Check this out: Nas, EPMD-when Slim says “Tomorrow could be your death”, is that as lib “never”? Referencing this album? Bro has been planning this for a lonnnnnng time
I think the reason alot of people say they prefer his old stuff is because they miss the "attitude" they miss the extra little bit of anger and snarl he had in his punchlines , now his punchline is more him emphasizing it so hopefully people understand the doubles and triples hes laying down. He had a real anger to him back then.
@@Randomvideowatcher-g7m It’s a shot at mid- I mean, little folks. 😂😭💀 Also, what you pointed out is called a “Homophone” and is by far Em’s most used literary device.
The Fact he scrubbed the Reeve song from Encore due to his death should show all the haters that rap is a just a game and that even Em has morals. His raps don't represent his views but freedom of speech is so important. It's all fun and games and Em is the master. He's 1 in 7 billion. Absolute artist in the purest sense.
Do you think Eminem ever watched one of these breakdowns and was like "Damn, did I mean that? hell yeah". With how deep our boy goes, I wouldn't be surprised
I said this in years: either em is the luckiest rapper in history that soooo many point connect, or hes actually a genius. He has too many things connecting sometimes.
You’re the only reactor that I’ve watched that caught the When I’m Gone, Easter Egg. It surprises me how some Eminem fans missed that. I noticed that immediately
Been em fan since i was teen back Drop the world forever no apology mockingbird not afraid was how i got to his music but since English aint my first language many times all the bars flew by my head but knox saved me
Hearing Em invite all his past rivals to watch Shady’s death gave me full body chills. This track exceeded all expectations. One of my fav Em projects ever!!!
And that's with the album only being available in a small number of countries even though Em is big in every countries. I'd say he would have doubled that number if it was available everywhere
Explaining the album concept here, because its crazy how many people dont understand, we are getting all Slim Shady eras in this album and Eminem telling us Slim Shady can not die, but he needs to move on...... EDIT HERE : BTW, since posting this on twitter, this received a like from Mr Porter... So I am pretty sure, this is exactly the idea of the album :) This song is Eminem accepting Slim Shady (One of the 12 steps) and beating his addiction. The album is taking us on a journey of Slim Shady to who he is today, Slim Shady is his addiction that he is constantly fighting. We open the album with classic Slim Shady, the voice, the flow and rhyme patterns make this very easy to identify. Then we move to Habits where Slim (His drug addict side) forces himself to try a pill and settles on just taking half, this is the start of Eminems drug abuse. We move to the skit where he takes alcohol and pills combined, which leads us into Encore Slim Shady and the "brand new dance" track, taken directly from Encore, this is Eminem at his drug abuse stage. We then come to Evil, Lucifer and Antichrist, these are the relapse era Slim Shady, getting his kicks from murder, in one of the tracks he even uses a scheme and flow from Stay Wide Awake, from Relapse. We then move to Houdini, this is where Eminem is now getting clean but fighting with his addict self, the music video shows us this also. By GC2 we have Recovery Eminem, he is now sober and can control his addiction, Slim Shady represents this by telling Eminem a lot of truths about how at one point, he made Eminem who he is (his drug addiction, made him that crazy rapper saying things we all laughed at) This is highlighted in the song by Eminem accepting what Slim is telling him (This can be seen as one of the 12 steps) and once that happens Eminem says to Slim "let me go" and Slim does this... Eminem beats his addiction. The rest of the album is Eminem today, Head Honcho he copies what he did earlier and uses a flow and scheme from the MMLP2 album. By the end of the album we have the "what if" song, "Somebody Save Me" This is Eminem reflecting on what would happen if he did not beat his addiction, but still shows the thought is always on his mind... The album then loops, and repeats, the end of the album sets up the beginning and the promo work we seen, (Shadys hand coming out of the grave) We go on a journey through his career as an addict and the cycle repeats, showing that he is constantly fighting addiction, but he can keep winning.
