@@battoosh book of ryhmes line "ghostrider" for me personally is best eminem verse in history! NO CAP
"Lone sniper, I hold a microphone like a loaded rifle
My dome's brighter, all I spit from my skull's fire
All that's missing's a motorcycle with the chrome wires, spoke tires
And y'all are flow biters, so I don't gotta
Explain why they call me your ghostwriter"
@@anatos1722No cap...because Marvel. I get it.
Rap god for "The Goddess" =)
One of the best lines in the song that either people don't catch or don't mention is. You're witnessing a mass occur (massacre) like you're watching a church gathering taking place
Daaamn, I didn’t know that one
for the number of times, I've heard this and watched it broken down, I still never caught that one! thanks
Literally to this day! One of my favorite lines of his. I don't know why it hits soooo much harder than all the other crazy shit he's came up with, it's just naaasttyy to me
Or rough time period, here's a maxipad..
Or how he says combine and then columbine comes back like a paragraph later
OMG bro
He is that guy in chemistry class that raps the whole periodic table
But skips oxygen
Locks n' Gin
So true
1 minute in and you're already "how does he do it that fast?"
Hehe, she wasn't ready guys...
So true, none of us were tbf
Honestly no matter how many bars are caught the emotion and enthusiasm is so intoxicating makes me re live my first time hearing the songs even tho I've heard them 100s of tomes
“for me to rap like a COMPUTER must be in my GENES (JEANS), i got a LAPTOP in my back POCKET.” Eminem man..
He got so many double meanings in this track! I can't catch all of them myself but if you are curious and want to know how much he put in this song I would recommend you looking at Stevie Knights reaction to this song. He knows so much about rap and he catches everything! Got me to appreciate Eminem even more 🔥
One of his best songs, for sure. And don't sweat catching the bars you're reactions alone are great🤘
Agreed! Keep up the good work.
Facts. And the fact it came way late in his career proves will never "lose it." Top 3-5 for sure.
Defo not even top 20 ngl
What HM did was insane to this beat. I hope she checks that out. Obviously HM is humbled but wow he's insane to do it freestyle off of reading chat.
@@w4976.it's In top 20 where did u get those? Google?
"For me to be a computer must be in my genes; I got a laptop in my back pocket"
That one always makes me chuckle.
genes/jeans
yeah exactly
I love the effort you out into, trying to, understand this. Love the reaction
Yea focus on the way your building your channel, dont let others try to guide you its YOUR channel and those of us that love what you do will stay and support you ❤
Eminem never disappoints❤ #GOAT
Not one other rapper can make a lyrical masterpiece like this and still hit the mainstream, NOT ONE.
People think Eminem is just rapping fast and not making sense because they don't understand the homages/references.
Eminem said he was the rap god and he didn't get one diss because of that... Who would dare after this demonstration of skill.
This unironically, his only haters are brain dead idiots who can't even conceive the level that he's performing on. He could not put out another record for thirty years and still be the GOAT even though his humble nature wouldn't let him admit it. He claims he's only top 4, but we all know the truth.
*Black Thought has entered the chat*
That was a line that you caught (even though you were wrong) he says *"if I can't batter women how am I supposed to bake them a cake"* is a double entendre. If I can't batter/"beat" women how am I supposed to make a cake. Because you have to "batter" the cake mix to make a cake
Hahaha oh man you are so fun in this reaction.. you are so many want to be this fast lol .. this made my night ..this is my first video of you I've seen
Finally! Been waiting for some of these emenim songs!
I'll never forget that when this album began being hyped and the first single was Berserk and I honestly felt disappointed and started worrying I wouldn't like the album.
But this was the next single released and I was estatic, and personally The Marshall Mathers LP 2 is my favorite album from Eminem.
I just love Em since his first album came out. He's so good to make so funny digression to serious subject he's pointing. He does have an exceptional talent to observe reality. And technically - oh dear - he's a rap god. :) Although lately I'm in a different kind of music, I hold Marshall in a special place in my heart.
Most INCREDIBLE rap song ever. One of the best ever.
I also want to mention that Eminem and other rappers often master a breathing technique often called, "circular breathing," where they produce sound on both the exhale _and_ inhale* (it's still air resonanting in your "voicebox," regardless of direction, right?). One major problem with mastering this skill is handling the C(02) (carbon dioxide, obviously) that would be emitted during your exhale (which you would then inhale again as you then immediately say something else).
Nice alliterations, btw :-)
The reactions are priceless. You are really vibing to the rap god.
