Pretty sure the one song on the album is talking about Nick and Suge coming at Em to take him down for the Gov...just like Iran, Bin Laden, Saddam, etc. Put a few bucks in Nick’s pocket and I’m sure he’ll make a diss track trying to paint Em as a racist and get him “canceled”/silenced. Just sayin
@@oddman1631 I mean it also was about putting on a good performance and his feelings during the time when he was addicted to drugs/was in a dark place. He compared himself to a mass shooter and showed the similarities between a regular person going through things, and a guy who snapped out of nowhere. He basically showed the thin line between someone with bad mental health and someone who snaps.
@@Cripplified ^^^This. The first two verses in particular serve as a metaphor for his anxiety and depression and not just with performing. So really you could say this song/video has three different layers to it. These are the things that a lot of people won't understand and just blast him as anti-gun and anti-2A, blah blah blah. It's unfortunate.
“I got ammo for all the hecklers”. Love the word play on this. From Ems perspective he’s got bars for all his hecklers BUT from the shooters perspective, Heckler and Koch is a gun manufacturer.
There are many great story tellers unfortunately most are not in the mainstream sadly. swim-n-wessun, dead prez, immortal technique, ra rugged man, talib kweli, gift of gab, slug, evidence and I can go on for days.
This is Eminem’s best album in a decade! It’s like a mix between Relapse and Recovery and the beats on this album are insane. Eminem should win a Grammy with this one.
On mental health, I think we need to stop the stigma attached to those who get counseling or help. People go to the gym to get physically fit, why do we stereotype those who may go to a “mental coach” or psychologist for their mental health? As a male it’s seen as a weakness when in reality we should be proud of the positive steps we take to maintain our mental clarity. Conversation inspired by a video that is criticized... go figure... some people are so close minded
Totally agree with what you said. Also though, other countries have the same challenges around masculinity & mental health and they do not have the mass shooting - because access to guns is much more difficult.
@@FlyingFish747 I can agree - It's crazy that some of the people offended by Em's song don't see that it's raising real awareness through a different platform. He shows how someone gets to that point of breaking and he told the story - then challenges us to interpret the causes and find the solutions - it's artistic genius to bring exposure to the root of the problem - It doesn't glorify the shooter at all in my opinion.
Dead ass. If yo lawn messed up, you call someone, if yo car ain't running right, you call someone. If yo mind ain't right, please call someone. Help is help. I wish I could help.
I wish there wasn’t stigma around it or I would be going to a therapist. Any time I try to open up to my friend to him something’s wrong he laughs it off and calls me a sped lmao
I haven’t seen anyone comment on the bars: “feels like I’m loathing in Las Vegas, haven’t got the VAGUEST (vegas) why I’m so LOST (las) flippin the word play y’all!!
You missed that loathing is a reference to fear and loathing in Las Vegas a movie about doing drugs in Vegas. Also potentially vaguest was a triple entendre with vagus nerve ( Visceral feelings and gut instincts are literally emotional intuitions transferred up to your brain via the vagus nerve. In previous studies, signals from the vagus nerve traveling from the gut to the brain have been linked to modulating mood and distinctive types of fear and anxiety. www.psychologytoday.com/au/blog/the-athletes-way/201405/how-does-the-vagus-nerve-convey-gut-instincts-the-brain)
It gets deeper “I Don’t want to be alone in the darkness” shooter point of view he don’t want to be alone so he going kill as many people as possible and take them with him. Eminem point he feel like hip hop is loss and he wants to bring many listeners to see it fro his point of view... Symbolic “Music To Be Murdered By”. WOW guys thanks for the love stay real #longlivehiphop
Also just a theory, I could be reaching but this is Eminem, you never know how deep it goes. At the end you see him go out onto the stage, into the lights. The darkness could be referring to off the stage, behind closed doors so to speak. He doesn't want to be alone anymore once all of the lights go off. For the shooter his "light" was being on TV, being infamous, being spoken about and having people know he exists. Like I say, a reach.
Man I don’t know where to begin. Honestly big EM fan politics aside. But the double entendres I felt were shallow for a political point. Lots of facts were wrong in this song especially if you talk to Vegas residents as myself. If it was to bring awareness to gun violence it would of included other cities which I won’t bring up but your aware of. This was just a 2nd amendment hit job. Godzilla was fire tho and shag dats tuff. Keep up the good job.
I love how his saying if you do nothing then yall gonna be too scared to gather for my show, and how his letting us know that when he sees a lite crowd he blames himsrlf, when he takes a step back he realises that people dont want to gather in groups anymore.
Eminem brought me inside this shooters mind and made me feel like I was there. This was crazy powerful and how he talked about his life at the same time this man is a genius.
GENIUS. This is a perfect song. The entire song is a double entendre. How he is literally telling 2 stories at the same time, is GENIUS. The extremities from one topic to the other, yet combines the two so seamlessly is ..... GENIUS a Top 10 Eminem song
I love it when Shaq becomes speechless. Its like feeling like having good friends. I dont have many friends but I dont have a single friend who appreciates Eminem and Music as much as I would so I never have someone to talk to so Shaq Is like ike that friend who understands you and doesnt judge you.
