@@zoned6016 I completely forgot about that and thinking back, I only remember the weird beard part. So like... a nobody pushed back, because I had to look up the dudes name. Lol.
@@strangerlucky5753 Em really focuses on lyrics and the meaning behind it in all of his songs like a poet. First time I listened to this song when I young I was completely awestruck with flow and beat. After I got a bit older and paid attention to lyrics that’s when I truly appreciated his music and was saddened when I realized most of today’s rap is kinda hollow, just empty words with catchy beats.
not only is his super sonic part insanely fast but its super CLEAR, unlike most rappers when they do super sonic parts you can can hear every word he raps in that part with clarity
The JJ Fad reference is so overlooked in this song. When he says "Lyrics coming at you at supersonic speed (JJ FAD)" he raps the next verse in the same style as the band JJ FAD on their song "Super Sonic". They were a girls rap group in the 90's
@@edwardpeak8481 mainly because he lost his his original personality trait. He used to be highly controversial doing whatever he wanted. Most of his old songs were aggressive/rough for a angry kid compared to now that's just world play, soft tone, and female back upsingers.

It pissed off a lot of his fans that just fell out of him.
Every single English major and English teacher I know LOVES Eminem because the depths of his fucking rhymes. Like, recognize talent where talent lives. His lyrics get every bit as complicated as an orchestral composition.
@PsyQuake If there's one thing that UA-cam has taught me this past year is that there is so much entertainment content in the world today, that it's apparently impossible that everyone has heard even all the popular stuff. Kids out here who have never seen Terminator, Robocop, or even The Matrix. Large swaths of people who've never seen a Marvel movie or a Batman movie. Weird, but possible.
@PsyQuake the dude has been living in Spain for a good few years, entirely possible for the song to not get as much coverage there as it did in the US and UK.
@PsyQuake oooh hostile, someone thinks they are a big man. 😂 35 in a chart isn’t impressive in the slightest, nor does it indicate that someone should have heard the song. Get YOUR facts straight. How much air time do you think the 35th rated song is getting? 😂 that was the best you could do. Not sure which is funnier, the thought that you think 35 in the charts is a high enough position to make the claim that someone MUST have heard a song, or the fact that you went out of your to research something just to accidentally prove yourself wrong without even realising it. 😂 Incredible work sir.
Fun fact In the song " Remember me * eminem had a line about not cursing for 6 minutes which was then followed by an homage to 'slick rick who use to say " 6 minutes Doug e fresh you're on " on his song" The show " with Doug e fresh So on remember me Eminem said " 6 minutes slim shady you're on " In the beginning of rap god you can hear a flashback to that " 6 minutes.... 6 minutes.... 6 minutes slim shady you're on" And rap god is 6 minutes
some nice old school Easter Eggs in this track, love the Busta reference: MCs get taken to school with this music 'Cause I use it as a vehicle to "bus the rhyme" Now I lead a new school full of students...........So dope!!
@@jfrancoginn6923 idk, honestly. Him and Dre have both said in numerous interviews that nobody even really wanted to give him a chance. They didn’t think a blonde white guy had what it took to make it in hip hop back then.
No lie, you're definitely a type of reactor that I can relate to. You're intelligent, concise, and knowledgeable; hard to come across in the land of keyboard warriors. You're up there with Knox Hill, the difference is the way you talk. It's a lot more relatable to the way I convey my thoughts, while Knox has a little more knowledge of the flow schemes and patterns because he's a rapper as well. Long story short, thank you for making reactions that are a very high caliber in mostly all aspects.
@@kaflesantosh8875 Calm down; it seems as though my opinion hurts your feelings. You don't belong on the internet. It's MY opinion, which can't be wrong. ✌🏼
The beginning is an homage to “Max Headroom” a show in the late 80’s with a artificial intelligence doing dialog with all the same types of skips and jumps in the picture.
@@lynette. It was short lived though. The character actually became iconic because of all the corporate ads he'd go on to sponsor. Max Headroom, imho, is the penultimate icon of the 80s being the dawn of the computer age with the plastic and neon aesthetics practically hardwired into our memories of that time period.
