I feel he didn’t really see that because he was focused on the song but it’s crazy that if you think about it everything has 2 meanings if showing 2perspectives Eminem’s and the Shootrers.
@@itsmondays7235 I.E. reaching for the scope, it gave a hint but it was em drugged out reaching for the mouthwash, and the shooter, also drugged out, reaching for the gun scope. em before a concert loading himself up on alcohol(shots), and the shooter prepping for the concert by loading his guns, magazines all over the floor(knocking over magazine stands or w.e. while he was wrecking his waiting room, or just reading them idk which), while also being the gunner dropping clips/magazines all over the floor. it's seriously every line. just go through the song, and any time you don't find a double meaning, look at the line a little longer, and there will be one. it's incredible tbh.
It's one thing to make a track with bars that get people hyped, but it's a whole other level when you drop bars that make people sit back in silence and just absorb and process what they just heard.. The guy is the GOAT, fact.
All Eminem’s song are insane. Never go into listening to a song by him thinking you’ll be able to digest it all in one listen because you won’t. His lyrics are so complex that you should expect to have to listen to it at least 2 or 3 times to really get it. Reading the lyrics as he raps helps a lot
Yeah, the first time i listened to it on spotify i thouht it was about him and his stage performances and after that i watched the musiv video and was a bit bloen away.
@Big John Boatright Agree...and i think Jay top 5 alive but Em is not afraid to break the barrier just as illustrated here..that's why I personally think Em and Pac are top 2 all-time
All of those places where the shootings happened were "gun free zones" yet the shooting still happened. (Which means the person who intends on breaking the law-- murdering people -- still does) But the people who want to obey the law (Not murder people, and NOT bring a gun to a gun free zone can't shoot back when there inevitably is a shooter.) Look at this most recent shooting in the Tx church. How many people would the shooter have killed if there wasn't the law abiding gun owner to stop him? 30? 40? 50?... People intent on MURDERING mass amounts of innocent people DO NOT care about the latest gun restrictions. Do you know why? Reason 1) They clearly don't care about the law. Reason 2) Such laws don't make those newly-banned guns disappear. Is meth illegal? Yeah, how's that working out? Last I checked murder was illegal too. Eminem is clearly incapable of rational thought. I like Em, but he really needs to do his research and use his brain. If the liberals get what they want with gun laws, the problem WILL get worse and the death counts for shootings WILL rise... Because there is no one to defend themselves. The Police you say? Would you really rely on a government agency whose entire purpose is to respond to calls while the act is happening or even after the fact? really? The average police response time is 8.33 MINUTES let that number sink in. We're talking about active shooters here. This is all--common--sense.
"Im so much like my father, you would think I knew him" Stephen paddock never knew his dad but his dad was in the top 10 FBI most wanted from the late 60's to the 70's.
Winston Dejesus *I never knew that. Thank you for sharing!! A LOT of this has double meanings... The shooters & Eminem’s loneliness. I thought he meant about HIM (Em) not knowing his dad... He was like his dad. On drink/drugs and violent to his wife. I’m glad Eminem changed & got sober. For his daughters’ sake!! They shouldn’t grow up knowing it is ok for a man to hit a woman!*
The crazy thing is for the first 2 verses you think he’s talking about himself until the 3rd verse and you realize it’s about the incident. It’s a really powerful and amazing song overall. Shout out to Royce for producing this
All the lyrics i believe are about em being nervous before he performs for a sold out concert and about the vegas shooter before and after he shot up the concert.
That's a stretch. The first time you're taken by surprise. The second time you see where it's going. It's not until the third or fourth time where you start to understand and start catching the double and triple meanings. But it's definitely not a single listen song. Deep and dark stuff.
Anyone else think the Hook “I don’t wanna be alone in the darkness” Is connecting how Em fights that loneliness by going on stage and sharing his darkness with his fans but also the shooter didn’t want to go into the darkness alone so he took people into the darkness with him. Dope. Dark. But dope.
