D4 The kidcf there’s some of us young ones that catch it. Mainly cause my brother made me listen to Eminem as a 6 yo and I’ve always kept up with him. 23 now and man I love Eminem
I have listen to this song so many times now and I'm so surprised how much i missed the first time. The depth and doubles are insane. Truly a masterpiece with a strong message
D4 The kidcf lol he rapped it slow so you can understand it better, but even then I’m sure you did not get it. It was an amazing song, but it wasn’t that hard to get. That makes me dumb? I understood it the first time. 🤔, but I’m dumb.
The dads are always solid and know bars. Love their channel. But I got a feeling someone tipped it here. Someone ruined the real surprise for them on a request is my guess.
I don’t think they knew before. I just think that they understood faster because they stopped a lot the video during the breakdown while others are just listening without many stops
The issue with Eminem is that he's so masterful and on a different level that anyone that idolizes him is a "stan". Honestly, he truly is the GOAT, one of the greatest minds of our time. It's nearly impossible not to respect/like him.
CrackaZack510 yup, got shot in my legs. Doing really good now but that was a rough first 6 months. Using that tragedy to try to save lives. Stop The Bleed, that’s how my life was saved, now I’m an ambassador and spokesperson, bringing training and tourniquets to schools across the country. We don’t need anymore dying. ❤️
@@laceynewman5452 that's rough...but shout out to you and your mission Lacey, Stop The Bleed, that's whatsup! Shit I had nightmares for weeks after surviving a house fire... I can't even imagine how hard it was for you to relax, go to sleep, be in a crowd...anything after something like that. Kinda puts a different perspective on life right...much respect!
“ITS A FUCKIN DOUBLE!” 😂😂 Seriously, this track is quite possibly Em’s best lyricism we’ve seen. He is phenomenal with wordplay, but to the extent that almost 3 verses are completely double entendres... that’s god-tier lyricism. This was a backwards engineered piece of musical art that will embed Em into the greatest musicians of all time. He is our lifetime’s Beethoven, Bach, Louis Armstrong, Beatles. His name will be mentioned for hundreds of years, without a doubt.
I've heard every song he's ever put out. This is THE BEST song ever written by him, or possibly anyone EVER. call me what you like, if you don't see that, you didn't understand this song....it's amazing. This isn't even an opinion, this is straight factual.
This is why Royce did that interview with Sway and said I wish he would leave Marshall alone so my man doesn't get distracted lol. He was working on this album he had bigger fish to fry.
@@8LyJu8 you can't learn that. I'm sorry but the amount of detail it's out of a thriller best selling book. You can't learn that AT ALL. You can't. You have it and use it to make this or you don't have it.
"That makes Nick look like even more of an asshole". I actually started laughing out loud. This is a great point I hadnt thought of. Nick is out there calling Em racist and throwing shitty songs out... then Em comes out with this. If the disparity of talent between these two wasnt clear enough before... it should be now.
I’ve been listening to Eminem’s music for over 20 years now and what impressed me is that he can still put out masterpieces that impress the hell outta me. This man is something else. Idk what but he’s not human! Man...what a time to be alive!!
man every song aint got to have a hard beat. go listen to godzilla for that. he wrote an album, he had to diversify his type of beats and melodies. i find this one very smooth, witch is paradoxal compar to the story hes tellin.
some people are pissed because they think "Em is trying to take our guns, he's an SJW".. =/ like no, he wants literal change, that's why he put that link at the end and a site to where you can get help and information about mental illnesses etc.He doesn't want to take people's guns, he wants to provide education, and give people a chance to vote and change things legally
@@CrazeeAdam Social Justice, WTF does anything about that sound wrong? Gun nuts (not all gun owners) get triggered and instead of fixing a broken system...dont take my guns! It's lame and those ppl I am concerned with.
You know... as corny as it might sound, his music got ME out of the darkness, so i'll stand next to him supporting his music and art all the way. People please, before being butthurt because he made paralels or mentioned a name, LISTEN to the lyrics, TRY and understand them like these two fine folks right here. The message goes beyond the metaphors and its REAL. Keep up the good work ScriptWork, you two are awesome.
