ZoltanDeluxe Kind of funny ‘cause I barely listened to any hip hop before mumble rap got popular. I’m discovering more gems as sort of a rebellion against mumble rap.
@@TheBrokenAshes damn I feel kind of sorry for you hahaha cause there was a lot of great rap before this mumble shit happened. 80's, 90's, and 2000's hip hop was some of the best hip hop ever. If you are interested I would begin with 80's consisting of mainly geto boys, rakim, ll cool j, krs one, big daddy kane, kool grap, slick rick, run dmc, beastie boyz, nwa, and public enemy. Then the 90's with 2pac, scarface, ice cube, biggie, nas, jayz, snoop dogg, dr dre, outkast, wutang clan, redman, mobb deep, a tribe called quest, gang starr, ugk, the roots, busta rhymes, etc. Really there were too many good rappers in the 90's and I may be forgetting some but those were the ones that stood out. Then the 2000's with Eminem, 50 cent, jadakiss, kanye, lil wayne, t.i., young jeezy, 36 mafia, clipse, ludacris, common, and nas and jayz as well. The 1st half of the 2010's also had a lot of great artists such as kendrick, j cole, drake, asap rocky, tyler the creator, schoolboy q, meek mill, chance the rapper, yg, and big krit. This mumble shit only started recently unfortunately with future and young thug being the main reasons. Sorry I know this is long haha.
@ZoltanDeluxe my theory is that they need a strong beat because they've got no sense of rhythm themselves, which is why they don't like Walk on Water, because it's a bit harder to follow the rhythm when it comes from just the piano. (Though still totally possible.)
Stop saying sorry for pausing the video, that is why we are here, we wanna know your vision and what you think about the song. If people wanna just listen to the song they should probably find a version with bad reactors that only listen and then say thank you, dont forget to like bye.
This song made me realize why eminem has such a great relationship with Dre. They both share a perfectionist attitude, love for music, and respect toward those before them. They both also share that edgy humor and anti-conformist attitude.
@@maximalist5038 The only thing you can say was objectively bad on Revival are SOME of the beats. Seriously, Revival is like being two hundred stories in the sky but it's still too next level to understand.
@@mateonelson3862 agreed, lyrically it was great, sonically allot of the production was just bad. Em and Rick Rubin just don't work together. But people saying he fell off are morons.
Ikr? Most people these days can easily be fooled into thinking a song is good because of the loud, modern beats, sounds etc. even tho the lyrics are trash.
Eminem will always have respect from real lyricists. I've never understood why people said he "fell off" or the MMLP2 wasn't that great. I think most of the people who say these sort of things are only observing the song from a sonic sound point and not a lyricists standpoint. I don't think these people actually take a look at the rhyme schemes and analyze the lyrics, because if they did they would see a master lyricist at work. From a lyricists perspective It's some of his best work. The song "groundhog day" from the mmlp2 was like a rhyme scheme Bible. Eminem is a lyricist. He came in as a lyricist and he will go out as a lyricists. All the other facets of the song are secondary to the lyrical content if you are a rapper. At the end, of the day all Eminem truly cares about is the lyrics.
I agree with your point regarding his 'ability' as a lyricist (he's still sharp). EM has nothing else to prove. HOWEVER, if he has lost his 'ear' for making high quality innovative/creative music, then he should hang his jersey in the rafters
Lyrically Em's fallen off. Not gonna dispute his ability to play with words but it's forced and uninspired at this point. I've heard it in the way he raps for years. The choppy, uneven flow and monotonous delivery is terrible
Kristin Collins. This particular song went straight to #1 on iTunes. We can argue that Eminem has lost his ear for music. That's a valid point. But to say he doesn't sell is just flat out not true.
The thing about this song is Eminem is at the point of his career where he has nothing else to prove. What he wants to do now is just reach out to ppl. This song aint what we used to from Eminem. Many ppl prolly expected a song with a nasty beat and him calling ppl out but Eminem was vulnerable here, telling the truth of his mindset the past few years. It wasnt even like he was rapping he was talking in this song, a real message to tell ppl he aint god, he has these thoughts that eat at him. It aint his best song by a long shot but at this stage of his career it was necessary. Eminem has changed the way he raps.
So funny how true this is. Kamikaze was exactly that; an album with nasty beats and a crazy up beat flow and people getting called out left and right. Em isn't against criticism, i guess he tore his hear out in revival and people went way beyond criticism, to the point they were straight up trashing him instead of the album.
I genuinely enjoyed this. I love Eminem's evolution over the years. I was a kid when "Hi My Name Is" first got popular and I love Slim Shady, but I also love hearing Marshal Matthers speak from his heart.
The best reaction of this song, and trust me when I say I've watched damn near every reaction on it to this day. What what makes it more so better than others is that you guys really know your craft, you guys really know how to breakdown bars. Highly appreciated man, great reaction.
This is the best reaction channel on RUclips. You set the bar so high that I don't really like watching other reaction channels. I appreciate that you not only listen to the obvious top layer of the song. But you also dig deep into what the artist are trying to say and how they present it. So thank you!
