[Industry Ghostwriter] Reacts to: Royce da 5'9" - Caterpillar ft. Eminem, King Green- FIRST LISTEN

[@trevordobrinska681]

In the words of Shaq - “Em always goes last” lol

[@migueljimenez6133]

Best for last lol

I think technically it's hashtag #EmGoesLast

Ants, bees, moths, caterpillars, wasps, grass hoppers, and Anderson Silva - the spider. If you have a chance, listen again for just the insect references. There's like 75 of them.

[@Stefnmaddy]

I’m 54 yrs old and LOVE this song. Shocked the hell out of my nieces and nephews when I sang (almost) every word to this at a birthday party recently. 😂

Respect!

I just had to point out that you said "his rapping is sporadic" and add "My thoughts are sporadic, I act like I'm an addict I rap like I'm addicted to smack like I'm Kim Mathers" - Till I Collapse.

[@SaltyJennC]

The poop and pseudonym bar is even further. He and Proof used “doody” as their nicknames for each other (I think) I know he called proof Doody. But I think they both called each other that. But that definitely is a shout out to proof.

[@jasonerickson1753]

It also refers to the fact that people say, "Eminem is the shit!"

[@jdw221221]

I know proof used to call em doody. In the song won't back down he says "Shake your booty shawty, I'm the shit. Why you think proof used to call me doody?"

[@michaelbraum77]

Royce is SO UNDERRATED!!! We really need a new Bad meets Evil! Especially being we won't be getting a new Slaughterhouse album any time soon, if EVER!

[@stevenlarter4116]

Just caught something about the Grasshopper line. In the TV show, Kung Fu, the main character, as a student was called "Grasshopper" then Em slides into the Karate Kid references. Dude, there is no end to dissecting his lyrics

[@lorenzobenjamin6579]

The longest part of the life cycle of a butterfly is the caterpillar. Ppl trying to skip over the fundamentals, trying to disrespect the foundation. Come up stars that lack longevity be butterflies.

[@ShesJustAsBoredAsMee]

19:51 poop is litteraly his pseudonym. He and proof called each other "doodie" as a nickname

[@jessefiordimondo154]

A loft, like an apartment

[@weejtm]

ive heard this song like 1000 times and it took me until watching this reaction to realize he starts a scheme off saying hes "batty" and then ends the scheme like 20 bars later by saying he is kingpin and penguin combined: batman villians

[@andreacollins3204]

One of the best bar heavy songs! Full of double triple quadruple entendres! Royce was hard as well! The way he described the Andersen silva shit is in my mind like I was there!!

[@Matt-zp1jn]

Royce makes everyone aside from EM look third rate!!! Even Black Thought who releasec zero solo albums! 😎

[@andreacollins3204]

@@Matt-zp1jn I disagree cos black thought is goated to me from the roots and I find him amazing

[@necro_bbx3376]

Em was the one talking about Anderson Silva not Royce but yeah

[@andreacollins3204]

@@necro_bbx3376 I know that. I think my comment just read wrong. I was saying Royce was hard as well not Royce did the the Anderson silva scheme

[@necro_bbx3376]

@@andreacollins3204 well it’s Royce’s song so when you made a general reference I assumed you meant Royce; coupled with you mentioning Royce by name, led me to my confusion

[@lunargamer5261]

Cliff at 17:21: His thoughts are sporadic. Me: Oh yeah, he acts like an addict.

[@TheOfficialCritShow]

One of my favorite parts of the actual video is the start of Royce 2nd verse talking about respect/friends/competition but when he comes in he actually bumps into Em. Showing friendship but we still competing. Dope 💯

[@chadhallack9675]

Also the saloon reference talking about a "bars with my stools in them" bars have stools... barstools. 😉

[@hs11771]

I can't stop cracking up at 8:49 how perfectly your expression reflected the line "You're havin' a little trouble fathomin' this is actually happenin'."

[@DustinKeating-yk3vq]

I bet it would be awesome to watch Eminem in the booth when hes going hard

[@DGRocco]

The Daniel San scheme is like a quadruple.

[@LuvStonedDIVA]

9:25 " You're looking at Attila, the psychopathic killer, the caterpillar...." He was saying he like Attila the Hun who, he and his men, murdered thousands. He of course, is one of the major known mass murdering leaders in history. Not sure if someone mentioned this, just giving my two cents. Dope channel. Nobody talks about lyricism anymore. Thank you for what you bring.

[@synchronizedelbow5702]

And to add on, the suspected Father of everyone's genetic code. Apparently, Em birthed ALL the young rappers.

[@michelletaylor369]

Loved this song too most didn’t get 1/3 of what Marshall & Royce said!

[@Sunny-jz3dy]

Lmao! He ripped the wings off!!! Then you hear the squish! No one does it like this man!!! Even when it seems like he's all over the place ..it All connects!! Dang....doubles & triples!!! hand job...wacks off... Pretty sure I heard him right..lol

[@PrettyDeadlyJesse]

Using the metaphor of the evolution of rap. Royce and Eminem are catapillars, like originals and new rappers are the evolution, the butterfly.

