Then there's what I dubbed the "money/ cash/ hos" rap. Hollow lyrics that only try to boost their own egos. They've got nothing on this level of rap and rhyme schemes. Busta is another one with a super intricate rap style.
I’m an ELA teacher. Eminem is why I don’t discourage kids from their dreams. Eminem has said he was terrible at school and failed everything. BUT his ability to create rhyme and poetry with his lyrics and emphasize syllables to create the beats so tightly…it’s on another level.
Teacher here, he’s easily one of the most creative musical artists I’ve ever witnessed and I like some pretty good stuff (MM isn’t usually my style but I still LOVE how catchy and talented he is).
I can only confirm your point. I had been the worst pupil from jnr school through highschool. A thug nearly had an OD. Wake up call, military service and now run my own company. It takes calm advice not this is what you will do. My 19yr old daughter walked out of a college course due to bullying by a lecturer. After working with me and listening to how I explain she is now sailing through a business course and walked an accounting test. A lecturer stated she should work in health and safety after passing a 98% test result, apparently not been done before with that lecturer. Some things just sink in with people. For myself it had been Shakespeare in highschool. Apart from English and biology I sacked at all other classes. Do you think its how things are taught or explained???
@@justintime1307 I think it’s a little of both. Most curriculum standards are based on standardized testing. Well that is based on college prep and college just isn’t for everyone and that’s okay. Then if a teacher is failing to make connections with students to help deliver instruction in a way that student needs, that’s on the instructor. If little MM had been in my class, I would’ve encouraged him to create and write lyrics while mapping out the structure of the music. I would’ve found a way to align this with curriculum standards.
@kateashby3066 100% agree. He is one of the best writers...regardless of genre. Unbelievable talent. I'm a classic rock fan...LZ, PF, etc so this isn't my first choice but he is so much fun to listen to.
@@Elvis-is-king-l3sgen z here, 18. Most of my music is OG’s like Dr Dre, Eminem, 50 cent, icecube, so on. I listen to a lot of music from the 70s to the early 2000s i prefer it more then recent artists. So Amy winehouse, Elvis Presley, queen, incubus, so on. I have a list too long to say it all. 😭
3:35 he wasn't dissing Elvis. He was dissing the parents. When they were young Elvis and his music and hip-movements were quite controversial for THEIR parents. He is pointing out the hypocrisy
He also talks about how Elvis used black music to get wealthy. For example the song “Hound Dog” was originally from a black female singer “Big Mama Thornton” and she tried to sue Elvis over copy rights back then but you know how blacks were treated in the 50s and 60s.
@@Nickyrewind you cant understand mumble rap, you can actually hear almost every single word here, even if you dont like this type of music, it is still very clearly different.
@Nickyrewind You’re kidding, surely? English is my second language and imo Eminem has the clearest enunciation of any rapper. This is super easy to understand.
My stoned ass has had the worst week and watching you discover Eminem, has literally brought me so much joy. You have literally made my day - love, an Elder Millennial.
Eminem is timeless. My 7 year old was rapping lose yourself in the park the other day and some 40 year old walked past and joined in. Greatest lyricist of all time. Total genius.
Lose yourself in the music The moment you own you better never let it go You get one shot don't miss your chance to blow This opportunity come once in a lifetime yo
7:00 he's actually not just talking about how the RAP game needs him, this whole SONG is about how he was fighting against censorship in general. He talks about the FCC, who got on him for bullshit that they bothered NO other rapper about, MTV almost removing his music videos due to "backlash", and Dick Cheney's wife calling him something along the lines of "a menace to American society"! The whole song is a HUGE middle finger to all of them (and many others) who kept trying to officially censor him completely! Back then, most of hip-hop and the rap game respected Em. Also, if you want to know "how he writes that on paper", look up pictures of some of the papers he wrote his rhymes on...it won't tell you HOW, but it will show you how disjointedly ordered his mind is when putting words together.
I would listen to the whole Marshall mathers and the Eminem show album. He knows how to break down words to make them rhyme with other words they have no business rhyming with. You’re right thiss is why he is the goat. He also wrote Forget about Dre, since u know who Dre is, I would listen to that.
I loved this album and music videos in early 2000 and guess what, I had barely learned little bit English by that time. But because it is all so perfect you can enjoy the melodies and rhimes without even getting the full meaning. I knew the words Without me before really knowing what he mend. I did get the Please stand up, please stand up. And we loved the Elvis mockery without knowing about the whole controversy.
Believe me, I was around when Eminem first came on the scene. We reacted the same way that you did, well, except nobody cared about "The F word", but other then that we were AMAZED. Everything before that was every rapper basically bragging about how they were the sh!t and nobody could top them. Then Eminem came along and was the opposite. He would poke fun at himself but everyone respected him even MORE when he did. He was basically saying what we all felt...and making millions and hits while doing it.
same. moving out of the mid/late 90s into this was so eye opening to what was possible lyrically. definitely a sick time to be alive to experience this stuff as it was happening. it's cool to go back and listen to old tracks but there's no other feeling than seeing the album in a record store with no real expectations and ending up with this in your headphones
@@tamerajohnson7747that’s very fair. But for this time period, Eminem was the one that did that but also started rhyming shit that never should be going together.
If you continue to dive into Eminem, some things to keep in mind. He references a lot of pop culture at the time the tracks/albums came out so you may miss quite a bit. He put a lot of his personal life and references to it in his music. It may benefit you to check out a documentary or two about him to get some background. You will find he can do any flow over any beat. He finds some pockets nobody would ever think of. Enjoy the ride.
Yeah so we grew up on this as kids and teens so you can see why our generation wasnt feeling the whole trap/mumble rap thing because the expectation was that rappers SHOULD BE ABLE TO RAP
Paul McCartney, lead singer of The Beatles - a band most people will know if you don't you can look them up was so popular twenty years after The Beatles he was allowed to release the bloody frog song. Which for some reason is still allowed on You Tube. ruclips.net/video/gVfaf43W9cM/видео.htmlsi=UsOK-6Ri3SbSESHv I have no idea why.
Pick any genre of music. Millennials couldn't do it. Still can't. Gen-Z never will. Music ended with Gen-X because none of the following generations have any talent, skill or imagination.
Dude Eminem's rhymes are absolutely filthy. To see a young guy in the industry really break it down and show how intricately incredible and ingenious this guy was is really cool. "it's like, every single syllable is so tightly planted in the pocket of the beat, and they're all so annunciated" excellent description. I've always thought, as well, how crazy impressive it is how eminem literally doesn't miss a single syllable with the beat (how each freaking syllable 'fits in the pocket' like it belongs there) and not only that - it all MAKES SENSE and flows like no other! It's very difficult to describe how on another level of perfection eminem's raps are but you've done it better than I've ever heard anyone describe his writing before. The guy is a literal musical prodigy.