@@lynette. .. Many don't know, but there are two different versions of '20 minutes into the future'. The original British one, and the later American version. Then there was a shortlived TV series.
The "supersonic" part is a tribute to JJ Fad's hit "Supersonic". My favorite is when Em is mixing up batter and puts his hands out to his sides like "what am I supposed to do if I can't batter the women" F--king hilarious!!! I do that in my car, driving or not!
Bro, I've watched many reactions to this track over the years. So many listeners appreciate the rhyme scheme, production, the annunciation and lyrical dexterity but, you have to be of a certain age to appreciate the full scope references. It's such a great track.
It’s put there by @mrlboyd because UA-cam was blocking this video because of the embedded Eminem video. It disguises the embedded video from the copyright algorithm.
Mine says 'Content is not available in your Country due to a Legal complaint from the Government' But our former National Government plagiarised Eminem's music for their Campaign & were sued by him - so it makes sense!😂
Great reaction! The video is a throwback to the scene in The Matrix where Neo is connected to the mainframe to learn martial arts. Eminem is having all of the rap skills of those mentioned in the song uploaded into his brain. It's on point with the message that he is a product of those who came before.
The "breaking a table over the back of a couple of..." was a reference to his beef with the Insane Clown Posse. Their affiliation with wrestling was brought up a lot when Em would diss them.
The Supersonic was a direct reference to the 80s female group JJ Fad who's top song was "Supersonic". She does this verse at the end rapping super fast and it starts with "I'm soma luma tomma luma...." Just like he did. This dude is a real child of Hip Hop.
Em is the only artist I can think of who consistently improves his game on the regular. Think about that for a second, man. There are so many groups who are good, but people constantly talk about how much better their "early stuff" was. But it simply isn't true for Em. I am in awe of this man's work ethic.
I herd that song before I herd rap god as me mom had me grow up listening to 70s 80s and 90s rap and she wanted me to know where the song got inspired by before I listened to it
I couldn't believe he didn't catch that JJ Fad Supersonic reference. Hell, I'm in my 50's and caught that (Yes, I've been a fan of rap a LONG time, since a teenager in high school)
Best part is that Eminem outside his songs is very humble man, who just loves this game with all heart, who pays tribute to all greatest MCs and shoutout to new promising MCs.
To show an aspect of this humbleness, Eminem asked his manager if it made sense to buy a Rolex as he saw one that he liked and he didn't know if he could afford it. The manager responded "it really depends on the cost really" as a joke. Eminem showed him one for 10k and asked if it was too expensive. For context, he already released his 3rd studio album at this point. He would have been worth 10s of millions at this point. He still only bought the one. I should also mention, I knew people associated with his daughters. They are all beyond nice and Eminem definitely is in that group. I happened to be at a major party Hailey was at and a close friend talked with her decently. He said if you didn't know who she was, you would have no idea it was her.
I've been a fan of Em and a student of the rap game all my life yet here I am, feeling so dumb for never catching that "trip a broad" line...that's the magic of rap and Em specifically, you always catch something new
His references are also insane. He literally watches obscure stuff from random points. This video focuses on the Max Hedroom incident but he has pulled references from a 3 episode series that was canceled from the 60s, a random reference to a movie from the 80s, and a call back to a movie from the 40s. I would not want to verse him in any cultural trivia game.
He got all the recognition in the 90’s when the competition in the music industry was brutal. In the last 2 decades music completely sucked, tho, and it doesn’t matter what tasteless and mediocre people think.
i think i figured out why i can do rap god but not hardware store. rap god all those words flow perfectly so it's easy to do them very fast. hardware store is just a list of stuff random really really fast. no flow.
Challenge to break down? How about Godzilla... good luck keeping up with Eminem spitting out hundreds of words in a short succession. 🤣 Makes my head hurt trying to keep up... but he doesn't mumble, so at least it's audible.