Awesome summary. this makes more sense than backwards. what a genius masterpiece by eminem So i guess there is no "death" of slim. it will always be a part of him. i just wonder what the next album will be and if any relation to this one
@albargain77 slim cant die. That's why he laughs at the end of guilty concious 2 I mean eminem said it himself multiple times that slim is actually himself but unhinged and hooked on controversy. So by proxy slim never dies bc the battle rapper, the free speech and the aggression in eminem never dies
Great summary of the concept of the album. Along with the concept of the album he’s showing us he’s still Shady, but he’s choosing to be more reserved because he’s matured as a person and an artist.
Thank you Knox for actually catching how introspective this song is. There’s so much shady shock factor that it’s been easy for a lot of reactors to gloss over the growth he clearly displays here. I’ve never been as excited for a single song as I was when I saw Guilty Conscience 2 on the track list and it blew my expectations away
Today was the first time I’m listening to the “Knox Hill Channel”, I knew there was a lot of hidden messages on the “Houdini” track so I was looking for someone to break it down, it was such an amazing breakdown, I’m now on my 5th Breakdown/Reaction on this channel . This dude is freaking is at a PHD Level in understanding & dissecting these things. I was 17 when the first Eminem Album came out. I was in the Army from 1999-2006 & we’d blast Eminem Songs before patrols or missions to help get amped up to get in the right mindset. I have a weird connection to Eminem because his music was apart of very pivotal point in my life & unbeknownst to any but the people in the barracks, his Music was deeply connected to a lot of things you’d see on CNN. Little did people know 45 mins prior we were blasting “Soldier” or “Till I Collapse”right before some historical gunfights/battles, one that a lot of people may remember is in Mosul when we killed Qusay and Uday Hussein, we were jamming Eminem “Soldier” & Disturbed "Down With The Sickness" when Uday & Qusay were UnAlived by the "Mostly Peaceful" dudes firing RPG's & Machine-guns at us, we gracefully Merica’d the Mansion while "Spreading Democracy" with 25mm, 240B, 5.56, 7.62, 50cal, LAW anti-tank rockets, & 120mm Smooth Bore Cannon so they could go meet the nonexistent 72-Virgins that weren’t wanting for them. That’s not political, those were Evil Dudes & deserved to die but 20 years later we’ve found out it was all a LIE & we had no business in Iraq but it’s still a historical time period in history. I’m now 43 & was turned-off by Eminem when all the Race Hustling & Manufactured Division was playing out around the World. It was very disappointing due to his massive influence he holds not only on younger generations but middle aged white dudes like myself that he chose to be so Divisive in a really bad time, so I intentionally avoided his music the past few years but glad I started paying attention again because he is a GOAT & SlimShady doesn’t discriminate when he’s issuing insults & attacks. It’s so cool to be able to have these Artist Music dissected for those of us who’s brains don’t comprehend as fast & clearly like this genius breaking it down for us mere mortals.. Thank you 🙏…This has been very Nostalgic… Music can bring back & connect so many memories we normally would never think about or remember…
Him waking up in the end and calling Paul is just showing that this was another failed attempt at killing Shady. Especially with the laugh at the end, I don’t think thats Marshall laughing, that’s Shady laughing.
How i viewed it is Eminem is trying to kill Slim shady for good but he cant because all the succes that Slim brought helped him not need to grind as much so he could focus on raising his daughters. Its like he said on Premonition from MTBMB, I hate you but i need you
Marshall and shady are two sides of the same coin. To get rid of one who have to get rid of the whole coin. Marshall needs to go full kamikaze on a track where he murders shady and himself. You can't only kill part of yourself, that's rather a flesh wound. Maybe it's leading to some 'the resurrection of slim shady' kinda stuff 🤣.
I think it's because it's a call back to when he used heavy vocal layering from 2000-2003ish. Soldier, The Way I Am, White America, Howcome - all of these made great use of vocal layering, and as a result it had a huge impact on the track itself.