The fact that you got that far into the song without realizing you were listening to the clean version is a great example of how freaking good em is .ps now you see why my generation listens to todays rap and get frustrated. This is what we grew up listening to on the radio
Yeah I thought the same. Like this the clean version. This offends you? Well I guess you better not listen to bloodhound gang bad touch or chase lane. XD not much phased us gen xers, xennials and millennials.
‘I really hope this isn’t just a song that was good in the 90s’ 32 year old shakes pensioner head in disbelief. I heard my first public service announcement in 2001 at 10 years old
I'm 22 and born in 2002 and I felt absolutely disrespected when he said that I grew up on old school hip hop that shit hurt because there is really good songs
@@CoolJamz887 I’d be interested to hear the kind of ‘old school hip hop’ you grew up with being born in 2002. I was born in 1991 and even I only just made it into the golden era of hiphop
79 here and its a crazy thing to say cause hip hop has been on a steady downhill since the late 90's early 2000's . market is swamped with auto tune mumble rappers with zero talent . no real dj's, no creativity, people that can barely rhyme and can't sing at all , just mass produced formula pop music . there are a few stand outs for sure but still...
@@SJRice born in 71 and hip-hop is a big part of my life, I live in Europe, and I was one of the first white guys listen to hip-hop in 1983, Kool Moe Dee, Kurtis Blow, Clinton, P-Funk, Africa, Bambaataa, run, DMC, LL Cool J, and the beastie boys start it off…
Em is a lyrical genius, he used to read the dictionary for fun. There was a video of him saying that there was no word that rhymes with orange. ‘Em took that personally and found a way to make it rhyme. Me as a 30 year old and I grew up with Eminem listening to his old stuff is a nostalgia trip.
Yep. His 60 Minutes interview. It's a must watch. He says that it pisses him off when he hears nothing rhymes with orange. He states something to the effect of...yeah, no single words rhyme. But what about door hinge?
The funny thing is for anyone who grew up when this came out, MILDEST Eminem song ever. He and Dre are Batman and robin. “This looks like a job for me now everybody follow me we need a little controversy cause it feels so empty without me”. That’s like the most radio friendly song besides maybe Sing for the Moment and Lose Yourself
Me in the beginning of the video: Did this mf just call me old? I'm not old! Me 2 min later: Wtf is "glazing"? 😂 Great reaction man, welcome to the endless Rabbit hole that is Eminem (pun intended, if you know, you know)
Em’s lyrics are studied. Courses offered focus on his lyrics: “Eminem might be a controversial figure for some, but academia is fascinated with him. There are thousands of research papers dedicated to Em. Only this year, he was mentioned in published articles over 600 times. Social science, music history, philosophy and literature are the fields that study Marshall’s legacy the most.”
Theres no need to study his lyrics back then, you thinking about it way too deep. And trying too hard. If a rapper makes it to where his audience gotta study his lyrics, then he failed... i dont think Eminem was going for that lol. His flow back then in his peak was tight, and rhyme scheme was crazy. But it was easy for the casuals to listen to it lol. Thats what Eminem was going for
@@kiing_e3122 'need' is a very strong word. But exactly that he rhymes so well and has such a way with words is a big reason people _do_ study him. Let alone the also mentioned social science and political reasons. Just because you don't like studying doesn't make it a bad thing if people study something you like, lol. Quite the contrary, if you get contrasted and compared to shakespeare and fontane in literature studies i think is a very distinct honor for a lyricist, completely irrelevant of being a rapper or not. Also, everybody who fcking _aims_ to be studied or makes it a prerequisite to be understood is wack af and doesn't deserve to be on sheer spite :D
@@SeleenShadowpaw i see what u mean. But a rap artist also has to make it listenable for the casuals. And honestly even if u arent a casual, you understand that the best lyricists are the ones who make their lyrics sound simple. Eminem was great back then because he could rhyme multiple syllables, but at the same time it sound like he was literally having a conversation with you. While at the same time flowing on the beat. And Eminem now a days is doing the exact opposite of that. He's just rhyming a bunch of words for the fuck of it, with terrible delivery and flow
@@kiing_e3122 That too, and while Eminem is fantastic when it comes to lyrics and rapping, it's not like he was the first to do this. Not even the first white guy. Dutch (white) rapper Brainpower was already doing this long before Eminem. Just to name an example. Eminem was just the first with this style to make it to the world top and popularize it.
As a first year Gen X'er, this was my time, and I immediately fell in love with Em's all absolute genius and attitude, seeing a Gen Z'er discover these revolutionary classics and appreciate them gives me so much life. I love this!
@@babangidaomolos5104 What, you can’t handle a couple exclamation points??!!??!! Then…. Keep on scrolling!!! Have a great day ya lil whipper snapper!!!!
If you think dressing up as Osama Bin Laden would be controversial now - well, it was a lot more of a sensitive issue back then when the whole thing was still fresh in everybody's mind. 🙃
I mean, it takes a certain type to get away with shit like that. Em was famous and respected AF already when he dropped this track, so everybody just took it for what it was, at face value. If some random white guy who nobody knew did that (either then or now), it would be recieved much differently. That said, it's not like he did any of his controversial shit simply for the sake of it cause he knew he could get away with it. He did it because it was his art form and he didn't care if people loved or hated him for it.
EXACTLY! I'm 45, i don't listen to rap, but my generation has been blown away by this guy since day One. And now you see why! He has a BUNCH of songs JUST Like This! Superman, the one he does with D12, Too many songs to name, honestly. Thank you for the video, I was right there with you, reliving my astonishment and bobbin my head to the beat. The only difference was that I've heard it so many times, that i was singing along with him! You'll get there 😎
there's so many people who don't listen to rap, and only listen to Eminem, but then complaint that there's no good rap these days. Good to see you're not one of them 👍
I made my mom listen to Lose Yourself during a road trip when I was 19, she loved it- but won't listen to anything else of his. Oh well I guess, she's a Boomer
"He's not even talking about nothing" Correction: he was talking about a lot. There was legislation bouncing around, back then, about moving from "parental advisory" to outright banning stuff. This song was all about that. The "nah nah nah" at the end was for the fact that it failed (or was failing, I'm not sure what the exact timing was). It was especially hilarious because they played some of his music in the House at some of the hearings and debates. That explains why so many 90s metal heads are big Eminem fans. He was working to save our music, too, cuz it was as much on the chopping block as hip hop
There is SO much you aren’t even picking up in the video, like Puck from The Real World or the jab at Moby. Everything was very much directed towards pop culture of the time.
