This is actually my favourite track on the Album. To me, it feels like this is one of the tracks that are made "for the culture" it feels old-school and fun, but more than that it pays respect to the greats that influenced em and made him and hip hop/rap what it is today, having it set on a busta sample was fantastic as well.
Fun fact, it's not a Busta sample, it's a Busta shout-out to pay homage because its actually Mr Porter (Denaun from D12 who produced this beat) imitating Busta, I fully believed it was Busta he did it so good
That's Em fan-boying out, I think. If he had features like this earlier in his career, there would be much less debate and hate. This album is the album he wanted to make, beats and features, without any of the bullshit politics involved because at this point he's so big that he can create what he wants without pressure from the puppet strings.
@@gregorylamb9651 He was having so much fun making this album that I can feel it in every track from Side A to B. But dude, Politics was an important of Hip Hop throughout the 80s and 90s, it was a way to express their issues to the world in music form. You can't blame Eminem for doing the same
Black Thought snapped, thought that verse would be hard to beat... lol i swear i think Eminem heard his verse and was like "alright this what i gotta beat" cause they both killed it.

He doesn't point out the easy bars. Any trained ear catches it. But I feel you, it'd be nice to enjoy with him certain bars, level up bro. We here for it.
@@r00b1XCu6E when I want a reaction to all the great bars, I put it on in the car with my eldest son, who is 16 and just discovering good music. He pauses it a lot to ask "did I hear that right!?"
@@r00b1XCu6E getting old sucks, doesn't it? 😆 I'm still teaching my youngest about the greats. He's ten. He's heard Eminem and is amiable about listening to him, but is way more into Linkin Park and Rage Against the Machine, which is cool by me. Speaking of RAtM, he asked if Killing in the Name Of was new, because it still absolutely applies to the last few years. He was sad to hear that shit's just as bad now as it was in the 80s. It's just more televised now than when I was a kid.
@@MegaKat yeah, getting older is a trip. He'll find timeless music is ubiquitous, that the sad truth is nothing changes essentially just social bandaids get changed.

7:15 Barking Dogs Never Bite is also one of most famous South Korean films made by director Bong Joon-Ho (the guy who made Parasite) so I am almost certain this is a continuation of the double with Reservoir Dogs following the dogs/famous movies scheme.
@@paulcavaliere2557 No, freestyle just means it's an open mic with no restrictions on subject or rhythm, but they've always been able to be either written or improvised. All improvised rap are freestyles, but freestyle does not necessarily mean improvised.
@@paulcavaliere2557 I have been watching freestyle rap for decades. I assure you that I am not wrong. The definition of freestyle is "A written or improvised verse, about no particular subject." Harry even quoted this himself in one of his livestrams.

6:30: NGL I didn't know she was there so will be googling. I know she sent Em Pacs rhymesheet to thank him for producing Loyal To The Game. Can you imagine being in possession of that? What a privilege.
This is the only verse that Em has gotten got on this own song. Em the goat but Black Thought went super nova! Love this song and album and everything about this!
I think the Octomom line “stretched out” was more in reference to her having so many babies, not necessarily her adult entertainment career. That’s how I took it.
I'm going to subscribe to your channel. I feel like when I watched this video, I got educated significantly in the short pockets of the reaction where you were taking pauses to explain historical references and the deeper meaning of these bars. Thanks my dude.
I am new I’m on🐗 bandwagon💯 I love how this rap is so smart And you’re smart enough to know all these details that makes me like the music 1000 times more! I feel Like I am I’m in on it!!

Out of the hundred plus reactors I've watched, this guy is the most polished in the field. Knows when to go in depth if necessary but also points out the simple jabs that are worth mentioning. Sometimes I think to myself, I swear, this guy has instant access to a complete set of encyclopedias just coz he has such a wide range of knowledge on so many different levels. I'm very impressed with your work mrlboyd and I hope you continue this journey with us... but I gotta ask... please react to The Weeknd (full album reactions,) if you haven't already listened to his music. He has a die hard fan base that will flock by the thousands to your channel and he is one of the most unique individuals in almost every way imaginable. He is primarily an R&B artist that fuses all types of music but still stays true to his vision and he capitalizes every fucking time although I will warn you...he is quite out there, similar to eminem, his lyrics/message can get quite radical but that's what makes him appealing, at least in my opinion. Keep up the great quality of work and I hope you grant my request.
I think Eminem was the person who first introduced me to Big L ("Take some Big and some 'Pac, mix 'em up in a pot, sprinkle a little Big L on top"), so no surprise he'd shout him out here.
Imma say, *just my thoughts,* that this is the best jam on the album.... *M* had to come strong with so many *Legends* on here, but he did & managed to take back his own track, even after *Thought* came out swinging *HARD*
What are you talking about the Octomom is a Woman who had 8 children. Imagine what her lady garden would have looked like after giving birth to that many children. That is what Eminem is referring to in that bar
This and "I Will" were mind blowing good
Book of Rhymes and You Gon' Learn too
🔥 album. Get to I will and Book of Rhymes....both are pure hiphop
Marsh
Godzilla
@Michael I agree with that. And also shows a trend... Any song with Royce and Em on it is mind blowing good
Em telling Black thought to keep going makes me smile every time! Loving the content as always.
Me too mane 😁
*TRUTH*
That was supposed to be the end of his verse, but *M* told him to keep flowing!!

Definitely one of the best Em joints of recent memory.
It is but...he has a lot of great material the past 3 or 4 years now.

You can't blame Eminem for doing the same
I think the Busta hook was included since this is an homage to old school. Loved Black Thought's bars. Awesome track all around.
I agree! You have got to be on another level to dissect Black Thought. Because he will make your ass think LOL
The hook was done by Denaun, also known as Mr Porter during the D12 days. Not a sample but definitely an homage and paying respect to Busta.
Absolutely and just outright telling the new generation that old school is better then new school.
Shoutout Em for name dropping those legends! Shout out POOR RIGHTEOUS TEACHERS. Respects
"Papers a hand grenade soon as I pull the pin/pen out"
My good man, he just missed it.
Black Thought killed that track, best part of it.🔥
This was pure homage. An ode like you said. Fantastic.
I'm still "Super Lyrical" references the track he did with Pun
So glad em and Royce squashed their beef in a way that allowed them to save their love and respect for each other.

Royce Da 59 paid homage to Das EFX with the "Boom stickety" lyrics and flow #oldschoolhiphop 💯

The very beginning of the 1st verse is also a shoutout to Das EFX' "They want EFX".
Every time I hear that last part of Eminem's verse saluting is always fire.
Hell yea man, him paying homage to the ones before him is amazing
"Just in case we need em" always makes laugh, cuz dog, its Eminem. You are definitely gonna need em.
