And to this day, Stevie hasn't yet caught the most underrated bar in the song: "karma's HEADed for ARMageddon (...) I'm going in, already got an ARM and HEAD in"🔥 That shit so subtle but fire
That's absolutely disgusting, and very likely he actually meant to do that based on the "already got an arm and head in" part. Jeeeesus, lots of times people try to reach to make shit crazier than what it actually is, but I don't think this one is a reach
100% ... the feeling i get from that line is the old saying "sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can never hurt me." and Em was like, watch what I can do.
Above all else to me Eminem's superpower is his story telling ability. So that's why I think Bad Guy is Eminem's best verse. Not only did he show you a movie with his words but he gave you insight into how he feels allowing us as fans to be closer to him.
Yeah I've listened to Bad Guy a lot more than Stan just for that last verse. But it just shows his reach to his fans old and new that depending on who you ask they will say either one is better. Not many sequels are good enough to be put next to a certified classic.
@@DRaiders Bad guy is probably in my top 5 Em songs. Just the beat, the verses, the chorus, everything about it has so much reply value. Absolutely love it.
Bad guy involves more skill. Stan is an all time classic don’t get me wrong, which is why the pressure to even make a sequel is thru the roof. And yet, Em surpassed my expectations with bad guy. Stevie actually put it pass best friend when he did the 2.0, but he seems to keep forgetting to mention it
Majority of us “white folk” absolutely love tiger woods. Color never made a difference. The only thing we were jealous of is not having a badass name like Tiger woods. Lol
Best Friend is the flip-side of the same coin of Medicine Man. 1) One side is all about the personal feelings of true love for his friend and struggles to reach the top of the mountain. 2) The other side is about the personal feelings of struggles to reach the top of the mountain DESPITE all the hate that got in the way. That is why they are so hard to decide which is "better", because they are EQUALLY good, just approaching two different angles to reach the same level of skills. That is why it depends on how you "feel" at the moment on which one will reach you more. You want to feel the "love of support along the way", you obviously go with Best Friend. You want to feel the "f*** you for doubting me", you obviously go with Medicine Man.
I think Best friend and Medicine man are better verses, but Bad guy just hits differently because of the feeling and honest reflection on himself. I love that verse!
I went to see Eminem in 2014 and he opened with that verse..... The curtain dropped and he began then when the beat drops he threw down the mic stand and went for it, Goosebumps still to this day.
Nobody understands how much Em wears his heart on his sleeve and it completely goes over all the haters heads. I'm glad people see it cause I always feel alone
Last verse in bad guy is just something i will never be able to wrap my head around man.. FOR ME it is 100% one of the best verses he ever wrote and probably will
Wtf 🤯 I was at the gym last night listening to Medicine Man and literally thinking "I wonder if and when Stevie will do his 2.0 reaction to this, that would be fire. Or does he not do those anymore?" Then this is the first video I see from you when I wake up today 🤣
Tbh it doesn’t sound crazy at all, as a Em fan it’s pretty common to listen to medicine man in the gym and if you fux with Stevie as well you obviously want him to do Em greatest verses and as he’s doing a lot of 2.0s many people with a similar background would have had the same thought in you situation. It’s just how our brain works.
@@tobimontana61 nah cuz that was my first time listening to medicine man in many months and I just got back into my gym routine this week after over a year off 🤣
What that tells me is what I already believe, only people still thinking about racism are colored people, just trying to project racism on white people. We accepted Tiger and they Shun Eminem TO THIS DAY. smh.
Also bcuz no one gives a shiz abt golf.. It's a boring old ppl sport.. While rap is a young gamers game and young ppl keep up with it. Ppl talk abt rap more than golf.. Being a brown person myself the only golfer I know is tiger Woods.. So obviously Em has more eyes on him than tiger..
actually he wasnt embraced more than em has been. tiger faced A LOT of racism and backlash his first years. the things people would call out during games was disgusting honestly. I would just say that music have a MUCH bigger crowd attracted than golf, therefore the hate is easier to see/hear against eminem.
