my fav is " I'm Russian like a Ukrainian LaDanian Tomlinson." LT was one of the best running backs of all time. hence "Rushing" and Ukraine used to be apart of the USSR.
Bradley Banford I feel what you're saying sometimes I question if Jesus Christ were to battle Eminem Who would win forgive me God Eminem truly is a rap god if God was a rapper it would be Eminem
This is just an example of why he is the best rapper ever, no other person can keep a rhyme scheme that long, while incorporating that much wordplay, punchlines, while still telling a story at the same time, not to mention many switches in flow, pure fire
Sadly, for all the haters of Eminem. It will take him leaving the game or dying to understand just how excellent he is as an artist. I'm grateful I was able to grow up during the Eminem era. He's special no doubt
@Dan, the one and only But Em has done it time and time again also Legecy and ton of other songs hes done it soooooooooooo many times i can't keep track (no pun intended)
@@panpsyren6406 Not yet, but in 8 months I have gotten better. I don't stop and I wont stop till I'm near the top, since em is the king I'd just be a right hand deciple Also you don't have to listen
its makes u laugh but he is great at wordplay. Its not that great but I doubt many rappers in the game can make that kinda stuff up that's why he is a great lyricist
I’m glad I can come to the comments of this song and see how many other people can see these godlike like lyrics. Good to see other people understand this.
This is why i prefer the newer Eminem. He's less focused on being funny and more focused on his sick word play and punch lines. It's amazing that he can still come up with these amazing rhymes when he's this far into his career. GOAT
Josh Schmidt I agree. Old em was more shock value and hilarious. But now that I'm older I appreciate more complex bars and if he can still be funny and shocking at the same time it's a bonus.
One of his best songs. Punchlines insane. Good story telling. Amazing lyrics and wordplay. Amazing flow. Rhyme scheme stays consistent almost through the entire song. Fucking wild
I really don't understand why Baby and this track are bonus tracks and not on the normal album tracklist, swear to god Encore, Recovery and MMLP2 all have bonus tracks that should be on the main tracklist replacing some weaker songs that are actually there Relapse is the only album where the bonus tracks are on-par rather than superior to the main songs
Nobody can rap like this guy. There are other lyrical rappers, who I'd consider to be close competitors, but his ability to change up his flow in every song, and have the word play that he does, is what makes me believe that he dominates the rap game. He's held down mainstream rap for a decade and a half. You'll never find a rapper who can do this in their 40s again. Trust me.
Kyle Smith I swear people forget about the song Legacy. He does the same thing, cept through the entire song. Then there's Right For Me, where each verse uses a certain rhyming scheme while rhyming his ass off.
Yeah em is the best when it comes to rhyme schemes and multies. I have listened to a lot of mcs from rakim, pun, nas, to biggie etc. but eminem takes the top spot when it come to the technical rhyming aspect
4:13 And the next thing I know something came ( something that came means a killer or a criminal and shady xv 's cover is of Jason whooreeves the killer) Crawling up from below(revival) Something that made Godzilla (in music to by murdered by) Look like a plane(kamikaze) Damn em worked around this line
"Promising complete dominance, Sugar Ray Robinson I'm in a league Muhammad's in, Ali's my colleague bombing 'em Probably end up on top of 'em, stomping 'em like Ndamukong I'm Russian like a Ukrainian, LaDainian Tomlinson" GENIUS
“And one day, my uncle Ronnie brought over this New but different, music into the picture and it became my New religion…I REMEMBER IT CLEARLY. EVEN TODAY.” That always gives me goosebumps. Eminem literally giving us a detailed imagery on the very SECOND, he became Eminem.
+Sean Mounts Stop hating dude, you can have your opinion, sure, but so can other people, it's an Eminem song, so you're going to get hate. Em is a genius in every sorts, and so are other rappers. But Em is currently the best that is still alive.
