@@clivewells1736 tell me one way he fall. He is healthy, rich, still work on albums, his flow is better, he got solid bars, he still outsold everyone when he put out an album, even without advertising, he is no1 worldwide. I don't understand how people say he fell off..
@@Jiren488 people don't understand how polished and sharp Marshall is. Dawg I love all of Eminems personas but this mature Eminem is so 🔥. He's only gotten better. Glad someone understands my thoughts on Em and he's my top 3 if not the 🐐
I always liked the “Maybe Stan just isn’t your cup of tea” line because the beat in Stan is from the Dido song “Thank You” and the opening lyrics are “my teas gone cold”. It’s the chorus in Stan.
What about Eminem's storytelling? Scheming? Flow? Different Cadences? Overall writing ability? As a producer. Not to mention the bars and wordplay. All around he is the GOAT, because he has all of the tools people look for in a good rapper, hip hop artist, pop star, actor, etc.
It is a little sad to see him lose his mind over a simple bar like "Like an evil spell I'm E.V.I.L" Just shows that he is used to listening to utter mumble nonsense with no thought or skill put into it.
Plane is LMAO... but he's doing MUCH better than when he started out! I bought the first album when it came out (being a metal head) and still miss bars.
Kala Brown was the victim of a serial killer in the mid 2010s. she was locked and chained up in a shipping container for months and was finally released. "Off the chain like Kala Brown" probably means that he feels he's free of others' opinions and he has the freedom to make whatever music he wants
Probably, and I feel bad LFR missed the first bars and who he is referencing at the start. Em is a lyrical genius since unless you know about his early career to now, you would completely miss the references.
That line you’re looking too deep into it. “Off the chain” has been an expression for a long time, when you say something is “off the chain” you’re saying it’s badass, it’s cool, it’s the best etc. other rappers have made similar bars with other people such as “off the chain like django”.
@@frankmartin755 That is what makes Em great though, he could be using for a line but most of the time in all his music he references something when he name drops and has a meaning behind it.
I enjoyed the reaction:)) In the last part hes talking about Trump. The secret service showed up to talk to him owing to some “threats” eminem send at Trump
@@kocain313 it was this song not the cypher.. the cypher was all just ripping trump but the comment states in the last verse he’s talking about when the secret service showed up because of what he’d said before.. which yes was what he’d said in the cypher but Hededom is talking about what he says here in this verse in particular not in the cypher.. therefore your comment makes no sense 🤦🏻♂️
He was talking about everybody who called his 2017 album Revival wack. He responded for those critics on his 2018 album Kamikaze. This was the intro of that album
J.Cole has admitted to sounding like a combination of Eminem and Nas when he first came out and initially started putting out albums before he developed his own style and subject matter. Fun fact, if you revisit his older albums you can peep a lot of Eminem inspired flows.
Finally somebody who is intelligent enough to understand the lyrical genius, penmanship and literary devices that "Em" uses throughout his verses. This was a pleasure to watch.
Yo yo jo jo.. i f*x witchu... Im an old head, 42yrs old and i grew with em over the last 20 yrs and its so refreshing to hear a millennial like yourself say "as i become student of the game nd actually listen" cause these mumble rap fans of the millennial era weren't around in the 90's and 2000's like i was.. hip hop/rap has changed sooo drastically over the last 20yrs and its love to see you actually LISTEN and appreciate the CRAFT and ART of this genre... Keep reacting lil bruh... 😁👍🏼✌🏼👊🏼
Loved the reaction! You have a lot to learn, young Jojo. You caught the words, and a good amount of bars, but the context often went over your head for a lot of them. Still, you made do with what you knew and were able to make it coherent in meaning, but intended meanings were sometimes a bit over your head when it comes to context. No shade, tho! It takes years of study (or at least constant googling, even when you don't think it's needed) to understand the background that goes into a lot of these bars. Just because it seems to make sense to you, doesn't always mean you got the whole story or you interpreted it clearly. Keep doing your thing, man! The raw reaction is what we're here for!
@@samwhite7693 What are you doing here then? Were you hoping he'd just shit on Em's music or something? This was a comment meant to encourage his exploration of the lyrics from an artist he chose to react to. I was the same way, appreciating the music without always knowing the backstory. The more I learned, the more enriching the music became for me. I only wish that for Jojo as well. Miss me with that negativity.
As a youngster myself, I have actually followed Em since he was an underground MC, then when Dre signed him back in 98’, then after that since Slim Shady LP till this day and the amount of rappers/artists that has destroyed their own career by dissing Em is actually crazy, but overall lil homie has a lot to learn about Eminem
@@lyndawn2577 For sure. I don't hold anything against people who didn't grow up with Em. Just trying to let on to those who're interested that there's a lot more depth than appears on the surface for new fans. I'm always discovering new bars even over 2 decades after I first heard them.