PS: In regards to the Tiger Woods in golf vs Eminem in Rap, as a "white boy" growing up? To be honest, I was EXTREMELY proud of Eminem making it in rap NOT due to his race, but due to his TOPICS. I was listening to NWA, 2Live Crew, LL Cool J, EMPD, Wu-Tang and others at the time, but mostly just to "vibe and bounce" because of the BEATS. But with Em, it was the LYRICS AND TOPICS that got to me. No other rapper, at that time, was talking about being from a broken home, dealing with parent problems, escaping from being bullied due to being white in dominated black schools, or basic TEEN ANGER like Em was. So for me, the "pride" of loving Eminem comes more from how his topics and lyrics were helping me release my own 'anger at the world' due to my situation at the time that most of the 'rap community' either ignored, didn't rap about at all, or simply refused to rap about because of the thinking that it was 'white problems'. In short, I was sick and tired of the "gangster rap", the "drug slinging" rap, the "club scene" rap, or "spending money on bitches and hoes" rap. But Em rapping about father problems, mother problems, being ignored at home and school, putting up with being bullied or fights due to different skin colors or interests? THAT type of rap was hitting "home" far closer than other artists at the time. The fact that Em was WHITE? It didn't matter, because it was skill, lyrics, topics and "anger fueling it" that really mattered to me. Now, decades later? It STILL isn't about Em being white. It is about Em being SKILLED enough to remain on top of the mountain looking down at all the other rappers and DARING them to challenge his abilities.
I see nobody here talking about the VerZus last night between KRS-ONE and Big Daddy Kane. These legends are prolly way befor alot of your times but these two are the MASTERS of what Em does and was raised studying before he ever picked up a pen. There are others from that era but Kane & KRS are the rulers of ALL the forms of lyricism. Content, concepts, punchlines, metaphors, entendres, schemes, stories, extended schemes, similes etc... These two MCs are the reason Em is NOT the Goat because as long as these men are breathing they hold the crowns. They perfected all these forms of wordplay, they did them the best and have consistently been killing shit around the world. They just not the media darling rappers that get praised by rap fanatics that are really for outside the culture and never lived it or grew up in it during its inception. If you never had a crew of MC's, graffiti writers, breakers (B-boys) and a Dj you can't really relate to the purest form. I say all that to say I know most of you like Stevie think Eminem is the highest level if this thing we call Hip Hop? No. No diss but there's levels to this shit and though Em is a great he's still a student to these Master Teachers. Y'all go watch that VerZus and take notes like a young Eminem did and watch the realest of EMCEES hold court.
@@justinatest9456 Nobody real cares what color Em is. Imo he gets more spotlight in him BECAUSE he's usually the only white guy around most times in a hip hop circle. People think he's the best cause thats all they study. People don't know WHY somebody like KRS is a beast. WHY somebody like Slick Rick or Kool G Rap or Cube are extremely deadly lyrically. Why somebody like Busta Rhymes or Redman or Wu Tang or Ceel Lo, Mystikal if they wanted could turn down the beat so you really hear the shit they saying and it would make you think twice and why lyrically they are rhyme terrorists just like Em but with even more tricks in their lyrical bags. If you ONLY study Eminem of course he thing he's the best. Cause you don't know what makes Method Man more lyrically superior cause you cant figure out the "method" to his madness? Why he's lyrically the Riddler of rap. Why Common has extended punchlines that you never picked up on that makes him deadly. Why Pharaohe Monch could do all the syllable miracles Em can do but better. Why E-40 has more styles and cadences in one song then rappers do their whole career. WHY Fabolous has quadruple syllable punchlines, Jay has the illest entendres, why Lupe is 100 miles ahead of most when it comes to schemes etc. If you only know Em's shit down to the word then of course you think he's the best without an in-depth study of all the other greats.
