Eminem's Walk On Water REACTION!! BREAKDOWN! ANALYSIS!

[@mr.paulino9318]

You're the only guy who fully understands how deep this song is. Its definitely more than music. It's art.

[@joshuaha7661]

This song, along with many others, will be studied in classrooms 100 years from now. Guaranteed.

[@oj818]

It's not the best from Eminem but I don't get how is this bad It is totally a masterpiece and just cause em made it , lets hate it

[@davidortega9717]

Finally someone who gets it! I think the reason so many people think it's trash is because this new generation is so damn lazy, that they've never really felt the fear or pressure of failing someone or something.

[@UnabashedlyReggie]

+david ortega AMEN

[@jennag3226]

Correct. Most of them haven't experienced life enough to relate to just the lyrics alone. Which this song is all about. They're just waiting for the beat to drop the entire time and think something that is basically just poetry is boring. Sometimes it feels like the true meaning of rap is being lost bc sadly, a lot of adults feel the same as the younger demographic. I've watched plenty of reviews of this track that have said "Wait...wheres the beat? This was boring." Those are the people that haven't been through any shit in their life.

[@ak-jxrdy-7]

@david ortega As someone from the new generation who is a dedicated fan of real rap like this, I agree with what you said about this generation being lazy and not being able to relate to the message. Just that I understand rap music, most of its literary techniques (rhyme schemes, wordplay, flow, etc.) used in them and I can appreciate great writing. Mainstream music is just terrible and ruining what actual rap used to be.

[@ak-jxrdy-7]

@@jennag3226 That's true and it's truly annoying how people these days care more about instrumental than the lyrics. I can't even have discussions with my friends about the writing aspect other than them catching references or simple wordplay here and there.

[@user-wn2sw5zm7m]

And they want a beat to jam to

[@ImmortalAbsenon]

This channel has the best break down for lyrics on KZbin. Great job, as usual.

[@UnabashedlyReggie]

+IMMORTAL ABSENON Thanks! Means a lot!

[@elhametefaghi3263]

It took me a long time to find this channel. He is the best

[@DaSkarekrow]

This song is so deep and so prophetic because when this song and Revival came out, a lot of his own fans weren't happy with the CD..... I love the content, personal songs are always more impressive to me than just showing me you got skills... I wasn't disappointed with the CD, but I definitely understand what he is feeling, like in the last verse of "Bad Guy" (which is one of his greatest verse ever)... he basically explain his fear as in this song Walk on Water.... He knows the spotlight one day won't be as bright as his glory days.... but I still love his music and Kamikazi really showed he still have every ounce of his talent left, just needed to refuel that fire

[@mehulrai9408]

U never disappoint man

[@Real_masontroyadams]

Dude I been watching u for a while and honestly, you need to blow up. Eminem is such a hot button talking point these days, but people should have SOME understanding of what he DOES before they dismiss his content.

[@onlyonecaca]

Preach 🙌🏻

[@azzurriblue65]

"I won't pout or cry" also goes with that closing five syllable scheme. Great breakdown

[@joshuaha7661]

"Rap god" was meant to be tongue in cheek. Not taken seriously, its just Eminem having fun. Then kids started calling him god and he was very uncomfortable with that.

[@djputt1]

Dude I honestly say you are the only person who puts in the real hard work to break down rap! Everyone else is reaction videos which isn’t the same. I fully appreciate what you do, keep up the awesome work!

[@UnabashedlyReggie]

Thanks, means a lot !

+Luke Daniel I'm glad I can help ;)

[@amelieg.french6488]

This song is so poetic, specially the first verse. It sounds like a perfect french poem. He says a lot in few words. Thank's for the color code on 4 syllables rhymes. It's one of my favourite writing patterns of this artist. He masters the art of assembling so well !

