Fun fact: 9 hours and 45 minutes was the total length of his discography up to this album, which means Matthew listened to everything Em released right before this. A true Stan.
exactly how I pictured the dude who actually broke into EM's house a while ago lmao, dude essentially acted out this song. EM saw it comin, too bad his community security guards were sleep and didnt😂
The way he brings that voice and that stuff towards the end is yet another example of how a lot of so called rappers need to take a step back and realize they just simply can't compete. Not with hi storytelling and certainly not with his writing and imagination. Still gives me chills.
I debate with myself about putting at #1 simply for the fact that it was so honest and personal.. the way he hid it all behind the last verse.. the way it faded out.. all that shit.. but Therese too many other verses that I can’t demote.. best friend..the way I am.. white america.. it goes on and on..
Bad Guy last half is BETTER impact wise that medicine man or anything!! Such a brilliant pt 2. Wish he did a music video pt2 off Stan! Bad Guy is Top Ten amazing Em songs of ALL time! AND BETTER MUSICALLY CREATIVELY, than 99% of any rappers catelog! 😎
This is such an overlooked masterpiece, I absolutely loooove this song so much, it doesn’t matter how many times I listen to this song, I get chills every time I hear that last verse, it’s easily in my top 5 verses he’s ever written, that ending… God… That line about an artist trapped in his own drawings, gives me goosebumps and paints such a vivid picture of Em as a lil boy who’s only safe place was to escape with his love for drawing to escape all the bad things happening in his life at that time… Love Em so damn much…
The ringing in your ears - He had really bad tinnitus for a while; the ringing in his ears/head was so loud, to the point he couldn't hear himself over the music and had to put 'extra midrange' in his vocals (which lead to fans complaining about why he was shouting/MGK's Why you yelling at the mic?)
More Eminem. Greatest rapper ever. I have to see him in the hall of fame. Your right he can’t be beat. I don’t think he ever will. You can listen to his music and catch shit every time. Thank you cliff.
It's a sequel to Stan, while also being about Em's anxiety about his career, while also being about trying to keep Shady bottled because he's matured past that and wants to be more conscious and serious in his writing because he knows his career is on a timer now. It's literally the rare "perfect" track for any artist. It's up there with Stan and a few others in terms of tracks that my grandchildren will hear one day and ask how it was to hear that when it was released.
This song is just perfection imo. It gives me cold chills every time i hear the last verse. Its so emotionally powerful and paints the perfect picture of his thoughts in his head and of himself
No one will ever in my lifetime and Im 41 and have a lot of major influences will ever come close to the way Eminem has been making me feel since 1999. Genius poetry ❤️❤️🇮🇪
God the first time I heard this my mind was blown and I got chills everywhere. The Stan sequel was an amazing surprise and that alone was crazy but then that last part of the song..... That gave me chills with goosebumps. He's telling himself off..
I love the "I'm the pill that's too jagged to swallow" bar. Like obviously it's a double meaning on his addiction and the idiom of a pill that's tough to swallow but the way it works together is great: no many how pills you swallow, you still can't swallow this one.
The last verse of this track never ceases to give me chills, usually brings tears to my eyes and I don't even know why. It just hits me something different. Your reactions are awesome man. Keep up the good work.
@@KungFuKendrick I use violence as clickbait to promote healthcare for street dogs and homeless people. I know it seems odd at first. But here in brazil, violence is a thing that draw too much attention and I missdirect that attention too something good. But I respect your opinion
The line about him driving around for 9 fricken hours and 45 minutes now at 3:10 or so into the song, that line is such a crazy line. Eminems discography up until this album, and this is the first song on the album, was 9 hours and 45 minutes.
The last verse got verse of the decade from 2009-2019. I’ve listened to this song countless amount of times since the album came out and the verse gives me chills every time. I cannot believe he’s able to do that. Absolutely mind blowing masterpiece.
I still remember in 2013 hearing this for the first time thinking “oh no he said he can never capture the lighting in the bottle again and this is the final chapter that sounds like he’s quitting” Even though this was the first song on the album Boy was I wrong and I’m glad I was
@@myfatassdick And I remember while I had This album on my mp3 I got stuck on this Song for a whole week B4 realizing I Still had the all album to listen to... Dam...
One part that not many people seem to catch, but it’s where I realized this song was from Matthew’s perspective, is when he says that Eminem “seems to be doing just fine.” In Stan, Eminem’s response letter tells Stan, “I think you’ll be doing just fine.” He says it in the same tone as in Stan. He does that with a few lines. But, this song is a masterpiece in storytelling and really, really marked a change in Eminem. Chills.
You're correct, no other rapper can do this, not only story tell, but make a better sequel than the original classic 20 years later. There's something different about this man, and the best dead or alive can't touch him, and whoever says different is just a hater, their favorite rapper couldn't compare, and I dare them to put their best against Eminem's shit like this. We'd be attending an early funeral after the first couple of bars.
eminems house was broken into in 2020, and he woke up to a guy standing behind him and the intruder said he was there to murder him and also the intruders name was Mathew.... eminem wrote this song back in the day and then it manifested in the future, imagination creates reality!
