48:33 if he's a million leagues above them, then they're a million leagues beneath him. Edit* it's only used for water, but- if he's a God and in the heavens they're beneath the crust of the Earth, he furthers the nautical reference with *eels* "the sea creature". Just for reference the Earth's diameter is only 2293.373 leagues the moon is only 69199.475 leagues from earth (he over shot that) ←if you take it full circle in the beginning, he was shooting for the Moon, but now has passed it, as in he never imagined he would get this far. ★yes, his word play also cycles beginning and end of song. lol he truly is to damn nice.★ edit2 you'll also notice that he crashed to Earth like a falling star then ascended, this works with the angel and devil play, a fallen angel striving to get back to heaven. The devil was once an angel.
I worked at Shady Records and was Marshalls Bodyguard whenever he came to NYC . He is one of the sweetest people you are ever gonna meet. Bright , funny and thoughtful. And extremely intelligent.
@@razorgarcia298 that’s the greatest response as proof that I’ve ever seen on here; and exactly the response someone would come back with when they’re telling the truth. How do I know that? Unlike some on here, I actually AM intelligent, and have a masters in social work and a minor in psychology. Pretty good at evaluating human behavior. But more importantly, as a further example of ACTUAL intelligence, I use correct grammar and my sentences make sense; unlike some claiming intelligence on here. 😂
Old Eminem wasn't a better rapper technically, but he was more raw and I think that's what a lot of people are attracted to. Rawness and emotion. Obviously Em is 50 now and has matured personally and musically. You can't fake living a hard lifestyle and rapping about your struggles when you've been living good for as long as he has now. People have to respect what he's good at these days, not compare him to his old music.
@@PPG61st You're getting overly defensive for no reason. There hasn't been an Em album I haven't liked yet. I don't like all the songs, but that doesn't make me a fake or wishy washy fan. Get a grip bro.
I find it so interesting that people are not even comparing him to other rappers. They are basically comparing him to himself. Like the only person who can beat him is him. No one else is up to his level. LOL
"The only hall of Fame I'll be in is the alcohol of fame on the wall of shame!" hits harder now that Eminem WAS inducted to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this week!
In my opinion he does simple punchlines bc other lines are going over people's heads so he plays a nice guy and under hand tosses a few to the listeners
This one was so different for me. Cause it demonstrates that you actually take this seriously and listen with a different level of attention to music in a reaction. Hearing you say, (paraphrasing) " I just noticed, this or that) was gold for me. Great breakdown and insight as always Bruv!!!!!
Someone in your chat mentioned this but I want to elaborate. When Eminem dies, he is going to be looked at like Elvis and Michael Jackson. The greats become immortalized when they pass away but Em is damn near immortalized now. This man is literally a living legend in hip-hop.
Facts! 💯 Em is already a living legend & the greatest to ever do it. He’s cemented his legacy but when he’s sadly gone is when he’ll get the most recognition.
Looking boy is another nod to his older fans like me. The way he slowed it down. I’ve been an Em fan my entire life. When he released rap god, it was his way of showing everyone how elevated he became. How much he had grown and worked on his craft. Yes, I am an OG fan, still listen to him daily, but Em has only gotten better. He’s in a league of his own, truly. I think most people try to invalidate his talent bc he’s such a legend that if you like him, you’re somehow not a true rap fan or you’re just following what everyone else likes. When in reality, he’s just one of those legends born into a generation that blessed the world with his talent.
He foreshadowed his own Rock n Rock hall of fame induction. I love that he said what he said in this song about the R&R hall of fame and then went on to read off all the artists that were his teachers when giving his speech at the induction ceremony.
Man I just love the effort you guys put into the reactions and breakdowns. You actually listen to the words, try to understand, even google the references you're not aware of and that's some dedication right there. No lazy ass reactions and you show appreciation for the things you now realize are way better/in depth than you thought they were and that alone deserves 1M subs.
When you all started talking Elvis, something struck me. How awesome my life has been in music. I got to witness Elvis alive. The entirety of Michael Jackson from Off the Wall to the end. I have been able to witness Eminem as well. These are 3 untouchable pillars of their respective genres. (Rock, Pop, and Rap) It makes my mind numb sometimes thinking of the music and artists I got to see first hand as they came and blew up. From 1975 to 2023.
