It gets me every time to hear him rhyme "intergalactical, cynical act a fool, packed a tool, acted cool, tactical track tickle- your fancy". Its mind blowing how he makes that work while staying perfectly in the pocket despite how awkward the pronounciation changes have to be while you spit.

@@CharyHunter new underground is good but ima be honest, the lyrical aspect has gone away over the past 15 years. It’s totally understandable tho, but mainstream rappers like Kendrick, J.Cole, (fuck drake), 21 savage etc whom still adopt a lyrical style tho. There’s stuff you are looking for out there you just gotta go looking, I found my spot in underground tbh.
This is proof that Eminem was always going to be great. Just like Dre said - if it wasn't him that found Em, someone else would have and the result would have been the same. If you compare the rhyme schemes to his peers of the time, there weren't many who could hang with him even then.
To be fair...Evan Bogart was the one that "found" him, but he didn't have any pull at Interscope, and their A&R department laughed at him for a good 6 months as he tried everything to get them to meet and sign Eminem. He still slipped the demo to Jimmy Iovine via Dean Geistlinger who was filling in as an assistant that day.
I grew up in Detroit, and it's still crazy to me that this didn't blow up. Unfortunately the local rap community here wouldn't give him, the props he really deserved (probably because he was a skinny white dude & was better than everyone else around here). But the rejection gave him the drive to create his Slim Shady alter ego. I love this whole album. I also wish he would do another boom-bap record.
to me it makes sense, this doesn't stand apart even if it is technically top tier, that just makes you another great rapper. Shady made him stand apart in that sea of great rappers
@@BucK5o From Madison Heights, but lived in Detroit for many years 98-2008, but that's what happens when you get strung out on dope at 17. East Side Hoes and Money. Now I'm as close to Detroit as possible, in Hazel Park.
Im from 7mile road in detroit i have a signed infinite cassette tape from way back wen em was walking around the hood selling his album on the streets he sold a copy to my cousin and my cousin took 1 listen had this gut feeling em was going to blow up and become a superstar and went and asked em to sign it for him.....wen my cousin got killed he passed all his hiphop albums down to me....thats my prized possession now i have it in a little customised trophy cabinet thing hanging up on my wall it would prob be worth a fortune now to the right buyer as broke as i get it will stay with me till the end of eternity tho.....i told my wife if i go out before she does i want it burried with me lol
@@dustinbeeghly7025 yea man the problem is rich people dont usually listen to eminem i doubt i would be able to sell it to somebody that wealthy in my head i have a huge sum of money that it would be worth....its prob not actually worth that much tbf maybe 15-20k max in my head i dont want to settle for anything less than maybe 500k lol if i go 1st it would be nice to help towards a funeral and our 2 kids collage funds or something tho or there 1st car or deposit on there 1st house
The car-Túnez catch is crazy. I’m 37, been listening to Eminem since 7th grade or so…. I’ve listened to this song thousands of times… never caught it. Now… if you’re only listening to this song for the first time 10 months ago… this is also crazy, haha. I’ve been bumping this for a loooooong time.
Man. The slim shady persona was a basically born through the rejection he recieved in Detroit. There's something so magical (for lack of a better term) about that
Knox, respect for blarin this. My fave song ever. Love this song so much. It reminds me what matters. its beautiful. I hope he goes on a beat like this again. This is the beauty of hip hop. Reminds me of underground hip hop in brooklyn like shadez of brooklyn, and especially citizen kane (black rain elements of mind remix, listen you won't regret, one the GOAT beats) This shows greatness doesnt always sell at first. This was great but the reception was, 'he's tryna be nas and AZ' so he became Slim Shady after this failed. He was young with high hopes for his first album, he put so much work getting it intio people's detroit cars all the way out of state, so it musta crushed him. Big set back. He got aggressive after that. I miss this kinda music. They said he was too soft. Remember if you got a few views channel, or a starting podcast/project and no one gets it yet, they didnt get this yet either. do what you love, f the rest. ''be all you can be''
Man I miss your Eminem reactions, hope we will see a return to those. It's fitting that his first was called "Infinite", which is what he ended up being. I can see why this didn't blow up back then, it's super dope rapping but it doesn't stand out aside from technical skill. Which means you will be another great rapper, but not set yourself apart. That's what Shady did for him.
yo knoxx i dont comment often but this whole album is a vibe - this shit slaps . Long time em fan here and this is my favorite album after the Eminem show
Let insults fly every 60 seconds that go by, so you know I’m in it (minute) and that line is exactly at 1 minute into the song.. he literally ripped that song apart and the original song is a classic!!! So dope!!
