For people that don't know....
The "random black guy" in the background is Denaun Porter (also known as Mr. Porter and Kon Artis). He is a close friend of Eminem, was in the group D12 (along with Em,) helped produce Eminem's first album (Infinite), and is Eminem's current hype man, after Proof (Eminem's best friend, D12 member, etc) died in 06.
A hype man is the 2nd guy that helps the main rapper rap along and finish his/hers sentences (usually when the main rapper is out of breath). In a song as complex as this, a hype man is crucial. Without one, Em would be gasping for air.
well said.
Oooh thats why he does what he does.
The Hyper Gamers it hurts that you had to explain to the certain people who have no clue about hip hop and who kon artist is and can I just add his verse on Halies Revenge was hard 🔥
That guy Shane comical gold
❤️ good explanation, Mr porter been always there for Em
Still the best rapper alive
**one of the best**

If you look closely, the people complaining about the "fat, black guy in the background" are mainly people with usernames and profile pictures that would suggest that they are six year olds or people with the brain capacities of one. Let me help you guys,
Welcome to hip-hop. No one performs the entire song without some sort of assistance. Sometimes, rappers perform over a playback, sometimes they lip sync completely. In this case, Eminem performs with his hype man, Mr. Porter. It's Mr. Porter's job to keep the energy flowing and finish whatever lines Eminem need to take a break for.
It's a simple concept, but you know, half of Eminem's fanbase is composed of toddlers; How could I blame them?
lol. Most of ems fans nowadays are just depressed white kids that only listen to a few of his inspirational songs and call themselves stans haha
+Joshua Wayne I get he's there to fill the gaps when Eminem has to breath in but he interjects at the worst points and shouldn't be there at that point. Ruining the feel of the live performance.
+TheTonie4 You said it yourself, he interjects when Em needs to take a break. How did he interject at the wrong points if he's doing it when Em needs to take a breath?
+Joshua Wayne 0:39 Where he says "Rap bot, rap bot" No need for him to jump in there. It just doesn't fit for me.
+Joshua Wayne lol "Mr. Porter" is Kon Artis. From D12
6:03 I'm pretty sure I would've died if he did that to me
nickability same
Yup
the thing that he does at 5:14, I would never wash my hand again
Yeah
Ye I would never shower
This album MMLP2 touches on every part of Eminem's career. It has the darkness of the first MMLP, the somewhat FED UP sound on the Slim Shady LP, the pin point precision of The Eminem Show, the playfulness of Encore, the rapid fire aggressive flow on Recovery and Bad Meets Evil, and some of the silly and crazy moments of Relapse. MAKES THIS ALBUM FUCKIN INSANE.
bryan bosher it's my favourite album ever
I feel like So Much better was a throwback to Puke from Encore.
So much respect, to sing this live is insane. So many Lyrics to remember, the speed rapping in 1 take. Just crazy, real talent.
he didn't sing
lukill983 yea he rapped
honestly its not hard if you got a good memory its pretty easy to do it just saying lol i rap it everyday with ease when im bored
BADmasterAkaRapper no need for good memory, just repeat the song for one hour and it'll just stick to your mind. The speed part, just practice and practice.
BADmasterAkaRapper i reckon you are a sucessful rapper now?
Who still comes back to watch this performance?? Em kills it
Me
My cat just died... It was allergic to the epicness.
Haglong 144 Obviously. There’s nothing epic about a cat. You should get a dog like a normal person.

