TooRealForMost An “elite lyricist”, first, you do know a lyricist is anyone who writes lyrics yeah? Freddie Mercury wrote lyrics, he was a lyricist, Lady GaGa writes lyrics, she is a lyricist, Eminem writes lyrics, he is a lyricist, he is THE elite lyricist, he does things with words no other person could dream of.. Second, who do you have in mind? I can’t believe people STILL, today, think there are/were better rappers out there, you don’t have to be a massive fan (I’m not) to acknowledge that he is far better at what he does than anyone else has ever been.. Please don’t tell me you’re gonna bring up some bullshit nobodies like Rugged Man and MFDoom? That would be pretty embarrassing
Observation on the (roof) line: ROOF is also the name of a brand that sells motorcycle helmets, so it goes, over your head. Ironically, this went over your head. Wonderful analysis as always, keep up the good work!
You were referencing "Like Toy Soldiers". The line from the song was bleeped, "I went my whole career without ever mentioning _____" he origionally says "I went my whole career without ever mentioning Suge". That's what you were referring to when you said, "I thought I'd go my whole UA-cam career without mentioning Suge." Funny.
Suge is Suge Knight, the founder of Death Row Records which was the label of 2 Pac, Snoop and Dre at a time. It's censored because if he actually says Suge, then the line isn't true anymore
I had to re-upload the video and make sure I didn't include the Homicide snippet so I don't get copyright claimed. Sorry to those who thought it was a new video in their notification ;). But I also added the Nantucket explanation: 18:24
Unabashedly Reggie hey I just commented on it in the comments but in the Rick flair drop reference he said bear hug a terrier because there’s a picture of a terrier on the Rick Flair drip song when you play it on iTunes. He’s making a wrestling reference to the dog in the song pic.
"... my tragic love life..." You were referring to a Steve Burman skit on Relapse, which is actually a part 2 skit (talking about when Em shot him) from the Eminem show skit which is part 1 (when Em shot him).
Man i love how you snuck in that bar from em "you can compare me to your car cause im just barely gettin started" you effortlessly drop on point refrences in these breakdowns. And honestly im a huge hip hop fan and even tho ive heard and deciphered ems songs a hundred times you always show me what i miss and it just makes me appreciate ems genius even more and of course my hat is off to you sir because im positive this is hard work!!
He referenced harming a dog in “Marshall Mathers” as well “You might see me walkin' a dead Rottweiler dog With its head chopped off in the park with a spiked collar Hollerin' at him 'cause the son of a bitch won't quit barkin”
"I said, 'Rover' because now your rover is red" references the aforementioned "leave you shot up in your Rover", meaning there is blood all over said Rover. "...your Rover is red/ Like Red Rover" ties the previous line into the Red Rover game reference.
7:45 Hold up! Em said he "rolls over his opponents instead" not just referring to driving over his opponents but also referring to how a dog rolls over on command!
Em also shot a dog in the Parking Lot skit and laughed at it, on MMLP2 :P Edit: Probably as a reference to that line on 'Criminal', since the skit immediately follows the bank robbery skit from 'Criminal'. Would guess it's a police dog.
you might see me joggin', you might see me walkin' You might see me walkin' a dead Rottweiler dog With its head chopped off in the park with a spiked collar Hollerin' at him 'cause the son of a bitch won't quit barkin' - Marshall Mathers
I also felt as though "ya'll couldn't hold a candle at a prayer vigil when i vent..." was a clever word play lead into the next verse...literally saying when he vents it blows out their candles, figuratively saying that other rappers can't compare to him (can't hold a candle) when he spits his rhymes (venting)
Hey you missed a big one. On the “bear hug a terrier” he said that because in the rick flair drip song when you play it on iTunes there’s a picture of a terrier.
There’s a football reference you missed in there. “Beast mode, motherfuckers bout to get hit” Beast mode referring to marshawn lynch formerly of the Seattle Seahawks. That was his nickname and he was known for hitting people hard even though he was a offensive player. Just subtle but Em makes his lines count. He had the baseball scheme and then he throws a quick football and basketball lines. Thanks for the upload Reggie.
When he talks about bear hugging I feel it was about bear hugging the hair trigger from previous line. Saying that it doesn’t take make pressure to fire but he’s using a lot of force on it like you do with a bear hug.
