The way Em intertwines 5 multi syllable internal & external rhyme schemes on this track without sacrificing the story is a master class in technical lyrism
I have listened to Eminem every day of my life since the 00s - I'm 32 now, I have all his CDs, singles the lot... His music has gotten me through everything I've been through... People say he fell off - Nah, he just doesn't have the rage anymore but the passion is there... His lyrics just hit differently.
People seem to forget that perspectives, values, beliefs, emotions, and everything else, changes as we grow older. It kinda makes me think some of the people that bitch about how he’s changed can’t understand that he grew as an artist and father, because those people either didn’t grow, or didn’t grow enough. So they want their favorite artist to be like they used to be, because they can understand anything else.
What about his unreleased/features? I think I was able to listen to him because almost each album was similar to what I went through. Some songs I didn't listen to but now I really understand the song
I was at a concert in NY (i think around 2002) where Em and 50 were headlining. Eminem was on stage and this song started up. Out of nowhere, Jigga walked on stage and they did the whole song together. The crowd was going crazy, prob one of the best concert moments I have experienced.
This song is Eminem’s originally. He wrote it (the beat too) for himself and Royce originally. Royce couldn’t be on the track for some reason, and Em gave it to Jay. Jay had it for years - with Em’s verses already written - before he put it on The Blueprint. So Renegade is really Em’s track. It’s amazing tho!
Nah him and royce had the song made but J wanted a verse and em asked royce which of the two songs they had planned he would rather feature on with him and he gave renegade to J
@riothero313 yeah it's healthy competition. Old saying is the pen sharpens the sword or maybe it's the other way around I can't remember exactly off the top of my head.
@@alaniasdruid8616 ok well then it was amazing poetry. If all rap is poetry then these new rapper are terrible poets. If you know you are an ass why comment at all. You weirdos love to spread hate on the internet huh
Renegade imo is one of the greatest rap songs of all time because Jay and Em spoke to millennials who at the time were growing up in broken homes and difficult environments. From single mothers, divorce, slang’n, abuse, political and media propaganda. One of the greatest songs ever made
It feels like Jay Z has to channel the music and words through him whereas with Em it feels like it's flowing from within him. Two different styles of art being done at a high level.
I was a fan before this song dropped back in the day, but this one really amplified his legacy for me. He murdered the verse and stole the song in my opinion.
This song is definitive of both artists. An actual masterpiece. And before this track, not one nobody would have ever thought that Jay and Em would just work the way they do. Even now, it's hard to wrap your head around.
🔥🔥🔥 reaction. I've heard this song many times before but y'all's reaction and breakdown made it feel like I was hearing the song for the first time all over again.
Both artists had amazing verses in these tracks.... but the Delivery of the white boy is mesmerizing... and when they did that live presentation it showed the difference btw the 2 in this track
Nope just different styles. You don’t know nothing about rap. Jay-z verse is actually better to some people. Not everybody like corny goofy rap like you
I appreciate your honesty. Jay Z constructed a verse that a lot of us in the minority needed to listen to. Eminem went WILD, and he had the verse recorded before hand. This song is legendary. With both of the best MC's we got left.
@@Titleist24 nahh its not gen z they dont listen to yealwolf anyway(but they should hes a beast). Best friend is one of his best verses but when you hear soldier or no apologies people realise the levels he can go
Just remember guys that this song was made already, and em took Royce off the song, and gave it to Jay-z with Eminem already on it. Beat change just a little bit
I think the most unique thing about Jay and Em is they are both the best at rapping a continuing story that is easy to follow and not just segmented thought. Every word, cadence change and emphasis has its purpose.
😅 Only thing is the Eminem verses were recorded waaay before with Royce..So Jay had bunch of time to think what he is going to lay on the track. I hope you'll react to the Em & Royce version too ❤
Em is my favourite, but Jay doesn’t get enough credit for his storytelling because people feel Em killed him on this song. To me they both brought their A-game and created perfect verses in their own way.
Em dont ride with cancel culture. There's levels to each side. He ain't said shit about being on that woke shit. He cares about the country and minorities. Big difference.
I was in high school when this jawn came out and JAY was always my favorite. His ability to make you feel what he’s saying no matter what he’s talking about.
Grew up on this. Been listening to it since 2002; shortly after it came out. And I'm only 26 today. So this song has been a staple in my appreciation for Em and Jay.
fuck outta here. It's fine to say Em got the better of him on this song, but Jay's verses are great. Jay's verses are so relatable to people who grew up like he did.
Jays rhymes are pretty good compared to the average rapper for sure but he just isn't on Ems level. Nothing wrong with that. The box lefty, 0rphan my pops left me rhyme was straight fire though.
@@ghost1012 I agree my friend but the way both wrote their verses are different. With Em altho his verse is spectacular lyrically it's still about him, its about the underdog who was dissing everyone and as a result was being hated on by everyone for being extremely controversial. With Jayz he is not just talking about himself he is talking about every person (not just black) who is from a marginalised community or have had a hard life, hell some of the lines in his lyrics apply to Eminem too. That's why it's more relevant, it touches more hearts, it is more relatable. But it is not as great lyrically. That's why I think it's a tie.
Both killed this so much that every time I listen to it I change my mind about who I think had the better verses. Whether you think Em or Jay was better, they're both so elite that you can't say you don't love it all.
