Eminem - Rap God - Reaction - I'll be right back after I pick up the jaw I dropped on the floor...

I love the "slow down" with absolutely NO idea what's about to hit you in 5 minutes 😂🤣 Mint.

[@SuperMunkeh]

This track was all about Em showing off - every verse he shows that he's mastered a different cadence. People mistake it for just fast rapping, but there's a lot more to it than that.

[@davidstevens23]

Exactly! He changes his cadence constantly in this track! Not many do more than 1 cadence a song, let alone a couple times a verse.

[@marvinthemartian4044]

Right. Not to mention spitting some knowledge bc he has tons of amazing influences that were mentioned...dope. I love how he can bend and twist whatever names he wants (as shown in mtbmb) and make em flow. Incredible.

[@0nyce6]

@@marvinthemartian4044 even the intro gives me wu vibes

[@fantasysportsanalysistfsa8938]

When he went "Super sonic" he was paying respect to Dr. Dre and the group are produced named J.J. Fad. He incorporated their flow or in this case, he downloaded their flow and cadence.

[@vissuful]

Also, he's going throught all the lyrics he got "cancelled" for in the past. Absolutely masterful way of giving the finger to the past.

[@CausticTitan]

I really like seeing you go from someone who "doesn't like rap" to getting genuinely excited watching people rap. It's a whole genre and artform that so many people pass up for no reason

[@GagePettis]

Honestly, You have really improved in your ability to pick up on rap lyrics. Especially with someone like Eminem who raps so quickly and has such amazing wordplay and so many doubles and triples. Major props to you for continuing to improve and trying to learn. Really love your channel man! Keep up the great work!

@@Semajmk7 yeeaah there is this ridiculous narrative how it would be racist if he would get in it before this or that black rapper are even in. Like it's just progression to even take more rappers in and Em is the most active living legend in rap (most succesfull also and not for no reason) so I think it's actually racist to say he shouldn't be taken before this or that guy because of main argument being HIS SKIN COLOR. How ironic is that.

@@aleksisuuronen5969 He wouldn’t be the first rapper, there are lots of them in already. It’s just hip to hate on Em right now. 🙄 You can vote multiple times by adding +1, +2, etc to your email name.

[@aleksisuuronen5969]

@@Len_M. yeah well there still was some skincolor argument and articles going on with it which is why I already tuned it out.. and tought it would be first rapper because the skincolor argument would make even some minimal inch of sense then. But without it, it goes on minus side of making any sense. Also yes there is hate but he is so big name that there will always be that fraction. There is still way more support for him than hate what I see all the time. Like 20 people for 1 hater. Also I don't even mind if someone has arguments why they don't like his music, that's fine. I hate when peoplw being outside influences that doesn't make any sense into the convo (have to say that his fans doea do that too a lot and can be obnoxious sometimes). But more tham anything I'm interested when the actual rap indrusty gives their opinion and it's usually the same 1/20, some guy that is wilding out with stupid points. Like Lord Jamar or whoever saying you cannot rap about this and that basically as their point. Also it's that factor of calling him out to get buzz because it actually works for like it did for Snoop. Now Game doing it. But that can be labeled as competition if you don't make remarks like Dre did nothing for me or what Snoop said, but I guess that's just to get attention and shows who really the top dog is.. who they be trying ride with their fame (Snoop got feat out of it just because Em respects the guy so much). Also so many times in this day and age, still after decades easily proven how blacks dominate this indrusty as they always have, some people throw the argument how Em's white so he get's more fans because of it.. but wait why isn't most of the top rappers then white. Makes no sense. So yeah it's ok to not like his music but I don't like the over and over went arguments like The Foolish Pride Girl and stuff like that.

Hey Larry! Please don't fret over not picking apart every lyric, or hell, not always being able to keep up with them! It can be really tough, even for people familiar with the genre. Eminem also doesn't make it easy here. There will always be some people not satisfied. EDIT: YES, I am very much here to see "this guy" flip his lid over "that guy." and as of Googling now, Em isn't currently in the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame... yet! He seems to be nominated for it this year. Fingers crossed this is his time 🤞 EDIT2: yeah, that's pretty much how we all felt the first time we heard that fast verse...