Play nice! I appreciate his genuine excitement and respect. How many people under the age of 45 or 50 actually understand the meaning behind "Can't catch me cuz the rabbit done died" 🤣Doesn't mean they can't enjoy Aerosmith. No one, who didn't live it, will pick up all the pop culture. Especially when he's never really listened to Eminem. We were drinking out the water hose but this kid just got hit in the face with a fire hose! Let him catch his breath LOL
Hear me out: "Well I'm back nana nana nana nana nana, fix your bent antenna, tune it in and then I'm gonna enter in up... under your skin like a splinter" This probably the most insane lyrically genius bars he's ever made. Everything about it is impossibly impressive
Na like he said on the song fuel from the death of slim shady. “Do not test like an essay (why?) 'Cause like where my homies out West stay (yeah) We can just say (what?) I'm like a R-A-P-E-R (yeah) Got so many S-As (S-As), S-As (huh) Wait, he didn't just spell the word, "Rapper" and leave out a P, did he?” By far is the best imo
@@ericparker163 There's also Gatman & Robbin by 50 Cent where the beat uses the 1966 batman intro as a sample, and they pretty much flow the entire song following that tune
I’m a oldhead now, but the way you are hearing this now and reacting?!? Bro, this was 💯me back when this shit dropped. I had never heard any lyrics and flows like this! Now, 20+ years later…it holds up, but he’s still dropping shit that is 3 levels up. Watching you hear it for the first time is a joy, because it is special and you recognize it!! Keep going! New sub here!
Eminem's ability to finish the rhyme at any point during the bar and it just works is crazy. Sometimes it's the end of the couplet, sometimes he'll throw a second ending in there, sometimes he'll just start a new one. It's pure percussion.
Yeah I'll give it a shot. "Some vodka that'll jumpstart my heart quicker than a shock when I get shocked at the hospital by the doctor when I'm not cooperating when I'm rockin' the table while he's operating." The parts of the rhyme scheme he's bouncing off each other here are "vodka", "-start my", "heart quick-", "shock when", "shocked at", "hospit-", "doctor", "cooper-", "rockin'", "oper-". In what would traditionally be a set of maybe two couplets he's rhymed ten times and he's using Ts Ks and Ps, which are big plosive sounds and give a percussive sound. At the same time he pops a traditional couplet in there "... cooperating, ... operating" and two of those ten rhymes form a couplet of their own, ending their own bars with "heart quicker" and "hospital". "A rebel, so let me just revel and bask in the fact that I got everyone kissin' my ass and it's a disaster, such a catastrophe For you to see so damn much of my ass you asked for me?" We're given "rebel" and "revel" (which are actually bouncing off "revol-" in "revolution" in the previous bar) while he's setting up "bask" and "ass" to form a traditional couplet. Then the first half of the next bar drops a rhyming "as" in "disaster" and the second half another rhyming "as" in "catastrophe", and the final bar of the four keeps it bumping along with "ass" and "asked". At the same time, while he's trailbraking the "ass" rhyme scheme he fires up another with "-phe", "see", and "me" which starts and ends its own couplet with an extra rhyme in the middle of the second bar of it. When he does these things, where he finishes a couplet and then rhymes it again in the first half of the next bar, or a rhyme appears and disappears independently of the greater structure or he rhymes ten times in four bars (six of which are in the first two, so it isn't evenly paced), it breaks what would otherwise be a predictable and stilted pattern and turns it into something with a more continuous flow but slightly less predictable structure (which is more interesting).
@cl0udbear Thanks bro. I appreciated the effort in that. I like music but it's a little deeper than other people's liking music so it's nice to pick the brain of someone who looks at it deeper.
@@cl0udbear incredible review thanks, love to see it written out so clearly you do a great job laying it out, Eminem is a true genius and absolutely gifted
Speaking as someone who only sorta likes rap, but LOVES and writes poetry, Eminem is a fucking master wordsmith. His rapping is another instrument, or aspect of the beat for one, he's not just... overlaying his voice on a track. His voice is PART of it. Play an instrumental version of Without Me (I'm sure it exists) and even excluding the lyrics being missing, it'll feel like it's missing something to be a track. But his syllabic control and rhyme schemes are better than most actual poets. He's almost like a Spoken Word artist. He isn't going A/B/A/B. He rhymes mid bar to mid bar and the end to the end at times. His wordplay and double/triple entendres are mad. One line can mean 3/4 different things at once at the same time. (less so in Without Me, it's more straightforward) Also, it's worth mentioning that while a lot of his rap (especially early) is angry for reasons big and small, he is also very often not very serious and just being offensive for offense's sake. He will take shots at ANYONE. Nobody is safe. Most of the time he barely means any offense personally unless THEY take shots first.
I think we've learned over 20+ years what happens when you take shots at Em, the goat... you'll keep on catching strays (although purposeful strays if that even makes sense) for the rest of his existence.
If you react like that to Eminem, you'll get off like crazy on stuff like NWA, Run DMC, DMX, Malcom McLaren and the Famous Supreme Team Show, Beastie Boy, House of Pain, and so on... Gen Z need to eat sh1tloads of buttered bread until they can appreciate anything like this.
There's a reason no current rap has been charting. It's so fucking bad. XD Apart from the rap, why does all the music on the radio sound like bad pop and elevator music had a baby? There are some great artists out there, but most of the trash that's being played on the radio these days is so fucking boring and unimaginative. There has never been such a soulless generation. What a tragedy. Guess the old music's gotta pick up the slack.
Eh, some of the newer stuff is good too. Most of the old stuff is bad too, but nobody remembers the garbage! Survivorship bias - if you listen to old music, you're listening to the best (or at least the most popular!)
11:37 if this happened today it wouldn’t matter, Eminem did it not even a year after 9/11 for this song and even back then when it would have been the worst time to do it, still didn’t get him cancelled.
He wrote in another song patiently waiting that shady records headquarters was a block away from the towers and they hit the wrong building saying the planes were meant for his building lol
He didn't get canceled because that generation didn't try to destroy people for " hurting their feelings or offending them! They've pretty much wrecked freedom in America! You're free to speak ( if they like what you say, or you agree with them). Soft.
Eminem came out and we all loved it! I’m an 80s rock and metal girl and this man made me check out rap. He just doesn’t care what people think. He’s hilarious! He’s a lyrical genius! Genx will never allow this man to be cancelled!
Thank you! So many people assume that was the dirty version and I always remember it isn't when I don't hear the line "cum on her lips and cum on her tits" lol.
@@afifsalim5533 yes yes that was implied, i was gonna say Rop God but Zeus was wink for the real Stans and anyone who listened to Music ToBeMurderedBy,also Zeus is a God
I’m sorry for anyone who didn’t get to experience this on the real MTV getting ready for school or the watching late at night. This was a much better childhood than the kids are getting today 💜
Keep in mind Eminem holds 13 Guinness World Records for sales and streams, and holds the record for most words (225) in a 30 second segment averaging 7.5 words a second. He's also said to have the largest vocabulary of any rapper. Enjoy researching this rap icon.
