Not only one of the best verses from Em ever but one of the best hip-hop verses ever.
Proof = Without a doubt 🔥
It genuinely makes me happy to witness people appreciation of how skilled EM is with this. I have been on this path with people for 25 years.
To me, this is the best verse of Eminem. The delivery, the passion, and the technical masterpiece!
close one for me but the ending verse in Bad Guy is INSANE
He's talking about PROOF, his best friend who passed in 06
2007 bud.
To the Father Son and Holy Spirit I hold you nearest
Its a double reference to Proof and the higher power as in the Lord
My favorite thing about Eminem is how he takes schemes and makes almost everything a double or triple entendre.
Like, this song he takes allllll these religious phrases to go along with Yelawolf's message, but the whole time he's actually talking about HIS best friend Proof.
Dude is an absolute wordsmith.
I agree with you most people deny that it is about proof. But it is. It reminds me of Stevie Knight when he first started breaking Eminem verses down and now he will tell you that Eminem is the best of all time and he doesn’t really care for Eminem songs but now he’s learning to listen and he has mastered the class him and Knox Hill. And now I have found you guys on here. I am loving it. Thank you for sharing your views with us or just me. ❤
Another reason why this is so impressive is because in You’re Never Over (a song for Proof from Eminem’s Recovery) Em says:
“For you, I wanna write the sickest rhyme of my life
So sick it'll blow up the mic, It'll put the dyna in mite
Yeah it'll make the dopest MC wanna jump off a bridge and shit himself
Tap dancing all over the beat, it'll jump off the page and spit itself
Yeah it's the best thing I could do right now Doody for you is to rep”
…on this song, many critics agree this is one of his best ever verses. For Em to take that promise to Proof n achieve it - woah. Skill level off the scale.
This shit is real 🔥 leaving lyrics in other projects is so Em!!!
Song is about Proof starts out about God but from the Clint Eastwood line(Dirty Hary Proofs nickname) on he's talking in regards to sending you to heaven where Proof will deal with you. Fire reaction though 🔥
Also Iggy Pop was a rock star who was looked down on an shunned because he do crazy shit like destroy his instruments and break glass and stuff in his body durring his shows. Em's comparing himself and the crazy shit he says to the antics and showmanship of Iggy Pop imo
“I’m the truth like Biggie walkin with TuPac in a suit talking to Proof droppn a deuce” … “
“Still look to him Without a doubt” - Proof
Thanks for tapping in!! We appreciate that.
Perfectly said!
Yeah, definitely about Proof I agree with one comment even if they an Eminem hater they cannot discredit his bars and that they know they lyin Lol🌼🦋✅
Also if you listen with headphones the “arch enemy surrounds you now he’s all around you” they literally panned back and fourth left and right left and right to make Ems voice sound like he was saying it while running circles around you or surrounding you. Small shit like that makes worlds of difference
Wow. It does!
He does it in a few different songs, really cool little thing. 3rd verse of Killer he does it as well
Every Eminem hater needs to hear this breakdown. They may still hate, but no way they could discredit his skill ever again lol
We agree!!! Thank you!!
100 true the most objective breakdown EVER
Just discovered you guys today!
I 'm going through reactions... you guys are awesome! I love the way you break stuff down. How is it your numbers are not through the roof! New sub here!
This is one of his songs that they break down the bars, poetry and meaning, and syllable structure of in college literature classes
This is indeed one of Em's best verses (there are so many). The entire verse is a double as his best friend was and is Proof. And, so is the Lord. As Yelawolf's verse is directed to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. This is the reason the Lord instructs us not to judge and assures us that only He knows our hearts. Art and Faith are not mutually exclusive. Enjoyed this breakdown's recognition of Eminem's brilliance.
Wake up people, it's called talent!! He is not just throwing rhymes together, he is saying something!! But not all aren't on that level to understand him and his music!! That's why I've always listened to him because he tells a story in every song and it has meaning and yeah it rhymes because he has it good like that!! Keep it up Eminem, let them hate if they want but it's on them because they don't understand so they aren't smart enough to get it!! Come on people!! God blessed this boy, excuse me man and if you can't understand him and his music it because you SLOW!! Go ahead Eminem keep them trying to figure you out!! ❤❤❤. THE MAN IS GREAT, Give him his RESPECT, y'all ain't ever heard nothing like him because he is the one and ONLY EMINEM!! Shhhh 🤫 y'all just listen slowly so y'all will understand this talented MAN!!!