Another point i would like to bring up is the rover line.... notice em said that he'd "roll over" his opponents.... That combined with rover (which is a type of dog) allowed him to sneak in the "roof"(woof) sounds and then finally redirecting the meaning the roof metaphor
Thanks for the great breakdown. Bless your channel! It's sad though that you've skipped the Logic lyrics( I think he did a great job in this sond as well.
On Insane he says "Fuck a little puppy, kick the puppy while he's yelping" which was very random feeling even for that song, almost as if em just needed to get a "fuck dogs" line out there cos its been a while
"You might see me joggin', you might see me walkin'. You might see me walkin' a dead Rottweiler dog with his head chopped off in the park, with spiked collar. Hollarin' at 'im cus the sonofabitch won't quit barkin'."
I didn't realize how genius those last lines were and why he cut it short until you broke it down. It's like he knows that he's starting to ramble (thus the rhyme scheme getting choppy) and that's why he stops himself and the Chris D'elia audio plays.
dog reference on the song Marshall Mathers, theres probably more. I've enjoyed Em's music since I got the SSLP & I would say MMLP is his best album but I think I prefer Em as an artist since the Chloraseptic remix song.
Some much word play around the word rover in this song. Rover is also a term for an extra fielder in softball so it's harder to hit the ball up the middle of the field. Then he goes into the line about making dog sounds and rover Is generic name for a dog.
Idk if you said this or not but “rover” in baseball is an unmarked position behind second base, you could “unload” your swing and get a hit in the rover position, but there is a term in baseball called rolling over, which is when you swing you roll over your wrists, if it’s an outside pitch you can roll over and hit it up the middle or at the rover position.
Unabashedly Reggie true rover is more of a slow pitch softball position, but it’s still technically unmarked in baseball and people will “play that position” if a team shifts for a lefty, just thought I’d add on to what you already said.
Hey, Reggie! Call your videos BREAKDOWN!ANALYSIS!REACTION! I know the order doesn't make as much sense but you can use the acronym B.A.R. then and I think that sounds dope
The reference at the 12th minute is from Paul Rosenberg after Eminem brought a double album out after his drug problem. I'm a real Stan now! I only didn't name my daughter Bonnie like the real Stan, but named my son Marshall.
Yo Reggie, he also mentioned hurting a dog in the 3rd verse of "Insane" where he said "Fuck a little puppy, kick the puppy while he's yelping" You knowledge of Em is whats really insane tho!! Would be sweet to talk to you face to face about his music.
Em needs to hire you to do this for him officially for all these stupid speds, that are to dumbed down but today's mumble rap to understand lyrics or complex rhyming
You did miss the verse: "I don't have to say a fuckin' thing though cuz' MCs know" which is actually a double entendre with the phrase "EM sees no" being hidden stating that both MC's know he is the best and that he himself does not see any contenders, absolutely genius word play 👏!
‘Bout to to bear hug a terrier” he’s saying he’s crazy, because it would be thought to be crazy to bear hug a staffordshire terrier, a pit bull. It wasn’t just a throw away line.
Yoh Reggie , Eminem starts his verse with "jiga jiga jiga" , in South Africa "jig" is a product used for "washing" clothes. Just a comment I wanted to leave since it fits.
Every lyric breakdown of Em's verse and the "slump's over" part doesn't mention that he also literally means A-Rod slumps over (to get another injection of PEDs when he needs a re-up) as he just homered again after his month lull. That's his typical celebrity jab he usually has in his verses. Is it just me?
How about on the same album as criminal. Marshal mathers. Walking a dead rotwieler dog with its head chopped off hollering at him because the son of a bitch won't quit barking. If he yells at the corpse, the fuck did he do to the breathing creature? Speculation but 2000 em would want us to think he did it with a can full of gas and a hand full of matches.
Again, what I learnt from your breakdowns is that Eminem is a genius
Yeah, you really see why hes the GOAT when you analyze his music
@@lukakaps9548 True, it blows my mind
Also when he says "I wipe my ass with six mill" he's reffering at the toilet paper which is 6 millimeters thick
He will look mediocre compared to an elite lyricist
TooRealForMost An “elite lyricist”, first, you do know a lyricist is anyone who writes lyrics yeah? Freddie Mercury wrote lyrics, he was a lyricist, Lady GaGa writes lyrics, she is a lyricist, Eminem writes lyrics, he is a lyricist, he is THE elite lyricist, he does things with words no other person could dream of..

Observation on the (roof) line: ROOF is also the name of a brand that sells motorcycle helmets, so it goes, over your head. Ironically, this went over your head.