The goat
Ahh how I loved this Kathryn you made of the God of Rap, your reaction, the face near the screen trying to follow and read the caption was sensational even. I loved this fucking Kathryn so much, it's beautiful 🖤💖🤣 🔥💯
Your mic was a bit low imo, but awesome reaction as always!
Welcome to the raw beautiful perfect talent that’s not “mainstream” So awesome!!
Eminem "We Made you" next to see the man roasting early-mid 2000's celebs like no other
To add to the list of songs you reacted that wouldn't fly today lol (and the video is quite funny)
beats solo go crazy while im listening to this WITH THE EXACT SAME HEADPHONES (same color too)
Watching people react to Em never gets old!
There's literally so much double (and triple) meaning in this track that you'll never catch it all without knowing 30+ years of Rap history, you're better off just watching a breakdown video with someone that truly knows what they're talking about because it'll blow your mind.
love em since day one. even have a demo song he made with a group called outsidaz
You should do "My Darling". It's kinda weird at first, like, with the beat, but it gets really deep lyrically. And it's like following a conversation, one of those you forget he's rapping
just love how you carry your emotions on your face! You dont really even need to say anything (obviously your welcome too)
Two songs that don't get really mention often but are a couple of favourites of mine - My Darling (more on the serious side) and Berzerk (just fun)
I swear no one talks about Berzerk, it was one of the first songs I heard from him and it's such a fun one
Every Eminem song has bars that have multiple meanings.
that product of rakim 2pac and nwa and run dmc is my fav part cuz Em has mad respect for them
Do not worry about catching the bars. You aren’t a bar breakdown channel. We enjoy your reactions ❤
Been trying to tell her it just comes with practice. YEARS of practice lol
@@mookiestewart3776 Exactly!!!
crazy in love - eminem
Scrolled a bit but didn't see any mention of this: 7:06 that was him re-writing one of the first full female rap groups J.J. Fad. Their song Supersonic ends with them doing that, it was their biggest hit. They are the 3 women dancing on tvs as he starts it.
They loved the shoutout & you can see their reactions on youtube.
Eminem is and will always be a Rap God
Check out TU 7:23 he nice💯
Every breath Em takes has a double meaning!
He has so many gold mines for bars through so many songs. I would love to suggest “unaccommodating”, “homicide” by Logic featuring Eminem , “lucky you” by Eminem and Joyner Lucas, the latter is a bit of an underrated piece of art, and by art, I mean Lucas and Eminem’s on their pinnacle bullshit! Loving your reactions!
Plus it holds the record for a song with most words
Would love to see your reaction to: Going Through Changes.
Song hits super hard over the loss of Proof, but mirrors much of what i went through through the loss of my best friend as well.
Hey Kathryn, I'd like to recommend
Lightning Crashes, Dolphins Cry - Live
Runaway Train - Soul Asylum
You've probably heard them but, I'm recommending them just because they have special meaning to me. Thanks. 50K coming up! ❤
If you haven't already I think youd like Eminem's "We made you"... the music video is absolutely nuts lol.
The sound levels on your reactions are great too. I hate when I can’t hear the song
lol, I was rooting for you with that bar
"I really want to be able to do that" - said Kathryn, and basically every other rapper out there.
When you were practicing tongue twisters at the end I was half expecting to hear "The human Torch was Denied a Bank loan"
Thank you thank you very much ❤
So over your head but it was fun watching you react. Its like people watching Jinjer Pices.
This song and music video was made on the spot and all in and on one go ❤😂🎉😢😮😅
deff his most bar filled song even in the intro bit where u said u didn’t think there were any.
I have a good idea u should do a re - reaction to this with Genius pulled up so you can read the lyrics and they explain the bars
That’s the Rap GOD!
everyone can wrighttho, just put your mind and will to it, i believe in you
+
We know you’re new and missing a lot (requires exp with at least knowing Em’s journey) but your reaction and your willingness to learn is great! Keep it up!
You’ve gotta listen to Headlights by Eminem!! Lots of meaning behind that one
“Pay homage pupil” …. God damn man 😂
9:48 You were actually correct (and it's actually an even _better_ double+-meaning because batter is what is used to make cake, not better (an adjective/adverb)). He was just referring to "hatred towards women," but the lyrics suggesting he wants to bake them a cake, a nice gesture, is a bit of a multi-meaning, as well; why would you bake a cake for someone you hate (unless you poisoned it or something, of course)?
EDIT: I added a few after the first reply to my comment from @leemac1774 is a "bar" that is maybe a little higher than "Eas(y | iest)-Intermediate," but is a different category of rhetorical device that shows another shade (no pun intended - Nice alliterations, btw, so I was going to do that but then figured it was silly...wait that starts with "s") of brilliance from Mr. Mathers'.