It's not corny at all. Music has been pulling people out of the darkness since it's creation. I think the human race would have ended up extinct long ago if not for music. That's just my opinion. Keep listening to that music that keeps you in the light my friend.
people are evil they cant feel someone's pain they only have one thing on the brain that money and hurt people give them more pain I feel exactly the same and its also happening with me and its hurting to see what people do l wish I could do something wish GOD can do something to stop the devil and open there eyes amen
@@aprilblair8080 why would it be corny? With respect to all other legends I am well aware of. I put EM and DMX at the top because of the stuff they helped me go thru
Facts. The way he spins the story right at that moment with the scope, that's just crazy. Everything is at least a double, up to the TVs shape at the end. That's crazy. Plus many messages in it. Including that under certain circumstances even one like Em could end up in that situation, but he fortunately found a way to vent, and was mentally strong enough to overcome certain issues.
Literally got tears flowing and snot dripping and I’m not even American but I feel the frustration, sadness and anger like all of you do that so many innocents are needlessly losing their life to politics and a culture that sells them dreams but gives them death. Much love from Australia to all my American brothers and sisters.
I’ve watched a bunch of reactions to this son and none of them did it like y’all . Nobody caught the message like y’all . Caught every lily toe point and the whole song in general. Props
Totally, I used to live in Vegas and had some friends at the show with their kids. One is a cop and her husband is a fireman, they got their kids behind solid cover and then rushed back in to do whatever they could to save people. I can’t imagine how horrifying it was for the audience that was just there to have a good night. This song and the video hit me like a Mac truck. It reminds me of Immortal Technique’s Dance with the Devil, but this song feels so much deeper.
@@syyneater I have a cousin who lives in Vegas and she likes country I heard about the shooting it scared me so bad that I was shaking when I called her to make sure she was ok
Blake Patterson The wife and I were doing the exact same thing. We moved away in 2015, but grew up there and were desperately trying to get a hold of family and friends. Hopefully your cousin is/was okay.
Literally been watching reaction-videos to eminems new songs for 3 days now and you're the only channel getting the entire double-entendre so quickly by analyzing the lyrics in the beginning combined with the video. Amazing to see! Got yourself a new subscriber :)
I'd just like to point something out. He's known for fast raps and some people claim he has no content. He's practically talking in this one and has a powerful message with the entire song being a double. This is as artistic and powerful as Stan.
Finger on the trigger, but I'm a licensed owner With no prior convictions, so loss, the sky's the limit So my supplies infinite, strapped like I'm a soldier
ArtifiShuL Instinct I don’t know if they were all legal or illegal but I do know the rifles were converted illegally to automatic rifles with 30+ round mags. You can’t buy machine gun style weapons legally. So, people taking about background checks - that wouldn’t have mattered here. I say let’s focus on illegal weapons first because drug dealers, gangs, etc. don’t mess with background checks. It’s lazy on the part of government to say let’s take the registered guns because we know where those are, but do nothing about illegal weapons. The Texas church shooter was a felon and he stole his shot gun. His was mentally ill, couldn’t pass the background check and he still got a gun.
Your Online Mom and here’s the problem that Americans just wont face. No gun equals no shooting. Even when it comes to hunting it becomes a lot harder to commit a mass shooting if all you have access to is a hunting rifle with a small clip or a cross bow. Now there will always be the an issue that someone unstable cause death with these none weapons of war. But hopefully one day democracy and world peace will win out and there will be no need for guns on the planet at all.
I woke up in the morning and seen Em dropped an album and I was, yeah, I'll reschedule my work to the evening. I have very understanding boss when it comes to good music (I'm my own boss).
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve rewatched this and I’m still amazed you got it in 45 seconds. In less than a minute you got what the song was about. Incredible. Someone should give you all licenses for your interpretation skills.
the line "Commando with extra clips, I got ammo for all the hecklers I'm armed to the teeth" also refers to the weapon company "Heckler & koch" which is a german weapon manufacturer. so he has ammo for all his hecklers (heckler & koch weapons). Insane lyrics in this song. Nothing but art.
Eminem is one of the greatest poets ever man.. I live in Vegas and it still lingers in the air everyday.. that Sound of Silence sample is so cold too.. especially the bridge in the last verse where the shooter lost it...I really appreciate Em doing this. Sometimes imagery can be the necessary tool to open your eyes...RIP to everyone who lost their lives that night.. Things just have to change man...