I had a friend for many years who was so into Eminem, and music being one of our shared loves, he tried for years to get me to really listen to his music. But I was a lot younger and too closed off and honestly, too stupid to give him a true listen. I say stupid because my main reasons were that there was just too much controversy and I felt like I had enough shit going on in my life, I didn’t want to think about or deal with the bigger controversies. When my friend died (drunk driver hit the car he was in), I sat down with my grief and finally played every Eminem song I could find. It was one thing I felt like I still owed him and it was something about him I wanted to understand better. I regret that it took me so long to really listen to Eminem, because the man is a lyrical genius, but I regret more the missed conversations my friend and I could have shared about this music that was so important to him. I enjoy Eminem for his own sake, but also because every time I listen to him, it makes me feel closer to my friend, like he’s not completely gone. My friend didn’t have a lot of friends, but the ones he did have he genuinely cared about and I believe, visa versa. Maybe one day your friends will come around to Eminem, or maybe not, we all have different tastes (but still, tastes can change). Here’s hoping that one day one of them will and you will have someone you can share the music with. But if not, you still have the music and how it speaks to you and makes you feel, and that’s not a little thing.
Eminem did say everyone thinks his albums suck when they drop, give it ten years and it’s legendary. Honestly I don’t know an album I don’t like and ever thought was bad
Derek La buddy not everyone can catch that little ad lib man 😂 not a big deal bro lol he literally whispers it not everyone is gonna catch everything it’s fucking Eminem like tf😂
Ever so often he remembers everyone listening is still 12 steps behind, so he throws us a bone to keep us admiring him at the level we should, lol. He did it throughout all of Kamikaze
Yup but I know it very well I just don't put my attention on the whispers . It comes and I ignore it .I just give my attention to hard phases or other bars. .
I fuckin love this comment... cuz what you said is so rare to hear nowadays .. to disagree but have respect. Its so small yet people want to fight over matter of opinion. I loved this
And he agreed that things will change when enough people care. That could mean a number of different ways things could change, but whichever change it is, it won’t happen until enough people care ✌🏼
Yes, I agree. The issue is that when people start disagreeing they tend to immediately think the other person won't let them say their point of view. Which is also due to how people are raised/been through.. Unlike Shaq i do believe changing laws will do something.. I do also do understand what he means when he says " they'll get their hands on guns" I think where it'll help is with the type of guns/ammo amount someone can buy and also more extensive checks.. that's how i see it tho. Many will have different opinions which is fine, just have to talk about it. I think that's also the point of this video.. since i have seen more people talking about it online and even with friends after they seen the video.
Fr, I dont live in the US but wont lessening the amount of people who can get guns just cause perpetrators to get guns illegally and prevent people who get guns legally from defending themselves? Surely if you’re going to carry out an attack it matters less to you that the gun is legal compared to someone who just wants one to protect themselves and there family?
So basically in Em's prespective,he using mouthwash before going to show In Shooter's prespective, reaching SCOPE forthe shooting act. Never knew its so complex at all. Thanks
"Double entendre" this whole song. I don't think people get he's talking about himself but also talking about the shooting.. That you can make something better of yourself rather than ending it in darkness.
The song doesn't make it as obvious. But you would definitely think the video, especially the pills and vodka would have been obvious that he's talking about his career too
Qwoah just haters or those that are overly sensitive. Em is shining a light on something no one else really has the balls to shine a light on. Tying it in to his career just shows his genius!
Jonez Please tell me about the songwriter list on this song. Who wrote it? Idiot. How can you identify in the song with the curtain call curtains reference “That’s how you know he’s schizo.” Later stating “There’s no sign of Mental Illness.” You’re right he’s bending words, to make the lyrics incoherent and stupid. You don’t catch that. Too busy with your tongue and nose up his butt.
@@crafty1096 wow who got you so angry.maybe ur Clarence and Clarence lives with both parents and they have a very good marriage. U went to Cranbrook? Thats a private school.lol real fans know these rhymes😄😄🤣
“I bet you I’d be in tommorow a paper. Who would the odds favor”. He talks about how the media draws attention to these shooters giving them publicity and attention, while in reality they shouldn’t.
*"I got ammo for all the hecklers"* DAMN!! What a great double entendre. 1) He got bars to spit at the hecklers in the audience. 2) He got bullets for all his "Heckler & Koch" guns. Em's the GOAT!!
Podtrash Radio another double entendre. Em going on stage in front of the fans/the glorification of the shooter(s) based on the TVs at the end. This song is just wild.
This song is an absolute masterpiece. I am from Las Vegas born and raised, this really hits home. I lost 2 close friends and a family member at this concert. I've been waiting for your reaction to this like a hawk lol. Thanks Shaq. RIP to all that lost their lives at this concert
Honestly don’t believe you. This is the internet and people lying for clicks is the norm. I’d rather be the guy questioning a potential lie than the person hitting like on the liars comment.
1/23/20 From Em about criticism "Gentle listener, "In today's wonderful world, murder has become so commonplace that we are a society obsessed and fascinated by it. I thought why not make a sport of it, and murder over beats? So before you jump the gun, please allow me to explain. "This album was not made for the squeamish. If you are easily offended or unnerved at the screams of bloody murder, this may not be the collection for you. Certain selections have been designed to shock the conscience, which may cause positive action. Unfortunately, darkness has truly fallen upon us. "So you see, murder in this instance isn't always literal, nor pleasant. These bars are only meant for the sharpest knives in the drawer. For the victims of this album, may you rest peacefully. For the rest of you, please listen more closely next time. Goodnight! "With deepest sympathy, Eminem."
Oh your one of those guys. A pussy. So scared you need to be armed to the teeth,so scared you need walls. And you fuckers have the balls to call people snowflakes. Stop being so scared of everything and grow a pair. Little bitches
I love how you talk up for Em when so many hate on him constantly. He's trying to get what his messages are across but so many ppl hate on him they don't even give him a chance...