Oh 😯 at the end they SEE and KNOW!! The MAN IS GREAT!!
Portugal here for the Goat Eminem always since day one and forever but also for other legendary OG'S and good stuff. Thanks for reacting to this legendary masterpiece. Salutes and respect.
Eminem is hated for some people, cause they cannot reach and are too slow to understand and appreciate bars and bars, double, quadruple entendres, and it is not easy to do.
People use to only listen to vibe and neglete the most important thing in a rap lyrical rapper, rhyme schemes, flows, storytelling, cadence, skills.
Today people only want beats.
Eminem is my favorite and I trully believe he is the best to ever do it in the mic.
Still I cannot live without my Nas, Pac, and some others.
What he done for the game, funny, emotional, hungry, angry, controversial, he can battle rap, do cyphers, smash beefs, freestyle. You name it.
And for him to get to this level, he had to work 10 times harder than most cause he is white, a stupid thing judging this master ahead of his time, cause of skin color in 2023. Only in USA.
He is worshiped worldwide for more than 2 decades.
Trully respect for your reation.
Great breakdown with respect for the art. Now do Medicine Man or Wicked Ways!
Ah i just realized you already went over medicine man. I didn’t see it in the title. My bad!
@@RachidElGuerrab Wicked Ways is an option though. Thanks!
@@nobarsoffshow4533 tone deaf and pay close attention to the lines after he says he can rhyme orange with banana. I’ve yet to see anyone catch it
Have you done Castle & Arose?! They have to be done back to back or it won't make sense! First song listen at the end ..when it seems like its over...to the background noises or you miss it! It goes over to the second song..... You'll understand when you get towards the end of the second song! What he did with these 2 songs is an absolute masterpiece!
Almost forgot...during the chorus of 1st song .... If you listen closely you can hear him saying things and theirs little facts and details that go along with the song and Why he's doing it!
Lucky you eminem and joyner
Great breakdown!!! Would LOVE to see you guys react to Alfred's Theme, 5 minutes of pure double entendres 🔥🔥🔥
Em is a lyrical genius. You need a damn PhD in English linguistics to catch all his bars. What a banger. Wow. Nice breakdown guys 👍
Thank you family!!!
You guys are the best! Just gained another subscriber. I want to see you guys do eminem "not afraid " because that song was so mainstream and huge and I think alot of people didn't pay attention to how many bars was in that song. Would love to see you guys break that one down for real. Thanks for the great break down.
Also the entire time Em mentions his ‘best friend’ he is also referring to his friend Proof (RIP) which is more clearer in the music video as it has clear shots of his name on Em’s forearm
TOP 5 Eminem verse for sure!
You guys should do the whole eminem show
Everyone needs knowledge before they listen to this song. I thought he was talking about god when I first heard it, it wasn’t until I found out he was talking about proof (em’s best friend) that his verse truly blew my mind. The whole thing is a double. 🤯
Yeah he's definitely talking about both... God and Proof!
100% on Em having the different sounding pockets that aren’t immediately familiar. Jay was the same for me growing up. Jay has pockets where first listen it doesn’t necessarily sound on beat, until you really pay attention and see the pockets. Levels to this shit
"Turned Dhali with the Lama", could also be heard as, "Turned Ali with the Lama. Muhammad Ali with guns. Paint that picture.
Man… top 3 Em verses ever… no cap
You were killin this until you thought he meant Iggy Azalea when Iggy Pop is an outrageous crazy antics (a la Slim Shady) lead singer of rock band “The Stooges” but MJ & LeBron don’t hit every shot, the illest emcees don’t always have A+ verses, etc etc 😅😆😅.
Fans of both of you in general and was happy to stumble onto this as a passionate HipHop head since 1991 (passionate then but rap fan since late 80s as early 80s baby) who LOVES the art of rhyme & ill lyricism, & rewinding!
