"What I love about rap is it’s like puzzles to me. Words are like puzzles and it’s about trying to see what word can go here and how many words can I make. Like, if I can take a rhyme, like I’m real into the craft of just like. MC’ing.
So, I’m like, how can i make the words at the end rhyme, but maybe take some in between and like sandwich them, make them rhyme inside of the phrase and then come back outside and try to rhyme with the word that I ended on the snare.” - Eminem Interview on The Art of Rap
In this clip from Ice T’s Art Of Rap documentary, the lauded Slim Shady hits upon one of the key factors that has helped to mold both his revered freestyle game and penmanship and that is the willingness to refine your writing.
Refine Your Rhymes
Although Eminem has pulled off obscene feats in an off the cuff fashion, such as sculpting the dizzying “Rap God” ‘off the dome’ in around six minutes, Em’s adeptness at contorting words at will may be a pleasure to behold, but it’s not a god-given talent.
Instead, it is something that has been honed over time, with Shady’s brain serving as a tireless assembly line of entendres, metaphors and intricate, multisyllabic experiments.
Where others take the path of least resistance, Shady looks at his rhymes from a bird’s eye view.
Meaning that when it’s time to step up to the plate and prove his skills, he’s already done the legwork and created a mental environment that’s conducive to turning out an exemplary 16 before he gets to the mic.
Plus, as he’s made clear, having a wider range of lyrical tricks means that you can retool any word to your will with the right manipulation of syllables.
“Yeah, it’s just in the enunciation. People always say that nothing rhymes with orange and that kinda pisses me off, because I can think of a lot of things that rhyme with orange.
If you’re taking the word at face value and just say orange, nothing’s gonna rhyme with it exactly.
But if you take it and make it more than one syllable, like -or-ange’, you could say like I put orange, four inch, door hinge in storage and ate porridge with George. You just need to figure out the science.” -Eminem on Anderson Cooper
Expand Your Vocabulary
Where some see limitations, Em is always seeking to expand his repertoire of tips and tricks and that blends neatly into the next element of Marshall’s approach that separated him from the pack from his days in the Rap Olympics all the way through to his current status as one of the greats and that is the desire to expand his vocabulary.
"Anderson Cooper- I heard that you used to read the dictionary
I want to be able to have these words at my disposal in my vocabulary at all times whenever I need to pull them out, somewhere they’ll be stored and locked away.” - Eminem on Anderson Cooper, 2:03
During his days on the underground circuit, Eminem commanded a fearsome reputation, leaving his fellow MC’s overmatched and outgunned.
“Everybody knew Eminem was the king of all that s**t”, reflected his D12 running mate, Bizarre. He was undefeated. He was like Floyd Mayweather in a rap battle.
Instead of being a matter of luck, Em’s prowess in the freestyle came down to the fact that he approached hip-hop with a scholarly eye, pursuing new words in the same manner that an honor roll student studies for his exams." - บันเทิง
How to Rhyme like Eminem:
Step 1: Be Eminem
Step 3: Only by being Eminem.
well damn. I guess I can't do it since i'm not eminem. 😥
Im good id rather not be the influencer of millions that I made pills and drugs addicts so cool that they did them and some are addicted and even died because they looked up to him. Id rather be the nobody that I am to the world and broke than to have that on my conscience 👍
@@popacap haters gon' hate
@@popacap u just mad u aint rich and famous
He's rapping without even realizing that for a good part of this. That's pure talent right there.
👊
I'd say more of it is hard work.
Listen to this video with ur eyes closed. I'm sorry but you're wrong
And obviously discounting the times he's actually trying to rhyme since that's not what u were talking about
yeah reallyy bs comment from john¨

@@nymphs89
Em does lots of internal rhyme schemes and has almost always had a huge emphasis on extensive multisyllabic external rhyme schemes. He's the best at it
Em’s definitely a Genus in own Right!!! 💯💪🏾🔥
Nah but what species tho
Eminem is valid proof that we don't NEED English class is highschool.
Nice world play. Genus, Genius.
@@EazymoneyBicch thats funny cus the amount of people where English isn't their first language or barely spoken or spoken at all that have said that Eminem taught them English is crazy, he should publish his own dictionary.
