- Yet again, I get to witness round 2! Em. Vs MGK. Gotta admit that I was a little lost on this track for a bit, but was brought right back mid way. What an absolute genius...

Hey brother don't say sorry for laughing, that is one of the many reasons people love his wild and outlandish lyrics, it's not just the technical abilities.
Not people
@@AH-cl1gt what?
Yeah, Eminem likes to be silly. It’s a part of his personality so why be ashamed of laughing
That's exactly why. He said outrageous things especially on his first 3 albums and managed to add humour into it. He's sarcastic but funny, used satire and not preachy. He wasn't supposed to be a serious wise rapper. So when someone say he didn't have content that person don't understand Slim Shady persona.
100
My guy said "Nail in the Coffin" and doesn't even know that's one of Em's most badass diss tracks ever.
Yeah I mentioned that in a previous vid.... sauce is pretty nasty too!
Not sure he's ready for nail in the coffin?!
Naw, he's not ready for any of those Old Beefs yet like Ja Rule, Benzino, Limp Bizkit, Everlast... For Diss tracks I think it'd be better for him going into it with some of the backstory so he can understand them more, I know he likes to go in blind most the time but diss tracks and history of beefs matter in the context of the diss.
Glad someone else got that, was going to mention it but thought most people wouldn't follow it 😂.
Agree with having to know backstories about diss tracks and to listen to them in order so they make more sense.
definitely needs to do that one!
The way Royce and Eminem feed off each other is just magical.
I mean when bad meets evil what do you expect
Man you're so right! I've seen them perform live together and it's even more insane..
Bad vs Evil is incredible!
You're most likely the most innocent genuine reactor we watch. I am certain the ones that are watching the eminem reactions are actually excited to see the reaction to the lyrics. You're doing great man. Keep it up!
Thanks so much JN!!!
@larryshair hey 😆 I just discovered your channel and I've been watching all day 😂😂😂 love your genuine reaction to these songs and I think you might want to search for em's diss with ja rule and benzino 🤣 I promise it will blow your mind ❤ lots of love from Italy 🤗
yep him and "Reaction Therapy" (the therapist who does reactions to Eminem and others).
The only thing i have to say about this “rap battle”... is that MGK really messed up when he called a 15 yo “hot”. He tried to pick on the guy that paved the way for him to even have a career, & if that’s not the LITERALY DEFINITION of “don’t bite the hand that feeds you”, I don’t know what is.
Also, Eminem is, and always will be, the greatest rap artist to come out of my generation, & I wish him nothing but the calm & peace that he was denied as a child.
he was on tv saying he'd go for a 17 year old Kendall Jenner
@@Shino-lr2wi her dad should have defended her, i mean mom, no dad.. okay im confused
It’s really disturbing how he’s called younger girls that when he has a daughter himself🤮
watch the damn interview with him
Hence the reference to " You already know who you R. Kelly..."
This song is full of bars. Royce is eminems like right hand man. He calls him Nickel and as you heard at the end of the song em said nickel and I are identical. They actually did a whole album together bad meets evil. Which was amazing. You did pretty good at picking up some of the bars but if you like doing thes disses you should do a reaction to Mariah carry obsessed and then do a reaction to eminem the warning. One of my favorite eminem diss'
I'm shocked nobody has recommended him Bad Meets Evil ft Bruno Mars - Lighters yet
Nickel 9
@@Fozzie420 that is true. I mean I know he has a lot of recommendations but I'm sure he will like lighters
It starts with bagpipes from Baghdad and then Maria responds with obsessed out of anybody who dissed Eminem I think Mariah did the best. I’d be really sweet if Britney Spears just came out with a savage diss to him
I second this! That Mariah diss is epic!
Eminem's writing is unmatched in my opinion. Every line is so thought out. To quote Em " A plaque in platinum status is wack if I'm not the baddest"
Til the roof comes off, til the lights go out, til my leg give out, can't check my mouth...
Also, does Til I Collapse imply that Eminem will not be the first rapper in space? "If I ever leave Earth, that would be the death of me first,". Sad. Eminem rapping in space/at the ISS would be dope as hell.
Oh man, you just referenced my all time Eminem verse. In my opinion verse 3 of Til I Collapse is untouchable.
Your face at 13:34 was the best!!
