RAPPER REACTS to Eminem - Darkness (Official Music Video) 
Видеоклипы
Eminem's new album already made my 2020. Nothing better than a legend releasing such a fire album to warm you up during the winter.
Same hopefully jcole drops an album too
Eminem Should Retire
Cuz Nick Cannon Already In The Throne
Lil Grinch Dookie Fr? You been trippin broski
@@lilgrinchdookie69 😂🤣 ur funny
Just some guy without a mustache brah how you be in all the comment sections of every vid I watch.
Re: why I watch reactions.
1. To keep up to date of the latest music
2. To hear all of the stuff that I've missed when I listen to the music.
3. Hear an opinion on the music video, visually.
4. And also mostly when I watch you and and a few other react to stuff it feels like I'm sitting down with one of my boys having a laugh.
Agreed ^
Dont let comments on one video change your mood on doing reactions
This is my favorite channel for watching music reactions
Fr
Same here bro.
+1 on this one. I think this is generally the motives of people who enjoys reviews and likes watching you, Shaq, Melon and other reaction/review/breakdown channels
I agree with those 3. But I also like to watch reactions to songs that shocked me, so I can see how other people react to this stuff. Darness and Godzilla are good examples.
The "Hello Darkness, my old friend" sample from Simon and Garfunkel is deep. Not many samples go back as far as 1963 (The year Kennedy was assassinated, from a gun aimed from a window overlooking the excited crowd that was simply there for a day of fun, a celebrity having come to town). This genius stuff is 7 levels deep.
This comment hasn’t gotten enough love.
I don’t think many people caught the name on the pill bottle either.
Wow i thought it was coincidence, but im glad someone else noticed. The levels of depths in this song seem infinite.
Sound of Silence wasn't written about the Kennedy assassination, though. It was written *before* the assassination happened. However, Em could've very well just been referring to the commonly held, incorrect myth that Sound of Silence was written afterward.
@@MegaKat never said it was
I’m watching these reactions just to see the “ah hah” moment when people realize what this video is about.
This is my exact reason too. Great to watch when people 'get' it
Thank you finally someone understands.
@@taqmobile . Exactly.
Can u explain darkness please
Xman1212 exactly
No one seems to pick up one thing from Em perspective and this whole thing. Imagine being a music artist that attracts crowds of 10s of thousands each time...and hear about a shooting at a show. The anxiety each time you have a show, knowing it could happen and you are the reason they are there... just, you know...
Fuck man
I don't think he's that bothered. He made an insensitive verse about the Manchester bombing. Eminem has been bought by politicians.
@@mikezeigler1 Hey, you dropped your tinfoil.
@@bswhytock I don't think I've ever lol so hard to a comment thank you!!!! I'm still dying and crying.... And have to steal
Randy Owings I laughed at that too 😂
The entire song is literally a double.. it’s almost written perfectly in a parallel type of way. Crazy
@Jeremy Campbell Yes. And pushing a false narrative of the story. Many unanswered questions, many time line holes.
@Jeremy Campbell lol what do you mean. If you think this song is pushing for change in the way the country is ran, then yeah. This world is fucked up
Yooooo I was saying the same shit the whole thing is a double fucken fireballs.even the video triple
It reminds me of what pac did on "me and my girlfriend".
It seems like he is talking about his girlfriend but he really talks about his gun.
@@TheIdiotChallenege the entire video is his opinion on how this might change. Yes its political but so is everything else right now.
Crypt... the entire song is a double entendre. There isn’t just a few scattered in the song.
I thought the double entendres were scattered until the scheme that starts at 4:48 on this video...fucking insane!!! Em’s the GOAT!!!
poet817 Nope. As the original commenter pointed out, the whole song is a double. It takes place in the mind of him, and the shooter. Him being the thought of “Oh shit… I’m nervous as fuck… I don’t know if my performance Will go well”. In the mind of the shooter basically almost the same except for like, instead of him saying “Oh shit I’m nervous for the performance”, he’s like, “Oh shit… I’m really going through with this”… You know what I mean? Sorry if it’s a confusing way of explaining things, I really suck at explaining. Lol.
@@BlindMelonLord I totally get that both have the same things they're nervous about " What if nobody showed up"
" you can't kill a show when there's no crowd" both worry about the same thing but have different things in mind.
@@BlindMelonLord I actually have to compliment you with that explanation. Eminem ha a horrible fucking life when he was a child and even he believes that the world we live in is a complete shit hole.
Masterpiece...He went god mode on this one. Its like the movie Shutter Island only its a song. It was 2 different stories being told in one song. Only GOATs can do this type of shit.