@@bigmarkmja you could say what you want but everybody talks about Em being white? Some of us dont give a fuck at all that he's white. He's not the best. MC's like Kurupt of Dogg Pound, Andre 3000, Deltron, Crooked I, Black Thought, Ghostface, Game, Lil Wayne, Pharaohe Monch, Ras kass, Jay Z, Ludacris, Inspectah Deck, Planet Asia, Damian Marley, etc would be Em's worst nightmare lyrically. All these lyrical acrobatics that y'all think only Em can do? Would get blown out the water fast against MC's that can do them too but
Lol Who is going to catch all Em's bars even if you listen to it 1000 times you are going to miss something....Best Friend and Medicine man to me are on the same scale depends what mindset you are in. Well done Stevie!
Best Friend refers to Em's best friend and it broke him when he passed. Medicine Man is Em stuntin' on a track named for his beloved mentor who launched his career into the stratosphere. It's only right that you are torn which album is more powerful; both have his closest friends as his source of inspiration.
Yes,one of best Em verses..i love so many verses of his,, it's impossible to pick best,but i really like the angry ones,or when Em did crazy cadence, spitting.. He's such a master of the Flow, Untouchable..;-)
Watching you get so hyped over Em’s abilities are the shit Stevie. I love how you keep it real. You’re not afraid to say what you feel and i dig that about you ! You, Knox , elixer, third Ernest and the two dads that react are my favorites. You fellas know what the F you’re talking about and you appreciate that genre deeply. It’s cool as shit to see. Keep up the quality reactions my homey.
This came out in 2015 and nobody was listening to this but the corny eminem stans and i was one of them .... Ever since kamikaze came out, all reactors now hear this.
Best Friend and Medicine Man 2.0 are Ems best verses personally. I wouldn’t put either above either or below either objectively. Those are both #. The only way I can put one above the other is what’s my mood subjectively, is it emotional where I’m open to inspirational style music or is it pissed/closed off where I’m opened to aggressive in the moment style music. 🤷.
I agree in my opinion best friend is 1 verse of all time. And medicine man 2 but he has so many even Till I Collapse. All those verses especially the 3 verse. The 🐐.
When he said the groundhog gopher line (go for) I was like okkkkayyy😂 it’s crazy I can listen to an em song a million times and end up finding something new every time..
I like you, Stevie 😄 It was wonderful to watch you revisit this song with new Eminem ears. This verse is top tier, for sure! Talent multiplied and delivered! Keep climbing, you will hit a mil soon 😃 You get me hype haha
Stevie is the reaction GOAT. Your passion for Hip Hop and these bars is second to none. Much love and respect Stevie. You are always open minded and give respect to the goats.
Tiger got love from the fans as most had never seen golf like it however I think Tigers challenge came from the crusty folk in the clubhouses, similar to how most of Ems challenges have come from within the hip hop community/culture. It’s a dope parallel
Dawg listen Stevie, sometimes I can't even express what these videos mean to me man, somehow you're able to provide me with mad confidence to keep moving forward in life and to carry on defeating what ever life throws at me. It's like a trance of uplifting energy, Just like Em inteneded his music to be. This video just made my day! thanks bro! 🔥🔥
Followed the “Doctors Orders” is also dope as fuck taking the intro/chorus and turning it into a deep double about following Dr Dre’s lead and gaining confidence from his confidence in him.
This Em verse, is one of my favorites of all time. I remember this track came out,and I heard the Em verse, I must of listened to it,50 times in a row.
I love the anger of medicine man, best friend had some crazy flows and fit the scheme of the title. I personally like medicine man because it takes too long to get engaged fully into best friend, and medicine man his captivating throughout.
You were 10000% correct on the time period when Tiger hit overnight AND Em It literally was overnight JUST like you said lol, he said “I’m here now so get used to it 😂 “
Am I the only one who thinks Eminem has an arsenal of prepared songs set to release after he dies? This man’s gonna literally haunt the game on some 2pac shit
I can quite honestly say as a white English fella old enough to remember Em coming onto the scene that not once did I think about a white man taking over 'black' music....his shock factor and attitude were way more important.