Everything is double, even triple entendre. It could also be that he doesnt want to be alone in the darkness after the mass shooting bc everyones dead, hes alone, get it?
@@DiegoA-jh5zu replace going on stage with making art and it's the same meaning. He try's to not be alone in his darkness by sharing his darkness with his fans.
“I should get ready for the show now Wait is this the whole crowd? Thought that it’d be sold out” Talks about him wondering where all of his fans are at. Yet at the same time talks from the shooter’s perspective wondering why the show isn’t full to murder more people. This is crazy
If you take a closer look at the lyrics as a whole, every single line is a double meaning. One explaining his views as an artist, while also speaking through the eyes of the Las Vegas shooter. Every. Single. Line. This man told two stories simultaneously through a single song. Absolutely fucking wild.
@@DharcKamui the songs incredible, I first listened to it a few days ago without the video, listening to the lyrics I was thinking waaaait what?.. As soon as he said Vegas you just knew what was coming
This song hits you like a punch in the gut. It sounds like some typical "Eminem spitting crazy double entendre bars" and then it turns from just spitting into a story that we all know is real. It's a reminder that this shit doesn't just disappear because the media isn't covering it anymore. You can tell news like this eats at Eminem if he's willing to launch his entire album with a song about it. He's calling us all to action with this. We need to sit up and listen. He's talking about that darkness and he pulled all of us in and showed us how easy it is to pass off that sort of darkness as something else until it's too late. As always, if you see something, say something. It could save lives.
Bopping my head slowly to the vibe till i realize he was connecting two worlds of himself and how he be feeling before a show and Vegas shooter. Then i really sat at the edge of my seat and had to listen carefully. This man a legend!🤦🏾♂️
💯 like hes thinking no one is showing at his show he should cancel but then hes the Las Vegas shooter, but referring to the eminem show... it was a good word play song 🔥 love this one. It's my fav

This song was a masterpiece and I'm more of a heavy metal fan but eminem is one of the only rappers that could have made it as a songwriter in any genre
I didn't know what that song was called, but I'd heard it before for sure........but as you typed out the title, I just realized, even that is a double entendre. The sound of silence being the sampled track, while at the same time the "sound of silence" (or people being silent) on gun violence is not fixing the problem the US is facing. ......which leads to the end of the video when he says GO VOTE. Crazy af.
Well em can match himself. So technically one person can. Also all the double entendres reminds me of lose yourself where he was rhyming everything. Except he has a double meaning to everything here instead of all the rhyming
cbone1982 not true. Recovery, which is one of his best if not the best was only like 4 albums ago and it is not garbage at all. But you know what they say: haters gonna hate!
When someone is so low in self, they have to comment hate. 😂 Opinions are like buttholes. Everyone has one, but no one wants to hear/see it unless it's asked 😂
"Now I'm staring at the room service menu off a benzo, I can hear the music - continue to crescendo" - was a double entendre because the crescendo is the highest/loudest part of a sound (music) & he's also getting higher & higher off the benzo.
Emin Mahmudov a crescendo is when the music goes from gradually quiet/soft to louder. It's not necessarily the loudest/highest part that's left to the notes.
The emphasis on Benzos is also a play. He doesn't emphasize Valium because everyone knows about his addiction but Benzos are one of the most perscribed medications for people that are dealing with mental illness. You can get a script for it for pretty much anything and they are highly addictive. That is why the cam slow panned over the pills its a shot at big pharma.
The smiling and the giggles at the start and then the shock on his face when it clicks that it’s about the Vegas shooting sums up the emotional rollercoaster that this song is, I’m from the Uk and it hit me hard, can’t imagine how this hits people from the US
I was tripping on that too but the first time I played the song I wasn't looking at the images just listening to the words and when I got to the shooting I was like, hol up rewind that shit.
