During an interview Skyler said the label was gonna do the same thing they did with "Love the way you lie" by replacing Skykar with a more known artist, she said Em fought for her on this particular song, he said" We're not taking her off this song" and skylar said that was it....rest is history.
No, it was the monster where Rihanna took someone else’s place. I can’t remember her name. The ooohhhh in the hook is actually the original girl singing on the hook
@@TheChaosGamerWither715 bebe rexha? Cuz I know bebes vocals is said is to be in the hook mixed in with Rihanna's. Em had her perform the song with him on Coachella few years ago, he sent her his private plane to fly her to the location as it was a last hour decision.
In an interview with Skylar Grey after the release of the song she said. "We brought the song and the idea to Marshall and he went and locked himself in a room for a couple of hours and brought back his lines for the song and it was beautiful"
Since seeing this comment 6 months ago, I have seen, read and listened to every single Skylar Grey interview. This quote does not exist. You, my friend, are a liar.
I always took the “…one day I would pay it back” line as if he was going to pay it back to Dre in the way that he would be there for Dre in the way Dre was there for him.
because that's what em meant....dre was the only one that took a chance on em and when dre needed someone to have his back em took up that task....this song is about a bestfriends being there for each other in a time of need
I love when you break down the production and the technicals! You have changed the way I listen to music and I catch so much more because of how you really get into the song. Thanks again Knox for all the videos!
Seriously. I was watching that new show on ABC "Queens" and was able to appreciate some of the bars spit...cause it's about a female rap group..especially Brandy's character
The actual music video brings so much more emotion to the song and makes the song even better because you can see and feel the emotion even more. Love your reactions.
The last few lines of Em's last verse always makes my gut wrench in.. I've listened to quite many rappers from both old n new school and no rapper can express with so much passion like em does.. In His sad songs he never sounds sad but u can hear he fights to sound choked up and it's songs like bad husband and Arose.
What i noticed with each chourus is that the first one sounded haunting the second one sounded like a cry for help and the third one sounded triumphent. Idk just thought that id share my opinion and veiw of this song.
19:09 his passions and love for music is show in that single second in that single moment without him telling you “I’m passionate about music I love music”
Fun fact about this song, when I was in elementary school, some students wanted to do a circus like perfomance to this song. When they started to present it, one of the student injured herself (nothing too bad) at the second "I need a doctor". They had to stop their performance, and I always thought it was so ironic.
I can't wait to see Em and Dre at the superbowl halftime show! They have such a cool friendship. I grew up listening to them both. Legends to the game! Also back in August of this year....I read rumors of Dre supposedly working on releasing a 4th studio album? Have you heard anything Knox? 🤞
When Em says , “I told the world one day I would pay it back” …. He means “pay it back” to Dre as the doc made him a household name and when dre needed to get out of his rut, Em volunteered to feature .
This song really shows you why Eminem was so quick to stop the beef with Snoop. Em tells Dre that there won't be nothing more cause Dre was in the hospital and didn't want to see his friends going at it and Em put his guns away immediately.
At the beginning of the song when he says I told the world one day I would pay it back you went on about paying the world back for the pain he went through or just having money I've always seen that line as paying Dre back especially when later on in the song he mentions trying to save Dre's life but what Dre did for him was way more other than that great analysis love your videos
This was was an emotional song between two great friends. Skyler has an amazing voice, so powerful. I always learn from Eminem's music. professor of bar's Knox hill I'm learning so much about music and so much more about lyrics and the production of music from you man. What a fantastic breakdown. stay safe until next time
I love your reactions Knox! You can tell how much Em loves Dre in this song 💕 he respects and admires him so much. I love it! Dre lost his son and got lost and Em is helping bring him back to the light 🙏🏻
Knox pls do ‘In Your Head’ from Revival. One of Em’s sickest rhyme schemes and further proves that Revival is a good album! Fits with the Halloween theme as well!
@knoxhill thank you for doing this song; i listen to this song/watch the video and i get teary eyed cus u can feel and hear EM’S real feelings towards DRE and then DRE thanking EM for sticking by him all these years.. much love and respect