I find think white people who love eminem are racist. I just feel most of them say he is the absolute best because they could obviously relate to him more and and they couldn't relate to the street talk of most other rappers. I just don't like when stans get upset when people make a top 10 without eminem. it's their subjective opinion. they don't have to have it and I think in certain areas, other rappers are much better than eminem but EM is the king of multis and wordplay. I think guys like banks and cas are way better with punchlines. I think most eminem punchlines are kinda corny " it's my dick, harder than arithmetic" and shit like that
Say it how it is stevie 👏 you are the best at explaining and taking it apart for people to understand every bar you're a genius all the way from Scotland richie 🏴🇺🇸🎼🎼🎼🎼
Lol bruh... Bruhhhhhhh.!! Yo Knight, i ALWAYS got tht same energy EVERYTIME i listen to certain Em verses(like this one but I had to ⏸️& write this) & what im witnessing from u right now as the verse intensifies (from studio haunting to karma headed for armageddon part), the animated intensity im 👀 from u right now is dope af.!! & It only amps my energy when i watch!! That's 1of the reasons i fux w/u (&knox) cuz y'all APPRECIATE ALL THE GENIUS involved on a track w/ppl like Em.!! So i luv watch'n ppl (like u, knox, & LFR fam) listen/enjoy/react to Em & the genius behind his craft.!!
“As sure as a mole is blind In my mind I'm still underground as a groundhog And I'ma go for mine, like a whole furrow just tryna dig up some gold and diamonds and coal to find.”
@@bestthemudafuckin I can get with that. Medicine Man is better due to the multiple styles in one verse, the grit in his voice, there wasn't any throw away bars (considering the amount of bars he spit), there were more "Gah Dayum" moments for me in Medicine Man.
Fun fact: Em used to open up concerts with this verse and he kills it live pretty much the same as on the recorded version. Go check and see for yourself Also - STIMULATE should be next!!
I'm not really into golf either. But when I talked to someone who was. It basically became you watched Golf to see who came in second, because it was a given that Tiger Woods was getting first place.
I've listen to this song a hundred times and everytime that I do, Em's verse gives me goosebumps. Goes to show how powerful his words are.
Same with me always gives goosebumps and also his last verse on Bad Guy
You mean it gave you "pins and needles" 😉
I can’t think of another rapper that makes goosebump music #ItsDifferent
...and Dres' production.
📠
This verse gives you that feeling of "I can go against the whole world and win"
Em is GENIUS!🔥
how about that beat building up too?! That fuckin drop is legendary for sure, i love it.
@@justing823 I totally agree🔥💯
And to this day, Stevie hasn't yet caught the most underrated bar in the song:
"karma's HEADed for ARMageddon
(...) I'm going in, already got an ARM and HEAD in"🔥
That shit so subtle but fire
That's absolutely disgusting, and very likely he actually meant to do that based on the "already got an arm and head in" part. Jeeeesus, lots of times people try to reach to make shit crazier than what it actually is, but I don't think this one is a reach
I just got it, thanks dude
sheesh
He did catch that bar this is my first listen so he might have edited the video my bad if that’s the case.
Thanks I didn’t catch that either
"Whoever said words are just words ain't heard me word em" is the most subtle but biggest flex a rapper could really say when you think about it. 🔥🔥🔥
It's Poetic
100% ... the feeling i get from that line is the old saying "sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can never hurt me." and Em was like, watch what I can do.
Facts
" I load up the most rhymes and open fire with a closed mind" the one and only eminem 🐐
The part that blows my mind and maybe isn't as impressive as I think it is, is the fact that he did this in one take.
Above all else to me Eminem's superpower is his story telling ability. So that's why I think Bad Guy is Eminem's best verse. Not only did he show you a movie with his words but he gave you insight into how he feels allowing us as fans to be closer to him.
with that topic i guess stan was
and he did that 21 years ago
what a genius
Stan was better
Yeah I've listened to Bad Guy a lot more than Stan just for that last verse. But it just shows his reach to his fans old and new that depending on who you ask they will say either one is better. Not many sequels are good enough to be put next to a certified classic.
@@DRaiders Bad guy is probably in my top 5 Em songs. Just the beat, the verses, the chorus, everything about it has so much reply value. Absolutely love it.