Listing to Eminem for 25years, jaw on the floor each time an album drops. Imagine just discovering Em and binging his albums in a few weeks. Theres no way.
This was so awesome to watch..I'm smiling!! I'm 47 now but to see such a huge appreciation from someone so young for something so nostalgic was really uplifting. The 90s and early 00s were an amazing time, truly. Thank you for this, it made me happy 😊
Omg I am the same age and really loved his reaction to hearing Eminem for the first time. Eminem isn't kidding he really does nest in your ear! LOL Verticile: it was a pleasure to watch you enjoy this! Put a huge smile on my face! Very happy to hear you understand the assignment! Enjoy the rest of your Eminem ride! Even his newest song Houdini is pretty awesome!
When he says “fuck you Debbie”, I always feel the urge to sing it with him🤣. For those who don’t understand the reference, Debbie, his mom, sued him back then. So many references in this song and video that only Gen X and Millenials would understand.
must want a dollar for every pill I've been stealin' as a gen z who is on the verge of being gen alpha, (we don't talk about them) i think we should go back before all this woke bullshit, when eminem was still slim shady. i wasn't alive but it sounds like a better time than right now
You really need to understand that GenX grew up with NO censorship. If you dont believe me just check out Dee Snider's Congressional testimony on censorship. he Tells Al gore that his "Righteous wife" is a closet freak. It was actually pretty refreshing to see a GenZ taking a journey and slowly realizing why Eminem is one of the GOATs, and a lyrical master. And yes he can make a rhyme using the word Orange.
We grew up with massive attempts at censorship though, and it is a victory that all they accomplished are those stupid little stickers on CDs. Lord knows it ain’t for lack of effort. They tried to shut down the most benign stuff for decades. That’s why even if I don’t personally count myself as a fan of some of the artists of the 80s and 90s who refused to be shut down, I’ll always count them as heroes for not letting this nation become a bland christian borefest. Even tho I was only a kid for some of it, I knew artists had the right to say whatever they wanted to say in their art and did not like hearing about an artist being banned from stores or the radio. And I count Eminem among those heroes because he was fighting the fight on the tail end of that era. Just off the top of my head we gotta give it up for Prince, Madonna, 2 Live Crew, Ice-T, Jello Biafra, GG Allin, Dee Snyder, Howard Stern, Marilyn Manson, NWA, and yes, Eminem, for fighting that good fight.
@@VERTICILE Oh he has a legit reason to hate his mom. She used to drug him up as a kid as she suffered from Munchhausen by proxy. She also sued him for 10 million after he aired all his childhood traumas in his songs. Theres a lot more but that should give you a start to understanding lol
@@ceus90 to no one cares what you make up in you head. He is a 90s rapper because he dropped 2 albums in the 90s lol your opinion doesn’t mean anything.
Bro if you're blown away by this, you aren't ready for "The Ringer". This is back when Eminem was FIRST getting on the scene and it didn't take much to blow away the competition because no one else sounded like this. But with the J. Cole's and Kendrick's and other rap icons coming out over the next 5-10 years he had to step his game up. And he quickly showed them why he is the best to ever do it and probably will always be the GOAT
Never watched one of your vids/reviews before but your carefully calculated, genuinely, well thought out comments/reviews of this masterpiece made me a fan of YOU. I have NEVER repeatedly watched a reaction/review vid until now. Your insights were deep and, again, genuine. Well done!
I remember listening to these albums in junior high and high school and now it’s hilarious that I’m 40 and watching what I would consider to be kids just starting to discover Eminem
Eminem lives, breathes and would probably die for hip hop. A little history about one of the things that makes EM' so great is that he actually read and studied the dictionary when he was growing up. It's one reason why he's so great and probably the greatest when it comes to putting words together and breaking words down.
He’s ridiculously mad skilled! A fucking savage! I grew up on him, irritated my parents I’m sure. I’m pissed that my text book covers I actually used and not saved “Tupac and Biggie.” Dido is legend and when that collaboration came-- F’n no joke!
He was certainly 1 of a kind and incredible but I would argue that biggie, Tupac and ice cube were all on his level and I'm sure others can also be mentioned
@@godders991 yeah there are a lot of great artists no doubt but they all had short careers. Eminem is like the Tom Brady of rap, been making hits for 30 years. That’s a crazy level of musical genius
@@GrimReaper01776 that’s not how Goat status works, no one comes close to the amount of music and sales. And you people really say anything, he’s literally the only rapper I’ve ever heard consistently diss diddy and flat out says he doesn’t like him since he first dropped in 95 to even his recent songs. Him and 50 cent are quite literally the only rappers not on the diddy list
I was a pre-teen when this came out, I loved Eminem because of his word play and for the fact that his music made my neurodivergent brain actually focus on one thing at a time for a bit, while still allowing me to vent my hyperactive tendencies. Dunno how or why, but his rhyme, rhythm and humour just scratched an itch in my brain 😅. In this particular song the beat is addicting on its own, but what he does with it is a mix of madness and pure genius at the same time. I fell out of listening to rap after I discovered metal (which can have a fair amount of rap mixed in) but I will always have a soft spot for em, his creativity and his technical skill with words and music. I never get tired of younger generations reacting to him and discovering just what kind of madness was produced by this man in the early 2000s.
@@ericparker163fr, dude only listens to mumble rap and talks down on the best decades of rap. I want him to react and listen to schoolly d-another sign or project pat-life we live. bro don’t know shit
Me being confused about what he meant when he said he doesn't support the "f word" halfway through the song until he replayed it really shows the difference between our ages 💀 I'm glad he can support the lyricism of the song nonetheless
I love how this dude is pretending he doesn't already know every word to this song😅😂 deep down he wants to spit every verse! Its ok we've all been there lol
To watch the genuine realization of how genius Eminem is with EVERY meticulously planned out syllable from somebody from GenZ is great. Most GenZ hates on Eminem just because it's 'COOL' to do so. If given the HONEST chance.. I feel like this may be ONE artist that everybody could collectively agree upon. Could expand on that but the genius itself is enough to digress. It's pretty 'adrenalin pumping' to see somebody react the SAME way I did (without the ability to -as freely- rewind on a dime to catch EVERYTHING (or almost) on first listen). Good content man.
@0:21 "Eminem was the first to have a heavy cancel culture" ever hear of the Beatles, Elvis, Twisted sister, NWA, ? just to name a few that tried to be canceled.
@@GEROKII I didnt miss hear him. Take Elvis for example, They tried to put him in Jail and refused to play his music on many radios. this was 70 years ago. Many other artists faces simular issues with there art even 100 years ago. So if it was happing so long before Em came out how could he be one of the first?