That last verse is considered one of Em's best ever. And I absolutely love your reaction to it!! I always have the same reaction, no matter how many times I've listened to it. It even brings tears to my eyes. Such a masterpiece! ❤️
Bro I'm 32 yrs old made a lot of big mistakes in my life and man I heard this song for the first time 10 mins ago and I balled my eyes out reflecting on myself.
The first time I heard the ending of this literally every hair on my arm and legs were stood to attention with the chills going down my spine, even hearing now after multiple listens I still get the chills. Absolute genius, written and delivered flawlessly
Right as he goes into that "outro" you hear the car crash over the bridge and hit the water, this coincides with the airy/wet/atmospheric change and feel of the production, it almost feels like you're going under with the car. Drowning as he starts to sink into the thoughts he's conveying and simultaneously it's like he's seeing his life flash before his eyes "im your time that's almost up that you haven't acknowledged" both in rap and because he's drowning in the car
Pill that’s too jagged to swallow, was an analogy to his conscience and being indecisive on going further or calling quits, there were rumors he was guna retire after this Oh yea, and this came out like 12 years ago Lmao
This is a work of art. My favorite Em song by far. Always chokes me up to hear the self-reflection verse. I can play it over and over without getting tired of it. Epic. Thank you for this reaction.
This was one of the most amazing reactions to music I’ve ever seen You seem like a SUPER cool dude foreal the way you have the wherewithal to stop and start it back up, simply for looking out for us, subscribed Respect ✊
I love your breakdowns and reactions dude, your in my top 3 reactors on TH-cam, up there with Knox Hill and Stevie Knight in no particular order. I especially like when you're doing Eminem's tracks. Keep up the great work man
Never heard this song before. I'm not a big hip hop fan but I do like Em's older radio stuff. Beautiful (kind of newer) is a great song too. Awesome reaction. Thank you for what you do for us ☺️ 90/94 is extreme northern Indiana into Illinois before they split and 94 turns north into Wisconsin. We don't have an I-90 in Michigan but the Detroit area, where Eminem grew up, has I94, I75, I275, I96, I696, Southfield fwy., and the Lodge.
Same (almost) 😅 I'm exactly one week older than Eminem. Never heard an entire song of his until two years ago. Always thought he was just a bunch of puerile fart jokes and casual misogyny. Somehow I accidentally heard this song on TH-cam. That last verse *blew my mind.* I realized there was so much more to him than I'd thought. So I dug into his discography and picked up a hip hop education from TH-cam reactors and ultimately became an unlikely stan 😆 And this stuff he does with these personae here and elsewhere is amazing and deep and playful and vicious and satirical and serious as shit by turns, and that's a huge part of why I'm so excited for his upcoming album.
Must've heard this song at least a thousand times but still got chills listening with you...thank you Em! God bless you! I just subscribed Cliff....really enjoyed this
Keep it coming! Good thing is that Em has so many songs so we have plenty reactions to hear from you 😊 This one is one of my favorites bcs he is so good at looking at himself from outside and be his own psychologist so that he is able to heal himself...Like in the Castle and Arose
Dude the luggage part I never caught that was clever also he said before you REST YOUR CASE better make sure you’re PACKIN a wallop . You should do PREMONITION by em off music to be murdered by
In Stan in 2000, Matthew was 6. In 2020, a 26 yr old guy named Matthew broke into Em's house, which was strange and a coincidence to a fictional song. That guy was Matthew Hughes.
Would just like to say.......this man started with "Backin It All Up"........then after like 14 bars he said "Palup"....(rhymed perfectly)...then played the Rope-A-Dope with that scheme....stretching it very far I might add to use conscious in the scheme of "Palup".......then go Into a 30+ bar or brushing those syllables........just to end with "Pack A Wallop"......."Back It All Up"......DO YOU UNDERSTAND THE POETIC DEPTH HERE PEOPLE?....just like if u do....TY
This is one of my favorite schemes considering how he wrote it within this rhyme pattern as you pointed out...walk away (retire), guilt trip (could be a walk as well as conscious), baggage (what you would pack on a trip as well as emotional), all your possessions (like packing a bag and walking away from rap aka his accolades), rest your case (putting his bag down as well as finishing an argument), packing a wallop (continuing to have an impact on top of continuing the traveling scheme) love it

Modern day Shakespeare! The storytelling, the imagery, the metaphors/similes and double-/triple-/quadruple entendres, maintaining rhyming/syllable schemes while carrying out otherworldly wordplay…Eminem is an artistic genius with a brain that works in a way that no other person’s brain works.
the interesting thing about em is that he's so full of self doubt that he's convinced that every album he does is going to be his last ride before he becomes a washed up has-been that nobody cares about it, so he decides to go out with a bang by doing something daring that challenges the medium itself. and when he does that, he rockets to the top again. he never fades away because every album is written like his last hurrah