I truly believe this song is just as much as if not more of a masterpiece then "Stan"
I first heard it without the video and then watched the video and immediately had the same thought
Wtf
You are correct my friend
Its a good song but better then Stan u went toooooo farrrrr
@@jeramiahholland8199 *than
This song goes way deeper than most people realize and I personally feel it's one of the best song's he has ever done.
Huge Em Fan. I think its tied with Stan for the best!
I agree.
@John Smith mockingbird 😂😂 you mocking me right
This walk on water and Stan are his deepest and best I think
@John Smith I'm 37 been listening to eminem since infinate . And mockingbird is shit compared to songs like the way I am guilty conscience ect. Sit down boy.
Instead of reactions, do breakdowns after you've enjoyed the album yourself. You're one of the best on RUclips about finding the hidden gems in Em's songs.. that's the reason I watch your reaction, for the breakdowns.
Indecently Decent are good to
@@pvat3168 g
Third Ernest is great at breaking ems music down
plus, they dont get COPYRIGHTED
Wooow Crypt just commented on one of my videos! :o
Watching reaction makes me feel less lonely when im alone. I got no friends who care about bars and meanings in songs. Hearing someone talk about it, even know it's not a real conversation, that makes me feel less alone.
i feel ya man
Yes it feels like you're showing this song that just blew your mind to a friend
Yeah I know the feeling, same shit here
Yeah I feel you on that, I barely have any friends who actually care enough to break down the bars in songs, and it's lonely when I do it cause I have no one to talk to about it. If anyone sees this though, and they want someone to do this with, literally just let me know, and we can get each other's Discords or something, and start talking. I need more friends anyway lol.
*Deep* BOI
You tell me who else can make a WHOLE song a double entendre... I’ll wait
Slim Shady
Mashall Mathers
B-Rabbit
The white guy from D12.
Jason from Miami
@@waontheninja9017 lmaao. you did your research xD
@@waontheninja9017 this the only right answer lmfao
There’s normally three different reasons I watch reactions
1. To see if other people loved a certain song or part of a song as much as I did
2. To see new music (if there’s a reaction to it then it’s prolly good)
3. To get bars that I missed the first time listening
facts bro
Personally same and sometimes i watch because i like the reactor his music or other video's.
And sometimes idk why tbh
#3 is all me
It’s like watching a video with a friend, I enjoy their input and their opinion (the reactor). And a lot of times I can relate
Yes this 👆
I feel like that too.
NZO_official 14 same ✊
NZO_official 14 : Couldn’t have explained it better myself. 👍
Well said. Not sure if i have heard any new songs before listening to @Crypt react to them first.
200% on all of this especially the input and opinion.
I personally think that Darkness is his best song he's ever done. The way he gets you to empathize and brings it around to the issue is genius level
nigga stan
@@JackGlenfi darkness > stan
@@JackGlenfi darkness > stan
i dont think he wanted to empathize anyone. But to explain. Because these "monsters" are people like you and me. but mankind isnt able to learn from things.
@@alhassanali4829 darkness > Stan
“I’m so much like my father, you would think that I knew him”
Bruh this line is one of the most in depth one in my opinion, because obviously you have Marshall’s dad but then you also have the shooters dad who was a bank robber on the top ten fbi’s list.
GENIUS.
This is a perfect song.
The entire song is a double entendre. How he is literally telling 2 stories at the same time, is GENIUS.
The extremities from one topic to the other, yet combines the two so seamlessly is ..... GENIUS
Next level
GENIUS
It just blew my mind when it just clicked in my head
Explain to me, please!
That's a hard copy paste right there 😂
"Alcohol on my breath as I reach for the scope"
1. He's been firing shots and is about to fire bullets into a crowd.
2. SCOPE is a brand of mouthwash, and there's alcohol IN mouthwash, so it's like he's cleaning up with a "drink" (kind of like how alcoholics have a drink to cure their hangovers).
3. When you mix fire and alcohol, you have a Molotov.
Cole Jordan Would have never thought of that mouthwash damn good job
I liked the verse but was disappointed when in the official music video for not using actual Scope mouthwash. Instead they used a generic one for the video lol..
Jacob Shank probably because scope mouthwash could sue considering they don’t want to be attached to this situation
Last one is a big reach. Other two are crazy. This man has a way with words
Battle Rap Has DIED!!!!!! ⚰️⚰️💀💀☠️☠️ ruclips.net/video/4Hw9hgZS4xU/видео.html
Yo Crypt, the whole song is a double etendre.
A story about the artist and the shooter at the same time. Shit this song is a master piece, probably more structured than STAN.
American: How do you guys protect yourselves?
Europeans: We use a condom...
Everyone in the world laughs at amerikas gun-control. Its so useless & its only leading to more deaths than without weapons.
@@dasgericht7347 fr. We shouldn't be allowed to buy guns that can wipe crowds out in seconds.
