Criminal-Eminem
when em was still real and homophobic, the best em has ever been
Yes. Great flow with early em.
no favors Eminem
Criminal and role model is the best Em period
Fire asf 🔥 🔥
Bro on the left has come such a long way from the initial EM reactions. He was cold / non-reactionary but as he’s warmed up to EMs songs he is straight into it. He’s also upped his game and catching bars / becoming a lot more knowledgeable in backstories / general knowledge. Kudos to you my man.
Was great to watch how he's changed from his initial reactions to now where he's really enjoying himself. Eminem has definitely grown on him.
One on the right had a couple of special ed classes
I also noticed that months ago, glad Em has grown into him
@@auto1640IM CRYING AT THIS LMAO
So True
This album never deserved the hate it got. Such a masterpiece of storytelling and crazy bars.
Its actually kind of a cult classic now
Me and all my buddies in my neighborhood bumped this shit in 8th grade when it dropped . Good times
Relapse held up well beast of a album 🔥
I can guarantee that every person who says that Em "sucks" would completely change their tune of they just sat down and actually listened to him. We most likely will never hear someone like Em ever again in our lifetime so enjoy him while he's still here
well said. Pretend I hated on some radio song, and the rapper behind it. Without ever listening to the full album. Em's best songs were not radio eligible
This is from the album “Relapse”. It’s a dark album where he takes on the persona of a serial killer throughout the whole album. And talks in this accent in the whole album. It’s like a horror movie on an album. It got bad reviews because people didn’t like his strange accent, but it was a crazy lyrical master piece.
For real. It's his best album imo
One of my favourite albums
Fucken great album
One of my favs also along with revival people trash revival and it went platinum it just goes to show people gonna hate no matter what
Relapse is one of my favorite albums. And stay wide awake has always been one of my all time favorite em songs. I even liked the couple of extra songs he threw in years later on the relapse refill like elevator and the buffalo bill song.
The scent of a placenta rhyme was in relation to Tupac's song "Brenda's Got A Baby". Also, the Fee-fi-fo-fum was from the fairytale Jack and the Bean Stalk and when he said sit down beside her like a spider was in reference to the Little Miss Muffet nursery rhyme.
Em was definitely in his bag when it came to rhyme schemes and cadence on this song. You guys did nice to notice that. Try the song Stimulate also if you wanna hear another master class in rhyme schemes.
I think he just means he smells a woman
@@michaelbryant3643 yeah thats what he meant
@@michaelbryant3643 scent of a placenta, brenda from tupac song brendas got a baby threw her baby in trash can at the park
Yeah. I think it was just foreshadowing the horror/murder theme of the song. But I understand "over breakdowning lyrics" with em. I've done it myself. Maybe you're right?
@@michaelbryant3643 a pregnant woman.
Em"s storytelling is unmatched. It drives you inside on horror movie. He is true artist
Nas is up there easily. Check his song "I gave you power" to convince yourself if what I said is true or not.
@@eduardmanecuta5350 They mean horror... Idont think Nas can make scary songs
@@VsAngeel They? I was replying to @entelapollozhani3227 who said "Em's storytelling is unmatched". There are other master of storytelling out there like Chino XXL who has "Dance with the devil"- I am warning you... it's very dark.
@@VsAngeel I was replying to @entelapollozhani3227 who said "Em's storytelling is unmatched".
@@VsAngeel I also suggest you to lisen to "Dance with the devil". I'm warning you. It's dark, like really dark.
P. S.: SPOILER
The story did happened, but Immortal Technique, the rapper who made "Dance with the devil" wasn't involved like he says in the song. The events took place in Harlem and people who where involved start dying. It became a urban legend that devil was after them.
This is literally what I love about Eminem. He lyrically paints a picture
In an Eminem song the answer is practically never “because it rhymed.”
Heck yeah
1000%
Ehhhh, but he’s also almost always painting a narrative or telling a story. Like the placenta line, he’s setting up the narrative of him desintegrating babies / horrorcore imagery.
He even had a line stating that he’s "got no filler"
Exactly! He doesn't do it just to rhyme; it's either he's telling a story or he's passing a message. Like in this song, he's telling a story about a serial killer from first person perspective.
