My favorite song gives me chills and makes my heart pound every time I listen to Ringer. I was sad when he said he went a little too far when Sway interviewed him on this album. He shouldn't have to take the crap everyone was talking about him, and I feel they all no how sharp his pen is and if they can't take it they should zip it.
It was meant for Joe Budden for saying Recovery was trash, Lord Jamar for sitting on Vlads couch talking serious crap about Em, and anyone else who talked crap.
@@uk9347 it sounds hell-a-bad cranked up and bassed out thru my Dre Beats headphones. There will never be another like him. It would be so cool to watch that big masterful mind of his at work🤩🥰
I'm 40, I've been listening to eminem since '97. He's always been my favorite rapper, along with Jay z, nas, and DMX. Busta aswell. That all being said, kamikaze is my favorite album all time. Its under appreciated imo
That NF line is even cleverer when you remember that NF doesn't swear in his raps, so it's even more fitting to say 'an effing' as opposed to, well, fuck.
@@bitoffbalance4021I like NF too, but when you begin hearing older music you begin to realize what artist imitates others. There’s no doubt that NF is heavily influenced by Em, his older music shows that quite clearly. NF also has said that Eminem is his main reason he started rapping
Eminem has an unbelievable array of general knowledge. His ability to associate words and phrases comes from his knowledge of so many different facts about so many things. The man is wicked smart.
@@yayapoloo9627 He’s definitely a genius, what are you talking about? You can’t have the skills he has and do what he’s able to do and not be a genius.
@@mentaalbeperkt2444 That's false. NF is in an interview saying he was not dissing Em. People are trying to make something that isn't there. NF admits Em influenced him and he has mad respect for Em and is a fan himself.
I'll support any artist who is willing to cut his fanbase and cash flow in half for what he believes is right. Mad respect whether I agree or not, Em has a moral compass I rock with.
He didn't actually say *why* Trump was bad though. The whole rap just seemed like he was virtue signalling; parroting the mainstream media and the establishment. Whole thing sounded clunky af too.
One thing I have learned listening to Eminem since the early 2000’s is that he doesn’t make mistakes in his writing. He actively chose to say effin instead of the actual word which we all know he would say. He does it in order for it to sound like NF and because NF doesn’t swear. NF has addressed this bar and said what he has ALWAYS said. That if a rapper wants to call him out by name. By name and not in a bar. That is the only way he will ever get dragged into an industry beef. He had always said this. But being a fan of Eminem for 20 years and loving NF. Eminem doesn’t mistake his writing. Edit: also, the recovery clone version. Recovery is when Eminem got clean. NF is clean lyrically. Doesn’t swear.
Only mistake I've caught was really just a missed opportunity in "caterpillar ft Royce tha59" when he says "bitch is real (Israel) like I pooped Jerusalem" If he had said "my shit is real like I pooped Jerusalem" it woulda hit that much harder
not just that, NF has a general music style of talking about feelings, and has a certain type of flow which em did on most of his tracks for the recovery era.
"I polarize shit, so the Thames might freeze" alludes to old England when the river was a dumping ground for the city's waste. You'd empty your chamber pots into the streets and all that stuff would run off into the Thames. So the Thames was literally full of shit. Polarize like the North or South Pole. So, frozen shit equals frozen Thames. Em's bars are fucking legendary.
"Did I miss a bar, bro?" Just get used to it reacting to this man. Genuine first listen, you're going to miss them - lot of them at first - and that's okay.
Mr. Porter produced his album REVIVAL. He has mastered double entendres. Blessings brother... I truly appreciate your more serious and cerebral approach to lyric breakdown.
It was most definitely about NF. When have you ever heard Em say an effing instead of saying the actual curse word? Also NF doesn’t curse so it was a double about NF.
NF answered him on a song. Said “There ain’t no I in team, but drop the T and A Sometimes, if I’m being honest, feels like it’s only me No defeat, notably, better have it right if you’re quoting me Write my name on your hit list, it might be the last time you wrote something Rip that cocky smile right off your face for thinking you’re close to me Grab a can of gasoline, light it all over your self-esteem Selfishly watching y’all helplessly pretend you’re on my planet Shoot you out of the sky like you’re punchlines, you are not landing” Dropping the T and A leaves Em in that word.