[@adamshiflett9845]

What's up brother. Glad I found this channel. Always fun to get baked and breakdown some em lyrics

[@CliffBeatsOfficial]

Hell yeah! What’s good brother 👊

[@Matt-zp1jn]

Great initial breakdown! One of the greatest 100 LYRICAL Rap songs of ALL time, as a duo or singular track! This ROYCE track feat EM is unstoppable! Both SLAY all the moths on this track!!! 😎

[@chrislouis5743]

I’ve said before Royce, I believe is the few who can keep up with Eminem on a song. But this particular song? Em got him on this one. He absolutely slayed his entire verse.

[@ognjenknezevic8786]

13:44 the best moment of the entire video... The part where Eminem said "Wait a minute", and he paused it and said "Hold up", exactly as the next two words in the song

[@shawnvaughn91]

They set it off bars, and he was talking about so much heat that he's spitting. The roof comes off the top of the building, and the roof is on fire. It's a reference to what I guess is a throwback sound song now.

[@dylanolivier1921]

🤣Me liking the video before even watching... Cause I just know 🤔 every single one of his videos are awesome... But why is it when he laughs it looks like it hurts 🤣🤔

[@craiglanglois8339]

Back again 2023! Still breaking this down…

[@maxmiraglia6936]

Great reacción. Eminem es el Mejor Rapero vivo. No hay discusión, es masivo, mundial, sigue en el juego desde el primer disco.

[@OldeManBenji]

“Stomp em’ and Stan’d on em” So many missable subtle lines

[@Reeno26]

Love the line that is something like “dad taught you to rap as a toddler, my dad is your grandfather”. Saying that I taught you. You learned from ME. I’m who you aspire to be like.

[@anthonygibson1967]

If anyone hasn't listened to the whole album Book of Ryan, please do. It is a classic album.

[@OuTSMOKE]

"Shit is real like I poop Jerusalem" is the best line in rap, ever. lol

[@averyisaiah1]

You did a great job breaking this down 👍

[@tastein000]

One of my favorite songs! Great job with the breakdown on this. I always loved the original karate kid, so whack song, wax off one of my favorite schemes.

[@Sh4dyMamb4]

The hard A he used in the beginning is unreal

[@derekwebster110]

I’m pretty sure this was post Revival, pre Kamikaze; so there were a lot of younger ppl in rap trying to dump on Em for Revival & him not being the old Slim Shady. So, he came at them all in this track. At the time this dropped, I thought he was coming at Token, which may have been a bit of it. Tonen has a track called “Patty Cake” that dropped a few months before this & it seemed like he took a shot at Em. It later was clarified that he (Token) was coming at those making the comparison to Em; he’s made several song references to their comparison, but “Patty Cake” was one of or the first time he made the comparison. So, it seemed like this was Em responding to him with a “You’re right; we don’t compare.” As more time has passed, I think this was way more broad than just Token & really just Em letting the newer rap generation know that they can’t silence him or even touch his craft.

[@rudyregehr6231]

this beat hits hard. this whole song is something you listen to when you need to hype yourself for something big you're about to do, especially Em's verse. incredible.

[@jasonerickson1753]

One bar that people sleep on, maybe because it's hidden in plain sight: "Sasquatch dancing on top of an ant, trample it and stomp it, Smash it and stand on it..." > could also be "Smash it and "STAN"ed on it." Basically he's huge, they're not, and he's making classics (like "Stan") that people will remember for life.

[@triggrhappi]

"Your favourite rapper/wrapper isn't half as ill as Advasil" - "Advasil Conform" is a sheet of medical grade self-adherent used to WRAP up wounds. so this is interesting because the "ill" ties in with Advasil being medical grade and used in hospitals SINCE 1981. So Advasil is also OG and they are of a very high quality compared to everyday wound wraps, like butterflies are more fragile than caterpillars which came first. So he's saying that your fav rapper/wrapper is like cheap a band-aid that cant wrap/rap and easily and forgotten while he can wrap so well that he can remove scars.

[@mickgauntlett5502]

One of my favourite tunes, I like Royce 69 cocaine what’s a tune as well

Another one of my favourites. Such a clear message.

This shit Israel( is real) like I pooped Jerusalem. That line kills every line any rapper has said in the last 10 years. Em is a genius. That entire poop scheme. Damn

Royce LA Leakers freestyle is nuts! Hope you react to that one day!

[@lilhuevo5401]

When he says the "These beats are like my saloons 'Cause these bars always got my stools in 'em" he's pretty much trying to also say that he's shitting on these beats and destroying them.

Yo this track is a classic and the way Em hopped on this he knew what he was doing and Royce coming through with the harmonies as well also this was the start of Em’s Kamikaze Era my favorite bar of that year this was released was by Em he said “The boom bap is coming back with an axe to mumble rap Lumberjack with a hacksaw”🤧👊🏽🐐🔥🎯💯