This is Slim Shady, you're gonna get used to it😅You should check out My Darling. It's my favorite song on this album. I'm your age, most people my age really love that song, it's really dope
i made my song called "Demons" bcuz of that song lol. love it. i used the devil voice in mine is what i meant. check it out!!!
That's my favorite Eminem song
Shiiii my darling is too amazing
My darling for sure
Yes!!! My darlin!!
Love it when people can enjoy the song and not being turned of by the imagery, shady is insane, you guys are legends.
“Music Box” - Eminem!! He basically tells a horror story in just a few mins! ✌🏼
Ayo Brandon (I think that's your name, the one on the left), just know you are catching so many bars and you've earned many respects from em fans. Just seeing your reaction now compared to how it was the first time you reacted is so different. Fans get so excited when we see new people actually seeing how skillful this man is. Keep it up
Yeah, he caught the internal rhyme scheme. That takes an ear and attention to detail. My guy also caught that the story changed POV mid verse. He's paying attention. I dig it.
Truth 🙏
Amen!!
We about to see another success like NoLifeShaq is getting now. Got shout-outs from em a while back and from snoop a couple of days ago. 4mil subs
@@BeardedWolfKing where are the shoutouts? Are they in songs or interviews? Can you post link(s) please. Thanks
Y’all gettin better and also it don’t matter y’all entertaining af and chill
The dude on the righ is far from chill haha!
@@Lokbatch lol
You guys have a great back and forth between the intellectual and emotional impact to what you react. I just found you recently, but I'm loving everything I'm seeing and hearing.
"I'm the kind of guy that's mild but I might flip and get a little bit wilder" - If you flip the word "mild" you get "wild".
When it comes to his wordplay and ability to tell a story the man reaches genius level.
"Stay away from me 'cause I'm dancin' to quite a different drum beat" - this line gets a new meaning when you realise that the beat of the song is a heartbeat.
Buffalo bill and music box next 🙏🙏. The whole relapse album he made is from a serial killer perspective. you have think from the point of a killer . it's pretty genius. Damien also referred as son of Sam was a serial killer in new york back in 1980s. Later he admitted he made up the whole son of Sam story. It's pretty crazy. The song you were talking in the end was medicine man
thought it was Damien from The Omen movies the evil child.
Music box is nasty
@@TwistedFnJoker you could be right. Son of Sam was David berkowitz
@@lackofabettername3589 yes he was referring to the omen.
@@iwinrar5207 my bad. I got confused with names
The beat in this track is a heartbeat. If you listen closely. You'll hear "thumthum" like a heartbeat. From the person he's killing in the song.
This shit blew my mind when I found out. He does so many subtle things that alot of people dont catch. Relapse just might be his best work, from a technical and writing perspective.
People always say the Best Friend verse or chlorosepctic verse are his best, but the second verse on this song is nuts. Every line (minus the first) carries 3 rhyme schemes that rhyme with all the other lines. All while telling a very graphic story in detail. 🔥
That's y he says "stay away from me cuz I'm dancing to quite a different drum beat"
This 3rd verse is the craziest thing I've ever heard. To this day it still holds the same impact. That flow is untouchable
I say this all the time. That 3rd verse is a master class in lyrics, flow, delivery, rhyme pace, breathing techniques, etc!!!!
I love how each verse gets progressively better than the previous one and his flow gets even more insane, sooo good..🤯
2nd best
I used to bump this song back in my senior year of high school back in 2009. Man good times
Bouta be bumpin it senior year next year.
I'm right there with you.
Same bro. Great times
"Underground" by Eminem is HARD!!! You guys should react to it, for sure..
been asking for them to play
@@Mallen5.5.17.Q we need to get more likes on it
@@revertedrf978 We do
This the one
Easily one of the worst albums ever - It was such a letdown. Younger crowds tend to like this one. True EM fans that were down since day one don’t see this as one of his greatest. All the accents and all that were just trash. EM even said it himself so that should tell you something.