+MICHEAL HUMPHREY Hey Mike dont make sense saying anything to him, haters will always hate and he will forever be warped in his own opinion. I mean we're living in an age now of whipping and nae naeing and these kids today will prob think thats the best thing they ever heard. It's ok if he thinks Rakim is still doing it, he prob come from and appreciate that time in hip hop. BUt to discount Em like he's not even good anymore is ridiculous. There'll never be a greatest of all time but if you have him in the top 10, then he is one of the greatest...the closest that can match Em word play is Biggie
Sean Mounts I don't know, I dickride Em, and don't think he has fallen off, but also listen to a lot more artists recently. I still think he's the greatest of all time, than any other emcee. But that's just me.
+bolenz1 I'm sure I have, this entire album is so underappreciated with his wordplay.... I've listened to the whole thing a million times and every time I think I've caught everything there's something else I've missed lol!
this is my second favorite Eminem album (and if I'm being honest, that means my second favorite album ever by anyone) behind TES. so much honesty, emotion, and raw skill on both of them
You make it sound as though he carried 1 rhyme throughout this entire song... it would make more sense on a song where he actually did that. I'm not sure if he has yet.
This song is so hard, Eminem is the epitome of hip hop and lyricism. Think about his bars and word play no other rapper is this witty and puts together verses like this especially not in today’s rap. Well done shady this why your the G.O.A.T
holy fuck read this it has to do with GHD (groundhog day) Eminem delivers the best quatrain of the year : So what does Eminem do here. One, he wants a total focus on rhyming. Literally every word apart from “Like/my/I’m” are feeding into the rhyme scheme. This leads to almost 95% rhyming match, something that the bars you link don’t have. He’s also holding an 8 syllable rhyme scheme in the first couplet. Eight! That’s impressive in its own right, but he goes one step further. He keeps this quatrain under one motif. Sports. So wrestling and Football. He starts it off with a wrestling metaphor, saying that he’ll dominate like the famous boxer, Sugar Ray Robinson. He’s also in the same league that Muhammad’s in. So in the best rappers of all time. Muhammed Ali is his colleague, furthering the metaphor. He’s bombing them with his rap. He’s destroying his competition so much so that he’ll end up on top of them like Ndamukong, a Detroit Lion’s football player who’s known for stomping his competition LITERALLY. He’s Russian - Rush-in' so he’s Rushing like the football player, Ladanian Tomlinson. AND THAT’S NOT IT! He’s also Russian and YOUR-CRANIUM which is a slant-homophone of Ukranian. Rushin' at your cranium is a double entendre for lyrics pouring into your brain as well as him literally rushing you like a football player… AND THAT’S NOT FUCKING IT YET. Ukrainian is a slant-homophone of the word Uranium, which is a prime substance in bombs, relating it back to the line “Bombing Em'”.
mark Balentine Beautifully broken down. The whole song is nuts. More word play than I think people really notice. I honestly have been listening to this song for about 2 weeks n continuously find there's a double meaning for damn near every line, phrase or rhyme. love this track
"flow vomits in your face, competitors fall at my waist, you spit a rhyme, i spit in a rhymes face" I love that. The whole song has some incredible lyrics
Yellow Brick Road Part II. It's a crime that this didn't make the album - especially when considering that many of the tracks on that LP are continuations of past ones.
That's actually not what he says. The lyrics are "the goat just ate 8 acres and 1/8th of that was just to make a path and take it straight to your favorite rapper"
He keeps the same "icious" rhyme scheme for over 2 minutes. Superstitious, suspicious, he even pronounces "this shit" in such a way that it rhymes well.
John It’s not just “icious”, it’s the entire word “superstitious”, 4 syllables. Superstitious, grew suspicious, stupid pigeons, etc. Not to mention the internal rhymes crammed in there (stoop, pooped, group,) all rhyming with the first syllable of the aforementioned 4 syllable rhyme scheme. He’s literally the GOAT.
The "this shit" etc that makes something rhyme when you say it normally doesnt, is called a slanted rhyme. Like they say you cant rhyme orange.. orange - doorhinge its not a direct rhyme but the way it can be pronounced makes it a slanted rhyme
parker crews nah... This is no doubt fire. But to me Relapse is unbeatable. I think it’s too dark for most but still his best work in my opinion. Relapse from start to finish is a lyrical masterpiece.