His Social Justice Warrior message Well I guess that's better then his Promoting an entire generation to opiates for ten year Better then being a homophobe for 15 yrs
Eminem: Breathes Shaq: That's why this man's a genius! Me: Dats Tuff!! ... All jokes aside This album is a truly good, and this song is the cherry on top. Thanks for reaction, shaq!
“I’m ready for rapid fire spitting, for all the concert goers” totally went over my head and I’ve heard this song so many times... Like he’s ready to spit bars for all his fans, but at the same time fire off rounds at the crowd
I agree about the quadruple meanings in his work. His mind is fascinating! He reads the dictionary, literaturary novels, pop culture items and the regular news that sometimes I think I'm missing about half of what he's saying.
This actually effected a lot of people's lives, people I know were there, I work in the music industry and it has made an impact, I respect this a lot.
The line "If you'd to know the reason why I did this, you'll never find a motive.", and "By the time it's over, it won't make the slightest difference." hits real hard. Your next door neighbor could become the type of person this song's made about.
Eminem says in one of his songs - "everybody just feels like they can relate I guess words are a motherfucker, they can be great or they can degrade, or even worse, they can teach hate, It's like these kids hang on every single statement we make" --- "See what these kids do, is hear about us totin' pistols and they want to get one, 'cus they think the shit's cool, not knowin' we're really just protectin' ourselves, we entertainers" That last scene where Eminem looks at all the TVs, I got the feeling he feels some responsibility for some of this. Eminem is the symbol for freedom of speech, always has been and forever will be. Despite his aggressive reputation I believe he has a good heart that the world doesn't always gets to see
I love his tracks with double meanings! Totally amazing! Like never love again, love this song, you can interpret it as him talking about a past lover then you realise he is talking about his battle with drugs and alcohol. That song hits you deep for real.
@@slim8617 Never Love Again has the most insane twist ever. Through the entire song he makes you feel like he's talking about a girl but as it turns out it's actually drugs.
Guys, it makes total sense...he went all out on MGK on killshot, and he didn't necessarily destroy Nick on Fat Joe song, and only mentioned Nick a few times...so "barely (k)nicked em" makes perfectly sense
I love this album. This is genius. I’ve heard every single Eminem track on every album and every other track that has ever been released or leaked. This is possibly the most brilliant and powerful track he has ever dropped.
"I can't even explain it the way i want to explain it" That makes Eminem a rapping GENIUS!!!! The only man in this world who can do this!!!! 🙌🐐.. Thankyou God for EMINEM!!! #RapGod#VocabGod#LyricalGenius
"Alcohol on my breath as I reach for the scope" - Reaches for the gun scope instead of the green bottle of scope mouthwash. "Now it's just magazines sprawled out on the floor" - You can see the gun magazines mixed in with reading magazines. Em is a fucking genius!!
The duality of this music video gives me chills. I've had people I've shown this too completely miss one side of the song, either I have to tell them or they find out at the end. He doesn't compromise the message once through the entire thing. Absolutely beautiful.
He's beyond back man,he's the greatest rapper to ever exist if you don't have the passion for the music like em does you shouldn't be rapping or singing.
@@austinelkins3456 so you are saying he's not back cause he's 5 years away from falling off again. So you are pretty much really saying he's back and for another 5 years at the least. That sound fuckin amazing...but he's not gonna fall off again...he's staying on till death does he part.
THE REAL REASON EMINEM KEEPS ON LOOKING DIFFERENT! "he is supposed to be dead, and a permanent clone that needs a new replacement body every 6 months to a year. Unknown if it is even his original consciousness running the clone. Could be a Vrill, could be a dead consciousness recorded on chip. It's why he was slurring his speech and acting mentally handicapped in a few of his interviews, His clone brain was degrading and he needed to get a replacement. They go to specific hospitals, like one near camp David somewhere to get the replacements, they grow multiples and choose the most similar looking one." - Donald Marshall [Websites in which you can read this info] -DONALD MARSHALL PROBOARDS -ASTRAL7 BLOGSITE (Website might be slow but its all worth it) Spread Donald Marshall's Info and name DON'T EVER THINK THAT WHAT GOES BEYOND YOUR IMAGINATION, CAN'T BE A REALITY!
It’s crazy to me to see that such a famous artist could have the same thoughts as a sadistic mass shooter and it all mean different things, yet equal depression and vices.
Well without the unnecessary offensive language used by "KennyM", it's in our biological nature to experience extreme human emotions. Some famous people handle fame differently than others. A thorough multivariate analysis is needed to explain why human biology differs from people to people. But O disagree with the foul language used by the former TH-cam account subscriber.
Jag City If you need to tell your audience it’s a double entendre your audience is really small brains. Honestly. That’s embarrassing to have to say it.
@@Moneyman-33 I see you on many comments here talking shit bout this and it seems cause you're a trump supporter. He laughs after he quietly says "double entendre" cause it was obvious that what he said was meant that way. Also, this song isnt for the fan base. This song has people every where fan or not, rap listeners or not, putting their eyes on it. So pointing it out for them, in a song about needing to make a change, yes they are small brained.
Pretty sure he threw that in because it kinda rhymes with vodka. Otherwise vodka is missing a rhyming partner rhythmically. I say that but shots huh rhymes with vodka. Nvm. I’m tired.
If this is all it takes for you to be impressed by wordplay you should start rapping my guy. This is boring as fuck. Eminem will always loved entirely based on nostalgia and not talent. It’s like people talking about N64 video games.