Embodied how everyone feels when they hear Em 😅 You're amazing.
Royce is basically pointing out new rapper's are more focused on fashion and fame not rap! The "used to bite nickel" is Royce 5 "nickel" so bite his style (copy) plus back in the old old days (bite a coin, make sure it's solid and real) and then play the on "everybody now doing Bitcoin"
Add this song to a list to go watch Knox Hill's breakdown of. The man is like none other in breaking down lyrics for everyone to understand. Many of his breakdowns take 20-25 minutes since he does so much. It will help big time. There is A LOT to unpack in this one. Nice job getting the arms double!
The pull up line was a triple
If you do check Knox out for a bit of history and context, just remember it’s (likely, in my opinion) a fully researched bar breakdown dressed up as a first listen. So don’t feel down, discouraged or demotivated that he catches everything (and it is pretty much everything, he is second to none with breakdowns) first listen and you don’t.
Knox is encyclopedia of Hip Hop. If you see some of his non hip hop reactions, things fly over his head. Man lives and breathes hip hop. He has done songs pretty soon after they're out and still catches the insane amount of bars he does with other songs. He also does reactions live sometimes and catches everything live. You'll also notice that he catches things on a second pass over after rewinding it (something most reactors, let alone listeners, don't do). As someone who catches a large portion of what he does without as much knowledge as him, I don't find it hard to believe he does it first time. Those who can't do that come to the only logical conclusion that he is somehow "cheating". I'm assuming most do it out of lack of rap deciphering ability, but some just do it out straight out of bitterness, hate, or jealousy. That's why everytime I see this kind of talk about Knox or Ernest, I feel obligated to defend them. Only skillwise though, I don't always agree with their opinions on things, but I respect their ability.
Never watched Knox Hill But stevie knight is my fav Reactor for bar breakdown
@@erict1612 I used to watch Stevie, but I dunno just fell outta touch with his style I guess. But ya he's good too.
You're doing great. No one expects to know an entire generation of rap with a few tracks 🙂 "The bars going over my head too" You know what bars are 😜
4:33 actually Royce Da 5'9" and Em are a Hip hop duo
they're called bad meets evil you definitely need to react to their first song "bad meets evil" and their album "Hell: The Sequel
"
Shocked nobody has recommended him Bad Meets Evil ft Bruno Mars - Lighters yet
Legendary duo
Their 1st songs together was Nuttin’ To Do and Scary Movies.
@@vn5774 Nope Nuttin to Do and Scary Movies was a single from 1998, came out before Eminem signed to Aftermath
@Michael Kiely Bad Meets Evil single was released in October 1998, SSLP was released in February 1999. Like I said the single Nuttin To Do, Scary Movies was the 1st project by ‘Em and Royce.
MGK spoke about Hailie back in 2012 (If I’m not mistaken) with a series of tweets and then mentioned her in a couple interviews around that time. It didn’t pop up on Em’s radar until prior to the making of Kamikaze. MGK also made a subliminal diss towards Em when he was a feature on a Tech N9ne track then he tweeted the bar but made it more obvious that it’s towards Em so Em replied with this then MGK tried his best with Rap Devil before getting put in his place when Em responded with Killshot
Sir, dont be discouraged about feeling lost. Eminem on Kamikaze and anything after that is absolute god tier rap and can be hard to know whats going on if you're not used to it. I would love if you went through his whole discography one by one from the beginning. That's the first step to get a PHD on Eminem.
I agree...He should start from the beginning bcs jumping from one song to another is confusing and hard to understand the references Eminem makes.
It's not that easy. He won't get the entire rap culture just by listening to every single Eminem song ever written. It's not as simple as that because even in those songs Em is referencing stuff from other artists. For example, in this song Royce mentioned G Easy. Larry could listen to every single Eminem song ever released and he still wouldn't get that reference because the reference isn't from an Eminem song. But rap fans get it because they're fans of the rap genre and multiple artists, not just a single artist.
At this point Rap and Hip Hop is a complex culture. You won't understand it all by knowing every single word from a single artist. Rap isn't like pop music. As a musician and producer, I'd say that Rap/Hip Hop is by far the most complex music style. Behind that it's probably Rock. And that's probably why they're so niche - because unless you're fully invested in it, you won't get the references.