To all the people who are saying this should have been on the original CD and not the deluxe edition have completely misunderstood a album named MMLP2, that is a sequal to MMLP. Lyrically, Monster is a grown up version of The Way I Am. How the fame is like a monster to him. If you have heard MMLP, then you know why a song like Asshole is on MMLP2.
Romy Taylor I somewhat side with you on this. I really don't think you can say that the finished product is a true continuation of TMMLP (if it was, we'd have a lot more reactionary songs and verses grappling with fame and media double standards etc.). Of course, that's not to say there aren't any similar aspects but still. I think Eminem chose the title TMMLP2 because he looks upon the original as his definitive album. He clearly wanted to put something together that in his mind approximated or bettered his major label sophomore in terms of scope, quality, personal importance and artistry. This is what most artists tend to do when they reuse a title and add a numeral. It's quite obvious that there are elements of all of his albums on TMMLP2 ("So Much Better" sounds like an updated "Puke" and Brainless would have sounded right at home on TSSLP or Relapse). For this reason, I would argue that Groundhog Day would work just fine as an album track (it's a sequel to Yellow Brick Road in a sense and details a vital part of dude's history). If you want another reason, the album is, frankly, fairly messy to begin with. I don't see how any kind of additional track could reduce its coherence drastically and it just so happens that Groundhog Day is stronger than at least half of the existing album.
To be quite honest, it would be near impossible for Eminem to pick up where TMMLP left off. For one, he'd have to be in a very specific headspace and somehow marry years of artistic endeavour to one era. Also, though the scenarios may be different, most of the themes on TMMLP are present on TSSLP and The Eminem Show (a proper trilogy). You'd have to pull a blinder to craft something that strongly resembles that record without it sounding like the preceding and subsequent ones.
***** I disagree with almost everything. Although some of the productions on TMMLP2 carry a similarly murky, hazy vibe to those on the original, the album is closer to Recovery more than anything else sonically (and even that's a stretch). I don't buy Eminem on that front at all. Almost nothing here sounds like early '00s Dre or Bass Brothers. As for Groundhog Day not fitting, it's not unlike Legacy and Evil Twin in that it consciously dips into the past and the manner in which the sample is embedded in the song is similar to Rhyme Or Reason and Love Game. There are several themes at play on TMMLP2, not one. Groundhog Day would complement those already listed and add a new dimension to the album.
Romy Taylor survival needed to be on there not bec it has something to do with mmlp but he HAD to put it on there cause 'twas used for call of duty theme song.
It's definitely one if his most underrated and unheard songs from that time... But at the same point thats just my circle of people. They dont know what they're missing out on for real.
@@AngryBlondEFTW yeah fucking right lol Eminem has not lost it at all yes facts he is getting older not younger but my god the man is fucking machine on the MIC!
People are so dumb. Obviously this wont be MMLP ... he's 40 some odd. Now he's actually concentrating on his direction he wants to take with his music. Listen to MMLP2 a couple more times. Lyrically hes a genious so many hidden things he has in this album. This is his best album! He has a bit of everything. And people shouldn't be mad what do you expect from him. He's still fire!!!! The fact he made a MMLP2 at this age is genious. I cant wait for his other album. If you like all the other shit about killing people listen to his old shit. Eminem forever! Straight up
so true the only Eminem album I like more is TES, and only barely. if his next album is anything like what he did on MMLP2 and 2015, it's probably going to be his best yet
Eminem's wordplay on this is next level. God have mercy.
It's damn good! Baby and wicked ways are genius also. Lots of lyric mistakes in this video though
there's a reason no one will step to his level
my fav is " I'm Russian like a Ukrainian LaDanian Tomlinson." LT was one of the best running backs of all time. hence "Rushing" and Ukraine used to be apart of the USSR.
yeah he has quite a few goodies on this track thatll make you think when you hear them

one of the most underrated Eminem tracks.
the most!!!
+Angel Alvarez tbh I think fine line is his most underrated
+Jesus Bravo he has lots of underrated songs. i like all of them lol.
