Why do these idiots attempt to make a lyric video without having the basic requirement of knowing the fucking lyrics. Like I get it was a bit more difficult before genius came along but jeez.
I thought I was the only one. All those fucking mistakes, man just wore my fuckin nerves dude. I mean, google the fuckin lyrics or SOMETHING! Anything would’ve been better. And it was all basic shit too!
It’s also a double about his current status in the game at that time. He’s also acknowledging the criticism Relapse got prior to this. He also did that in Not Afraid. And a couple other songs on the album. He would reference the backlash of previous albums quite often.
@@wesatrk actually lot of people thought that but its only about the rap Olympics. This whole song referencing when he was getting on and meeting Dre. Before he blew up.
Em in the song, 'almost famous' is also literally walking you through the timeline of his career, in chronogical order in each verse. Referencing his loss in the rap olympics, his new slim shady ep , meeting dre in the studio for the first time etc.
The “terrible towel” reference was still off of the Pittsburgh Steelers bar. They use to wave their yellow dish rags around to excite the stadium. Except Eminem is waving his chainsaw around 😂
Or they should listen to Rock Bottom When I'm gone Hailie song Mockingbird Beautiful Like toy soldiers Going through changes Difficult You're never over Legacy Stronger than I was Beautiful pain The list goes on
@@brandonayong5823 yeah those are great too but in guts over fear he talks about his early days and his harsh lyrics and he rather make a not afraid 2 than a we made u type of track. Guts over fear goes in hand w bad guys 3rd verse in that kind of context
@@Redonus83 so many people agree it’s a “commercial” album but it was just so good start to finish. There’s not many albums that are truly perfect where I can listen to every song top to bottom n that is one of them.
@@hamubice1551 I thought so too but I guess some more hip hop heads hates it bcuz how pop it is and I can understand that.. During that time a lot of popular music had this same beat blueprint that pop/R&B/hip hop used and so did this album have that typical 2008-2011 sound.. I don't hate it but I don't love it either.. But the choruses in this aren't all that great either
I know people get exhausted from him yelling on this album, but that's my favorite style and flow he's used. The flow isn't so out of the ordinary that it throws you off sonically, and the aggressive voice delivery gets you hype and brings the audio euphoria.
YOOOO Hopsin jsut dropped a new song literally just now. Also still in the middle of watching this and the reactions is dope af, always awesome to see someone appreciate bars as you do.
Shoot man throwback. I love this song, such a banger. Simple and aggressive delivery yet complex word play. So much to break down in this 👌 “Y’all are Eminem backwards, you’re menimE” FIRE. This whole track is fire 🔥
@@vincenzoi8405 so every time someone is too stupid to type the correct lyrics I have to make my own video? Nah I’d rather just call them retarded for taking all that time to make one and then putting in words that aren’t even in the song.
You know what bro I've had time to think I took a smash after work Mauled it over. And you were right and I should not have been so aggressive you didn't deserve that. People are a illiterate a******'s he should have done a better job.
@@vincenzoi8405 aye shoutout bro, more people need to be able to comment again and say that type of thing. It de escalates the comment section and makes them so much better to read. 💯
@@BeefPapa12 i cant lie i was locked up in 2010 n when i heard not afriad on the radio for the first time to me n alot of others loved that song lol, that was em on his inspirational shit lol
Not sure if it's been said but the bar pissed in his wheaties the next line 'peace treaties' is meant to sound like piss treaties. Also might be a reach but when he mentions "I'm at your throat like strep, I stay strapped with a pen" he's also scheming with strep and pen short for penicillin. Years on and just catching these extras in his lyrics!
I just woke up, saw this, clicked on it. Heard Eminem going in in the intro and paused and got out of bed and said out loud “this needs a cup of coffee”
That line about Mini-Me, the allusion to Eminem backward which is « Meni-Me »... daaaaang! Lol that song is sick, love to workout to this, it’s charged with crazy energy!
OOOOMMMGGGG !!! Finally !! Been requesting this for quite some time now. Thanks Stevie !!! Btw .. this comment is posted prior to listening to your reaction but i know for a fact it'll be fiiiiire!!
I have to come home from work and find out that you FINALLY REACTED TO MY MOST REQUESTED SONG FOR A REACTION!!!!! I Remember when you first started your channel I was like, hey!!!!! Do ALMOST FAMOUS. And then, a few months back with you becoming a bigger channel I was like, hey, since you're almost famous now, do ALMOST FAMOUS!!!!! Thank you for finally doing it!!!! This made my day!!!!
Outside of medical and chemical technical names, antidisestablishmentarianism is considered the longest word in the english language, so that's why Em chose it (plus using that word in a rhyme is just hilarious)
Dude, just now have come across your channel, and I appreciate your reactions and actually stopping and explaining and trying to really understand the raps instead of all these other reaction videos where they are just high and have no idea what's going on.
Also, the bar about Vern Troyer and "Menime's" is a reference back to the previous bars about Mike Myers and Austin Powers. He's calling back to his own shit.
Some additions: The main hook is a reference. You dream of changing places=you wish you were him; I have been changing faces=Hes not just Eminem, he also raps as Slim Shady and Marshel Mathers; You cannot fill these shoes there is too much to loose= No one else can replace him because hes too big in the game. Also this is from the Recovery Album that was released after he relapsed into drugs and overdosed, that is the battle that he lost that wont happen again. The line "Distorting my mem-ory" has a literal distortion in the word memory which is why there is a pause in the word, but its also what allows it to stay on beat. The line about going back to 9th grade to school him is a reference that he never made it past 9th grade in school.
This is painting the picture of his career trajectory. First verse is underground hungry Em and it goes from there, lost Battle to MC Juice at Scribble jam 97’, then meeting Dre etc
That Mike Myers bar is HARD! He is saying the person who battles him (if going first) isn’t even hard enough to be Mike Myers (who played Austin Powers). So how could that person claim to be as hard as Michael Myers (the serial killer)?
If I had to make a top five list of Eminem songs it would be difficult, but this song with hands down be in that list. This song is so beyond underrated.
It's important to note Eminem's middle name is Bruce... That's why he compares himself to The Incredible Hulk aka BRUCE Banner... On a couple of songs e. g Cold Wind Blows... "Bruce Banner is back in the booth"...
The part when he says he lost a battle he’s speaking of the only freestyle battle he has ever lost before he was famous against a dude named juice. That’s why he goes so hard when it comes to the beef records because he will never lose another!!💯💯
RAWKUS presents **ANY MAN - EMINEM** He references it in 'Stan'... "I got a room full of your posters and your pictures, man I like the shit you did with Rawkus too, that shit was phat"
Stevie, I love your reaction videos so much! English is not my native language so it's hard sometimes to catch all the metaphors in Em's lyrics. But your explanations help a lot! Thank you! 💟
The song is basically an Eminem history lesson... 1st verse is about his early shit when he developed his Slim Shady character, the 2nd verse is after the "Rap Olympics", and the 3rd verse is after being signed by Dre and no longer being "almost" famous...
One of his most underrated songs!
RIGHT??????????????
ALMOST EVERY SONG ON RECOVERY IS UNDERRATED AS FUCK
@@karinkd fr everyone hating on it because its too "poppy"
This album is one of the most under rated. Every song is a classic
ture but didn't like his voice , i'm glad he changed it since kamakaze
At the time Em wrote this, I believe "antidisestablishmentarianism" was one of the longest word in the English Language with 28 letters.
correct
It also means to be against dis-establishment, essentially he is also saying he cant be taken down.

