    ''So you got me in a scope but you grazed me''
    graze beside barely hitting has another meaning which is feeding a goat , EM basically is saying Mgk fed him by his diss at him ''
    and There is a movie called KILLSHOT , which in that movie someone names COLSON , which is MGK's real name will be hunt down by a MARSHALL , EMINEM's real name, and Em later on says:
    ''Lethal injection, go to sleep 6 feet deep
    I'll give you a B for the effort, but if I was 3
    Foot 11, you'd look up to me''
    if you put the 6 and the B and the 3 and the 11 together ,
    it's gonna be 6B311 , which is the code name of a PLANE that carried the cast of the movie KILLSHOT ,
    EM is literally an alien , THE RAP GOD

    If you notice: " your reply got the crowd yelling woo, so before you dye let's see who can out petty-who" is a reference to Tom Perry's famous song "Running Down a dream" where the crowd, especially at concerts, would yell WOO continually for 1 minute straight with the guitar solo. It was a staple at Tom Petty concerts. Tom Petty died shortly before this battle. Also, this song was written by Em in 13 minutes and was published on the 14th September 2018 the same date of death of Patrick Swayze ( 14 Sep. 2009).
    If you search carefully in this part of killshot you can find Eminem's plane number ( on which he wrote the song)

    @KnoxHill if you want to have your mind blown look at the lyrics at 2:17 in killshot - he says "give jade a kiss". Obvious references to Jadakiss and the kiss of death, but he says it at 2:17. Jadakiss second album was titled Kiss of Death and the 17th track was the title song...Kiss of Death. 2 and 17 - no shot that is coincidence.

I liked the other entendres if he would have left out jadas name leaving out the lox part wouldn't have bothered me. But felt like he wanted a go at kiss which would have been interesting.

    Before I even watch this 2.0 version, Em killed it. All MGK did was mention a ton of Em's biggest hits. It sounded great, but not much substance. Em too everything MGK said and turned it around on him. The line near the end, "As Long as I am Shady, you'll have to stand in my shadow" said it all. MGK got what he wanted out of it though, he got recognition. I had no idea who he was until this and wish I still didn't know who he is.

    Eminem said in Bully that he got money to clap back at anyone who tries to kill him over his raps. Diddy would need witness protection if he decided to do Eminem in. And Diddy knows this which is why he didn't actually "handle" Em like he said he would.

    24:10 (ish) - In addition to MGK's verse on the Tech N9ne song, he also did a freestyle rap going for Em as well, which if I remember correctly was also released before Kamikaze. And then once Kamikaze came out and MGK heard that he was mentioned in "Not Alike", that's when the infamous "MGK popping champagne" video was posted, and "Rap Devil" was released shortly thereafter.

    Her most famous song Fancy had the chorus that said
    " Remember my name I'm about to bloooowwww"
    Eminem said to mgk " Next to Taylor swift and that Iggy ho. You're about to really blow KELLY"
    He literally remembered her real name, like she said in the song and said that she thought she would blow with " Fancy" but now she's really gonna blow with him saying her name and he did that while still talking to mgk at the same time
    That is him dissing 2 artist in one sentence

    I love all the hidden meanings in Eminem's raps, particularly this one. "One call to Interscope and you Swayze". Patrick Swayze, famous actor, starred in the movie Ghost. To ghost someone, is to cut all ties without any explanation. Not only that, Eminem released this on 14th September, the very day Patrick Swayze passed away from cancer. Coincidence? Clever lyrical play? You decide.

    As a biologist, one of the crazy line I heard from Kill Shot was the "you broke bitch I have enough money in 02 to burn it in front of you."
    It basically means that Em had more money than MGK in 2002 (refers that Em has more success than MGK when he was younger) but also when you burn things you need oxygen, which the periodic element for Oxygen is also O2.