Wonderful analysis as always, keep up the good work!
Also not to mention he refers to speds.... people that wear helmets!
Also a throwback to proofs verse on when the music stops. Give it a listen
He had copyright issues with the original song, that's why re-upload and different background music.
You were referencing "Like Toy Soldiers".
The line from the song was bleeped, "I went my whole career without ever mentioning _____" he origionally says "I went my whole career without ever mentioning Suge".
That's what you were referring to when you said, "I thought I'd go my whole UA-cam career without mentioning Suge." Funny.
Why was it censored and who is Suge?
Suge is Suge Knight, the founder of Death Row Records which was the label of 2 Pac, Snoop and Dre at a time.
It's censored because if he actually says Suge, then the line isn't true anymore
@@UnabashedlyReggie yup. So dope. I love catching the Easter Eggs in songs. Em's the greatest.
I had to re-upload the video and make sure I didn't include the Homicide snippet so I don't get copyright claimed. Sorry to those who thought it was a new video in their notification ;). But I also added the Nantucket explanation: 18:24
UA-cam has lost its mind. People like you shouldn't have trouble doing what your doing like that.
Unabashedly Reggie hey I just commented on it in the comments but in the Rick flair drop reference he said bear hug a terrier because there’s a picture of a terrier on the Rick Flair drip song when you play it on iTunes. He’s making a wrestling reference to the dog in the song pic.
Sped is also the past tense for speed. So by putting slow and sped at the same line shows their contrasts.
Perfect juxtaposition
It seems that you got hit by a copyright strike. No worries I’ll watch it again
I added a timecode to the part that's different ;)
Love youre random references to others of ems songs
🙏
"... my tragic love life..." You were referring to a Steve Burman skit on Relapse, which is actually a part 2 skit (talking about when Em shot him) from the Eminem show skit which is part 1 (when Em shot him).
People really need to read video description before commenting. That Nantucket verse breakdown are lit btw.
Thanks!
Man i love how you snuck in that bar from em "you can compare me to your car cause im just barely gettin started" you effortlessly drop on point refrences in these breakdowns. And honestly im a huge hip hop fan and even tho ive heard and deciphered ems songs a hundred times you always show me what i miss and it just makes me appreciate ems genius even more and of course my hat is off to you sir because im positive this is hard work!!
Your breakdowns are amazing, always enjoy watching them, keep up the great work!
The best Shady/ Eminem verse breakdown analyst on UA-cam. =) Reggie is The Man
He referenced harming a dog in “Marshall Mathers” as well “You might see me walkin' a dead Rottweiler dog
With its head chopped off in the park with a spiked collar
Hollerin' at him 'cause the son of a bitch won't quit barkin”
"I said, 'Rover' because now your rover is red" references the aforementioned "leave you shot up in your Rover", meaning there is blood all over said Rover.
"...your Rover is red/ Like Red Rover" ties the previous line into the Red Rover game reference.
Rover is also a position played in baseball, which ties in to A Rod line,
There is also the connection of "foul lines" or "faul" like a bird. And then "eat crow"
mazemir1 i noticed this too, nobody seems to catch it
Have you done " Right for me" yet? It's lyrically insane, even for EM.
7:45 Hold up! Em said he "rolls over his opponents instead" not just referring to driving over his opponents but also referring to how a dog rolls over on command!
Em also shot a dog in the Parking Lot skit and laughed at it, on MMLP2 :P
Edit: Probably as a reference to that line on 'Criminal', since the skit immediately follows the bank robbery skit from 'Criminal'. Would guess it's a police dog.
First time here..... by minute 5, i had to subscribe. sick breakdown
The air vent and bareknuckle is a Diehard reference, and dracula wakes up with a thud when the coffin upens.
I disagree completely. Thought his Homicide verse was one of the best ive heard from him in recent years.
I think he means his lyrical content. His rhyme scheme was good
You didn't like anything on Kamikaze?
love the reference to king mathers album at the end with "thanks, it's been real"
thanks for coming through. Keep doing it
I still think he could be talking about a Nantucket tool bag because they’re also called Nantucket diddy bags. It would be full of hammers and crap
Could be! Do you have a link?