My niece recently killed her father and mother and she's only 13. It was known that she tired to commit suicide, slit her wrist to the bone. But now she's been sentenced to 35 years in prison
I live in Vegas so I was kind of shocked when I saw this but I really dig the message behind it so it's ok with me #VegasStrong I love Em. He's the GOAT
@@Sereous313 You obviously have no idea about Eminems previous career. He said that in Rap God cause he used that same line all the way back in 2000 in MMLP to see if he could "get away with it" cause the media has been spinning it like hes unpopular. All of you people wanted "Shady back" this is Slim Shady, this is what he does. He said worse shit before this.
Rappers are supposed to talk about this stuff, real life.... we’re just not used to it anymore because all rappers talk about now is drugs and girls....
So he’s basically telling his story of struggling with drugs and making music while also telling the story from the perspective of the Vegas shooter! Absolutely amazing!
for everyone who doesn’t get the message and still thinks it’s people not guns, listen to the verse at 4:53. “ but i’m a licensed owner, with no prior convictions, so law says the sky’s the limit, so my supply is infinite. strapped like i’m a soldier” He’s not saying guns needs to be taken away, but for the laws to be so bad where it’s that easy to stockpile an armory, there has to be a change. no civilian should have access to military grade weaponry like a soldier does in war.
Davis Friedman The 2nd Amendment shall not be infringed! Just take a look at history and what happens to the people when they get their guns taken away. Guns are not the problem, people are. A gun is a tool, and an inanimate object until it’s used by the person.
Andrey Petrash The second amendment was written when it took 2 minutes to load a musket. And it also says clearly in the amendment “a well regulated militia” meaning that there needs to be more regulations. thanks for bringing up the 2nd amendment though, shows how little you actually know
He actually says that there’s “NO SIGN OF MENTAL ILLNESS” and he doesn’t even know why he’s doing it. The shooter by all accounts was a “normal” guy that just had unlimited access to weapons and ammo legally.
Yah, his take on this song's gun control message disregards the song entirely. Spouting off about mental illness being a big issue when having unlimited access to the kinds of weapons that guy had is the issue being talked about was one if the worst takes I've heard about this song.
Yes.. the people are the issue.. but so are the guns... I personally hat guns.. but I also believe you have the right to protect yourself. Pistols.. shot guns for hunting and farmers... but assault rifles and shit.. thats not for protecting yourself. You dont need sniper rifles and AKs to stop from being robbed. Plain and simple
That's because the dude was a fall man..Listen to the shooting..You can clearly a 240B, not an AR with a bump stock, like they tried to say..not even close to matching the fire rate of one.
mmddhh34 i’m honestly not sure if you know this so i would just like to inform you that our of over 14000 murders last year under 300 were committed using rifles and not even all of those were assault rifles. far more people were killed with knives and pistols that any rifle. Please stay informed before supporting any government infringements. There are over 300,000,000 rifles in america owned by over 100,000,000 people, and yet under 300 murders were committed using them
Do you truly think someone does something like this WITHOUT a mental illness?? Did the gun force him to kill people? People hide mental issues all the fucking time, serial killers don't walk around bragging about their homicidal fantasies. If you don't believe the problem is mental illness and evil, I really don't know what to tell someone that can't see reality.
First listen - just thought this was about him getting ready for a show until it suddenly wasn't. So well written... such an important message though, thank you Em.
People with mental illnesses are far more likely to be the victims of violence rather than the perpetrators of violence. In matter of fact people with mental illnesses are up to 15x more likely to be the victims. And people with mental illnesses only account for less than 5% of ALL types of violent crimes.
@@fishbrainCTRL Shit, I still gotta listen to that song. I had to stop for a minute in the middle of listening to the album because like Kevin Hart, "nooooooo ha... I wasn't readyyyyyy."
I had a dope line like that with a play on bayou When I'm "by you", I slice dudes, like you, From six foot, to five two.. Dump you and your album in the "bayou," cuz when I'm through, Nobody’s gonna find you, Let alone “buy you”.