@@johncollins3910 Key words is "one of". And if you didn't mishear the video, you misquoted it. Eminem is definitely one of the first to have heavy cancel culture against him. Again, not the first. One of the first. Beatles never had heavy cancel culture against them. NWA got told to not play a concert once by the police and the police only wanted autographs. That's not heavy cancel culture. Eminem literally had people demonstrating against him, and the President blaming him for real world problems, and organizations condemning him. This shouldn't even be a conversation
@@GEROKII Beatles had a huge back lash over their long hair in the 50s and early 60s. If you think the only thing that ever happened to NWA is they got told not to play a concern once. you really don't know your hip hop history. The Regans went to war with most of the gangster rap artists at that time and NWA was there number 1 target. If you don't think the presidents wife taking a vandeta to get NWA canceled heavy cancel culter then I don't know what is. At one time some 90% (and maybe still today) of the radio stations across the country banned playing NWA. I seem to remember stories of Nancy Regan burning NWA albums on the white house lawn.
There's a reason why he became goat. Even Tipper Gore had admit that his lyrics are pronounced so that you understand what's said. As a non-native speaker it made it easy to get behind it all. The thing Americans often overlook is how Em influenced the rest of the world! He bought rap to new countries. He had that humor that captured even my interest at a time I really didn't care for rap. And he's continued it quarter of a century. He got clean, he stepped up on her nieces and nephews and made sure they as well as his own daughter have a loving home.

Find slim shady on Monday and cancel Eminem on Tuesday 🐐🐐🐐🐐
Now you know why late 80's/90's kids hate Mumble Rap.
Then there's what I dubbed the "money/ cash/ hos" rap. Hollow lyrics that only try to boost their own egos. They've got nothing on this level of rap and rhyme schemes. Busta is another one with a super intricate rap style.
Except eminem really blew up after 1999.
Mumble rap? More like corporate bawls and peener in their mouth.
@@bettywillbrowse But we were old enough to listen to him.
no he doesnt. this guy is still trying to figure out how words can rhyme. theres not much he knows. its probably a struggle to get dressed.
I’m an ELA teacher. Eminem is why I don’t discourage kids from their dreams. Eminem has said he was terrible at school and failed everything. BUT his ability to create rhyme and poetry with his lyrics and emphasize syllables to create the beats so tightly…it’s on another level.
Teacher here, he’s easily one of the most creative musical artists I’ve ever witnessed and I like some pretty good stuff (MM isn’t usually my style but I still LOVE how catchy and talented he is).
I can only confirm your point. I had been the worst pupil from jnr school through highschool.
A thug nearly had an OD. Wake up call, military service and now run my own company. It takes calm advice not this is what you will do.
My 19yr old daughter walked out of a college course due to bullying by a lecturer. After working with me and listening to how I explain she is now sailing through a business course and walked an accounting test.
A lecturer stated she should work in health and safety after passing a 98% test result, apparently not been done before with that lecturer.
Some things just sink in with people.
For myself it had been Shakespeare in highschool. Apart from English and biology I sacked at all other classes.
Do you think its how things are taught or explained???
@@justintime1307 I think it’s a little of both. Most curriculum standards are based on standardized testing. Well that is based on college prep and college just isn’t for everyone and that’s okay. Then if a teacher is failing to make connections with students to help deliver instruction in a way that student needs, that’s on the instructor. If little MM had been in my class, I would’ve encouraged him to create and write lyrics while mapping out the structure of the music. I would’ve found a way to align this with curriculum standards.
@kateashby3066 100% agree. He is one of the best writers...regardless of genre. Unbelievable talent. I'm a classic rock fan...LZ, PF, etc so this isn't my first choice but he is so much fun to listen to.
My sons college professor said he was the most prolific writer in many generations

Calm down mate.
@@leamog why would you think i was upset ? 🤔 Just pointing it out
He also talks about how Elvis used black music to get wealthy. For example the song “Hound Dog” was originally from a black female singer “Big Mama Thornton” and she tried to sue Elvis over copy rights back then but you know how blacks were treated in the 50s and 60s.

7:00 he's actually not just talking about how the RAP game needs him, this whole SONG is about how he was fighting against censorship in general. He talks about the FCC, who got on him for bullshit that they bothered NO other rapper about, MTV almost removing his music videos due to "backlash", and Dick Cheney's wife calling him something along the lines of "a menace to American society"! The whole song is a HUGE middle finger to all of them (and many others) who kept trying to officially censor him completely! Back then, most of hip-hop and the rap game respected Em.
Also, if you want to know "how he writes that on paper", look up pictures of some of the papers he wrote his rhymes on...it won't tell you HOW, but it will show you how disjointedly ordered his mind is when putting words together.

Anybody that doesn't think Em is the greatest lyricist of all time, hasn't listened to Eminem
Agreed. I am an English major and a word nerd. His lyrics are incredible! Starting with the very first line, it's brilliant!😄
He likely wrote your favorite song performed by your favorite rapper. Probably did a feature with them and buried them on their own track too. 🤷♂️
he's also the only rapper who only raps for 35 years what do most rappers end up doing stopping to do movies
Yeah, he’s in a very very small group of the best of the best that includes Bob Dylan and John Lennon and honestly, he’s ahead of both.
I would listen to the whole Marshall mathers and the Eminem show album. He knows how to break down words to make them rhyme with other words they have no business rhyming with. You’re right thiss is why he is the goat. He also wrote Forget about Dre, since u know who Dre is, I would listen to that.
He' s known as the wordsmith, thats why every word rhymes
Bornana
I loved this album and music videos in early 2000 and guess what, I had barely learned little bit English by that time. But because it is all so perfect you can enjoy the melodies and rhimes without even getting the full meaning. I knew the words Without me before really knowing what he mend. I did get the Please stand up, please stand up. And we loved the Elvis mockery without knowing about the whole controversy.
He is known as the wordbender not the wordsmith...a wordsmith is the term used for any elite lyricist.
He's got a rhyming disease. In his head, EVERYTHING rhymes.
really? wow we did not know that
6:05 The moment gen z learns rap isn't about mumbling
Believe me, I was around when Eminem first came on the scene. We reacted the same way that you did, well, except nobody cared about "The F word", but other then that we were AMAZED.
Everything before that was every rapper basically bragging about how they were the sh!t and nobody could top them.
Then Eminem came along and was the opposite. He would poke fun at himself but everyone respected him even MORE when he did.
He was basically saying what we all felt...and making millions and hits while doing it.
same. moving out of the mid/late 90s into this was so eye opening to what was possible lyrically. definitely a sick time to be alive to experience this stuff as it was happening. it's cool to go back and listen to old tracks but there's no other feeling than seeing the album in a record store with no real expectations and ending up with this in your headphones
No, we all didnt react that way.
@@RSparrow3936 It's a figure of speech
You obviously forgot 2 Pac. He rapped about every day things that people needed to open their eyes to. and dear momma was fantastic.