It reminds me of the last verse from Bad Guy so much!!! Especially the part when he says "This is for X, Y and Z", naming the people Marshall is avenging, just like Matthew Mitchell was doing by the end of Bad Guy when killing Marshall. I always get goosebumps and tears in my eyes by that point. ❤
Something I noticed about the laugh at the end, it’s the exact laugh that plays at the end of white America right before he says, “I’m just playing America, you know I love you” Maybe now it’s “I’m just playing shady, you know I love you” 👀
No the laugh is from shady, not marshall, so that means marshall didn't kill shady, he's not dead and alot of people are saying this is a 2 way album, if you listen to it from the last song to the first then shady kills Eminem at the end.
@@Luke_cockholdI have read the theories and I have to agree. They are well put together and make sense unlike some theories. Slim aint dead and Em has more planned with him.
@@Luke_cockhold I actually thought it was Shady kills Em if you interpret correctly from the beginning. That little singing snippet at the end of the record about the Viagra? Pure Shady. Maybe the whole meaning of the thing is that as far as Em's career goes, Marshall''s dead and Shady's going to masquerade as him? (I'm interested to see how far he takes it. If he turns up for interviews bottle blond, then we know what it means.)
Back on relapse he did my darling where he is confronting his addiction/alter ego. So creative how he built these tracks! The way the 2 voices mesh together in the end is just incredible. This album is so meticulously done he is a true addict, addicted to his art.
Been waiting for this. My favourite track off the album. Once he gets to the 3minute mark of the song, it’s crazy how the voices come together and create old skool proper slim shady voice
I was waiting for this one ! The production value on that one is insane ! The mix recipe they used to make Shady and Em's voice standout from each other is insane. And then there's the two of em speaking at the same time !
Knox with you being a dad the song Temporary could definitely make you shed a tear or two, I don’t even have kids and that song brought tears to my eyes
I've been waiting on this breakdown since I heard it. It's possibly my favorite track, definitely the one that caught my ear the most, and then after i listened to the album, I noticed the name of this track.
@@usama.002 If you listen to the album backwards Slim actually makes his first appearance in this song. I think the first track (which is the last if you listen to it backwards) is the Renaissance of Slim Shady and he will drop a Side B to this album later.
@@klipo7467 bro thats what i did yesterday, weird how it fits perfectly. Houdini end visuals fall so well onto Roadrage... plus "For my last trick" and also "what you doing? dying our hair"... from there on you start hearing Slim Shady with the scratch. then he finally takes over Marshall completely with the last track "With balls in his Durak..." Slim Shady rebirth
This is the best track on the album for me. So MM and Slim rapping together there at the end? Gives me the chills! Shout to ‘My Darling’ where he and his inner demon rapping together. Fire!
As someone who has followed you for years now, it’s great to see how far you have come in just a short time Knox. Great music, the BEST breakdowns online, and that awful dad humour that we all love xD
A technique that has aged like fine wine of changing voice and cadence to rap to yourself (Gimme the Loot, Damien, etc) and Em just takes it to a whole other level. 🫠
17:01 when em goes into harmonized shady voice is always my favorite version. Like on the MM LP “I’m back” “My name is slim shady I’ve been crazy since before radio didn’t play me”
Bro i just looked at your older vids and i have been watching sense mid 2019 and man wow congrats on never giving up man you helped me understand rap and made me want to make music
I gotta say huge thank you to KNOX,CRYPT,DUANE TV, NO LIFE SHAQ,FLAWDZILLA & some others for actually doing what EMINEM asked of everyone meaning LISTEN TO THE ALBUM IN ORDER CUZ IT TELLS A STORY. But alot of people are just disregarding what he asked like SCRU FACE who went completely out of order by doing FUEL right after HABITS all because JID was on it....... Follow the fuckin Rules that EM layed out for the listeners. Thx Knox & those who actually did it
You pointed to the fact that he starts agreeing with Shady and I find it interresting that's when we start hearing the melding of voices, like he's submitting to Shady and turning back into him. Up until that point he's fighting with shady and there's clear distinction between both voices. But it's like he's accepting him at this point. Shady is making valid points. But he shifts from those valid points to ad hominem attacks, starting with "now look at you, now you're just a punk". That's when the the blended voice starts to fade and Em sees Shady is back on his bullshit and starts to resist him again.