@@alecvip7562 the issue is the people who buys the guns not the guns themselves. A responsible gun owner has the right to defend themselves and exercise their rights if needed. The solution is better background checks.
@@alecvip7562 hows that boot taste
Mr.Muffin if nobody has access to guns, responsible owners wouldn’t need to defend themselves with guns
I dont listen to "reaction" videos. I listen to CRYPT. You are one of the best to catch the double entendres and meaning behind a lot of bars/punchlines. I love how you break them down and give your real opinion. You're not fake. I respect the hell out of most things you say.
CRYPT keep it up brotha. Peace.
Like when he broke the Killshot with Math, nobody did anything like that.. I was getting mad people were torching him yesterday, they fucked it up for everyone
I used to watch Shaq and Artokickz, but nothing compares to Crypt and Scru.
Cheack out thethirdernest, he up there in the reaction, his breaks down are amazing
I do watch Artofkickz. Cool guy but he misses a lot of deeper bars and double entendres. Others I've tried to watch just miss things all together or dont know any backstory. That's why I come here everyday. That's why I bought Crypt merch and a cameo. To support Crypt. Imma try to go to his Ohio show too.
Peace.
@@GuzzlingDuck Arto is a nice dude, but so much shit goes over his head, I just feel he's into it for the money and not really a fan.
I still fuck with no life, his energy is second to none 😂
Literally the whole song is is written from either Eminems perspective or the shooters perspective. its crazy to listen to it the second time cuz you just notice every line can be em talking or the shooter talking
Only the first verse
it is the whole song until he says "Surprised from out of nowhere, As i slid the clip in from inside the Hotel, Leaning out the window " ect
Maybe I shouldn't if said "literally" up to 3:05
On an album called music to be murdered by.. masterpiece!
Em's literally rappin about his whole rap career & the shooting at the same time - masterpiece.
Why watching react videos?
"I don't want to be lonely in the darkness...."
Same bro, I feel you
he actually says alone not lonely
It's a joke guy bruhs
@@Igel69 actually it's a double entendre regardless of how it written. I dont want to belong in the darkness AND I dont want to be alone in the darkness. Listen again.
you trippin bro :)
"I got ammo for all the hecklers." Heckler & Koch ftw
yes, we know. This whole song is a metaphor. We get it. Why do people keep pointing out the obvious?
I didn't get it until reading this. Thanks.
Yo i did not know that thank you for that i had look up what it meant but dang thank you for typing it and explaining that bar what it referenced
@@TheIdiotChallenege Why you seem so salty dude
OfficialPixel - CSGO Content Bro look at his name 😂
Please don’t stop the reactions off the album. I like to hear your point of view on things. Screw the haters, they don’t know what they’re talking about
You mean fuck the haters
This has nothing to do with the haters lol he said he doesn't enjoy it as a regular consumer would
Jaime nah your totally right. But once it moves from constructive criticism to everybody in the comments bashing him from his opinions, he’s gotta move on and “screw the haters”
I've listened to Eminem since I was little and this one strikes a cord with me. He is one artist that doesn't hide behind excuses, he comes through like the Kool-Aid man with no fucks given. This is why he has done well for a while.
I just want to point out something crypt didn’t catch. Eminem said “I’m a licensed owner with no prior convictions so I’m strapped like a soldier.” This was a reference on how easy it is to acquire those weapons and ammunition
(Edit) why did this get so many likes?
Clipz Spirit I think he didn’t mention that on purpose so people wouldn’t argue in the comments
Maybe. I just thought that it was something easy to miss considering that he was still kind of in awe from the other punch lines
Depends on your state
It depends, its easy if you have a clean record. And nearly impossible if you have a long track record. Violent or not.
@@jongles2530 10/10 rather this counties ways then Australia
Eminem is definitely one of the greatest artists of all time
And can you believe people hate on him.
Marvelous Studios people hate on him because of his fans and his last 3 albums were worse than average
@@Agent1245_ well revival was alright kamikaze was so much better.
The5Head tr they were not worse than average. Out of 0/10 what would u rate it?
@@Agent1245_ they weren't mmlp2 was one of his best, revival was with one of most substance and kamikaze was fire
I personally watch reaction videos for the following:
1. Get a different viewpoint or idea for another person that might have understood the video better then me.
2. Mainly to see how the youtuber reacts to certain scene in the video, so if a certain scene made me laugh then i would love to see what a certain youtuber feels about the scene.
Thats it :)
On point
Same
Abdallah Al Ja3ari PERFECT!!!
صح
Exactly
This song blew my mind and makes me think that Eminem is A genius at his craft. He is venting his personal feelings and tying into the Vegas shooter. Basically pointing out that he understands the darkness that motivates these awful crimes. This about Eminems struggle with darkness and his understanding of it. Not that he would do something like this. He simply understand the shadow in himself. Ive listened to this multiple times because its very good. Its too dark though and I think I'll leave it alone fir A while.