"The only Hall of Fame I'll be inducted in is the alcohol of fame" - I love this verse for so many reasons but mostly because Em was just inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2022. If you haven't watched the video of his entire set and his speech from the induction I highly recommend checking it out.
@@mattmanlooloo Word. Literary Joyce, Wilde, Blake, Homer, Yeats, etc etc et al. I'm with that double take - rewind - listen again 'til they plant type bars.
Subbed within 2 minutes of this video. Love how you clearly understand lyrics that others skip over because it's too fast for them to think but you seem to be catching them all. Very cool bro. Can't wait to check out more of your vids!
Lol I watch a first time movie reactor. Dude is reacting to some Of the biggest movies for the first time. Terminator, alien, fast and furious godfather, just every big movie. He claims he has never seen before. Meanwhile, this idiot does his reactions in front of a wall of about 2000 dvds, maybe more. Nobody with that many dvds never seen terminator before. These first time reactors are all BS.
@HaZe FiT 89 not everyone is interested in music that much. You can be anywhere in the world and still listen music to any countries but they're people who don't really give a shit about listening to music. You can say "rap god" didn't go to the reactor's recommend since he doesn't listen to Eminem
I just found your channel but I love your reaction style. You seem so well spoken and informed on the topic, plus your reactions aren't over the top. Subscribed and looking forward to watching your other videos.
Dude, this was my favorite reaction of yours! This song proves MM is on the Mt. Rushmore of all time rappers, along with 2 Pac, Snoop, and Cube. Shout out to RUN and Beasties, but giving props to the solo artists
That's why this song is so brilliant. It's the cadences. It's how different it is. Imo it's a work of art. Not because of the speed that everybody talks about. Which is insane I agree. But that's not why I think this is an unbelievable song
None of my friends understand how I love this guy! I'm not generally a rap/hip hop fan, but Mathers has absolute credit... street, talent and one of the fastest brain/mouth connections ever. Brilliant writer and performer.
Oooohhh this is gonna be a good one 😍😍😂😂🙏🙏 I was 17 when The Slim Shady Lp came out. That album opened up a whole new world for me. I'm danish and my dad is a rock guitarist, so that was pretty much my music back then. Em was the first artist I discovered on my own and every single time he comes out with a new album, I go back to being 17. And I don't even like hiphop 😂😂 But I love talent 🥰
I’d say yes in terms of how much he can flip the words and reverse the meanings and stretch the syllables with phrases etc it’s craZily intelligent. I respect him so much for his wordplay
People think that by rapping fast he portrayed that he is rap God while the real reason is the technicalities of this song.. Same with Godzilla , improved in both the segments 🐐
Is anyone else seeing "This content is not available in your country due to a legal complaint from the government" in the corner where the music video is? I am guessing they claimed a copy right and so you had to overlay it to hide the video but I am not seeing anyone else asking about the weird overlay seeing as you can still see the video behind it.
New viewer, but I go on a kick of people reacting to classic songs every so often and for this one in particular you pointed out subtle things in the lyrics I never noticed before. Props for paying close attention and really taking the song in!
I have to be honest,I've watched your react vids a few times over because bro I am addicted ! This one though, dude, your face when the "lyrics comin atcha with supersonic speed" just KILLS me every time. I LOVE IT. Best reactor on YT I found by accident! Keep doing what you do. .intelligent, articulate, you know your shizz and you rock it everytime 👊 🇮🇪
Don't know if anyone else has said this but he is impersonating Max Headroom when he has the yellow hair. Max is known for being a computer program back in the 80' or 90's. So him saying I got a laptop in my back pocket is also saying he has a computer on his person but the person is also in the computer. ( A.I. ) or the computer itself.
You gotta be at least my age or a history buff of MTV! I grew up watching MTV, running home from school to catch the top ten, yo MTV raps , and of course, late night head banging! How far we've come, yet how far we've fallen. Do you remember when they used the max on back to the future? Lol, people are no fun anymore, I wonder if kids these days know how hard their parents partied, Gen x was crazy and fun as hell
@@beentheredonethat5908 Yo! Hell yeah back then was fun! MTV, Yo! MTV raps, BET and Rap city were a big part of my childhood. I am 45 now but I still remember when Dire straits dropped "Money for Nothing " on MTV. It was one of the first videos to premiere on there and one of the first videos to use computer like graphics. Great to meet you family, take care.