@@jbrashguitarist Yeah I forgot the lyrics. I mean I respect the fact he answered but that "Write my name on your hit list, it might be the last time you wrote something Rip that cocky smile right off your face for thinking you’re close to me" is kinda funny coming from him to Em'. Anw I fuck with both of em and hope they collaborate one day, I dont think that was that serious.
@@jbrashguitarist It also spells me, which he said right after "feels like its only me", just feel like thats a bit of a reach there but props for trying, and im not NF so I cant say for sure the meaning of the bar haha but thats my opinion on it
Notice he says "NFing" choosing not to swear as NF doesnt swear in his songs cos hes a Christian or sumic. It's a nice shot but I only think he threw it to try and stir some excitement in hip hop. It be looking very flat compared to the 90s
I can't see why no one emphasizes on those closing bars. This song is gold and solid throughout. But, those last two bars. So I ain't ironin' shit out with the press, but I just took this beat to the cleaners. It's like a quadruple, triple, double, entendre. It's literally the icing of this masterpiece.
That's EXACTLY why. He called out EVERYBODY on that BET cypher. He said that people are either a fan of him or a fan of Trump and he's drawing a line in the sand. I hope you watched it by now. Lots of info. Basically what this whole song is about.
@@loosekanonstan3648 " And I won't hesitate To get those people so out of shape ( Crash sound) Shit bro Hold up wait I just tripped over my cape ( Superman) I still laugh at that part to this day 😂😂😂

12:58 this is such a slick line. "Invite 'em in like a One A Day" They are inviting Em in, and he's giving them the medicine. Also, One A Day is a daily vitamin. Invite 'em in - Vitamin. This line alone packs more substance than the whole Gucci Gang song.
I’m the biggest Eminem fan in the world.. I also love NF.. he’s truly my new favorite artist.. that was definitely a shot at NF (kind of) he wasn’t saying anything bad.. just that he’s got one of his similar styles.. I pray one day these two do a collaboration together!! I honestly think Em will do a song with him eventually. They’re both so amazing.
Yes I was one of those 1/3 of his fans that turned on Eminem and was and still am a hard core Eminem fan but I went 2years without listening to Eminem for that
@@cotybenoit6752 Honestly, same. I only went back to listen to him when MTBMB Side A came out at which point I also found his Kamikaze album but only went back to Revival last year when I started watching knoxx hill do reactions and breaking down bars and man did I feel dumb. Not a huge fan of his newer albums but I know that they're full of bars and good content (whether I agree with what he's saying or not). Conclusion, I was a late teen that was a snowflake but I grew up.
Nah. Yela did he thang on that. Eminem is just above him. To be completely honest, Yelawolf should focus more on singing. He sounds his best when he's singing.
Loved the reaction.... You're actually the first I've seen to catch the NF jab, the porterhouse steak scheme, and the closed eyes when he sneezed schemes all in one vid .... Can't wait to watch more reaction videos
The porterhouse line referenced the fact that when people went to listen to Eminem’s Revival they expected quick and easy bars (fast food, thus BK and McDonalds) but they got something much more complex and that’s somewhat the reason why Kamikaze was in many ways easier to understand, to fulfill the wishes of those who were expecting a less in depth album and just wanted Eminem to go off on everyone
There is an effect in music where calling Eminem out or mentioning him in controversy will bring you some form of clout, typically its the high before the fall when Em shows up but he is put in a lose lose. If he retorts, he gives them more views and clout, if he doesn't then people keep calling him out.
This was the first song on the abum after Revival, he often talked about how the media was basically telling everyone that Revival would be garbage cause of the features he had on before it even came out and they heared it and that they later wanted to be right. This is also what he was refering to in his first verse (all those critics who don't have talent and don't get his bars). His albums since then drop without a release date and propagate just by his fanbase and his official channels without prior promotion (its also oldschool in a way that your friends tell you about the new album and not the media). For me this song is basically his statement on what happened when Revival was released and after the beat changed he adresses the cypher.
I'm so glad i found your channel, your reaction seems so genuine and your very knowledgeable on the topics and bars! especially since a lot of other reactors just exaggerate for the video but not you! i can't wait to see the next video!