      This to me says that MGK will never put out a hit 'cause Diddy will never admit to putting the hit out on 2PAC because he a) really didn't do it or b) did it and will obviously never admit his guilt
      Either way, MGK sucks basically

      You are a m o r o n. “Blonde Hair and Earrings Because you think you are Marshall.” Eminem doesn’t even have blonde hair. Eminem imagines MGK in Black leather. WTF. Eminem says MGK can have Kim. What a diss. Says MGK dresses better and references the Rap Devil video. MGK is not wearing a shirt. WTF? Eminem then says MGK can wear his flannel . That was the worst diss track . Eminem had nothing but contradictions. MGK came out with Rap Devil 2018 right after Kamikaze. Eminem last 4 albums Kamikaze, Revival, mm2, Recovery. Eminem was wrong
      MGK 5(8) 6(4) 7 Punches 8 Mile.
      5678 Standing count.Eminem failed to address it.
      “Twice as Young”- Tay Keith born 7 days after Tupac died. (Killuminati) 7 day theory. Tay Keith was the Producer of “Not Alike.” Not only did MGK pull the 7 day theory he subliminally dissed Eminem for not alike. That’s how you right bars.
      7 Punches 8 Mile.
      8 mile was 2002- 2002+8+8=2018(You should go Back to Recovery 2010. 2002+8=2010
      7 Punches 1996 Eminem starts. But can’t be Tupac (7 Day theory) 1996+7=2003 (The first Beard reference Business but also in songs Berzerk and Deja Vu.) 2003+7=2010 (You should go Back to Recovery 2010) Eminem says in the song “In my head” that he is on the verge of relapse because he’s stuck in recovery. MGK wrote a whole number code based on Tupac 7 day theory.
      God is 7. Infinite is 8 MGK. Infinite was Eminem’s first release. MGK wrote the best diss track in history. You pretend to be a rap fan

    Watching these long reaction videos of yours has had a rather interesting effect. While I did study medicine (am on disability unfortunately) I did LOVE linguistics & rhetoric, took classes and even classes in argument formation. There's quite a few parallels between some things you say and those last 2 especially and more so when one is presenting an argument, say, before a jury. [Before I continue, watching a court crawl one day, in Wayne County of all places haha...this rather um, off defendent gets on screen and demands that Marshall Mathers be his lawyer as he swears Em graduated from law school and could TOTALLY represent him. Cue the Judge ordering a competency hearing.]
    The following are some common ground rules for lawyers :
    • Concentrate on the arrangement of your presentation. Bear in mind the ideas of primacy, recency, and frequency. You remember best what you hear first and last. The power of repetition brings rewards.
    • When using demonstratives, assure that they can be seen clearly.
    • Immunize your argument as appropriate by suggesting what the opposition might argue-and refute it before it is proffered. [Hmm, this sounds familiar lol. Outside a courtroom we'd likely use self deprecation or some such thing to not give the other side ammunition.]
    I
    • Facial expressions, eye contact, gestures, and modulating your voice are all important aspects of delivery. [This seriously applies to most things related to any sort of human communication]
    • Observe the listener and match your argument to his or her state of mind as you perceive it during the presentation. **Then lead the listener to your conclusion.** (this is the bit that made me get on the comment section and type this godawful rambling...thing🤣)
    Giving JUST enough info to allow an audience to a. Engage and then b. Draw their own conclusions (hopefully, the one you want them to form lol) is a skill that a good lawyer will have. If they are VERY good at this, then you get an even better lawyer.
    I've now begun to view past trials I've watched through a rap battle or diss track perspective.