All his songs are under rated.. except for ass like that, my first single, just lose it, puke, and rain man
this shits on any song ever released. So good people dont even talk about it feel bad for him
This is just an example of why he is the best rapper ever, no other person can keep a rhyme scheme that long, while incorporating that much wordplay, punchlines, while still telling a story at the same time, not to mention many switches in flow, pure fire

You do realize this song is 3 years old.
Lukas Drayna yes. This is how he's been rapping since recovery.
+Josh Schmidt you're right. Em is always good. But "drug free" em is so smart
Trey Martin nah I'll ask any true hip hop head and they'll agree that he's still killing shit.
Josh Schmidt I agree. Old em was more shock value and hilarious. But now that I'm older I appreciate more complex bars and if he can still be funny and shocking at the same time it's a bonus.
Every time Em drops an album I'm like well there goes the next grammy! Dude is on another level lyrically nobody can compete...this song proves it.
One of his best songs. Punchlines insane. Good story telling. Amazing lyrics and wordplay. Amazing flow. Rhyme scheme stays consistent almost through the entire song. Fucking wild
How can you not like this, this shits on everything.
the sound effects feel like they're part of the lyrics/flow. which makes it even better.
Agreed. I think this song would have to be the best one yet on MMLP2. Either this or Don't Front even though it's not on the album.
Tyron Turner don't forget Baby
MMLP 2 is his 4th best album, there are like 10 songs that are just timeless.
I really don't understand why Baby and this track are bonus tracks and not on the normal album tracklist, swear to god Encore, Recovery and MMLP2 all have bonus tracks that should be on the main tracklist replacing some weaker songs that are actually there

Few years from now in the future musicians will be studying every Eminem track ever made to learn how to write cleaver intricate lyrics.
He said "all i have is bars for you dumbells cause YOURS aint working out"*
And let the words lift
After like 3 years of listening to it I was recently repeating the verse and I realized it was a reference to working out. I was mind blown ..

So wrestling and Football. He starts it off with a wrestling metaphor, saying that he’ll dominate like the famous boxer, Sugar Ray Robinson. He’s also in the same league that Muhammad’s in. So in the best rappers of all time.
Muhammed Ali is his colleague, furthering the metaphor. He’s bombing them with his rap. He’s destroying his competition so much so that he’ll end up on top of them like Ndamukong, a Detroit Lion’s football player who’s known for stomping his competition LITERALLY.
He’s Russian - Rush-in' so he’s Rushing like the football player, Ladanian Tomlinson.
AND THAT’S NOT IT!
He’s also Russian and YOUR-CRANIUM which is a slant-homophone of Ukranian. Rushin' at your cranium is a double entendre for lyrics pouring into your brain as well as him literally rushing you like a football player…

I really don't think you can say that the finished product is a true continuation of TMMLP (if it was, we'd have a lot more reactionary songs and verses grappling with fame and media double standards etc.). Of course, that's not to say there aren't any similar aspects but still. I think Eminem chose the title TMMLP2 because he looks upon the original as his definitive album. He clearly wanted to put something together that in his mind approximated or bettered his major label sophomore in terms of scope, quality, personal importance and artistry. This is what most artists tend to do when they reuse a title and add a numeral. It's quite obvious that there are elements of all of his albums on TMMLP2 ("So Much Better" sounds like an updated "Puke" and Brainless would have sounded right at home on TSSLP or Relapse). For this reason, I would argue that Groundhog Day would work just fine as an album track (it's a sequel to Yellow Brick Road in a sense and details a vital part of dude's history). If you want another reason, the album is, frankly, fairly messy to begin with. I don't see how any kind of additional track could reduce its coherence drastically and it just so happens that Groundhog Day is stronger than at least half of the existing album.
To be quite honest, it would be near impossible for Eminem to pick up where TMMLP left off. For one, he'd have to be in a very specific headspace and somehow marry years of artistic endeavour to one era. Also, though the scenarios may be different, most of the themes on TMMLP are present on TSSLP and The Eminem Show (a proper trilogy). You'd have to pull a blinder to craft something that strongly resembles that record without it sounding like the preceding and subsequent ones.