Its a triple story. Telling how he feels before a show, when he's alone and away from the world and the las Vegas shooting. Em's a genius
This song is a storytellers masterpiece, Em’s in his bag
This gave me the same reaction as Stan did the very first time.
I hadn't heard anything about this song until I saw the video. Amazing storytelling from Em.
Nowhere near as good as stan.
@@asyouwere553 that's your opinion, people can think whatever they want.
@@asyouwere553 Yeah stan was on another level that chorus and his storytelling in it really brought it home this was hella good but not stan
@@CommunistReaper and I expressed mine so ssssh. You Helmet
@@asyouwere553 I never said anything was wrong with it. Your comment was countering thiers as if you stated a fact. My retort simply stated both are opinions and your retort doesn't mean darkness can't be as good as Stan. Insulting me for no reason though makes yourself seem frail since simply pointing out your opinion is not a fact caused you to lash out.
I love the entire meaning to this song. The lyrics, the double entendres, the video. It hits hard but i think the best part, what sells it for me, is "the sound of silence" beat playing in the background, using the line "hello darkness my old friend" over and over and over. When you hear the "hello" line it's quiet and unnerving in the best way, and when you pay attention to the video and especially the end, and you think of "sound of silence" it hurts so much more in a good way
Loved the song, perhaps my favorite on the album. First time seeing the music vid. Gave me chills. Giving the assailant a point of view, very eerie. Good job Em.
Im from Russia, and i like when you breakdown lyrics, so i can understand better what he means, special for double or triple meaning lines. Thanks bro.
Same, I'm from Costa Rica
“Commando with extra clips, I got ammo for all the hecklers
I'm armed to the teeth.”
I love that line, because hecklers refers to people who heckle during shows that Eminem would have ammo for, but it also refers to Heckler & Koch, a weapons manufacturer.
I watch them for this exact reason.. some songs have so much impact you wish you can listen to it for the first time again. And with these videos we get to relive it through your reactions. Plenty replay value but this reason for me specifically
Aye Crypt my guy don't stop with this album bro the reason i watch you is the way you catch the bars i didn't catch. That's one of the reasons i watch reaction channels which is only 2. Keep em coming
I watch reactions because I dont have anyone else to share what I love with.
So fucking true
sad but true lol
💯
Truth
True !
He said he was like his father because the shooters father was on the FBI most wanted list
Wow I never knew that! I thought it was just a way to throw us off of the true meaning until later in the song
@Yazan Poor guy. Still killed 58 people tho smh
Didnt know that but its yet anpther double be cause it goes for Eminem too. Those of us who never had a father in our lives can really relate...such a simple line tgat really hit me personally.
His Dad also broke out of jail!!
Oh shit that's crazy. Em is actually a genius
i really love your vids and they are helping me through the process of moving schools and starting up in youtube, thank you, keep up the good work! :)
the thing i *love* about this song and music video is how em lets it get slowly more and more obvious what the song is about. the middle of the video you catch on, and by the end it hits you like a ton of bricks. the overlapping voices of the news reports being the last thing you hear, they slowly fade, and the words appear. gives me chills every fucking time. *i watch reactions, specifically ones like this or “devil’s work” by joyner lucas, to watch people get it. to watch it hit people and get a genuine human reaction.*
I just like see people react to things I like and see if they liked it as much as I did.
Thats 95% of people watching reaction videos, the other 5% is there to troll.
@@Bakemer94 2.5 are to troll, 2.5 are bc they like Crypt (me), 95% are what Broken KO said.

I love reaction videos but especially yours because you catch things that I dont or know more about the rap industry than I do so I love your explanation of things and some of the context behind the songs. Appreciate you!
I only watch your reactions vs others because I like the style you break down the songs and I like seeing it from a rappers point of view. I like seeing what you notice and take away from the songs.
You ever go to a movie eith a friend and end up spending the whole time looking at them to see there reaction, thats why
It is proven... *Em can still make us cry...*
It feels great that Em has such a heart, he looking out for ALL of us!
(Nick Cannon you should be ashamed)
I laughed i have no soul
FUCK EM ALL
I can’t cry to this song sorry it’s not ear pleasing
Em does his research. ‘It’s 10:05pm...’ that’s when the shooter started.
Also the 'It's only the opening act' part, the shooting started after the opening act was done.
Much like my father, you thought that you knew him is a reference to that the shooter's father was on a FBI watchlist
Even though you mentioned double entendres in single bars I feel like the second perspective of this entire song went right above your head. Never mentioned the perspective of Eminem’s anxiety before shows and drug abuse and performing on stage.