Knox, if you listen closer beyond the music, in the beginning at the evil deeds Em reminds Shady of, he does a slight chuckle as if he's proud of his accomplishments. Then later there is a slight scream when he references the Chris Reeves track for some reason. This track gives me chills like My Darling
crazy random thought... this all loops back to "My Darling" Plus there's also another skit on Relapse where he wakes up to another alarm from another dream state. Speaking of My Darling: "...You can't kill a spirit even if you tried to, haha"
This is the track I just keep playing. Absolutely love the internal dialogue and can somewhat relate to it. In addition the scheme when they "merge" is just so amazing to listen to. As always KH I enjoyed the breakdown =)
I love the build up in that track through the "I'm who you used to be" pocket, that blends the old slim shady and eminem voices together (def sounds like doubled vocals), give the vocals so much power.
I think the When I'm Gone playing at the end was pertaining to him waking up from a dream like in the song When I'm Gone when he was also dreaming of "popping Shady" when he punched the mirror. It can also pertain to him choosing his family more than his career therefore killing shady, again like in the When I'm Gone song.
That part where his voice starts to get bigger in the mix, like a bunch of vocal layers slowly coming on, sounds like Shady charging all of his powers to come down on Marshall. I got major chills listening to that
Damn! My mind just got blown today when I realized that the album also can be played backwards. In that track order Slim is killing Marshall instead. 🤯Eminem is a genius! 🔥🔥🔥
MEIJERS as in a michigan food chain Founded in 1934 as a supermarket chain, Meijer is credited with pioneering the modern supercenter concept in 1962. About half of the company's 259 stores are located in Michigan That's diamond sales like sapphires Rap buyers at Meijers, packed lines of admirers
You make me understand tracks wayyyy better, so much shit I miss, you honestly helped me appreciate rap more throughout the years as I’ve become decent at capturing bars :))
Crazy thought about Eminem saying "it's your 3rd" The 3rd amendment right is one that doesn't allow the military to reside in your home during war times. This song is Slim taking Marshall hostage in his own house. It may be a stretch, but Slim wasn't willing to give him the freedom of speech or rights to bare arms at this point.
How is he holding him hostage in his house? Jesus Christ people have missed the point of this album lol. They aren't 2 separate people, there is no house or physical fight, there is no gun, knife or zipties. The battle is in his head, its his sober side fighting his drug addiction (Slim Shady) This song is Eminem accepting he is an addict and controlling his addict side...
20:53 this reminds me of something, I don’t remember what 😅, but where a person was talking to their inner child/ their child-self, and that child was angry. They were angry because of seemingly being rejected by their adult-self, when the reason why they acted that way was to preserve themselves. The adult-version then basically has to acknowledge their younger-self. But, yeah, it feels like Eminem is reconciling with who he was, but it is only a one way reconciliation.
Bruh I just figured out when Em said: “what shot is this? First, second?” And slim replies: “it’s your third” it actually means that this is the third attempt of Eminem killing his alter ego: first time was on when I’m gone, second time on My darling and now on this joint..
That's why you hear Shady say "it's your third" because Shady has been feeding drinks to him throughout the album, you can hear him forcing a drink into Em at the beginning of Trouble.
Each song I listen to becomes my new favourite (and I've listened to all of them several times). This one is my favourite at this particular time on this particular day.