Glad to hear you had the great Mickey Factz on here as well, bout to peep that episode.
Eminem haters (especially on social media it’s become a trend) about as corny as Em Stan’s who truly don’t know anything about hip hop (but non objective Stans of everyone are clowns not just Em fans) and act like he can do no wrong when he clearly can (he’s in my top1-10 GOAT tier with Black Thought Nas G-Rap Pharaohe Monch Common Big Pun Big L and 10 fluctuates between amazing slept on guys like Elzhi Locksmith Royce ChinoXL MC Juice Tonedeff Diabolic Cambatta R.A. The Rugged Man MickeyFactz Percee-P Crooked Possessed of Rhyme Asylum, 96-03 Canibus, Ransom, RJ Payne, 38 Spesh, Ka, Benny, Conway, Apathy, LouisLogic AesopRock BrotherAli SaRoc Che Noir JeanGrae Rawkus era Mos Def & Kweli Phonte (he’s so dope and I want him and Elzhi to start a group…I would start groups with many of these guys as A&R 😅) etc etc.
That doesn’t include so many other ILL emcees too like Lupe Treach Rakim LL Redman Method Man KRS on and on.
The point is Top1-10 for ppl who truly know how much amazing stuff is out there is hard.
OBJECTIVELY Eminem is 1 of GOAT. It’s impossible to pick 1 (I believe same thing in basketball MJ & LeBron essentially Co GOAT and I’ve seen both 51/53x times live great seats respectively and love both even though they kept my Pacers out of 3 NBA Finals maybe 4! Both on my MountRushmore athletes), but when it comes to skills on the mic & with the pen when at his best he’s one the GOAT!
There’s a reason why 99% of the other illest ever (known legends from 80s-now, underground legends like MC Juice, to elite battle emcees) revere Em as an MC.
Go Google/youtube what Rakim, G-Rap, Kane, Pharoahe Monch, Nas, Jay-Z, Elzhi, Treach, Redman, Big Pun, Busta, Ransom, MC Juice, LL, Twista, BoneThugs, Common, Kweli, Royce, Crooked, Cambatta, Tonedeff, Ice Cube, Mickey Factz, Sha Stimuli, LouisLogic, TechN9ne, Conway, Benny, Lupe, Los, Locksmith, Black Thought, Chuck D, Missy, Cole, Kendrick, Canibus, JID, Jadakiss, Scarface, Phonte, Luda, Fab, Budden, Jean Grae, Rapsody, Sa-Roc, Cyhi, NickGrant, Andre 3000, Big Boi, K-Rino, AZ, ChinoXL and so many others have said either
“Em GOAT” (Rakim THE God MC! “If Em were black he’d be Muhammad Ali. Em is Nasty”)
“Em Top3”
“Em Top5”
“Em Top8” (Kane)
“Em Top10”
“No one has ever been iller”
“It’s like he got the whole package he got everything that dude is phenomenal.” (Kool G Rap! The Genius!)
“Can’t nobody mess with Eminem he’s in my Top3” (Busta)
“My favorite 3 emcees are KRS Biggie Eminem” (Redman!)
“My 3 favorite emcees are KRS JayZ Eminem” (B-Real)
“Eminem & Black Thought are rap computers. Their wizards!” (Chuck D)
“Lyrically Em one of the nicest”
“Me and Big Pun stood in line at line at the Feb 1999 Grammys weekend to get it at Tower records. He opened for us at Lyricist Lounge and murdered it. He was Pun’s favorite emcee. Him, black thought and then from 80s G-Rap & Kane” -Fat Joe-
Lord Finesse said Big L was a big fan of his underground from 97-98 even early 99 stuff before he passed.
Sorry I’m high as hell and a night 🦉 so my bad on the rambling.
I love talking hip hop (and other great emcees giving other great emcees live).
Sha is a slept on dope emcee himself who I have been a fan of for 22 yrs or so too!
Much respect fellas. I was impressed with this and will def peep more and share with my fellow hip hop head peeps.
PS hopefully you guys have done some bar break downs of many of the other great emcees I’ve named above (in that word vomit 😆).