@@BBroadnax yes sir. I was too young for the original incantation with Ricky Rachman. But when Jamie Jasta brought it back in the early 2000s I had already been doing my homework and was so excited to see it come back to life. All hail metal \m/
I just realized he said "But for me to rap like a computer It must be in my genes I got a laptop in my back pocket" and the computer is literally in his jeans. Genius
You probably won't see this as it's so long after you posted it, but your voice is wonderful and as a regular documentary watcher and audiobook listener I would love to listen to your voice.
Specifically just YES!! 🖤🖤🖤 Edit: most underrated and missed bar: “Lyrics coming at you with supersonic speed (JJ Fab)”… **JJ Fab was a female group back in the day and a hit(?) song of theirs was called “Supersonic”. 🖤🖤🖤
@@AbsoluteApril I’m old too…just put the (?) after because my brain couldn’t remember the year, decade, era, etc. at the immediately specific moment!! 🤣🤣🤣
@@TooRealForMost it is Fad but of course he is referencing their hit Supersonic, He even says the "A sama lama lama lama doo ma nama seema nama" line from the fast part
Only bad thing about this song is that it overshadowed the rest of the album which in my opinion, is one of his best with songs like Bad Guy, Asshole, Berzerk, Evil Twin, Desperation, Wicked Ways, etc
This song is a challenge to every single rapper in the game. He’s doing every single rap cadence and flow in rap. That’s why it’s “rap god” basically saying : I dare you to not say I’m a rap God, let see how that goes. No one responded tho.
It’s possible. I stopped listening to the radio about 1998. Maybe earlier. And when was listening to it it wasn’t the top 40 stations. I lost hope for music at around that time which I thought new music coming out was dodo. But the last 10 years or so I’ve been trying to look for artists that I never gave a chance before and listen to what they got and if I vibed with their music. I can say I’ve only heard one song that’s decent for my own liking of Eminem. Most recently i found a second one, Godzilla. Not sure if you are a younger gen guy….but I’ve come to learn that not everyone likes the same stuff I do. Occasionally I’ll play a song to someone to see “if they remember it”…..and blows my brains when they haven’t. And the song was a massive hit. So I get what you’re thinking. Just wanted to share that it is possible. I’m not saying this bruh is an example. Don’t really watch him often. He pauses too dang much😁 Hope I didn’t sound too offensive in trying to explain, brother. Aloha✌🏾🤙🏾🎼🤘🏾
He is not saying he hasnt heard eminem, he is saying he hasnt heard this song, and its possible, alot of people have only heard emimem up until 8 mile then after that not as much.
I think he means first time reacting to rap god not Eminem. But I didn’t hear rap god until last year and I’ve heard Eminem since the early 2000’s I stopped listening to em for like 7 years and switched genres so I can see how he might’ve missed it.
tbh, i stopped following hip hop around 2006 (when i got deeper into Metal) and didn't start paying attention again until about 2018, so everything new in between passed me by. if you had asked me 4 years ago who kendrick or j cole were, i could not have told you. as for mr. L not knowing eminem: he says he owned the marshal mathers LP back in the day, but stopped following new stuff after that. I think it's not impossible this is true.
Damn man, this isn't some reaction, this is an analysis. Your succinct, quick-to-the-point comments make for great learning for a scrub like me who didn't catch so many of these references. Appreciate you.
dont worry about the fan its fine. im not a rap fan but i do like some of the songs. but im still amazed you can understand every word he says in that fast part. big respect for that.

I couldn't believe he didn't catch that JJ Fad Supersonic reference. Hell, I'm in my 50's and caught that (Yes, I've been a fan of rap a LONG time, since a teenager in high school)
@@ChipW respect I’m only 16 but my mom knew were rap was going and didn’t want me listening to shitty mumble rap
Jj fad and were here to rock! Supersonic!