Man I fucking love this man. His reactions are so fucking genuine, so unscripted, so real. And he’s quickly picking up lyrics too. Love to see this. And I love this even more because that is EXACTLY how I reacted when I heard his supersonic verse for the first time. Godly, unreal and worthy of only admiration couple with jaw dropping awe.

[@larryshair]

Marshall, thank you so much for those kind words! That was so unnecessary but so kind of you to say.

[@DaniBauerTHEGoddess]

I will never get tired of watching people react to this song. But I always say, the most overlooked line is the one about his lyrics being "tongue in cheek". Because so many people take a lot of his lyrics too literally. He's often accused of being homophobic, but those same people ignore the fact that he's super close to Elton John, who actually helped him get clean. You should watch their live performance of Stan at the Grammys. It's considered one of the most epic live performances in Grammy history. Also the interview Elton John did on the Graham Norton Show regarding Eminem.

[@thema886]

Let's not forgot to mention his countless times dressing in "drag" characters for videos and FEATURING one (Derrick Barry sp?) if not multiple 2slgbtqia+ peeps! Putting on a persona or character is key to entertainment! Even Elvira is gay! Let's wake up. He doesn't hate em. He WAS a minority in his world. BRING BACK SATIRE!(x3)

[@ADDISON396]

NO COMMENT ON THE HOMOPHOBIA ACCUSATIONS- but seperate note about Elton John defending the worst people imaginable sometimes. He's got a trqck record of doing so. So if you don't think Em is homophobic, there's lots of other egs out there than a man known to defend some of the worst of the worst because they happen to be in the industry. Also not a comment on Elton, I like him too, my comment is purely just commenting on that line of logic 😊

[@k0vert]

I think my favorite line is still the one in the first verse, "for me to rap like a computer must be in my genes(jeans), I got a laptop in my back pocket" Haha and I totally get what you mean when you were talking about like hanging on for dear life trying to follow those lyrics. This is why Eminem has such good replay value. You catch something new each time you listen. Great reaction btw, you had me cracking up every time you started cracking up lol

[@cassandrahepp6445]

This is why his music never gets old. A decade later, 100 listens and you STILL find something new.

[@theamazingtif]

You’re doing just fine with the bars. I am convinced he writes in a way that we aren’t supposed to catch it all at once. Can you imagine putting this much work in to a song just to have some kid online act like he caught every single thing on the first pass? He works too hard for things to be easy to catch. Lazy listeners need not apply.

And Eminem is now in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame! BTW, the trip down memory lane at the pong segment really struck me. I'm 46 and I remember having to connect to the TV that way to play Asteroids on the Atari 2600 (we actually had a Coleco Vision first). I still play games and it is insane how far we have come in my lifetime.

[@azekel7687]

"I bully myself, cuz I make me do what I put my mind to when I'm a million leagues above me" This is a powerful line, because it's the opposite of what other people do, when they reach a certain level of accomplishment, or success, they think they got it all and then they become complacent and stop going because they "believe" they got it all, and then they eventually lose something more valuable. Eminem basically came from nothing and look where he is now because of hard work and Perseverance, and even after success he's still going.

@19:00, he is referencing a time when the FCC censored a line in the explicit version of "I'm Back" from his "The Marshall Mathers LP" which he released in 2000. He makes numerous references to this in other songs, namely in "Without Me" on "The Eminem Show", released in 2003. Although, "Without me" was specifically referring to "the Real Slim Shady" song where he makes many sexual innuendos and causes him to be fined by the FCC.

I can recommend three very deep and in his discography important songs from the 2010 album "Recovery" where he's talking about the loss of his friend Proof and overcoming his drug addiction. The first one is "Talking To Myself" kzbin.info/www/bejne/bGimfoOFqNKigtk ....The second one is "Going Through Changes" kzbin.info/www/bejne/n6GYgpJ4m695brM ......and the third one is "Not Afraid" kzbin.info/www/bejne/oGaQqn6eeclpatU while only the third one, "Not Afraid", has an official music video and is the most popular one out of these three. Nontheless the other two songs give a great insight to his feelings during that time. And then there's "Guts Over Fear" kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZnLUn3aJmdCdh5I which is from 2014 (same year as "Headlights") where he is refering to "Not Afraid" once. A reflecting and motivational song and this one also has an offical video and is popular.