Hey did anyone catch all the animal references in the verse? Foul. Crow. Dog. Goat. Beast. Wolf. Bear. Etc?
frank mccullagh platypus goat sheep
you might see me joggin', you might see me walkin'
You might see me walkin' a dead Rottweiler dog
With its head chopped off in the park with a spiked collar
Hollerin' at him 'cause the son of a bitch won't quit barkin' - Marshall Mathers
I thought this was chris dleeeeew
Wow!!! What a break down. 🔥🔥🔥Was waiting for a long time for a new breakdown. You did it again Reggie! Keep it up.
You are a legend. Very underrated and your analysis is so detailed
I also felt as though "ya'll couldn't hold a candle at a prayer vigil when i vent..." was a clever word play lead into the next verse...literally saying when he vents it blows out their candles, figuratively saying that other rappers can't compare to him (can't hold a candle) when he spits his rhymes (venting)
Another brilliant breakdown well done Reggie! I gotta sau you deserve way more subs. Much love from Ireland!!!
Thank you! Please share :)
I feel like I'm attending a chemistry class whenever I watch breakdowns of Eminem lyrics 😂. God, So many layers.
Another note about the "foul lines" bars. "foul" is also a homophone for "fowl" meaning bird. He then says "eat crow" throwing back to "fowl lines"
This is what we need man.. the breakdowns of eminems songs
Hey you missed a big one. On the “bear hug a terrier” he said that because in the rick flair drip song when you play it on iTunes there’s a picture of a terrier.
A red “Rover” also refers to a dog he drove over. I’m surprised you missed this one.
CANNOT EXPRESS HOW HAPPY YOUR VIDEOS MAKE ME
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
There’s a football reference you missed in there.
“Beast mode, motherfuckers bout to get hit”
Beast mode referring to marshawn lynch formerly of the Seattle Seahawks. That was his nickname and he was known for hitting people hard even though he was a offensive player.
Just subtle but Em makes his lines count. He had the baseball scheme and then he throws a quick football and basketball lines.
Thanks for the upload Reggie.
Guys don’t worry
*we’re never gonna be able to break down Eminem’s verse*
8:00 like toy soldiers reference
Your references make feel like I'm actually good at something.
That tricky one was Paul Rosenberg on an album skit
Sorry, not the Rosenberg skit!
I understood so many of the lines but you slowing it down helps even more
When he talks about bear hugging I feel it was about bear hugging the hair trigger from previous line. Saying that it doesn’t take make pressure to fire but he’s using a lot of force on it like you do with a bear hug.
I’m a true Stan that is the relapse Steve Bergman skit
Another point i would like to bring up is the rover line.... notice em said that he'd "roll over" his opponents.... That combined with rover (which is a type of dog) allowed him to sneak in the "roof"(woof) sounds and then finally redirecting the meaning the roof metaphor
Also "roll over" is a dog command
best channel on rap breaksdowns…..keep it up....
Thanks for the great breakdown. Bless your channel! It's sad though that you've skipped the Logic lyrics( I think he did a great job in this sond as well.
On Insane he says "Fuck a little puppy, kick the puppy while he's yelping" which was very random feeling even for that song, almost as if em just needed to get a "fuck dogs" line out there cos its been a while
Breakdown “Bad Guy” Reggie...you said “Stan” is your all time favorite i would like to hear your opinion on “Bad Guy”
Honestly I prefer Bad Guy... Eminems last verse on that gives me CHILLS still to this day and I've heard it well over 100 times
Thank you so much for explain what a nantucket was lol. You absolute hero👊
"You might see me joggin', you might see me walkin'.
You might see me walkin' a dead Rottweiler dog with
his head chopped off in the park, with spiked collar.
Hollarin' at 'im cus the sonofabitch won't quit barkin'."
Good job on the breakdown
15:50
“Dog’s cut neck with a spiked collar”
Marshall Mathers
The same song u gave reference to in the right next line
😂😂
i would like to think the dog sounds are an omage to proof, on doe ra me proof makes dog/wolf sounds (sorry if i got the name of the song wrong).
I didn't realize how genius those last lines were and why he cut it short until you broke it down. It's like he knows that he's starting to ramble (thus the rhyme scheme getting choppy) and that's why he stops himself and the Chris D'elia audio plays.
Hahah i love that intro! Way to shout yourself out bro from that line off till i collapse that made me laugh and smile great start to this one!
12:28 it's from the Steve Berman skit from Eminem's Relapse Album
mac hopewell yep
Also Em references a dog on the Parking Lot skit on MMLP2. He finally blasts the puppy he threatened to kill on Criminal 13 years later.