    • @ThisTimeLady
      @ThisTimeLady 6 місяців тому

      Let me say this, I do think Em would be a damn good lawyer if he DID go and get his JD 🤣he has that "long game" always 4 steps ahead, a quick wit etc.
      7:37 I love the aded vocal bit of everything he brings. That growl/death growl...the grit he uses (he really has nailed down the use of those ventricular or false vocal folds. But it also is likely related to his wonderful control over the muscles and breathing (obvious he has great control seeing how long he can go and how well he enunciates etc.) That control allows for those vocal techniques more often seen in singing to suddenly be obvious while talking.
      12:40 a less interesting tidbit related to this. These changes allow for better use of oxygen, enunciation, flow etc, For singers this would sort of be like our dynamic control (proud and happy soprano here!) Manipulating the dynamics of our voice, where it is resonating, where it originates, speeding and allowing allows us to better use our air. If you've seen any singer or vocal coach react to LiSA's Gurenge this topic frequently comes up. She has incredible control and she'll switch up her delivery...get very airy then go into chest voice, belt something out, use a growl, then get very bright in tone etc. Of course, this ALSO does wonders for how connected the performance is. Eminem is most DEFINITELY one of THE most connected artists. And that's saying something because unlike other genres, it seems to me that in rap and hip hop etc etc connecting to what one is saying is not really very optional? It is more so in other genres, but in those genres the best artists are the ones that can truly make YOU feel the song.

      13:34 as mentioned above....frequency, primacy and recency. We tend to remember the first and last things best (first being primacy, and the last bit is related to it being the most recent item) Also, the the frequency is important. Which here is easier to keep up as there are "rhyme schemes" for a reason anyhow haha.

    Oh, snap! Knox, you won't believe this juicy piece of rap history I just uncovered. So, there's this song by Tim Dog that's called "F*ck Compton," and let me tell you, it's like the beef between "Rap Devil" and "Killshot" on steroids! Tim Dog was so peeved with the attention that the West Coast rap scene was getting that he decided to throw some serious shade at NWA in his song. And boy, did he go in hard! He spits lines like "Let's get right down to the nitty-gritty and talk about a [real dumb] city" and "You wanna play? Go ride in a sleigh/ I'm so large I [date] Michel'le." I mean, come on, that's pure gold right there! But wait, there's more. Snoop Dogg wasn't about to let Tim Dog slide, so he took a few shots at him on Dr. Dre's album "The Chronic." And the cherry on top of this sundae of rap drama is that Ced Gee of Ultramagnetic produced the beat, and it's a reworking of Ultra's underground classic "A Chorus Line." Can you believe all this happened before the East Coast vs. West Coast feud took over? Man, it's like a rap soap opera!

  • @acrillix3159
    @acrillix3159 Рік тому +3

    I'm gonna regret this, but here's my take
    This beef was a stalemate. Neither won.
    Eminem called it in on this one and didnt put his usual diss track passion into it. He COULD HAVE outright forced a retirement but there's a lot of "i'mma help you out" vibes from Killshot. His rhyme scheme is among his best, but it made each punch appear to hit harder than it actually did. Now, to pick apart a few things, the man bun was only there for Bird Box filming then MGK ditched it right after, which shoulda been known by Eminem, so that's a miss. Another one is the mention about which album number Recovery was, which confused me even on the very first listen cause i'm pretty sure EPs and LPs still count as albums, so Em felt like he was trying to force something there...
    MGK was being praised for having the best diss track against Eminem every single day until Killshot came out, then interestingly that mention just disappeared. He even calls out some stuff that Eminem did NOT address whatsoever (are you really gonna count that scripted interview? I love Eminem but even that was pathetic for him. Let's be real here) outside of the Sway interview, which those were even pretty bad explanations and not convincing whatsoever... MGK was on his game and wrote that shit in 1 evening? Em took over a week and came out with Killshot...
    There's a lot more but i'd rather avoid getting my inbox blown tf up, but I never hear the above mentioned in various takes i've heard. MGK likely saw that Killshot wasnt what it coulda been, and decided to roll with that wave instead of attacking back. Should he have? Absolutely, but I'm pretty sure I see why he didnt, and why he's been furious about the beef since. He wanted to respond so bad, you can see it, but it wouldnt have helped him at all. If MGK were to wait till after his next album (current day) then I can see him making a more massive crater
    I;m a big fan of both, but I'm not wild about how Em handled his response.