It's different with pop music. If you're even vaguely up to date with current events, you'll get the references in pop music (if there even are any).
You’re spoiling us by doing back to back Eminem songs! Not that I’m complaining though, I love these videos
You definitely need to listen to Not Afraid and Best Friend. Honestly two incredible songs.
I feel like you appreciate the more deep stuff from Em that had more meaning behind it and his thought in it.
Not Afraid, Fall, Higher, Premonition, Farewell, Never Love Again, The Ringer, Venom, Love the Way you lie, Monster and Homicide.
These are good songs from Em I think you would get a bunch of enjoyment out of.
@Dakota's Mixtape I'm pretty sure he's only done 1 which is Farewell..lol
"Best Friend" I think he'd really enjoy.
He's doing best friend in a week or so!
@@Jaze1618 yeah, spot on. I suggested Believe too, great song. And quite a slow flow which would help him catch stuff
@@Jaze1618 hey, thanks for this! 👍 I didn’t know Randy had another Em video, I’ll check it out! Godzilla was epic and then Tone Deaf was just perfect!!! The guy is mad talented!
You've got one of the most enjoyable reaction channels on UA-cam right now, always love to see the Eminem videos.
What I love about you is that we can all watch while you slowly fall in love with hip-hop and its kinda beautiful because this music is for everyone that loves storytelling
It's so much fun to explore this content!
I felt the same words about lyrics too but then as I read along it just blows my mind how he can rap and rhyme all of this. Also, check out Not Afraid, Rock Bottom for more deep Em! Keep up the great reactions!
Definitely second this comment, especially for Rock Bottom (although there is no official music video). It really just highlights how politically sharp his lyrics from the get.
@@123hurricanekatrina Definitely. I also think Larry would like that song because it gives a glimpse of Ems life before he was famous
Yes please check out these songs!
Wait he hasn't done not afraid yet? That seems like a song he would really enjoy
@@blakewilson7762 me too. Lyrics are easier to follow and it's his comeback from overcoming addiction. He wou3 really like it
This song is basically a dis to all modern mumble rappers. The first lines: "Brain dead, iHops, Pain meds...." show how much Royce and Em feel related to this modern culture. Eminem specifically calls out MGK, as he is considered to be one of those mumble rappers, who also used some subliminals to diss Em. .
One of the reasons I love this channel is this man gives the music a shot, my dad loved the beastie boys & run dmc but would never step into my generations hip hop. We need to protect Larry at all costs! This stuff is gold.
lol, thanks Joey!
You're not supposed catch every bar the first time you listen to a good rap song.
The greats, you have to listen to numerous times. That's what makes them so wonderful.
Thank you for your great reactions!
You're actually doing amazing don't get down yourself for having a hard time. 1st time listen is hard to catch for all, and someone new and the way he works words. Give yourself the credit you deserve!! So many others don't understand get frustrated and say artist is trash. Keep doing you, love it!!!
I have watched all ur videos I am 34 Scottish female and Eminem crazy since like the age of 11 and it’s so good to see u gave him a listen and the way u speak about his music is just perfect and nice to see how much it touches ur heart ur emotions are felt by myself and probs loads others, thanks for ur great videos plz plz keep them coming ❤❤love to u and family from Sara x❤
Royce is an all time great who came up with Em in detroit... two of my top 5 came from the same city at the same time. Em is the GOAT, but Royce is my personal favorite. the 5'9" is his height and the floor numbers in the hospital on the fateful night where he both became a father and lost his grandma on the same night.
They have their own albums together. They have collabed like a million times.
He also met Em that same night! He talks about it on his song “Tabernacle”. Might be worth a reaction.
@@brinnd330 I was about to suggest it actually, but hopefully he'll get on a Royce train and get there one day lol
Amazing artist nickle is but he’s been weird on socials before. His way of saying shit sometimes is … enh strange. Been feeling some type of way about some crap he says but he’s very giving and I’m pretty sure a good person he’s in charge of like hella community efforts helping and I continue to listen to his music but I’m not the only one feeling weird bout him lately.
@@emiliadumitru8030 I’ve been feeling weird about him ever since I saw him blaming vaccines for making his kid autistic 🥴
All of your reaction videos on Em have paid off! The GOAT is going to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame! 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
That's awesome!!!