I like that he got Beyonce to do the chorus. She's so idolized that this song seems as much about her as it is about Eminem. Powerful track, but something you need to be in the mood for. December 21st = international Rush day. You guys should do an epic "2112" reaction for that day!
acee outlaw Rush is an incredible band. They have always been about writing their own music rather than what the record companies wanted them to. The record company gave them one last chance at an album. They could either conform and make a record the company wanted or go out in a blaze of glory and maintain their integrity. The went with the latter and penned the masterpiece: 2112. Which is a song about music and their situation. They're a 40 year old band and with all they've done, fans have come to name December 21st international Rush day. Rush is Canadian. In Canada, the dates are formally written as day-month-year as opposed to the states that write month-day-year. Hence, December 21st => 21-12.
He couldn't have choosen a better person to sing it with than Beyoncé. As you said, this song is perfect for both because they have reached their own level and yet they're always woried about getting better and do their best that people put them in pedestals but forget they're only humans.
Thank GOD for intelligent folks who can still dissect lyrics like this. 👏🙏 After Lil Pump became famous for Gucci Gang, my hope for my generation basically disintegrated. You got yourself a new sub.
As much as I am not a Beyonce fan I must admit her pipes are killer. Also Eminem is very good at creating lyrics from nowhere. They overall lyrics, (rapping) had a powerful message. (Still not a rap fan). But I can understand all people are different.
Super excited to see you guys coming out with merch. I'm not much of a merch guy but this is the first channel I'd be proud to support and rep, been here since you were small. Designs better not be trash though! Salute and please get around to Gallant - Weight in Gold
Bro's..let me thank you!, I hope you's read this because I need you to know that in some way you have helped me..not just in music but in life. I was starting to become one of them 'Eminem isn't who he used to be' negative type of fan but your whole outtake and the way you's see he lyrics and meaning behind it helped me see surpassed that bullshit and understand it more than I thought I could...for that I thank you's....keep up the good work 🖒
i know this is random but this is one of the reason why i enjoy this reaction channel SO MUCH. ive heard nothing but bad things about this song and how it isnt the old eminem or people saying he is doubting himself.. but no, thats not the case, because of people like that, em writes a song like this. and because of you guys you put that in perspective, instead of criticizing the whole song, you listen to every word, ever lyric and appreciate what you guys are given and enjoy it!! and its not like your just bullshitting for youtube, these are your HONEST OPINIONS. you guys keep doing your thing!! much love
Aj Harris No Skylar Greg wrote it. Em admitted it on a podcast episode he did with Rick Rubin. Skylar wrote the hook and Beyonce caught wind of the song and was asked to perform it
Rick convinced her to do it, i still dont think she is a fan of marshall... maybe the pot belly line pissed her off... no music video, no live performance with em either very strange...
I found your channel recently. Gotta say, I really enjoy your videos. It's awesome listening to people with a deep understanding of hip-hop, talk about various songs. It's refreshing to hear from people who understand the lyrical content. Most people can't hear past the beat and the flow. Thank you.
He is no more 20 so I kinda expect this coming from him. That song shows his vulnerability and mature lyricism and I respect him more for that. Not forgetting the wordplay... God damnnn!!!!
I also really appreciate that he added Beyoncé because she can totally relate to what he’s saying. She is known as the queen B so using her to sing the chorus reminds us that both of them are just human beings like he wants
Ryan your analysis of the twine verse was awesome, especially to process its potential meaning that quick. Love the channel! Do The Beautiful and Damned by G Eazy
you guys should do some old Em'. I've been a die hard fan since he dropped the Slim Shady LP and treasuring his music ever since, even when he puts out shit that don't really shine or you personally don't care for as much you can still always find something in the song that still makes you think at times 'holy shit' lol. Just a few older songs that would be sweet to see u guys touch on: *Infinite* _his first albums title track, perfect sneak preview of his career, he had to come out swinging and prove himself to ever last as a white rapper and his Slim Shady persona served that purpose, as the years went by and he cemented himself so every track didn't have to be serial kill/diss track he was able to experiment more. Just with how much he was praised for the tone/style of Recovery, Infinite proves he was able to put out content like that but back before even his brake out LP_ *Bully* _highly underrated diss track I don't see mentioned often, no matter how many top ten lists I've seen (lookin' at u WatchMojo lol). It always lands on his Nail in the Coffin track instead which is still great but still not in the same class as Bully is. I could go years in between listens and get that melody in my head and still be able to recall the song word for word, on the musical side it's got a catchy melody that he raps/sings too to keep u hypnotized and on the lyrics side he was throwing shots to not only Ja Rule/Benzino/Irv Gotti etc... but also Suge Knight in a round about but still obvious way._ *Rock Bottom & Bad Meets Evil* off the Slim Shady LP for obvious reasons I'm sure u guys could elaborate on a few of his newer tracks on MMLP2 *Bad Guy* _a must, i remember when I got this album I just sat down to listen through it with no distractions and the first track on it was probably my favorite (serves as a sequel to Stan but serves as a poetical way to relate that story to what he's been through over the last few years), when the beat switches up and he goes into that outro holy shit, I could listen to that song a million times and still get goose bumps throughout that part, those lyrics are just so deep/epic and with that theatrical/drama sounding beat underneath to emphasize what he's saying, perfect._ *Brainless, Evil Twin, Groundhogs Day, Rap God & Wicked Ways* _could go into every track but this has gotten to long already lmao, pretty much some tracks I recommend every time I hear someone say they don't listen to Em' anymore cause he fell off, these tracks are highlights that stand out and could go up against his older classics and hold their ground, Groundhogs Day is a great example of him showing off while sounding a little nostalgic for the long time fans lol_ alright I'll stop for now lmao sorry for the wall of text, hopefully its seen hahaha
LOVE you guys and your channel. it means something very special to show all of the different genre’s and styles etc....breaking down stereotypes, and pre-convinced notions. thank you . this is different for em-but i loved it. it’s almost like spoken word versus rap. it’s very beautiful. also,; people over look how hard it is to rap over basically no beat. (orchestra, but not a typical rap beat) beyoncé is not typically my style however i really enjoyed her in this song. very soft and simple yet beautiful.