I've been listening to Em since I was 4 years old riding in the back of my daddy's shitbox town car and I have always been fascinated by language and the way words could be interchanged to convey different messages/ideas/emotions. So, from a young age I learned to pick out bars and make connections (especially when it came to all the controversy and fueding of the early 00's). That being said, watching you guys listening to these songs for the first time has forced me to catch shit that SAILED over my head my entire life. Thank you for the gift of a new perspective 🥂🥂
real (I liked my own comment)
"Fee Fi Fo Fum" is from the story Jack and the Beanstalk where it goes "Fee-fi-fo-fum! I smell the blood of an Englishman." I only know this because I heard it as a kid but not sure if that story is still read in schools(elementary).
‘My Darling’ is another good one from this album. Whole album is like a horror movie. You might not like the accents in every song but it helps with rhyme schemes
yesssss
and Buffalo Bill
That album as a whole is mad underrated imo.
yea guys do this one
Music box is the best
That boy Brandon got them Eminem ears for sure these days. Top of the cartier family class my man. Boy is glued into eminems flow. Delivery and catching bars... much love all you guys from Ireland. Great channel
Just thinking that. He really gets what he's listening to. He's not just hearing the song he's really taking it in
Brandon knows shit
he needs re-react to ‘The Way I Am’ cuz he was sleepin’ on it
Love y'all's Eminem reactions they are so fire glad I found u guys 🔥🔥🔥🔥
You guys have an awesome channel. You guys actually catch a lot of bars, a lot more than other channels and you pay mad respect to em and those other old heads, much love
This song was actually made by Em while he was quitting drugs and was in a pretty dark place, that's why he putting such bars out from the perspective of a serial killer.
Them bars and them rhyme schemes are discusting
Much love fam!
Haha 😁🥰 love the genuine shock you lot have on your face As a 34-year-old who listens to Eminem for 21 years, there's nothing more gratifying than witnessing somebody else acknowledging his greatness 🙃🙂 I love your videos guys! Greetings from Croatia!
Also 34 here and have been listening since 1998. People's reactions are hilarious
37 here been listening to Eminem since I was 12 13 something like that and.That is the exact same reason why I watch these videos I recently just started watching reaction videos I didn't even know they were a thing but watching these kids listen to some of these Eminem songs for the first time is so gratifying to see them understanding what Eminem's talking about and I'm glad that Eminem has grown on them.😊😊
Best song Eminem ever laid down.
The rhyme schemes and flow is unparellelled
👁🤔
I love your channel and watch your reactions every day but sometimes I just love watching y’all’s interactions with each other! Good morning from South Carolina 😊♥️
This song and the whole album it comes from, Relapse, is pure horrocore brilliance. The whole album plays like the greatest of horror films, where Eminem stars as an insane, blood and murder hungry, truly evil, even possessed, serial killer in the same vein as characters such as Norman Bates, Buffalo Bill, Hannibal Lector, Jason Voorhees, and even Leatherface; and real life serial killers like Ted Bundy, Son of Sam, and Ed Gein. It’s a certain horror aesthetic, pushed to the very limits of the extremely dark, horrific, and even scary, more extreme than he ever went before or since, an aesthetic that many of his more casual listeners don’t like or appreciate; even a lot of fans panned this album when it came out. When actually it’s perhaps his most well conceived and most concise, authentically artistic, perfectly executed work of genius that he’s ever made. Or likely ever will make. It was the furthest extreme he’s ever gone, and it goes all the way. He even uses different accents at times, like embodying different characters. And speaking flow wise, lyrically and storytelling wise it’s an immaculate and brilliant piece of work. And the rhyme schemes?? INCREDIBLE. It’s nearly all Shady, no Eminem…and he conceives Shady in this album not as a rap alter ego…but as an actual demon, working through him, that used to only come out in glimpses, but here, he’s taken over completely. Also Dre produced the entire album and made nearly all the beats. And it’s utter perfection. The whole album truly is a work of genius, a brilliant horror film in an album, who’s songs can’t even fully be appreciated unless it’s been listened to from beginning to end. When this album first came out in the late 2000’s, it was poorly received, and wholly misunderstood. It’s only in the last half a decade that it’s been recognized for the work of true artistic genius that it actually is. Eminem isn’t even my favorite rapper. But Relapse has always been my favorite Eminem album, and one of my favorite albums all time. And likely always will be. EDIT: PLEASE DO THE WHOLE ALBUM?? 🙏
This album is a masterpiece
I’m so glad you explained it the way u did…respect…..people don’t understand what Eminem was doing when he made this album…he’s reallly the best to ever do it
when people relapse in drugs they bring out the monster in them... em brought out Slim Shady on the whole album his darker evil side! one of my favourite album from em!