You forgot the fact that when looking at the tv’s talking about how they trying to control Em like he is a gun, the media straight up blamed Em for Columbine School Shooting saying his music needs to be controlled. Double entendres.
I love watching you guys. You stop to breakdown everything, catch things that no one else can. But then after doing all of that, ya'll still got a heart and care. It's amazing to see people I respect so highly actually care. NOW FOR THAT MOM AND DAD SQUAD HUG!
Santa Fe, Texas is where my family and I went to school. Luckily I'd been long graduated, but my youngest cousin & sister got caught in the crossfire of the shooter and my cousin actually got tagged in the arm, and they knew all the kids that died personally. They took classes with him and were their friends, he watched his friends get shot and killed as they were pinned in the art classroom supply closet barricaded as he shot through the door. The Santa Fe shooter, Dimitrios Pagourtzis, was on the football team with my cousin. He said he was just awkward and quiet and never spoke out or seemed aggressive. Then one day, the shooting just happened. My mother-in-law lived down the street from the High School and was just pulling kids into her house as they ran for their lives from the school. It was a shocking event for my small town and it was a wake up call for many. Em may be getting a lot of backlash from this song, but I have unfathomable amounts of respect for him using his platform like this. He truly feels like he has an obligation to us, when in all reality he doesn't. I had to calm many people down in my town that were interpreting the song in the wrong way, or hearing it as if the shootings were justified. Obviously not. Have patience with the people who don't understand and explain the masterpiece of a story that this is to them. This song still gives me goosebumps. We don't deserve Eminem.
Eminem and Royce did a song awhile back. The song is called "Vegas" and near the end of the song one of the lines Royce said was "the only fear I have is of loathing, and that won't even kick in until we get to Las Vegas." I knew at the time that for sure was Royce making a reference to the Movie
I follow many others, nolifeshaq, layedback, etc.. I like them all in their own ways but y'all are the best bar dissectors and you consistently catch things others don't. Mad respect to you guys and I hope y'all stick around for the long haul because I will watch and like every time. Also, when you kick the screen it 💀 me every time. Best shit ever 😂
This song is absolutely incredible. Loved it from the first time I heard it. It definitely touches on something that’s controversial. As someone who has A. Served in the Marines and has a combat tour and also lived in several states. Some where gun laws are the most strict and some where they are the most lenient I know this isn’t a black and white discussion. It’s a lot of grey area. Crazy/evil men shouldn’t have guns, but at the same time, good men/women should be able to have guns. Making guns illegal won’t stop criminals from owning them, we see that in New Jersey, LA, philly, Chicago etc. and we don’t wanna take away guns from good people while criminals still have them. BUT, at the same time we need to prevent crazy people with clean records from having guns. The problem is no one wants to compromise. The left doesn’t wanna don’t guns can be used for good and the right doesn’t want to admit that it’s too easy to get guns. Both can be true. There’s people like the vegas shooter who can hurt so many with a gun but there is also men like Steven Williford from Sutherland springs who stopped a mass shooter with his personal AR-15 when he heard gun shots coming from a church and ran there barefoot and then chased and killed the active shooter before he could go to the next 5 churches he had planned to shoot up. I wish people would hear this song and think about it. It’s better to come together and discuss this issue and find a way where everyone wins rather than having too much pride and trying to just win for yourself.
If anyone ever doubted Eminem's genius, this track is evidence of it; absolute masterful execution of his craft. It gave me chills and just fills me anguish.
Damn I can’t believe I just found your channel, best believe this is the first one I’m going to for now on. Thanks for the work you bring, you two are great- the doubles part had me weak haha cause yup. Here we go again, friends. All nighters coming up! Blessed!
GOAT reactions, ya'll always bring the perspectives and great breakdowns, I was just as excited for a surpise album from Em as I was knowing you two would be on this. Much love.
Yeah. He was doing the parallel with drugs and his career between killing himself and all these people mass shootings. They got it, i think. But, they missed that touch.
Yuh. You can see it from a few different places. His own demons. His own drug use. Mass shootings. His own celebrity/career taking a dive when he went a different way the last 2 albums. Survivors vs himself surviving. Several levels.