Not sure what song you listening too. Maybe just cause this dude hosting this channel, who Ive never watched before, is obviously like a Jay Z stan, non stop stopping and saying how unreal he raps. IMO Jay Z is so overrated.. On the other hand, Em destroyed him on this, and its become almost a known fact, not even an opinion at this point!
😊. Thank you for reacting to this. You guys really listen to your viewers. I asked you guys to react to this and you did ❤. Your reaction was honest and not bias. I agree, Jay Z was fire and told his story. But Em told his story while riding the beat during his entire verses. Who today can do that? That’s crazy!
@@yo3rdtier128and yet you sat for a review? 🤨 Seems like your one who critiques those for the talent you don’t have. Eminem is anything but Nickelodeon. Just because your don’t have the sophistication of mind to understand not only what he’s saying but what he means…. Gen z has a new mascot
Just remember this song was Eminem and Royce first. Eminem gave it to Jay to who kept the hook and just created his two parts. Think most think this Eminem didnt change his parts Jay had his chance to crush him and didn't.
I don't think Jay-Z gets alot of hate or not enough respect. I think it's just because his fans put him at a level he's just not at. He can be one of the best and still not in the top 10. Rap has just been around that long and been that deep. Like if you release this now it's top 2.
The reason people say Em washed Jay is because EMS verse was laid years before Jay was sent the track, it was originally an Em and Royce track and Royce agreed to have his verse taken off the track.
I would disagree because a lot of people don't even know that. The song came out in 2001 and it was, from what I can remember, the first time Em was on track with a titan of rap. And Em showed how good he really is.
When you were a teenager / young 20s and this is coming out and you're living in that time it was such a different experience. It's so hard to explain the whole Eminem phenomenon back then, but it was crazy for sure. I still vividly remember the days that I bought the Marshall Mathers LP the day it came out and Eminem show the day it came out. I have vivid memories of blasting those on the way to basketball practice. I had to rush across town, to get to the CD the day they released, and back to practice in time😂 I also have a vivid memory of when the blueprint released and me freaking out when I saw that Eminem and Jay Z finally had a song. Only to realize that it was going to be some of Eminem's best verses of his career. 🤯 But I also don't think that m&m killed Jay Z on this, I think Jay Z did his own thing. But I'm biased because they're both two of my favorite rappers of all time. 🤷
Since I’m in a position talk to these kids and they listen. I ain’t no politician, “but I’ll kick it with EM in a minute”. Is crazy cause he sets up for the next verse where he saying to put yourself in the kids point of view.
Best explanation of Jay Z I've heard. I wasn't a big fan until you were breaking down the unorthodox style. Definitely helped me understand more of him. Thx
I LOVED this! I have always liked Jay Z but could never articulate why exactly. Y'all summed it up perfectly throughout this vid and brought a whole new love for Jay for me, Thanks! Y'all make great vids. I do follow you on Rumble but I'm old, hella old and I forget, LOL! I have such a habit of going to RUclips, even though it sucks now. I'll get back over there.
People can’t use skin color, he goes number 1 in Nigeria, but u put his skill set on any nationality and he’s gonna still be the greatest ever! Papoose I think said that! It’s facts!
Yo I just realize that Eminem wrote Jay part. This is the only time Jay z had this flow connecting like this OMG I’m almost 50 years old and it just hit me wow.
I wish I had Em songs I can listen too for the first time EVER! God danm, knowing all his lyrics in 98% of his tracks and still get that wow factor from his pen! Lyrical genius!
This has got to be by far my favorite reaction on youtube, i actually got chills at the same time with u guys even tho i have listened to this song 1000 times over 😅😊❤ keep em comming 👏👏👏
I remember hearing this song for the first time at a rave in the hills outside Los Angeles in 2001 right after it dropped.. we were all rolling and Mind LITERALLY Blown. Especially the timing of it.. if I remember correctly this was Jay Zs Blueprint 2 album which was in-between the Marshall Mathers LP and the Eminem Show.. there was a lot of comedy in both Eminem's first two albums but this was amazing. Like he seriously understood the bigger picture of what he was doing. Crazy.
14:45 "like how do you even think of that" Flawed is right when he said this verse could only happen at that point and time. You have to remember what Em was going through at this point. He was SUPER famous in a time that would ruin someones life to get a scoop or a story and hebhad the whole Bush administration after him for his lyrics. This song was like venting to those unique circumstances and im glad they recorded it.
They actually changed it to Eminem ft. Jay Z! He killed everyone he’s been on a track with, only one close was Wayne but he also had to go write his verse over 3 times! Eminem came up during better competitors and killed em all in 2000’s too…
I'm someone who likes to dissect lyrics and understand them on every level. It's pathological for me, I don't even mean to do it, it just happens naturally. I've loved this song since the day it came out but honestly, somehow, never understood it fully until watching this reaction to it. Love ya'll for that. You always catch me when I'm slippin.
This song was my annual most listened to song on Spotify for like 5 years straight. It is just two of the GOATs at their peak, with a cold beat, cold message and 4 cold verses. It ain't normal how good this track is. To me this is Ems best collab track which is insane considering no love, drop the world, forever and all that shit.
Eminem and Jay need to collab again with a song related to basketball and title it “EmJay” (MJ) lol. Jay-z had an interview on a late night show and the interviewer pointed that out. Jay-z was like “oh snap, I never really thought of that…. like Em-Jay, Mj.” Would be a dope concept for a song since MJ is a legend and so is Jay and Em. Shit, They could even pay homage to Michael Jackson in some way on that track since he is a king/legend too 😂
The way Em intertwines 5 multi syllable internal & external rhyme schemes on this track without sacrificing the story is a master class in technical lyrism
People ALWAYS miss that about his verse!!
@@timrobinson6116 didn't even know that was a fkn thing! Just solidifies Em's GOATness
What in the rhyme scheme going in here??
Plus he did it over his own beat... 💯