I hope em gets to see this man!
Em also references harming a dog in insane from the relapse album 2:14 into the song 👍
Yo keep doing what you doing your channel is growing and I love it, just subscribed and I’m sharing your channel to all of my friends
Thanks for sharing!
dog reference on the song Marshall Mathers, theres probably more. I've enjoyed Em's music since I got the SSLP & I would say MMLP is his best album but I think I prefer Em as an artist since the Chloraseptic remix song.

That relapse skit quote ! 😂

I might steal that ;)
My theory about Nantucket got deleted with the old video :(
My theory about Nantucket is so much cooler than reality :D
The video still exist, just unlisted:
ua-cam.com/video/WxpdvG47O3A/v-deo.html
Feel free to post it again ;)
The reference at the 12th minute is from Paul Rosenberg after Eminem brought a double album out after his drug problem.
I'm a real Stan now! I only didn't name my daughter Bonnie like the real Stan, but named my son Marshall.
It's from the Steve Berman skit ;)
this is my favourite song rn
Yo Reggie, he also mentioned hurting a dog in the 3rd verse of "Insane" where he said "Fuck a little puppy, kick the puppy while he's yelping"
You knowledge of Em is whats really insane tho!! Would be sweet to talk to you face to face about his music.
I wip my ass with 6mill is also a reference to a 6mm gun bullet ie the shots Eminem fires
With Eminem’s verse on “bang” I think he was talking about the rapper cannabis here.
Em needs to hire you to do this for him officially for all these stupid speds, that are to dumbed down but today's mumble rap to understand lyrics or complex rhyming
That foul line free throw bar is so good tho
You did miss the verse: "I don't have to say a fuckin' thing though cuz' MCs know" which is actually a double entendre with the phrase "EM sees no" being hidden stating that both MC's know he is the best and that he himself does not see any contenders, absolutely genius word play 👏!
great stuff man keep it up, thanks for the content
Thanks for watching ;)
"All that's left of her puppy is a leash and paw" keeping it raw freestyle
Bro, it's been a minute since you've dropped a video. Great quality content as usual
Thanks!
I've mentioned it at the end of the video. But I thought it was July 12th
"beast mode" aka marshawn lynch, one of the hardest hitters to play football. Em is going beast mode and hitting like marshawn lynch.
Anyone else want a lyric breakdown of Busta Rhymes calm down ft em?
‘Bout to to bear hug a terrier” he’s saying he’s crazy, because it would be thought to be crazy to bear hug a staffordshire terrier, a pit bull. It wasn’t just a throw away line.
12:13 Steve Berman skit from Relapse if I remember correctly
11:28 Man threw a demonic subliminal 😭😭
Anything that follows till i collapse is fucking god tier to me so
In Insane, Em said “Fuck a little puppy, kick the puppy while he’s yelping” you’re welcome
Reggie, SEUS VÍDEOS SÃO FANTÁSTICOS CARA! DEMAIS! Abraço do Brasil
the video actually brought the song to life, was better with visuals added
I’m gone bitch reference ? 11:50
Em also talked about his dog in Marshal Mathers (You see me walking with a Rottweiler with hsi head chopped off....)
He mentions a dog in Marshal Mathers “You might see me walking a dead waltwilder dog with his head chopped off”
know hitters like yankees (blue) talking about the line from one of jay's songs about knowing crips
@8:01 is a reference to his line in Toy Soldiers
thank you man
Yoh Reggie , Eminem starts his verse with "jiga jiga jiga" , in South Africa "jig" is a product used for "washing" clothes. Just a comment I wanted to leave since it fits.
Interesting, but I doubt Eminem knew that lol
Every lyric breakdown of Em's verse and the "slump's over" part doesn't mention that he also literally means A-Rod slumps over (to get another injection of PEDs when he needs a re-up) as he just homered again after his month lull. That's his typical celebrity jab he usually has in his verses. Is it just me?
Just you 😅
This dude Eminem managed to turn -2 minutes of rapping into a 20 minute break down , what a god
Breakdown ''Eminem - Love the way you Lie''......One of Em's diamond single....
You the best
How about on the same album as criminal. Marshal mathers. Walking a dead rotwieler dog with its head chopped off hollering at him because the son of a bitch won't quit barking. If he yells at the corpse, the fuck did he do to the breathing creature? Speculation but 2000 em would want us to think he did it with a can full of gas and a hand full of matches.