I didn't even know this until the most recent Superbowl, but it's awesome how the biggest, craziest, supersonic fast part of this song is a big shout to an older rap group called J J Fad. Check out the last part of J J Fad's "Supersonic". Some of it is verbatim what they say, and he literally calls it out talking about supersonic speed, and a deep voice says says ""JJ Fad" right before he unleashes it, not to mention their dancing silhouette from the Supersonic video pops up on the screen. In fact, this whole song seems like a huge shout-out to rappers that came before. I almost wonder if this song isn't just "declaring himself THE Rap God", but also very much paying respects to the Rap God's that came before him. To me anyway.
“Summa lamma” is Em paying homage to the lyrics in JJ fades supersonic. Even tho Em literally says jj fade right before he goes into the speed verse people still think he’s saying gibberish 😤 what’s incredible about rapgod is he’s paying homage to many hiphop ogs throughout the song while storytelling a angel vs demon/ right vs wrong theme & ofc showing off his skills with flow changes, multi syllable rhyme schemes & double entendres and it’s still a no.1 hit record that’s fun to sing along to & get you hype. Very impressive for an MC to achieve. It’s not ems most meaningful ofc like rock bottom or arose but it’s him having fun wid’it & proving why he’s the rap god 🐐
Im suprised the looking boy verses stumped on this one, refers to the hot stylez and yung joc song-looking boy, sooo clever , im a little older than flawd but figured he would know this one keep up the good reactions, people r finally starting to recognize how good Em really is, its insane what his fan base could be if the younger gen were to hear him, this boy different, what other rapper do you literally have to google verses to understand them???? Insane! hes on his own level which is unreachable for other rappers so far!!!!
"If you were half as nice as me you could sacrifice virgins too" He's saying that he's so powerful in rap that someone with half his skill would still be a rap god
I would be surprized if it turned out that Em DIDN'T have a ridiculously high I.Q.... This song to me feels like the testimony of someone who is extremely smart and talented and frustrated with the world, especially less smart or skilled people who still criticise him after he proved himself several times over. It's brilliant, The final word on hs merit, and I can't imagine anyone could despute that. Honestly, it gives me chills, and that's the mark of good art, when it affects you like that. ...jus' sayin'.
I agree to a certain extent like his creative mindset is on a whole other level and it has only evolved into something that no one has been able to top as a person as a human being I think he is kind of trash but that doesn't change him being a mastermind with lyrics
The character Em is playing here is based on Max Headroom, an old show where a computer program character is the lead character. Look it up when you get a sec.
I love the way he puts that together you're so gay I can barely say it with a straight face the play on gay and straight I love this man is incredible everytime I listen to One it y'all breakdowns out of here one more thing it's awesome
ya breakdown made me realize how much i love this song, and I cant fathom this not being in my top 5 Em song, that is how great the song is...and the breakdown is a great wake up call to how talented Em is... love that leader of the new school part breakdown
He told that story to make "Ray gun" an analogy... Ray j was so mad at Fab, he (Ray) was so angry his "GUN" (a gun owned by Ray = Ray-gun) would have been a dangerous weapon at that time.
It's funny. I am following Eminem/Slim Shady since "The Marshal Matters LP". It took 18 years for him to wrap it up into just a single song. He IS the Rap God!
The "rappers are having a rough time period here's a maxi-pad it's actually disasterly bad" is a reference to the rap battle between Cannibis and Dizaster. Bis got worked over to a point where he couldn't remember any punch lines so he broke out a pad of punch lines/book of rhymes and recited the rest of the battle by way of notes. One of the cringiest things to have happened in the rap game. Dizaster obviously won.
I remember 24 years ago rolling through LongBeach and two Crips pulled up at a stoplight playing Eminem and they were numbing it and I knew then that Eminem was going to be huge! crossed all the barriers and got all the respect from the beginning! he grew up poor in the hood just like we all did,I grew up in a neighborhood. Some of my best friends were black and Latino we played ball together we listened to rap together it’s bigger than us all! that’s the beauty of music it unifies, Eminem did what he did Tupac did what he did biggie did what he did, they all did it the best they could do it,I don’t consider any of them to be the best. They’re just the best at being who they are.🐃 but wordplay, I don’t know very many off the top of my head that are this insane photographic, memory and imagination💨
Amazing breakdown as always. Also, I think the Ray J story is to explain what he’s about to do with the fast part of the song..like saying this is the part that will get all that attention the way the breakfast club clip went viral
I think Eminem has to be the G.O.A.T. base on how he can tell a story in so many different ways that only he can do it all the time and willingly to try different styles. So sick.