BTW I was going to type out a few simple examples in your "Godzilla" video that might help put you further on your "journey" (sorry to sound trite) to understanding how to pick up "bars"/double+-entendres in Mr. Mathers' art, but I accidently (my cursor all of a sudden "jumped" up to the close tab when I was clicking on what I was typing; yes I should've typed it in Notepad++ like I normally do first, I know) didn't submit it. I'll get around to it, as I think it will help you quite a bit. There were a few examples of, what I classified as, "Easy" and "Easiest-Intermediate" (because they required domain-specific knowledge and weren't completely straight-forward, but otherwise "easy" to pick up to someone who is capable of doing so or is looking for them.) I will get around to doing that again soon and I hope it helps.
EDIT: I came back and I figured I'd add a few from this (and a few other) song(s) to give you an idea of what I mean real quick (I type really fast and enjoy writing long-form...). And, yes, I did write this in Notepad++ first (har har). One preface: "Easy" to me doesn't mean easy in general; it's just a categorization because it can get really complex, of course. Please don't take offense if you don't get an "Easy" "bar". Also, please don't take offense (well, at all, please, because I sincerely am trying only to help) if I'm explaining something you already know (maybe something like "mansplaining" or whatever BS term that doesn't have to include an identity and thus further divides us as humans).
§ "Easy"
¶ This Song ("Rap God")
3:06 "How could I not blow? All I do is drop F-bombs."
- To "blow," if you didn't know, is to "blow up" in popularity/competence/action, but obviously when paired with the word "bomb" changes meaning (but he is referring to "blow" in the competence/action domain, I'm quite sure)
3:10 (right after) "Rappers are having a rough time, period. Here's a Maxi Pad."
- Obviously this is referring to the grammatical use of "period" to mean something like, " without any caveats," but also to menstruation.
* Many of lines are references to rappers (which are usually then immediately shown). For instance, the lyrics use Busta Rhymes, a famous rapper, known for rapping very fast. I'll reference him a bit later.
* The one I referenced earlier that you thought you missed, but actually didn't.
¶ Other Songs
"Killshot"
* "Playing dead: that's the only time you hold (still|steal)"
- To hold steal means to hold a gun, but the way he pronounces the regular phrase "hold still" makes it sound like it could be either. Also, what types of people (who don't have unfortunately physical disorders like Parkinsons :-/) have problems sitting still?
"Godzilla"
* "Better hit the deck like the card dealer."
- There's the meaning of a, say, blackjack dealer hitting the card deck, but also meanings about hitting the deck due to intoxication, among other meanings.
* "If you ever gave a damn, raise your hand. Because I'm about to set trip: vacation plans"
- To "set trip" in gang-banger vernacular is to go to another "set" in your gang and kill a member (usually as punishment). So he's saying he's going to "set-trip" on his "gang," the set of professional hip-hop artists, and punish them (using a violent metaphor).
* "These chicks are spazzin' out. I only get more *handsome* and _flyer_ . I got them passing out like what you do when you *hand some* one _fliers_ "
* "'Cause my lyrics never sit well, so they wanna give me the chair. Like a paraplegic [...]"
§ "Easy-Intermediate
* 1:54 "My pen will go off when I half-cock it."
- To half-cock a gun is to only raise it half way up, but also means "only partly ready; poorly prepared." So the lyrics are basically saying, at least for one "double meaning," that he's always ready, as his pen will "go off" when he merely "half-cock"s it
* 3:35 "[...] Everybody loves to root for a nuisance. ' Hit the Earth like an asteroid that did nothing but shoot for Moon (Pew) since I use it as a vehicle to Busta Rhymes. Now I lead a new school full of students."
- This should probably be classified at a higher level, but if an asteroid is aimed at the Moon but ends up hitting the Earth, it is a vehicle of nuisance to society (as society exists on the Earth). There's then a reference to Busta Rhymes (like I mentioned earlier) and then a mention of "school full of students," which relates to the astronomical references, but also has the face-value meaning of simply behing a "Rap God" and teaching younger generations of hip hop artists.
EDIT:
As @leemac1774 pointed out, Busta Rhymes was also a founding member of the hip-hop group "Leaders of the free school."
¶ Other Songs
* "Killshot"
- "You Satanist."