Im sorry :(
@@user-vr5zk9ox8d cats > dogs cant change my mind
Oh crap im so sorry
Can someone tell me how he is 40?
He's 40?! Mother..of..God
Nope he's actually 41! :O :D
Myca Bradley
Mother of rap god... oh wait
I know
41*
I think I need therapy because I've been lyrically molested......
Sue eminem if you feel molested then
***** yeah he would become a millionaire.
Whenever I see Mr. Porter and Eminem, I think of D12. I miss their band if you know what I'm trying to say.
There a group not a band, havnt u listen to my band
^Yes I have.
On that record my band even proof says we're not a Band bitch we don't play instruments
^I'm saying that as a joke, cause they made the song "My band". You should re-read my comment over and over for you process what's being said.
Rip his grammar
I'd like to see another rapper do that song live that's a great way to prove who's the best rapper . Think of it like a game of horse .
And the thing that makes this even better is that he is 41 years old
***** Tupac*
and the fact that he's cutting out all the swear words in his song with his tongue while he raps, and how this song live sounds just like the original O.o
Raj-M I think Tupacs lyrics were the best, biggies flow was the best, and Eminem is all around the best. Things couldve changed if they hadnt died though
Sebastian Lindgren
LOL shit
Swear words are censored yet "deep throating" isn't... that logic
Cuz deep throating isnt a bad word. its just a sexual reference
yeah that was the thing I noticed aswell . But it ain't a swear word.
Did I say it was a swear word? Sometimes sexual references can be alot more offensive.
But “lyrics” is
I thought the same thing lol
People you know that black guy in the background is Mr Porter right? He has been with Eminem for a very long time and he has to be there because Em needs to breath, he's a human like us too you know? He is also part of D12, so, they are very close friends.
Eminem is not human in the slightest. I have never met a human this good.
Gamerguy9900 That's because Lil Wayne stole his place, Eminem is now compared with E.T.
Every rapper needs a hype man for live shows. Period...
MrJuanbaz are you serious?! Lil wayne stole his place?! realy OMG... you kidding right??!

Now I know why Eminem won an Oscar.. he's a legend
Rest In Peace Mister Poter
Best mc of all time. There will not be anyone in our lifetime that will topple marshell. He has made it to where he will go down in history as num 1.
It goes
1. Eminem
2. Tupac
3. Biggie
4. Dr dre
5. 50 Cent
Best of all time? Ha.First of all, Dr.Dre is not a top five MC! It's funny how people only mention the most popular rappers as the best. Popular DOES NOT equate to being the best.
LoveAboveHate Eminem is not very popular but he is the best at what he does.
Wong Guan Hao HA! Eminem IS very popular. He's known worldwide! And, yes popularity does not equate to being "THE BEST"! but Eminem is known worldwide because HE IS the GREATEST rapper of all time! It might sound cheesy and shit, but that's simply the truth.
LoveAboveHate they are popular for the right reasons.
1.BIG
2.Slim
3.Pac
4. Is anyone else really worth mentioning??
"the guy on stage with Em" is a member of D12, Mr Porter, hes there so Em can breathe while not losing the pace on the song, also in case god forbids Em forgets the lyrics
rap god....
I love his rapping so much it makes me cry
😂😂😂😂😂😂
You need to seek counseling
🥱
😧
😬
"Rap God" is not just self declared. Not only his fans but everyone in the game knows he is the rap god. That's it. Anyone that disagrees is 100% wrong
lol but no im not
I listen to all rap, to Kendrick Lamar and Tyler the creator to warren G and Pac. but what Em has done is amazing, hes been to hell and back, got bad off drugs, had his women leave him and not mention he grew up is a hostile environment where he was the outcast and he still made it in the rap game, and over a decade has remained and legitimate and relevant artist and lyricist. He is a Rap god.
Same here I'm an 80s baby, I've listened and watched the transition of mainstream hip hop and listen to underground hip hop to this day. But he is on some level I, nor any one can reach unless they directly bit him.
oh great, yes he's a great rapper. LOL it's nothing to brag about except among people who like to rhyme and talk fast LOL again !
Where have you been? Have you ever listened rap? Its ALL bragging. Just most people brag about dumb shit like their money and cars. He's bragging about the truth. So LOL and LOL again somewhere else. Go comment on a Katy Perry video or something
He is so good live. I thought he would not be that good but he was freaking AWESOME
Nothing to say :). Eminem is BEST (y)

