    My interpretation is that the caterpillar represents the older generation of hip-hop, and the butterfly is new/modern rap. Old school hip hop is not as flashy as the new stuff, but its the foundation of the genre and the true essence of the music. Just like a caterpillar isn't as pretty as a butterfly, but its what comes first before going into a cacoon.
    And Em talks about ripping these butterflys out of their cacoons, so he's ending these new generation rappers before they can even become a butterfly.

      Like Don’t disrespect the caterpillar to praise the butterfly.‘ goes moire for eminen. But noth are caterpillars. you’ll praise these guys but gotta tear them down…But eminen knows hip hop better than most people
      He sings
      That I feel like we’re friends, so now we no longer competitors
      That could be the death of you

    • @EmeraldWings90
      @EmeraldWings90 Год назад +7

      Agreed. The confusion is justified because it could have been the other way around - you could also look at caterpillars like the young ones and butterflies as the old and experienced ones, but that's clearly not what they were going for here.

    My opinion its Referencing hip-hop.....don't disrespect the ones that came first " the pioneers ".......can't become the "cream of the crop" that beautiful butterfly and not know how you became what you are.....I've seen so many takes on this analogy,that's what makes true lyricism special when a message can be left to the listeners for interpretation and each perspective can be right in its own meaning.....hands down my top 3 verses of Em, i 39 yrs old grew up on Ems come up and never listened to him like other than the radio tracks we all heard,about 5 years ago I heard a few tracks including this one and I was all in on his catalog, literally at that moment I knew I had been completely biased and ignorant to my reasoning of saying he isn't "true" hip-hop.....cause Em is hip-hop

    The caterpillar symbolizes old school hip-hop, raw and and uncut. Over the years its went through a metamorphosis into late 80's movement, 90's hardcore, mid to late 90 lyricists, etc. The butterfly which the reference is what hip-hop has deteriorated into with this new Gen Z mumble rap

    The butterfly/caterpillar is is rap, and the evolution of rap.
    They are the caterpillars, they represent the origins of rap.. the new rappers are the butterflies, because for them to fly, the OG's had to crawl.
    "Remember when you praisin' the butterfly, Don't you ever disrespect the f*ckin' caterpillar" pointing to himself and Eminem - dont disrespect the OGs, the butterflies exist thanks to them.

  • @pierocignetti8959

    Royce is one of the best lyrical rappers when it comes to bars, he's really underappreciated, he and Eminem had a group called "Bad meets Evil", I recommend their song "Lighters" ft Bruno Mars.
    Good video and reaction! I think the caterpillar vs the butterfly is a comparison of a new generation of rap (mumble rappers) vs the old generation, which to Royce and Em doesn't get enough flowers (when you praising the butterfly, dont you ever disrespect the fucking caterpillar)

    The caterpillar represents the OG rappers the ones that came up with their own flows and their own lyrics and created the foundation of hip hop. When you start off as a caterpillar and you're getting better and better eventually you become a butterfly. The young hip hop artist today they are making them butterflies before they are caterpillars and they disrespecting the OGs of the game which are the caterpillars. I hope that helps a little bit. And the one lyric one Eminem says my offsprings cannot be butterflies They are just moths He's basically saying they're not even worthy of being butterflies.

  • @therappats946

    One short sick line is
    Don’t tell me when I’m supposed to rap until
    (Where he gets the line "I just say whatever I want to whoever I want
    Whenever I want, wherever I want, however I want" from drug ballad
    We where studying eminems lyrics at university
    He uses mozart, stephen king, hamlet and such
    Rhyme scheme thsts impossible
    AND tell a story.
    So some of tge most impossible, teqnucly amazing songs ever written people " how can he sing about raping girls etc"
    Because the story is about serial killers in a certain order
    He just quote them often..ou how newpapers describe them.
    And horror ,movies and othee movie ref.
    The message is , dont trust people
    And he takes the hero role as orincess leia in her golden bikini.
    "Like why people never learn, like horror movies when the girl go back in the house the murder is.
    But also that serial killers get most admire letters from woman, from.all diffent peoole.
    Really really strange.
    If a "bad boy" can be exiting but marry someone in jail that like murder and raped 10 girls?
    I mean its like " its your own fault" if something happen
    Its sad how many masterpieces thats forgotten
    My teacher said " you cant critique whst you dont understand, you dont like it is one thing"
    So hard to critizese him :)
    So basicly in tha line
    he doesn’t box himself in to the traditional 16 bar verse that other rappers strictly adhere to. fact, some of Em’s best verses from short to longn
    with his first verse on the 1999 track, “Bad Meets Evil,” consisting of only 8, albeit incredibly well crafted bars. Conversely, his verse on “Calm Down” consists of a whopping 64 memorable bars
    l in response to Revival’s poor reception, (its def not bad) as it had many fans and critics suggesting he retire from rapping. But no intention of letting others dictate his retirement, as he, and he alone, will decide when it’s time to hang his mic up; he says, “don’t tell me when I’m supposed to rap until.”
    Also
    metaphorical and builds off the previous caterpillar line.wrap themselves in cocoons in order to move on to their next life stage, that is, to transform into butterflies. So Em uses this as a metaphor, implying he’s not going to move on to his next life stage, that is, retire rap game, himself decides he is ready. Which may never actually come, as he said in “Nowhere Fast:”
    "And at the end of my run I’ll just rewind clocks, forever young"
    And he makes perfectly clear rappers cant copy him.
    They dont lnow how.
    You copy me, but you’re not
    You can’t be butterflies, my offsprings are just moths
    I see that thing I’ma squash it and rip the wings of it off
    The line “You copy me, but you’re not” maybee not logical sense, but radio slang ‘copy’, as in “Do you copy?”, where ‘copy’ means ‘understand’. other rappers are trying to be like him, without understanding him..
    So no thier isnt any emimem copies :)
    And Caterpillars can turn into moths as well as butterflies

    In my opinion emcees are Caterpillars, and some get a chance to become full blown butterflies, whether they are colorful or flashy or not, and some bypass the grind and become butterflies before they deserve it. but just because you get the chance to be a Butterfly, (or become #1) dont shit on the Caterpillars, one day you might lose your wings and be a caterpillar again, and then you will be surrounded by the ones who have been out here grinding regardless of if they ever become a butterfly or not. So be careful, be respectful, or be killed by the Caterpillars. Thats my opinion. Again, you rock!!!

    Royce da 59 was st the club first time rapping at hip hop shop so knew eachother since then.
    Eminem also said hes the one understans my lyrics best
    (Most peole are clueless even what the topic in eminems songs, i know atleast 20 songs no reactor been close to
    But iam obsessed to understsnd whst he means
    He put thia clues in like " the song lsnt about what you thinläk idiot haha
    Also he thinks royce da 59 is the most lytical rapper there is.
    But how good friends you are you want to murder eachother, like kenricl lamar said in a song , not eminem but the rest of you i want to murder in every song, end your career
    Like Don’t disrespect the caterpillar to praise the butterfly.eminem falls a little bit more into that category maybee. but both are caterpillars. A lot of times, they praise these guys but gotta tear down…But where do people think his style came from?
    He also sings
    "That I feel like we’re friends, so now we no longer competitors
    That could be the death of you"