A lot of the references he's making about other rappers were the people he listened to who inspired him; people he studied to become the Rap God he is today. Thus, the visual references to the Matrix downloading knowledge a la "I know kung fu." This song is an instruction manual for those few with the talent to follow in his footsteps. Edit: Don't worry about picking up on all the lyrics and the doubles, triples, and even quads throughout. It's 1,560 word crammed into 6 minutes (4.28 words per second) and has held the Guinness record for most words in a hit single since 25 October 2013.

I listened again. “Pay homage pupil it’s me my honesty brutal but honestly futile if I don’t utilize what I do though for good at least once in a while. So I wanna make sure somewhere in the chicken scratch I Scribble and doodle enough rhymes to maybe help people get through tough times.” Made me respect him again. And motivation “I’m a bully because I make me do whatever I put my mind to” Just Gold

[@aliciadarga6993]

Worth every second! By FAR one of my favorite reactions! Thank you for this!!

[@ana2vader]

I always loved this song but after hearing you breaking it down and appreciating his craft, I love it even more.

[@MrGoldman2323]

I must say, I absolutely love what you are doing here. You put off that vibe of the cool uncle who sits with the kids at Thanksgiving, because you’re genuinely interested in their world, and what they have going on. Keep doing what you’re doing man

[@larryshair]

Thanks so much, Stephen!

Been really enjoying your reactions. Definitely a new subscriber here. Cheers!!

Thanks so much Fletcher!

[@axelschweiss9925]

Thanks for the shout out! :D I'm glad you liked the song. I thought you might, but i was not expecting a place two of all eminem songs :o. I've got something a little different for you as next recommendations: 1. "Far over the misty mountains cold" this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e6POp2RjlN2Fbbc or "Blackbird" this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gYfRcoSHYq2Ggrc from Geoff Castelluci. You already know him, he is the bass singer from "VoicePlay", the acapella group you reacted to a while ago. He also does his own stuff, wich is only him (layering himself a bunch), but he does all the voices in his solo stuff. It is also not strictly acapella. He has just an awesome voice and incredible range. 2. Please react to the live session video of "Pisces" from the band Jinjer. This video kzbin.info/www/bejne/iYKxpXqlgph5jLc All i'm going to say about them is that they are a really talented band from Ukraine. !!! I HIGHLY recommend not doing any further research about them before you watch the video !!! Oof I'm kinda late to the party. I hope you still see this comment between the hundreds of other comments.

[@larryshair]

Thanks bud!

[@dirtyroo5562]

Best thing about em is he always shows his respect and thanks them for paving the way for him.

[@thuershen]

Your reactions are so raw and so sincere that it continues to make me feel like -I- am the one discovering Em again. Amazing. You're also catching up on the meanings of his lyrics so well and it's a wonderful thing to see you picking up more and more of his history. If I can suggest something to you (other than continuing this amazing journey) it is to watch a couple of reactions of the "pros" picking apart Em's lyrics. Do it off the record maybe (although a reaction to a reaction might also be great? 😝), and maybe don't go too deep into it to not spoil the further experiences for yourself. But I do think that if you were to watch a couple of break-downs of maybe songs you've already listened to, it would give you an even better template for when you get into the following songs. There are many that I could recommend, but mostly I'd like to point you towards Knoxx Hill. He gets in the deepest. For that matter, why not listen to one of Knoxx's songs? 😉 Anyway, just an idea. Either way. I will be continuing to look forward to more of these videos ☺️

[@randywilliamson8376]

Knoxx has the very best break apart lyrically reaction that I’ve seen. Good call

[@coreyaldridge1753]

[@ohdearwhatyoudone8271]

This is my new favorite reaction channel without a doubt. Trust me man no one will be peeved if you don't catch all the bars. I've been listening to eminem for 15 years or so and I'm still catching some stuff from his first few albums I've been missing for years. The more you listen the more you catch, and that's when you'll really understand this man's genius. Great work 👏🏼

[@somebody9633]

Funny that you said woah Nelly at the end. Thats how one of ems freestyles began. Check it out sometime

I'm no idea what you may be doing now.. hope you're well whatever you're doing. I really connected to your reaction here I am in my 60s and I've had nothing at all to do with the rap scene or anything like that my entire life Three reactors I have been introduced to people who cross genres and liking some of them has had my ears become more attuned it's only been in this last month did I have been able to go ahead and listen to Eminem just to see what it was about. Long story short I am now in love... Insult all the things that you were saying through this now myself have to learn all the things in references but I have something to hang it on and make it meaningful.pause away guy

[@larryshair]

That's great! I resisted this genre for a very long time but as you pick apart what he writes about, it's all very motivational in a huge way.