You’re the only one who really breaks down lyrics that can be easily missed by just listening, so I appreciate your reactions man
not the only but one of the few for sure as far as I've seen. Knox Hill is also amazing at it.
@@yoitsandy7725 and nolifeShaq kills it as well.
andy Veraart Scriptwork is the best for me. They are old heads so they can break the bars down, and relate it to themselves and old school hip hop better than just about anyone
Crypt, ArtOfKickz and The Third Earnest are my favorite
Check out scriptwork they do a really good job as well. My top 3 are scriptwork, cryot, and no life shaq
"Feels like I'm Loathing in Las Vegas", has anyone seen Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas w/ Johnny Deep even the TV has the same screenshot as the movie. damn, everyone missed that one.
Caught it thanks to parasyte
He says "..loathing in Las Vegas, I haven't got the VAGUEST why I'm so LOST. That switch with the wordplay reverse is silly!
my favorite part of reaction videos is watching and seeing someone really feeling the song the way I did when i first heard it. Seeing someone like the song the way I did is cool to me.
Crypt: I love your videos man, you’re one of my favourite youtubers. To answer your question, I watch these reaction videos, and more specifically your reaction videos purely based on the humour and the uncovering and explaining of all hidden meanings contained within the songs. I also really enjoyed your ‘everything wrong with...’ videos. Again, this is mainly because of the humour you incorporate into the uploads. Love ya man, keep up the great work!
I Like hearing someone who actually has musical knowledge break it down
Huh? "Musical knowledge... hmmm, everyone has that, it's innately human and I for one require no further input on the music I like. This is why I hate humans, they announce their lemming status.
He usually gets every bar or at least the most of them, but idk why in this song he missed a bunch.. or didnt bother to pause cause the song makes you hella think lol
@@Max-il5hx no, not everyone has musical knowledge. What you're referring too is an opinion lol
@@Max-il5hx cute opinion, but no. No everyone gets it.
Everyone does have the ability to feel the music tho. Perhaps this is what you meant.
I'm glad eminem made this video because when I was 16 I wanted to massacre my whole family because I was raped by my dad for 16 years . I didnt do it because god stopped me but I'm happy eminem is addressing this. Society wants to blame everyone for mental illness but in reality people know why they do things.
To answer your question about why I watch reactions:
Mostly it’s because I find it super helpful to have someone breakdown the bars and the meanings so I can enjoy the song to its fullest. There’s a lot that can be easily missed, and to be honest, I find you are the best at it and in explaining each meaning while being entertaining, so thanks! It’s not easy to do. To a lesser degree, it’s also fun to watch someone enjoy the same songs/artists that I do, kind of like if you were listening to music with a friend and talking about it.
Personally, I like when you provide both sides of why you like or don’t like aspects of the song. I think it makes the reaction more genuine and provides actual substance to the content rather than many other yotubers who are just trying to only be entertaining but aren’t saying anything of real value.
I think you are great at what you do, and, it’s easy for me to say this, but don’t let the haters get to you. People love to hate, but the rest of us like your style, it’s different than other youtubers,. Keep being true to yourself and producing the kind of content that you want to put out there, regardless of what we think. You will never make all of us happy, but you can tune out the senseless comments, take the ones that are meaningful feedback, and continue doing the things that have made you gain the following and success you have in the first place.
Hope that helps, sorry for the long post and fan boying all over the place :)
So you're dumb?
You might wanna check out NoLifeShaq if you're talkin about breaking down bars.!
I like watching reaction videos just to see the love and appreciation on someone else’s face to something I also love and appreciate, seeing someone else smiling as the same shit you do is way underrated
You are awesome dude. The way you break down the songs with double entedre. This shows you are a rapper not just a reactor. I have listened to couple of reactions, and You Are Awesome!
I watch reaction channels generally because it's a song that I enjoyed or caught my interest and just want to hear someone else's take. I break down bars by myself and it's fun to see which ones yall catch and which ones you dont, plus a lot of yall like Shaq, Crypt, LayedBak, or Scru are real ass characters and its really entertaining. I will say while I sometimes look for a reaction that goes against my opinion like some of the ones from other people from the MGK beef but usually we totally agree and I just like watching yall freak out to a bar that I also freaked out to, maybe that's weird but that's why I watch yall, keep it up Crypt you're one of my favorite youtubers no cap
Don't forget Scriptwork, too
@@SavageGBP tell him bro
You and lost in Vegas are rare breeds. I love the fact that it is YOUR views and opinions. Most reaction channels say what they think people wanna hear. And the accurate bar breakdowns are a huge plus.