@@tamerajohnson7747that’s very fair. But for this time period, Eminem was the one that did that but also started rhyming shit that never should be going together.
If you continue to dive into Eminem, some things to keep in mind. He references a lot of pop culture at the time the tracks/albums came out so you may miss quite a bit. He put a lot of his personal life and references to it in his music. It may benefit you to check out a documentary or two about him to get some background. You will find he can do any flow over any beat. He finds some pockets nobody would ever think of. Enjoy the ride.
Right?! You had to be alive to understand a lot of his references

Absolutely ❤
Dude Eminem's rhymes are absolutely filthy. To see a young guy in the industry really break it down and show how intricately incredible and ingenious this guy was is really cool.
"it's like, every single syllable is so tightly planted in the pocket of the beat, and they're all so annunciated" excellent description. I've always thought, as well, how crazy impressive it is how eminem literally doesn't miss a single syllable with the beat (how each freaking syllable 'fits in the pocket' like it belongs there) and not only that - it all MAKES SENSE and flows like no other! It's very difficult to describe how on another level of perfection eminem's raps are but you've done it better than I've ever heard anyone describe his writing before. The guy is a literal musical prodigy.
Every word is held accountable!
The fact that you got that far into the song without realizing you were listening to the clean version is a great example of how freaking good em is .ps now you see why my generation listens to todays rap and get frustrated. This is what we grew up listening to on the radio
Yeah I thought the same. Like this the clean version. This offends you? Well I guess you better not listen to bloodhound gang bad touch or chase lane. XD not much phased us gen xers, xennials and millennials.

Em is a lyrical genius, he used to read the dictionary for fun. There was a video of him saying that there was no word that rhymes with orange. ‘Em took that personally and found a way to make it rhyme. Me as a 30 year old and I grew up with Eminem listening to his old stuff is a nostalgia trip.
Yep. His 60 Minutes interview. It's a must watch. He says that it pisses him off when he hears nothing rhymes with orange. He states something to the effect of...yeah, no single words rhyme. But what about door hinge?
@@marcfortier6632 Exactly, its called a "Slant-Rhyme" of sorts if i recall
And he was THE master, and probably still... the master of utilizing them
36 over here. I remember slim shady hitting the radio for the first time 😅
The funny thing is for anyone who grew up when this came out, MILDEST Eminem song ever. He and Dre are Batman and robin. “This looks like a job for me now everybody follow me we need a little controversy cause it feels so empty without me”. That’s like the most radio friendly song besides maybe Sing for the Moment and Lose Yourself
Me in the beginning of the video:
Did this mf just call me old? I'm not old!
Me 2 min later:
Wtf is "glazing"? 😂
Great reaction man, welcome to the endless Rabbit hole that is Eminem (pun intended, if you know, you know)
SAME! From "Who's he talking about" to "What's he talking about" ✌🐰😂
Basically means he’s over complimenting him over praise lol I’m 40yrs old had to ask my 16yrs old 🤣🤣🤣
@masterjay7246 🤣🤣 thank you!!! Love it
it means your riding someone’s dick 😂(giving them too much praise)
THANKS, SAME, thank you guys, glad to learn the new slang xD
There is a reason he's the Rap God.
All his people from the front to the back nod
Em’s lyrics are studied. Courses offered focus on his lyrics:
“Eminem might be a controversial figure for some, but academia is fascinated with him. There are thousands of research papers dedicated to Em. Only this year, he was mentioned in published articles over 600 times. Social science, music history, philosophy and literature are the fields that study Marshall’s legacy the most.”
Theres no need to study his lyrics back then, you thinking about it way too deep. And trying too hard. If a rapper makes it to where his audience gotta study his lyrics, then he failed...
i dont think Eminem was going for that lol. His flow back then in his peak was tight, and rhyme scheme was crazy. But it was easy for the casuals to listen to it lol. Thats what Eminem was going for
@@kiing_e3122 'need' is a very strong word. But exactly that he rhymes so well and has such a way with words is a big reason people _do_ study him. Let alone the also mentioned social science and political reasons.
Just because you don't like studying doesn't make it a bad thing if people study something you like, lol. Quite the contrary, if you get contrasted and compared to shakespeare and fontane in literature studies i think is a very distinct honor for a lyricist, completely irrelevant of being a rapper or not.
Also, everybody who fcking _aims_ to be studied or makes it a prerequisite to be understood is wack af and doesn't deserve to be on sheer spite :D
@@SeleenShadowpaw i see what u mean. But a rap artist also has to make it listenable for the casuals. And honestly even if u arent a casual, you understand that the best lyricists are the ones who make their lyrics sound simple.
Eminem was great back then because he could rhyme multiple syllables, but at the same time it sound like he was literally having a conversation with you. While at the same time flowing on the beat.
And Eminem now a days is doing the exact opposite of that. He's just rhyming a bunch of words for the fuck of it, with terrible delivery and flow
@@kiing_e3122 That too, and while Eminem is fantastic when it comes to lyrics and rapping, it's not like he was the first to do this. Not even the first white guy. Dutch (white) rapper Brainpower was already doing this long before Eminem. Just to name an example. Eminem was just the first with this style to make it to the world top and popularize it.
@@kiing_e3122thinking "ease of casual listening" is reading deeper than anything else.
He wanted to be the best. That's it. And he achieved it.
As a first year Gen X'er, this was my time, and I immediately fell in love with Em's all absolute genius and attitude, seeing a Gen Z'er discover these revolutionary classics and appreciate them gives me so much life. I love this!

If you think dressing up as Osama Bin Laden would be controversial now - well, it was a lot more of a sensitive issue back then when the whole thing was still fresh in everybody's mind. 🙃
Duh. I meant a modern day equivalent to it bro
@@VERTICILE every controversy is dispelled when you think of him as Justin Bieber. . . which, all in all, he is.
I mean, it takes a certain type to get away with shit like that. Em was famous and respected AF already when he dropped this track, so everybody just took it for what it was, at face value. If some random white guy who nobody knew did that (either then or now), it would be recieved much differently. That said, it's not like he did any of his controversial shit simply for the sake of it cause he knew he could get away with it. He did it because it was his art form and he didn't care if people loved or hated him for it.
Not long after the towers fell also
@@Sideline1013 Russell Brand did something similar 3 days after 9/11, before he was famous.
EXACTLY! I'm 45, i don't listen to rap, but my generation has been blown away by this guy since day One. And now you see why! He has a BUNCH of songs JUST Like This! Superman, the one he does with D12, Too many songs to name, honestly.
Thank you for the video, I was right there with you, reliving my astonishment and bobbin my head to the beat. The only difference was that I've heard it so many times, that i was singing along with him! You'll get there 😎
If you do listen to Superman, you need to know it's in his character as slim shady and is a villain song.