Bad guy involves more skill. Stan is an all time classic don’t get me wrong, which is why the pressure to even make a sequel is thru the roof. And yet, Em surpassed my expectations with bad guy. Stevie actually put it pass best friend when he did the 2.0, but he seems to keep forgetting to mention it
2015 eminem's deep,aggressive voice was goated
i wish he still had this voice and i think that's what's missing for him today like the emotion on his voice just isn't there
Facts, though he did have a similar voice and emotion in Kamikaze and some songs on MTBMB part 1 🔥
He just doesn't want to do that anymore. He chill now.
When he's does this voice everyone says he's always angry. But I love the anger and aggression
05-07 voice best imo. Not lyrically, just how it sounded
Eminem doesn't have to be your favorite rapper but he's so far above everyone its almost unfair. Same can be said of Tiger Woods
Imo the last verse of the Bad Guy is up there with Best Friend and Medicine Man. That verse gives me goosebumps everytime I listen to it
Majority of us “white folk” absolutely love tiger woods. Color never made a difference. The only thing we were jealous of is not having a badass name like Tiger woods. Lol
A majority sure but the minority of elitist white golfers weren't quite so open minded
from @12:25 to 14:27 fucking mind blown! just the build up on his voice along with the beat and the lead up to that ghost scheme 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
It's almost like his voice is shaking by the end of that scheme too, straight fire!!! Pins and needles for sure lol.
@@HipHop-vg7cd the way he says “Lou Rawls” gives me chills bruh
Can you imagine Em going in the booth and doing this verse in 1 take and walk out again like a boss.
Mic drop
Melted mic in a puddle of plastic and flickering electrics, flame still burning.
End
Ems verse on this song I always play in the gym for my super heavy sets. That energy and lyrical content just gets you hype
Also Medicine Man is my favorite verse. Every time im in the car and this comes on I rewind his verse 2 or 3 times and I'm amp for the whole day.
When Em is gone he will finally ascend to GOAT status even to the haters.
Even tho most consider him a goat now. The rest will admit it
Best Friend is the flip-side of the same coin of Medicine Man.
1) One side is all about the personal feelings of true love for his friend and struggles to reach the top of the mountain.
2) The other side is about the personal feelings of struggles to reach the top of the mountain DESPITE all the hate that got in the way.
That is why they are so hard to decide which is "better", because they are EQUALLY good, just approaching two different angles to reach the same level of skills. That is why it depends on how you "feel" at the moment on which one will reach you more. You want to feel the "love of support along the way", you obviously go with Best Friend. You want to feel the "f*** you for doubting me", you obviously go with Medicine Man.
One of his best verses ever
One of THE best verses ever
Man, watching you get better and better with these reactions has been dope. Keep going bro. We rocking with you in this house to 1 million and beyond.
Happy birthday to greatest rapper of all time.Love you Em.Respect Stevie,do you thing good as always.Respect from Bosnia,Sarajevo.♥️🇧🇦
"who ever said words are just words ain't heard me word em' "
this shit is underrated !

Bro “medicine man” is definitely up there with best friend definitely
The energy is unmatched!! When this song is on take away my driving license!!
If somebody told me "Tell me a verse that defines what Eminem is" I would say "listen to this verse", this verse is so perfect.
As I said in the first reaction this is one of those songs you can always go back to and get fired up.
This song is SLEPT ON for real. Some of their best work together 🔥

Woah!

That verse gives me goosebumps every time. I love how much you buzz off it, I can see the genuine admiration and I feel that. ❤️👌🏽
That beat drop was CRAZY!!
Armageddon, I’m goin in already got “an arm and head in” (Armageddon). That’s just one of those lines where I’m just like how the fuck lmao
I love how much Stevie loves Best Friend but for me Medicine Man always gonna be the best. The aggression gets me hype every time.

You, Knox , elixer, third Ernest and the two dads that react are my favorites. You fellas know what the F you’re talking about and you appreciate that genre deeply. It’s cool as shit to see. Keep up the quality reactions my homey.