[@Feverdreamwalker-r1z]

It’s so cool to see the older generation finally being able to appreciate the amazing art that is hip-hop.

I'm so enjoying watching you discover and revel in the genius. It's so cool. Love it! It's super rare for someone of your (actually our) generation. And there is so much to love and value in it. Kudos to you.

[@jsp7218]

No one on 🌎 could pick up every double in this song on their 1st listen. I doubt most Em fans could even recognize all of the complicated lyrics after just ONE listen. Don't feel bad!

[@haninissam3471]

just to let you know, that was a freestyle. that means he didn't write any of that down, he just rapped over the music off the top of his head.

[@Shaolinmike1994]

He said that, but I’m most positive Eminem did not freestyle that for real. There’s too many layers for that to be a “freestyle off the top of the dome piece while I was asleep on the couch”. He also did an interview with Zane Lowe and you can tell he’s being sarcastic about it.

[@TheBiologyking]

Misleading

[@xystify7973]

@@Shaolinmike1994 it was in one take- not freestyles. Which means he rapped the entire song in one take and didn’t edit pieces together.

[@Shaolinmike1994]

[@Justin-ru3zr]

[@50cal80]

I think should start listening to some of his more “lighthearted” songs which can be very entertaining like Without Me or The Real Slim Shady they are some interesting songs. I don’t think you have seen that side of Em yet I’m excited to see your reaction.

[@monique2299]

I was just thinking about how this was like his first introduction to the non-serious side of Em which is such a huge part of him lol. Aside from his brilliance, he's also a fucking committed, funny ass entertainer and I'm obsessed w that side of him just as much as his genius - My Band - Without Me - Just Lose it are just a few of my favorite videos that exemplify that 🤪

[@KyleThePale]

@@monique2299 Definitely Just Lose It! That used to be my favorite Em song simply because of how ridiculous it is, and the references are easy to get and pick up on. Just a funny silly song.

[@smugbugs7031]

Ive commented on Larry’s reaction multiple times that he has to react to those two, you can clearly see his humour in those 😂😂

[@angelashrum3581]

Eminem ALWAYS references rappers that came before him and paved the way and who may have inspired hin. In this song, here are the references he made: "You are just what the doc ordered" - Dr. Dre "Packing a MAC in the back of the Ac" - McKinley Phipps, Jr., better known simply as Mac or stage name Lil Mac (rapper in the 90s) "I was signed to Aftermath after the fact" - record label Dr. Dre owns that Eminem BLEW UP and is the main artist, who then brought in 50 Cent How could I not blow? All I do is drop "F" bombs "'Cause I use it as a vehicle to 'bust a rhyme'" - Busta Rhymes "Me? I'm a product of Rakim Lakim Shabazz, 2Pac, N.W.A., Cube, hey, Doc, Ren" - William Michael Griffin Jr. Aka Rakim/half of hip hop duo Eric B. & Rakim, 2Pac/Tupac Shakur, N.W.A. (Niggaz With Attitude, members included: Eazy-E, Dr. Dre, MC Ren, Ice Cube, DJ Yella, The D.O.C, Arabian Prince, DJ Speed) "Yella, Eazy, thank you, they got Slim" - more he helped blow up and friends in the rap industry: Yellawolf & G-Eazy "Blow up and be in a position To meet Run-D.M.C. and induct them Into the motherfuckin' Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame" - Run D.M.C. (Joseph Simmons, Jam Master Jay, Darryl McDaniels, DJ Jam Master J'Son) 'The way I'm racing around the track, call me NASCAR, NASCAR Dale Earnhardt of the trailer park" - Not rap, bit the legendary Dale Earnhardt, king of racing "Kneel before General Zod this planet's Krypton, no Asgard, Asgard So you'll be Thor and I'll be Odin You're rodent, I'm omnipotent Let off then I'm reloading" - same thing, he's THE God "What I do though for good At least once in a while so I wanna make sure Somewhere in this chicken scratch I scribble and doodle Enough rhymes to Maybe try to help get some people through tough times" - unrelated, but I just LOVE this quote because he ALWAYS says this, ALWAYS. How he writes for his fans, for the underdogs, not for the industry or money or bs. He keeps it real for us, who needs him, to feel inspired and heard and related to. "Like when Fabolous made Ray J mad 'Cause Fab said he looked like a fag At Mayweather's pad singin' to a man While he played piano Man, oh man, that was a 24/7 special On the cable channel" - this was funny. Just two idiot so-called "rappers" who needed to insert ridiculous drama to keep themselves relevant because their music didn't speak for itself, and how people on E! and radio talked about it as legit "beef" when they had NO IDEA what real beef was. "Bumping Heavy D and the Boyz Still "Chunky, but Funky"" - Rapper Heavy D and his song released in 1987 - Ok hope that helps!