I don’t know what you guys thought of his BET cypher, but I thought it was hilarious that even Trump, who hits back at EVERYONNNNNE, didn’t say a word back at Em. Lol. Did someone on his staff actually know something correct? “Mr. President, you don’t want beef with Eminem, sir.” 😂
Nathan S. Exactly, I’m one of Em’s biggest fans, but that was overall one of the worst freestyles I’ve ever heard, especially for someone with such a great history with freestyles.
Rage Against the Machine - Bulls on Parade. Do it! They have the perfect mix of rock, funk, hip hop, and metal. Plus a good message. A FREE THINKING message.
Why are people being so disrespectful towards Eminem because of this song, yeh his flow has changed.... so the fuck what it’s his music ffs and every album he changes his style. Just because he’s not rapping about taking drugs with a fast beat doesn’t mean he’s fallen off the throne. He’s just gotten more mature and sensitive with his lyrics is all
The theater curtains analogy and poking his head out from behind the curtain on the stage is a reference to the eminem show and encore, two of his biggest albums.
I wonder if Beyoncé did this song with him, or he ask her specifically, because she is in the same boat of high expectations placed on her too. He is regarded as one of the best rappers of all time/our generation and she is regarded as one of the best singers. Everything she puts out is expected to go to the top of the charts as well. He could of had any female sing on this song with him. She probably has similar feelings as what’s said in his verses and can relate. What do you think?
Beyoncé could really relate to this. Even tho Beyoncé said herself she doesn’t even care ab topping charts “even tho she does anyways” she only cares ab doing what she loves and that’s making music. But people have grown so over critical over the years expecting these celebrities to be perfect like they don’t have lives of their own. Beyoncé has 3 children and a husband, she can’t always live up to these standards they hold her to.
Eminem used to study the dictionary for 2 hrs per day to enhance his art. He is a genius and Im not a huge rap/hip hop fan. Much respect to Marshall from a die hard metal fan! \m/
I just started checking y’all out yesterday. All I can say is I love it man!! Great work and excellent how you can go from rap to country to metal with no hesitation or hatred!! Thank y’all for being real!!
FINALLY, an intelligent, informed, adult review of this incredible song, one of the best of his career in my opinion. I still believe that several tracks from Revival, this one and Believe in particular, are going to eventually have the times catch up with them, and they will be looked back on as the masterpieces they truly are, misunderstood and misjudged during their time. Many great, now considered God like, master artists did not have their work understood or fully appreciated in their own life time. Van Gogh died penniless. Unable to sell his pieces, he would just try to give them away, although some people wouldn't even take them. Now his pieces sell for hundreds of millions and are revered as priceless pieces of art, masterpieces. I do believe these things can happen with artists. Sometimes the times have to catch up with what they've created. Just hope Em is alive to see his masterpieces hung in the gallery where they belong.
You guys honestly have the best insight when it comes to reviews. You look past the surface level and don't do any bull shit and I respect that. We need more of you in music. Great review as always.
Lost In Vegas but this is great when have you ever heard eminem the vulnerable you haven’t and I think that’s why a lot of people are having a hard time with this song. It’s like your hero is telling you you shouldn’t believe in him like a hero the way you do.
I love you guys! Look... I'm a 50 year old white guy, and I learn something from every one of your posts. You have opened my eyes to some shit I never would have known about. Thank you for this awesome channel!
huehue 'bruh' first off you sound like a degenerate, second clearly people do with 74 likes on my comment and count less other comments who've requested it and third stfu let people request, no one goes on other peoples comments and puts that on there
If their going to do hurt I think I would rather hear the original NIN version. But the one that's hard to find without the annoying static sound in the left headphone.
Eminem took this in such a poetic approach to this. This was gorgeous. I feel like this “swan song” is him achieving self-actualization and maturity with confidence and vulnerability in such measured moderation. You guys made some mind blowing insights about aging gracefully into or out of showbiz, and hip hop specifically. Great video!
I watched the Master of Puppets, Walk, Killing in the name of, Tennessee Whiskey videos. Enjoyed what they were. You guys discovering new songs/styles of music. Your musical knowledge being applied to what your watching has been a pleasure to watch, even when your talking about music outside of your comfort zone. But THIS VIDEO...y'all are right in the pocket of every line Em was spittin', and breaking down the lyrics. It was great to learn some things. Great video!
