I love Eminem as a whole! I remember blasting the marshal Mathers lp in 2000 with my brother! What's weird is that IVE MET Gen Z people who only love Eminem new stuff! Like post Rap God! They don't like his older stuff and I just tell them to go listen to Rock Bottom aka my favorite Eminem song!
YEEEESSS! He's an incredible lyricist and story teller!! Most ppl just know " rapper" but there are different types of rappers. Rarely does a rapper master multiple lanes. He's a genius.
@@libertychic8926 As good as Em is/was Dre created a production canvas for him to shine. Ems songs were not hitting before dre, his verses were. but dre knew what beats and sound. Just like MC search did with Nas in illmatic... Em was not "the genius" it took two and lets not forget dre's production legacy...
Same. I remember walking in the day the album was released and just buying, went into CD player in my car and literally didn't leave for months. No songs skipped just repeat the album.
@@dongiano or they listen to other lyricists who are just as good if not better. The most of the 90% of hip-hop fans you claim to think Eminem is the greatest ever aren’t hip-hop fans.
Listen bro rakim is the father of new rapping and he says em is the goat. For your knowledge in so many good rappers like Jay z and Kendrick Lamar and fat joe and ..... Em is the goat . Em was the most creative rapper ever so don't claim a thing when you don't know about it@@mistahmst

@@yalee7996he wrote it for Dre & snoop tho. And it wasn’t written to that cadence, bc the beat came later. It was written much slower, like as slow as Nuthin but a G Thang.
Bro, for SOOOOOO fucking long, i considered dre's last verse to be the only time Em didn't top when collaborating.....and then a few years ago I learned this shit.
Ems verse is (to me) one of the BEST technical written verses in the history of hip hop. The flow, the rhyme scheme of compound syllables, the imagery of his rhymes at the same time.. I always find more to love about this verse every time I hear it.
Its weird of me to say this snd compare them, but Eminem and Kobe are very similar in how they approach their craft, they are very dedicated and have a lot of love and passion for what they do and are both highly respected by their peers. Their names carry a lot of weight. While Kobe was in the gym working out and obsessing over how to get better, Eminem was in the studio treating it like a 9-5 job. That’s dedication right there, I got nothing but admiration and respect for people like that. I dont care if theyre not the best at what they do, but their hard work deserves to be recognized.

Ems love for his mentor and the game in general is admirable. Dre rolled the dice and gave us a very rare talent.
I thought you wrote love for his mother for a second 🤣🤣🤣
@@Jailbridge lmao not the mother 😭
Nobody gives as man odes and shoutouts to other rappers and and rap itself in their music as Em
Dre literally saved his life.
what game does he love
Old Em's voice wakes up something inside!
Stop saying old Em bro the man is a freaking human his allowed to grow old too yk
facts!
@@Kli_Ntbruh chill tf, why is it bad to say old Eminem when referring to his old voice that he had then?
@@knives5964 😏😏so you call your baby voice old you?
@Kli_Nt if I hear myself on a recording from ages ago or see a picture, isnt that old me? What are you slow pal?

This era of Em was just a different level of creative genius.. What a time.

Stolen from cage kennylz tho
Not only is he a fabulous lyricist, he recites letters not words to music. Every letter has a tone. Plus he can put a story together really well
He over enunciates is all and gets stuck in the same flows over and over but if it ain't broke ig. One of the greatest wordsmiths in history.
YEEEESSS! He's an incredible lyricist and story teller!! Most ppl just know " rapper" but there are different types of rappers. Rarely does a rapper master multiple lanes. He's a genius.
People don’t realize that em wrote that whole song
I truly wonder who doesn’t realize that
Idk if this is just asvlittle known but Jayz actually wrote still dre
@@justinjoestar1902nope, it's pretty well known
im pretty sure almost everybody knows em wrote the whole shit
And the watcher he wrote for dre
When 2 creative geniuses fk around and create a masterpiece 💥
Except only 1 wrote it. HE'S the genius.
THEY fucked around, & WE found out! lol

Now I understand why I like this song so much. Everytime the beat is adjusted to accentuate Em's rhymes, the song just hits hard!
40 years old know and i can still remember when this video came out. Straight mf 🔥

Eminem truly wrote a legendary song and no one gives him the credit
What are you talking about no one gave him the credit everyone saying he’s the number one rapper he already won
Only a stan will believe that the highest selling rapper doesn’t get enough credit
The guy is considered the greatest rapper alive by at least 90% of rap fans. And the ones that don't think so probably listen to drill rap

Seriously, he must’ve read that and been like “Damn Shady, you crazy ass white boy”, so crazy that it was almost Snoop instead of Em on the song.
@@Balouthegreat There's no way that Snoop would have been able to rap on that cadans imho.