Yeeh the best album ever
You did a great break down of this, thanks for that! I appreciate it when someone geeks out over the genius that is Em
Great reaction! This is the only song that ever took me to a scary movie in my head. This is like reading a good Steven King book. Crazy to be able to rap fiction that is crazy like this and rhyme it all and scheme it all. If you get the chance, check out the color-coded lyric version of this.
I gotta say I LOVE yall watching videos from MY generation...... I love your reaction and it makes it so much better than it was when it was new:)
Talking illuminate/ controls in our world
Bringing into the light just like he's always done.
Ju
This whole album is insane. The storytelling & the schemes…I hope you can look into this album & see the horrorcore rapping
Relapse was the peak of slim shady. Em fighting with him ever since
Relapse is my fav Em album. Massive visual story-telling from start to finish. It's actually a masterpiece.
I thought I was the only one. It’s still my favorite one
Same, fellas! I've always felt this album was an absolute masterclass. Amazing, abstract beats and just wicked lyricism.
Didn’t appreciate it at the time. I just still wanted his real accent back too much. But going back and listening he was way ahead of his time. It’s an absolute masterpiece
Love what you doing gents,keep it up
Hey Brandon, love how far you’ve come with these reactions to Em. Real one. I’m sure somebody mentioned it but just to let you all know, Son of Sam was a serial killer in NYC. Happy belated man.
This song is incredible on so many levels. The technical ability displayed with the rhyme schemes and flow is crazy. But, the craziest part is that he's trying to see how much crazy shit he can say but still get you to listen just by flexing his rapping ability. One of my favorites
Couldn't have sed it better..
It's a horror story basically.
Props for writing it. Having creativity to write fictional stories like Frankenstein, or this...something that can send shivers through your spine, damn.
How many horror novels have been made into movies, or how many original horror scripts have been put on the screen. This Wide Awake by Eminem could easily be put in the same category. Crazy Horror writing. It's well written. Very vivid. Of course the imagery is disturbing, but that's what the horror genre is about.
Scent of a placenta is a tribute to 2pac's song Brenda's got a baby... he sits next to her on the park bench...every syllable in em's songs have meaning, for those willing to dive into the rabbit holes.
Love these guys reactions, reminds me when I first listened, I’m 38.. Been around from when EM started ❤
Space bound is a brilliant tune. Fuck! you could put every tune of Eminem's catalogue on every page of the Bible! he has that many banging tracks
so many better songs to react to lmao
React to “Darkness” & “Never Love Again” if you want to see master class lyricism on display by both of those entire songs being double entendres.
Dude. Never love again fucking 🔥
25 to Life also
Every fucking song literally
"Favourite bitch" is a classic also , imma leave it to the guys to catch it ;)
Both songs blew me away when I first heard them. 3/4 of the way through them you realize the songs are an entire double.
My favorite em song. Never thought yalld do it.
You guys are great!
Em ain’t write bars because ‘it just rhymes’. He’s a lyrical genius who has multiple meanings for words. His words are carefully penned 🔥💪🏽
Exactly that
I love this dude with the curly hair… he be catching all them insane bars
Best thing is, he only catches about 20 percent of them🤣
He's my favorite out of the group because he's taking reacting to Em's music seriously. He really appreciating Em and trying to catch the bars.
The guy on the left catches the bars. The guy in the middle looks fried. The guy on the left is on crack or something.
Should start his own channel, he’ll definitely learn a lot more
they black, they all got curly hair LOL
im addicted to your reactions lol love it
The most twisted and one of my favourite em songs
"I'm the kind of guy that's M-ild but I might fip and get a a little bit W-ilder" ... Flip M and you get W. Some artists play with the way words are written. If some artists do it, Eminem does it for sure. Crazy man.