Max Volume Not to mention that time after time after time seemingly sane people just break and start shooting people. We have to kill the myth that psychologist can tell someone is insane from a 10 minute session. Everyone who met Ted Bundy said he was a nice charming guy. Meanwhile he was bashing women’s faces in.
Jaime actually most of these shootings, the people where diagnosed with mental illnesses. Some of them actually got the cops involved way before the shooting but nothing was ever done about it. So no mental illness is still the main issue. banning guns ain’t going to make crime stop.
thee gamer Not saying to ban guns but limit guns. I believe everyone has the right to self defence but an AR-15 with a 30 round clip is above and beyond. Teachers watch their students 8 hours a day but school shootings still happen. Do a quick google of the % of people who go into the psychological field. That percentage is who you’re asking to watch over the rest of the 300,000,000 people with the potential to own tools designed for mass murder. That sound realistic to you?
Jaime But why not go the rout of protect our self instead of stripping everything away. Why not try that first?why is the only thing you guys can think of is destroying our rights and protection. Instead we are giving the bad guys exactly what they want. They get to keep there’s and we lose ours. I just think my way is safer and makes more sense. It’s as simple as (if you where a mass shooter would you rather walk into a school with an armed guard or a school with a bunch of helpless children in a corner.) like logically my side makes sense. Your side is more of a what if.
thee gamer You realise your side is quite literally a “what if a good guy had a gun” scenario right? I don’t ever believe in banning guns. I also don’t believe anything more than a pistol and a shotgun is necessary for self defence. But man to man if you were a bad guy with the element of surprise are you telling me you couldn’t pull the trigger five times into a crowd before a “good guy” puts you down? Unless you want every man in America with a hand on their grips 24/7 and be on military style alert just in case someone reaches for their hip?
the shooter literally said "no prior" means he's been checked for the arsenal in the room, that means yea ppl dont need rocket launchers to defend themselves
Steven facts. It’s to fight off the government. Literally the second amendment is there to keep our government in check. When they take guns. They take all power.
@@premiumpandagaming Well then, you don't need guns. Again, pretty much the same argument, if the point is in the army "not firing upon american citizens", what's the actual problem?
Even just the simple line when he says “im so much like my father. You would think that I knew him” eminem has always rapped about the absence of his father & the las vegas shooter’s father was a criminal. Got damn
Em's double entendre game is off the charts. The first time I listened to this (without the video, just the track) it took me almost two full verses before I figured out where he was going. It's obviously easier to see if you watch the video. Point is, his writing style on this track is on another planet. We've heard him do something similar on "25 To Life", where he appears to be talking about an ex; possibly Kim, but it's not until the last bar that he reveals he's actually speaking on the rap game. "Darkness" takes that same style and dials it up to 11. The guy's pretty good with a pen.
Double entendre. The way he starts off by making the listener think he's talking about himself and then flips it to the vegas shooter, crazy word play!! He also says double entendre at 1:09

Well em can match himself. So technically one person can. Also all the double entendres reminds me of lose yourself where he was rhyming everything. Except he has a double meaning to everything here instead of all the rhyming
@@nicolaslapuerta1786 Agreed, most of the album is like Slim snapped back.
cbone1982 not true. Recovery, which is one of his best if not the best was only like 4 albums ago and it is not garbage at all. But you know what they say: haters gonna hate!
When someone is so low in self, they have to comment hate. 😂 Opinions are like buttholes. Everyone has one, but no one wants to hear/see it unless it's asked 😂
Cheyenne Hewitt nice ANALogy
Anyone who thinks Em meant any disrespect with this track is sadly mistaken

This song hits hard on my part, I lost my friend at the Las Vegas shooting.
Stay strong brother🙏🏽...

"Now I'm staring at the room service menu off a benzo, I can hear the music - continue to crescendo" - was a double entendre because the crescendo is the highest/loudest part of a sound (music) & he's also getting higher & higher off the benzo.