Every time Eminem hits the "lyric solo," I instantly think of George Watsky's "Whoa Whoa Whoa." Vocal talent that decimates anyone else.
Best part is that Eminem outside his songs is very humble man, who just loves this game with all heart, who pays tribute to all greatest MCs and shoutout to new promising MCs.
Best part about Em for me is that he doesn't hold back on his bars
To show an aspect of this humbleness, Eminem asked his manager if it made sense to buy a Rolex as he saw one that he liked and he didn't know if he could afford it. The manager responded "it really depends on the cost really" as a joke. Eminem showed him one for 10k and asked if it was too expensive. For context, he already released his 3rd studio album at this point. He would have been worth 10s of millions at this point. He still only bought the one.
I should also mention, I knew people associated with his daughters. They are all beyond nice and Eminem definitely is in that group. I happened to be at a major party Hailey was at and a close friend talked with her decently. He said if you didn't know who she was, you would have no idea it was her.
he says whatever he wants and most ppl just say fuck it" hes eminem and deal with it" cause hes the GOAT
I've been a fan of Em and a student of the rap game all my life yet here I am, feeling so dumb for never catching that "trip a broad" line...that's the magic of rap and Em specifically, you always catch something new
His references are also insane. He literally watches obscure stuff from random points. This video focuses on the Max Hedroom incident but he has pulled references from a 3 episode series that was canceled from the 60s, a random reference to a movie from the 80s, and a call back to a movie from the 40s. I would not want to verse him in any cultural trivia game.
I don't understand how Eminem doesn't get the recognition he deserves... he is unreal!! Lyrical genius and incredible flows 💛
Isn't Eminem one of the biggest names in rap?
@@slashdotism back in my day he was but lately online I see so many people say "he's trash" and I'm here thinking has the world gone mad????
@@daniahkitten it’s because gen z are sensitive as fuck and can’t take his shit, I’m saying this as a gen z myself but I love Eminems music
@@daniahkitten it's mostly political. He told a large portion of his fanbase to fuck off if they supported Trump.
He got all the recognition in the 90’s when the competition in the music industry was brutal. In the last 2 decades music completely sucked, tho, and it doesn’t matter what tasteless and mediocre people think.
If you want to hear Weird Al rap like this, listen to his song "Hardware Store". It's one of his best non-parody songs.
Hardware Store is freaking amazing.
i can sing the supersonic speed part of rap god. i can't do hardware store.
i think i figured out why i can do rap god but not hardware store. rap god all those words flow perfectly so it's easy to do them very fast. hardware store is just a list of stuff random really really fast. no flow.
Dude is so clean hearing with his rapping no matter what!!!!!
Love how you catch most things in the song, where as it goes over the heads of most reaction channels. Great work.
It’s because it’s not legit. Dude has heard rap god before and likely has heard it hundreds of times. Fake.
“I make elevated music you make elevator music”
Not even that good of a bar. Proves how overrated he is
@@bfcclarets4694 It’s not a bar at all it’s just funny
Not really funny either unless u have shit banter
I though it was: i make "elevate her" music you make elevator music
@@brookedavis5950 probably did i never seen the lyrics
Bro I’m sure ppl said it before but “Gnat” is your challenge to break down lol
This song but upgraded fs
And the new killer remix!
@@bobbyfryer7758 he has done the new killer remix.
Challenge to break down? How about Godzilla... good luck keeping up with Eminem spitting out hundreds of words in a short succession. 🤣
Makes my head hurt trying to keep up... but he doesn't mumble, so at least it's audible.
@@Ibonic gnat is as fast as godzilla
"The only Hall of Fame I'll be inducted in is the alcohol of fame" - I love this verse for so many reasons but mostly because Em was just inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2022. If you haven't watched the video of his entire set and his speech from the induction I highly recommend checking it out.
I love his "inadvertently hurting you" line. Like "I'm so good nobody looks good by comparison".