This came out in 2015 and nobody was listening to this but the corny eminem stans and i was one of them ....
Ever since kamikaze came out, all reactors now hear this.
Ive seen this live at his last tour.. His verse is insane!
The descent plane line is a triple as well, like descent as go down but descent as in your ancestors
Best Friend and Medicine Man 2.0 are Ems best verses personally. I wouldn’t put either above either or below either objectively. Those are both #. The only way I can put one above the other is what’s my mood subjectively, is it emotional where I’m open to inspirational style music or is it pissed/closed off where I’m opened to aggressive in the moment style music. 🤷.
Bad guy third verse is Eminem’s greatest verse imo
I agree in my opinion best friend is 1 verse of all time. And medicine man 2 but he has so many even Till I Collapse. All those verses especially the 3 verse. The 🐐.
What is Medicine man 1.0? there's only one Medicine man song...
When he said the groundhog gopher line (go for) I was like okkkkayyy😂 it’s crazy I can listen to an em song a million times and end up finding something new every time..
He went harder on this track. Slayed it and packed a ton of shit onto this track! I like the energy more on this one.
Man your reaction came like a bday gift for my birth day (it's today). so THANK YOU I've been waiting for this one🔥
Happy bday
Happy Birthday!
@@devong1091 Thanks bro!
@@ACROBATON I'm a womenbut thank you very much
@@hieimorron8527 Thank you
I like you, Stevie 😄 It was wonderful to watch you revisit this song with new Eminem ears. This verse is top tier, for sure! Talent multiplied and delivered!
Keep climbing, you will hit a mil soon 😃 You get me hype haha
Best reactor ever! I love watching this guy wid em vids! Stevie my boy!🔥
Stevie is the reaction GOAT. Your passion for Hip Hop and these bars is second to none. Much love and respect Stevie. You are always open minded and give respect to the goats.
Tiger got love from the fans as most had never seen golf like it however I think Tigers challenge came from the crusty folk in the clubhouses, similar to how most of Ems challenges have come from within the hip hop community/culture. It’s a dope parallel
In my opinion this is ems best verse. The feeling this verse gives off is indescribable, its almost like he poked vodoo dolls
Stevie is the best reactor by far I love how you caught everything
Ayy yow Stevie! Appreciate the love and respect you give for Em.
I love your work Stevie
Dawg listen Stevie, sometimes I can't even express what these videos mean to me man, somehow you're able to provide me with mad confidence to keep moving forward in life and to carry on defeating what ever life throws at me. It's like a trance of uplifting energy, Just like Em inteneded his music to be. This video just made my day! thanks bro! 🔥🔥
Love Em when he's aggressive. This song is awesome.
Followed the “Doctors Orders” is also dope as fuck taking the intro/chorus and turning it into a deep double about following Dr Dre’s lead and gaining confidence from his confidence in him.
Arguably The Greatest Eminem Verse Of All Time!👊🏽🙌🏽🐐🔥💫💯
Medicine man because the energy in addition to the lyrics is just different. It’s chills every time
All I been listening is Eminem these past few days and watching your Em content
*It’s a 🔥 song and Eminem went crazy on his verse and the hook is crazy!* 💪🏽
True
This Em verse, is one of my favorites of all time. I remember this track came out,and I heard the Em verse, I must of listened to it,50 times in a row.
i feel that stevie def in his top 5 songs, best friend had more of a whole song feel, but the energy in his medicine man verse is crazy
I love the anger of medicine man, best friend had some crazy flows and fit the scheme of the title. I personally like medicine man because it takes too long to get engaged fully into best friend, and medicine man his captivating throughout.
My favorite Eminem verse. Thanks!
You were 10000% correct on the time period when Tiger hit overnight AND Em
It literally was overnight JUST like you said lol, he said “I’m here now so get used to it 😂 “
Am I the only one who thinks Eminem has an arsenal of prepared songs set to release after he dies? This man’s gonna literally haunt the game on some 2pac shit
ANGRY EMİNEM ! Just goosebumps...