just funny
"Why do you watch react videos"
*says the exact reason why i watch them*
well... what more can I say?
well you could say that you had nothing to say
I watch reaction videos because like you, I enjoy hearing other peoples takes and opinons on lyrics. I also mostly watch reaction videos of songs I've heard and love because it reminds me of how I felt the first time I heard those songs... nostalgia.. because you'll never be able to hear a song for the first time ever again, and get that first time feeling.
I like your reaction videos because you explain things that normally would go over my head
eminem: I pull the curtains open but something pulls em closed again
me: *sounds like your house is haunted*
I took that as a word play to mean he also pulls them closed after opening them.
Pulls EM closed again.
As in eminem, in a highly intoxicated state, is also pulling them closed . Hes so messed up he doesn't remember himself opening and closing them.
Iirc he put emphasis on the em to signify that, but id have to listen again to be sure.
he could be referring to his mental state as well. That line is followed by "hello, darkness my old friend".
@@stylezNsmilez yeah, thats true as well. I didnt think about that.
Something pulls eminem closed again in meaning.
“It’s like the curtains are closing on me” When Im gone - Eminem
I watch reactions because:
-At first, to see how others were receiving something I already liked.
-As a side effect, I started to learn more about the bars.
-As a side effect, I became aware of new artists/songs featured on that channel.
-Now, I mostly watch to enjoy something I already like "with company".
It's like seeing a favorite movie with a friend who's never seen it. It's new and fun all over again. That's why I might pull up 10 tabs on one song. It's like having it on repeat, with a fresh reaction each time.
Perfectly put 🤘
I watch reaction videos because it feels like I share the moment with you during your reaction. I enjoy the breakdowns and hearing how you interpret the music. Love your work. Keep it real.
I know this is obviously an older viddddYAaa but my take on reactions.. I listen most times before I watch a react. I like the different perspectives. I also get crazy enjoyment out of seeing someone hear something that blew my mind && visually seeing their reaction. I like many lose myself in musical lyrics and put it to something.. so maybe I didn’t see it the reactors way. Nice to see different POV’s. I enjoy you Crypt. I watch just a few reactors... glad to say you’re in that playlist. It gives my workday a reason to keep on trucking thru the day.
I don’t watch reaction videos. You’re the only one I watch. And the reason: you point out things I didn’t catch so it’s mad educational to be honest. I got into watching your stuff after the “Everything Wong With Nick Cannon Eminem diss” videos cuz the situation is already hilarious but your videos made it literally laugh out loud funny
Same here except I found him off the mgk stuff
Dean Winchester Loll
Not trying to be a dick to Crypt but my dude paused the video twice for the coming after you like the letter v.. it was a v for vendetta reference as well as the alphabet reference.. as well as him just saying coming hed come after you. So a kind of triple entendre. He also doesnt know who LL Cool J is..? The B.A.D. references are referring to that album not Michael Jackson and if he thinks Em is ever gonna give Michael Jackson credit for anything he obviously hasnt followed his music. He makes it so obvious he meant that album and says Cool J's name like it wasnt hard to follow what he was saying.
The loathing in Las Vegas part is a reference to Hunter S. Thomson. His style of writing was gonzo journalism. The specific book Eminem is referencing is and talks about chasing the failed American Dream in a drug induced state.

Props bro. That's some knowledge right there
And first was fear and loathing on the campaign trail. i think Nixon in 1968.
People need to Watch Johnny depp in fear and loathing
dsSa I believe he did such an amazing job because he personally knew Hunter. There is a great video somewhere, where he talks about the first time he met him. Pure gold.
I love your reaction videos cause you break down the bars! Em has so many entendres, and your videos help get into its depth!
I listen to reaction videos because:
1 Pointing out Some things I might completely miss
2 A different perspective on the song
3 the explanation of why he said it ex. A diss to so and so and the meanings behind it
4 when you talk about why you dont like things whether it's just because it doesnt sound good to you, or it says something messed up, when you talk about it you explain why and it helps us understand and know you more as a person.
I'm surprised you did a reaction video to this, it's such a deep and touchy song.
In my opinion EM did an amazing job of laying out his feelings about it, whether I agree or not to the message, it put me right in the spot where I was thinking about so many different things I couldnt grip a single thought - speechless.
To be honest, I've started watching reaction videos to try to see who likes the same songs as me, who understands the same meaning as me, and to see if the song has the same effect on the reactors or not.
Since I'm living in Syria, it's hard to find people who like Eminem or any other priceless gems in the showbiz, so reaction videos have been kind of a resort.
Plus it's really important to see different opinions on the songs, so it's a win-win.
Anyways, I guess you're right, I always listen to the song and enjoy it then I go looking for reactions. I never thought about your perpective.
You're great, man
All respect✌

He’s not using his platform for gain, he’s using it to spread awareness.
RespectFreeSpeech GiveMeMuhFreedom You’re a simpleton! ITS FOR AWARENESS! Go back to sleep!