First reaction channel I subscribed too, you two understand hip hop and the creativity behind the writing process. Big Eminem fan for the art of writing not the substance, not too many can separate the two
i like that you guys actually understand what eminem is trying to say in this song because many people hate on it and they call it trash when in fact it's poetry im just saying i love how u dissect the lyrics
Do akala fire in the booth part 4,the lyrics,cadence,delivery,schemes,word play,lung capacity,creativity,meanings,poetrytruths,speed,and FLOW are all insaneee...full package,on all whole other level, you guys will have a blast with it.thank me later.
If he can stay healthy man this team is going to be great for awhile. Been waiting a long time for this "process" but it looks like its finally time to win.
great review guys! nice to see some people still appreciate how great Em is. I hate how the younger generation in hip-hop hates on the greats like Nas and Em!
Rage Against The Machine isn’t rock, rap, or metal... they’re a combination of all 3. Rage Against The Machine (RATM) is credited with creating a new genre, Rap Metal. RATM writes about very real social, political, and economic injustices in the United States. That’s what makes them so unique. The best songs to review in my opinion is: Killing In the Name Of, Bulls on Parade, Sleep Now in The Fire, and People Of The Sun!
"STOP PAUSING THE VIDEO!!!!" I have never understood that. This is a REACTION. Would y'all prefer they kept the vid playing while they tried conversing over top of it? Seriously, if you wanted to watch the video with no interruptions, then maybe you should have looked up the video instead of a REACTION to it.
Great song, great artistry, only thing that kind of rubs me the wrong way is the Beyonce loop. Feels a bit shoehorned in there, doesn't feel like there's any relationship between the two of them, kind of just pasted in.
You are so right and get this she didn’t even write her part the only reason why she’s there is because she’s a name Skylar Grey the writer of the hook should’ve been in this song
Andrew Willey and I think that the only reason Beyoncé is in it, it's because of grand public take her as a goddess, and she has been putting out the same message with her previous work.
not even one year later and you have already got 529k subs. I've been here since 70-something k subs and I really don't think that I've ever rewatched so many videos with any other channel. Much love from Denmark!!
You guys gain my respect more & more as I check out your responses to the many different genres in muziq. I became a fan instantly after viewing your response to [Reign in Blood] Just as man can not survive on water alone, The soul needs different genres of muziq to go with our different moods. You guys break these elements down nicely so we can all learn from other artists that we wouldn't normally listen too. That said, I have been a fan of Eminem since he began in late 97 but it is still nice to here unbiased reactions to not only newer artists but the original ones as well
The song wasn’t even made to be named to like that it’s more of s message so if anybody hating on the song cause u can’t jam to this I’m a club suck a fat one and keep listening to ski mask or some shit. Love this review and how long it was
He didn't say anything was wrong with ski he just saying don't come to a deep lyrical song made to be digested and thought about expecting a club banger or a turnt up track
Wow man greatest reaction video yet. I like how you guys explain the lyrics. You guys truely understand where he is coming from. Keep up the positive vibes.
Thanks for the review, guys. As an artist, the one line that'll always put a lump in my throat is "now take your best rhyme, out do it, now do it a thousand times". And at the end of the day, I'll always view this as one of the more beautiful tracks of my lifetime.
drakeunderscoremason i agree they migjt be turned off to Lamb of God at first, maybr even In Your Words would be a better one cause their is singing in the verse nd its fuckimg brutal as fuck
One of my favorite things about Eminem as a lyricist, is that he words things so creatively within his word play, it makes you wonder of like maybe if it's meant as a double entendre or maybe just some sort of hidden word play with in it. Like when he's talking about " it's the curse of the standard, that the first of the Mathers disc set." It's obvious he's talking about The Marshall Mathers LP back when he released it in 2000, but it also sounds as if he's talking about the backlash from The Marshall Mathers LP 2.
"How do i? Ever let this mic go without a fight? When i made a fuckin tightrope out of twine." This rhyme dude lol, who else do you know that rhymes entire sentences? While storytelling? And it makes total sense? Annnnd its fuckin dope as hell too? Nobody but Em lol fuckin Goat man.

People are so used to mediocrity in the rap game rn, they don’t appreciate real poetry like this. Such a great pieces, honestly.
Feels like most people only listening to the beat and chorus in rap now. That is why mumble rap is so hot now.

This is the most amazing performance by EM, ever. Or is it? It is just too fu. . ing hard to chose. He is BRILLIANt.
The fact that he is spitting these rhymes and keeping a flow WITHOUT a beat. Flowing with a soft Orchestra background is harder than acapella.
Stop saying sorry for pausing the video, that is why we are here, we wanna know your vision and what you think about the song. If people wanna just listen to the song they should probably find a version with bad reactors that only listen and then say thank you, dont forget to like bye.

I like that he got Beyonce to do the chorus. She's so idolized that this song seems as much about her as it is about Eminem. Powerful track, but something you need to be in the mood for.
December 21st = international Rush day. You guys should do an epic "2112" reaction for that day!
James Coté good observation
James Coté what's rush day??
acee outlaw Rush is an incredible band. They have always been about writing their own music rather than what the record companies wanted them to. The record company gave them one last chance at an album. They could either conform and make a record the company wanted or go out in a blaze of glory and maintain their integrity.

Em said it in an Interview that's exactly the reason why he wanted Bey on this track.