Emin Mahmudov a crescendo is when the music goes from gradually quiet/soft to louder. It's not necessarily the loudest/highest part that's left to the notes.
At the 1:09 mark he says double entendre 2 sides to the story
I feel like he was talking also about the Benzino situation also, cause he mentions all the magazines
The emphasis on Benzos is also a play. He doesn't emphasize Valium because everyone knows about his addiction but Benzos are one of the most perscribed medications for people that are dealing with mental illness. You can get a script for it for pretty much anything and they are highly addictive. That is why the cam slow panned over the pills its a shot at big pharma.
“Can’t Murdered a show nobody’s at” “I reach for the scope(scope mouthwash)”
The smiling and the giggles at the start and then the shock on his face when it clicks that it’s about the Vegas shooting sums up the emotional rollercoaster that this song is, I’m from the Uk and it hit me hard, can’t imagine how this hits people from the US
He released the whole damn album! You probably know by now from the millions of mentions. The first song Premonition already goes hard af
Man I got home from work pulled up Spotify and saw the album the album is good 👌 from what I've heard so far
@@blakepatterson9247 I've only listened to about 4 tracks but all of them have been really good. So far Unaccommodating is my favorite
Seraphyx who’s album?
@@jrsoto414 Eminem's, it's called Music to be murdered by
Seraphyx I know I’m listening to it now man it’s fucking good I can’t wait till he hears them it’s pretty fucking good mate good looks!!!!
Might be his best and most impactful track he’s ever dropped. It’s a masterpiece
His face when he realised what the hell was going on 🤣😭
Jack Budge got me 😂😂😂😂
I was tripping on that too but the first time I played the song I wasn't looking at the images just listening to the words and when I got to the shooting I was like, hol up rewind that shit.
Bro this album is crazy. Like The song “never love again” a banger bro...new topics on this album. Damn he killed this bro again.
💯💯💯
My niece recently killed her father and mother and she's only 13. It was known that she tired to commit suicide, slit her wrist to the bone. But now she's been sentenced to 35 years in prison
I live in Vegas so I was kind of shocked when I saw this but I really dig the message behind it so it's ok with me #VegasStrong I love Em. He's the GOAT
A lot of people crying about this. This is what Eminem has done for the longest time.
@@Sereous313 You obviously have no idea about Eminems previous career. He said that in Rap God cause he used that same line all the way back in 2000 in MMLP to see if he could "get away with it" cause the media has been spinning it like hes unpopular. All of you people wanted "Shady back" this is Slim Shady, this is what he does. He said worse shit before this.
Rappers are supposed to talk about this stuff, real life.... we’re just not used to it anymore because all rappers talk about now is drugs and girls....
I agree with your comment bro... that's totally true what you said.
@@thecheadleend865 "We made you" might change your mind lol.
So he’s basically telling his story of struggling with drugs and making music while also telling the story from the perspective of the Vegas shooter! Absolutely amazing!
The fact he just did one song and told 2 stories is incredible. The song is literally a double. Insane
for everyone who doesn’t get the message and still thinks it’s people not guns, listen to the verse at 4:53. “ but i’m a licensed owner, with no prior convictions, so law says the sky’s the limit, so my supply is infinite. strapped like i’m a soldier” He’s not saying guns needs to be taken away, but for the laws to be so bad where it’s that easy to stockpile an armory, there has to be a change. no civilian should have access to military grade weaponry like a soldier does in war.
Davis Friedman The 2nd Amendment shall not be infringed!
Just take a look at history and what happens to the people when they get their guns taken away. Guns are not the problem, people are. A gun is a tool, and an inanimate object until it’s used by the person.
Andrey Petrash The second amendment was written when it took 2 minutes to load a musket. And it also says clearly in the amendment “a well regulated militia” meaning that there needs to be more regulations. thanks for bringing up the 2nd amendment though, shows how little you actually know
Davis Friedman “Well regulated militia” doesn’t mean regulation of firearms. Clearly you dont know much either.