Great explanation, all I will add is this....and I haven't consistently listened to most the artists you named.
But I got a feeling. Going after Em is like Jerry Stackhouse having to dunk after Vince Carter did a 360 windmill on the baseline.
Em continues to appreciate and praise Rakim, Treach, and LL every damn chance he gets.
How bout that lifetime Rock N Roll speech where he thanked everyone who influenced him alphabetically.
One can only hope Lebron has that much humility when he is introduced into the HOF.
Also when he says “been a menace to, not a preacher” he enunciates the “menace to” as ‘minister’ who are preachers.
Layers like an onion
Awsome break down. Suggesting: no favors with big Sean. One of the dopest football schemes ever
Iggy Pop is considered the Godfather of Punk. So he is spitting a meaningful bar there too.
You guys are amazing! Keep it up. Listen to you everyday since I found ya.
This is amazing!!!!
When he says “Iggy Pop of hip-hop” he isn’t referencing Iggy Azalea he’s referencing Iggy Pop who was or is a musician who was considered the ‘Godfather of Punk’
Also great breakdown, big love from New Zealand 🇳🇿✌️
Would love to see you guys breakdown Eminem last verse on *My Dads Gone Crazy* IMO this is Eminem's best verse. It's always been one of my favorites.🔥
"My songs can make you cry, take you by surprise
At the same time, can make you dry your eyes
With the same rhyme, see, what you're seein'
Is a genius at work, which to me isn't work
So it's easy to misinterpret it at first, ‘cause when I speak
It's tongue-in-cheek, I'd yank my fuckin' teeth
Before I'd ever bite my tongue, I'd slice my gums
Get struck by fuckin' lightning twice at once
And die and come back as Vanilla Ice's son
And walk around the rest of my life spit on
And kicked and hit with shit every time I sung
Like R. Kelly as soon as "Bump and Grind" comes on
More pain inside of my brain, than the eyes of a little girl
Inside of a plane aimed at the World Trade
Standin' on Ronnie's grave, screamin' at the sky
'Til clouds gather; it's Clyde Mathers and Bonnie Jade
And that's pretty much the gist of it
Parents are pissed, but the kids love it
9 millimeter heaters stashed in two-seaters with meat cleavers
I don't blame you, I wouldn't let Hailie listen to me neither
I couldn't help but match the "vomit" line to the line Em said on "Way I Am". When he was so sick and tired of being admired that he would wish he would die or get fired and dropped from his label.
One of my favorite lines on the song is that Clint Eastwood cause he called his gun the peacemaker nice one very nice on🦋🌼
Clint also played a character named preacher in the movie called pale rider . More layers !
His best friend was Proof.. He died 😑
Minister line is a double : be a minister (or be a menace to). 🤙🏽
This was amazing, thank you
Love this episode is a special one is up for there with a lot more rhyme scheme’s eminem has done through out his career fire bars syllables etc 😮. Please can with hand Gza/genius next Did he say that go listen clever and power bars also 1 ❤you guys keep the real Hiphop lyricists noticed & repping 💯 much love 🔥👊🏽 🇬🇧 Uk to USA 🇺🇸🌎🌍
Thank you family.
@@nobarsoffshow4533 keep up the good work your doing much love ❤️ Gza/genius legend of the liquid sword album luminal or fame review be dope or Lloyd banks Ft Vado plain sight 🔥💥☄️🙏🏽
that background is so dope, all that greatness, little crazy to me that there's no Eminem up there though unless he off camera, still 🔥nonetheless, but watching you guys break this song down I would love to see you guys do "Eminem - Alfreds Theme" from his last album Music To Be Murdered By. Very bar heavy song.
Yeah Em is up there but we do need to show his pic. Thank you!! We’ll check that one too.
They have the chronic on the wall Eminem wrote almost all of Dre’s verses on that album. So Eminem is essentially on the wall.
@@nobarsoffshow4533 7 months later, I know y'all got the reaction recorded, please drop it man😭🔥🔥🔥 a fan from West Africa
Just found the channel and quickly becoming my favorite right up there with Knox Hill breakdown channel!! Good Shit Gents!!!