Knox, Napoleon wasn't short for his time period. He was depicted as short by the British because he hated it so much. And, the French inch was slightly longer than the British so his "stated" height would be shorter by British measurements. He was apparently just under 5'6" when the average Frenchman was slightly over 5'5".

Em just proved the only person that can diss him is himself...
And even that way, he still won somehow 😅
where have I heard that one before....

Bad Guy on MMLP2 was still the greatest diss to himself (so far,) cuz he's dissed himself like 3 times now. lol

And still won..lmao what a goat
Shout out to Ghetts

I love that part
he's a comic book fan. and probably a fan of anime too
The master is in session 💯

Hes also admitting part of it was genuine and hateful and wrong though. He basically apologized for the worst stuff
When their voices merge together, all I could hear was "till I collapse" coming out as his aggressive self
It has some "The way I am" vibes too.
Devils’s night, fight music, revelation, my Darling vibes. Straight fire. 🔥🔥
@@GibsonSGJKLI think of it as Eminem channeling the true slim shady from within you could feel that aura it was amazing.
It closely resembles My Darling to me
That background choir in the beginning alone gave me goosebumps, this track is in a league of its own 🔥🔥🔥

The production on this album is on another level. Not everyone gets it tho

It reminds me of the last verse from Bad Guy so much!!! Especially the part when he says "This is for X, Y and Z", naming the people Marshall is avenging, just like Matthew Mitchell was doing by the end of Bad Guy when killing Marshall. I always get goosebumps and tears in my eyes by that point. ❤
@@iulia.bianca.b yes idk why or cant explain the feeling. but i know exactly what ur talking about
Only Em could manage to top Guilty Conscience like this. Absolutely diabolical track. Loved it.
Been waiting for this reaction.
Bro has already recorded all of them. He just doesn't want to release them all at once which kind of pisses me off
Something I noticed about the laugh at the end, it’s the exact laugh that plays at the end of white America right before he says, “I’m just playing America, you know I love you”
Maybe now it’s “I’m just playing shady, you know I love you” 👀
👀
👀
No the laugh is from shady, not marshall, so that means marshall didn't kill shady, he's not dead and alot of people are saying this is a 2 way album, if you listen to it from the last song to the first then shady kills Eminem at the end.
@@Luke_cockholdI have read the theories and I have to agree. They are well put together and make sense unlike some theories. Slim aint dead and Em has more planned with him.
@@Luke_cockhold I actually thought it was Shady kills Em if you interpret correctly from the beginning. That little singing snippet at the end of the record about the Viagra? Pure Shady. Maybe the whole meaning of the thing is that as far as Em's career goes, Marshall''s dead and Shady's going to masquerade as him? (I'm interested to see how far he takes it. If he turns up for interviews bottle blond, then we know what it means.)
LET'S GO I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS, the way he paints the picture of this battle, the way it ties everything together, amazing
Back on relapse he did my darling where he is confronting his addiction/alter ego. So creative how he built these tracks! The way the 2 voices mesh together in the end is just incredible. This album is so meticulously done he is a true addict, addicted to his art.
This may be one of the best mixed albums in history
Been waiting for this. My favourite track off the album. Once he gets to the 3minute mark of the song, it’s crazy how the voices come together and create old skool proper slim shady voice
I was waiting for this one ! The production value on that one is insane ! The mix recipe they used to make Shady and Em's voice standout from each other is insane. And then there's the two of em speaking at the same time !
Knox with you being a dad the song Temporary could definitely make you shed a tear or two, I don’t even have kids and that song brought tears to my eyes
Out of all the songs this is the one I was waiting on for your reaction
eminem single handedly resurected R word in the rap world
Thank god. I’m tired of people using words as a label towards someone. Retarded means slow. HELLA people are slow.
I've been waiting on this breakdown since I heard it. It's possibly my favorite track, definitely the one that caught my ear the most, and then after i listened to the album, I noticed the name of this track.