“Alcohol on my breath, as I reach for the scope” that shit is so hard. Scope (mouthwash) and the assault rifle scope. Damn Em is such a genius. By the way this album is still played to this day almost everyday.
@@ramonperez4148 I don't mind people keeping their guns. The real issue is mental illnesses and the checking the mental state of those who purchase them whether they have prior incidents or not. The right to bear arms isn't an issue. It's the human mind.
It's your right to bear arm. But the age limit is only 18. And you can go to any Walmart and buy a shotgun only needing an ID. While buying an unlimited amount of ammo. If you law abiding citizens why would having more restrictions matter?
He made an entire song a double entendre, and it's one of the best songs he's ever written. Over 10 million views in a single day. Yet haters call him a "guest". #DatsTuff
Those haters that call him a "guest" just can't admit that 1 of the greatest rapper's of all time, today and the foreseeable future is white. Because if he were "black American" they would be praising him for what he has done to the rap game and what he has achieved. I say all those haters need to stop hating, and appreciate this lyrical genius for his talent, who he is and what he's done, and get over the fact that he's white, because if you ask me all this colour bull***t is getting old.
@@falconknowledgey Then why are you discussing colour my G? Your just adding fuel to the fire... And I'm of colour. Everyone knows Nick and his crew are wack, and we should just leave it at that.
Because the haters listen to trash. Music. Nd black music. Nd they are mad at white. People regardless. They live in trashy communities. The reason lot of them say. My hood don't listen to Em he wack. Etc. Nd because they are racist. Nd hide the fact that they are by insulting you. Or saying something off topic just to make you mad. Bc they feel wronged by something happened to they'res grandparents. But this is something they never tell you. They're grandparents.. told them as kids. Nd gave them stories of how they're grandparents had to survive. So as kids they grow up thinking the same, but this they never tell you... they're grandparents told them don't hate any color. No matter what. Protect yourself. But respect always.. you'r free now.. so live freely. So don't live in the mentality of ignorance. But be ignorant when your truely wronged. Not in every situation.. just to use it as an excuse So bc the white man took everything else. But never the culture. And they see Em as a threat bc he's white. Keeping the culture safe so the real racist vultures that wanna take the culture. Won't take the dam culture. But they are paid black people in low communities to keep it black. To keep it ignorant. To keep the death rate going. Nd those are the ones who spread negativity. Talk ish. Nd lie in many situations. Trash only listens to trash. The reason they hate Em. Bc he's not constantly talking about, doing drugs, robbing, stealing, murdering, money, you know what hood niggas listen too. So it has something to do about race. The reason they like to trigger ppl. Nd insult for opinions. Then they use the excuse of freedom of opinions to turn table that, nd hide they're racism behind that. So you'll be distracted to argue about something that they aren't opinionated about..
You know, at this point I'm starting to thing he's a guest as well. He's so far above everyone else, he's gotta make a trip down here to visit us, then he's off again until next time.
Ive watched several reactions AFTER yours and you set the “bar” so high you get it immediately!!! There is no other reaction channel with the knowledge you have.. you deserve all the greatness thats coming to you.. we here in NC supporting you 💯!!! Lets get it
The whole fucking song gave me goosebumps and made me breathe heavy. How one mans words can impact me is beyond my comprehension. I do know Eminem just kicked the recliner up on his throne with this one. It’s going to take a lot for someone to top this. Wow .
The Sound of Silence is a crazy good song and recommend the Disturbed cover instead of the original. But that brings so much more meaning into this song and brings this to another level on top of a million other levels. Chills the whole way through.
xRaphiii 100% this. Everywhere I go, it’s just people constantly saying the albums bad, without explaining why. They just say the albums bad. It was the same shit with Kamikaze too. that’s why they’re haters. They don’t even bother giving reasons why the albums are bad, they just say it’s bad. That’s what they live for.
@RC Exactly, had these discussions with some people. At some point most of them just seem to troll anymore. Had one guy trying to argue, that Eminem has no multiple entendres in his lyrics. I mean just literally go to Genius and pick one song of his. Like aren't you fricking able to read bars. These arguments just waste your time at some point. Saw some reviews about "Music to be murdered by", from magazines completely uninvolved to music and Hip Hop tearing Em's album apart, just repeating smth they have heard somewhere else. I think it has become kind of comfortable and trendy to hate on Em because it always attention to you. Which of these trolls have ever studied the complex rhyme schemes of an Eminem song. So you're right, at a certain level it's just a personal frustration.
@@beatsgam3r123 Already smoked 2 (in the last 6 hours), but I think I roll another ( maybe) final one while soaking in Em‘s new album the 6th time and then go to sleep knowing that the G.O.A.T. released another fire ass album no one expected. Greetz from germany, 4 am in the morning :D
“A lot of people saying the album is bad.” - just critics and those dumb enough to believe them without deciding for themselves if they like the songs. I swear these critics are just hating for no reason. If they know so much, why aren’t they out there writing their own chart-toppers?
I love the album. My boys and I Listened to the whole thing yesterday and I listened to it again myself. I really love it and I’m one of those people that stopped listening to Em after The Eminem Show, only checking out songs here and there. But Kamikaze brought me back and this is very much on par with that album.