It's like he started his own music Genre entirely
No seriously I'm less afraid of the people who get mad and don't understand that song than people who think it's dope to treat women like actual shit
there's so many people who don't listen to rap, and only listen to Eminem, but then complaint that there's no good rap these days. Good to see you're not one of them 👍
I made my mom listen to Lose Yourself during a road trip when I was 19, she loved it- but won't listen to anything else of his. Oh well I guess, she's a Boomer
"He's not even talking about nothing"
Correction: he was talking about a lot. There was legislation bouncing around, back then, about moving from "parental advisory" to outright banning stuff. This song was all about that. The "nah nah nah" at the end was for the fact that it failed (or was failing, I'm not sure what the exact timing was). It was especially hilarious because they played some of his music in the House at some of the hearings and debates. That explains why so many 90s metal heads are big Eminem fans. He was working to save our music, too, cuz it was as much on the chopping block as hip hop
That's what cancel culture does. They ban everything, and take everyone's freedom away!
There is SO much you aren’t even picking up in the video, like Puck from The Real World or the jab at Moby. Everything was very much directed towards pop culture of the time.
Yeah, if you didnt live back then you wouldn't get it. But its still great.
Even I don't know it coz I'm a zoomer.
Exactly! These kids have missed everything, and they are wayyyy too soft!
Even the fact that Debbie is his mom
Play nice! I appreciate his genuine excitement and respect. How many people under the age of 45 or 50 actually understand the meaning behind "Can't catch me cuz the rabbit done died" 🤣Doesn't mean they can't enjoy Aerosmith. No one, who didn't live it, will pick up all the pop culture. Especially when he's never really listened to Eminem. We were drinking out the water hose but this kid just got hit in the face with a fire hose! Let him catch his breath LOL
Hear me out:
"Well I'm back nana nana nana nana nana, fix your bent antenna, tune it in and then I'm gonna enter in up... under your skin like a splinter"
This probably the most insane lyrically genius bars he's ever made. Everything about it is impossibly impressive
Na like he said on the song fuel from the death of slim shady.
“Do not test like an essay (why?)
'Cause like where my homies out West stay (yeah)
We can just say (what?)
I'm like a R-A-P-E-R (yeah)
Got so many S-As (S-As), S-As (huh)

Jay-Z once perfectly described eminem rhyming. "its almost like it becomes percussion" and its exactly what you heard here :)
The craziest moment on this song is when he turns the old school batman theme song into lyrics, at least for me. To make that work is insane.
@@ericparker163 yup, "without me" is a masterpiece, lyrics content beat.
@@ericparker163 There's also Gatman & Robbin by 50 Cent where the beat uses the 1966 batman intro as a sample, and they pretty much flow the entire song following that tune
I’m a oldhead now, but the way you are hearing this now and reacting?!? Bro, this was 💯me back when this shit dropped. I had never heard any lyrics and flows like this! Now, 20+ years later…it holds up, but he’s still dropping shit that is 3 levels up. Watching you hear it for the first time is a joy, because it is special and you recognize it!! Keep going! New sub here!
I'll second what he said. Good for you, keep learning about the game and Em's life as a whole to get fully in tune with what he's ALWAYS saying.
Isn't it the greatest feeling, seeing someone hear greatness for the first time?? 🥰
"...It sounds SO good." Because it IS good. Yay for you for enjoying it! Never gets old.
I am 14 and I hate rap nowadays. I only listen to 80s and 90s music
Eminem's ability to finish the rhyme at any point during the bar and it just works is crazy. Sometimes it's the end of the couplet, sometimes he'll throw a second ending in there, sometimes he'll just start a new one. It's pure percussion.
I like your viewpoints. Do you have some examples from this song that you like the best?
Yeah I'll give it a shot.
"Some vodka that'll jumpstart my heart quicker
than a shock when I get shocked at the hospital
by the doctor when I'm not cooperating
when I'm rockin' the table while he's operating."
The parts of the rhyme scheme he's bouncing off each other here are "vodka", "-start my", "heart quick-", "shock when", "shocked at", "hospit-", "doctor", "cooper-", "rockin'", "oper-". In what would traditionally be a set of maybe two couplets he's rhymed ten times and he's using Ts Ks and Ps, which are big plosive sounds and give a percussive sound. At the same time he pops a traditional couplet in there "... cooperating, ... operating" and two of those ten rhymes form a couplet of their own, ending their own bars with "heart quicker" and "hospital".
"A rebel, so let me just revel and bask
in the fact that I got everyone kissin' my ass
and it's a disaster, such a catastrophe
For you to see so damn much of my ass you asked for me?"
We're given "rebel" and "revel" (which are actually bouncing off "revol-" in "revolution" in the previous bar) while he's setting up "bask" and "ass" to form a traditional couplet. Then the first half of the next bar drops a rhyming "as" in "disaster" and the second half another rhyming "as" in "catastrophe", and the final bar of the four keeps it bumping along with "ass" and "asked". At the same time, while he's trailbraking the "ass" rhyme scheme he fires up another with "-phe", "see", and "me" which starts and ends its own couplet with an extra rhyme in the middle of the second bar of it.
When he does these things, where he finishes a couplet and then rhymes it again in the first half of the next bar, or a rhyme appears and disappears independently of the greater structure or he rhymes ten times in four bars (six of which are in the first two, so it isn't evenly paced), it breaks what would otherwise be a predictable and stilted pattern and turns it into something with a more continuous flow but slightly less predictable structure (which is more interesting).
@cl0udbear Thanks bro. I appreciated the effort in that. I like music but it's a little deeper than other people's liking music so it's nice to pick the brain of someone who looks at it deeper.
I wish i could smash the thumbs up 100×. Such a detailed explanation.
Thank you!! @cl0udbear
@@cl0udbear incredible review thanks, love to see it written out so clearly you do a great job laying it out, Eminem is a true genius and absolutely gifted
Speaking as someone who only sorta likes rap, but LOVES and writes poetry, Eminem is a fucking master wordsmith.
His rapping is another instrument, or aspect of the beat for one, he's not just... overlaying his voice on a track. His voice is PART of it. Play an instrumental version of Without Me (I'm sure it exists) and even excluding the lyrics being missing, it'll feel like it's missing something to be a track.
But his syllabic control and rhyme schemes are better than most actual poets. He's almost like a Spoken Word artist. He isn't going A/B/A/B. He rhymes mid bar to mid bar and the end to the end at times. His wordplay and double/triple entendres are mad. One line can mean 3/4 different things at once at the same time. (less so in Without Me, it's more straightforward)
Also, it's worth mentioning that while a lot of his rap (especially early) is angry for reasons big and small, he is also very often not very serious and just being offensive for offense's sake. He will take shots at ANYONE. Nobody is safe. Most of the time he barely means any offense personally unless THEY take shots first.