If we are just judging by flow, the ringer is probably one of his best. I haven't listened to enough of old Em to know if that's true but he went crazy in this joint
For as young as you are, you are doing a great job catching a lot of his references. The first few bars are about Vince Staples and along with the media journalist who said Revival was bad. He then circles back to it in the middle of the song. Em is just a lyrical genius when it comes to linking his bars and circling back around to things.
Two things ..... one of the GOATs of rap Rakim said if Eminem was black, he'd be the next Muhammed Ali. Who called himself the greatest. Also, that last verse to understand who he was talking about you have to hear the 2017 BET cypher he did.
The not sleeping line was a triple for his sleeping meds addiction that's what almost ended him. Keep it up with the reviews Em is a gold mine for traffic.
Just wait until you “discover” the multi syllable rhymes and then the rhyme schemes aswell you’ll hear everything different. First listen you assume he says anything he wants just because, then later you listen and realize how tight the writing is in the rhymes and schemes on top of the entendres and other tricks 🔥
The Reason Eminem was so pissed at the rap industry and the youtube critics. Was they were giving him shit about the album Revival which was different from his usual music. They wanted his old persona Slim shady twist not serious music, and alot of haters in the Hip-hop scene. So he got his revenge in Kamakaze and still needed to vent it out on his next two albums Music to be Murdered by and Music to be Murdered by Side-B.
Daaaam bro wish your phone was on so you could look up Kala Brown in your reaction.. she was a girl that was being kept locked in s as basement by chains and sometime ago she was about to get the neighbors attention and police set her free! Crazy that Em used that line
Let us not forget that eminem is, by FAR, the best selling rap artist of all time. He recently just became the artist with the most top certified gold/platinum singles world wide, of ALL genres. His flops still sell more than every other rapper besides Drake, even Revival is platinum. Him not getting airplay in the last 5 years doesn't mean much, other than how dumbed down music is, considering the albums that "didn't sell" are still all platinum. Only Drake sells more than him now and it's not by a lot.
But sales dont make greatness. Em is the best writer and he sounds real cool, however, Happy is the Freestyling GOAT of this galaxy. Its not even close.
Not seeing himself in the mirror is also a characteristic of vampires who are undead and usually evil. He's a genius at double entendres. This entire album was great. The whole thing is just diss tracks against mumble rappers and critics talking shit about Em. The last part is referring to Trump because Em did a freestyle criticizing him and apparently he was visited by the Secret Service afterward. He also compares Trump to The Thing from Fantastic Four with references to being orange and critics jumped on him about that too saying the Thing isn't orange, although I always thought he was. He actually leads into all that earlier on when referring to dividing his fan base into thirds because he basically said something back then disowning his fans who support Trump and he wishes he could have worded that differently when he was just trying to denounce how Trump manipulates his supporters. IIRC he also dropped this album out of the blue without any promotion because with his previous albums they'd promote it in advance and people would take that time to preemptively criticize it.
“Mannnn I’m catching everything out here” Misses “invite em in like a one a day” or in other words in “vitamin” like a one a day. A one a day is a vitamin
Thats wats great bout mc's like EM cuz back in day i was constantly rewinding NAS in tape deck to catch bars i missed, that shows most cant do what they do
Every time he listens to this song he will catch things that he missed before. Sometimes you have to understand the history of Em to catch the references at times. Also you would have to know pop culture and history. Even Stevie Knight and Knox Hill miss some Em bars if they don't get the historical reference. Dudes in the comment section will catch things reactors don't.
45 here.... I have known a lot of Eminem songs from back in the day. The rocker in me decided enough, when he did "Sing for the Moment". Did not even give it a chance. And outside of hearing "Not Afraid", heard nothing past that. FFWD to about 5 - 6 months ago. My random play brought in "The Way I Am". Forgot about it, but really enjoyed it. Then went back and gathered the ones I knew into a playlist. (Stan, Real Slim Shady, etc) Then it began snowballing. And I am up to 39 songs on my playlist now. For reference of that, my absolute icon of icons is Janet Jackson, and I have 50 singles of hers on that (hellufa awesome) playlist. The crazy thing about Em's playlist........most of the songs are the newest works.