Don't mind you two pausing it cuz u actually talk sense
Thank GOD for intelligent folks who can still dissect lyrics like this. 👏🙏 After Lil Pump became famous for Gucci Gang, my hope for my generation basically disintegrated. You got yourself a new sub.
As much as I am not a Beyonce fan I must admit her pipes are killer. Also Eminem is very good at creating lyrics from nowhere. They overall lyrics, (rapping) had a powerful message. (Still not a rap fan). But I can understand all people are different.
Super excited to see you guys coming out with merch. I'm not much of a merch guy but this is the first channel I'd be proud to support and rep, been here since you were small. Designs better not be trash though! Salute and please get around to Gallant - Weight in Gold
Argonaut Yeah me too, been here since 900 subs
Im in agreeance. Lost in Vegas is a brand name I can stand behind for sure
Bout to cop some new gear 💯💯
Liam Same, been watching since 1,000
Bro's..let me thank you!, I hope you's read this because I need you to know that in some way you have helped me..not just in music but in life. I was starting to become one of them 'Eminem isn't who he used to be' negative type of fan but your whole outtake and the way you's see he lyrics and meaning behind it helped me see surpassed that bullshit and understand it more than I thought I could...for that I thank you's....keep up the good work 🖒
Thank you for supporting Michael! I'm glad we could provide a different perspective for you. Salute!
Lost In Vegas Respect.
This is what everyone needs , the words are amazing
⭕👏 4having 👁4🎨🖼
i know this is random but this is one of the reason why i enjoy this reaction channel SO MUCH. ive heard nothing but bad things about this song and how it isnt the old eminem or people saying he is doubting himself.. but no, thats not the case, because of people like that, em writes a song like this. and because of you guys you put that in perspective, instead of criticizing the whole song, you listen to every word, ever lyric and appreciate what you guys are given and enjoy it!! and its not like your just bullshitting for youtube, these are your HONEST OPINIONS. you guys keep doing your thing!! much love
Eminem is a great songwriter he has some of the best lyrics I have ever heard
Interesting that you said that it sounds like Skylar Greg wrote the hook. She actually did write the hook too lol
Lol! Oh no, we knew that going into the song. We looked at the credits lol.
Dimitris Bright no Eminem did
Aj Harris No Skylar Greg wrote it. Em admitted it on a podcast episode he did with Rick Rubin. Skylar wrote the hook and Beyonce caught wind of the song and was asked to perform it
skylar greg! LMAO funniest shit in awhile
Rick convinced her to do it, i still dont think she is a fan of marshall... maybe the pot belly line pissed her off... no music video, no live performance with em either very strange...
I found your channel recently. Gotta say, I really enjoy your videos. It's awesome listening to people with a deep understanding of hip-hop, talk about various songs. It's refreshing to hear from people who understand the lyrical content. Most people can't hear past the beat and the flow. Thank you.
"Beyonce is an embodiment of beauty" Amen! Also, yes that's how rappers should mature. Very beautiful.
I can't believe I'm just finding the channel and joined right awayl. You guys are dope
He is no more 20 so I kinda expect this coming from him. That song shows his vulnerability and mature lyricism and I respect him more for that. Not forgetting the wordplay... God damnnn!!!!
Eminem was never really big at 20 I think he didn’t make it big until late 20s
Yup well reaction/review couldn’t have been any better.. always keeping it 100 is the reason I’ve been here since the beginning!
I also really appreciate that he added Beyoncé because she can totally relate to what he’s saying. She is known as the queen B so using her to sing the chorus reminds us that both of them are just human beings like he wants
"I love eminems edge", kamikaze drops months later "eminem shouldnt be dissing people its too juvenile and im too mature for this"
helix pyre84 i also took note of the comments you highlighted. It wasn't cool ofe guy to sound two sided.
They should REALLY listen to Music to be Murdered By.
3 years later..2 more platinum albums..
Ryan your analysis of the twine verse was awesome, especially to process its potential meaning that quick. Love the channel!
Do The Beautiful and Damned by G Eazy
you guys should do some old Em'. I've been a die hard fan since he dropped the Slim Shady LP and treasuring his music ever since, even when he puts out shit that don't really shine or you personally don't care for as much you can still always find something in the song that still makes you think at times 'holy shit' lol.