This song hits ya in a whole different type of way. Just like at the end says. “When will this end? When enough people care” this song has so much meaning and is such a powerful song and unfortunately he is getting backlash for it. #huglife #godbless #stoptheviolence #heisourvoice!
You guys got that it was about The Vegas shooter and a double ententre Waaaaay before others I've watched. Him whispering that behind some verses Made this amazing! And that piano in the back!! Y'all the best!!!!
I wish I could extra like this...it was easily the best reaction I've seen so far to this video (and the only one I've bothered to comment on). Amazing analysis and awesome final comments.
Great reference to “The art of storytelling” OutKast flashback lol Seriously how do you make a whole song a double and be so clear on 2 fronts if he ain’t the GOAT then there is no one that is!!! Storytelling Metaphors Content Relevance How it resonates with u Rhyme Scheme If the hood ain’t listening perhaps they should! I swear I’m only 1/5 in and it’s enough I’m riding with Em and y’all I call shotgun!!! And yeah Nick is such an ass now even more than ever and I didn’t think it was possible.
The hood is not defining the skills and the relevance of an artist. Even NWA's major audience were white dudes. If hoods fuckin with mumble rap does it make mumble rap decent?
Eminem is a master at making people see the bigger picture. He paints it out perfectly.. another thing. You see UA-cam shut this out. It's not trending. Food for thought. You can't shut EM up!!!
"It's a f*ckin double!" THE BEST REACTORS ON UA-cam. You INSTANTLY got the point he was making!!! Slim Shady is a persona... the true Em is Marshall Mathers. Whether it's drawing a line in the sand, or speaking up on gun control, He'll use his platform for what he truly believes is right. And during all this, idiots are ripping on Em... Cannon with the lame disses, Jamar saying he's only a "guest", Budden backstabbing him with the Revival critique.... people who diss on Enimem as a man are pieces of shit. He's a great father too, might I add. (It feels like Joyner Lucas is influencing his art a little too). Btw, I'll never vote for any politician who takes blood money from the NRA mafia. America is so fvcked up in that sense.
Damn this was fire! a friend I went to High School with was at this concert, and had many stories of people helping people and some that saved their lives. small world this shit is happening everywhere big and small towns.
As a french guy who have a limited english / US hip hop culture knowledge, you guy's make me enjoy this culture and artist like Em more and more everyday. Keep doing what you doing, can't wait to see the all album reaction!!
Y'all missed the Vegas and "vague", plus vague deals with feelings, like PREMONITIONS! THAT'S A BAR! 🔥🔥🔥 You gotta listen to each track like several times....
That’s why we need OGs like y’all cuz these youngsters can’t catch nothing Eminem say
D4 The kidcf there’s some of us young ones that catch it. Mainly cause my brother made me listen to Eminem as a 6 yo and I’ve always kept up with him. 23 now and man I love Eminem

Bars!
That’s a bar

Scott Hamilton got bars pass nick

With the "haven't got the vaguest" bar he also name-checked Hunter S. Thompson's "Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas"
Country Bump King finally i see someone else catching this!!!
I caught it too. Theres alot to go through!!!
Also, “Haven’t got the vaguest (VEGAS) idea why I’m so lost (LAS)..... Las Vegas
😳😳 mind blown! Got me on that one!!!
Finger on the trigger, but I'm a licensed owner
With no prior convictions, so loss, the sky's the limit
So my supplies infinite, strapped like I'm a soldier
Petik Bertik law says
Masterpiece already. Incredible
I thought I remembered hearing he bought all of the guns illegally. Is that wrong?
ArtifiShuL Instinct I don’t know if they were all legal or illegal but I do know the rifles were converted illegally to automatic rifles with 30+ round mags. You can’t buy machine gun style weapons legally. So, people taking about background checks - that wouldn’t have mattered here.
I say let’s focus on illegal weapons first because drug dealers, gangs, etc. don’t mess with background checks. It’s lazy on the part of government to say let’s take the registered guns because we know where those are, but do nothing about illegal weapons. The Texas church shooter was a felon and he stole his shot gun. His was mentally ill, couldn’t pass the background check and he still got a gun.
Your Online Mom and here’s the problem that Americans just wont face. No gun equals no shooting. Even when it comes to hunting it becomes a lot harder to commit a mass shooting if all you have access to is a hunting rifle with a small clip or a cross bow. Now there will always be the an issue that someone unstable cause death with these none weapons of war. But hopefully one day democracy and world peace will win out and there will be no need for guns on the planet at all.