was waiting forever fo you to do this !!! Your attention to production is impeccable. I'd love it, specially when right before the next line when they dropped Skylar Grey and brought her right backup when Dre jumped on. Awesome job man as always. You are Knox Hill certified. Hopefully I can make the next live. I owe you some money. LOL. I was screwing around with the nations. Harry Mac. After what you dropped yesterday again. I've already seen them video more than once, but. You know just as well as I do when he did 18, it was something completely different and he wasn't scared. And even if you was, he took that challenge and he owned it.
literally dropped 22 minutes ago, at the time of writing this. Knox kills all breakdowns. Love your work dude. the video you were thinking of Knox was Without Me from the Eminem Show. it's where he's dressed up like Robin and Dre as Batman, and where he dressed like Elvis and was standing on a turd log in the toilet.
Knox KNOCKS it out of the park yet again! Every single Em breakdown you do I get a newfound appreciation for the song. There’s so many small things that you point out that make the track that much better. It’s amazing what you do man. Keep on keeping on💯🔥
It’s so dope that they have the type of friendship where Em makes a song like this and Dre takes part in the music video. And Dre was looking great. Healthy, muscular, back together. Em and Dre have taken turns lifting each other up over the years. True friendship. Dope.
I've been listening to you for awhile now. I stopped listening to others cause they don't got what we want to hear as far as the way you break down. Thanks from all of us. You're on another level
Chaos theory was fire king Knox! Worth twice what I paid. Thanks. Having said that, your knowledge and breakdowns of hip hop is second to none on TH-cam or anywhere I can find!
This was such a awesome reaction thx Knox. For breaking down every bar. 🙌🏼🔥 This music video is also dppe and has a lot of emotions. I literally started cry while watching it. Because you can feel the pain and Emotions in Both of there Voice's. The bars are also insain And you can't forget about Skyler 😌 she fits the Chorus perfectly.
I think the Payback line in the beginning is referring to him giving back something to Dr.Dre after he signed him, inspired him, helped him to get where he is now.
Your one of the best reviewers of music and videos I've seen of all time just want to give you your flowers brother you always know what's being portrayed and the message being sent!!
Knox, I’ve seen all of your reactions to any song that eminem might even just be mentioned , and I do believe you’re the best at breaking his rhymes ! I would ask you to please go for ‘rabbit run’ next ! It’s my favourite Em song ! Keep it going , you’re the best ! Thanks for your work ! Love from Portugal
Essa música é genial, top3 pra mim dele com 8 mile e ridaz/algumas outras. O jeito que ele rima é absurdo, as rimas são geniais. Bom, Marshall puto é sempre bom
I know you by skylar from 50 shades of grey soundtrack is prolly my fave of hers.. The chorus n almost at the end when she goes "so please" But stretches the word out in up n down notes always gives me chills. And I'm not the type into love ballads.. But this song hits different n can be related to other things as well
Love your reactions and breakdowns. No one does it better thank you!! Would love you to review the song with the video, it’s so emotional and adds more meaning to the words.
Ive just found your channel, you are so fascinating to watch. Listening to how you dissect the lyrics and explain the meaning of every word/line. Wow just fantastic. Thank you for all the amazing content. And I will definitely be checking out your music.
Man, I really misheard a few lines in this track. I used to think the line "See this light in you?" sounded like "Demons fighting you." But honestly, I don't think that is too far off either. Either way, shows that this song really has different meaning than what I've been used to for all the years that I've listened to this. Still, this song is amazing.
Nah, I think "demons fightin' you" is correct. The line before that one says "before the life of me" when it seems pretty clear to me that it's actually "but for the life of me". There's a few issues with the lyrics in this video.
Actually, I've never listened no body, no artist in the music industry, to pay (musically) homage and to express gratitude to his/her own mentor, or to who has supported to his/her own carrier, as Eminem does !!! Respect !!!
Nobody should underestimate how valuable your (king Knox) contribution to rap is. You make music, as an artist. You draw them in, educate them with breakdowns, yielding Millennials who crave Lyricism!
I love this track so much. One of my absolute favorites. Finally you do the Song, Knox! 🙏 Thank you so much for doing what you do for us. 💛 Always want to hear your thoughts on this!
For some reason I had always thought that you already did this but as I went back I thought no. I think there was others in the feed but nothing from here. I was actually surprised! 🤘😎