***** I disagree with almost everything. Although some of the productions on TMMLP2 carry a similarly murky, hazy vibe to those on the original, the album is closer to Recovery more than anything else sonically (and even that's a stretch). I don't buy Eminem on that front at all. Almost nothing here sounds like early '00s Dre or Bass Brothers.
As for Groundhog Day not fitting, it's not unlike Legacy and Evil Twin in that it consciously dips into the past and the manner in which the sample is embedded in the song is similar to Rhyme Or Reason and Love Game.
There are several themes at play on TMMLP2, not one. Groundhog Day would complement those already listed and add a new dimension to the album.
Romy Taylor survival needed to be on there not bec it has something to do with mmlp but he HAD to put it on there cause 'twas used for call of duty theme song.
It's definitely one if his most underrated and unheard songs from that time... But at the same point thats just my circle of people. They dont know what they're missing out on for real.
How tf would someone even start beefing with this guy??? DAMN🔥🔥🔥🔥
He said he's still in that mind state to battle, just name a time and place. Lol. MGK didn't know how hard it would suck getting creamed by Em

This is one of the most lyrical hip hop songs ever written/ spittin
So many eminem tracks where the dude simply goes off and everybody ignores... this song is worth more than any mumble rapper's carreer
Yeah and then they'll say shit like Eminem lost it
@@AngryBlondEFTW yeah fucking right lol Eminem has not lost it at all yes facts he is getting older not younger but my god the man is fucking machine on the MIC!
Beat is omg i cant explain its just excellent
This is a different level of lyricism
@FanMadeEmineAlbums are they out of there fucking minds did they not listen to KILLSHOT AT ALL?
Eminem is an alien who ate dictionary and spitting flows of lyrics.. Woaahh
People say em' fell off smh.
+Trey Martin one of his most recent was headlights or guts over fear and they are really good bitch
never. fall off never
+Trey Martin KINGS NEVER DIE
whats smh
+John Smith shaking my head
The scheme of his rhymes is crazy on this track. He rhymes the same syllables for virtually the whole song. And stays on topic
Eminem was on the Russia Ukraine chaos years ahead
This is one of his best songs...anytime someone hates on eminem I refer them to this song.
Only possible reason your not feeling this album is because his wordplay is to much for your small mind to comprehend
Some people just not that into wordplay. That’s just how it is.
Me on the otger hand love wordplay, and Em nails it
@@Rellemann23 some people are not into intelligence. Correct. Too many people, actually.
damn i am blessed that i was born in the GOAT'S ERA OF EMINEM
DAMNNNNNN THIS SONG IS JUST BEYOND MAH SUPERVISION
People are so dumb. Obviously this wont be MMLP ... he's 40 some odd. Now he's actually concentrating on his direction he wants to take with his music. Listen to MMLP2 a couple more times. Lyrically hes a genious so many hidden things he has in this album. This is his best album! He has a bit of everything. And people shouldn't be mad what do you expect from him. He's still fire!!!! The fact he made a MMLP2 at this age is genious. I cant wait for his other album. If you like all the other shit about killing people listen to his old shit. Eminem forever! Straight up
I'm still finding shit in Recovery xD I like mmlp2 but I personally think that that the Eminem show was the best.
True dat
He's got another album coming?
so true the only Eminem album I like more is TES, and only barely. if his next album is anything like what he did on MMLP2 and 2015, it's probably going to be his best yet
there is no reason for his new albums not to be better than his older stuff IMO. age and music are irrelevant with each other I think so.
Eminem is my favorite rapper for 11 years straight. Pretty sure this wont change ever.........
Only 11 ?

No one today is able to do staff like this!
1ST TIME HEARING THIS SONG TODAY..NOW I GOTTA GO BACK IN TIME TO CATCH UP WITH THESE LYRICS
THATS INSANE
A lesson in lyricism.
All these years I just understood “ pretending to be blind Superman, because I had no SUPERVISION….”
He’s honestly so under rated
I just heard this for the first time ever. For some reason, I felt like I wanted to RKO every annoying boss at work.
So underrated 🔥🔥🔥👌
No one compares...
Eminem is already a legend. He is my favourite artist of all time with a fucking good reason.
Llookin like a dog that’s pissin, leg up on the competition 🔥🔥