Royce is one of Em's closest friends on the mic. They even had one collab album by alias Bad Meets Evil in 2011 called "Hell: The Sequel". I recommend song "Lighters" from this album. It's featuring Bruno Mars! Very good song
There's so many levels to Eminem, this one is advanced for sure. Great Video as always!
Eminem and Royce have album together, Bad (Royce) meets Evil (Em) Great album!!!! Royce hangs with Eminem nicely highly recommend checking it out!!!!
your eminem reactions are something to look forward to and I literally save a time to sit and watch your uploads
Another great reaction. I think others have mentioned Knox Hill, I'd actually like to see you do a reaction to a Knox Hill Eminem breakdown (id recommend The Ringer).
It's a little bit different but as a 1 off I think it would be entertaining to see your mind blown with the amazing detail in Eminem's writing
I agree! Would love to see this as well
I agree, it would be super fun to see a reaction to Knox Hill’s breakdowns!
Didn't think of that that's a great idea, I would definitely watch that 🙌
I paused this straight away to write this. There's a line in Killshot when Em says "pop champagne to this". The reference to that is MGK heard Em dis him on this song (Not Alike) and after the Kamikaze album was released MGK posted a video on social media of himself opening a champagne bottle because he could reply and knew it would blow up his career.
Another little piece of insider knowledge is that MGK knew that was coming because someone from Interscope told MGK that Em was going to dis him so he should write a dis track to Eminem. I don't remember where the stat is of the top of my head, but Rap Devil was recorded in July 2018 (but released in September) and Kamikaze was released in August 2018. So clearly MGK was working on Rap Devil before Em released his album!
Bro why have I been so excited for you to discover all of this!
Right?! Me too. I love that he went from saying he's not a rap guy to calling himself a Stan. He didn't just dip a toe in he dove into the deep end with the lyrical master. He has really good ears, so impressive.
lol, I don't know! I guess the same reason I'm feeling the same way about discovering this gem!
Eminem is the Goat. just keep listening every song is equally amazing
Em really didn’t even have to put out “Killshot” after “Not Alike” he killed MGKilled in this track alone this was premeditated murder on a track literally!🥵👊🏽🐐🔥🎯
Yeah - still can’t believe MGK heard this and was like, ‘hold my beer’!
0:18 "the nail in the coffin" Eminem has a diss track called Nail in the coffin which ended Benzino's career
Dont get down on keeping up with the references. You are getting into a higher level of EMs songs that are a lot heavier on the references compared to other songs you like such as stan and headlights ect... you are doing great on what you do get!
Such a pleasant surprise to have this waiting for me in the morning ❤️
lol, thanks!
Fun fact: Royce's name comes from his height, 5 feet 9 inches (175 cm). However, the numbers five and nine have been in his life numerous times as he "found his calling" as a rapper in 1995 and in his song "Tabernacle" he discusses his grandmother dying on the fifth floor of a hospital and his first son being born on the ninth. Royce was given his nickname after he began wearing an R pendant resembling the Rolls Royce symbol to high school. So you were almost right.
This, I felt, was more relatable than Killshot. I mean, when people don't see eye to eye (no pun) and there's a ton of this now and it sux. That's how much we have in common kinda rolls any hate off the shoulder. We have enough anger in this world, it's a little relief and becomes kinda comical. Thx again, bro.
Awesome reaction as always mate! He continuously throws shade at MGK, you've got a long list haha
Would be cool to see you react to some of J. Cole's music as well!!!
You know, Eminem had a super fan named Tom Macdonald who recently made a song called “Dear Slim” where he talks about how much Eminem motivated him and his career.
He actually won an auction Eminem threw where he won a beat produced by Eminem and it’s NFT, a signed copy of Infinite, and some Eminem Shoes. He shot a whole homage to him, and it was amazing. I think he is the most successful truly independent artist in rap today.
I highly recommend you do that next, and just juxtapose what a person like MGK did by dissing Eminem, an artist that inspired him in the past, and Tomas MacDonald who writes a whole love letter to Eminem while also claiming to stand on equal footing with Eminem, which is *ballsy.*
yes, MGK talked about Hailie in that tweet, but Em actually was pissed about the subliminal diss MGK had in his song with Tech N9ne. "yall just rap, you are not gods", an obvious subliminal diss in reference to "Rap God".