Relapse was a special album because he used accents to make different words rhyme on different things, just to bring writing on another level!
This is one of my favorite songs ever and I never caught that. God damn
@@JorgeEPerez978 With em's writing you never know for sure you got it all
I love the accent now but I do admit I clowned on the album for years for it. Definitely a classic tho
@@BankaiFever Same, the new Em ain't my style of hip hop either. It grows on me tho. I will always appreciate the skill & passion behind anything.
Wow, I never caught that, that's HARD tho. Nice job catching that 👍
Reminds me of the "love is evol, spell it backwards and I'll show you"
Now try spelling love backwards 😅
Evol is intended to be evil here.
Every line almost rhymes, per syllable, with every other line... while telling a story. This is the genius of Em.
song is nuts man one of my favs frfr
CartierFamily the bomb!
Wonderful job gentleman,your coming around and finally understanding why he is the 🐐 Eminem’s birthday is in October but he is a Libra and the answer to the other song was Medicine Man, “I hope my spirit jumps off a poster and haunts the studio when I’m gone, It flows through halls like the ghost of Lou Rawls” shits fire 🔥 🔥 🔥 keep up the good.
Brandon does understand the assignment !!! I love seeing him get hyped up. I said this before. He’s very hard to win over. So it’s awesome seeing him get truly hype over this.
middle one?
homie on the left was catching and appreciating them bars and the flow... appreciate that homie
i been watching yall videos for a co9uple hours now, ytall got me laughin but yall gotta remember, alot of eminems shit ur reacting to is well over 15 years old. Respect the skill homeys.
I'd suggest "Darkness" a newer song with a double entendre storyline about something pretty important.
Just a suggestion. Try not to ruin the surprise of it being a double
@@ToxicBottledOstrichNostrils it's not really a surprise, I'm giving them the tools to take interest in a song???
@@FunnyShorts-Official it’s better when they figure it out on their own. Would you have wanted someone to tell you it was a double entendre or be surprised when it hit you? And most reactor’s ask people not to ruin the song with too many details in the comments
@@FunnyShorts-Official either way I agree with you, they should definitely check it out
@@ToxicBottledOstrichNostrils fs, I get what you were trying to say but tbh I don't think they know enough about em to go in without context and completely understand that song.
you guys would go mad if you would watch this song's rhyme scheme,
it has a great pattern from start til end
exactly what I thought!
I mean you can hear it the entire time either way. Well some can't I guess.
happy i found your reaction channel :) alot to watch and great reactions "
November boys be catching them bars shout from Nigeria we wide awake
This album is hard, he puts it down after he got sober, but it still has some of his undeniable genius. i think his storytelling is brilliant in "3AM" ... but not sure if you've done that. I'll go look at your Eminem playlist & see what's missing. Really enjoying your reactions.
edit to add...
Request... please create artist playlists of your videos - Eminem would be a great place to start. 😉
Albums a masterpiece
Need to react to 3 am after listening to this song. You’ll understand this song after listening to it. Shock value !
Im an Eminem fan, been listening to him since i was in 6th grade and saw Smack That on VH1 ( only legit english music channel in India back then , i guess it still is ) and im 29 years old now, i always skipped this song, but it came up on spotify today when i was riding back home. Its been 5 hours now, and im still listening to this one! Thank God; I chose Eminem as my favourite rapper.😊
No cap…This reaction is legendary
Crazy how when this album came out everyone hated it and knocked him for the accents. Me personally I love the accents and it just confirms how much of a word smith he is
Yeah in an interview he said that he used this middle east accent cause it allowed him to rhyme more syllables
He hates it too
@@nicholasdunlap2275 no not really. He as any artist would liked it when he put it out. After a couple years and not much love from media and fans he said he didn't like it and admittedly used too many accents. But as of late he has actually said he doesn't mind them and is coming around to the album more. You can see that in the song discombobulated where he brings them back
Love your reactions. Keep those Eminem reactions coming!!!!!!!!!!!!!v
Son of Sam was a serial killer in the late 1970s in new York
Hey!! Love you guys!!! I enjoy watching you!!!