@@lilfridge5652 Harry Mack best freestyler ever
At first when I started rapping, I wasn't bent on learning how to freestyle. But when I met drew on TH-cam I decided to give it a go and it's been working great. During the holidays, I freestyled in front of my fams and it felt great. I still need more practice especially on rhyming. Thanks to this video on how Eminem does this shit, I think I can get better. Thanks for the video Drew, I really appreciate.
Thank you for supporting EM. AND being a fan.. RESPECT, BOSS. HE'S THE G.O.A.T. ILMA&F
@@rebeccamathers3856 You know it !!!
Dope! Glad to inspire you Dbhdaz!
I genuinely do not get why this dude gets so much hate, he is 50 years old and he is literally still rapping his ass off, I don't even get 5% of the lyrics and rhyme schemes he's spitting without watching breakdown videos or reaction videos or going on genius, but the ones I do I'm like wtf he said that this dudes a genius, pretty much every bar he's spitting rn is littered with wordplay, don't even get me started on his rhyme schemes and flows and story telling and freestyles and rap battles and diss tracks, and humour and whatever other thing that makes him one of the greatest rappers of all time if not thee greatest ever. Go listen to his songs ya fucking dumbasses he's an elite emcee, period. Dudes the 🐐.
lol have you heard some of the shit he has said I’m a fan but you’re bound to turn off a fuck ton of people as an artist that way 😂
@Rob305 yeah as a really big Stan I will admit his fans are pretty retarded and dumb but at least they're not toxic like Playboi Carti fans and NBA Youngboy and Kanye fans, they're just dumb.
@@TrillVinity what you mean like the corny bars? Yeah he has bars that aren't the best but they're still bars at least he's using his brains, he still has a lot of good bars for every bad bar there is.
I can break down Eminem songs decently, but I still miss a lot 100%.
There is so much that it's hard to catch everything. There's so many double meanings it's impressive.
@@danield4679 I know bro even his bars I do get like obvious ones but just how genius they are like when he says Im watching my pupils getting cornier and I don't smoke but I got paper to be blunt I'm rolling in dough and if you want I can give the Boston marathon a run for its money, those are just a tiny miniscule of the ones I got first listen and can remember, there's so many hidden ones where it's just bar after bar and they have like 5 different meanings, it's actually crazy how hard he pushes the pen and its even crazier how much fucking hate he gets, it pisses me off cus the small stuff I do get or do search up and realise I'm like how tf has no one ever said that before that's genius.
It always cracks me up when he just talks it sounds like hes about to rhyme
I have to say, this is about THE BEST description of Em i have ever heard.
Eminem is untouchable in rap!
Eminem is the GOAT
Yes he is but Harry Mack best freestyler ever
I'm not a big fan of em but he is the G.O.A.T. he certainly can breathe and put most modern rappers in a casket but more importantly he has inspired more to do the kind of lyrical rap with a message em is famous for without em rap wouldn't be what it is today
HARRY MACK GREATEST FREESTYLER ON EARTH
Harry Mack says hi 👋
So, why aren't you a fan. RESPECT, HE'S THE BEST.. 🙂
@@oomz1975 .. HI
There's rap today?
2:36 and I think that's what made him the best Lyricist ever in my opinion I mean the way he does things with words I don't think anyone will ever be able to do that as good as him. Now people are either going to hate what I said or love what I say. Either way it doesn't matter because I guess it's an opinion you can't really say 100%, who's the best right but in my opinion he is the greatest Lyricist ever and I'm really glad that I got to see this from the beginning to what he is now and what he will be because I don't think he's even done growing yet like there's still more he can do it's crazy
He's perhaps the most know for it.
However Lupe Fiasco is another level, he's *deep* into the decoding side to it. Lupe setup The Society of Spoken Art (SOSA) after achieving all his goats he's basically on a side-quest 😂
SOSA, is a guild that brings established and aspiring rappers together to hone their verbal prowess and master the fundamentals of linguistic and semiotic methodology. Here's Lupe's intro at MIT, where he's a regular visiting artist:

Eminem always steals the show or song he is in no matter whose song he is in. The dude takes over everything he does
Just listen to him having a normal conversation like that.. Its already in perfect rhyme! The guys a natural
Eminem isn't the only one who would pick up a dictionary and treat it like any other book by simply reading it. When I was young, I also would read the dictionary. Some words would lead me to look up the meaning of other words and it would become a snowball effect. My mom was my inspiration. Whenever I would ask her what a word mean, she would tell me to look it up. She would never give an answer. When I would ask how to spell it, she would tell me to "sound it out". This helped me with my chosen profession as an adult. I still read the dictionary, except now, it's not a hardcopy. I'm doing it on the internet.