The line about the reactors was from when everyone was saying how on he previous album they didn't even listen to it yet and were judging it solely off 1 or 2 songs he let out early and the full song list he let out for the album revival
I found you VERY recently but I love your reactions. Nothing is overreacted, it's just a chill environment. Like I'm talking with a friend. Love the content man.
Sir you have done your job. I am a 65 yo w female. I thought since you gave your time to listen for the first time to my music, the least I could do is give you some time and listen to yours. This is my first time hearing Eminem. It’s very interesting having you explain the lyrics, helpful! Thank you for expanding my music landscape!
Everyone heard the nfing line and thought he was talking about nf. Then later nf came out with returns and thought he was taking shots back at Eminem. So who knows
Everything Em does is meticulous so that was definitely a shot at NF being a recovery clone, not a hard diss but still a call out and using him as an example for anyone like him.
@PrynceJ man you’ve never heard NF before? Bro I ignored his music for mad long and finally took a stab at a few of his songs and ever since then I got his 5 albums on fucking repeat in the car lol I’ve gotten absolutely hooked on his music. There’s very very very few artists I will even listen to and NF is now at the very top of that list. I’m telling you bro take a stab at “the search”, song is hard as fuck lol
This was one, of if not the best Eminem raps he ever put out. Straight fire. Flow, lyrics, content. He even says his lines go over everyones heads, then proceeds to muder the word play. Unreal.
Lol yes you got it! Your a smart guy knew you’d put it together. I love your content man! Your different than the other reactors sir. I enjoy your vibe, and dig your feedback! Keep up the good work!
I like literally bc im late 2 the video like everybodys comments i feel like i wanna copy n paste them alllll together bc its EVERYTHING im thinking rn 😂😂😂 i luv ur comment soooo much n i really needed 2 tell u that 😊👏👏👏👏💯
Did I’m not gonna lie you had me dying from laughter when the crest white strip verse came up, it’s funny because your so well spoken and proper with your words lol
Fun fact they actually used to bury people with a string tide to a bell above ground. So if they was buried alive they could ring the bell and get dug out. How often they would bury people alive is also believed to contribute to the vampire myth. Because people would have dig themselves out.
I just realized, when he says you will never see em icy but this cold as I get on the m.i.c bar he's saying you won't see him cold, but when he raps he's so cold that the river Thames might freeze, ayo.. thas a deeep ass bar bro let it sink in then comment its a quadruple entendre or bigger atleast
After you do the BET cypher, you should do MOSH by Eminem! He goes after Bush and he even says in the song that he is going to simplify the rhyme just to amplify the noise. He wanted everyone to be able to understand what he was saying and it's honestly still to this day one of the most powerful songs I have ever heard him do!!
Superb reaction as always! Would love to see an inception-video where you react to Knox Hills breakdown of this one, because there are sooo many obscure doubles and tripples that just blows your mind when pointed out. Great work!
4:25 It’s true I wasn’t even aware of that history. However for that particular bar, it’s still possible to come up with it even without knowing the past. Saying ‘I don’t see my breath in mirror ‘ is just another way of saying ‘I am dead’
You are the only reaction video I have ever seen that actually catches all or most of the bars. Great work. The only reaction page that really gets it.
You should check out the song Infinite, it's from his '96 album of the same name and has a huuuuge Nas/AZ feel to it. It's a completely different style from Em that hasn't really been heard since but is still slick as ever.
Em is a genius. Simply a genius. The line "you won't ever see em icy (won't ever see Em, i see/won't ever see (the) Em (that) i see/won't ever see Em ICY (like with jewels and stuff)/won't ever see Em icy (like ice, freeze) and then the connecting bar with "but as COLD as i get on the M-I-C, i polarize (polar ice) shit, so the Thames might freeze" - that bar is out of this fucking universe.
Thames river froze during the little ice age a few hundred years ago. Also inspired the writing of the novel Frankenstein. So yea, the UK and Northern Europe got colder and polar ice expanded a bit.
I feel MTBMB was super consistent and great the whole way through, so few songs being slept on with awesome beats to go with it. It was like a new TES.