- Do you think the Rap Devil would be a Satanist, worshipping themselves? It sounds more like MGK has a Messianic/God Complex (and yes, Eminem has this very song, but he says "I'm beginning *to feel like* a Rap God," not claiming he is directly, although he mentions he has *the key* to rap immortality (but he doesn't say he is able to use it necessarily, and because "mortality" is obviously part of "immortality" (despite it being an antynomn), he is acknowledging mortality and thus you could say he is aware that he will not be able to use the key. Although, that's probably a stretch and there are other lines (including the title itself) that show something similar, but it's much more nuanced). Regardless, Rap Devil was after this (obviously - MGK is just doing a simple switch on the title, further adding to the "copycat" idea). Worshipping yourself could also be construed, although I would say it's a sibling category and not the same, as narcissism (e.g., to think he's the younger Eminem when he's really the "whack [him]"; I mean "[Em's] biggest flops are his greatest hits."). Eminem basically destroyed the entire diss track from MGK with a single word.
- "Say you'll run up on me like a phone bill, sprayin' lead"
- There's the meaning of a phone bill (which has (well not anymore but we still call it "lead") lead put on it, or at least ink, but still) and "running it up," but of course "spraying lead" also means shooting an automatic gun.
- "The game's mine again and ain't nothin' changed but the locks. So before I slay this b*tch, mwah, give Jade a kiss"
- This should probably be a bit higher up, but I'll include it because it's in the same category as @{Lee Mac}'s contribution to my never-to--be-published-by-any-respectable-institution novel here. Jadakiss is a rapper that was once in the hip-hop group called, "The Lox," and also, much like Jay-Z has "jigga" and Eminem has "chicka," used "muah" often. But then The Lox and "Ruff Ryders" (the _de facto_ leader being DMX) "merged" (from the Wikipedia on "Ruff Ryders Entertainment": "Ruff Ryders began as the managers of DMX and The LOX.").
But, Eminem spelled it "locks," referring to his hair (he no longer is bleaching it), and references Jadakiss, obviously, with "Nothing's changed but the [locks | Lox] so before I begin this [....] _Muah_ give Jade a kiss." BTW, Jade is Mr. Mathers' daughter Hailie's middle name.
* "Godzilla"
- "My whole squad's in here, walkin' around the party. A cross between a zombie apocalypse and B-Bobby, "The Brain" Heenan which is probably the same reason I *wrestle* with _mania_ ."
- B-Bobby, "The Brain" Heenan was in a few of those theater-wrestling (e.g. WWE) and paticipated in Wrestlemania.
Part 1 of 2 due to character limits and inspiration/contribution from @leemac1774's comment.
Busta was also a founding member of the group Leaders of the new school 👍
That’s A lot
@@leemac1774 Nice addition to the list that fits (I couldn't include everything because of character limits and, of course, I'm not a Masters of Science in barology (but I'm also not merely a "oh I get it now" either ;-)). I will add it (with credit) and also the Jadakiss "Muah" from Killshot, because I think those are a good category of rhetorical devices (not quite double-meanings maybe but still) requiring domain specific knowledge that Eminem cleverly uses as if they weren't references.
@@blexible4894 Yes it is. I hope that was complimentary and not saying I was way too verbose (which I tend to be*, although I did say I like long-form writing and type really fast ("fast" is qualitative, so I'll just say I was typing 200 wpm in middle school)). I also only included a small proper subset of what I could've (both bars and meaning), even for "Easy" or "Intermediate" or beyond. If you could let me know which one, I'd appreciate it, as I don't want to be annoying people.
Ugh character limits. Users don't have to expand comments, you know, RUclips? You need some software/database systems/UX consultation?
Came for em .. stayed for kathryn 😂😂
for me, one of the best eminem songs is deja vu
Heyy hope I’m not bothering I know I requested it before but I think you would enjoy reacting to Alfred’s theme. The doubles and word play on the song makes it one of my favorites.
I thought you might would capture the double meaning of "To rap like a computer must be in my jeans/genes. I got a laptop in my back pocket."
I love this song because is so full of references and shoutouts while telling his story essentially. It annoyed me for the longest time that so many people thought he was spouting gibberish with the suuma duuma part. You should bring your husband into your reactions, he sounds like an eminem fan and no offence but its clear quite a lot of stuff goes over your head. (not an insult btw his lyrics are packed full of references and things from the past). It would be interesting to see the dynamic of someone who knows the tracks inside out and someone new and he can point out stuff you miss which will make you appreciate it more.
I think some reactors need to listen to Supersonic after reacting to this.
Alfreds theme - Eminem. Has bars on bars 🔥
Should definitely react to Eminem-Darkness
And it's all a freestyle after all. 🤣
You gotta do more old school em. “White america”, “drug ballad”, “criminal”, “amityville “, “under the influence “, “forgot about Dre “ etc etc. I’m telling you that you have only just begun diving into the rabbit hole
Another great Lyricist and story teller is Nas. Pretty much everyone starts with NY State of Mind and I Gave You Power. Nas and Em have a song together and Em goes pretty crazy on it, EMPD 2.