Ah, good catch. Thanks bud!
@@larryshair you're welcome sir, love seeing you catching up on the history of the greatest to ever do it! I always try to catch your videos as soon as possible!
I really enjoy watching you figure this all out 🤣🤣🤣
I recommend "fall" or "greatest" if you like songs that go in this direction of dissing other people. "fall" is Eminems answer to all the people who bagstabbed him after his not so successful album "revival". It has some amazing bars and incredible wordplay
@Michael Kiely yeah I didn't choose the right words. It got platinum so of course it's successful. The problem is that the huge majority hates on it and since em seems to really care what fans and critics think it wasn't successful if we're looking at how much people like/enjoy it
I was just about to turn ma telly off n go to sleep about 3 am this mornin, then this popped up 😂😂😂I was sooo tired but had to watch it anyway lol.That kinda blank clueless look u had til u knew who n what he was on about was priceless 😂😂Dont worry tho ur not the only one , Ive been obsessed with Em for over 20 years n still struggle .I watch a guy called Cliff Beats whos a ghostwriter n he breaks down all the bars, it always amazes me how much I missed even tho Ive listened to the same songs so many times.Thank u for another great video larry , loving bein able to witness ur journey into the genius world of Eminem xxx
Thanks so much Helen! Sorry I kept you up so late!
@@larryshair lol no dont be it was worth it 😂xxx
bro the song is filled with bars, dont be embarrased man i never catch the bars till ive hada few listens, but you are listening intently and catching just fine
I'm so glad you said that about reading the lyrics. I was just about to comment but then you said it yourself! It's SO much better to listen to a new song without the lyrics, you get such a better feel for the song and sense of what's going on if you're not concentrating on reading from a screen. I'll go back the second time and read the lyrics, but only because I learn most Ems songs off by heart.
Can't believe you missed the battery line though! The double in that bar is so clever.
Oh man, I need to go and catch that memory line... Thanks Amy!! You're always so kind :)
@@larryshair always enjoy your content...I am curious to know if you found out who Capri Styles and Mya G are though 🤣
Royce and Em are super close. They’re both from Detroit and have known each other for ~25 years at this point. Royce was actually Em’s hype man for a little while before Proof took over. And as somebody else mentioned, they did a whole album together under the duo name Bad Meets Evil.
That last line of the first verse by Royce is hilarious. He said he’s fit to be King but they’re cut out to fit in Prince pants. He’s making a reference to Prince the pop singer and Prince often wore assless chaps. So by Royce saying they’re cut out to fit in Prince pants he’s saying they’re ass 😂😂😂
Nobody gets it the first time you got to hear it at least three times to really get it and some songs maybe eight 10 times before you get it definitely a lyrical genius Rap God goat Marshall Mathers 49 still killing it always great energy
when you say “i’m sorry to laugh” don’t worry. i’m sure that laughter is often what eminem wants with these bars.. i mean he is actually REALLY funny and his bars/jokes are so clever sometimes i’m convinced he could be a comedian
12:35 Fetty Wap is a rapper who is missing an eye. Eye lost. I lost
He really got to be creative with this song. I love the random word play. They mean nothing other than they sound good together.
I am loving your reactions and would love for you to Yelawolf ft. Eminem "Best Friend." One of Eminem's best lyrical verses.
You’re doing awesome with these Eminem reactions dude, keep them coming and glad to see how you’re learning more and more! Don’t apologize for not knowing for now because his music is all his story and more you listen, the more you’ll learn. Royce is one of Eminem’s best friends for the longest time and helped each other get clean as well and now both over 10 years sober.
Its brilliant to see isn’t it lol
To be fair, Eminems recent releases (starting with Revival or Kamikaze) kind of tell an ongoing story referencing the current events in the world as well as in the hip hop scene. This was a little bit different in his older tracks which makes it easier to quickly jump into some of the classic tracks. So don't be ashamed if you don't get all the references Royce is talking about, the important part here was the one about MGK and you did well on this one! Keep up the good work!
And I might just add again, as other people already said, if you like to learn more about the songs, you might wanna watch Knox Hill's breakdowns or read some explanations on the lyrics on rap genius ;)
Royce the 59 I'm dead☠️
No worries tho, i love how innocent you are😂😂 Kapri styles and Mya g were apparently adult film stars, didn't know that either until I watched Knox Hill's breakdown video😂
Any time u hear Em have an OJ reference he's basically saying he's killing everyone and getting away with it.