Em: *Drops am album*
Stans: I ain’t goin in tomorrow...
Hell yeah man best comment ever!
⁰
I woke up in the morning and seen Em dropped an album and I was, yeah, I'll reschedule my work to the evening. I have very understanding boss when it comes to good music (I'm my own boss).
😂yup
The phrase hello darkness my old friend and the Beat is a sample from Simon & Garfunkel Sound of Silence
That and "The Boxer" 2 of my all-time favorites. Both guys incredible.
You got it right.
Piano is sampled from Disturbed cover of Sound of silence
@@jeyzeus I heard that the gun sounds were sampled from the Vegas shooting.. (vegas has cameras all over, so it would be possible)
@@GregWalker-IT-Pro It's not not possible
I feel like you guys got it the way Eminem intended this to be impacted emotionally. Respect dads, Belgium dad.
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve rewatched this and I’m still amazed you got it in 45 seconds. In less than a minute you got what the song was about. Incredible. Someone should give you all licenses for your interpretation skills.
same
the line "Commando with extra clips, I got ammo for all the hecklers
I'm armed to the teeth" also refers to the weapon company "Heckler & koch" which is a german weapon manufacturer. so he has ammo for all his hecklers (heckler & koch weapons). Insane lyrics in this song. Nothing but art.
Eminem is one of the greatest poets ever man.. I live in Vegas and it still lingers in the air everyday.. that Sound of Silence sample is so cold too.. especially the bridge in the last verse where the shooter lost it...I really appreciate Em doing this. Sometimes imagery can be the necessary tool to open your eyes...RIP to everyone who lost their lives that night.. Things just have to change man...
You forgot the fact that when looking at the tv’s talking about how they trying to control Em like he is a gun, the media straight up blamed Em for Columbine School Shooting saying his music needs to be controlled. Double entendres.
This is easily the best reaction channel... You guys pick up everything and dissect every bar on the spot.
And the people bowed and prayed, to the neon god they made. Even the sample fits into the song concept so beautifully. This song is GENIUS.
This dude should have the Oscars named after him. Controlled Chaos, it’s beautiful
The emmynemmies lol
I love watching you guys. You stop to breakdown everything, catch things that no one else can. But then after doing all of that, ya'll still got a heart and care. It's amazing to see people I respect so highly actually care.
NOW FOR THAT MOM AND DAD SQUAD HUG!
"It's a double! The whole video is a double!" 4:50 😮😂😂
this is the fastest I've seen someone figure out its a double on the shooter
Wow.. that just brought tears to my eyes... and I'm a grown man. Thank you Em and thanks guys. Great breakdown.
Santa Fe, Texas is where my family and I went to school. Luckily I'd been long graduated, but my youngest cousin & sister got caught in the crossfire of the shooter and my cousin actually got tagged in the arm, and they knew all the kids that died personally. They took classes with him and were their friends, he watched his friends get shot and killed as they were pinned in the art classroom supply closet barricaded as he shot through the door. The Santa Fe shooter, Dimitrios Pagourtzis, was on the football team with my cousin. He said he was just awkward and quiet and never spoke out or seemed aggressive. Then one day, the shooting just happened. My mother-in-law lived down the street from the High School and was just pulling kids into her house as they ran for their lives from the school. It was a shocking event for my small town and it was a wake up call for many. Em may be getting a lot of backlash from this song, but I have unfathomable amounts of respect for him using his platform like this. He truly feels like he has an obligation to us, when in all reality he doesn't. I had to calm many people down in my town that were interpreting the song in the wrong way, or hearing it as if the shootings were justified. Obviously not. Have patience with the people who don't understand and explain the masterpiece of a story that this is to them. This song still gives me goosebumps. We don't deserve Eminem.
Nick Cannon must feel like an idiot knowing he dissed someone who was in the middle of writing a song trying to help change the world.
Nice
"Do as I do not as I say"
"Fuck the Colt 45, I'ma need somethin' stronger" - As an assault rifle....stronger than a .45
It seems like I've been all my life for this but it's only been one day . Script work is here finally
Legit savage honest reaction
YOU guys stay safe over there in America much love from Ireland
"Loathing in Las Vegas" - isn't that the reference to the Johny Depp movie, 'fear and loathing in las vegas'?