The creativity, the lyrics, the flow.
So Sick
Honestly, based on how hard this song went, maybe it should be the new regular process for recording with Em.
i get shivers when em starts spitting one of the best songs of all times.
I love listening to old em back when he didn’t care!
He did care just about diff things that's all
He still doesn't. That's why he's still setting standards and making mofo's think twice about stepping to him. Learn when to step back.
He still don't give a fuuuck lol
Iconic , what a song.
I GOTTA ADMIT THIS IS THE CLASSIC DOPENESS & I GOTTA GIVE EM CREDIT FRFR THAT DUDE IS DOPE SO CHEERS & SALUTE!!![999]
Such responsibilities and respect to a man that helped u.
DRE IS THE OG GOAT - created music for all the TOP ARTISTS 🙌🏼
I get shivers listening to this, mann i miss old school em

Dres gemius right there
I remember being in 7th grade when this came out... One of my favorite songs' of all time 🔥
He snapped! Period. He always snaps period. @eminem #Respect
It explains why the lyrics of Dre's verse are actually good
Was just blasting this today 💙👌
And truly this is one of dre's best beats
Still gives me chills
The line about the temp in the Mercedes’ with the temp in the mid 80s
And doesn’t stop the ball to the hook.
Flawless
Legendary song
One of the best songs there is ❤

Eminem the freestyle god
False idol. He's a very skilled rapper though.
Dre's Dynasty, never feel off!!! Em is top 3 all time and that's indisputable at this point. 💯
Man i miss old em. When he didnt think he could replace emotion in his voice with being monotone af and just rapping fast
I was in middle school when this track was on MTV and at its peak. Feeling old.
Banger of a tune
Both Eminem and Dr Dre are just brilliant. Legends
Eminem's verse in that track will always mesmerize me, "so whatta ya say, to somebody you hate" ❤ the best ever.
💯 Love this song ❤
I love Dre's rapid bars in this particular number.
Dre's always been my favourite.
Eminem wrote all the lyrics including Dre's and Snoop's for the song.
Dre said he wrote the entire song
Not according to the video @@greentaz1
I mean Dre said Eminem wrote the whole song
Damn I remember the day they premiered this shit on MTVs making the music video. Some fires never go out 🔥
Ngl id love to sit down and just talk with em and dre. They seem like some of the most humblest, wisest guys you could talk to about life
You both did the works on this one.
Oh my God, Dre.
I thought at one point you were aging well...
Your voice... even the way you're talkin...
Well, God bless you my bruh.
This song still sends chills down my back
I grew up watching this movement. Historical.
Calling men ladies like he knew what was coming smfh
tf are you talking about? Trans ppl been around way before this. Just not as open about it.

Timeless classic !! 🔥🔥🔥
Dre Eminem is not one of those who forgets those who were with him, to him ..
Good work Em. Very creative creature, when things are done with passion, whole heartedly.
Ohhh how far weve fallen from real rap.....real music for the most part.
The goat.
Still slaps. Everything em touches is gold
Years later & Haley’s quite the cutie now! Old enough to remember the song, but my eyesight can still acknowledge a pretty girl-w/o interest. Like a nice sports car.
One of the best songs ever made.
"All you savage cats, didnt know that i was strapped with gatz while yall was cuddlin' a cabbage patch"
is on of the hardest lines of all time.
I had to go listen to it again after this lol
That song is one of greatest!!!
A classic for all time!
One of the best songs ever
One of my favorite songs...and I'm a heavy metal guy.

How tf we forget about Dre ? This song bangs even now 💪🏻 Eminem was just genius
One of the best songs
❤ LYRICAL GENIUS❤ And true brotherhood.
They do not make rap songs like this anymore. Proud old head
One of my fav songssss
And it’s one of Dre’s best songs ever!
and that helped them figure out that eminem could turn his cadence and flow into an instrument on any beat which is the essence of hip-hop and thats what he chose to perfect in his technique.
A perfect example of looking past color to see each other as remarkable humans ❤

Sign of a great producer… to be able to hear the musicology inside the tune, lyrics or prose
Eminem is a modern day philosopher 👏
SSLP, C2001, MMLP that was a fuckin ERA 🔥
The 3rd verse, Dre’s second verse, is just awesome.
He said “one time it happened with Eminem on a song called Forgot About Dre” like nobody ever heard of it
Might be the best song of either of their careers.
Whoa, I was not aware of the depth of talent like Em to consistently drop hits 🎯 & be an inception to Dre' slappin track.
I don’t believe in artistic competitions. I love rap music. And that means, I love so many diverse people creating amazing art! I will say this, like run dmc and big daddy cane, I was hooked.
Its so bloody talented ❤
Nobody's gonna forget about Dr.Dre because of Eminem.
"So what do you say to somebody you hate!?"
Ems the shit!!
Eminem is a legend
That song was a moment in middle school
Bro had a tear in his eye while he was explaining Em's song
And it’s one of Dr Dre’s most famous songs
Doc is another one. Bro came drunk and ready with lyrics to spit on Its Funky Enough
Old Em was unstoppable man... 🔥🔥🔥
Man i love this song ❤
We don't like to admit it, but Em is a top 3 lyricist of all time. He'd hold his own against anyone!!!!
The talent you have to have to lay a tracknover the vocals is crazy! Just a blank slate and words bro. Make it happen and he did. And it's timeless
Similarly, as a songwriter, I very rarely start with vocals and then build the music around it. But it happens occasionally.
That is what makes you the best dre.🎉
Genius!
Nostalgia hearing this 99-2000
One of the BEST RAP SONGS EVER!