And royce it's one of the only people Eminem will give credit for being on the same level lyrically as him
It's interesting watching someone who has no familiarity with Hip Hop slang/terminology, or the history and references trying to "break down" such a complex and technical song. I think if you have a genuine interest in learning and understanding this genre of music, you should watch some of Knox Hill's breakdowns. He's a technical and lyrical rapper who is very adept at pointing out the references, the wordplay, the nuances, and the technical structure of the rhyme schemes in a lot of the same songs. I definitely appreciate your passion for wanting to learn and understand the art of rap, but unless you've grown up with it, it can be overwhelming. Plus, it's such a complex and dynamic art form that relies on the music/tempo/BPM etc and the flow/cadence/rhyme structure all aligning perfectly in order for the lyrics to make sense and follow the rhyme patterns set by the aforementioned beats and rhyme structure. It's just a lot to take in all at once. Anyway, I apologize for the rambling comment, but I appreciate what you're doing, and was just hoping to help. :)
Even with his fast flow Eminem made songs people could rap if they tried. But after being questioned about his "prime era" ending, now only Eminem can rap like Eminem 😭♥️
Eminem did two songs with Rihanna and they are both incredible songs you should check them out I think you would enjoy. They're called Love the Way You lie and monsters
There is also love the way you lie part 2 and numb
@@sillysteve0819 yep 4 songs not 2 and it’s The Monster, not monsters
Kapri Styles and Myo G are both female actors in the "adult entertainment" industry. That's why Royce says he's trying to figure out how to do them
"Eye lost" Fetty Wap a NJ rapper hes blind in one eye
OMG, that's great! Not the lost eye, of course... lol
So happy to get a reply from you youre great man keep it up!
Just started the video. Good Morning from Germany Larry!
Edit: Please don't apologize for laughing. I literally just woke up and already in a good mood after seeing you so excitet!
The Warning - Eminem (Mariah Carey diss)
Love the reaction to the “rapid fire” haha. That’s one of the best flow patterns I’ve ever heard in my opinion
It’s not an age thing, when I first listened to hip-hop as a teenager everything went over my head, as you progress through the journey your ears will be trained for what to listen for and as you begin to catch things and understand it you will find it so satisfying. Also everyone laughs at the bars you did. Great job keep going
So basically Em was calling out random things that have nothing to do with each other, and telling Kelly, that's how much we have in common, meaning they have NOTHING in common.
Kapri and mya g are very inappropriate actresses
Royce Da 5'9" ft Eminem - caterpillar is another banger. nice reaction as always
Please react to Royce Da 5'9 Cocaine.
About to press play and Im so excited to see this man's mind melt.
I would recommend checking out Knox Hill if you want a full breakdown of the song, great way to learn the references
Or look at the genius annotations... same thing.
Don't worry about all the references, pretty soon you can listen again and have that eureka moment which makes the 3rd through 1000th listen that much better!
Please react to 2pac "Brenda's got a baby"
Never apologize for laughing. Thats a whole part of battle rap is witty bars
Sir, if you want a deep meaning lyric then try to listening the Avenged Sevenfold songs...
Thanks for this great reaction Larry, i sometimes also dont know the reference of some lyrics but thats ok, its also about the flow and how he bends words to fit it all together for me, just enjoy the music and the delivery man, your doing great and its fun to watch you explore his music as i am too. And not to forget that Royce has some great flow and lyrics also, i love this track.
Take care and cant wait to see more reactions on Ems music.
I love you man. I love your reactions. Thank you for making smile
Thanks so much Stephen! You too!
These are some of the most technical rappers to ever touch the mic. I'm 28 and have listened to hip hop since I was young. It's hard to grab every reference on a first listen & even the most in depth hip hop heads won't do it on a first listen. Keep it up!!!! The more you listen the easier it gets! You're doing badass.
Larry you are the man. You figure more n more stuff out the more that you listen to Em. I notice, i love you man keep it up!
Some of the references are hard your doin great😁
This song is so bar heavy.. try Little Engine next😁
Thanks Steve!!!