In addition to everything else you have said, I will add from myself. He says that the new school needs to raise its level and learn to respect the legends who started this movement. And what kind of rap is it if everyone can do mumble, copying each other, even if there is no hearing or writing ability? So each of us can say that he is a rapper and doing sucks. At the same time, considering himself the Beethoven of rap, to say that legends such as Notorious BIG and Tupac are simply incompetent. Rap, as a subculture, loses its uniqueness and meaning, becomes a gum that everyone can buy. You can repeat after Lil Wayne at a time, but what about, for example, Big Pun, Bone Thugs and Harmony, Twista, Zach de la Rocha, Techn9ne, Eminem? Krizz Kaliko generally sings in a way that is not the same as in rap, not everyone among the singers can. This is already a talent. This is poetry and art. Eminem is talking about this. He urges them to develop themselves, not destroy themselves, while trampling into the mud those legends that gave them the way in this creative field. Btw, I'm not rapper, but for me Eminem is a G.O.A.T.
Back in the day... way back.. the coroner would put a mirror in front of the body's mouth to see if they were breathing.. that's what that bar referenced..." possibly I'm dead i can't see my breath"
All art is a history of a moment in time. You have to take in context what was happening at the moment it was created. Rap is a relatively young artform and still filled with millions of moments.
I wished this guy could understand doubles, triplets ,punchlines,metaphors ,rhyme schemes complexed ones,but all started like this and kept grinding lets goooo
He will get there. Starting with Big Daddy Kane, Rakim, Biggie, then Big L, Big Pun, Rass Kass etc will be easier. It isn't easy to just to Em and try and catch everything. You do arithmetic, geometry, algebra before astrophysics.
The bars Em's droppin in video around 7min to 7:30 where he says he might take some pills and bring back his evil self are him clapping back at everyone saying he ain't Slim Shady anymore
Also @LFR Jojo you said you like how he did on the choppy mumble flow but you didn't notice every few bars he completely changes his flow throughout the song
The reference to the colorblind people was actually directed at an interview where they were talking about his BET cypher saying it sucked because he called the thing orange in it and they said that was a reach and he was tan not orange. He was basically saying who cares what color you think he is it makes no difference to the bars
"I'm catching everything at this point. This is too easy" as he misses the bar about the Thames freezing lol. For those that don't know... the Thames river in London does not freeze.
my little brother dissed eminem and got jumped by his entire life science class and hes in 7th grade so not all teens will chose mumble rap over normal rap.
Dope reaction nothing but entertaining appreciate what you do on youtube keep up what you do love. Get a listen too fall by eminem from the Kamikaze album
The colorblind comment was about a line from one song where he called out trump as an annoying orange, and people were like "he's not orange " and shit in reviews of the song
Wayne and Em are top 2 for wordplay for me. Nobody has multiple meanings in real rap like those 2. Wayne more at his prime than now though, em still at it
10:09 "You will never see Em Icy" is meant as a shot towards to people braging with their wealth, with "icy" referencing to chains and jewelry, something he is allowed to do, being a very lyrical bar spitting machine himself, that makes getting cold on the M.I.C. as opposed to "You will never see Em icy" a clever word play, talking about not being about materialism, but rather getting cold on the Microphone, not being scared to polarize, even if the atmosphere gets cold towards him. And if you take icy literally, you get an ice rap scheme on top of that, that extents up to him freezing the atmosphere, being so polarizing. (polar-ice-ing, temps might freeze and so on) And this is only one example. Em is a bar spitting machine, with doubles beingthe material for his weaker bars. Seriously, that man is scary...
yap dude win win....thats why i said credit is for them ...U R THE KING ! NO NEED BUT I LIKE IT ....F....THEM ALLLL........STAN.....R.I.P PROOOF 😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎

Yea he's too young to know 😂 good thing you said it man

Btw, when he named Kendrick Lamar, J.Cole, Joyner Lucas and Big Sean he was naming the rappers he wouldn't diss.
I always liked the “Maybe Stan just isn’t your cup of tea” line because the beat in Stan is from the Dido song “Thank You” and the opening lyrics are “my teas gone cold”. It’s the chorus in Stan.

With this song you understand why the album is called kamikaze. Going out not giving a fuck at anyone.
People liked kamikaze, it was revival that people were mixed on and had strong opinions on, this was his response and it for sure was a 🔥 album
He did that flow but also made it lyrical to show Mumble rappers that you can make it lyrical if you want to use that flow

Krizz Kaliko generally sings in a way that is not the same as in rap, not everyone among the singers can. This is already a talent. This is poetry and art. Eminem is talking about this. He urges them to develop themselves, not destroy themselves, while trampling into the mud those legends that gave them the way in this creative field. Btw, I'm not rapper, but for me Eminem is a G.O.A.T.