Just a few older songs that would be sweet to see u guys touch on:
*Infinite*
_his first albums title track, perfect sneak preview of his career, he had to come out swinging and prove himself to ever last as a white rapper and his Slim Shady persona served that purpose, as the years went by and he cemented himself so every track didn't have to be serial kill/diss track he was able to experiment more. Just with how much he was praised for the tone/style of Recovery, Infinite proves he was able to put out content like that but back before even his brake out LP_
*Bully*
_highly underrated diss track I don't see mentioned often, no matter how many top ten lists I've seen (lookin' at u WatchMojo lol). It always lands on his Nail in the Coffin track instead which is still great but still not in the same class as Bully is. I could go years in between listens and get that melody in my head and still be able to recall the song word for word, on the musical side it's got a catchy melody that he raps/sings too to keep u hypnotized and on the lyrics side he was throwing shots to not only Ja Rule/Benzino/Irv Gotti etc... but also Suge Knight in a round about but still obvious way._
*Rock Bottom & Bad Meets Evil* off the Slim Shady LP for obvious reasons I'm sure u guys could elaborate on
a few of his newer tracks on MMLP2
*Bad Guy* _a must, i remember when I got this album I just sat down to listen through it with no distractions and the first track on it was probably my favorite (serves as a sequel to Stan but serves as a poetical way to relate that story to what he's been through over the last few years), when the beat switches up and he goes into that outro holy shit, I could listen to that song a million times and still get goose bumps throughout that part, those lyrics are just so deep/epic and with that theatrical/drama sounding beat underneath to emphasize what he's saying, perfect._
*Brainless, Evil Twin, Groundhogs Day, Rap God & Wicked Ways* _could go into every track but this has gotten to long already lmao, pretty much some tracks I recommend every time I hear someone say they don't listen to Em' anymore cause he fell off, these tracks are highlights that stand out and could go up against his older classics and hold their ground, Groundhogs Day is a great example of him showing off while sounding a little nostalgic for the long time fans lol_
alright I'll stop for now lmao sorry for the wall of text, hopefully its seen hahaha
Em knew people were going to tear the album to shreds. That’s why he literally told you that in the first single.
LOVE you guys and your channel. it means something very special to show all of the different genre’s and styles etc....breaking down stereotypes, and pre-convinced notions.
thank you .
this is different for em-but i loved it. it’s almost like spoken word versus rap. it’s very beautiful. also,; people over look how hard it is to rap over basically no beat. (orchestra, but not a typical rap beat)
beyoncé is not typically my style however i really enjoyed her in this song. very soft and simple yet beautiful.
Damn, this is how reaction to a video should be. They break it down and explain the meaning behind each line. Love guys. Do more.
I don’t know what you guys thought of his BET cypher, but I thought it was hilarious that even Trump, who hits back at EVERYONNNNNE, didn’t say a word back at Em. Lol. Did someone on his staff actually know something correct? “Mr. President, you don’t want beef with Eminem, sir.” 😂
Sara Starkaryen no one responds too em, not just the prez
Nathan S.
Exactly, I’m one of Em’s biggest fans, but that was overall one of the worst freestyles I’ve ever heard, especially for someone with such a great history with freestyles.
Prolly cause he’s white
LRKR lmfao, NOT! do you know how many famous whites trump's attacked who talked shit about him? Shit he deserved. It's not because he's white.
Can’t believe how much you guys have grown since I subbed. I’ve been here since 6k
ChrisPlays think ive been here since 100 subs lol i was thinking exact same thing
Rage Against the Machine - Bulls on Parade.
Do it! They have the perfect mix of rock, funk, hip hop, and metal. Plus a good message. A FREE THINKING message.
You guys are honestly the only Channel that does the best reaction /reviews!!💯 -shady 2.0 cypher... please❔❓⁉️💯
PERFECT REACTION THIS IS THE KIND OF VIDEO I WAS LOOKING FOR
Perfect review of a song that many ignorant people blew off. Much appreciated.
Medicine man by Dr.dre ft Eminem
YAZAN this one got to be done
YAZAN omg Eminem kills that song... one of his best songs ever as of lyrical content...
YES! And then Deep Water with Kendrick Lamar.
@Lost In Vegas
Yes!!!!
Deftones - Be Quiet And Drive (Far Away)
FrozeNuclear Change in the house of Flies
Why are people being so disrespectful towards Eminem because of this song, yeh his flow has changed.... so the fuck what it’s his music ffs and every album he changes his style. Just because he’s not rapping about taking drugs with a fast beat doesn’t mean he’s fallen off the throne. He’s just gotten more mature and sensitive with his lyrics is all
Best reaction video I've watched so far. Yall really break down the bars and do a great job of explaining each lyric. Props to yall.
The theater curtains analogy and poking his head out from behind the curtain on the stage is a reference to the eminem show and encore, two of his biggest albums.
I wonder if Beyoncé did this song with him, or he ask her specifically, because she is in the same boat of high expectations placed on her too. He is regarded as one of the best rappers of all time/our generation and she is regarded as one of the best singers. Everything she puts out is expected to go to the top of the charts as well. He could of had any female sing on this song with him. She probably has similar feelings as what’s said in his verses and can relate. What do you think?
Beyoncé could really relate to this. Even tho Beyoncé said herself she doesn’t even care ab topping charts “even tho she does anyways” she only cares ab doing what she loves and that’s making music. But people have grown so over critical over the years expecting these celebrities to be perfect like they don’t have lives of their own. Beyoncé has 3 children and a husband, she can’t always live up to these standards they hold her to.
You guys spoiled me because now I can't listen to any of my old youtube reactors my standards have evolved. I enjoyed the way you dissected this 🖒
Eminem used to study the dictionary for 2 hrs per day to enhance his art. He is a genius and Im not a huge rap/hip hop fan. Much respect to Marshall from a die hard metal fan! \m/
I just started checking y’all out yesterday. All I can say is I love it man!! Great work and excellent how you can go from rap to country to metal with no hesitation or hatred!! Thank y’all for being real!!