Davis Friedman Do criminals or the government these days still own muskets that’s take 2 minutes to load? I don’t think so...
He actually says that there’s “NO SIGN OF MENTAL ILLNESS” and he doesn’t even know why he’s doing it.
The shooter by all accounts was a “normal” guy that just had unlimited access to weapons and ammo legally.
Yah, his take on this song's gun control message disregards the song entirely. Spouting off about mental illness being a big issue when having unlimited access to the kinds of weapons that guy had is the issue being talked about was one if the worst takes I've heard about this song.
Yes.. the people are the issue.. but so are the guns... I personally hat guns.. but I also believe you have the right to protect yourself. Pistols.. shot guns for hunting and farmers... but assault rifles and shit.. thats not for protecting yourself. You dont need sniper rifles and AKs to stop from being robbed. Plain and simple
That's because the dude was a fall man..Listen to the shooting..You can clearly a 240B, not an AR with a bump stock, like they tried to say..not even close to matching the fire rate of one.
mmddhh34 i’m honestly not sure if you know this so i would just like to inform you that our of over 14000 murders last year under 300 were committed using rifles and not even all of those were assault rifles. far more people were killed with knives and pistols that any rifle. Please stay informed before supporting any government infringements. There are over 300,000,000 rifles in america owned by over 100,000,000 people, and yet under 300 murders were committed using them
Do you truly think someone does something like this WITHOUT a mental illness?? Did the gun force him to kill people? People hide mental issues all the fucking time, serial killers don't walk around bragging about their homicidal fantasies. If you don't believe the problem is mental illness and evil, I really don't know what to tell someone that can't see reality.
Bro look like he came out the shower when he heard about this song
LMAOOO
This whole album feels like The Eminem Show 2 🔥🔥🔥
@Chokwe fo sure
Yeah and Dre is all over it.
@@SandhuNation7 Dre is the OG
for me it's like a combination of TES, TMMLP2 and Kamikaze
Just when you thought Em was on a whole NEW level He Elevated himself to a Unreachable level!
serious message from eminem
thats why we love him.
I literally am so moved by this. I dont even know, speechless. Just left me in awe
😢😢😢😢😢😢Kelly
First listen - just thought this was about him getting ready for a show until it suddenly wasn't. So well written... such an important message though, thank you Em.
This guy had no sign of mental illness though, thats what Eminem says in the song
Exactly.
People with mental illnesses are far more likely to be the victims of violence rather than the perpetrators of violence. In matter of fact people with mental illnesses are up to 15x more likely to be the victims. And people with mental illnesses only account for less than 5% of ALL types of violent crimes.
@SockMonkey Gaming It's the guns, not the people. That's why i think assault rifles should be banned.
GOLDY GOLDY What about them?
GOLDY GOLDY your that guy
The fact that you took the time to do this at this time! hell yeah dude love the dedication that's why I support you #FIRESQUAD
3 years later youtube finally unblocked his reaction to darkness
he had us in the first half, i’m not gonna lie
I listened to this song as soon as it came out and I was just waiting for this reaction
Song gives me chills every time
Eminem so good he didn’t even make a diss on Nick Cannon 👀🤪
Sent a few shots or “nicks” if you will 😂
Jake NHale 👀
He deaded that beef with a one liner.
"Some targets will get the killshot. Some I just barely Nick'd 'em."
No regrets
@@fishbrainCTRL Shit, I still gotta listen to that song. I had to stop for a minute in the middle of listening to the album because like Kevin Hart, "nooooooo ha... I wasn't readyyyyyy."
Tyron Turner For some adversaries, I carry big guns
So some targets'll get the kill shot
Some, I just barely nicked 'em

“Feels like I’m loathing in Las Vegas, haven’t got the vaguest why I’m so lost.” 👀
HollowJ oh shit I missed that.
Thought he said “haven’t got to Vegas while I’m so lost”
That’s way more dope. Glad you pointed that out.