Eminem could've been referencing Macklemore when he says "gay lil boy" bars...since many compared Macklemore to Eminem...also was around the time Macklemore released the song that had said "when I was in the 3rd grade I thought that I was gay". Also saying he's the Elvis of Rap is extremely accurate considering both of their upbringings and success
It’s crazy how he said he wont be inducted in the hall of fame and many years later he did get inducted! He must have been so happy when it happened. He’s very hard on himself clearly 🙏
I love this song, absolutely. From the beat, everything he talked about and was going through at that time. This song was a invitation to anyone who think they could step in the ring with him and beat him, nahhh. Will always be one of my favorites from MMLP2.
Thank your for saying Em now is the best he’s ever been hate when people say old Em was way better maybe they resonate with you more but lyrically he’s the best he’s ever been
He’s hands down the best ever to do any kind of music. No one can do what does! He’s just diffrent! It’s shock rap! You hold on to every single word he says in every song! His double ontongs and word play and story telling! No one can touch EM! I think he made a deal with the devil or he’s an alien!
@@FlawdTV don’t cry just go to hip hop school. Up your knowledge of the culture is very weak and it shows in your break downs. Been listening to rap since before Curtis Blow and Cool Moe De had beef. This may sound harsh but it’s the greatest advice you’ll ever get for this path you’ve chosen.
I'm so glad you mentioned the "you be Thor and I'll be Odin" line... You think you're good but I'm your dad and I'm son'in you.. "You rodent., I'm omnipotent" is ridiculous not just because it is a ridiculous statement to make but how the words rhyme.., the sound and the flow.. This guy is the best poet to have ever and will ever walk this earth..
Here's the thing. Shady is old school. His methods are simple and to the point. Like 2pac and Biggie. He didn't need complicated punchlines to hit hard. He was skilled PERIOD.
YALL TOO RIGHT BRO... ART IS FROM GOD AND DESTRUCTION IS FROM SATAN SO I TRUELY BELIEVE THAT SHADY IS AN ANGEL SINCE U WAS BORN IN 91 HE AIN'T TOLD ONE LIE SO LET'S STAY TRUE WITH MARSHALL LEGEND MATHERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND GOD BLESS YOU BOTH FOR ALL THIS AMAZING BADASS CONTENT. ........MUCH LOVE, KOLTON POPE LUFKIN, TEZAS
Max headroom is even a play on his genius. Max headroom, meaning he's got the biggest dome or brain. The columbine reference is also a play on how his rap lyrics were blamed for the columbine shooting.
I've probably listened to this song 100 times and I NEVER caught the "mass occur" double (triple?). This dude just never stops making my brain explode....
If you like the way he shouted out those legends, listen to Yah Yah from Music to be murdered by. That shit's crazy for real. Dope reaction, keep it up.
The character 'Max Headroom' from the TV show was named that because it's how the main character in the show died. He crashed on his motorcycle into a raising barricade(the bad guys activated to stop him) and he flew into the level arm in the garage which had a sign on it, which was the last thing he saw 'Max Headroom' and a height limit, killing him. His brain was downloaded by a tech genius and put into an AI program.
Ok for the reference to the gods in pagan religions, what he is saying is, if you were as nice as the songs say you are, those songs would be loved enough that people, humans, will sacrifice virgins to it. Because in ancient pagan cultures, human sacrifices would be made to honor a particular god. Because the bar is “your songs would be good enough to sacrifice virgins to.” Meaning, more people would love and worship you, like a god, if you were a better person. Also, in pagan religions Odin is what is considered the God, among gods, no one is higher then him. He’s also the god that warriors, men and women, love most and who they fight to please. Also he mentions Rodin I think, he is in the Catholic religion and he is known as the Hand of God.
The diss was to Waka Flacka. Thats why the beat changed to the ABC Rap Type Beat then also ull notice that they show the "Pong" reference in the background during those bars. Also Waka Flaka Flame was his Full Rap name. That's where the flame references come into play. And also the reference he starts with is "Waka Plank n', tell me wtf is you thinkin'. " lol wow his bars are nuts. Love yall. Keep up the great content!
Leagues as in depth as in he's dealing with more pressure than everyone else because the deeper you go the more pressure you take. That's what I got from it, so I think that's god level cryptic lyrics.