React to eminem- chloraseptic ft 2 chainz and phresher, Eminem is insane on that track! Sounds like he going in like classic slim shady
Insightful as always guys. "Changing of the Guards" time indeed. Please do Chris Cornell "Seasons"
FINALLY, an intelligent, informed, adult review of this incredible song, one of the best of his career in my opinion. I still believe that several tracks from Revival, this one and Believe in particular, are going to eventually have the times catch up with them, and they will be looked back on as the masterpieces they truly are, misunderstood and misjudged during their time. Many great, now considered God like, master artists did not have their work understood or fully appreciated in their own life time. Van Gogh died penniless. Unable to sell his pieces, he would just try to give them away, although some people wouldn't even take them. Now his pieces sell for hundreds of millions and are revered as priceless pieces of art, masterpieces. I do believe these things can happen with artists. Sometimes the times have to catch up with what they've created. Just hope Em is alive to see his masterpieces hung in the gallery where they belong.
19:27 when he starts talking about Macklemore and that what em said on the Chloraseptic remix 😂
Simple GENIUS 💫
so true…
so powerful 💪
so much soul ❤️
keep going ✨
You guys honestly have the best insight when it comes to reviews. You look past the surface level and don't do any bull shit and I respect that. We need more of you in music. Great review as always.
Finally!!! Been patiently waiting for this
It's called maturity.
Maturity doesn't always equate to great music.
Lost In Vegas yes! I’ve been saying this for so long.
Lost In Vegas but this is great when have you ever heard eminem the vulnerable you haven’t and I think that’s why a lot of people are having a hard time with this song. It’s like your hero is telling you you shouldn’t believe in him like a hero the way you do.
react to Yelawolf - Best Friend ft. Eminem
corny ass fucking song, nope
So nice to find videos of people listening to his lyrics and acknowledge his evolution/vulnerability.
I love you guys! Look... I'm a 50 year old white guy, and I learn something from every one of your posts. You have opened my eyes to some shit I never would have known about. Thank you for this awesome channel!
Asked u a few months ago and just wanted to ask again if you could react to
Shady CXVPHER - Eminem, Slaughterhouse Fresstyle
Megadeth - Tornado of Souls
Domination - Pantera (live moscow '91)
Metallica - One
been requesting for ages please!
jOOCE hell yeah! I hope they do all these songs
+Rodrigo Nicknich
oh yeah i love what they're doing! i can genuinely say i've been here since about 10k subs and probably only missed 4-5 reactions.
jOOCE no one wants to see/hear to black dudes react to that bruh 😂😂😂
huehue 'bruh' first off you sound like a degenerate, second clearly people do with 74 likes on my comment and count less other comments who've requested it and third stfu let people request, no one goes on other peoples comments and puts that on there
+Rhys G exactly! makes it better when its like that!
Johnny Cash - Hurt
Or
Led Zeppelin - Stairway to Heaven
I would appreciate
greetings from south america #internationalsupport
If their going to do hurt I think I would rather hear the original NIN version. But the one that's hard to find without the annoying static sound in the left headphone.
Eminem took this in such a poetic approach to this. This was gorgeous. I feel like this “swan song” is him achieving self-actualization and maturity with confidence and vulnerability in such measured moderation. You guys made some mind blowing insights about aging gracefully into or out of showbiz, and hip hop specifically. Great video!
The best reaction channel. Always keeping it 100% real and actually breaking down the song. Thank you guys I subbed
The ending verse had me in chills!😂
Oh wow...DMX and Nelly giving reactions 😂😂
Dmx and Ti
I’m really enjoying these videos guys! Love the lyric breakdown and appreciation of small details. Check out Anderson .Paak Suede
I watched the Master of Puppets, Walk, Killing in the name of, Tennessee Whiskey videos. Enjoyed what they were. You guys discovering new songs/styles of music. Your musical knowledge being applied to what your watching has been a pleasure to watch, even when your talking about music outside of your comfort zone. But THIS VIDEO...y'all are right in the pocket of every line Em was spittin', and breaking down the lyrics. It was great to learn some things. Great video!
First reaction channel I subscribed too, you two understand hip hop and the creativity behind the writing process. Big Eminem fan for the art of writing not the substance, not too many can separate the two
Brother Ali - Own Light.
Some positive hip hop.
Beyonce posted this on her twitter😂😂ruclips.net/video/dghlki9CJ1A/видео.html
His sway in the morning was dope
Uncle Sam Goddamn is a great choice as well. Interesting video.
His five fingers of death freestyle was dope!
that would be a dope one
id like to see them do forrest whitaker or dorian
He showed his vulnerability when he wrote about Haley. I thought that worked.
Eminem - Chloraseptic (Remix) check it out. That's modern day Em on full blast! Also, Untitled off the Recovery album. Shit's bonkers!
14:10 Something else dope about the "tightrope out of twine" lyric is that it fits right back into the trapese line in his first verse. so dope.
i like that you guys actually understand what eminem is trying to say in this song because many people hate on it and they call it trash when in fact it's poetry im just saying i love how u dissect the lyrics
Do akala fire in the booth part 4,the lyrics,cadence,delivery,schemes,word play,lung capacity,creativity,meanings,poetrytruths,speed,and FLOW are all insaneee...full package,on all whole other level, you guys will have a blast with it.thank me later.
One by metallica!
TiberiusGracchus oh yesssss
TiberiusGracchus they did
Great sports analogy. On that note How about that Joel Embiid?? 46 / 15 / 7 / 7!!!!!