Your Eminem reactions are my fave!
the "Brenda" line isn’t just a rhyme. it’s a reference to Brenda from a 2pac song. it goes deep. brendas got a baby by 2pac
Finally someone else sees it , salute !
Was wondering why they didn’t catch it. Dude in the back is even wearing a 2pac shirt. Haha😂
@@rockygranillo3824 go look up and down the comment section , I’m wondering how it seems like almost nobody catches it .
And theses are apparent Stan’s in the comments .
It's got fuck all to do with that Brenda, youre reaching
makes sense now if u connect it to the start "i think i smell the scent of a placenta"...Brenda had a baby
I was patiently waiting for you guys
But still waiting for "underground"
You all are a trip
Hasn't left my favorites list since day one 🐐
Most people miss that this best is a literal HEARTBEAT!! It’s so sick!!!
Bar catching on Eminem songs is a whole new scale lmao. Once you think you're A tier you find a new layer and get kicked back down to B tier lmao
Seriously though😂I know the lyrics to every single song he’s ever made, and I’m still catching bars to this day. Listened to slim every day for about 15 years and he still surprises me.
The beat….is a heartbeat.😮
the beat is a heartbeat
yall reactions gettin better and better haha much love
Watching you guys learn and appreciate what em really does on the mic is fun to watch I ain't waiting on you to hit on every bar he spits it's better watching you realize his greatness and expose it to others who may not know love your guys reactions keep em coming his catalog is huge 🤟
Your reactions to Em's music remind me so much of me and my friends reactions when the albums dropped. Lol. Em is phenomenal!
The beat is a heartbeat
Horrorcore at it's finest guys! The picture he paints whilst rhyming is insane...Relapse is amazing 🔥
Brandon definitely gets a A+ on this reaction and real talk you have to know things to catch the bars or they go over your head
I totally agree!! You need know your history to catch Eminem bars!!
@@stephanief6724 exactly. They missed the Ted Bundy reference. But its all good... He was before my time.
Hell ya guys nice job on this one you guys are killing it I love watching also my birthday is Nov 6 too
Love your Em reactions! New sub!
Classic song!
We enjoy your reactions every time! Keep them rolling..! If you hadn't reacted to Em's song, "Cinderella Man", please do... another fire rap...🔥🤗✌️
Alot of people didnt understand when eminem ran out of rhyme schemes that he wanted, around 2009 he started using accents and came with a whole new catalog and it was crazy. The accent helps him twist words to rhyme differently and its genius. unbelievable
This is a masterpiece
Your bar catching abilities hav improved dramatically but I watch bc you’re all entertaining asl! You’ve got a mix of good vibes, comedy, high energy, diff friends coming through & when you catch the bars that’s just the 🍒 on top. Much luv CF gang 🤟🏼
Requesting “Till I Collapse” (motivational, hard asf) + Mockingbird & When I’m Gone (with the music vids) for a softer side of Em. They’re all classics
Em is an artist. That's it. Vivid story teller. Listening to him is like watching a movie
i got goosebumps hearing this song for real
Love how you young boys still give older artists their homage
This was one of Em best flows
Mad❤ to all you Cartier Fam for reading into s0 many bars and entendres. ‘‘Em is a brutal story teller and many are very mislead by that and think what he rhymes he actually condones.. BUT he is as you kn0 tha most crafty and insane wordsmiths to ever pick up tha mic IMO.. y’all are s0 much fun to watch. Y0, it’s excellent to see you guys appreciate and enjoy this legend.. HE is a once in a lifetime kind of person and performer, you are doing him nothing but justice throughout your journey. Stay solid and keep them extinguishers close😂💯✊🏽
top 10 old em track, great review!
Great reactions guys, yall should check out “Music Box” another crazy song with disturbing lyrics (in a good way). also, “Fine Line” is ridiculous as well in terms of rhyme schemes, bars and flow.
Music Box is brilliant. An entire horror film in 4mins!! ✌🏼