Slim never died, it was all a dream.
That's why you hear the laugh at the end of the phone call😂
Came here to say this! Lol
I used to read word up magazine
@@usama.002 If you listen to the album backwards Slim actually makes his first appearance in this song. I think the first track (which is the last if you listen to it backwards) is the Renaissance of Slim Shady and he will drop a Side B to this album later.
@@klipo7467 bro thats what i did yesterday, weird how it fits perfectly. Houdini end visuals fall so well onto Roadrage... plus "For my last trick" and also "what you doing? dying our hair"... from there on you start hearing Slim Shady with the scratch. then he finally takes over Marshall completely with the last track "With balls in his Durak..." Slim Shady rebirth
This is the best track on the album for me. So MM and Slim rapping together there at the end? Gives me the chills! Shout to ‘My Darling’ where he and his inner demon rapping together. Fire!
That voices fusion reminds me of “My darling”
As someone who has followed you for years now, it’s great to see how far you have come in just a short time Knox. Great music, the BEST breakdowns online, and that awful dad humour that we all love xD
this track is the peak of this album! you've been keepin' us thirsting Knox lol
13:30 " I think theyve had it up to HEAR with me too"... ear and here play on spelling is an incredible triple. Especially after the last line
I’ve been waiting Knox, for you to breakdown this and appreciate the track for it’s worth
A technique that has aged like fine wine of changing voice and cadence to rap to yourself (Gimme the Loot, Damien, etc) and Em just takes it to a whole other level. 🫠
17:01 when em goes into harmonized shady voice is always my favorite version.
Like on the MM LP “I’m back”
“My name is slim shady I’ve been crazy since before radio didn’t play me”
Bro i just looked at your older vids and i have been watching sense mid 2019 and man wow congrats on never giving up man you helped me understand rap and made me want to make music
I gotta say huge thank you to KNOX,CRYPT,DUANE TV, NO LIFE SHAQ,FLAWDZILLA & some others for actually doing what EMINEM asked of everyone meaning LISTEN TO THE ALBUM IN ORDER CUZ IT TELLS A STORY. But alot of people are just disregarding what he asked like SCRU FACE who went completely out of order by doing FUEL right after HABITS all because JID was on it....... Follow the fuckin Rules that EM layed out for the listeners. Thx Knox & those who actually did it
It's not that big of a deal bro
Scruzino 😂
You pointed to the fact that he starts agreeing with Shady and I find it interresting that's when we start hearing the melding of voices, like he's submitting to Shady and turning back into him. Up until that point he's fighting with shady and there's clear distinction between both voices. But it's like he's accepting him at this point. Shady is making valid points. But he shifts from those valid points to ad hominem attacks, starting with "now look at you, now you're just a punk". That's when the the blended voice starts to fade and Em sees Shady is back on his bullshit and starts to resist him again.
Spiderman vs Venom 😂
"Rear naked chokehold" is an instant classic line.
Knox, if you listen closer beyond the music, in the beginning at the evil deeds Em reminds Shady of, he does a slight chuckle as if he's proud of his accomplishments. Then later there is a slight scream when he references the Chris Reeves track for some reason.
This track gives me chills like My Darling
The production on this album is insane. I love when Slim and Marshall's voice merge and it actually sound like The Eminem Show voice.
When you talked about the chanting, orchestral & cinematic, it reminded me of NF intro 3
crazy random thought... this all loops back to "My Darling" Plus there's also another skit on Relapse where he wakes up to another alarm from another dream state. Speaking of My Darling: "...You can't kill a spirit even if you tried to, haha"
The best song of the album... this and fuel
Yes and Lucifer and antichrist.
nah temporary is so underrated
Don't forget Road Rage and Renaissance
@@BirdBro2temporary is the worst
This is the track I just keep playing. Absolutely love the internal dialogue and can somewhat relate to it. In addition the scheme when they "merge" is just so amazing to listen to. As always KH I enjoyed the breakdown =)
I clicked on this video when it said "30 seconds ago" . Never been here that fast
I love the build up in that track through the "I'm who you used to be" pocket, that blends the old slim shady and eminem voices together (def sounds like doubled vocals), give the vocals so much power.