I’m glad he still alive doing what he love Eminem can rap man definitely one of the greatest rappers of all time
Shout out to Tupac. He had the third highest unique words used despite having a much shorter career than the 2 above him. He had a few years whereas Eminem and Jay Z had 20+ years. That shows how smart he was.
"Where's my snare? There's no snare in my headphones 🎧"
-Eminem
The way I am
Relaxing and confidence is key. Gotta ride that beat. I can hear instantly people who are trying to clone rap flows
Thank you for your music and time and stuff
Thanks bro really love Ems Rap and your explanation help me a lot. Appreciate it.
I believe you are a genius because despite not being a native speaker, the way you rap and freestyle is beyond incredible. It's like music is genuinely in you. Congratulations
Em will always be in my top 5 hes a beast still. He just never stopped
Top 5 of what? He’s definitely top 5 of the white rappers, but black rappers he doesn’t crack the top 10
@@enriquestewart5762 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂🙄🙄🙄🙄👆👆👆
@@anthonymarusak4378 you guys protect your genre of music, we protect ours. Can Em rap? Sure. But white people and black people are different. Why is it so hard for whites to accept that we can’t relate to a Eminem? Any normal person Black or white can’t relate to Eminem with all the dysfunction and drug use
@Enrique Stewart Of rappers, period, black or white. Eminem is a goat and a lyrical genius. No matter what ignorance is spewed from his haters
@@Invaluable1 goat of white rappers. There are rappers that can make hits and don’t have to be as lyrical. Stop trying to Elvis Eminem on to hip hop. It won’t work
Thanks, I love it..greatness done :))
Gotta say somethin. The vocabulary record was for mainstream artists. Aesop Rock has been proven to have the largest vocabulary recognized (and analyzed) in rap. Just had to put this out there cuz em is far from having the largest vocab. He’s actually my favorite rapper (tied with Tech) but K-Rino’s vocab trumps his easily. No hate, just clarification
Aes the goat
Facts. There was only 93 artists in that list and included Michael Jackson, The Beatles and Elvis. Nobody is touching Aes's vocab record.
Slim still looks like the young shady he was back in the day🙌 Hellah props for Eminem
Thanks Drew!!
I think the reason why it always sounds like Em is about to rhyme when he talks, is because he cant shut it off, its not a job, or hobby, or fun for him, it is him, he studies it, eats knowledge, hones it, I can imagine bars are constantly floating around his sub subconscious at all times, he has no off switch, even doing mundane things, his mind wanders to a track he wants to perfect, is most likely a perfectist that thinks the art he creates is never good enough...
Well this is a great video thank you for this very interesting
Frfr I just love the craft
that is what i need now ayyay thx!!!!
Jaw dropping... shopping and popping...
His a legend!
Good video drew, can you make a video about sad rap songs, because i feel like it's hard for me to write a sad song
Interesting... I feel Exactly the Opposite...🤔
Hey man
I write heaps of rhymes.
My advice to you, is.
Brain storm of what topics you want to be on the track.
And how you want to deliver them.
Put them in a way, that sounds like a lot of people can ride too
I hope that helps.
Check out my own track, called "goodnight" it's probably the most emotional song I've written.
Cheers yo
Banjoe
His talent is ridiculous!
Cool vid..... interesting
Dis why he's the goooooaaattt💯💯
My guy its a fucking God giving talent
Eminem is the best to ever do it 🔥
The ten dollar words in the narator's repertoire is quite impressive as well !
yo man i tell you :
syllables within fking syllables within that 2 syllables within thoese 5 syllables..crazy man
He grew up he said his temper is gone but his passion it hungers for it ..
Assembly line.. I get it.
I read dr Zeus and pick up on how to rhyme simple words. Also I have clued into 2 syllable words is usually the max I will go to make myself a lyrical master.