Eminem..the only rapper who can perform live
😂please boy stop 🛑
Brought tears to my eyes, he's so good at what he does. Been listening to Em's music for almost 20 years. His lyrics carried me through puberty and some rough times in my family, and my life. And damn--he's even better than before; still relevant and irreverent af. Thanks Em; love you, man.
Love your comment. You are not alone in this, I almost had the same struggles as you had. He is the White 2Pac for me..
Couldn’t said it better myself, I feel the same

Eminem is truly establishing his dominance in the rap game.......right now....nobody compares....the only one who can probably hold their groung against Em is either Nas or Kendrick.....other than that .....nobody comes clise to Ems lyrical ability
Em is RapGod

Personally, I think that B. Rabbit, Slim Shady, and Marshall Mathers are just as good!
no tupac
Jonathan Fishman And that white guy from 8mile :)
and the white guy from D12
haha this guy is sick i could not even do the 1st verse without mistakes in the first couple of sentences he just kills its live
You are not able to do 1% of what he do...
every artist made mistake in live...
i can some of the gay boy part
Well.. I'm not gonna say I can do the whole song yet, but I can do the fast part pretty well. After listening to the song about 15 thousand times ofcourse
Its different when you write songs or even any music. Most people think its hard but you put in so many hours that it just comes naturally. he wrote the lyrics, he doesn't have to memorize anything
nebunas Did you know half or the song was freestyled at first? :P
I watched this live. Historical.
what a legend
hahaha the word "lyrics" is censored 4:20
Lmaoo they even censored "maybe"
it's not censored he is trying to catch his breath
Abdelrazieg Mohamed it was censored
People thought he said nigga
Abdelrazieg Mohamed you can clearly see that he said it but it was censored
The "funny black man" has been with em for years; he isn't new
Kon Artis
That's Mister Poter With Eminem
Everytime i see a backup rapper for eminem, I always feel 'sad' because that could be Proof. RIP
Eminem Forgot a thing
To breathe .
he always forge🙄😹
Damn, didn't think he could rap that fast live, props Em.
lucky enough to see him live... but to give him a hi five? lucky
My mom use to work with him selling his charter flights, she even was hit "body guard" once.
Noah Marino his*
*"You are breathtaking!"*
Everyone can get mad at me for saying this but I really would rather the performance without that backround rapper. He was really annoying and I just don't understand why he needs a backround rapper.
A hype man is required for live performances, as they give you small moments to catch your breath. Studio recordings are very rarely one long single take, with each verse done individually, or even a line at a time, then it's all matched together. They are also done standing still in a booth, not jumping around on stage. Even with Denaun finishing off lines for him to take a real gulp of air, you can see Em gets way out of breath sometimes, and can barely get lines out with any force. Without him there, it would be a complete mess.
I do agree, though. Mr.Porters voice has never suited Em in the hype man role.
Em's life long friend, Proof, was always his hype man, and they were a great team. Voices worked together, and they bounced off eachother at the perfect moments. If you watch closely, you will see Denaun often misses when Em wants cover, and even spits the wrong line towards the end of the track.
RIP PROOF.
Sypher474 Thanks for taking the time to explain this to me because I really didn't understand why this big black guy was jumping around on stage finishing eminem's sentaces.. (I can say big black guy black)
He is also from d12
Well reason why he there if you couldn't clearly see was every time em took breath he fill the words in , it's a constant flow
***** I don't know why I said big black guy I HATE when people say "black guy" because what if it were a white guy up there no one would say big white guy.
How the fruck he remember the whole song??
no wonder EMINEM IS THE RAP GOD
There is some screens just infront of the people faces down at the edge of the scene if you stand at eminems place and looks thowards the crowds faces. He remembers the most but the screens is there for help.
*****
I have a dream to attend a concert of Eminem
It's not that hard to remember. I was listening to the song non stop and I know it word by word now, and Eminem wrote it so I bet he learned it from letter to letter while he was doing that. It just comes off natural after a while.
Just like every rapper, they rehearse months before their upcoming show.
Didn't he write the song? It makes sense why he remembers it then.
It's crazy to see the live performance of this. The performance is really well thought out, the dude who backs him out knows everything he supposed to say. Em got old lungs, so the way they blend together is key for Em's overall performance and it causes a magnificent result!
Correction he has no lungs
True
5:28 aw, Mr Porter going to soon, handed it well though 😊
He is amazing
No, but why you think it?
***** seriosuly dude its people like u who make the illuminati exist, im sick of seeing on EVERY FAMOUS persons music videos or even movies that ohhh this guy is part of the illuminati. people were saying eminem killed proof off for the illuminati ????? what the fuck is with that, he was his best fucking friend and fame was pissing him off at that time why the fuck would he kill proof off for himself? seriously this is why i hate the internet and little kids, rumors spread shit gets made up and the we all get fed bullshit seriously fuck off with ur illumanati shit
Illuminati isnt in the music industry it's much bigger then that, read up before talkin shit
***** So if we take a pic like that we are in Illuminati? Damn that is a little to easy to join Illuminati .
brad swiftwolfe I agree with you
The official music video (came out today) is good, but… nothing beats the energy of this performance. It's outstanding.