That's what I caught as well, but haven't seen any of the reaction guys be amazed by it...it's like it passes them by
Alen Harb - There are just so many and you can also get caught up enjoying other aspects like inner rhyme schemes or the speed of it.
I had a dope line like that with a play on bayou
When I'm "by you",
I slice dudes, like you,
From six foot, to five two..
Dump you and your album in the "bayou,"
cuz when I'm through,
Nobody’s gonna find you,
Let alone “buy you”.
Whenever it's Eminem in the Tittle it should be " Pass Or Pass "
@Reischa Parker why you so triggered?
Reischa Parker eat shit
@Reischa Parker must be another triggered Eminem hater 🤦♂️
Correct
Pass or pass ? No no EMs had a lot of songs that are flat out garbage.
“Ammo for all of the hecklers” Heckler and Koch

U n Shaq the only ones I FW daily... Thanks for being consistent with it....
This is 2020's "This is America".
The reaction from 2:58 to 3:10 was epic. You can see the moment he senses where the song is going and the moment it finally hits him.
React to Godzilla immediately- he snapped on that one
One of my favorites off the whole album I can't sleep ether
Linscott exactly
Linscott same
This song is one of the most powerful songs I’ve ever seen...
This are the best Em songs, the ones were he tells a story. Absolutely love this type of rap.
"We gotta focus on our healthy mental states" - but in the US you gotta pay a lot of money to get help.... It is just a circle of violence
Max Volume Not to mention that time after time after time seemingly sane people just break and start shooting people. We have to kill the myth that psychologist can tell someone is insane from a 10 minute session. Everyone who met Ted Bundy said he was a nice charming guy. Meanwhile he was bashing women’s faces in.
Jaime actually most of these shootings, the people where diagnosed with mental illnesses. Some of them actually got the cops involved way before the shooting but nothing was ever done about it. So no mental illness is still the main issue. banning guns ain’t going to make crime stop.
thee gamer Not saying to ban guns but limit guns. I believe everyone has the right to self defence but an AR-15 with a 30 round clip is above and beyond. Teachers watch their students 8 hours a day but school shootings still happen. Do a quick google of the % of people who go into the psychological field. That percentage is who you’re asking to watch over the rest of the 300,000,000 people with the potential to own tools designed for mass murder. That sound realistic to you?
Jaime But why not go the rout of protect our self instead of stripping everything away. Why not try that first?why is the only thing you guys can think of is destroying our rights and protection. Instead we are giving the bad guys exactly what they want. They get to keep there’s and we lose ours. I just think my way is safer and makes more sense. It’s as simple as (if you where a mass shooter would you rather walk into a school with an armed guard or a school with a bunch of helpless children in a corner.) like logically my side makes sense. Your side is more of a what if.
thee gamer You realise your side is quite literally a “what if a good guy had a gun” scenario right? I don’t ever believe in banning guns. I also don’t believe anything more than a pistol and a shotgun is necessary for self defence. But man to man if you were a bad guy with the element of surprise are you telling me you couldn’t pull the trigger five times into a crowd before a “good guy” puts you down? Unless you want every man in America with a hand on their grips 24/7 and be on military style alert just in case someone reaches for their hip?
LayedBak nodding to the beat. Then the nod stops. This is when it clicks.
Most emotional song I have ever heard by em... He went deep with this !!! Totally 🔥 🔥
Deanna Durkee you should listen to mockingbird and toy soldiers
I listened to the whole album, Marsh is the best track imo. But daaaaamn he made a track with JUICE WRLD 😭 RIP
This whole song gave me chills man, the double meaning behind every single line. Eminem never disappoints with his tracks.
I feel like this is The Eminem Show 2 and darkness is “White America” part 2
Nigga stop tryna copy my comment
This song aint shit compared to white America.
Encore was the eminem show part 2
Yeah totally.
Hell yes
This whole song is a double entendre, ima just let u figure it out by yourselves
Joe Cruz is it because uses the song the sound of silence as a reference to America being silent about all the gun issues
Max Spears it’s a reference to Em’s career and personal life as a whole.