Im so happy with those reactions and props to you brother for reading the comments to understand more about the situation,it just shows that you don’t do this for the views and money and you care about it
Thanks so much! I really enjoy this guy so much!!!!!
I love you called yourself a boomer… very funny. You seem like a very sincere guy man. You seem like a midwesterner just very nice. I’m a midwesterner too. Keep it up.
Thank you so very much!
Em and Royce do some great work together.
Caterpillar is pretty awesome.
I was so happy u got the arms bar !
i just want to mention that the first flow in the song is him mimicking the mumble rappers
Royce da 5 9 (five nine) and Eminem are close friends. They made a duo band in 2011 called ‘Bad meets Evil’ (bad- Royce, Evil- Eminem). Check out that album. My favourites are lighters(collar with Bruno mars) and fast lane.
I was having a belated engagement anniversary in me and my fiancés favourite place when this dropped! I have been looking forward to seeing this!!!
You gotta do eminem "higher" it's so good you will love it, bars on bars on bars
Tech N9ne has a song called No Reason with machine gun Kelly where mgk takes a shot at Eminem. Eminem mentione tech in this song for that verse. The problem is Eminem and tech N9ne are friends and have done a song together. Eminem mentions tech a few times in multiple songs premonition is another from Eminem where he talks about tech N9ne being one of the best ever. Just some small history there too.
Im about 10 videos in and man you crack me up! Keep it going Sir.
Thanks!
MGK did a collab with Tech 9 and dissed Eminem in it and In an interview Tech 9 felt he used his platform to get at Em and had no idea, Tech 9 has mega respect for Eminem
We must protect this man at all cost!!! Lol I absolutely love this guy!
You are literally making my day everyday
Awww, thanks!
The whole point of the song is him saying other rapper have nothing in common with him just like the random words he’s saying but also showing off how easy it is for him to rhyme words at the same time
5.9 and em have known each other since 1998, ish and da 5.9 is a awesome rapper,, one of the best to do it. (BAD meets Evil) em &5.9
Alright...I know these responses are a year or so late but i really do enjoy your reactions and being able to share such (I wouldn't say pointless but more like useable at certain times) knowledge to someone whos willing to listen is a really great feeling. This is Not Alike off Em's Kamikaze album where he pretty much puts the entire world on notice again that although Em may have matured and lessened his anger he still can be the meanest and pettiest person alive lol. Royce...Royce is one of Ems best friends/ rival. In a competitive way. Em is always trying to outdo him in raps just the same way Royce is. They've been friends since probably 98 when Em dropped his Slim Shady LP album. A song named Bad Meets Evil is on it and thats Em introducing Royce to the world since Em had that playform. Back in those days Em was one of the kings of the underground rap scene and he was always finding ways to give other underground rappers their spotlight. Fast forward to 2010 and Em did an entire album with Royce called Bad Meets Evil the sequel. Now in this song Em obviously is saying he and MGK are not alike and Royce is saying that he and modern rappers of today are not alike. Capri Style and Mya G are very feminine looking pants that modern rappers and youngsters are wearing. They are unisex but the fact that they are so flamboyant looking makes Royce wonder how these guys fit in them lol a clever way of saying he doesnt wear skinny jeans. However its also a double entendre because Mya G and Capri Styles are also porn stars that Royce finds attractive to the point of shouting them out on a song so hes confused on how to do both while other rappers are confused trying to rap the way he does lol. He also says rappers are more concerned with drinks inside Styrofoam cups and being on drugs at the same time. Whereas hes more into doubling up his commas or making money off of his career as a rapper. That's Royce's perspective on the song. Finally he ends his verse by saying that Royce is good enough to be King of the rap game where as the modern rappers are barely fit to fit into Prince's pants. Yes the singer from the 80s. He's saying they are as fruity looking as Prince was lol. Hope that helps.
For many fans, Rocye was introduced when Bad Meets Evil was released. But much of what you are experiencing started 20+ years ago, when Dre and Em hooked up. Best advice I can give, start from Em's beginning and react up that chain, because starting here is more face value appreciation versus career appreciation. :)
Also, watch the Sway / Eminem interview, that helps clear up a bit more of the MGK ordeal. But EM sent that boy to a different music genre altogether and still ja rules him in a lot of his new music. :)