Good reaction bro I have this album. Also the alternative version too, also many other older Em songs that many people haven't heard. Most of the younger Em fans & even some of the older fans only know his most popular songs & albums but not his unreleased/rare material. I'm old so I have them all, mostly burnt on to CD's. He's just incredible. One in a million.

@@Swanson11105I thought most fans know brain damage but maybe cause I’m 30 I know his older songs like you’ve said but I think fans know his songs it’s more casual listeners or haters that only know the popular mainstream tracks & judge him off those. Anyway Ems one of kind you can see his growth & life story through his music and hear he’s only gotten better at this craft he loves over time ❤ x
@@jessicarichter6436 Well said especially the part where you mentioned his growth as an artist 🙂 I hate when people say he's not the best because - "no one plays Eminem in the car" 😁 like that matters or defines him as an artist. Well I say to them people, it all depends on who's driving the car, because I play many of his songs, especially on long journeys. He cannot be put in a box & minimised to one specific thing. He can do it all. His versatility is unparalleled, from shock-awe, to fun party songs, to storytelling/impactful songs, to meaningful music with substance, to everything else in between. Timeless artist with timeless music x
@@jessicarichter6436 well Eminem is the only rapper who has all 10 of his albums with over 1 billion streams and at least 85% of his career they wasn’t streaming yet, It was CDs and he still has every single album with over 1 billion streams ……that’s greatness.💪🏾
Please react to Biterphobia, it was one of the first songs that he came out with, and even back in the 90’s, it was very clear that his lyrical ability and skill on the mic was something very special indeed.
How can you be only hearing this now? Back when The Slim Shady LP dropped, everybody spent weeks on dial-up connections trying to get hold of this album. I actually printed the album sleeve on photo paper. It looked sweet on the shelf and sounded as great as the downloads back then would allow. He was very Nas influenced, but you can hear early iteration of Shady on some of the tracks. The slim Shady LP and a lot of Eminem's stuff is pretty 'boom-bap'. He's a hip-hop purist in a lot of ways. The man is a hip-hop super-nerd who collects tape cassettes from the beginning of the movement. We had so many unsung rappers who were doing similar things in the UK underground scene in the early noughties. After Eminem dropped, I started listening to UK hip-hop much more. He really helped me appreciate the craft (As well as a lot of other British kids). We'd all grown up on 2pac, Dre, Biggie, Snoop, Wutang etc (which we loved)....... but we were a generation of ravers with 'experimental' tendencies. The Slim Shady LP (and elements of Infinite) spoke to us. We related to it. Em's early stuff was more introspective rebellious hip-hop nerd with a penchant for raves and rebellion than gangster street thug hustler....which was much more like the 90s early noughties British youth culture.... As a result, loads of us were inspired to make our own hip-hop. I could recommend you some amazing UK hip-hop tunes from that era that most people have never heard of. Not just the 'tunes' but the technical pen-work was top tier, but we didn't have the platforms that kids today have.
@@mchalo188 Loved those guys. Jehst was on heavy rotation in my first car. Falling Down is an outstanding album. High Plains Drifter also, but that is more of a compilation of releases than a album. Loved Klash, Dubbledge, Essa, Tommy Evans, Doc Brown, Poisonous Poets, Rodney P, Roots Manuva, Kyza, Black Twang, Sway Desafo, Task Force, etc. etc. etc.