Yes many doors opened for her as an artist after this
No, it was the monster where Rihanna took someone else’s place. I can’t remember her name. The ooohhhh in the hook is actually the original girl singing on the hook
@@TheChaosGamerWither715 love the way you lie skylar wrote that hook and was replaced by rihhana

Can you tell me which interview? That seems like a cool interview to listen to

Yeah what interview is that
Since seeing this comment 6 months ago, I have seen, read and listened to every single Skylar Grey interview. This quote does not exist. You, my friend, are a liar.
@@Largentina. im sure you did bud
This hook is so damn underrated. Skylar Grey is so talented with hooks. One of my all time favourite tracks
There is so much emotion in Eminem’s words. I cry every time especially 2nd Verse at the end. Like fuq bro
Yeah this song really pulls on your heart strings
I always took the “…one day I would pay it back” line as if he was going to pay it back to Dre in the way that he would be there for Dre in the way Dre was there for him.
because that's what em meant....dre was the only one that took a chance on em and when dre needed someone to have his back em took up that task....this song is about a bestfriends being there for each other in a time of need
@@jazzinwithjazzy considering the framing of the words around it ... I don't think so
I love when you break down the production and the technicals! You have changed the way I listen to music and I catch so much more because of how you really get into the song. Thanks again Knox for all the videos!
Seriously. I was watching that new show on ABC "Queens" and was able to appreciate some of the bars spit...cause it's about a female rap group..especially Brandy's character
FACTS
Word
True mate
Em seems like he is one of the most loyal people to his friends and is respectful unless you cross a line.
This song is just perfect. It portraits how two persons relationship is stronger than having many fake friends.
Another great reaction, Knox as always
This is probably my favorite Eminem song. It's such a heartfelt tribute to Dre and the video is a year jerker every time.
The actual music video brings so much more emotion to the song and makes the song even better because you can see and feel the emotion even more. Love your reactions.
That bridge that leads into Dre's verse is heart wrenching and skylar did it justice😊
The last few lines of Em's last verse always makes my gut wrench in.. I've listened to quite many rappers from both old n new school and no rapper can express with so much passion like em does.. In His sad songs he never sounds sad but u can hear he fights to sound choked up and it's songs like bad husband and Arose.

Your story reminds me of Eminem's Like Toy Soldier. Yeah... It creeps me out when I hear these kind of stories.
really?...thats something really rare to witness
I can't wait to see Em and Dre at the superbowl halftime show! They have such a cool friendship. I grew up listening to them both. Legends to the game!
Also back in August of this year....I read rumors of Dre supposedly working on releasing a 4th studio album? Have you heard anything Knox? 🤞
After the lost a son verse, when he says "see this light in you", I always hear "demons fighting you." it's crazy I never read the lyrics beforehand.
It's definitely "demons fighting you". Don't know where he got this lyric video from
Thanks knox my free period was just getting boring. Appreciate it.
Period is always free. wdym?
@@floxkx What?
lol same, too many free periods in this sixth form
LoL probably he meant "free time" for example in other languages like Spanish you say "tengo este período de tiempo libre"
When Em says , “I told the world one day I would pay it back” …. He means “pay it back” to Dre as the doc made him a household name and when dre needed to get out of his rut, Em volunteered to feature .
THANK GOD YOU’RE HERE!
Nah
This song really shows you why Eminem was so quick to stop the beef with Snoop. Em tells Dre that there won't be nothing more cause Dre was in the hospital and didn't want to see his friends going at it and Em put his guns away immediately.
Yea it’s what a good man will do in life we the first to step up. I’ve always liked them three but I find snoop imature lol.
@@rz_synz6052 Snoop is immature, idk why he still glorifies violence, unironically
The live performance of this when em gets up and introduces dre back to the stage after a long time was iconic
OH GOD! Yes!!! The LOVE i have for this song is unreal. Thank you Knox🙏👏
At the beginning of the song when he says I told the world one day I would pay it back you went on about paying the world back for the pain he went through or just having money I've always seen that line as paying Dre back especially when later on in the song he mentions trying to save Dre's life but what Dre did for him was way more other than that great analysis love your videos