Another solid reaction/breakdown ❤ Manifesting a MV for this one, what a treat that would be
I've been patiently waiting for you to do this one.
I think the When I'm Gone playing at the end was pertaining to him waking up from a dream like in the song When I'm Gone when he was also dreaming of "popping Shady" when he punched the mirror. It can also pertain to him choosing his family more than his career therefore killing shady, again like in the When I'm Gone song.
The fact you understand and notice all these things, shows us on what level u are. Respect
Been waiting for this one
That part where his voice starts to get bigger in the mix, like a bunch of vocal layers slowly coming on, sounds like Shady charging all of his powers to come down on Marshall. I got major chills listening to that
Your facial expressions during Shady are hilarious. 🤣 So cute! Luv ya, Professor ✌️🫶
This song is a masterpiece!!! Em took us back in time to let us hear late 90s to the mid 2000s Slim Shady! This is freaking awesome!!
Damn! My mind just got blown today when I realized that the album also can be played backwards. In that track order Slim is killing Marshall instead. 🤯Eminem is a genius! 🔥🔥🔥
There are so many holes in that play it in reverse theory
its not, only 2-3 songs have continuity the rest have nothing... but Slim isn't dead
@@brooklyngambaro1578like what? It makes sense and I don’t see any holes in it. At the end of this song he laughs which means he didn’t kill shady.
Eminem fans reach like reed Richards
Plus the songs don’t bleed into each other going backwards. But I get the theory and thinking behind it
MEIJERS as in a michigan food chain
Founded in 1934 as a supermarket chain, Meijer is credited with pioneering the modern supercenter concept in 1962. About half of the company's 259 stores are located in Michigan
That's diamond sales like sapphires
Rap buyers at Meijers, packed lines of admirers
This is the second best song off the album
True
🔥🔥🔥
What's the first?
Fuel and Evil are def top 2
@@esmooth919 For me it's Fuel
Was waiting for your reaction on this track since its published... definitely worth it!!
Been Waiting for the Breakdown Finally🔥
You make me understand tracks wayyyy better, so much shit I miss, you honestly helped me appreciate rap more throughout the years as I’ve become decent at capturing bars :))
Crazy thought about Eminem saying "it's your 3rd"
The 3rd amendment right is one that doesn't allow the military to reside in your home during war times.
This song is Slim taking Marshall hostage in his own house.
It may be a stretch, but Slim wasn't willing to give him the freedom of speech or rights to bare arms at this point.
Nice catch,
How is he holding him hostage in his house? Jesus Christ people have missed the point of this album lol.
They aren't 2 separate people, there is no house or physical fight, there is no gun, knife or zipties.
The battle is in his head, its his sober side fighting his drug addiction (Slim Shady)
This song is Eminem accepting he is an addict and controlling his addict side...
@@jamieboi11people love to dig deep for meaning, and ironically miss it because they're digging up the wrong plot
@@jamieboi11Jesus Christ people don’t understand how double/triple entendres work.
Wow
I love how you break down songs. You catch everything. It's fun to watch.
It’s about time dude!! My flight got cancelled so I’m here at 8:45 drinking screwdrivers listening to this reaction. Life doesn’t get better
It’s always 5 o’clock in the airport
@@obviouslyPSM true story man
You're analysis is unreal...to be able to find the smallest/quietist elements and highlight them!! :)
I don't think that Shady is dead, since if all of this is was a dream, that includes the "murder" of Slim.
Let’s take a moment to appreciate knox for the best Eminem reactions on TH-cam been waiting every day for the next song off the album lol.