Yep!!
Gawdamn, Em goes levels in
Well, it's origins are in a book by Hunter S. Thompson by the same name, but yes.
@onewithmyself lol..facts!
Eminem and Royce did a song awhile back. The song is called "Vegas" and near the end of the song one of the lines Royce said was "the only fear I have is of loathing, and that won't even kick in until we get to Las Vegas."
I knew at the time that for sure was Royce making a reference to the Movie
You two are very smart. Liked the reaction very much
I follow many others, nolifeshaq, layedback, etc.. I like them all in their own ways but y'all are the best bar dissectors and you consistently catch things others don't. Mad respect to you guys and I hope y'all stick around for the long haul because I will watch and like every time.
Also, when you kick the screen it 💀 me every time. Best shit ever 😂
This reminds me of stan and Ross Capicchioni.... sheer fucking genius..
This song is absolutely incredible. Loved it from the first time I heard it. It definitely touches on something that’s controversial. As someone who has A. Served in the Marines and has a combat tour and also lived in several states. Some where gun laws are the most strict and some where they are the most lenient I know this isn’t a black and white discussion. It’s a lot of grey area. Crazy/evil men shouldn’t have guns, but at the same time, good men/women should be able to have guns. Making guns illegal won’t stop criminals from owning them, we see that in New Jersey, LA, philly, Chicago etc. and we don’t wanna take away guns from good people while criminals still have them. BUT, at the same time we need to prevent crazy people with clean records from having guns. The problem is no one wants to compromise. The left doesn’t wanna don’t guns can be used for good and the right doesn’t want to admit that it’s too easy to get guns. Both can be true. There’s people like the vegas shooter who can hurt so many with a gun but there is also men like Steven Williford from Sutherland springs who stopped a mass shooter with his personal AR-15 when he heard gun shots coming from a church and ran there barefoot and then chased and killed the active shooter before he could go to the next 5 churches he had planned to shoot up.
I wish people would hear this song and think about it. It’s better to come together and discuss this issue and find a way where everyone wins rather than having too much pride and trying to just win for yourself.
I so agree with you..the gun issue is such a hot topic that reason and common sense went out the window. I live in Jersey.
Yesssss the reaction I've been waiting for! You two always break it down to another level, respect!
Heckler and Koch is also a brand of firearms.
Y'all the best at catching bars
Yo, I'll say it again, these boys miss nothing.. this is why eminem and other great lyricist write.. so people can hear the art... the art of words..
Ron Rodriguez ... ... ...
Of all reactors I was waiting for you guys to jump on this new Em shit. You breaking these bars like you breaking kit-kat
If anyone ever doubted Eminem's genius, this track is evidence of it; absolute masterful execution of his craft. It gave me chills and just fills me anguish.
Ive never seen a reaction channel put together this whole video as quick as you guys did. Amazing. Caught every line too.
Damn I can’t believe I just found your channel, best believe this is the first one I’m going to for now on. Thanks for the work you bring, you two are great- the doubles part had me weak haha cause yup. Here we go again, friends. All nighters coming up! Blessed!
You two are the best dissect/reaction channel on UA-cam for sure. You're just on a whole other level than anyone else.
GOAT reactions, ya'll always bring the perspectives and great breakdowns, I was just as excited for a surpise album from Em as I was knowing you two would be on this. Much love.
"IT'S A FUCKING DOUBLE"
i cracked so hard when he said that lol.
He’s mixing his career into the vegas shooting. He isn’t speak from the shooters perspective. Great video! Glad you’re back!
Yeah. He was doing the parallel with drugs and his career between killing himself and all these people mass shootings. They got it, i think. But, they missed that touch.
They said it in the beginning my man, around 5:30
Irish Made they actually said that twice
Yuh. You can see it from a few different places. His own demons. His own drug use. Mass shootings. His own celebrity/career taking a dive when he went a different way the last 2 albums. Survivors vs himself surviving. Several levels.
@@capatheist yep. Many levels. Em, to me, says what he thinks, then leaves the rest for us to work with. Highly intelligent.
Knowledge is power, but powerless if you got it and you do not acknowledge it.
-Not Alike -
This is how you use your power.