Until one nigga takes it to seriously and GETS INSPIRED to do something like that again
@RespectFreeSpeech GiveMeMuhFreedom You are making it sound like such mass shootings are normal all around teh world, but they are not. Just look at Switzerland. They had their last mass shooting in 2001! The US had over 1900 mass shootings from 2012 to 2018, that is nearly one a day. Something is wrong with that, don't you think so?
@RespectFreeSpeech GiveMeMuhFreedom cool statistics, still doesnt change the fact no one could possibly need a semi auto 50 cal berreta for everyday life
@RespectFreeSpeech GiveMeMuhFreedom i understand where you are coming from and to a degree i agree. However the usa has had more mass shootings from 2012 to 2018 than any other country in the world, more than most of those countries in double that time frame. Ontop of that we DO have some gun control issues, mostly with what kinds of guns we can just walk on out and get. Why the fuck can my cousin own an actual Uzi? what purpose does that serve that cant be solved by a normal ass hand gun? Ontop of that most of our mass shootings are done by fucking kids shooting other kids now. That falls 100% on the adults that legally bought those guns NOT keeping them out of the hands of their fucking kids, THAT is a fucking problem dont you think?
In short my issues are with the types of guns you can freely access with no reason for needing them and for the people that dont keep their guns out of the hands of their 16 and younger children to just casually access whenevery they feel like. Id love a response if youve got the time. Im coming from a heavy military family and grew up around guns and Merica freedom fighters.
I watch reactions to see other perspectives. I enjoy your videos because you have produced music and are experienced in the music field and know what you are talking about.
This song is the best i've heard in awhile it hits so deep it really does bring you back to the recovery days love the relatable side of em
And the reason I like reaction is so I can understand the bars
Same. I dont get 59% of the references
I don't get 69% 🤷🏻♂️
jim bob who?
Misfit Marsh I don’t understand 420% of the song
I get some but not all
I only watch rap reactions, for three reasons:
1. For the bar breakdowns and analysis
2. To hear what other rappers think of the songs
3. To discover new artists
There will always be songs from your favourite artist that you don't really particularly like at least he isn't lying a reaction is people saying how they really feel about the song
I don't normally watch reaction videos. But when I do, your videos are on my to watch list. I definitely dig your creativity and work you put in to your reaction videos. More power Crypt!
me: watches this video
me: oh hey guys Em dropped a song,
my friends: He dropped a album
me: :o
do you live under a rock..

Eminem killing a show and the shooter literally killing a show, damn flew over my head
I love watching reactions to literally see the reactions....mainly to my favorite songs, to see the emotional response, see if they affect someone as much as me. There's something satisfying and wholesome about seeing true emotional expression.
Crypt, I only listen to your reaction videos 😅. I love how perceptive and quick you are to notice all the double entendres and punchlines 😁
*Also I really hope u don’t stop reacting to Eminem album because I want to see how u react when listening EM’s tracks called*
1. *Yah Yah*
2. *I Will* 😈
3. *Leaving Heaven*
yeah those 3.. I really want to see your reaction crypt
I watch RVs to feel like I’m hanging out with someone who can appreciate things in music that I do and don’t have people in my life who care about the same things. I appreciate your point of view because you are one of the few who is willing to make sure to find some type of criticism even if it’s something small. Nothing can get better without notes. I wish you would do the rest of the album but I understand just wanting to be a Stan offline as well. You are the man, Crypt. Keep it up.
I live in an RV
I feel you Cago. I basically have the same situation. No one cares about my opinion and others don't share my interests.
I watch them simply because I miss a lot of the meaning and punch lines. You and no life shaq help me figure it out. Thanks
I haven't listened to Eminem. In a very long time I mean I hear what gets played on the radio. But I got a hunch to listen to his new album just cause I was looking for something new. And this song struck me hard.
I am from Las Vegas lived her first 11 year, I wasn't at the tragic show I had a couple friends there tho. my ex worked at Mandalay Bay. And I remember getting a notification from my snapchat doing the HEY see what's happening in vegas. And spent the WHOLE NIGHT watching the terror and sadness happen... it was horrific the fear I felt not even being there. The sense of hopelessness of what can I do I don't know any of them. But they are my people. We opened our house that night. I donated blood when I could. Ect.
I love that this song targets multiple issues while spreading a devistating story. That could have been anywhere. The horror is becoming too real we fear going to school, movies, concerts, work, HOME. I remember sitting while listening to the aftermath of this event and how this man got away with lbs of weapons and ammo and all this shit. Like HOW?. like do I want medal detectors in our hotels Or shit like that. Idk. This act was straight up.. just like how we heard about 9/11 how people just walked on armed and ready. We go how could we have missed that. To me unacceptable in my head. We should be more aware. And prepared it's better to be overly cautious then allow this shit to continue. We need to do better america and I def don't know what that is. But we need to do better. 😢😢😢 #lasvegasstrong love to those that have perished because of these issues.
i love watching reactions because i like people’s logic and explanations behind the song who have more experience/ professionalism
^^^ "I'm a lemming, please 'experts' tell me what to think"
I watch them to learn more about the lyrics. You help me learn about things and schemes
Amen - i concur.

