    Gonna post this here for any further comments: no this was not my normal 30-40 minute full breakdown. This was a bonus request for a Patreon fan and I wanted to try something a little shorter while mixing in elements of breakdown and picking out more specific parts to discuss. I’ve been told to rest my voice for the next few days so decided to still give you guys content and share something that is normally exclusively on Patreon. Hope you guys still enjoy it 🙌

    knox, i'm actually surprised you didn't get this! but i don't blame you , Eminem is wild. So, when he says " I'm the the kind of guy that's mild but might flip and get a little bit wilder", it's referring to how when you flip "m" it becomes a "w". so " mild " becomes " Wild" , you get what i mean? it took me a few listens to get that, but you're doing great my brother! all my love homie

    I always "defended" the hate towards the lyrics by basically saying that this is a form of art, think of it this way, if this was a script for a horror movie, it would be praised for how crazy it went.. This is a form of writing, but the ability shown here that blew my mind is sticking to sound throughout the the verses, every verse matches almost entirely line by line, that's brilliant writing skills right there.

Some older examples are Saw, and Devils Rejects....theres so many and people rarely try to cancel these writers. Also I'm not hating on any of these shows or movies just making an example. I judge on real life actions not fictitious story or song writing.

    • @Johnnylowfive
      @Johnnylowfive 2 года назад +3

      💯 THANK YOU!! This isn’t Marshall Mathers. It’s “shady” or “em” or whatever he calls his alter ego. Exactly as someone earlier commented. This is a fictional story. I don’t get why he gets so much hate for these “evil” songs when it’s clearly just fiction. Nobody ripped Biggie Smalls when this happened:
      “When I get dusted, I like to spread the blood like mustard
      Trust it, my hardcore rain leaves you rusted
      Move over Lucifer, I'm more ruthless, huh
      Leave your toothless, you'll kibbitz, I'll flip it
      Tears don't affect me, I hit 'em with the TEC
      G's disrespect me, my potency is deadly
      I'm shootin' babies, no ifs ands or maybes
      Hit mummy in the tummy if the hooker plays a dummy
      Slit the wrist of little sis
      After she sucked the dick, I stabbed her brother with the icepick
      Because he wanted me to fuck him from the back
      But Smalls don't get down like that
      Found your father hidin' in a room, fucked him with the broom
      Slit him down the back and threw salt in the wound”
      That’s lyrically amazing and horrendously gross and offensive and in those days it wasn’t meant to be clearly fictional. It was part of the mythos of rap that they were slanging drugs and killing gangsters and objectifying and abusing women. Jigga, Mobb Deep, Wu tang, Immortal Technique and Big pun all did this and never got shit from hip hop fans. Yes old kinda racist white people complained about the lyrics, same as they did with Rock and roll, Marilyn Manson and video games and blamed the country’s problems on these things because it’s easy to blame something you don’t get. But real hip hop fans seem to have a sub group who’s only job is checking that Em never writes a line that doesn’t match up factually with his life. “They say I can’t rap about being broke no more, they didn’t say I couldn’t rap about come no more”. That was his second album I believe and already he was being told he had to stop rapping about hard times. We have a billionaire rapper who still talks about the struggles of the street and growing up in Brooklyn. I’m just gonna say it, this is a race issue. Even though rap is about truth and storytelling and then all the skills and delivery, flow, rhyming, puns, doubles and triples I can’t think of another rapper under that kind of scrutiny. Just as I enjoy a great horror movie or a
      Comedy I enjoy when Em lets Shady take the pen and sometimes I want to listen to some funny rap, lil dicky,
      Flynt Flossy, lonely island. They all have real talent and could maybe be mainstream if they pretended to be street or have cred. But they are real MCs and could all write more serious bars and maybe get bigger but they are true to themselves and that’s why they are real rappers. My only rule if you wanna be a rapper is don’t pretend, don’t rap about things you didn’t experience or even worse make a fake backstory about how “hard” they are.

    He wasn't on drugs during relapse he was flushing them out, said he had to relearn to rap again so this was him playing around with the rhymes, and said the accents helped him bend words to fit the rhymes. Relapse is highly underrated, different, but still fire. You should do "must be the ganja" next.

  • @Dezzyyx
    @Dezzyyx 2 года назад +50

    Fun facts: He used the accents as a way to come around his struggle to write the same after his addiction, it made it easier for him to come up with words and rhymes, and this already started around Encore which you can hear in that album as well. It's like a freestyle-flow.
    The whole concept of this album is also a metaphor for his own demons, a way to process his darkness (addiction) through Shady and move on to Recovery.

    For me, I liked every song I heard from Relapse. I even replayed this one and replayed it a couple of times and even rapped along. But of course, everyone has different ears for hearing music. If you will react to more songs from Relapse, I personally recommend Underground and Bagpipes from Baghdad (he disses Mariah and Nick) and Underground is insane with the rhymes, flows and everything. Thank you for reacting to this for me underrated and great song.

    • @Johnnylowfive
      @Johnnylowfive 2 года назад +2

      It’s definitely one of my lower ranked Eminem albums but this song and a couple others are classic Eminem and if the accent bothers you that bad, not you OP the people who bash it, then I imagine you must not have many rappers you like. I’ll take an accent over poorly enunciated words that don’t even rhyme well or have good flow. He also has at least one single on each album that is clearly meant to get airplay. That’s also true of almost all rappers, they do need to get paid if they want to continue making music. Sadly racism may be almost gone as far as true racism, but subtle racist ideas are still prevalent throughout our culture. I’m not being oblivious to the atrocities that occur all over the world due to race, religion, gender or sexual identity but I believe the overwhelming majority of the United States, and most of the developed world is made up of people who don’t actually believe that race,religion, etc. actually makes a group of people better or worse than another.