Album is fire every song literally is double entendre I like how we changed it up from Kamikaze give us something a little different the song right here I'm glad you're not sitting over there grinning and smiling like I've seen other reviewers doing this is a very somber video and this hits home for a lot of people come from Vegas I watch this what a lump in my throat and a heavy heart so I appreciate the way that you did you review
"I don't wanna be lonely in this darkness". Em can't just say Misery Loves Company, he's gotta make it more poetic and impactful. Been my favorite for 20 years now, this is a perfect reason why!🤙
@@hipstillhop you can't people if people aren't at a show And also an artist or performer can't "kill" or "murder" (as in give their best performance) a showif people aren't present (physically or mentally in the show) usually in comedy you'll here comedians say when they talk to each other like "I killed the room"
Eminem's own mind has always been alone in the darkness. He doesn't wanna be alone, so he's trying to drag us in with him through his art. Never realized it till now but he's always done this, since SSLP. I understand his career so much more now. "They'll never figure me out." 20 years later, and we still haven't so he's finally telling us.
A couple of bars explained by other people on other videos: "I am so much like my father, you think I would of knew him" - The Las Vegas shooters' father was a well known bank robber back in the day. "I got ammo for the Hecklers" - Heckler and Koch is a gun manufacturing company.
stylezNsmilez yes but those two lines are also a double entendre. Hell… That’s what the whole song is. Not only does it refer to the shooter, and the gun manufacturer, him saying, “I’m so much like my father, you think I would’ve known him”, he was referring to the fact that he never met his father. And heckler, is also another term for people in the audience who boo the performers.
And this is what Em was workin on while Nick Cannon and his goons were trying to make diss tracks lol
Hence the reason why royce was like stay focused on the album, it matters more than nick canon
Pretty sure the one song on the album is talking about Nick and Suge coming at Em to take him down for the Gov...just like Iran, Bin Laden, Saddam, etc. Put a few bucks in Nick’s pocket and I’m sure he’ll make a diss track trying to paint Em as a racist and get him “canceled”/silenced. Just sayin

“I’m so much like my father, you would think that I knew him” Underrated line
On mental health, I think we need to stop the stigma attached to those who get counseling or help. People go to the gym to get physically fit, why do we stereotype those who may go to a “mental coach” or psychologist for their mental health? As a male it’s seen as a weakness when in reality we should be proud of the positive steps we take to maintain our mental clarity. Conversation inspired by a video that is criticized... go figure... some people are so close minded
Totally agree with what you said. Also though, other countries have the same challenges around masculinity & mental health and they do not have the mass shooting - because access to guns is much more difficult.
@@FlyingFish747 I can agree - It's crazy that some of the people offended by Em's song don't see that it's raising real awareness through a different platform. He shows how someone gets to that point of breaking and he told the story - then challenges us to interpret the causes and find the solutions - it's artistic genius to bring exposure to the root of the problem - It doesn't glorify the shooter at all in my opinion.
Dead ass. If yo lawn messed up, you call someone, if yo car ain't running right, you call someone. If yo mind ain't right, please call someone. Help is help. I wish I could help.
@@FlyingFish747 it seems like that would just fix everything but it wouldn't of you dig into the rates and likely hood of these shootings
I wish there wasn’t stigma around it or I would be going to a therapist. Any time I try to open up to my friend to him something’s wrong he laughs it off and calls me a sped lmao
I haven’t seen anyone comment on the bars: “feels like I’m loathing in Las Vegas, haven’t got the VAGUEST (vegas) why I’m so LOST (las) flippin the word play y’all!!
P Deezy I caught that
Hes a lyrical genius💯
If u didn’t catch that u shouldn’t even listen to rap. That was a easy catch.
You missed that loathing is a reference to fear and loathing in Las Vegas a movie about doing drugs in Vegas. Also potentially vaguest was a triple entendre with vagus nerve ( Visceral feelings and gut instincts are literally emotional intuitions transferred up to your brain via the vagus nerve. In previous studies, signals from the vagus nerve traveling from the gut to the brain have been linked to modulating mood and distinctive types of fear and anxiety. www.psychologytoday.com/au/blog/the-athletes-way/201405/how-does-the-vagus-nerve-convey-gut-instincts-the-brain)
@Compellingly Mediocre that's like the exact definition of word play
Who in the hell makes an entire song a double entendre?
EM: hold my vodka...
Em: Wanna see me do it again?
I especially love when he says “double entendre” cause if he doesn’t say it I don’t know cause my IQ is room temperature and my parents were related.
Em: hold my shots
Broo, so many of them...Common "i use to love her", Nas & Scarface " I fuck hip hop",Kanye, homecoming"...
Lupe Fiasco, nas, and Jay Z have done it
This just hit me. He dont want to be alone in the darkness. The shooter takes out people then shoots himself. So hes not alone in the darkness
Giardinelli Jr John bruhhhhh
Thanks king
Even if you listen to this song 500 times, you will still find something deeper.
"Thas tough."
Damn that’s deep
It gets deeper “I Don’t want to be alone in the darkness” shooter point of view he don’t want to be alone so he going kill as many people as possible and take them with him. Eminem point he feel like hip hop is loss and he wants to bring many listeners to see it fro his point of view... Symbolic “Music To Be Murdered By”.
WOW guys thanks for the love stay real #longlivehiphop
Damn bruh
Thank you for this comment
Also just a theory, I could be reaching but this is Eminem, you never know how deep it goes.
At the end you see him go out onto the stage, into the lights. The darkness could be referring to off the stage, behind closed doors so to speak. He doesn't want to be alone anymore once all of the lights go off. For the shooter his "light" was being on TV, being infamous, being spoken about and having people know he exists. Like I say, a reach.