LOL People have been loving elvis when he was alive because at that time he was controversial and made actual cool and modern music. once he dies he was already a legend before and almost became a god. Eminem is the same. new / modern and offensive music and being a god during his livetime. he will live on forever even past his death and become the one and only. facts! enjoy him while you still can!
I love this channel, this one, knox hill and stevie knight are the S-tier channels that actually catch bars. I love intelligent channels ❤ plz never stop you guys are amazing!
The discussion about who he’s going at starting at marker 28:15 is actually NF. NF responds on the song “Remember this”. “Perfect people don’t exist so don’t pretend to be one” referencing the song Rapgod he then states “I don’t need pats on the back from people for my achievements” check it out!
Literally nobody ever says anything about the homage to "The Show" by Doug E Fresh and Slick Rick in the song intro. "Six minutes, Slim Shady, you're on" is the shout out. And no frame of reference whatsoever for Max Headroom. Throwing the New Coke reference into the explanation was never gonna help. 😂 It blows my mind how many rap legends he pays tribute to, and nobody even knows. He says: "Cause I use it as a vehicle to Bus the rhyme" "Now I lead a new school full of students" Busta Rhymes hit the scene in 1989 as a member of Leaders of the New School. Random bonus fact: Busta really found his voice and outgrew Leaders of the New School when that group collaborated with A Tribe Called Quest in 1991 on the song "Scenario." The direct shout out to JJ Fad's "Supersonic", down to flashing the shadow of the dancer from their video. I could go on and on. This song is all about paying respect to everyone who came before him and showed him how to do the damn thing. Then he performed this song when he was inducted into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame and spent his whole acceptance speech reading the names of the greats that came before him. "I make elevated music, you make elevator music." Pssshh. He's brilliant. Class act.
Em is the music equivalent of TV's South Park - he's raw as fuck, but he goes for everyone equally. And while people/media may come for him swinging, he's untouchable, because he does not give a fuck and he doesnt Need them. That's why Em can do whatever he want and get away with it, because he's just That good and his Heart is always in the right place.
Speaking of Elvis of rap you should react to bad meets evil - all I think about. Eminem has a FIRE bar about being compared to Elvis. I won’t spoil the bar for you but it’s flamesssssssss
So, a lot of this track is directed at Weird Al. The bars you were missing out on (and the second layer of some that you caught) are disses thrown at Weird Al, and Weird Al fans like myself, partially to finally respond to Weird Al about their beef concerning his parody of “Lose Yourself,” and the mock interview he “conducted with Eminem” to replace the music video that would have been made, had Eminem not declined Al’s permission request on it. In the interview, Al makes it seem like Em is gay, and also makes it seem like Eminem hates Al’s parody, criticizing the musical skill of the track, and Al slams him by saying, “I could only change the words.” The 3 main subjects overall for this track are Weird Al, MTV (and the televised media in general), and censorship, throwing in his issues with the government (like when the secret service questioned him over whether his lyrics were an actual threat on Clinton’s life).
45:46 What you’re missing is that is a line directed at Al. Previously, Eminem didn’t take Al seriously, for obvious reasons of silliness. Al’s Madonna parody of “Like a Virgin,” “Like a Surgeon,” is one of the things that started launching his career, and Al made a new album, Straight Outta Lynwood, obviously a play on NWA (who Em is representing hard in this track), in 2006. Eminem has dabbled in rapping several times throughout his career, and “White and Nerdy” from that album blew up way harder than Chamillionaire’s original track. A common response from Al fans is that when they’re singing along to one of the songs he’s parodied, that we slip accidentally into Al’s parody’s lyrics instead. “I don’t know how to make songs like that, I don’t know what words to use,” is a shot at Al, saying that sentence in a mocking tone (as if he was saying what Al says at this point in his critique), that also references and rebuttals the praise of us inadvertently slipping Al’s lyrics into originals. “Lemme know when it occurs to you, while I’m ripping any one of these verses that versus you (diverse as you),” is what he’s saying back to Al, but also showing some respect as an artist to Al, since Al is super diverse with his music, but he’s saying he’s more diverse. “It’s curtains, I’m inadvertently hurting you,” he’s saying to other rappers who felt the sting of the last bar, whom he is inadvertently also criticizing, while ripping into Weird Al. He’s also playing off of the surgical curtains from Al’s Madonna parody to set up the next part, since surgery, blood, and gore is in Eminem’s wheelhouse as well. Also he’s telling Al to retire, saying “it’s curtains for you.” “How many verses I gotta murder to prove that if you were half as nice, your songs, you could sacrifice virgins, too?” Here he’s finally actually referencing the Madonna parody, and twisting it into a possible future Eminem album title, “Songs you could sacrifice virgins to.” He is calling himself a Rap God, and people have sacrificed virgins to appease the gods. There are many other parts of this song that I felt the sting of, as an Al fan, but I’ll stop for now to avoid spoilers for those who want to relisten to this track with Al in mind, so they can catch their own bars. Anyone still reading this (why?), please come back and compare notes if you want to, I hope there are additional bars I still haven’t caught.