Homie I live on an old plantation in Franklin County Va. My great uncle bought it on the GI bill. This place really got me into history, and I didn't know about the mirror thing until you said it on here
For me, Revival album is precious. It is Not for hearing it, but for listening it: 'Untouchable' , 'Believe' (my favour one) , 'Like Home' just for mention some of the songs from this album... Oh yes! Revival is different !!!
In the BET cypher he talks about fantastic 4 and the thing. He calls the thing orange. Charlamgne said that was a reach. And gave him donkey of the day.
Yep he messed up bc trump use to help him now Eminem got to big and don't care for no one but I listen to Eminem all the time but why can't he just leave politics out of it bc it sounds way better when he disses another artist like mgk
@@jacobgrover8977 yeah thats what he's stupid for 🤣it would be alot better with the politically crap out of it bc look at his song rap God it was a whole lot better
The saying should be "I dont even nod to the beat" meaning the music, but saying "I don't even nod to the BEATS" is also a double because he is listening to the beat through Beats by Dr. Dre headphones!
"Recovery clone of me"... he's talking about NF.. NF was influenced by Eminem, but NF has made his own path, sound and style. Thats one rapper I wish he would give a hat tip to, not a diss.
Oh the last portion of the song is heavily influenced by the BET Cypher; listen to this song again after hearing the Cypher!! Your reactions are dope!! 🖤🖤🖤
im an evil spell n then spells out evil, this man is a genius w the pen n word play. “youll never see em icy but as cold as i get on the m-i-c” is a bar too

The porterhouse line referenced the fact that when people went to listen to Eminem’s Revival they expected quick and easy bars (fast food, thus BK and McDonalds) but they got something much more complex and that’s somewhat the reason why Kamikaze was in many ways easier to understand, to fulfill the wishes of those who were expecting a less in depth album and just wanted Eminem to go off on everyone
Em explains how to make greatness. 🏆
Lloyd: "I dont know how many of yall out there have testicles"
Me: 🤣"Hits like button"
There is an effect in music where calling Eminem out or mentioning him in controversy will bring you some form of clout, typically its the high before the fall when Em shows up but he is put in a lose lose. If he retorts, he gives them more views and clout, if he doesn't then people keep calling him out.
In baseball, a "slider" is a pitch that changes direction. So that could also be a triple for people saying "Revival" was a bait-and-switch.
This was the first song on the abum after Revival, he often talked about how the media was basically telling everyone that Revival would be garbage cause of the features he had on before it even came out and they heared it and that they later wanted to be right.
This is also what he was refering to in his first verse (all those critics who don't have talent and don't get his bars). His albums since then drop without a release date and propagate just by his fanbase and his official channels without prior promotion (its also oldschool in a way that your friends tell you about the new album and not the media).
For me this song is basically his statement on what happened when Revival was released and after the beat changed he adresses the cypher.
I'm so glad i found your channel, your reaction seems so genuine and your very knowledgeable on the topics and bars! especially since a lot of other reactors just exaggerate for the video but not you! i can't wait to see the next video!
The line about the reactors was from when everyone was saying how on he previous album they didn't even listen to it yet and were judging it solely off 1 or 2 songs he let out early and the full song list he let out for the album revival
I found you VERY recently but I love your reactions. Nothing is overreacted, it's just a chill environment. Like I'm talking with a friend. Love the content man.
I AM INTERESTED IN SEEING MORE OF THIS TYPE OF CONTENT. hahaha great reaction man
Sir you have done your job. I am a 65 yo w female. I thought since you gave your time to listen for the first time to my music, the least I could do is give you some time and listen to yours. This is my first time hearing Eminem. It’s very interesting having you explain the lyrics, helpful! Thank you for expanding my music landscape!
Everyone heard the nfing line and thought he was talking about nf. Then later nf came out with returns and thought he was taking shots back at Eminem. So who knows
Everything Em does is meticulous so that was definitely a shot at NF being a recovery clone, not a hard diss but still a call out and using him as an example for anyone like him.
He the only one I seen to bring any attention too that line correctly
I do think it was a shot at NF, but I very highly doubt that NF was taking a shot back at him on Returns.