Well said ☺
Fire bro thanks for that perspective
“You can’t murder a show nobody’s at” Eminem’s double meanings are insane
The whole song was a double 😂
The whole song is a double meaning tbh
MAR3L MAR3L he even says double entrende after he says "round after round after round I'm getting loaded. That's a lot of shots"
Man I don’t know where to begin. Honestly big EM fan politics aside. But the double entendres I felt were shallow for a political point. Lots of facts were wrong in this song especially if you talk to Vegas residents as myself. If it was to bring awareness to gun violence it would of included other cities which I won’t bring up but your aware of. This was just a 2nd amendment hit job. Godzilla was fire tho and shag dats tuff. Keep up the good job.
I love how his saying if you do nothing then yall gonna be too scared to gather for my show, and how his letting us know that when he sees a lite crowd he blames himsrlf, when he takes a step back he realises that people dont want to gather in groups anymore.
I just realized in the background during the “that’s a lot of shots huh” he says “double entendre”
Ooooooh boy!
Swauvette R also the when the camera zooms out on the tvs they are shaped like the United States....
1,000,000 subscribers without a video 64 yeah but that was kinda obvious cause of the flag in the end
I think he did that for the listeners to pay attention to it throughout the whole song. Genius
This is probably the best song of 2020. The double entendre is insane.
Eminem brought me inside this shooters mind and made me feel like I was there. This was crazy powerful and how he talked about his life at the same time this man is a genius.
Right? The way this flowed was awesome
Track was incredibly amazing on so many levels. Great points PrincessT!

he always does this. not so much saying double entendre but he laughs or says heh after doin double entendres
I caught that as well!
Yeah, it's nothing new with Eminem. He is a lyrical mad man, he is a genius.
When Em stands up and walks to the lights of the crowd his not in the darkness no more, just like the shooter receiving attention from the media.
I love it when Shaq becomes speechless. Its like feeling like having good friends. I dont have many friends but I dont have a single friend who appreciates Eminem and Music as much as I would so I never have someone to talk to so Shaq Is like ike that friend who understands you and doesnt judge you.
I had a friend for many years who was so into Eminem, and music being one of our shared loves, he tried for years to get me to really listen to his music. But I was a lot younger and too closed off and honestly, too stupid to give him a true listen. I say stupid because my main reasons were that there was just too much controversy and I felt like I had enough shit going on in my life, I didn’t want to think about or deal with the bigger controversies.
When my friend died (drunk driver hit the car he was in), I sat down with my grief and finally played every Eminem song I could find. It was one thing I felt like I still owed him and it was something about him I wanted to understand better.
I regret that it took me so long to really listen to Eminem, because the man is a lyrical genius, but I regret more the missed conversations my friend and I could have shared about this music that was so important to him.
I enjoy Eminem for his own sake, but also because every time I listen to him, it makes me feel closer to my friend, like he’s not completely gone.
My friend didn’t have a lot of friends, but the ones he did have he genuinely cared about and I believe, visa versa. Maybe one day your friends will come around to Eminem, or maybe not, we all have different tastes (but still, tastes can change). Here’s hoping that one day one of them will and you will have someone you can share the music with. But if not, you still have the music and how it speaks to you and makes you feel, and that’s not a little thing.
That's so me holy shit
It's ya boy, it's ya homie, it's ya.... friend Shaq. 😊

@Chicken Bubblegum umm when is that??
This section is about to get toxic.
@Chicken Bubblegum Ariana fan spotted
You know Shaq's a real one when he keeps the respect despite having a slightly different opinion than em about the topic.
I fuckin love this comment... cuz what you said is so rare to hear nowadays .. to disagree but have respect. Its so small yet people want to fight over matter of opinion. I loved this
And he agreed that things will change when enough people care. That could mean a number of different ways things could change, but whichever change it is, it won’t happen until enough people care ✌🏼
Agreed. It’s easier to get a gun than it is to get a divorce. Criminals don’t give two shits about gun laws. Someone wants a gun they can get one.
Yes, I agree. The issue is that when people start disagreeing they tend to immediately think the other person won't let them say their point of view. Which is also due to how people are raised/been through.. Unlike Shaq i do believe changing laws will do something.. I do also do understand what he means when he says " they'll get their hands on guns" I think where it'll help is with the type of guns/ammo amount someone can buy and also more extensive checks.. that's how i see it tho. Many will have different opinions which is fine, just have to talk about it. I think that's also the point of this video.. since i have seen more people talking about it online and even with friends after they seen the video.
Fr, I dont live in the US but wont lessening the amount of people who can get guns just cause perpetrators to get guns illegally and prevent people who get guns legally from defending themselves? Surely if you’re going to carry out an attack it matters less to you that the gun is legal compared to someone who just wants one to protect themselves and there family?
Notice at 7:06 he says “as I reach for the scope” hand leads from the mouthwash (SCOPE) to the SCOPE..
We catch those
That I didn't catch, till I saw the vid....clever line
Madtroid yeah I’ve always fucked with Em, just strayed away from the “club” because of weirdos such as yourself. 🤢

@@green-sr3xn true. Its a whole quadruple entendre wrapped
1/23/20
From Em about criticism
"Gentle listener,
"In today's wonderful world, murder has become so commonplace that we are a society obsessed and fascinated by it. I thought why not make a sport of it, and murder over beats? So before you jump the gun, please allow me to explain.
"This album was not made for the squeamish. If you are easily offended or unnerved at the screams of bloody murder, this may not be the collection for you. Certain selections have been designed to shock the conscience, which may cause positive action. Unfortunately, darkness has truly fallen upon us.
"So you see, murder in this instance isn't always literal, nor pleasant. These bars are only meant for the sharpest knives in the drawer. For the victims of this album, may you rest peacefully. For the rest of you, please listen more closely next time. Goodnight!