@@FlawdTV Only because you don’t know it to be true yet. It’s true, the Virgin bar seems like a reach. The more obvious ones include “poodle, ramen noodle, normal, Rapunzel with cornrows, elevator music,” and others.
When is talking about the ray gun from the future is a transition for the fast part… He literally saying that his going to kill them all with this futuristic style, etc… That is what I understand from that…

This is one of the best and most simply put ways I’ve seen to describe Eminem’s current musical situation and reception from fans right now.
I'd say old Eminem was more relateable to real life situations, thus establishing the solid fanbase.
I find it so interesting that people are not even comparing him to other rappers. They are basically comparing him to himself. Like the only person who can beat him is him. No one else is up to his level. LOL

Here for the Eminem reactions. Loving them so far! Thanks for reacting!
It's cool youre finally on eminem. Best friend is his #1 song imo still. Gotta check it out
It’s definitely one of his best verses! I couldn’t even understand some of it until I’d listened 3 or 4 times, lol!
I love the way he puts that together you're so gay I can barely say it with a straight face the play on gay and straight I love this man is incredible everytime I listen to One it y'all breakdowns out of here one more thing it's awesome
People don't like eminem because he's too smart. His ability to hide things is too deep for most people anymore who only care about beats.
@BrandoBeamz on one of his dumbed down songs too lol.
ya breakdown made me realize how much i love this song, and I cant fathom this not being in my top 5 Em song, that is how great the song is...and the breakdown is a great wake up call to how talented Em is... love that leader of the new school part breakdown
🫡 salute bruv!
Good breakdown Eminem’s a beast
You gotta do "Best friend" by Yelowolf ft. Em
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Yes that is my favourite song and the video is amazing
He told that story to make "Ray gun" an analogy... Ray j was so mad at Fab, he (Ray) was so angry his "GUN" (a gun owned by Ray = Ray-gun) would have been a dangerous weapon at that time.
It's funny. I am following Eminem/Slim Shady since "The Marshal Matters LP". It took 18 years for him to wrap it up into just a single song. He IS the Rap God!
The "rappers are having a rough time period here's a maxi-pad it's actually disasterly bad" is a reference to the rap battle between Cannibis and Dizaster. Bis got worked over to a point where he couldn't remember any punch lines so he broke out a pad of punch lines/book of rhymes and recited the rest of the battle by way of notes. One of the cringiest things to have happened in the rap game. Dizaster obviously won.
I remember 24 years ago rolling through LongBeach and two Crips pulled up at a stoplight playing Eminem and they were numbing it and I knew then that Eminem was going to be huge! crossed all the barriers and got all the respect from the beginning! he grew up poor in the hood just like we all did,I grew up in a neighborhood. Some of my best friends were black and Latino we played ball together we listened to rap together it’s bigger than us all! that’s the beauty of music it unifies, Eminem did what he did Tupac did what he did biggie did what he did, they all did it the best they could do it,I don’t consider any of them to be the best. They’re just the best at being who they are.🐃 but wordplay, I don’t know very many off the top of my head that are this insane photographic, memory and imagination💨
Amazing breakdown as always.
Also, I think the Ray J story is to explain what he’s about to do with the fast part of the song..like saying this is the part that will get all that attention the way the breakfast club clip went viral
I think Eminem has to be the G.O.A.T. base on how he can tell a story in so many different ways that only he can do it all the time and willingly to try different styles. So sick.
Eminem could've been referencing Macklemore when he says "gay lil boy" bars...since many compared Macklemore to Eminem...also was around the time Macklemore released the song that had said "when I was in the 3rd grade I thought that I was gay".
Also saying he's the Elvis of Rap is extremely accurate considering both of their upbringings and success
My heart hurt when you said his punch lines are simple 😢 so much deep meaning in what he says.