I see alot of people compare him to nas on this but I don’t think nas could rap like this, I’m not saying it’s to good lol, Eminem can’t rap like nas, I’m saying it’s unique, it’s definitely his own style of rap Here it’s barley like nas at all, I wish he would of kept this
This em is heavily slept on which is sad bc personally this is the em I came to love! These barz aren't filler there's method to the madness of them ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Thank you Knox for showcasing Ems growth as an artist from his early beginnings to younger generations or new fans. Em truly loves hiphop you can tell how he’s only gotten better over time by working hard to keep improving his skills as an mc through out the decades. It’s a joy to watch his evolution and hear his life story through his music ❤🎶 I love this laid back old school flow would be amazing if he did a track like this on his new coming album just for fun & hiphop heads to enjoy 🤗
i found this album in the mid 2000s somehow and this is by far my favorite record by him i know every word to every song. i was blown away at the rhyme schemes at the time. and the boom bap beats are amazing
i remember stumbling into this track during my hip hop discovery phase i backtracked from recovery to mmlp and a few other early albums including this one
I swear I have been listening to and loving this song on a spiritual level for many years, and I'm so glad somebody else actually gets it... like very few do.
Ngl when i first heard this song i already placed it in my top 5 Em songs its so damn fire Yo if you can ever dissect Yellow Brick Road and that whole controversy would be dope
OMG! "Avatar-the word Bender" someone needs to draw that. I love this channel man. And thanks for hearing your metal heads out here, we appreciate you Knox. Edit: "My Own Summer"- Deftones (🥺 PLEASE)
Please tell me you have heard this before!? This takes me waaayyyyy back. One of my favorite em tracks!! Great job on the break down brother! Much love Knox
Here’s the thing; This stands up to Nas in terms of wordplay and and wipes the floor with Jay Z ‘feelin’ it’ in terms of technicals. He may have been the best if he’d continued…but he was never gonna get his props in this genre without creating his own lane. So he did. And now we’re here nearly 30 years later appreciating how under appreciated he was at the time 😅
“My Infinite CD flopped, too many soft tunes They're talking bad about Dad, it's ticking me off too Makes me feel like I don't belong or something, ooh I think I might have just stumbled onto something new” -castle -Eminem
Knox idk if you'll see this but I'm a huge fan and I love how deep you get with breaking down music and you have taught me so much about music it's unreal. If you are ever wondering about a song or artist to react to you should react to notes from a wrist by d4vd. Much love
I officially say that I've approached to Eminem's 🎶"Infinitive song"🎶 for the first time with Knox Hill. Thank you, man! I really enjoy 💯everything about this song! The music on which Em's rapping is so so smooth and cool !!!...
Read a lot of Shakespeare's sonnets and you will hear where Eminem gets a lot of his influence. Eminem definitely reads the old works and puts his life and what he sees to that influence.
This may be the very first time I've heard this track from Eminem along with you. Even when Eminem was a nobody he was amazing at rapping or as my brother has said, Eminem's an anomaly. Crazy.
my thesis will smash the stereo to pieces. my acapella releases. Plastic master pieces thru telekinesis, that eases you mentally, gently, sentimentally, instrumentally with entity. dementedly meant to be infinite. that line alone is wild. like plastic masterpieces-CDs. speaking telekenisis by speaking in our minds-us listening rn.... wild shit bro
Been waiting for this. You never heard this before? I love it. Too bad he wasn't able to make more stuff like this. But a lot of this album was produced by Denaun
Mr. Knox Hill, great video. "Searchin" another song on this very album, is the only eminem love song where he genuinely sounds lovestruck. After this, all of his love songs are twisted (and great). "Fuckin Backstabber" actually sounds like an earlier version of drug ballad the hypnotizing swirly instrumental and the way he perfectly flows over it, but he's rapping much faster and he's talking about being betrayed instead of drugs. You hear both of them you'll know what I'm talking about. (Maybe you should do a livestream where you do fuckin backstabber and drug ballad back to back it might be a lot of fun. Fiinally a song called "Bitterphobia" think this might be even earlier than infinites release it is quite a treat to listen to. Thank you for the content, you always put out quality videos ❤ your work ethic is something to be admired.