@@chrisbays6690 Knox Hill spotted it instantly, and broke it down in detail, even the part about NF never swearing in his raps
@PrynceJ man you’ve never heard NF before? Bro I ignored his music for mad long and finally took a stab at a few of his songs and ever since then I got his 5 albums on fucking repeat in the car lol I’ve gotten absolutely hooked on his music. There’s very very very few artists I will even listen to and NF is now at the very top of that list. I’m telling you bro take a stab at “the search”, song is hard as fuck lol
The craziest thing was this was completely a surprise album
I really enjoy all your reviews you’re so articulate and have a calm demeanor I like how you break down the bars keep it up
This was one, of if not the best Eminem raps he ever put out. Straight fire. Flow, lyrics, content. He even says his lines go over everyones heads, then proceeds to muder the word play. Unreal.
Lol yes you got it! Your a smart guy knew you’d put it together. I love your content man! Your different than the other reactors sir. I enjoy your vibe, and dig your feedback! Keep up the good work!
I like literally bc im late 2 the video like everybodys comments i feel like i wanna copy n paste them alllll together bc its EVERYTHING im thinking rn 😂😂😂 i luv ur comment soooo much n i really needed 2 tell u that 😊👏👏👏👏💯
😂 I know what you mean. 😀 really that’s so awesome...thank you so much 🙏
@@beatslikemic3176 youre soooo welcome 😊 i totally HAVE 2 and ALWAYS show respect n luv 💜 when its due! 💯
@@cplaza81 ♥️ thank you 😊
Quote of the whole video "I don't how many of you guys have testicles but..." yo this had my almost crying 🤣
Did I’m not gonna lie you had me dying from laughter when the crest white strip verse came up, it’s funny because your so well spoken and proper with your words lol
Microphones have polarization options on condenser mics. So "Am icy" on the "Em I see" On the "Mic" It's a quadruple entendre.
I've seen a ton of reactions to this song, but your views and breakdowns always show me something new. Thank you 😊
Fun fact they actually used to bury people with a string tide to a bell above ground. So if they was buried alive they could ring the bell and get dug out. How often they would bury people alive is also believed to contribute to the vampire myth. Because people would have dig themselves out.
I just realized, when he says you will never see em icy but this cold as I get on the m.i.c bar he's saying you won't see him cold, but when he raps he's so cold that the river Thames might freeze, ayo.. thas a deeep ass bar bro let it sink in then comment its a quadruple entendre or bigger atleast
Literally one of the hardest Rap bars ever in my opinion that shit was crazyyyyy
@@smmaistheway i heard it as the EM i See crazy how Em does that with one phrase.
After you do the BET cypher, you should do MOSH by Eminem! He goes after Bush and he even says in the song that he is going to simplify the rhyme just to amplify the noise. He wanted everyone to be able to understand what he was saying and it's honestly still to this day one of the most powerful songs I have ever heard him do!!
Are you still a Eminem fan?
I can’t be the only one that’s here to hear your commentary on some of Em’s more “outrageous” bars 🤣.
Subscribed 😂
This guy, caught more than I've seen anywhere on RUclips. This guy, is SMART. Subscribed and set to ALL notifications.
Superb reaction as always!
Would love to see an inception-video where you react to Knox Hills breakdown of this one, because there are sooo many obscure doubles and tripples that just blows your mind when pointed out.
Great work!
4:25 It’s true I wasn’t even aware of that history. However for that particular bar, it’s still possible to come up with it even without knowing the past. Saying ‘I don’t see my breath in mirror ‘ is just another way of saying ‘I am dead’
He purposely changed his cadence in a half dozen ways to kind of troll the mumble rappers who only do one thing the entire song
You are the only reaction video I have ever seen that actually catches all or most of the bars. Great work. The only reaction page that really gets it.
You should check out the song Infinite, it's from his '96 album of the same name and has a huuuuge Nas/AZ feel to it. It's a completely different style from Em that hasn't really been heard since but is still slick as ever.
Your voice is so comfortable. Good reaction!
You missed the bar where he says, "invite em in like a one a day" One a Day Vitamins. Quality bar...
Em is a genius. Simply a genius.
The line "you won't ever see em icy (won't ever see Em, i see/won't ever see (the) Em (that) i see/won't ever see Em ICY (like with jewels and stuff)/won't ever see Em icy (like ice, freeze) and then the connecting bar with "but as COLD as i get on the M-I-C, i polarize (polar ice) shit, so the Thames might freeze" - that bar is out of this fucking universe.