All u fake fans saying u love em but then u dont know whos the guy in the back smh

Not to take anything away from Mr Porter, but Proof was much better. He and Em had an incredible sync. Proof knew exactly where to fill in the words so em could breath
Its just time and experience, give Porter some time and he will be as good as Proof, maybe even better.
they were like the same person when performing, and if you watch Proof , he was ALWAYS on time and seemed to even know when Em needed to take a breath , but that connection is possible when you grow up with someone .... Porter sucked when he first started doing this
He's just fillin' in as a backing vocal there dude.. what did you expect, he's doing fine with his role
Eminems backup guy stuffed up one part and then eminem looks at him, still managed to sound right haha but respect to both of them! Best rapper
"Backup guy" SMH
His name is mr.porter
Hype man geez
Kon Artis a.k.a Mr.Porter. Everybody in D12 has two names, there r 6 rappers and they r all from Detroit, "D12"
Lou Deyarmin No, they're called D12 as it stands for Dirty Dozen, even though it only had 6 members each member had an alto ego, Eminem - Slim Shady | Kon Artist - Mr. Porter etc
Back in my High School days, I was completely avoiding rap and instead was into the rock and roll scene (classic and modern rock) - Back then you usually liked one or the other, not both - In my later years though, I've really started to love and appreciate the greats in Rap and hip hop.
It's a shame though, that so many rap fans just stick to hip hop/rap and don't cross over into all the great rock out there. If you dig into what people like Eminem, Dre, Jay-Z, etc are into : they'll tell you they are HUGE rock fans - They were rockin out to Nirvana just like I did and nowadays they recognize bands like Arcade Fire and Grizzly Bear as some of the best --- They are STEEPED in music of all types - it's where they draw some of their musical inspiration. Many of their fans should open their minds a bit in checking out and appreciating other musical genres.
Why be a god when you can be Eminem.
This will always be one of his best performance
I would shit my pants if i touched Eminems hand let alone be close to him...
lol
Same
Isn't it supposed to be "let alone touch his hand"?
Meh, I dunno.
I too would shit my pants indefinitely if I got to give Em a front row highfive, let alone stand next to him. XP
He was, is and will be the best rapper ever.My favorite rapper.
Damn why yall be dissin Mr Porter.
Its like if Proof was still alive, he'd still be doin that instead of Porter.Someone gotta do that job.
Everything else gets cut out, except "deepthroatin'". Well done UMG.
I know right? They censored pretty much the entire song but the roast. The probably thinking kids will see this and start saying the swears but what about "but i got your mom deep throating"?
4:22 they censored the word "lyrics", like bro are you serious