This is exactly the type of content I rabbit-hole with. Like academic, thoughtful breakdowns of hiphop. Studious understanding. Heavy context.
Listen to his reactions to Aesop Rock. You need a literary professor holding your hand the first time you really take apart Aes's work
@@mattmanlooloo Word. Literary Joyce, Wilde, Blake, Homer, Yeats, etc etc et al. I'm with that double take - rewind - listen again 'til they plant type bars.
The “Supersonic” was in reference to JJ FAD. Old school girl group that rapped fast on the song.
I was looking for this comment 👌
Me too
Subbed within 2 minutes of this video. Love how you clearly understand lyrics that others skip over because it's too fast for them to think but you seem to be catching them all. Very cool bro. Can't wait to check out more of your vids!
These "First time hearing" reactors must've grown up living under a rock or something.
right!
He’s lived in Spain/Europe for many years. Stopped following US music and culture.
Lol I watch a first time movie reactor. Dude is reacting to some
Of the biggest movies for the first time. Terminator, alien, fast and furious godfather, just every big movie. He claims he has never seen before. Meanwhile, this idiot does his reactions in front of a wall of about 2000 dvds, maybe more. Nobody with that many dvds never seen terminator before. These first time reactors are all BS.
Dude says in every Em video he knows his old stuff, not the new.
@HaZe FiT 89 not everyone is interested in music that much. You can be anywhere in the world and still listen music to any countries but they're people who don't really give a shit about listening to music. You can say "rap god" didn't go to the reactor's recommend since he doesn't listen to Eminem
Your gradual looks of disbelief are great. Love your channel. Thanks for the hard work and dedication. Respect 🫡
I just found your channel but I love your reaction style. You seem so well spoken and informed on the topic, plus your reactions aren't over the top. Subscribed and looking forward to watching your other videos.
Dude, this was my favorite reaction of yours! This song proves MM is on the Mt. Rushmore of all time rappers, along with 2 Pac, Snoop, and Cube. Shout out to RUN and Beasties, but giving props to the solo artists
That's why this song is so brilliant. It's the cadences. It's how different it is. Imo it's a work of art. Not because of the speed that everybody talks about. Which is insane I agree. But that's not why I think this is an unbelievable song
Max headroom was a computer generated program, it was special effects. But that is where I believe he got the Idea
I enjoy your vibe and commentary.....God bless.......
None of my friends understand how I love this guy! I'm not generally a rap/hip hop fan, but Mathers has absolute credit... street, talent and one of the fastest brain/mouth connections ever. Brilliant writer and performer.
In the 90’s, everybody used to love him no matter what kind of music they preferred. I used to hate rap but I was still buying Eminem’s albums.
Oooohhh this is gonna be a good one 😍😍😂😂🙏🙏 I was 17 when The Slim Shady Lp came out. That album opened up a whole new world for me. I'm danish and my dad is a rock guitarist, so that was pretty much my music back then. Em was the first artist I discovered on my own and every single time he comes out with a new album, I go back to being 17. And I don't even like hiphop 😂😂 But I love talent 🥰
Eminem is just above it at this point. I remember his underground shit before MTV!
You'll hear others say Godzilla is even faster, and while this is true, lyrically wise, rap god has it beat.
I’d say yes in terms of how much he can flip the words and reverse the meanings and stretch the syllables with phrases etc it’s craZily intelligent. I respect him so much for his wordplay
Rap god has way to many stupid references in it about people talking trash about him at the time. It ruins it for some parts
Much move bro lucky to see you reacting to this song
Killer channel. Great take and great video my friend!
I specifically like this specific content 👍
do you know what ocean is on the west coast.....?
it's Pacific.
I love this guy's breakdowns. My favorite is Pneuma.
People think that by rapping fast he portrayed that he is rap God while the real reason is the technicalities of this song..
Same with Godzilla , improved in both the segments
🐐
I love the way you just slowly look at the us then back at the video. Love your stuff Mr. Lloyd
the sheer volume is crazy.. No heavy breathing .. Words all legible.