You missed the laptop in my back pocket line. Ie a computer must be in his jeans (genes) hehe
Awesome
Eminem is the goat🐐🔥
My favorite bar is "You're pointless as Rapunzel with cornrows." 😂
Please consider having the lyrics up as well as the video when doing Em reactions. It will help catching more bars, I'm listening to him for 20 years and still catch new stuff using the lyrics. Nice reactions 👍🇮🇪
Still lit
50k sub special: kathryn raps rap god by eminem 😎
Lol, I had to hear this track a dozen times before I caught all the bars and I'm not even sure i understood half of them. He took so many shots at so many people.
The reaction to the song Rossy Snap, whose title is rap God, is also the same, he uses Eminem's beat
My favorite entendre is Genes(rap like a CPU must be in my genes) and Jeans(laptop in my back pocket)
I never get tired of hearing that. Aaaaaaaaand
The frikken next 2-3 bars after that, its almost eargasmic‼️🤣🤣🤣🤣
My pen'll go off when I halfcock it
Got a fat knot from that rap profit
Made a livin and a Killin off it
Ever since Bill Clinton was still in office
With Monica Lewinsky feelin on his NUTSACK(batman voice)
😂😂😂😂
EARGASM THRU THE WHOLE FIRST VERSE😂
eminem alfreds theme song, if you look for a song with alot of funny and crazy lyrics and with the videoclip its easy to keep on to it
It is said if you dedicate 17 minutes a day for a full year that gives you a total of 100 hours of that thing you are practicing, that would afford you the opportunity to be better than up to 95% of the world in that one thing. If you want to do it, go get it!!!
This is false. Limit faults. Gimmick? Naw. Intricate thoughts. Give it all. Quit it? Dawg. Been this awful (awe full) for the long haul.
🎉
w reaction, honestly i'd suggest the song "Forever" it has one of the best lineup of artists in hip hop history. (Drake, Kanye West, Lil Wayne, and Eminem)
Just for context, if you didn’t know, the beginning part where he is quoting “I was gonna go easy on you not to hurt your feelings… but if he’s as bananas as you say, we’re in trouble, big trouble.” Is actually based on something that happened on November 22nd, 1987. The background, clothing, and sunglasses Eminem is wearing is what the assailant was wearing during the broadcast interruption. Someone wearing a Max Headroom mask (a fictional British tv character), hacked two Chicago, Illinois TV stations during a live broadcast… I believe it was a Chicago Bears football game. The very beginning lyrics are what was said during one of the hacks that took place. The anonymous person that hacked the station, has never been caught.
❤❤❤
Fucking awesome🔥🔥🔥🔥
You are truly enticing
Harry Mack did a thing and he is obviously humbled. Amazing Basically. You might appreciate that one considering the circumstances.
2:25 "i don't know if i'm missing it" oh ya, you missed a good few already haha.
Wait, did you just do the "Weird Arby's Guy" "I dunno!" thing?!
If you want to be able to rap like that you need to print out lyric sheets and then go through the song bit by bit until you learn it all the way through . It works trust me. Then you gotta do it with other speed rappers as well, techn9ne is another good one to get into to learn those complex rhyme schemes. In fact you should just start reacting to tech n9ne in general on this channel lol dudes first 4 albums are goated
Beautiful should be next
You should consider doing a reaction to Harry Mack i feel you will love him and its easy to catch his bars. Any of his videos of his are great but my favourite is Omegle Bars 52 as for me it shows of the many different talents he has when rapping
Listen too JJ Fads Supersonic ‘Em mentions them obviously in the song, but it is a good song and a group of great rappers
Reading the lyrics of fast rap will trip u up, just listen and u will hear
Please , look at me now “ Chris brown ❤❤❤
have fun.
GOOd morning😂
Eminem to me is perfectly understandable, even when he's going super fast. He goes even faster on Godzilla and I caught every single bar, and typically, other fast rappers just sound garbled to me, the ones I've heard. That's just one reason why Eminem is the unquestioned GOAT in my opinion. His flow, lyricism, uses of double and triple meanings, clarity, etc, out of this world. He's in a different league to everyone else imo.
Yep most of them are just mumble rappers, Em can't stand them either. I don't catch every bar, but I catch alot of them
🔥🔥🔥🔥
You were right girl. "If i cant batter the women, how am i supposed to bake em a cake then". Batter like cake batter. You were soooo close.