It’s crazy how he said he wont be inducted in the hall of fame and many years later he did get inducted! He must have been so happy when it happened. He’s very hard on himself clearly 🙏
I love this song, absolutely. From the beat, everything he talked about and was going through at that time. This song was a invitation to anyone who think they could step in the ring with him and beat him, nahhh. Will always be one of my favorites from MMLP2.
Em could always rap like this they made him slow down.. Looking Boy is a song by Hot Styles ft Yung Joc.
Thank your for saying Em now is the best he’s ever been hate when people say old Em was way better maybe they resonate with you more but lyrically he’s the best he’s ever been
Bro, I never heard anyone explain it the way you just did. 👌🏾
A league is 3 miles. It doesn’t matter which direction your going. So if he is a million leagues above you that means he is 3 million miles above you.
Eminem makes an old reference to show how long he’s been in the business, “why’s he making such an old reference?”
He’s hands down the best ever to do any kind of music. No one can do what does! He’s just diffrent! It’s shock rap! You hold on to every single word he says in every song! His double ontongs and word play and story telling! No one can touch EM! I think he made a deal with the devil or he’s an alien!
He's better rapper now but with less attitude. I love it when people piss him off. Kamikaze was crazy.
Em doesn't just have double entendres he has triple and quadruple entendres
You really need check out the "Music to be Murdered By "both albums, fire dope albums
41:00 JJ Fad "Supersonic" reference
He also continues with the suma luma doma luma part which is a rework of part of "Supersonic" 💪💪💯💯🫡
This boy should go to hip-hop school if he wants to break down rap music. His knowledge is slim to none
Let's react to your amazing breakdowns.
@@FlawdTV don’t cry just go to hip hop school. Up your knowledge of the culture is very weak and it shows in your break downs. Been listening to rap since before Curtis Blow and Cool Moe De had beef. This may sound harsh but it’s the greatest advice you’ll ever get for this path you’ve chosen.
Love the vibe of this channel and dissecting the goats best work ! Shorty's voice got me 🤩 lol, good content for sure, sharing this to my friends
Whole Lookin Boy scheme was a reference to a song from Hot Stylz also called Looking Boy and you can hear in that part he uses the beat from that song
I'm so glad you mentioned the "you be Thor and I'll be Odin" line...
You think you're good but I'm your dad and I'm son'in you..
"You rodent., I'm omnipotent" is ridiculous not just because it is a ridiculous statement to make but how the words rhyme.., the sound and the flow..
This guy is the best poet to have ever and will ever walk this earth..
🎶 I’m beginning to feel like a lap dog🎶
Here's the thing. Shady is old school. His methods are simple and to the point. Like 2pac and Biggie. He didn't need complicated punchlines to hit hard. He was skilled PERIOD.
Great reaction! Just earned a subbed🔥🔥🔥🔥
I wonder if Em ever watches these reactions and thinks "no i just said that cos it sounds dope but thanks for making me sound even smarter"
Im loving this.
Please do a reaction to "Calm Down" with Em and Busta
Omnipotent is 'all powerful'. Omnipresent is 'all places'. Omniscient is 'all knowing'.
I like ur reactions. How y'all pay attention to details. Am watching all the way from West Africa Ghana
I agree this is on of him best songs
YALL TOO RIGHT BRO... ART IS FROM GOD AND DESTRUCTION IS FROM SATAN SO I TRUELY BELIEVE THAT SHADY IS AN ANGEL SINCE U WAS BORN IN 91 HE AIN'T TOLD ONE LIE SO LET'S STAY TRUE WITH MARSHALL LEGEND MATHERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AND GOD BLESS YOU BOTH FOR ALL THIS AMAZING BADASS CONTENT.
........MUCH LOVE, KOLTON POPE
LUFKIN, TEZAS
Max headroom is even a play on his genius. Max headroom, meaning he's got the biggest dome or brain. The columbine reference is also a play on how his rap lyrics were blamed for the columbine shooting.
basically boi youll never be capable of keeping up with the same pace looking boi is the best delivery i've ever heard
You guys are too fire, Subbed Radio quality guys... keep it up.
I've probably listened to this song 100 times and I NEVER caught the "mass occur" double (triple?). This dude just never stops making my brain explode....
If you like the way he shouted out those legends, listen to Yah Yah from Music to be murdered by. That shit's crazy for real. Dope reaction, keep it up.