The "So gay you can barely say it with a straight face" line gets over looked a lot. Probably one of my favorites.
The first time I heard this, my head fell off when he hit that JJ Fad part.
Is anyone else seeing "This content is not available in your country due to a legal complaint from the government" in the corner where the music video is? I am guessing they claimed a copy right and so you had to overlay it to hide the video but I am not seeing anyone else asking about the weird overlay seeing as you can still see the video behind it.
Ya
Same -- luckily they didn't strip the audio
It's just an edit he made lol
Yes I see it.
New viewer, but I go on a kick of people reacting to classic songs every so often and for this one in particular you pointed out subtle things in the lyrics I never noticed before. Props for paying close attention and really taking the song in!
yo its been 3 or 4 yrs... I still love watching your genuine reaction... hope to share with my friends again 3 yrs from now ..lpeace 🙂
I have to say i appreciated how much MrLBoyd here understood many of the references in the lyrics. A lot of rap history in this too.
7:53-8:00
The reaction he had to that verse has to be what everyone did when they first heard this song
Never apologize for a fan blowing. I like your content. Of course I value your comfort. Thanks!
I have to be honest,I've watched your react vids a few times over because bro I am addicted ! This one though, dude, your face when the "lyrics comin atcha with supersonic speed" just KILLS me every time. I LOVE IT. Best reactor on YT I found by accident! Keep doing what you do. .intelligent, articulate, you know your shizz and you rock it everytime 👊
🇮🇪
That dumbfounded look from the supersonic rap is priceless.
6:33 yeah, can feel it
He's always showing respect to the greats that influenced him, it's so awesome to hear IMO
Don't know if anyone else has said this but he is impersonating Max Headroom when he has the yellow hair. Max is known for being a computer program back in the 80' or 90's. So him saying I got a laptop in my back pocket is also saying he has a computer on his person but the person is also in the computer. ( A.I. ) or the computer itself.
You gotta be at least my age or a history buff of MTV! I grew up watching MTV, running home from school to catch the top ten, yo MTV raps , and of course, late night head banging! How far we've come, yet how far we've fallen.
Do you remember when they used the max on back to the future? Lol, people are no fun anymore, I wonder if kids these days know how hard their parents partied, Gen x was crazy and fun as hell
@@beentheredonethat5908 Yo! Hell yeah back then was fun! MTV, Yo! MTV raps, BET and Rap city were a big part of my childhood. I am 45 now but I still remember when Dire straits dropped "Money for Nothing " on MTV. It was one of the first videos to premiere on there and one of the first videos to use computer like graphics.
Great to meet you family, take care.
Headbangers Ball was my shit!!!
@@derekfletcher8934 That shit was awesome bro!
@@BBroadnax yes sir. I was too young for the original incantation with Ricky Rachman. But when Jamie Jasta brought it back in the early 2000s I had already been doing my homework and was so excited to see it come back to life.
All hail metal \m/
I just realized he said "But for me to rap like a computer It must be in my genes I got a laptop in my back pocket" and the computer is literally in his jeans. Genius
You probably won't see this as it's so long after you posted it, but your voice is wonderful and as a regular documentary watcher and audiobook listener I would love to listen to your voice.
I use the word immediately with my kids so much more now thanks to you.
EM=RAP GOD!
“We don’t have to use words like that...”
The name of the song is rap god. By Eminem. Lol
I think he does...😂
Bro just stumbled on you and I love your reactions lol
This a great reaction video. Good stuff
7:50 is what everyone is waiting for :D
Great reaction
Specifically just YES!!
🖤🖤🖤
Edit: most underrated and missed bar:
“Lyrics coming at you with supersonic speed (JJ Fab)”…
**JJ Fab was a female group back in the day and a hit(?) song of theirs was called “Supersonic”.
🖤🖤🖤
Its "Fad", not Fab. And him saying supersonic has nothing to do with JJ Fad at all
yes it was a hit (source, I am old)
@@AbsoluteApril
I’m old too…just put the (?) after because my brain couldn’t remember the year, decade, era, etc. at the immediately specific moment!!