@@itsmedrew.2097 black lung
@COrNell OVERflOATER it's a medical condition when you inhale small particles of volcano ash
He didn't say "distorted my memory", he said "just stored in my memory". It bugs the shit out of me when lyric videos are way off.
Huuuuge trigger man. Shows how little effort is put in vs the need to be first and get views
100% how hard is it to proof read the lyrics before you upload a video.
This entire video, watching the lyrics bugged THE SHIT outta me smh

The "I'm back for revenge" line refers to the rap battle he lost to Juice back in '97. It's a song about his come up in the game
It’s also a double about his current status in the game at that time. He’s also acknowledging the criticism Relapse got prior to this. He also did that in Not Afraid. And a couple other songs on the album. He would reference the backlash of previous albums quite often.

Thanks for commenting that first, it was bugging me the whole time that he wasn't catching on to that. Also Eminem spelled backwards Menime line.
I was just about to post this.
The most impressive thing about you Stevie is how knowledgeable you are on random subjects!
you kind of have to know a lot of just everything if you wanna break down Em's bars. Because he includes so many different things XD
@@CrazeeAdam *Facks* 😉
The “terrible towel” reference was still off of the Pittsburgh Steelers bar. They use to wave their yellow dish rags around to excite the stadium. Except Eminem is waving his chainsaw around 😂
true
facts lol Em's crazy like always
Used to??
Shit is absolutely still happening.
The ketchup is a Heinz reference too then
I always thought this was "like a terrible child'. My bad
You gotta do “untitled” on that same album. Bars on that one are 🔥

Im gonna join his patron on payday cuz i love his eminem breakdown. Hopefully its fairly inexpensive.
"Eminem" spelled backwards is "Menime"! That was lit! #tripleentendre