@@larryshair I’m late to this, but the line directly after his Busta Rhymes shout out is part of it too! “I use it as a vehicle to bus’ the rhyme, now I lead a new school full of students” Busta Rhymes was part of a group called Leaders Of The New School

Still lovin the Eminem reactions! This is one of the densest lyrical songs of all time. Nobody picked up everything on their first listen, but you caught a lot of the heart of the song! Keep up the great content!

[@Retro_Care]

Larry, this is the best reaction ever on Rap God, i have watched this so many times :), its great to see you taking time and try to understand what Em is rapping about, its hard to catch so much the first time. Dont get me wrong when i say " try to" because i dont mean it as a bad thing, i grew up listening to Em and im trying to understand most of his lyrics :), its like you need to study every line he says because even if it sounds "Normal" it usually has a deeper meaning :). Thank you for all the content (reactions), i really enjoy watching you.

Who cares if people hate the pausing! I love it! I’m so happy I came across your page. Watching your reactions brings me back to my childhood when I first snuck my dad’s Eminem CD from his collection and brought it on a field trip. I think I was in 5th or 6th grade, had my little Sony Walkman and Christina Aguilera CD/Walkman case. Life was good!

[@TheGalwayjoyce]

When you are about a year into hip hop, go back and relisten to Em. After you develop the ear, and see Em for what he REALLY is (as an MC), you’ll be able to fully appreciate his genius. The vast majority of people that think Em isn’t talented, actually just have most of what he does going over their head. It becomes too complicated to explain every detail of a song full of bars. It’s just easier to say: “Nah, man. You’re just an idiot”.

[@ryanseguiro5479]

on point like my index issssss. trueeeeeeeeee 💯

[@coreyaldridge1753]

That's no lie. His later stuff gets by me some. I appreciated it more when I watched Scripworks break it down.

[@justmel1395]

I love your face throughout the whole video. You got so many more bars than I did the first time I heard it lol. I've been listening to it for years and I still don't think I can catch every word😂. Keep up the great work, videos like yours are often the highlight of my day🙃💖. P.s. at the end, he's not being mean to women lol don't be scared. He's talking about a song he made with Rihanna where they address domestic violence and toxic relationships. They received a lot of criticism for it saying they're not the ones to give a message since they've both been in toxic relationships. Actually, you should listen to it! It's called Love the Way you Lie. Edit because I accidentally deleted part of my comment lol: they said he's no one to speak because of his relationship with the mother of his child and because of the songs he's written about them. This ofc, came from people who have only listened to cleaning out my closet and not headlights. They don't recognize people can change and grow etc.

I have heard this song probably 100s of times and i just caught that when he says "when u combine up here with the skin color of mine" hes not just saying he was held back by race but also speaking on how he got so much bigger than all the other rappers because of his race, another new em double for me

[@larryshair]

Nice catch!

[@tattoodude8946]

And in turn it also got him in more hot water because it put a bigger spotlight on him too (hence the lines that follow about getting censored on the Columbine references). So being a white rapper got him cut down in the black community in a lot of ways (especially early on but there are still people in the black community that look at him a token white guy), boosted him up in the white community and also put everything he said under a microscope. Other rappers were saying things that were just as controversial, but his lyrics got banned and got him kicked off radio channels and MTV. He was kicked around a lot for just who he is. Luckily he had the backing of Dre and that gave him a lot of cred.