Every time I hear Eminem's verse on this, it gives me goosebumps..
Thanks Knox for breaking this up for us.
Every time i hear the beeps before Dre’s verse i get goosebumps
I love your reactions Knox! You can tell how much Em loves Dre in this song 💕 he respects and admires him so much. I love it! Dre lost his son and got lost and Em is helping bring him back to the light 🙏🏻
Niiiiice, Knox!
This is definitely one of my favorite songs, ever.
Keep killing it, King!
👑🖤👑
Knox pls do ‘In Your Head’ from Revival. One of Em’s sickest rhyme schemes and further proves that Revival is a good album! Fits with the Halloween theme as well!
Yes yes yes!
“Framed” would be a great fit too!
Yes
Revival is one of ems best lyrically, just suffers from some bad singing and bad production at spots so people pretend it’s a trash album
Omgggg I have tears in my eyes EMINEM YOU ARE AMAZING THE BEST
@knoxhill thank you for doing this song; i listen to this song/watch the video and i get teary eyed cus u can feel and hear EM’S real feelings towards DRE and then DRE thanking EM for sticking by him all these years.. much love and respect
1st chorus : voice
2nd chorus : drums + guitar
3rd chorus : drums + piano
4rd chorus : drums + guitar + piano

Headlights and I need a doctor is one of the saddest Em songs. So heartfelt.
When im gone: Am I' a whole joke to you?
That Eminem and Dre superhero video you were talking about is called without me
Knox KNOCKS it out of the park yet again! Every single Em breakdown you do I get a newfound appreciation for the song. There’s so many small things that you point out that make the track that much better. It’s amazing what you do man. Keep on keeping on💯🔥

Love this song! The third Eminem song that I learned word for word
and anothe reason why everyone got jacked cause of Dr.Dre
I've been listening to you for awhile now. I stopped listening to others cause they don't got what we want to hear as far as the way you break down. Thanks from all of us. You're on another level
THANK YOU. THIS SONG MEANS SO MUCH TO ME. IT'S PERFECT.
Another great one, Knox. Love your breakdowns, as always.
I'm surprised that he missed the Grey and ray choice of words as in Skylar grey.
DR Dre NEVER SAW COLOR, HE SAW WHAT WAS TRULY IN A AND OR HUMAN BEING, WE ALL ARE ONE.... EMINEM THE G.O.A.T of ALL
Chaos theory was fire king Knox! Worth twice what I paid. Thanks. Having said that, your knowledge and breakdowns of hip hop is second to none on TH-cam or anywhere I can find!
Knox you should look at relapse,
Stay Wide Awake, Bagpipes from Baghdad, and Tonya(skit) + Same Song and Dance are great songs.
Don’t forget My Darling and 3AM.
This was such a awesome reaction thx Knox. For breaking down every bar. 🙌🏼🔥 This music video is also dppe and has a lot of emotions. I literally started cry while watching it. Because you can feel the pain and Emotions in Both of there Voice's. The bars are also insain
And you can't forget about Skyler 😌 she fits the Chorus perfectly.
I've been waiting for this reaction to finally drop. I'm surprised this song was not done sooner.
U gotta go see the music video for this bro its even deeper and a tribute to eazy
I think the Payback line in the beginning is referring to him giving back something to Dr.Dre after he signed him, inspired him, helped him to get where he is now.
love this one Knox :)
can't wait for more ERBs to drop and ur reaction
I love this song I am so happy they kept her on this song I love her voice her and Eminem sound great together
Your one of the best reviewers of music and videos I've seen of all time just want to give you your flowers brother you always know what's being portrayed and the message being sent!!
Dre and Em should have a comic book of their own just in the lab creating crazy things because their synergy is hella dope
The video is defo needed for this song from the intro to Dre waking up
Still good work as usual
I like how the snare hits on the second and fourth beats of each measure. It gives the beat a very unique feel
I NEED A DOCTOR is such a classic
Knox, I’ve seen all of your reactions to any song that eminem might even just be mentioned , and I do believe you’re the best at breaking his rhymes ! I would ask you to please go for ‘rabbit run’ next ! It’s my favourite Em song !

Great job Knox. Also when Eminem says “hope, i just need a ray of that, cause no one sees my vision…” possibly a Ray Charles shoutout
Love your reactions and breakdowns. No one does it better thank you!!
Would love you to review the song with the video, it’s so emotional and adds more meaning to the words.
And let me remind you, this is ten years after he said "Give me one more platinum plaque and fuck rap, you can have it back.".

Another amazing video Knox an great breakdown 👏🏻🔥
could the "one day I would pay it back" line also be saying one day he will pay back dre for all dre has done for him?