Bad ass 💎💎🔥🔥💎💎
👊
I want harry Mack to freestyle for Em! I’d love to see his reaction
With comp n money ❤
Heck yea! Orange, borin, Lauren, Foreign, joinin, aorta, flooring...😊😃
My thoughts on using memorized sentence(s) in freestyle rap:
Freestyling involves using your fluid intelligence and ability to come up with clever rhymes that make sense and fit the lyrical environment created in the rest of the freestyle rap (or the opponent's insults in a rap battle) as well as crystallized intelligence in the form of remembering a large arsenal of words, their definitions, their rhymes (and alternate rhymes). As such, he's prepared himself by honing these aspects of his mind, so memorizing phrases to use in freestyling doesn't really bother me since it's basically the same as any other aspect of rapping. Memorizing a phrase is useless unless you know when and where to use it for its best effect, just like any other single word or thought. It's all about using what you know to create something new, and as long as he hasn't written & memorized an entire song, it should be fine. If he did do that, he wouldn't be able to be adaptive or organic with his responses in a battle or his flow in an impromptu freestyle, so it would be pointless anyway.
Some might see using a memorized phrase as going against the whole point of freestyle, since it's not "thought of" on the spot. Then again, neither is the rest of his vocabulary, and yet he uses those. Neither is his ability to freestyle either, since that's been practiced and honed for years before stepping onto a stage, and yet he brings that with him, too. A phrase or a couple of sentences is just another tool in his arsenal, and all that matters is how he uses these tools to create something fluid and responsive in an unpredictable environment. That's the spirit of freestyle, at least in my opinion.
Em definitely has a doctorate in rap.
All songs in the world would be awesome, IF Eminem sings them. He's the G.O.A.T.
That video was great though words you can't use in rap or something like that I forgot what it was called but that was hilarious
Triple entendres spat subconsciously is my special weapon 🤣 I have to listen bk to the live gas to hear all the meanings. Collabs all day hmu I'll make you some VIP gas to upload
Eminem is a bad ass 😎
I also feel like being determined you have to do that in anything if you want to get better that's just life in general is to be determined sometimes I forget that. I mean I'm a lazy procrastiness those two things together not good so I got to drop that with the quickness I think that's the next thing I'm going to work on stop being lazy stop procrastinating try 100% be determined whatever it is that I go for I don't think I've ever given anything 100% before that's a sad thing
Good video 👍
👊
I'm not a rapper, but I'm a BIG ,BIG , BIG EMINEM FAN. 😍😍🥰🥰🥰🥰
Eminem freestyles rap like a God
The craft! xD I'll make orange rhyme and leave lemons in da freezer. xD
Hm
xD mysterious takes bro mysterious takes@@mikkey246
;) ;) @@mikkey246
Last time u ryme like CIA explains u every word of Detroit slang before u rap❤
I want to know if he gets the beats to rhyme over first, and fits the lyrics on top?
Or if he just takes whatever lyrics he wrote, and spits it over whatever beat.
Because if he has the beats already, its a bit easier to create a rhythm around that...
If he writes the words first, thats insane because he's coming up with rhythmic elements too!
One of my favorite part about Em's rhymes is how rhythmic and bouncy it is.
Eminem bad you bad. ..rapping god
thats some good edeting
I would love to make a movie with Marshall Mathers I think that would be awesome I hit him up on Twitter I know that's going to go anywhere but hey it doesn't hurt
Difference between me an Em I listened to only instrumentals for a solid year. Only way your gonna sound original flow / cadence wise end of
He says "puzzle" .. I say "mathematical equation" - I know exactly how his thought process is bc I can totally understand what he means.. I sleep and dream about a verse and spend 3 months thinking about 16 bars until perfected .. I can wake up with half the song done within minutes sometimes after 2 weeks of not being happy with anything I have thought of so far. I get compared to him, logic, mac, and NF.
he says "puzzle", you say "mathematical equation". either way, it's like magic
Sup man still waiting for that one on one
Hey I’m first love this channel ❤❤
Eminem is one of my favorites but no one holds a candle freestyling by Locksmith
Freestyle vs off the dome.
Tho there’s truth to #1 there are people who are simply born w/the gift to freestyle incredibly, my man ran circles around mfr’s in school & he runs w/Immortal Technique now #CF #RebelArms #ConstantFlow #BMR
He wrote kill shot in 12 minutes. 🔥 🐐
As for vocabulary, I'd really like to see how Aesop Rock is doing !?? Check out a song like Big Bang...
This Eminem guy obviously has not met me LOL not trying to start anything but I believe I have game
Not one of the greats? The greatest. Everyone one else are just trying to keep up.