Dammmm! I wish!!!!
"a verse like this can only happen once, it's like the world is in perfect harmony"
I never heard someone say shit like that, it just made me see the verse in a whole different way
The era ppl and planets were in perfect alignment.
This song is Eminem’s originally. He wrote it (the beat too) for himself and Royce originally. Royce couldn’t be on the track for some reason, and Em gave it to Jay. Jay had it for years - with Em’s verses already written - before he put it on The Blueprint. So Renegade is really Em’s track. It’s amazing tho!
The version with Royce is on here too.
Nah him and royce had the song made but J wanted a verse and em asked royce which of the two songs they had planned he would rather feature on with him and he gave renegade to J
@@charg1nmalaz0r51nice💯
Its called a mush up when thry mix rappers songs together.
The fact Jay Had it for years and only had mid verses is sad
Shit went hard AF back in the day and STILL somehow went underrated. Two poetic artists painting pictures with words. Brilliance.
The fact that Eminem’s verse was made long ago and JayZ wrote after listening to that shows how much of a genius em is!
It was a bad meets evil song em and royce they took royce's verse and replaced it with jayz
Em made the beat
Why do collaborations have to be competitions?
@@riothero313 The Rappers themselves make it this way. Its how they get the best out of each other, healthy competition
@riothero313 yeah it's healthy competition. Old saying is the pen sharpens the sword or maybe it's the other way around I can't remember exactly off the top of my head.
If the lyrical mastery and poeticism wasn’t enough, Em also produced this track. It’s difficult to put into words how unbelievably talented Em is.
poeticism is everything
poeticism for the win
Poeticism raised me
Goated
“A monger of hate, satanist, a scatter-brained atheist”…. That sounded so clean it was literally like poetry 🔥
It was rap therefore it was literally poetry, so you are correct lmao I'm just an ass ignore me.