🤣🤣🤣
@@RavennaBlack :D
@@TooRealForMost it is Fad but of course he is referencing their hit Supersonic, He even says the "A sama lama lama lama doo ma nama seema nama" line from the fast part
Only bad thing about this song is that it overshadowed the rest of the album which in my opinion, is one of his best with songs like Bad Guy, Asshole, Berzerk, Evil Twin, Desperation, Wicked Ways, etc
Wicked ways is definitely underrated amd one of my favorite songs
The cadence at 7:50 of your video was a shout out to J.J Fad's "Supersonic" which was produced by Dr. Dre.
Eminem is the best ever
Even if its the first react thats what makes it better
Kendrick Lamar's "How much a dollar cost"It's of the best songs ever definitely want to listen to that one.
Eminem can say this because he is the rap god.
Love this song and it may take a couple of times but you can hear every word he says
Great analysis! Loved how fast you were able to react and understand it all, and contextualize it for us plebs.
Best line: “I bully myself cause I make me do what I put my mind to”
This song is a challenge to every single rapper in the game. He’s doing every single rap cadence and flow in rap. That’s why it’s “rap god” basically saying : I dare you to not say I’m a rap God, let see how that goes. No one responded tho.
Truth! If anyone has a any shot, it’d be Joyner, but...man...Marshall is a legend
@@williamallen7984 Joyner? Lmao
it is practically impossible that this is the first time you're hearing eminem. especially rap god
Was thinking the same thing!!!
It’s possible. I stopped listening to the radio about 1998. Maybe earlier. And when was listening to it it wasn’t the top 40 stations.
I lost hope for music at around that time which I thought new music coming out was dodo. But the last 10 years or so I’ve been trying to look for artists that I never gave a chance before and listen to what they got and if I vibed with their music. I can say I’ve only heard one song that’s decent for my own liking of Eminem. Most recently i found a second one, Godzilla.
Not sure if you are a younger gen guy….but I’ve come to learn that not everyone likes the same stuff I do. Occasionally I’ll play a song to someone to see “if they remember it”…..and blows my brains when they haven’t. And the song was a massive hit.
So I get what you’re thinking. Just wanted to share that it is possible. I’m not saying this bruh is an example. Don’t really watch him often. He pauses too dang much😁
Hope I didn’t sound too offensive in trying to explain, brother.
Aloha✌🏾🤙🏾🎼🤘🏾
He is not saying he hasnt heard eminem, he is saying he hasnt heard this song, and its possible, alot of people have only heard emimem up until 8 mile then after that not as much.
I think he means first time reacting to rap god not Eminem. But I didn’t hear rap god until last year and I’ve heard Eminem since the early 2000’s I stopped listening to em for like 7 years and switched genres so I can see how he might’ve missed it.
tbh, i stopped following hip hop around 2006 (when i got deeper into Metal) and didn't start paying attention again until about 2018, so everything new in between passed me by. if you had asked me 4 years ago who kendrick or j cole were, i could not have told you.
as for mr. L not knowing eminem: he says he owned the marshal mathers LP back in the day, but stopped following new stuff after that. I think it's not impossible this is true.
Your voice reminds me of the underground radio DJs back in the day playing R&B and Rock.
Damn man, this isn't some reaction, this is an analysis. Your succinct, quick-to-the-point comments make for great learning for a scrub like me who didn't catch so many of these references. Appreciate you.
I have no idea how it's possible for a person to not have heard this song....thats suuuuper hard to believe.
First time I've heard it, today
This song’s lyrics must’ve used an entire notebook.
Em is the only person that can rap that fast but you can still understand all of the words. 🐐
Nf
6:38 notice he paid homage to JJ FAD's song Supersonic by using their flow, but took it to another level. Em's legit a student of Hip-Hop.
dont worry about the fan its fine. im not a rap fan but i do like some of the songs. but im still amazed you can understand every word he says in that fast part. big respect for that.