I can quite honestly say as a white English fella old enough to remember Em coming onto the scene that not once did I think about a white man taking over 'black' music....his shock factor and attitude were way more important.
I find think white people who love eminem are racist. I just feel most of them say he is the absolute best because they could obviously relate to him more and and they couldn't relate to the street talk of most other rappers. I just don't like when stans get upset when people make a top 10 without eminem. it's their subjective opinion. they don't have to have it and I think in certain areas, other rappers are much better than eminem but EM is the king of multis and wordplay. I think guys like banks and cas are way better with punchlines. I think most eminem punchlines are kinda corny " it's my dick, harder than arithmetic" and shit like that
It's the beat change n his voice in how he uses in tone almost like he's vibrating like a rocket launch
Just joined your patreon my guy. Been rocking wit you since you started. Still can't believe your not at a Milly subs by now. Much love brother.
🥳🥳🥳🥳
Goosebumps all the time
Say it how it is stevie 👏 you are the best at explaining and taking it apart for people to understand every bar you're a genius all the way from Scotland richie 🏴🇺🇸🎼🎼🎼🎼
1 of my favorite verses from EM ever
I wanna say on 1 of ur other reactions I told u to check this 1 out
Been waiting for you to do this for 1 year!!!! Thank you ❤️🙌🙌🔥
One of my favorite songs OMG
Lol bruh... Bruhhhhhhh.!! Yo Knight, i ALWAYS got tht same energy EVERYTIME i listen to certain Em verses(like this one but I had to ⏸️& write this) & what im witnessing from u right now as the verse intensifies (from studio haunting to karma headed for armageddon part), the animated intensity im 👀 from u right now is dope af.!! & It only amps my energy when i watch!! That's 1of the reasons i fux w/u (&knox) cuz y'all APPRECIATE ALL THE GENIUS involved on a track w/ppl like Em.!! So i luv watch'n ppl (like u, knox, & LFR fam) listen/enjoy/react to Em & the genius behind his craft.!!
'Lucky You' in the back is FIRE for this video 🔥🔥🔥
Respect Bro!
You deserve what you built on social Media, youre an correct Dude, and EM did His Part too of course! 🤣✌️😇🎼♥️🕊️👍
“As sure as a mole is blind
In my mind I'm still underground as a groundhog
And I'ma go for mine, like a whole furrow just tryna dig up some gold and diamonds and coal to find.”
I've heard this song a dozen times! Insane! Nice breakdown!
This has to be up at the top of the EMvEM battle... 👀
"Medicine Man" is most definitely better.
idk man
i like how it sounds but the structure of best friends was genius
@@bestthemudafuckin I can get with that. Medicine Man is better due to the multiple styles in one verse, the grit in his voice, there wasn't any throw away bars (considering the amount of bars he spit), there were more "Gah Dayum" moments for me in Medicine Man.
@@teddyrubskin54 hmm thats facts too man
ok I'd go with medicine man now😮💨
Some Illuminati shit “for cole to find” cole stole that groundhog line 😂😂
And he spit this verse in one take 🔥🔥 Fuckin insane 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🔥🔥💯
Fun fact: Em used to open up concerts with this verse and he kills it live pretty much the same as on the recorded version. Go check and see for yourself
Also - STIMULATE should be next!!
He did when I saw him at Twickenham, London. Insane feels. Felt like he was levitating whilst doing this verse 🔥🔥🔥
Ive been to 6 concerts in detroit and hes never opened with it or ever did it
@@ghost1012 only overseas
One of the best songs I have ever heard in my life and it's so underrated! WTF em is a fkn monster
I love how caterpillar is playing in the background in the beginning lmao
He legit pulled a drive by on i.c.p. with paintball guns in Detroit before!
I love Em referencing "Drama Setter" and "Encore" on here.
I'm not really into golf either. But when I talked to someone who was. It basically became you watched Golf to see who came in second, because it was a given that Tiger Woods was getting first place.
Medicine Man , Best friend, chloroseptic remix for me are just sick!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY EM!!
one off his all time heavy hitters, along with sing for the mom, fine line, no apologies ect