It's only 1 song, so far, but Em and Royce rap over a boom bap beat in Caterpillar. That song is dope AF!!! I would definitely LOVE to hear current Em on boom bap beats like this. It is great hearing Em being showing off his technical prowess this far back! This whole album is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I listen to Catapillar almost every day, such an amazing track, its on my gym playlist. So many great bars, schemes from Royce and Em on that track. My Fave has to be: "You make a whack song, and cant hold a candle, but even Daniel-son whacks off, you jack-offs, need to come to grip like a hand job. The boom bap is coming back with a axe to mumble rap lumberjack with a hacksaw"
I have the European release with all the rare studio tracks and radio freestyles, one of my favourites is rare studio track 1 they used it at the end of scary movie I always remember hearing it as a kid 😅

It’s a joy to watch his evolution and hear his life story through his music ❤🎶 I love this laid back old school flow would be amazing if he did a track like this on his new coming album just for fun & hiphop heads to enjoy 🤗
i found this album in the mid 2000s somehow and this is by far my favorite record by him i know every word to every song. i was blown away at the rhyme schemes at the time. and the boom bap beats are amazing
Finally someone reacting to one of the greatest songs he did!! Thanks Nox
Love that. Em the real wordsmith bender.😂💙 Brilliant #KnoxHill reaction. Ty #Eminem #emcee #hiphop #independentartists #rap
Really waited for this one. Thank you Knox
Hey hey, knox is here with the classic reaction 🎉
Man I've been waiting an *infinite* amount of time for this reaction!! Shout out to my man Knox always delivering top tier content ❤
Eminem's underground album Infinite is a classic record 👌👌👌👌👌👌🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Knox this is cool!!!
Ive heard this song at least 100 times and this is the first time somone has pointed out the Cartoons and Car Tunes part.
This is one of my favs !!
I love this Eminem 🔥 it's super smooth. I would also really like an album like this from current Eminem 🤯 That would be insane
This album is full of gems! Been rocking this for decades bro 😂❤
i need this on spotify!!
where do u listen to it on?
@MM-ir8lz CD & burnt it to PC so I could put on my phone.
@@MM-ir8lz I'm pretty sure this is on Spotify, the song Infinite that is
This is just so chill 😎 and vibey!!!!!!!
“Caterpillar” with Royce is Em on a boom bap track as well as Eminem with buckshot on “don’t front”
i remember stumbling into this track during my hip hop discovery phase i backtracked from recovery to mmlp and a few other early albums including this one
Bro, I just wanted to request this song!!! I love it!!! (And you)
atlast! thank you! pls do the whole album🤗
Thank you knox really love this song by em and without you I wouldn't understand alot of what his lyrics mean
I swear I have been listening to and loving this song on a spiritual level for many years, and I'm so glad somebody else actually gets it... like very few do.
Ngl when i first heard this song i already placed it in my top 5 Em songs its so damn fire
Yo if you can ever dissect Yellow Brick Road and that whole controversy would be dope
one word "LEGENDARY" 🔥
You must do Eminem - Biterphobia next! It from the same album
OMG! "Avatar-the word Bender" someone needs to draw that. I love this channel man. And thanks for hearing your metal heads out here, we appreciate you Knox. Edit: "My Own Summer"- Deftones (🥺 PLEASE)
Please tell me you have heard this before!? This takes me waaayyyyy back. One of my favorite em tracks!! Great job on the break down brother! Much love Knox
I love putting this song on in the background in my apartment, it's such a chill vibe.
One of his best tracks ever to me and I still after all theses years find it impressive even if he didn’t like certain projects of his own
Here’s the thing;
This stands up to Nas in terms of wordplay and and wipes the floor with Jay Z ‘feelin’ it’ in terms of technicals. He may have been the best if he’d continued…but he was never gonna get his props in this genre without creating his own lane. So he did. And now we’re here nearly 30 years later appreciating how under appreciated he was at the time 😅
“My Infinite CD flopped, too many soft tunes
They're talking bad about Dad, it's ticking me off too
Makes me feel like I don't belong or something, ooh
I think I might have just stumbled onto something new” -castle -Eminem
Knox idk if you'll see this but I'm a huge fan and I love how deep you get with breaking down music and you have taught me so much about music it's unreal. If you are ever wondering about a song or artist to react to you should react to notes from a wrist by d4vd. Much love
This whole album is so sick, one of my favorite vinyls, pressed on transparent green wax, you know I’ve got this one spinning on regular.
