    Dude, you have no idea how intelligent you are. I notice with every "rapper reactor" or reactor in general, there are slight cuts in the videos. But your videos have barely a single cut, and you fluently break it down on the spot. No wonder your songs are extremely witty as well. Eminem without a doubt goes through a plethora of rappers and no doubt he's probably seen one of your videos. Perhaps send a message out to Paul and see if he'll grace you with a feature? No doubt Em supports "youtube" rappers whose love for the culture are genuine. Because CLEARLY you studied your hip-hop history. Glad you've found your life calling and wish nothing but the best for you and everyone else grinding hard.

      Snoop wasnt that lyrical... he was "catchy" ... that spawned the G funk era... etc. He was never really super lyrical tho he had a few good lines , he was more the story teller, Murder was The Case, etc.
      Consider this... the whole G funk vibe came to a screeching halt when Em signed. He unintentionally ended Snoops run.

    I don't buy the *"he's successful because he's white"* argument. Hip hop had a ton of white rappers before Eminem, and they didnt blow like he did. the reasons why he became successful can be summed up as follows:
    1. He's a lyricist (name 1 white lyricist in the 90s? and Vannila Ice doesnt count).
    2. Shock value. *_"people say that I'm a bad influence, I say the world's already fuq'ed, I'm just adding to it. They say I'm suicidal, teenages' newest idol"_* - bad influence 1999.
    3. A Dr. Dre cosign. Fat joe didnt sign Em because he was a white dude, but dre gave the guy a shot. And at that time. Dre's career wasnt good. The track he did with LL in '97 was a massive flop also lost everything to Death Row. You can say, they needed eachother.
    Eminem said it himself back in 1999.
    *"Some people see that im White, Ignorin the skills"* (Role Models).
    To further solidify that Eminem is good regardless of his skin, he out bar'd JayZ back in 2001.
    Shoutout from South Africa, dude. Love your breakdowns.

      I have to add one thing that makes this guy different in terms of barology though, he also talks about how the rapper or lyricist works with the beat. Many rap breakdown channels just focus on the words, not the style or structure or switches. Fair enough, only a handful of lyricists even change their style in a single verse.
      Eminem throws cargo pants every verse, just pockets on pockets everywhere and ready for travel.

    His line "keep those monsters in the closet" I think is actually a reference to two of his songs which was Monster which you named but also his song Cleaning out my closet

    In the middle of your video u talked about Em showing that lyrical rap can still be a vibe. The perfect example for this is in my opinion his new song Killer on the album. Very modern sounding beat and his flows just fit perfect to this. Even more modern and vibey than Zeus.

    When Em went to Snoop my heart broke. I thought this was the beginning of what could have been the most destructive battles in hip-hop. I saw the writing on the wall with these two going after each other.
    Thank the all mighty it did not come to pass. They took it to a person on person level and squashed it.
    Follow that with an OUTSTANDING Superbowl performance, and then D to the LBC. Icons as always.

    "The bird's eye view" is also because Zeus used to transform into bird to come down to earth. If y'all fan of cartoon or animes you can watch Blood of Zeus on Netflix and enjoy it ( it's just 8 episodes I think) you'll got all the references. Even the" I had God backwards" when some of the gods turn their back on Zeus in the cartoon is lowkey here

    I love how you breakdown every bar. There are quite a few reaction channels that are either not brave to do it or the bars go right over their head. I love that you're breakdowns always go over 30 mins. I'm so here for it!