Me too ,bro
You always hit the nail on the head man. Youre the only reactor i watch cuz em's the greatest and i love to see other peoples opinions
What I like is that he didn't really express an opinion one way or the other, he's just saying that people need to talk about it. And I appreciate that.
Depends on the reactor like I watch yours reactions for the in depth bar breakdown, I watch shaq for the energetic reactions to the bars, I watch artofkickz for the more emotional side of the songs
Love nolifeshaq he gets me hyped.
Those are my go to reactors... I just discovered artofkickz recently but I can't remember who I found first... Crypt or NoLifeShaq... I love that each brings something different to their reactions. and after watching each one I always have something new I learn... especially with this album. I saw the notification for this video and I watched it shortly after it dropped and I was floored... then I saw in the comments that he had dropped the album in Spotify (I have never been more stoked to have switched from Pandora to Spotify) because once I heard that I listened to the album that night...
Joël Beckers I watch Scriptwork to get a bar breakdown, I enjoy the songs even more afterwards
check out scriptwork
Check out @TheThirdErnest, great breakdowns
I don’t think he’s doing it for just him I think he’s doing it for everyone cause in the end he’s one of the people up on the stage and he’s at higher risk than most he doesn’t want anything to happen to his fans and people cause anything can happen and he doesn’t want it to go on I don’t think any of us do
I agree, I mean just put yourself in his shoes for a bit. You attract crouds like it's nothing and hear all these shootings happening, I can guarantee he feels anxiety everythime he's yp on stage thinking one day this might happen to him.
Yeah taking people rights to protect themselves always make them safer. All the while he has his bodyguards loaded with guns protecting his butt. How brave he is standing up for people.
I watch yours because you break down the meaning of the lyrics and the songs. And also explain them. You’re informative.
I watch you because you are funny and get me through some hard time it means a lot to me when you make your videos
Thank you and keep doing what your doing it's inspirational and helpful
Another double entendre was the line “ I got ammo for all the hecklers” like H&K heckler and Koch and hecklers in the crowd. Barrsssss
Martinez 1221 the whole song was a double entendre from start to finish
As to the "Why do you watch reaction videos"
I feel like, for me anyways, in regards to music reactions it's a few strange things.
Firstly, for this type of music I enjoy watching these to catch the meaning and bars that I might have missed listening on my own. I am by no means a hip hop expert, tend to be more into rock actually, but have wild respect for the lyrical guys like Em and find it fascinating to listen to. Even more, I feel the same about "reactors" like you that can catch it all in one listen, that is almost just as impressive.
My second reason probably sounds petty as hell, but it's the best I can gather from myself.
If I like a particular song/ artist, I enjoy watching other people that like them as well. It's a strange feeling I can't really describe, and I don't think "justification in my tastes" accurately describes it because that sounds awfully shallow, but it's the only phrase that comes to mind initially. It's like watching your kids do well in a school play, except it's "I'm so proud of Eminem for putting out another sick album", if that sounds any better haha.
Furthermore if some drama or a horrible song happens to someone I don't like I enjoy watching other people trash them so I can be like "Yeah, I agree, f*** that guy" ahaha. I know I'm probably alone on these but there's the perspective of a psychopath for ya.
Reaction videos get a bad name on youtube because of the low effort channels, but there is more to the good ones than most people think.
You, No life Shaq, Law Twinz, and MathewsFam all come to mind as some of the ones I enjoy.
Jeff Schofield Agreed all around. I like to see people enjoy the things I like. And if I’m proud of the artist, I like to see people praise them. I didn’t know other people felt that way.
@@compilationking1855 Imagine being triggered about a RUclipsr mentioned in a comment lmaoo. Get a life clown
Ur not alone in this. Described exactly what feel. Thanks for writing it all so i don't have to organize my thoughts. ♥️
Same lol dont know why but when a dope song comes out I like to see other people liking it live for some reason
couldn't have said it better myself.
From Portugal , i like the see wat you say, because you are real in wath you say , make a good point of view.. kip makeung good music crypt
This video was great. I had the song spoiled for me when I read something online before forcing myself to really *hear* it and hearing it from your perspective was great because I hadn't even recognized the way he talked in concert terms the whole time. This track was amazing!
Honestly I watch reactions to see how everyone else views the songs that I Iike, and see their opinions whether they like it or not