    “Stay Wide Awake” is off of Relapse, back in 2009, when he was just coming out of many years away, when he almost died from addiction to pills. He said he had writers block for a couple of years and just couldn’t rhyme anymore. It took him a long time to be able to write when sober. Relapse was him going WACKO, and while there are times when you can tell he’s not at full capacity yet - “Stay Wide Awake” shows what he can do, even when he’s coming out of a fog.
    The second verse of “Stay Wide Awake” is so crazy and what’s funny is the lyrics are so fucked up but nobody cares because they’re too busy counting the rhymes and pointing out schemes. Now in the other two verses, there’s a loose A-A-A B-B-B and etc. format, each separate thought ending with the same sound and this gives it a very creepy chant-y vibe. But the second verse is different and radically so. First of all, every single line ends with an “ee” sound, an identical rhyme sustained throughout - which makes it sound terrifying. Like you’re trapped with some wild animal. Or like it’s the sound of your own screams, if you were the victim, and the rapist/killer is mocking you. Sorry, I know it’s gnarly, just telling you what I hear.
    beyond his horrorcore imagination unleashed - is Eminem coming out of an anguished period of writers’ block, sober for the first time since he was a teenager, scared, under pressure and challenging himself to hear the rhymes again, to hear more rhymes, to discover more sounds, to break down words into tinier parts and rhyme those parts, to find more patterns, because you can bet that he, too, saw those vertical shapes, the rhymes stacked up on top of each other, making beautiful symmetrical columns of words. He was finding his way back and also forward.

    This song is just drenched with genius. The word play, the rhyme scheme, the flow, the literal word play with wild and mild, the beat with the heartbeat, and to top it off the story with the perspective of a killer. As a criminologist understanding the psyche of some of the people he mentioned in the song is what I do. Not only does he have the graphic ways people get murdered but he does an excellent job at playing the part. How he struggles with himself to not kill but can't help himself is exactly what happens to a lot of the notorious serial killers. It's a secret they can't tell anybody because they enjoy doing evil things. Eminem further exposes his genius by his understanding of human psychology blended into his art. He's obviously a fan of learning about serial killers and how and why they do the things they do. This is why I'm astonished when anyone says he peeked at Marshall Mathers LP or that he's not even in the top 10 of best rappers of all time. This song alone with the amount of skill and creativity trounces 90% of rapper resumes imo and this isn't even his in his top 5 ever made. Rap God title is deserved because he earned it with his hard work and sacrifice. But I guess I'm a STAN for saying this and not because I appreciate genius when I see it, so just disregard everything I said.

    This is one of my favourite Eminem songs if not my favourite. It really hits home when you are in a dark place yourself, because to me this song is about the dark side that every human has, but so many people seem to be not aware of. Carl Gustav Jung invented a concept called the ''shadow'' that every person has. One of the things he would do with his patients is making them aware of that shadow and coming to terms with it, because when you are not aware of it and it comes out of you without any control you can cause much harm to other people and yourself.
    Also the rhyme schemes and cadences are incredible.

    One of the best flow tracks em ever did. I love the. accents. These morons complaining about this album robbed us from a new genre of horricore rap. This is Detroit rap mixed with horror. Casual listeners didn't appreciate it.

I love the breakdowns to your reactions, and I love the fact that you catch most lines from Eminem that most don't. You also solidify your opinions that suit well with your audience. The vibe of the channel and your humor is top notch. Keep it up bro.

    Glad you did this. Enjoy your intelligence of worldly knowledge and music knowledge. It makes your reactions so amazing.
    Although this is so extremely dark by Em, it is a music masterpiece in my opinion. He did so much musically. He combined the art of music, wordsmith, and folk stories combined into one song. It's actually amazing if you think about what it takes to put all of these types of things together into a rhyme. The intelligence that it actually takes and to come out to be a banging song is amazing. Even as dark as it is.

  • @jake3920
    @jake3920 2 года назад +8

    I loved how you point out how although the lyrics are messed, there’s a reason for it, coupled with em’s amazing lyricism and rhyme schemes it’s a sick rap, perfect for letting out a bit of anger and for when you’re in those “darker” times of life

    My first Em song was Not Afraid(I was born in 2005) and up until like two years ago, I always got confused when Em came to the line "Perhaps I ran them accents into the ground", but I finally found out what he meant when I did my first actual listen to relapse. So, yeah, you're talking about Not Afraid, the song that introduced me to hip-hop.

    Brenda is definitely a shout out to Pac. The "sit down beside her like a spider" is a shout out to the original Psycho movie.
    My favorite lines are the "Fe Fi Fo Fum, I smell the scent of a placenta" and the very last line of verse 3 "what was that, dial 911, someone's coming in from the back."
    The color coded video for this shows how many internal rhymes he has during most of verse 2! Amazing writing! Despite the horror core rap subject matter, this is one of the most technically on point verses!

    some Crazy thoughts me and my friend had listening to Stay Wide Awake:
    Song has 3 verses and Each verse describes a horror scene like a movie... A Killer becomes a "serial" after 3 kills (1st verse/scene he kills Brenda from Tupac on the park, 2nd Verse/scene the Lady in her Bed , 3rd verse the Person who goes to the basement bc of a noise classic thriller victim) also He mentions 3 Serial Killers on the song (Jason/ Ted Bundy /Son fo Sam )
    IFY: i really like the Chorus tho bc is a cool double / and i think you gonna love some songs is Relapse (Deja Vu/My Darling/Underground/Careful What You Wish For.)