Harry Mack is the man
Yo, don't get me wrong, I like Harry Mack, but what he does is at more a simplistic level in order to continuously throw bars on the spot using objects in the scene and the present environment he's performing in for better audience enagegement and bigger reactions, but he always comes back to using his name to transition lines in order to adjust his next bar to rhyme with the words he was provided by the viewers to rhyme with in the beginning, which is something I think he's been working on, but I imagine its better branding for doing what he's doing where he's at currently at and trying to get more exposure. He's broken down his way of doing it one of his videos but he will even tell you he doesn't get close to touching EM in terms of off the top freestyles with extremely sophisticated and complex bars, along with subtle but direct disses that take you a bit to analyze the metaphors and symbolism he tends to use to really have those types of disses hit harder. Still got love for Harry Mack though and hope he continues to grow out his following to get his name on the map.
I can understand his raps. I can't say I like everyone of his songs but he's definitely a go to on my play list.
But I'm old school. I'm from the Era of Big L and Das Efx......Das Efx is serious context driven metaphor rap. If you don't understand the context of what they're saying they will lose you. Its the reason why I even listen to the ones most of you don't... such as Celph Titlted, Vinny Paz, Merkules, NF, Vin Jay, Apathy.....and a host of others. People give Kanye a lot of props...and I'm not going to hate on him but when you hear the guys above, your minds will be blowm.
KRS One said it best...'Rap is something you do but hip-hop is something you live'.....
5 a.m. and watching this video💀 but I do freestyle for myself sometimes 😂
3:46 almost there with yah
That thumbnail what a handsome man rapper or not🥰
There will never I mean NEVER be another EMiNEM it's impossible
ICE T IS LIKE WHAT THE FUCC ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT
5:21 yoke the smoker? Its Yoke the Joker 🃏
Yeah it's so hard to rhyme Eminem do Internals, Multis, Wordplays its so hard to do at the same time.
That’s crazy that’s how I explain it too wayyyyyy before I heard this tho
guy in the first clip sound like he's abt to say "yea I'd like to solve the puzzle"
I'm against all odds simple with good reasons
hummmmm Harry Mack is the Freestyle Of the top of his head champion !!!
Em is easily the best rapper ever. Anybody who says he isn’t (not to call out anybody) is either 1.black and lowkey bias towards other black people without realising 2. Doesn’t actually understand rap and music for what it truly is 3. Is a kid. Ain’t never heard anybody who raps as good as him to this day. I don’t even like Eminem’s music, don’t listen to him. Apart from sone of his music for motivation for fights, but it’s no real challenge to pick who is the best. Nobody has even come close
rap god was not freestyled, he litterally said that as a joke
Harry Mack says 👋
Hey drew, I’ve been watching you for a looonggg time. Been taking tips since day 1 but I got a problem. I rap a lot like Eminem. Could you make a video on how to STOP rapping like your favorite artist and rap like yourself?
You'll have to just continue write eventually you will find who you are.
Am gonna have to say it iv never ever seen Eminem freestyle like Harry Mack
Permutations and Combinations
3:50 hold up if I download that app or pay for whatever and it doesn't work do you guarantee my money back because I don't know is it worth it it'd be dope to be able to do some stuff like that I tried I think I did one thing that was okay ish but that's about it I'm more of a Movie Maker I mean that's what I truly want to do but it would be dope to be able to know exactly how to rhyme things and do it properly and figure it out
Just watching for fun
Wow
Wrote a rap song but I'm not sure about it can you give me any tips please
Writing rap god in 6 min off the top was just a joke, he probably put a lot of time for that song
Nahhh man...
Get into your zone and you’d be shocked what you’d creatively accomplish. Once wrote a song fueled by emotion for 2 minutes beginning to end with no pauses.
Thank you. A lot of these fools believe anything they hear haha like he was so sarcastic when he said it took him 6 minutes
omg dude doesn't know what sarcasm is... that's hilarious and sad.
Em was joking. he wasn't about to say, " yeah, it took me two weeks to perfect it"
@@xnbreezy7853 Your 'song' wouldnt even remotely have the complexity of Rap God and you cant write shit in 2 minutes.
He most definitely joked and it should be naturally obvious for someone with a common sense but then people like you show up
@@charlesst-aubin5620 it would litrally be impossible to write that many letters in 6 minuites I would say.