Rap God. Rap GOAT. Rap all time greatest. This is the best rapper dead or alive. He will live forever.
Eminem will always be my favorite artist.
He must have one hell of a breathing technique going on here. It's gotta also be pretty damn hard to remember all of those lyrics on the spot.
its not hard when you write the lyrics
Yeah, when you know you'll have to perform them I'm sure they stick in your head but when you say as much as he does in this song and have to remember a whole bunch of other songs with a whole ton a lyrics, things are bound to get jumbled up.
Telecaster Magician i can rap almost this whole song and i am by no means an amazing rapper...
Its hook,verse,hook,verse, not that hard, i guess
yeah those 20 supersonic secs must be pretty hard, with all those people shouting right next to him

4:26, it gets epic
REALLY EPICCCCCC
Heck yeah! That's some sexy rhyming!!!!
I actually think I like the instrumental in this version better than studio version!
true
especially in the end
i remember seeing this one before the official clip..... i couldnt explain what i feel in the moment... it was so unreal, lyric, gesture, long perfect song...
got some thrill.... this song will be study in college one day... to explain line by line, bars after bars. its not coincidence if Em call this song "RAP GOD"
IF I COULD GO BACK IN TIME......I WOULD SIGN EMINEM WHEN HE LIVED ON 8MILE......DAMN....
But you can't thank God, because if you did Eminem would have been found dead in an alley years ago with a heroin needle dangling from his arm and a bunch of crumbled up notepad pages with his platinum selling lyrics on them, because you failed to promote and produce him properly. So focus on the future and maybe you wont fail in your true purpose here.....whatever that turns out to be.
ITS CALLED A JOKE......OLE LOWLY ONE.....
SO BASICALLY THIS GUY IS CALLING EM A LUCKY WOULD BE DOPE FIEND.........STUNNING...
Nope I'm calling Dr. Dre a Great Producer and Manager of artists and You ....not even close. Dre knows how to "Create" an artist. Talent is everywhere.....Its marketing where one gets "Rich and famous" FURTHERMORE...Eminem is a dope fiend (And he will back me on this ) and always will be....its a disease and had he not been successfully managed (Luckily) like he was, he would have been exactly as I described in your "Back to the future" fantasy.
gstanz67 How the fuck is Em a dope fiend; Kim was a dope fiend... Eminem was only addicted to Valium, Vicodin and Ambien; so get you facts right before you try and slander someone over false accusations. PRICK!
Wow he's the best no doubt! Exactly like the studio version! But it's actually funny how his backup singer was so excited jumping and dancing to the music while eminem was like nope
Hes called con artis, a member of D12. I like him but I think he kind of ruined it.
Haron Enriquez Wow
Haron Enriquez it is kon artis...... lol XD
Haron Enriquez lmatfo are u blind? u must be to not see its LEARLY NOT Busta
are we talking about rap speed? I think dan bull beat him there
6:04 How lucky after Rap god u get a high five from the Rap God!!
I remember watching this live, man what a performance.
it’s been many years, I always recall this video and get back to watch it again.😂 full of energy!!!
Eminem never knew his dad... he grew up getting bullied (attacked) and he never stayed in one place for very long... he has insane superhuman skills... put that all together? Eminem is probably a demigod.
If you combine talent with success and the impact on the game heres the top 5 MCs to date
1. Eminem
2. 2Pac
3. Biggie
4. Nas
5. 50 Cent
y do people keep putting 50 cent at 5
Biggest debut album and he changed the mixtape game... and has destroyed so many careers.
I don't think anyone currently can yet surpass Tupac. He had the ability to change the hiphop culture itself as Makavelli and put an end to the thuggish hiphop mentality by dissing it. It's also like a classical movie, you can't put those who inspired to be like him to be better than him. How can you rate Gone With The Wind with the top ten movies of today? Of course, Gone With The Wind out ranks them because it carries an eternal quality. Almost every rapper puts Tupac as #1 for various reason. Also there's a reason why people would say, "if Tupac was still alive, would he still be head of the game?" or "If Tupac was still alive, would rap be the same? (the most common saying to be honest)" He has that strong of a vibe for everyone.