Def Proof! I’ve watched you guys for a minute and love your breakdowns and reviews! I know you get too many suggestions, but I’ll leave this one here. If you would break down the bars in pieces (even if you play the whole song first), playing each verse then talking to it.. keeps us engaged for the next em part to hear vocally. Do what you will with it. You both are good enough to where your Em reviews should be at 100,00+. Love you guys.
Also I’d think you like Yellas verses teeing him up
Thanks fam! We appreciate the feedback for real.
I don't know if you guys take donations or not. I'll happily donate.... for you guys to break down Castle and Arose!
Knowing Em his verse is probably a double for God and Proof. R.I.P Proof
damn, your reactions and explanations are effin good. thx a lot guys!
btw, you should comment on his song "baby". its the most technically pleasing song from him imo and it's fire.
Thanks for checking us out!!!
I can see you guys are artists yourselves with all the insight and intricacies that you mention. Love this content. But why em not on the wall though.
25 to life is fire too
Yeah, the beat and all that are kinda trash, but some of the better "Oh shit..." moments from Em. It's like an M. Night Shyamalan track lol
This was very informative. Em is really gifted.
I love when you confused Iggy Pop with Iggy Azaleas 😂
RIP Proof. 💙 Em's forever the GOAT. Sending love from Florida.
You got a new fan with that 🔥 breakdown and analysis of probably one of the top 2 or 3 verses I have ever heard. Hopefully one day y’all will breakdown Caterpillar by Royce and Em. Believe it’s on Book of Ryan album. The song is fire but it’s the prose and bar heavy content that makes it stand out. Hugely underrated. Keep up the great work!!!
Wow! Thank you fam. We need to explore Book of Ryan again. Check out our Bad Meets Evil breakdown from last year.
Can you please check out Eminem’s yes this gospel verse. It’s truly amazing. And ‘Em went to a higher level on it
Sure
His first tape infinite was very gospel rap in the entendres. Made me realize something about his layers. Anybody notice this?
WRONG IGGY Guys... he was talking about James Newell Osterberg Jr., known professionally as Iggy Pop, is an American singer, musician, radio broadcaster, songwriter and actor. Called the "Godfather of Punk"
Everyone misses that bar about Clint Eastwood
Iggy Pop is known by most as one of the Godfathers of punk rock. Dude was nuts. Also Em’s verse wasn’t about God, rather it was about his best friend.
RIP Proof
There's 2 bars you misinterpreted, 1st Iggy Pop is a rock legend Who's had parallels to eminem in his life not an Iggy Azalea reference. Also his verse hes primarily referring to his best friend as proof he only uses God as a side reference And counterpoint to Yelawolf's Verse.
Great breakdown - Em was talking about Proof rather than god. Love listening to you guys. Love to hear you break down chloraseptic and discuss flow on Way I Am or Stay Wide Awake 👊
i also think the "when im counted out bar" could be a reference to counting sheep since the bar before was about sheep
Undisputed GOAT 🔥🎤🔥🎤🔥🎤🔥🎤🔥🎤
Great assessment. You all are killing it. The only things as everyone's pointed out is the proof thing. 1 other thing though. "Counted out" you count sheep in order to herd them. Also, counting sheep to go to sleep.
KEEP EM COMING
You guys seem to be new to the phenomenon that is Eminem. Eminem isn't some kind of sub-genre. He had to shock people at the outset of his career to climb past the racism he still has to deal with. It is the shock that got people over his race long enough to appreciate his talent. He's as real as it gets in Hip-Hop. Do yourself and your channel a favor and take a look at Eminem's induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame by Dr. Dre as a shortcut to his 27 year history and current relevance in Hip-Hop.
His audience is world-wide; he gives homage to OGs in nearly every song; speaks out on issues that affect the black community and injustice (Zeus, White America, MOSH, Untouchable); has released anthems and inspirational music that has helped people get through tough times for generations.
You're about to go on quite a journey.
😔Not new at all. We were new to this verse and were just speaking to a lot of the detractors that hate on him. We love Eminem and have covered him quite a few times.
