structure alone is amazing. But it also obviously means a lot to him. Some of the craziest flows, the multi-syllable rhymes, the schemes, AND he still gave us doubles. This is my personal favorite from Em. I also agree with you how great the contrast from Yela just tied it all together nicely. One of your better reactions, btw!