Pretty much, you have to take that power into consideration and why people are saying this. He's also the most known conscious rapper, with actual classrooms in universities studying his lyrical talent and philosophy over poverty lifestyles. Not many rappers put their whole perspective of life over everything they rap about. Even when he raps negatively before becoming Makavelli, he always says: "I'm a child of my environment". Eminem is #2 because he knows how to be lyrical, but he doesn't really have a philosophy like Tupac does (it's the same methods a lot of rappers have), but he does show a transition like Tupac did, from being a tough dude to a peaceful man. And he's different because he can rap fast and slow melodiously, but speed doesn't make him better. People tend to think that with Eminem.
He is above Biggie Smalls because he puts "emotion" into his music more than BIG and shows a transition over the decade. BIG only talked about partying, fighting, loving, and showed no transition. He had great lyrics and flow, but doesn't show a transition or creative persona like people such as Grandmaster Flash and his song The Message. Eminem does slightly beat Nas because of his emotions and flexible lyrics. Nas shows no emotion, but really puts it out there as though he's Socrates in Hip Hop, but there are people who do more conscious rapping than him who don't really have credit (you should check out underground Hip Hop, there are some people who are almost as good as Eminem). This is why it's not good to make a list on who's the best if you provide only mainstreamed artists (Jay Z should never be in the top ten unless you're a fan I guess lol).
50 Cent is well respected only because he knows how to flow for club music, gangster music and have albums that are very nostalgic and soundtrack-worthy. But he's no #5. Eminem's Oscar doesn't make him the best (someone here stated), because it competed with whatever came out that "year" in "movies' soundtracks", not whatever came out every album of Hip Hop history, with and without being in a movie's soundtrack at that.
I hope people read this. It gets irritating when there's a top list, especially with Eminem at #1...
Marquis Miller I agree with about half of what you wrote, but the other half I disagree with.
Tupac is only considered a great rapper because he died. That's how fame works. During his time, he wasn't much more popular than any of the other scores of rappers and rap groups which were relevant, such as Wu Tang Clan, A Tribe Called Quest, OutKast, all members of NWA, Nas, and Public Enemy. I mean the only reason why Tupac was given the spotlight in the first place was because he was signed to Snoop's label and Snoop gave him the opportunity to go out and make a name for himself. If Snoop died instead of Tupac, you wouldn't see Tupac's name anywhere near a top 5 list. So Tupac is definitely the most influential rapper of all time, but he only had one or two good albums, and he isn't the best of all time. Nas is probably the holder of the GOAT title. Illmatic is a masterpiece, It Was Written follows closely behind Illmatic, and most of the rest of his discography is solid.
Biggie Smalls definitely talked a lot about hustling, but so did Tupac. And Biggie definitely made emotional and meaningful songs; just look at Suicidal Thoughts, Juicy, Notorious Thugs, and Everyday Struggle. But he just wasn't a guy who often put out emotional music, that doesn't mean his lyrics aren't flexible. And remember: Eminem came up only talking about being rowdy. Infinite was all about smacking up MCs, The Slim Shady LP was all about the Slim Shady character who is a menace to society, and MMLP featured Kill You, Drug Ballad, The Real Slim Shady, Remember Me, Bitch Please, Under The Influence, etc. And then his work with D12 solidifies his early years as talking about meaningless things with a couple of emotional songs every here and there.
50 Cent doesn't deserve to be anywhere near a top 50 list. He is just an act associated with Eminem who had a couple of radio-friendly songs. That doesn't mean he's at all important to the rap game. He's entirely disposable.
I also think we're getting close to a point in time where we'll be able to say Kanye West belongs on the list of top 5 hip hop artists of all time. People won't say this until after he retires, but his discography has been pretty much golden thus far. Eminem may be infinitely more popular than Kanye, especially radio-wise, but Kanye has been putting out much better material.
Jimmy Russels My top 5 doesn't contain Em, Pac or Biggie in it. Big fan of Pharoahe Monch, Big L, RA the Rugged Man, RZA/GZA/Inspectah Deck. But I do concur with most of what you're saying.
April 2022. 💕