You gotta hear more of the _Kamikaze_ album
You got some skull crushes now?? Those are dope
I've been rocking with em since I was 10 Slim is a legand
If you want to understand the whole last verse watch his 2018 BET cypher.
Back in the day... way back.. the coroner would put a mirror in front of the body's mouth to see if they were breathing.. that's what that bar referenced..." possibly I'm dead i can't see my breath"
Yur reaction is similar to the way u reacted on th Bee Gees Staying Alive. Love u man
you're crazy smart man
Cyphers within cyphers within cyphers, the Goat has spoken.
Nothing wrong with being a Stan bro. Em is a beast.
All art is a history of a moment in time. You have to take in context what was happening at the moment it was created. Rap is a relatively young artform and still filled with millions of moments.
He's flat out untouchable
honestly eminems a whole different genre of music
"Invite him in (vitamin) like a one-a-day" - missed that one homie!
I wished this guy could understand doubles, triplets ,punchlines,metaphors ,rhyme schemes complexed ones,but all started like this and kept grinding lets goooo
He will get there. Starting with Big Daddy Kane, Rakim, Biggie, then Big L, Big Pun, Rass Kass etc will be easier. It isn't easy to just to Em and try and catch everything. You do arithmetic, geometry, algebra before astrophysics.
The bars Em's droppin in video around 7min to 7:30 where he says he might take some pills and bring back his evil self are him clapping back at everyone saying he ain't Slim Shady anymore
Also @LFR Jojo you said you like how he did on the choppy mumble flow but you didn't notice every few bars he completely changes his flow throughout the song
Eminem- cold wind blows
Is another opener banger song for an album
At this point even 10, 11, 12, 13 year olds love em's music
The reference to the colorblind people was actually directed at an interview where they were talking about his BET cypher saying it sucked because he called the thing orange in it and they said that was a reach and he was tan not orange. He was basically saying who cares what color you think he is it makes no difference to the bars
It's funny that you mentioned the "purple drink". I think Em was sipping on a purple drink during his Westwood freestyle you reacted to.
He was definitely pilled up and in the zone on Westwood.
fannnn of yea yea rap trippen
The mirror bar is a reference to in past you would put a mirror on people mouth to verify that they were dead
Bruh, you missed the 21 savage bar at the beginning lol, "I'm a savage but I ain't talking about no bank accounts."
Jambalaya is a pretty common thing in michigan, where he grew up.
Yes, he was talking about reaction videos.
"I'm catching everything at this point. This is too easy" as he misses the bar about the Thames freezing lol. For those that don't know... the Thames river in London does not freeze.
my little brother dissed eminem and got jumped by his entire life science class and hes in 7th grade so not all teens will chose mumble rap over normal rap.
You will never see Em icy but as cold as I get on the M I C
Yo, nice reaction. Have you heard killer?
Wuts good fam
Dope reaction nothing but entertaining appreciate what you do on youtube keep up what you do love. Get a listen too fall by eminem from the Kamikaze album
The colorblind comment was about a line from one song where he called out trump as an annoying orange, and people were like "he's not orange " and shit in reviews of the song
you wouldn't have caught the last part when it came out either, because he was referencing the cypher he did awhile before still
As far as I know, Syrup and Lean and the bars about Ice are referring to specific drugs.
He said...Like an Evil Spell, then Spelled out evil. He spelled Evil after saying Evil Spell.. He is so clever
Wayne and Em are top 2 for wordplay for me. Nobody has multiple meanings in real rap like those 2. Wayne more at his prime than now though, em still at it
10:09 "You will never see Em Icy" is meant as a shot towards to people braging with their wealth, with "icy" referencing to chains and jewelry, something he is allowed to do, being a very lyrical bar spitting machine himself, that makes getting cold on the M.I.C. as opposed to "You will never see Em icy" a clever word play, talking about not being about materialism, but rather getting cold on the Microphone, not being scared to polarize, even if the atmosphere gets cold towards him. And if you take icy literally, you get an ice rap scheme on top of that, that extents up to him freezing the atmosphere, being so polarizing. (polar-ice-ing, temps might freeze and so on) And this is only one example. Em is a bar spitting machine, with doubles beingthe material for his weaker bars. Seriously, that man is scary...
yap dude win win....thats why i said credit is for them ...U R THE KING ! NO NEED BUT I LIKE IT ....F....THEM ALLLL........STAN.....R.I.P PROOOF 😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎
Em I see, M I C, Em Icy (Its a triple)
"M Icy but as cold as I get on the M.I.C" that being him not ever wearing any "Ice"
This song is to the critics who use his name to boost their career. Eminem respects a man who works for it instead of using others to get up there