The character 'Max Headroom' from the TV show was named that because it's how the main character in the show died. He crashed on his motorcycle into a raising barricade(the bad guys activated to stop him) and he flew into the level arm in the garage which had a sign on it, which was the last thing he saw 'Max Headroom' and a height limit, killing him. His brain was downloaded by a tech genius and put into an AI program.
im enjoying your eminem breakdown. binge watching. this is like discovering a treasure hidden in plainsight
Ok for the reference to the gods in pagan religions, what he is saying is, if you were as nice as the songs say you are, those songs would be loved enough that people, humans, will sacrifice virgins to it. Because in ancient pagan cultures, human sacrifices would be made to honor a particular god. Because the bar is “your songs would be good enough to sacrifice virgins to.” Meaning, more people would love and worship you, like a god, if you were a better person. Also, in pagan religions Odin is what is considered the God, among gods, no one is higher then him. He’s also the god that warriors, men and women, love most and who they fight to please. Also he mentions Rodin I think, he is in the Catholic religion and he is known as the Hand of God.
The diss was to Waka Flacka. Thats why the beat changed to the ABC Rap Type Beat then also ull notice that they show the "Pong" reference in the background during those bars. Also Waka Flaka Flame was his Full Rap name. That's where the flame references come into play. And also the reference he starts with is "Waka Plank n', tell me wtf is you thinkin'. " lol wow his bars are nuts. Love yall. Keep up the great content!
The new "rap god remix" is fiyaaah, the beat is soo betterrr
Provide a link here
Leagues as in depth as in he's dealing with more pressure than everyone else because the deeper you go the more pressure you take. That's what I got from it, so I think that's god level cryptic lyrics.
I always loved the nod to Max Headroom at the start of this music video. He was a big deal in the 80s.
Talking Heads reference’s make my heart happy 😆
51:01 shout out Heavy D and the Boyz 💪
"Chunky But Funky" is a dope classic 💯💯
LOL People have been loving elvis when he was alive because at that time he was controversial and made actual cool and modern music. once he dies he was already a legend before and almost became a god. Eminem is the same. new / modern and offensive music and being a god during his livetime. he will live on forever even past his death and become the one and only. facts! enjoy him while you still can!
I love this channel, this one, knox hill and stevie knight are the S-tier channels that actually catch bars. I love intelligent channels ❤ plz never stop you guys are amazing!
The discussion about who he’s going at starting at marker 28:15 is actually NF. NF responds on the song “Remember this”. “Perfect people don’t exist so don’t pretend to be one” referencing the song Rapgod he then states “I don’t need pats on the back from people for my achievements” check it out!
15:01 comments: beat and tool of the voice 15:14 good mention zone.-Ernie Moore Jr.
25:55 Let's go Flawd ❤
Omnipotent is having unlimited power; able to do anything.
About woman and the cake making it made me laugh seeing Eminem in the pinafore ready to bake a cake 🍰 it's just the way he moved 🤣
Literally nobody ever says anything about the homage to "The Show" by Doug E Fresh and Slick Rick in the song intro. "Six minutes, Slim Shady, you're on" is the shout out.
And no frame of reference whatsoever for Max Headroom. Throwing the New Coke reference into the explanation was never gonna help. 😂
It blows my mind how many rap legends he pays tribute to, and nobody even knows. He says:
"Cause I use it as a vehicle to Bus the rhyme"
"Now I lead a new school full of students"
Busta Rhymes hit the scene in 1989 as a member of Leaders of the New School. Random bonus fact: Busta really found his voice and outgrew Leaders of the New School when that group collaborated with A Tribe Called Quest in 1991 on the song "Scenario."
The direct shout out to JJ Fad's "Supersonic", down to flashing the shadow of the dancer from their video.
I could go on and on.
This song is all about paying respect to everyone who came before him and showed him how to do the damn thing. Then he performed this song when he was inducted into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame and spent his whole acceptance speech reading the names of the greats that came before him.
"I make elevated music, you make elevator music." Pssshh.
He's brilliant. Class act.
Em is the music equivalent of TV's South Park - he's raw as fuck, but he goes for everyone equally. And while people/media may come for him swinging, he's untouchable, because he does not give a fuck and he doesnt Need them.
That's why Em can do whatever he want and get away with it, because he's just That good and his Heart is always in the right place.
Rapping isn’t like riding a bike 😂 people fall off all the time. Eminem is the one that didn’t
08:39 “that’s when you could still say that word”
We not allowed anymore? I still use it in my day to day lexicon.
I use it all the time. Idc. LGTQB can catch these hands if offended
I think he meant that it isn't PC to say, without getting looks for saying it.