@ about 5:29 em says "but in my head there's something i can feel tugging and struggling" and you can clearly hear mr. porter "heres what they want from me" xD then em says " angels fight with demons and heres what they want from me" and gives him a look like " no this is the part you say it at"

SHIT SHADY U FAST
4:23 ITS CRAZY!
does it feels so fast? cuz I can do that fast part, and when you learn it, it seems that it's not really fast
Yeah it's not as hard as it seems
SphenGaming Well, then try it in from of hundred people and suddenly will become the most difficult think :)

I'm not a fan of Eminem, but that track is pretty sick
welcome to the group stan
you're not an Eminem fan?
you don't know what you're missing
@@omerking747 I'm A Massive Fan Of Eminem
The three best rappers in the world: Eminem, Slim Shady, Marshall Mathers
#1 - JAY-Z
#2 - EMINEN
#3 - SNOOP
Chris Wilson Jay's last album though….Snoop's last couple and the name Snoop Lion? They not spittin like em is. Doggystyle is classic though.
Chris Wilson Jay over Slim? And Snoop and Jay over Pac and Biggie? Nas and E? Get the fuck outa here boy.
Then the saying of all the racism in that era especially after vanilla ice embarrass the white race, Eminem don't deserve top 4.snoop hall of fame. Jay Z. Has had the president of this free country to his house and still spitten
And if u had been listening I said top 3
go to 4:20 for best part
What a coincidence ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
coindance* XD
it's coincidence dude not coindance
don't be such a square and accept it as a joke ..... you dork
portal XDD
4:22 _____ coming at you... Em's hype man missed a line. Eminem even looked at him funny lol.
He turns his head away from the mic to inhale like TayZonday in Chocolate Rain so you don't hear his breathing :P
he didn't miss, they just cencored the word "lyrics" for no reason haha :D
karikeya singh lol "NIGGAS COMMIN AT YOU AT SUPERSONIC SPEED"
2nd BIGGEST boss EVER!!!! haha honestly before i looked up the lyrics that's what i thought it was lol
wtf, its so simple, its because he needs to breath before spitting that verse.. that's also why he had his friend from D12 there to help him out singing this song, its pretty hard to sing every word live
They blocked out the word "lyrics" ......... .... slow clap..........
No Eminem Was Trying To Catch His Breath
perfection
Bencede :)
2019 and still goosebumps... one of the best live Performance by EM ! RUclips should be Grateful..
His hype man on point. Coming in clutch on time when em needs a breath or is slurring.
Oxygen needs Eminem that's how I see physics
LMAO good shit.
Nitrogen needs Asap rocky that's how I see physics
HAHA! That's chemistry, my friend!
anyone who doesn't know mr porter/kon artis isn't a real em fan
That is like saying that if you are a fan of a football team but don't know everyone's name on the team you are not a true fan. You can like eminem's music and not know who d12 is.
Mr. Man ask any person who supports a football team and they will know every player if they are a true fan of the club.
Mr. Man Uh, yes, if you don't know everybody on your supposed favorite team, you aren't a true fan, you're a casual fan.
Mr. Man
You idiot... you just proved yourself wrong! If you don't know the players on your favorite football team then you ARENT a true fan lol
I can tell Marshall was losing his breathe @ 4:36. I think that is one out of many reason why Mr. Porter is there so he can fill in the grey space while Marshall catches his breathe.
That's the point of a hype man.
He is. Good
It's a different thing to stand still infront of a mic inside a studio and being on a lice concert where you can't twist your tongue and try again and where you have to move to entertain people so get tired much easier and you need a hypeman.
Is this the first time you watch an Eminem concert? He always has a hype man. It used to be big Proof but now it's Mr Porter. When you go out there and you are expected to spit like 200 bars without break, you need a hype man. Not only that, he also emphasizes strong punchlines and helps with entertaining the crowd. You should have seen Proof in the 2004 New York concert. It was like the concert was half his.
Giorgos Apoel Wasn't it 2005?