He is the Bard of Bards of our time really. Wordsmith master of rhyme storyteller sublime
Someone who has read the dictionary multiple times to get the rhymes for his Beats
I think we've learned over 20+ years what happens when you take shots at Em, the goat... you'll keep on catching strays (although purposeful strays if that even makes sense) for the rest of his existence.
Keep going on the Em, this ain't even peake Em.
Isn´t it?

Lmao, I was born in 2010 and listen to 80s and 90s rap, so much better compared to shit from today
No cap
Considering the song in this video came out in 2002, okay...and?
Real
There's a reason no current rap has been charting. It's so fucking bad. XD Apart from the rap, why does all the music on the radio sound like bad pop and elevator music had a baby? There are some great artists out there, but most of the trash that's being played on the radio these days is so fucking boring and unimaginative. There has never been such a soulless generation. What a tragedy. Guess the old music's gotta pick up the slack.
Eh, some of the newer stuff is good too. Most of the old stuff is bad too, but nobody remembers the garbage!
Survivorship bias - if you listen to old music, you're listening to the best (or at least the most popular!)
11:37 if this happened today it wouldn’t matter, Eminem did it not even a year after 9/11 for this song and even back then when it would have been the worst time to do it, still didn’t get him cancelled.
He wrote in another song patiently waiting that shady records headquarters was a block away from the towers and they hit the wrong building saying the planes were meant for his building lol
@@JessicaMiddleton-vc5uh shit thanks for the info! I’ve been going back through his Catalog so I’ll have to check that one out.

You really need to understand that GenX grew up with NO censorship. If you dont believe me just check out Dee Snider's Congressional testimony on censorship. he Tells Al gore that his "Righteous wife" is a closet freak.
It was actually pretty refreshing to see a GenZ taking a journey and slowly realizing why Eminem is one of the GOATs, and a lyrical master. And yes he can make a rhyme using the word Orange.
Damn Tipper 🙄
OMG I remember that 🤣
We grew up with massive attempts at censorship though, and it is a victory that all they accomplished are those stupid little stickers on CDs. Lord knows it ain’t for lack of effort. They tried to shut down the most benign stuff for decades. That’s why even if I don’t personally count myself as a fan of some of the artists of the 80s and 90s who refused to be shut down, I’ll always count them as heroes for not letting this nation become a bland christian borefest. Even tho I was only a kid for some of it, I knew artists had the right to say whatever they wanted to say in their art and did not like hearing about an artist being banned from stores or the radio. And I count Eminem among those heroes because he was fighting the fight on the tail end of that era. Just off the top of my head we gotta give it up for Prince, Madonna, 2 Live Crew, Ice-T, Jello Biafra, GG Allin, Dee Snyder, Howard Stern, Marilyn Manson, NWA, and yes, Eminem, for fighting that good fight.

Eminem lives, breathes and would probably die for hip hop. A little history about one of the things that makes EM' so great is that he actually read and studied the dictionary when he was growing up. It's one reason why he's so great and probably the greatest when it comes to putting words together and breaking words down.
That song didn't come out in the 90's, it was 2002. I know that's close for youngsters, but a huge change, Eminem alone, from '98 to '02.

I was a pre-teen when this came out, I loved Eminem because of his word play and for the fact that his music made my neurodivergent brain actually focus on one thing at a time for a bit, while still allowing me to vent my hyperactive tendencies. Dunno how or why, but his rhyme, rhythm and humour just scratched an itch in my brain 😅. In this particular song the beat is addicting on its own, but what he does with it is a mix of madness and pure genius at the same time. I fell out of listening to rap after I discovered metal (which can have a fair amount of rap mixed in) but I will always have a soft spot for em, his creativity and his technical skill with words and music.

Me being confused about what he meant when he said he doesn't support the "f word" halfway through the song until he replayed it really shows the difference between our ages 💀 I'm glad he can support the lyricism of the song nonetheless
I love how this dude is pretending he doesn't already know every word to this song😅😂 deep down he wants to spit every verse! Its ok we've all been there lol
GEN Z SO USE TO MUMBLE RAP. THEY HYPE WHEN THEY HEAR REAL RAP/HIP HOP. LOL 😂 😂 GLAD U LIKE IT.
6:50 This is just the beginning ... buckle up 😎
Too right. Chap hasn't even got near the best of Em yet
To watch the genuine realization of how genius Eminem is with EVERY meticulously planned out syllable from somebody from GenZ is great. Most GenZ hates on Eminem just because it's 'COOL' to do so. If given the HONEST chance.. I feel like this may be ONE artist that everybody could collectively agree upon. Could expand on that but the genius itself is enough to digress. It's pretty 'adrenalin pumping' to see somebody react the SAME way I did (without the ability to -as freely- rewind on a dime to catch EVERYTHING (or almost) on first listen). Good content man.
@0:21 "Eminem was the first to have a heavy cancel culture" ever hear of the Beatles, Elvis, Twisted sister, NWA, ? just to name a few that tried to be canceled.
Please add 2 live crew
One of the first is what he said. Not sure how you misheard that
@@GEROKII I didnt miss hear him. Take Elvis for example, They tried to put him in Jail and refused to play his music on many radios. this was 70 years ago. Many other artists faces simular issues with there art even 100 years ago. So if it was happing so long before Em came out how could he be one of the first?
@@johncollins3910 Key words is "one of". And if you didn't mishear the video, you misquoted it. Eminem is definitely one of the first to have heavy cancel culture against him. Again, not the first. One of the first. Beatles never had heavy cancel culture against them. NWA got told to not play a concert once by the police and the police only wanted autographs. That's not heavy cancel culture. Eminem literally had people demonstrating against him, and the President blaming him for real world problems, and organizations condemning him. This shouldn't even be a conversation
@@GEROKII Beatles had a huge back lash over their long hair in the 50s and early 60s. If you think the only thing that ever happened to NWA is they got told not to play a concern once. you really don't know your hip hop history. The Regans went to war with most of the gangster rap artists at that time and NWA was there number 1 target. If you don't think the presidents wife taking a vandeta to get NWA canceled heavy cancel culter then I don't know what is. At one time some 90% (and maybe still today) of the radio stations across the country banned playing NWA. I seem to remember stories of Nancy Regan burning NWA albums on the white house lawn.
Suburban white mom here, 47 years old, listen to this song like once a week. Em is a fucking genius.
There's a reason why he became goat. Even Tipper Gore had admit that his lyrics are pronounced so that you understand what's said. As a non-native speaker it made it easy to get behind it all. The thing Americans often overlook is how Em influenced the rest of the world! He bought rap to new countries. He had that humor that captured even my interest at a time I really didn't care for rap. And he's continued it quarter of a century. He got clean, he stepped up on her nieces and nephews and made sure they as well as his own daughter have a loving home.