@@arturobuitron6420 yeah man, I agree with that
@@gyastly2737 lmfao!
I use it daily. It rolls off the tongue.
the one thing people prefer about em bac ki nthe day is the aggression and flow. but he is 100% a better rapper now than he has ever been
Hahahaha and now he’s in the hall of fame 🙌🏼🙌🏼
A triple entendre. Bus the rhymes. Bust the rhymes. Busta Rhymes.
Beginning to sound like you like this guy!! Love it
We are so lucky to be around to hear him rather than read about him in the future
A league ( if your still wondering ) is roughly around 3 miles but some records show it can be close to 4 miles too
Speaking of Elvis of rap you should react to bad meets evil - all I think about. Eminem has a FIRE bar about being compared to Elvis. I won’t spoil the bar for you but it’s flamesssssssss
So, a lot of this track is directed at Weird Al. The bars you were missing out on (and the second layer of some that you caught) are disses thrown at Weird Al, and Weird Al fans like myself, partially to finally respond to Weird Al about their beef concerning his parody of “Lose Yourself,” and the mock interview he “conducted with Eminem” to replace the music video that would have been made, had Eminem not declined Al’s permission request on it. In the interview, Al makes it seem like Em is gay, and also makes it seem like Eminem hates Al’s parody, criticizing the musical skill of the track, and Al slams him by saying, “I could only change the words.”
The 3 main subjects overall for this track are Weird Al, MTV (and the televised media in general), and censorship, throwing in his issues with the government (like when the secret service questioned him over whether his lyrics were an actual threat on Clinton’s life).
45:46 What you’re missing is that is a line directed at Al. Previously, Eminem didn’t take Al seriously, for obvious reasons of silliness. Al’s Madonna parody of “Like a Virgin,” “Like a Surgeon,” is one of the things that started launching his career, and Al made a new album, Straight Outta Lynwood, obviously a play on NWA (who Em is representing hard in this track), in 2006. Eminem has dabbled in rapping several times throughout his career, and “White and Nerdy” from that album blew up way harder than Chamillionaire’s original track. A common response from Al fans is that when they’re singing along to one of the songs he’s parodied, that we slip accidentally into Al’s parody’s lyrics instead.
“I don’t know how to make songs like that, I don’t know what words to use,” is a shot at Al, saying that sentence in a mocking tone (as if he was saying what Al says at this point in his critique), that also references and rebuttals the praise of us inadvertently slipping Al’s lyrics into originals.
“Lemme know when it occurs to you, while I’m ripping any one of these verses that versus you (diverse as you),” is what he’s saying back to Al, but also showing some respect as an artist to Al, since Al is super diverse with his music, but he’s saying he’s more diverse.
“It’s curtains, I’m inadvertently hurting you,” he’s saying to other rappers who felt the sting of the last bar, whom he is inadvertently also criticizing, while ripping into Weird Al. He’s also playing off of the surgical curtains from Al’s Madonna parody to set up the next part, since surgery, blood, and gore is in Eminem’s wheelhouse as well. Also he’s telling Al to retire, saying “it’s curtains for you.”
“How many verses I gotta murder to prove that if you were half as nice, your songs, you could sacrifice virgins, too?” Here he’s finally actually referencing the Madonna parody, and twisting it into a possible future Eminem album title, “Songs you could sacrifice virgins to.” He is calling himself a Rap God, and people have sacrificed virgins to appease the gods.
There are many other parts of this song that I felt the sting of, as an Al fan, but I’ll stop for now to avoid spoilers for those who want to relisten to this track with Al in mind, so they can catch their own bars. Anyone still reading this (why?), please come back and compare notes if you want to, I hope there are additional bars I still haven’t caught.
This seems like a REACH and a half.
@@FlawdTV Only because you don’t know it to be true yet. It’s true, the Virgin bar seems like a reach. The more obvious ones include “poodle, ramen noodle, normal, Rapunzel with cornrows, elevator music,” and others.
It was Floka Flame ... he dissed him on his own beat.
When is talking about the ray gun from the future is a transition for the fast part… He literally saying that his going to kill them all with this futuristic style, etc… That is what I understand from that…
I've watched your reaction multiple times 2 or 3. It's a awesome song.
Thats why he did 'Rolemodel'... Fire reaction
Em and Tech have always sounded like an instrument to me.
45:42 He's pretty much insinuating he's God in that instance