Classic masterpiece
This is still one of my most favorite Eminem records. A lot of what was and what could’ve been. It’s dope to this day. A hyper polished record.
Infinite is like my favorite album by em 😆 knox really never heard this??? How is that possible? We got em and Nf out the mitten!
( Another ) proof that Eminem ✨💎🎤🐐✨can rap on the most different beats, with different cadences and flows ...I love it !!
I officially say that I've approached to Eminem's 🎶"Infinitive song"🎶 for the first time with Knox Hill. Thank you, man! I really enjoy 💯everything about this song! The music on which Em's rapping is so so smooth and cool !!!...
Now this is where Ez got his vibes from?!?!?😮❤❤❤❤❤I'm loving this
Knox, if you wanna hear em on a boom bap type beat you got to react to 'Don't front'. It's from the Marshal Mathers LP2 era.
Read a lot of Shakespeare's sonnets and you will hear where Eminem gets a lot of his influence. Eminem definitely reads the old works and puts his life and what he sees to that influence.
Shakespeare never gets old
@@phoebegee54 he's dead so technically he did
Finally the song i have waiting for since the day one … since i know you knox and that was maybe 3 or 4 years but hey i am glad 😂👌
This may be the very first time I've heard this track from Eminem along with you. Even when Eminem was a nobody he was amazing at rapping or as my brother has said, Eminem's an anomaly. Crazy.
Very smooth MOBB DEEP type Style & VIBE for me
That’s why I’ll always respect Eminem and all his personas after…infinite is a GEM
Man was always dope!!!
my thesis will smash the stereo to pieces. my acapella releases. Plastic master pieces thru telekinesis, that eases you mentally, gently, sentimentally, instrumentally with entity. dementedly meant to be infinite.
that line alone is wild. like plastic masterpieces-CDs. speaking telekenisis by speaking in our minds-us listening rn.... wild shit bro
Been waiting for this. You never heard this before? I love it. Too bad he wasn't able to make more stuff like this. But a lot of this album was produced by Denaun
He sort of came back to boom bap with “don’t front” 2013
You should do the whole infinite album :) and tonite Is underrated
This is the em that got me hooked on his music.
Mr. Knox Hill, great video. "Searchin" another song on this very album, is the only eminem love song where he genuinely sounds lovestruck. After this, all of his love songs are twisted (and great). "Fuckin Backstabber" actually sounds like an earlier version of drug ballad the hypnotizing swirly instrumental and the way he perfectly flows over it, but he's rapping much faster and he's talking about being betrayed instead of drugs. You hear both of them you'll know what I'm talking about.
(Maybe you should do a livestream where you do fuckin backstabber and drug ballad back to back it might be a lot of fun.
Fiinally a song called "Bitterphobia" think this might be even earlier than infinites release it is quite a treat to listen to.
Thank you for the content, you always put out quality videos ❤ your work ethic is something to be admired.
It's only 1 song, so far, but Em and Royce rap over a boom bap beat in Caterpillar. That song is dope AF!!! I would definitely LOVE to hear current Em on boom bap beats like this.
It is great hearing Em being showing off his technical prowess this far back!
This whole album is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I listen to Catapillar almost every day, such an amazing track, its on my gym playlist. So many great bars, schemes from Royce and Em on that track.
My Fave has to be:
"You make a whack song, and cant hold a candle, but even Daniel-son whacks off, you jack-offs, need to come to grip like a hand job. The boom bap is coming back with a axe to mumble rap lumberjack with a hacksaw"
Always a classic EM banger!
I have always wonder why no one has ever done the review of this masterpiece. This flow is off the chart, this is one of these Eminem classic sh**t
*How the hell are you just NOW hearing this??!!?*
I have the European release with all the rare studio tracks and radio freestyles, one of my favourites is rare studio track 1 they used it at the end of scary movie I always remember hearing it as a kid 😅
Damn, I need to hear more of this! I enjoy Em quite a bit! 🙃