Jay verses are solid, but Em is from another world. cadence, wordplay, storytelling craaaazy!
I think the debate of who won between the two kinda hurt this song ..because it's one of the best hip hop songs ever in my eyes.
@@rabbitshady499 to be honest its the best rap song ive ever heard
The "Jigga j-jigga" part is him filling in the original lyrics where he referred to Royce as "The king of Detroit" so he had to change it

@@Wemfs I'm pretty sure that was his point lol
I gotta give it to Em there too. You can barely tell the difference between studio and live on Em's verse. Jay sounded kinda off in that performance.
@jamesp6595 yea Em had to finish his sentence a few times lol
I appreciate your honesty. Jay Z constructed a verse that a lot of us in the minority needed to listen to. Eminem went WILD, and he had the verse recorded before hand. This song is legendary. With both of the best MC's we got left.
I literally got chills when she did. Ugh! Em is the best 🙌🏽
This was originally an Eminem and Royce track
Em gave it to Jay and Jay added his verse
Correct and original em and Royce renegade beat is slightly different , you can tell that he tweaked it a bit
Yeap and filler part with Jigga-Jigga, in original track "he's Royce, he's King of Detroit".
@@EvgeniyYakushev-m2uyeah they re-recorded it and cleaned it up obviously

It's funny seeing people hear Renegade for the first time 20 years later like it's new lol
Everybody always points to Best Friend as Em's best verse, but this has gotta be right there.
I think only the newer Gen Z Eminem fans think Best friend is his best verse. This is one of the most well structured verses in the history of rap

Coming from 2024 the fact flawd saying Eminem sounds like the antichrist, after me listening to Eminem’s new song antichrist is hilarious to me

Tbh this is a clash of two rap god titans and they ended up complementing each other and made the song stronger. This song is a coexistence of styles
saying jayz's sound is original is a joke he stole biggies style, 99 problems isnt even an original chorus

We are lucky to witness greatness… eminems pen and flow he’s different no one can do it like he do it …. He does it so effortlessly
If you look at a greatest of all time list, Jay Z is in every top 5 for a reason. Real hip hop heads know.
flawd isnt the description vision flawd in the mentions not to mention flawds intuition with the best of intentions given the passion of a listen
Love your breakdown
Sometimes your head knods are on beat, other times your head knods are off beat. That's why you are one of the better reaction channels. Keep it up.

Em's Music Is Like Treasure Hunt It's Gives You Satisfaction And Talk About Dopamine Release While Listening To Or Just Even Reading His Lyrics 😅
This track was more about complimenting each other and making a great song than just out doing each other.

Especially the timing of it.. if I remember correctly this was Jay Zs Blueprint 2 album which was in-between the Marshall Mathers LP and the Eminem Show.. there was a lot of comedy in both Eminem's first two albums but this was amazing. Like he seriously understood the bigger picture of what he was doing. Crazy.
14:45 "like how do you even think of that" Flawed is right when he said this verse could only happen at that point and time. You have to remember what Em was going through at this point. He was SUPER famous in a time that would ruin someones life to get a scoop or a story and hebhad the whole Bush administration after him for his lyrics. This song was like venting to those unique circumstances and im glad they recorded it.
This was the first real rap song I heard when I was a kid that turned me onto rap. That and some master-p songs.
Let her speak....!! 🎉😂😊
Great review, thanks you both...
You guys are pretty good.
Worth the follow!
They actually changed it to Eminem ft. Jay Z! He killed everyone he’s been on a track with, only one close was Wayne but he also had to go write his verse over 3 times! Eminem came up during better competitors and killed em all in 2000’s too…
Best reaction I've ever seen to this song u 2 didn't miss a bar brilliant video
THEY DID IT LIVE TOO IN NEW YORK
To say reaction youtubers are a dime a dozen, is the understatement of the century
I'm someone who likes to dissect lyrics and understand them on every level. It's pathological for me, I don't even mean to do it, it just happens naturally. I've loved this song since the day it came out but honestly, somehow, never understood it fully until watching this reaction to it. Love ya'll for that. You always catch me when I'm slippin.
Trust me, Slaughterhouse featuring Eminem- Our House. You're welcome.
This song was my annual most listened to song on Spotify for like 5 years straight.
It is just two of the GOATs at their peak, with a cold beat, cold message and 4 cold verses. It ain't normal how good this track is.
To me this is Ems best collab track which is insane considering no love, drop the world, forever and all that shit.
Eminem and Jay need to collab again with a song related to basketball and title it “EmJay” (MJ) lol. Jay-z had an interview on a late night show and the interviewer pointed that out. Jay-z was like “oh snap, I never really thought of that…. like Em-Jay, Mj.” Would be a dope concept for a song since MJ is a legend and so is Jay and Em. Shit, They could even pay homage to Michael Jackson in some way on that track since he is a king/legend too 😂
jay makes rapping on beat sound off beat... its something i have always enjoyed