"With deepest sympathy, Eminem."

The line "If you'd to know the reason why I did this, you'll never find a motive.", and "By the time it's over, it won't make the slightest difference." hits real hard. Your next door neighbor could become the type of person this song's made about.
Eminem says in one of his songs -
"everybody just feels like they can relate I guess words are a motherfucker, they can be great or they can degrade, or even worse, they can teach hate, It's like these kids hang on every single statement we make" --- "See what these kids do, is hear about us totin' pistols
and they want to get one, 'cus they think the shit's cool, not knowin' we're really just protectin' ourselves, we entertainers"
That last scene where Eminem looks at all the TVs, I got the feeling he feels some responsibility for some of this. Eminem is the symbol for freedom of speech, always has been and forever will be. Despite his aggressive reputation I believe he has a good heart that the world doesn't always gets to see

It was originally a book by Hunter Thompson, a gonzo style journalist, who killed himself by gunshot to the head.
If this is all it takes for you to be impressed by wordplay you should start rapping my guy. This is boring as fuck. Eminem will always loved entirely based on nostalgia and not talent. It’s like people talking about N64 video games.
“Alcohol on my breath, as I reach for the scope” that shit is so hard. Scope (mouthwash) and the assault rifle scope. Damn Em is such a genius.
By the way this album is still played to this day almost everyday.
When you hear the news about all the shootings at once. It really hits..
Not hard enough, the amount of people coming at em because their guns matter more to them than being reminded of the mass shooting reality.
Ramon Perez why do you get to keep yours?
@@ramonperez4148 I don't mind people keeping their guns. The real issue is mental illnesses and the checking the mental state of those who purchase them whether they have prior incidents or not.
The right to bear arms isn't an issue. It's the human mind.
It's your right to bear arm. But the age limit is only 18. And you can go to any Walmart and buy a shotgun only needing an ID. While buying an unlimited amount of ammo. If you law abiding citizens why would having more restrictions matter?
Facts
He made an entire song a double entendre, and it's one of the best songs he's ever written. Over 10 million views in a single day. Yet haters call him a "guest". #DatsTuff
Fuck Nick and Jamar no Lord
Those haters that call him a "guest" just can't admit that 1 of the greatest rapper's of all time, today and the foreseeable future is white.
Because if he were "black American" they would be praising him for what he has done to the rap game and what he has achieved.
I say all those haters need to stop hating, and appreciate this lyrical genius for his talent, who he is and what he's done, and get over the fact that he's white, because if you ask me all this colour bull***t is getting old.
@@falconknowledgey Then why are you discussing colour my G? Your just adding fuel to the fire... And I'm of colour. Everyone knows Nick and his crew are wack, and we should just leave it at that.
Because the haters listen to trash. Music. Nd black music. Nd they are mad at white. People regardless. They live in trashy communities. The reason lot of them say. My hood don't listen to Em he wack. Etc. Nd because they are racist. Nd hide the fact that they are by insulting you. Or saying something off topic just to make you mad. Bc they feel wronged by something happened to they'res grandparents. But this is something they never tell you. They're grandparents.. told them as kids. Nd gave them stories of how they're grandparents had to survive. So as kids they grow up thinking the same, but this they never tell you... they're grandparents told them don't hate any color. No matter what. Protect yourself. But respect always.. you'r free now.. so live freely. So don't live in the mentality of ignorance. But be ignorant when your truely wronged. Not in every situation.. just to use it as an excuse
So bc the white man took everything else. But never the culture. And they see Em as a threat bc he's white. Keeping the culture safe so the real racist vultures that wanna take the culture. Won't take the dam culture. But they are paid black people in low communities to keep it black. To keep it ignorant. To keep the death rate going. Nd those are the ones who spread negativity. Talk ish. Nd lie in many situations. Trash only listens to trash. The reason they hate Em. Bc he's not constantly talking about, doing drugs, robbing, stealing, murdering, money, you know what hood niggas listen too. So it has something to do about race. The reason they like to trigger ppl. Nd insult for opinions. Then they use the excuse of freedom of opinions to turn table that, nd hide they're racism behind that. So you'll be distracted to argue about something that they aren't opinionated about..
You know, at this point I'm starting to thing he's a guest as well. He's so far above everyone else, he's gotta make a trip down here to visit us, then he's off again until next time.
Never noticed he actually says: “Double Entendre” in the background after he says that’s a lot of shots of vodka.
Ive watched several reactions AFTER yours and you set the “bar” so high you get it immediately!!! There is no other reaction channel with the knowledge you have.. you deserve all the greatness thats coming to you.. we here in NC supporting you 💯!!! Lets get it
Since when has dez Bryant been doing reaction videos
Ruben Espinoza dude 🤣🤣
Amy long watch Knox Hill's reaction it's better
This Will never stop because America's fucked we don't get this shit in the UK
@edwin younes yup yeah. He did say he knew about what it was about beforehand at the beginning.
The whole fucking song gave me goosebumps and made me breathe heavy. How one mans words can impact me is beyond my comprehension. I do know Eminem just kicked the recliner up on his throne with this one. It’s going to take a lot for someone to top this. Wow .
This album is great, but this track is a masterpiece.