24:13 that's exactly how it is, nobody can beat Slim Shady, only Marshall himself !
Bro your videos are top notch! You dissect them in great detail - worth the wait. Keep up the great work homie!
“Rear naked choke hold” is my favorite line in this song 🤣🤣
20:53 this reminds me of something, I don’t remember what 😅, but where a person was talking to their inner child/ their child-self, and that child was angry. They were angry because of seemingly being rejected by their adult-self, when the reason why they acted that way was to preserve themselves. The adult-version then basically has to acknowledge their younger-self. But, yeah, it feels like Eminem is reconciling with who he was, but it is only a one way reconciliation.
The Death of Slim Shady(Coup De Grace) 10/10 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Bruh I just figured out when Em said: “what shot is this? First, second?” And slim replies: “it’s your third” it actually means that this is the third attempt of Eminem killing his alter ego: first time was on when I’m gone, second time on My darling and now on this joint..
FINALLY... I've been waiting for this song!! 😁
This song makes me feel like there are really 2 different person with 2 different personality. 😅
i love that chair screeching sound when shady said "now look at you!" the attention to detail in this song is impeccable!
20:15 yea add on that he mentioned that he sees slim shady in mirrors like in the song my darling and the cover art from ssep
I've been waiting for this!
Omg I just watched Crypt new video, Knox you need to watch it in the reverse order this gave me chills
yep... I saw that and I am going to listen to it that way right now.
Was eagerly waiting for your analysis on this one!
if you listen to this album backwards it's slim shady who kills Eminem and renaissance is an intro to his B side album that's coming out…. 💣
Ever since I heard this song I have been waiting for a video of this song!!! How awesome would that be?!
"This video is sponsored by Chickens, get cooked" 🤣🤣🤣
Awesome breakdown 👌🏻🔥 and the concept of this song is insane Em is a genius!
15:55 “typical shady answer” 😂
I love your Reacts of Eminem and how you take his songs apart. This is my fav song from Em on this album. It might be top three of all time😎
It’s funny how Knox hill and Shaq are fans of eachother 12:26
Been waiting on you to drop the reaction on this one. There’s not a lot of bars to catch but the story telling is next level.
Thats a bold strategy cotton!!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Love it
i feel nobody can catch bars and dissect them like you do you are the man! knox!
Also, his third shot can mean a shot of an alcoholic drink, hence why his speech is slurred and vision blurred
That's why you hear Shady say "it's your third" because Shady has been feeding drinks to him throughout the album, you can hear him forcing a drink into Em at the beginning of Trouble.
Each song I listen to becomes my new favourite (and I've listened to all of them several times). This one is my favourite at this particular time on this particular day.
Knox, Napoleon wasn't short for his time period. He was depicted as short by the British because he hated it so much. And, the French inch was slightly longer than the British so his "stated" height would be shorter by British measurements. He was apparently just under 5'6" when the average Frenchman was slightly over 5'5".
Actually hilarious 😂😂 did the British invent trolling to piss off Napoleon?😂😂😂
@@AJ........ Best trolling is when the Americans dropped huge condoms over a foreign country and wrote "small" on the package.
I read that on the Internet.
HEY, he was actually average height for the time
Why does it feel like I'm always being tortured?
The bad apple spoils the whole orchard
Used to read comic books to learn more words
'Cause deep down I'm a dork, just a core nerd
Meaning nerd to the core 'til I'm cornered
Then I'm the coroner
What shot is this? First, second, it's your third
You're walkin' down a horror corridor
It's almost four in the mornin' and you're in a
Nightmare, it's horrible, right there's the coroner
3 shots
i'm the coroner reference to 3 AM
3 shots 3 split personalities eminem slim and marshall
Man, he hears you, I don't think he cares
He gives a fuck, even his pinky swears
Three personalities burstin' out of me, please beware
3 personalites 3 shots 3 am yup lots of three's 666 which leads to lucifer antichrist and evil