Salute Em.
This song hits ya in a whole different type of way. Just like at the end says. “When will this end? When enough people care” this song has so much meaning and is such a powerful song and unfortunately he is getting backlash for it. #huglife #godbless #stoptheviolence #heisourvoice!
The GOATS at breaking down bars!! Nobody compares to you guys. You catch everything. Thank you!!!!
You guys got that it was about
The Vegas shooter and a double ententre
Waaaaay before others I've watched.
Him whispering that behind some verses
Made this amazing! And that piano in the back!!
Y'all the best!!!!
Wendy Shank that or they may have watched that before recording it’s too perfect of a guess but you never know anything is possible
Respect to Eminem for this song. No one can tell a story like Eminem. Love from Denmark 😘
Its a double! ITS A FUCKIN DOUBLE!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHHA That was great!
I wish I could extra like this...it was easily the best reaction I've seen so far to this video (and the only one I've bothered to comment on). Amazing analysis and awesome final comments.
Great reference to “The art of storytelling”
OutKast flashback lol
Seriously how do you make a whole song a double and be so clear on 2 fronts if he ain’t the GOAT then there is no one that is!!!
Storytelling
Metaphors
Content
Relevance
How it resonates with u
Rhyme Scheme
If the hood ain’t listening perhaps they should!
I swear I’m only 1/5 in and it’s enough
I’m riding with Em and y’all I call shotgun!!!
And yeah Nick is such an ass now even more than ever and I didn’t think it was possible.
Exactly how I felt the whole time 😂
Couldn't agree more!!!!
A fellow Outkast fan, I'm going to listen to Aquamini again
The hood is not defining the skills and the relevance of an artist. Even NWA's major audience were white dudes. If hoods fuckin with mumble rap does it make mumble rap decent?
Eminem is a master at making people see the bigger picture. He paints it out perfectly.. another thing. You see UA-cam shut this out. It's not trending. Food for thought. You can't shut EM up!!!
"It's a f*ckin double!" THE BEST REACTORS ON UA-cam. You INSTANTLY got the point he was making!!!
Slim Shady is a persona... the true Em is Marshall Mathers. Whether it's drawing a line in the sand, or speaking up on gun control, He'll use his platform for what he truly believes is right. And during all this, idiots are ripping on Em... Cannon with the lame disses, Jamar saying he's only a "guest", Budden backstabbing him with the Revival critique.... people who diss on Enimem as a man are pieces of shit. He's a great father too, might I add. (It feels like Joyner Lucas is influencing his art a little too).
Btw, I'll never vote for any politician who takes blood money from the NRA mafia. America is so fvcked up in that sense.
You guys are by the far the best reaction channel to catch bars so quick. damn
This is why I love you guys! You caught that Soooo quick!
YES! Waited for yous all night. Being wtg all other youtubers jumping on it. So still wtg them all. Love you guys from NZ
UA-cam buried the music video and reactions to this masterpiece 10 feet deep.
Song just so good n the video about the Vegas shooting and how he put everything together he the goat
Damn this was fire! a friend I went to High School with was at this concert, and had many stories of people helping people and some that saved their lives. small world this shit is happening everywhere big and small towns.
Patty at least you understand what Em is trying to explain. Others are bashing him without listening to the video.
Wonder how someone who went to this concert experiencing the hell would think of this song 🤔 would be interesting to hear their take
Yeah knowing my friend they wouldn’t want anyone to be silent that’s for sure . Nothing is accomplished by doing or saying nothing
I watch a lot of reactors because I find it fun and funny. You two are easily the smartest and most open. Keep it up!
You picked that up quick about the shooting great reaction as usual.
As a french guy who have a limited english / US hip hop culture knowledge, you guy's make me enjoy this culture and artist like Em more and more everyday.
Keep doing what you doing, can't wait to see the all album reaction!!
Y'all missed the Vegas and "vague", plus vague deals with feelings, like PREMONITIONS!
THAT'S A BAR! 🔥🔥🔥
You gotta listen to each track like several times....
Best react ive seen so far . 5-10 seconds of perspective and then back to the video. Well done
I did not catch the “alcohol on my breath reach for the scope”
The double meanings just keep coming
Powerful song and powerful reaction. #ScriptWork is the best in the reaction business!