Beast!
If he can stay healthy man this team is going to be great for awhile. Been waiting a long time for this "process" but it looks like its finally time to win.
great review guys! nice to see some people still appreciate how great Em is. I hate how the younger generation in hip-hop hates on the greats like Nas and Em!
I have become soooo addicted to your vids! Best channel on RUclips!
ANY SONG BY RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE
Rage Against The Machine isn’t rock, rap, or metal... they’re a combination of all 3. Rage Against The Machine (RATM) is credited with creating a new genre, Rap Metal. RATM writes about very real social, political, and economic injustices in the United States. That’s what makes them so unique. The best songs to review in my opinion is: Killing In the Name Of, Bulls on Parade, Sleep Now in The Fire, and People Of The Sun!
Yes Thank You, I tought I was the only one requesting them
Dude u guys gotta do some rage!! Freedom
Hell yes
They've already done it
"STOP PAUSING THE VIDEO!!!!"
I have never understood that. This is a REACTION. Would y'all prefer they kept the vid playing while they tried conversing over top of it? Seriously, if you wanted to watch the video with no interruptions, then maybe you should have looked up the video instead of a REACTION to it.
Great song, great artistry, only thing that kind of rubs me the wrong way is the Beyonce loop. Feels a bit shoehorned in there, doesn't feel like there's any relationship between the two of them, kind of just pasted in.
Andrew Willey thank you
You are so right and get this she didn’t even write her part the only reason why she’s there is because she’s a name Skylar Grey the writer of the hook should’ve been in this song
Andrew Willey and I think that the only reason Beyoncé is in it, it's because of grand public take her as a goddess, and she has been putting out the same message with her previous work.
@andrew wiley 100% agree!!!!
not even one year later and you have already got 529k subs. I've been here since 70-something k subs and I really don't think that I've ever rewatched so many videos with any other channel. Much love from Denmark!!
You guys gain my respect more & more as I check out your responses to the many different genres in muziq. I became a fan instantly after viewing your response to [Reign in Blood] Just as man can not survive on water alone, The soul needs different genres of muziq to go with our different moods. You guys break these elements down nicely so we can all learn from other artists that we wouldn't normally listen too. That said, I have been a fan of Eminem since he began in late 97 but it is still nice to here unbiased reactions to not only newer artists but the original ones as well
The song wasn’t even made to be named to like that it’s more of s message so if anybody hating on the song cause u can’t jam to this I’m a club suck a fat one and keep listening to ski mask or some shit. Love this review and how long it was
ain't nothin wrong with machine gun flow ski mask lol he's a funny guy with funny bars
He didn't say anything was wrong with ski he just saying don't come to a deep lyrical song made to be digested and thought about expecting a club banger or a turnt up track
an eminem fan who can't handle criticism towards his favourite rapper the lord and saviour Eminem.
fucking lovely. SMH.
sorry but another rapper made a version of this that made Eminem's almost unlistenable(not because Eminem was bad either or the song was wack).
Van Halen eruption vs metallica pulling teeth
One day we will get Mural by Lupe Fiasco
you guys killed it, best reaction and review channel
Wow man greatest reaction video yet. I like how you guys explain the lyrics. You guys truely understand where he is coming from. Keep up the positive vibes.
When you guys react to The Pot by Tool , make sure you got the bass turned up and volume on 101.. I'll be sure to get a hat and a shirt
Megadeth - Tornado of souls!
Lost In Vegas please react to Lauryn Hill - Ex factor and Zion. Love your channel
Thanks for the review, guys. As an artist, the one line that'll always put a lump in my throat is "now take your best rhyme, out do it, now do it a thousand times". And at the end of the day, I'll always view this as one of the more beautiful tracks of my lifetime.
Beyonce is in same space like Michael Jackson great entertainment 🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝👸🐝 full package.she is a definition of an artist genius
Eminem NO ONE CLOSE TO HIM IMJS maybe I’m bias #teamMICHIGAN 😍😍💥🔥🔥👑💪🏽💪🏽💯
Lamb of god - Laid to Rest.
This is my first time listening to this song. Not a fan of new Eminem.
Edit:Eminem killed it. Dope
Nah nah nah that's a little too heavy to start them in LOG. Start with King Me
Walk with me jn hell..
Best LoG song.
drakeunderscoremason i agree they migjt be turned off to Lamb of God at first, maybr even In Your Words would be a better one cause their is singing in the verse nd its fuckimg brutal as fuck
Whoa I didn't notice I spent 20 minutes on this
One of my favorite things about Eminem as a lyricist, is that he words things so creatively within his word play, it makes you wonder of like maybe if it's meant as a double entendre or maybe just some sort of hidden word play with in it. Like when he's talking about " it's the curse of the standard, that the first of the Mathers disc set." It's obvious he's talking about The Marshall Mathers LP back when he released it in 2000, but it also sounds as if he's talking about the backlash from The Marshall Mathers LP 2.
"How do i? Ever let this mic go without a fight? When i made a fuckin tightrope out of twine."
This rhyme dude lol, who else do you know that rhymes entire sentences? While storytelling? And it makes total sense? Annnnd its fuckin dope as hell too?
Nobody but Em lol fuckin Goat man.