Ems whole catalogue is a double entendre if we are going to be honest lol
Scott Adam ok SCOTT tf kinda name is Scott sound like the next TF2 character stfu
Scott Adam DONT get me started on ur playlist
He's even got dudes name on the pill bottle.
First!!!! This is crazy Eminem
Just dropped one on all of us! Great song crazy ass music video
the shooter literally said "no prior" means he's been checked for the arsenal in the room, that means yea ppl dont need rocket launchers to defend themselves
Steven facts. It’s to fight off the government. Literally the second amendment is there to keep our government in check. When they take guns. They take all power.
@@gavinmiller1998 are you in any way serious? 1 - The government isn't scared of your guns.
Vladimir Gertner they will when they realize the military will not fire upon American citizens and no one will fight for them..
Big Bearded Man thank you I didn’t want to waste my time with him.
@@premiumpandagaming Well then, you don't need guns. Again, pretty much the same argument, if the point is in the army "not firing upon american citizens", what's the actual problem?
How many heard Eminem say “double entendre” right after the that’s a lot of shots bar?
Kristian Boreliz I did
I DID
As if it was recorded in ultrasonic or something...
I loved every part of the song, except that, which I HATED. Why would he do that? So stupid
2:18
4:47 *Damn that part was insane the visuals and Em rapping* 🤯😢 *Em still da 🐐 in 2020*
Just heard Marsh on new album. He's a genius. Hows this man still surprising every drop
“I got ammo for all the hecklers” as in heckler and Koch... madness
This song can play on a continues cycle...it ends how its starts just with another incident...
This song hit hard on another level. A level that only Em can get on.
Even just the simple line when he says “im so much like my father. You would think that I knew him” eminem has always rapped about the absence of his father & the las vegas shooter’s father was a criminal. Got damn
When he mentioned the food festival shooting in NorCal, I legit bawled my eyes out because I was raised in that town.
yep, i'm not far from Dayton, and hearing it (even at the end) brought it full circle
I never thought about it like that 😔 when an act like that happens, the whole town feels it.
I was there the day before, with my family, my kids. It was a trip to hear it was shot up the next day.
People saying they hate this song because it's political and they don't wanna hear it. I say too bad, hear it. It happened. And no one should forget
I hope you lost someone you knew.
Eminem - Godzilla ft. Juice Wrld
pls.. 🔥🔥
Em's double entendre game is off the charts.
The first time I listened to this (without the video, just the track) it took me almost two full verses before I figured out where he was going. It's obviously easier to see if you watch the video.
Point is, his writing style on this track is on another planet. We've heard him do something similar on "25 To Life", where he appears to be talking about an ex; possibly Kim, but it's not until the last bar that he reveals he's actually speaking on the rap game.
"Darkness" takes that same style and dials it up to 11.
The guy's pretty good with a pen.
This song touches everyone who listens or watch it
So hyped to analyze this record. It's really a return to form, holy shit.
Kamikaze and his 2019 verses were his return to form
Dinosawr80 nah not Kamikaze lmao
Yeah great content and message. I love this kind of material that impacts people’s mentality. Not only beat and bars but it’s like a humanity lesson.
Alex Arce Yes , Kamikaze was😂foh
Double entendre. The way he starts off by making the listener think he's talking about himself and then flips it to the vegas shooter, crazy word play!! He also says double entendre at 1:09
Ayyyyyyy let’s gooooo Eminem in 2020 is 🔥🔥🔥
Damn first Mac Miller album got released and Eminem album drop at the same time!!!
Weve been blessed
Tech N9ne dropped today as well!!
NICE - you figured out the Las Vegas shooter part ALOT faster than other reactors! That's why I love your reaction man!
Our boy looks like he woke up in the middle of the night just to make this reaction, still fresh though!
I love how he makes it seem like his show and then ya realize it’s the Vegas shooter.