He's just referring to all the hate and bad reviews his revival Album received
Thames river froze during the little ice age a few hundred years ago. Also inspired the writing of the novel Frankenstein. So yea, the UK and Northern Europe got colder and polar ice expanded a bit.
Love your breakdowns man. Keep it up, you were made for this
Thats why i love eminem....he says what he wants to say
Gotta get to Music to be Murdered By.... it's loaded with dope trax. His best album in years, better than Kamikaze IMO
For sure side a and side b both
I agree. Both sides of MTBMB are better than Kamikaze (which is pretty good too)!
I feel MTBMB was super consistent and great the whole way through, so few songs being slept on with awesome beats to go with it. It was like a new TES.
Homie I live on an old plantation in Franklin County Va. My great uncle bought it on the GI bill. This place really got me into history, and I didn't know about the mirror thing until you said it on here
You need to watch the BET Cypher he did to understand this song.
For me, Revival album is precious. It is Not for hearing it, but for listening it:
'Untouchable' , 'Believe' (my favour one) , 'Like Home' just for mention some of the songs from this album...
Oh yes! Revival is different !!!
He's not talking about you he's talking about the rappers
“I don’t know how many of you all have testicles bro” is the funniest thing I’ve heard in a minute and idk why. You got a sub for that sir.
Sir you have to listen to “I’m Not Racist” by Joyner Lucas. I swear you will not be disappointed. Very powerful song!!!
Your commentary killed me lol. Your proper tone is professional for what you’re reviewing. Well done!
More Kamikaze🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🎧🎧🎧
In the BET cypher he talks about fantastic 4 and the thing. He calls the thing orange. Charlamgne said that was a reach. And gave him donkey of the day.
I’ll never relate to anything more than “Generally don’t trust lyrics on the screen” more than half have lyrics wrong lmao
Ringer is one of the hardest rap songs. Hands down. Em killed it.
Yep, he dissed Trump. That's what he is talking about.
And the secret service really went and questioned him. That had to suck
Yep he messed up bc trump use to help him now Eminem got to big and don't care for no one but I listen to Eminem all the time but why can't he just leave politics out of it bc it sounds way better when he disses another artist like mgk
@@gamersproductions8304 apparently you dont know eminem then?? Hes been political since day one my guy THATS TUFF!
@@jacobgrover8977 yeah thats what he's stupid for 🤣it would be alot better with the politically crap out of it bc look at his song rap God it was a whole lot better
@@jacobgrover8977 and I do know Eminem lol but thats why I listen to lill wayne and juice wrld more bc they leave that stuff out
"idk how many of you guys have testicles out there bro" 🤣 I instantly subscribed lol I haven't laughed that hard in a while
The saying should be "I dont even nod to the beat" meaning the music, but saying "I don't even nod to the BEATS" is also a double because he is listening to the beat through Beats by Dr. Dre headphones!
the thames used to freeze over occasionally from 1309 up until 1814, so thick in fact that they would have fairs and even giant bonfires on the ice.
"Recovery clone of me"... he's talking about NF.. NF was influenced by Eminem, but NF has made his own path, sound and style. Thats one rapper I wish he would give a hat tip to, not a diss.
The way you speak sir is just wow
Oh the last portion of the song is heavily influenced by the BET Cypher; listen to this song again after hearing the Cypher!!
Your reactions are dope!!
🖤🖤🖤
I’ve listened to this song so many times and I didn’t even catch what you caught. Cheers mate
Agent Orange is Donald Trump 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Bro the way you say RELIGIOUS LEADER before realizing he was talking about trumo was fucking perfect
Bro if you start reacting more frequently to Eminem you’re gonna blow up without fail 😂
im an evil spell n then spells out evil, this man is a genius w the pen n word play. “youll never see em icy but as cold as i get on the m-i-c” is a bar too
stan isn't your cup of tea" his song stan is prob one of the best songs ever written, story about obsessed fan. its the reason term stan exists and even got a spot in a dictionary
I’m glad I got recommended this channel. Very chill good breakdowns and always looking for another RUclips’s who can make their breakdowns and reactions interesting and chill 👍🏼👍🏼 keep up the great work