Anyone else get chills from how haunting the "hello darkness my old friend" sounds? Damn
My favorite part
The Sound of Silence is a crazy good song and recommend the Disturbed cover instead of the original. But that brings so much more meaning into this song and brings this to another level on top of a million other levels. Chills the whole way through.
everyone who says the album is bad has no idea what he is talking about
xRaphiii 100% this. Everywhere I go, it’s just people constantly saying the albums bad, without explaining why. They just say the albums bad. It was the same shit with Kamikaze too. that’s why they’re haters. They don’t even bother giving reasons why the albums are bad, they just say it’s bad. That’s what they live for.
yeh u r right man im from india
@RC Exactly, had these discussions with some people. At some point most of them just seem to troll anymore. Had one guy trying to argue, that Eminem has no multiple entendres in his lyrics.
I mean just literally go to Genius and pick one song of his. Like aren't you fricking able to read bars. These arguments just waste your time at some point. Saw some reviews about "Music to be murdered by", from magazines completely uninvolved to music and Hip Hop tearing Em's album apart, just repeating smth they have heard somewhere else. I think it has become kind of comfortable and trendy to hate on Em because it always attention to you.
Which of these trolls have ever studied the complex rhyme schemes of an Eminem song. So you're right, at a certain level it's just a personal frustration.
This album is lyrically his best
gun controls dumb it never works let use have our rights
Greatest story telling rapper ever this song is great
Check out Millyz ...he's a good story teller...esp his freestyles
Slick rick
@@ghostface6720 Thank you. These white kids man.
@@triggadre1930 i hate to break it to you but I'm white and a kid😂 but i know real rap👊🏼👊🏿
lol joyner lucas is a better story teller.
I haven’t heard a bad song yet this album is straight fire 🔥
Me: Just Started This React Video, Bout To Put My Blunt Out
SHAQ: Finish That Man, Finish That!
Me: Aight Coach, DAMN!!
*Nobody laughed*
Smoking bud right now watching the reaction 😂
@@itzAndy03 Get to bed. You got church in the morning.
@@itzAndy03 And yet you commented with a weak Ass comment 🤦♂️🤦♂️
@@beatsgam3r123 Already smoked 2 (in the last 6 hours), but I think I roll another ( maybe) final one while soaking in Em‘s new album the 6th time and then go to sleep knowing that the G.O.A.T. released another fire ass album no one expected. Greetz from germany, 4 am in the morning :D
“A lot of people saying the album is bad.” - just critics and those dumb enough to believe them without deciding for themselves if they like the songs. I swear these critics are just hating for no reason. If they know so much, why aren’t they out there writing their own chart-toppers?
Boom! Ur last point is bang on point pal. Great question
It got gold certified 2 days back!
I love the album. My boys and I Listened to the whole thing yesterday and I listened to it again myself. I really love it and I’m one of those people that stopped listening to Em after The Eminem Show, only checking out songs here and there. But Kamikaze brought me back and this is very much on par with that album.
Best album since Recovery imo
Lol wouldn't say that. MMLP2 was 🔥
Album is fire every song literally is double entendre I like how we changed it up from Kamikaze give us something a little different the song right here I'm glad you're not sitting over there grinning and smiling like I've seen other reviewers doing this is a very somber video and this hits home for a lot of people come from Vegas I watch this what a lump in my throat and a heavy heart so I appreciate the way that you did you review
💯 agree. He and Stevie Knight show proper respect
The production of this album could arguably be the best of any album he's ever put out
I think part of the reason he did make this into a video, he doesn't want people to forget. He wants people to think about things
"I don't wanna be lonely in this darkness". Em can't just say Misery Loves Company, he's gotta make it more poetic and impactful. Been my favorite for 20 years now, this is a perfect reason why!🤙
The symbolism and double meaning in this song is insane. Not to mention the piano interpolation of ‘Sound of Silence’. Absolute genius.
The attention to detail in the video is insane: the time on the clock, the setting up of the cameras are all so accurate.
"you can't murder a show, no bodies at"
Double meaning oh my goodness
This whole album got me messed up
Raul Ramirez I just caught that too! Amazing!! 🔥
Can u tell me the double meaning
@@hipstillhop you can't people if people aren't at a show
And also an artist or performer can't "kill" or "murder" (as in give their best performance) a showif people aren't present (physically or mentally in the show)
usually in comedy you'll here comedians say when they talk to each other like "I killed the room"
Damn i didn´t catch this one. This Dude is a living Legend
That line hard
Early that the title is "Eminem Darkness DONE" ;)
Ayeee we saw that shit
Saw that😂😂😂
Same
Me too lol
same!
This is why the Joker movie was 100 acurrate
Yep
When you realize the entire song is a double entendre.... Em a mf legend 💯 this man the goat on me!
That means the lines he spits. Splits into two universe and its all a whooping quadruple etendre.
@@emgo-at7398 RIGHT!
Respect to Em, one of my really good friends for 12 years didn’t make it out. Good story telling here
Stay strong ❤️
Eminem's own mind has always been alone in the darkness. He doesn't wanna be alone, so he's trying to drag us in with him through his art. Never realized it till now but he's always done this, since SSLP. I understand his career so much more now. "They'll never figure me out."
20 years later, and we still haven't so he's finally telling us.
A couple of bars explained by other people on other videos:
"I am so much like my father, you think I would of knew him" - The Las Vegas shooters' father was a well known bank robber back in the day.
"I got ammo for the Hecklers" - Heckler and Koch is a gun manufacturing company.
stylezNsmilez yes but those two lines are also a double entendre. Hell… That’s what the whole song is. Not only does it refer to the shooter, and the gun manufacturer, him saying, “I’m so much like my father, you think I would’ve known him”, he was referring to the fact that he never met his father. And heckler, is also another term for people in the audience who boo the performers.
@@BlindMelonLord I thought those were obvious.