Iggy Pop is that crazy rock dude who ate his own feces once, hence why Em mentions the deuce just after
Black AMERICANS may not like Em. Check other countries like Africa…
Loved the breakdown
Hey, africa is a continent, not a country.
Iggy pop is a legendary rock star, referencing himself as royalty of hiphop
Yella talking about God... Em is talking about PROOF!
Nice breakdown! One thing tho, em was referring to ”Iggy pop” an old rock legend, not iggy azalea…😅
Had to sub finally grown black men that understand it’s all about the “Bars” no one any color does it better Ijs I love Hip Hop/ Rap and Em just bends the dictionary to his will.
In that line where Em goes,
"In to a mind of a thick skin, but a short temper"
I believe what he's saying is that in his mind, he believes he ha e a thick skin that can take everything that comes his way, but in reality whenever someone says something about him, he snaps so fast that he recognizes that he have a very short temper.
That's how I took it and if that's how you laid it out, that would make more sense.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and opinions with us. Please 🙏 do a lot more of Eminem. ❤
He's talking about his best friend Proof who got killed
This whole song is a double 🤯 I know this is definetly about proof but I also believe that he's referring to God also. Em is always about the doubles and triples lol. We know he's not about organized religion but believes in God so that's how I interpret it 🙏🏼 This was a masterclass with a flawless delivery and his passion gives me chills FR!
Darkness is another song that's a double and you guys should check out 😊 Enjoyed the video 💯
Prepare for a rival/ A rifle
Psychopath killer Eminem ft. Slaughter house PLEASE
THANKYOU 🙏🏿 😂❤
It’s your boi….. boiing……. That was the best.
There's also the double layer of talking about God, and at the same time his best friend Proof.
Clint Eastwood played a preacher in movie
Minister line is a double : be a minister (or be a menace to). 🤙🏽
When I snap cuz I’m a sinner (center) football double.
His verse is about Proof
The Billy Goat be writing a tribute to Proof (his best friend who was killed).
The song is about Proof
Great reaction
No Bops On.. This show, let it be known
I really need you guys to make more em, or any lyricist you guys seem fit for content, go oldschool, Nas, Biggie, Mobb Deep, whatever you guys genuinely see as bars, Black thought for sure/roots,
The way you have a conversation while breaking down not only bars, but understand so much nuance....fucking incredible.
Thank you family!! We appreciate you checking us out. Scroll through the videos and you’ll see Big, Prodigy, Black Thought, Twista, Jay, Nas, if you have verses to recommend that are your favorite, please send them our way and thank you again!!
@@nobarsoffshow4533 Fuck man, forgive my ignorance, shoulda done my research before commenting, I will mos def check it out. Thank you guys very much.
@@Griff81946 no need to apologize. Thanks again for joining us.
Ayyye Delaware s/o! Very rare lol #Wilmington
Check out use this Gospel Eminem and Kanye. DJ Khaled released at not too long ago. You can hear Eminem reference God etc. He doesn't curse at all either
but where is he on that wall behind your backs..he should be on the top
Just seeing this now, love these vudeos and thorough breakdowns guys, Iggy Pop was a punk rock/shock rock wild man from Muskegon Michigan. Stay blessed, Also best friend is a double because Em is referring to God and Proof in Heaven. Would love to see you guys do Ems Darkness from MTBMB if you have already dont sweat it ill find it. Stay blessed 👊🏼
Selbyville Delaware here,Good Ole Sussex County lol 🔥 Reaction fellas
He's talking about Proof his best friend Proof who got killed that who he's talking about send them up to proof 🙏💙
The song is a triple. The Best Friend can be God, his gun or his best friend Proof who died many years ago.
I'm Iggy Pop when I step in the booth 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Mclovin shirt is fire
He’s talking about Proof.
I just stumbled across this show/channel. Em referenced Iggy Pop not Iggy azalea. 2 different people. When analyzing his lyrics take it literally do not reach for explanations. Love the show because when listen to music this is what I do as well.
He's talking about DeShaun...PROOF...his best friend who was killed in 06. The verse is baaar heavy.
Dope. I fuck with yall. Yall should do "medicine man" with dre and em