Or they should listen to

He said some are “just stored” in my memory, not “distorting “
Super fucking annoying that part 🤣🤣 I hate bad lyric videos. They kinda make you hear what you’re reading.
Vernon Troyer got sloppy drunk on one of those VH1 or MTV washed up actor shows, and pissed himself in a corner. That’s the reference.
Man u gotta do “Talkin’ 2 Myself”
And untitled
And cold wind blows if he hasn’t already
I swear Recovery was crazy all the way thru
@@Redonus83 so many people agree it’s a “commercial” album but it was just so good start to finish. There’s not many albums that are truly perfect where I can listen to every song top to bottom n that is one of them.
"Low ON the totem"
Lost the battle is reference to when he come in second place at the rap Olympics and almost quit rap
This is one of his top 3 albums imo
Lol some loves this n some hates it.. Polarizing album
@@emyf9197 who hates Recovery? I was under the impression it was near universally acknowledged as a good album, if not great.
@@hamubice1551 I thought so too but I guess some more hip hop heads hates it bcuz how pop it is and I can understand that..

But the choruses in this aren't all that great either
"Peed in his corner like Verne Troyer"
On MTV Cribs, Verne showed that he had a Pee corner when he couldn't make it to the bathroom 😂😂
Then the mini me line lol
I thought it was a reference to when he did the celeb show on VHI and he was caught peeing all over including a corner.
Recovery has to be my favorite Em album ever
Definitely
For me it's actually mmlp2 this a close second tho
Same i hate the fact people think this album has a pop album because of the singles, this shit goes hard
You gotta do underground man. The rhyme scheme in that is crazy
Same in baby & so much better from MMLP 2
He explains how he uses his poetry to make a point. Gen Zs should listen to this so they can understand nothing is literal.
my generation doesn't understand that mane
Amelia Badelia has entered the chat…
I know people get exhausted from him yelling on this album, but that's my favorite style and flow he's used. The flow isn't so out of the ordinary that it throws you off sonically, and the aggressive voice delivery gets you hype and brings the audio euphoria.
People get exhausted? I love his yelling cadence that shit gets my blood pumping like nothing else. Aggression on point.
Ok who says I gotta be a hair dresser and a dresser 2 Par rye! Awes.....
WHATT????????(?)???????(?????/)
Thanks Jerze---+--- dope
That's Leo to you Skulls
11:40 he's referring to his battle with addiction ... He lost that battle but now that he's sober "that ain't happening again"

The terrible towel is another Pittsburgh Steelers reference, Like Ben Rothlisberger.
Em was 1000000% in his bag the whole Recovery album

There is absolutely no reason for whoever made this, to screw the lyrics up, they're widely available in the album booklet for this one.
I just woke up, saw this, clicked on it. Heard Eminem going in in the intro and paused and got out of bed and said out loud “this needs a cup of coffee”
This is on the of the best Em albums of all time. Banger after banger from start to finish.
2 My favorite albums, Eminem show and Recovery. Shishhh every song and hard.
Fun fact: DJ Khalil first gave this beat to: The Game feat Snoop Dogg - Trading Places (it's on youtube) but it eventually end up on Recovery
The eminem backwards menimes bar coming off vern troyer is one of his greatest ever imo.
Great hearing you catch a bar here or there u didn't catch before. Adds to the song and keeps me interested
My fav Eminem song of all time. And I love damn near all of them. LET'S GO!!!!!!!!!!

Finally, been waiting ages for this reaction 🙌
YO!!!!!!!! Mr. Knights reaction to the 1st line of the song (SlimRothlessberger) was PRICELESS!!!
Check out "Underground" that's where his rhymes get nasty.
Also, the bar about Vern Troyer and "Menime's" is a reference back to the previous bars about Mike Myers and Austin Powers. He's calling back to his own shit.
One of my all time favourite tracks, bar his diss tracks. Such an underrated album.

Eminem’s lore is one of his more underrated appeals
The way eminem bends words to rhyme with the last scheme and sandwiches them all together effortlessly is why he’s the best simple 🤷♂️
And plz Stevie react to these songs:
Eminem _ Underground
Eminem _I am back
Eminem _ drug balled
I have been waiting for Underground and Drug Ballad for a year now
This is painting the picture of his career trajectory. First verse is underground hungry Em and it goes from there, lost Battle to MC Juice at Scribble jam 97’, then meeting Dre etc
That Mike Myers bar is HARD! He is saying the person who battles him (if going first) isn’t even hard enough to be Mike Myers (who played Austin Powers). So how could that person claim to be as hard as Michael Myers (the serial killer)?
Also he saying he lost cause this was his comeback album from taking a 5 year break from music
Love this album! Came out when i was in High School!
Ya’ll Eminem backwards your minime’s. Eminem spelt backwards actually says mini me 🤯
When it comes to wordplay and bars this is one of Ems craziest fucking tracks imo 🔥🔥🔥

And while I'm being poetic let me get a stoic and raise the bar
I might be wrong but I'm sure They told us Eminem crashed his dodge challenger, EMINEM told us he went to rehab lol. Twin reference to space shuttle 😄