[@Blakefulable]

Someone posted this on the eminem reddit, good job man. Earned another subscriber even though I know all the meanings for his songs, you're dope. Keep it up. Little tip: Don't push subbing/liking so hard at the start, do witty call outs inbetween verses hinting people to do it, feels incredibly awkward when the first thing someone wants us to do is sub, like, give money etc. Ta!

[@UnabashedlyReggie]

+Blakefulable That's a great point. I'm just basing it off other KZbinrs and how they do it. But yes, next time I will try pushing the Patreon only a little later (which I did after the second verse). Thanks.

[@onlyonecaca]

@@UnabashedlyReggie u always do a good job. I agree with Blake about it being weirs... BUT your content is SO detailed, easy to understand and organized.....people will sub. If they don't, they're idiots. Love your work reggie. Keep it up!

[@onlyonecaca]

When I listen to this song....I feel bad. Like I want to hug eminem and remind him that he's loved by millions of us. I feel a deep connection bc he shows us how human he really is and ...hes always been vulnerable but walk on water is like reading his diary. If you ever read my comment eminem....I love you, keep your head up!

[@thealjohnsonshow2188]

Thank you for breaking this song down. For the life of me, I will never ever understand nor comprehend the hatred this song receives. To me, it's easily one of his greatest songs ever because of how mature it is. I LOVE this song. Anyway, do you think you can do a reaction and analysis to Em's verse from Calm Down with Busta Rhymes?

[@madisonrose1893]

i cried a couple of times listening to it. i can't believe how people could hate on such a vulnerable song. my favourite thing about em is he's always honest. thank you for breaking it down for us. great job

[@alexmercer7970]

you totally described me when you said "i felt guilty", i feel you. when kamikaze drops in my country (Turkey, which i think eminem forgot) i'll buy 2 revivals with it

Eminem overdosed on dec 7th 2007 10 years ago and his new album is revival rumoured to be released on 8th December, coincidence?

[@UnabashedlyReggie]

+iPoPxuDRoPxX I didn't think of that. But it's probably not a coincidence. Since with the R letter it goes with Relapse and Recovery which are tied to his drug abuse.

This is my favorite breakdown video in your channel or any other. Very interesting. It made me feel kinda sad though. Anyway, thanks.

[@UnabashedlyReggie]

Thanks! What made you feel sad?

[@luzcastro2258]

Just the meaning of the song, and how you felt about it, being one of the people who didn't like some of his lattest work (at that time). But at least you are respectful, I think Eminem appreciate that kind of criticism, but a lot of people do it just to bring him down, maybe hopping he retired even when he is trying so hard. I think many of us can relate to the meaning of the song.

[@UnabashedlyReggie]

Agreed!

[@identitycreative4547]

At the end of the Phenomenal video. He drops from a Helicopter into a seemingly soft part of the top level of the building eventually falling onto the stage with Dre saying write on time. The hat is in the start of the Walk on Water Video. I feel like Walk on Water are very similar perhaps a deeper connection

[@dexknightdexknight2418]

I never bashed eminem once. If I did it was to not start an argument that would lead to blood loss and homicide. Think about new rap. They just put lyrics together with no thought. Em searches words that has a point. Very different than 99% of this new era trash. Peace yo nice review

[@huro1845]

Tyler the Creator trashing this song makes me wonder. As you said, most humans probably relate to this feeling of pressure and fear of failure, but he as a musician should understand it. Maybe he is not a veryself-reflecting artist, or just hasn't been making music long enough. Anyway, I love this song.

[@cheese7960]

I thought the shouting on the recovery album was appropriate and is a main reason of why I like it so much. In songs in the mmlp2 I didn’t think very highly of it. In songs like Berzerk, the lead single, as soon as you start the song, eminem is screaming into your ears and it’s just uncomfortable. I think the difference between why one works and the other doesn’t is that the recovery album is fueled by emotion. It is his comeback album and he is showing that he is back. He is shouting out his inner demons. In songs like Almost Famous, 25 to Life, Not Afraid, it would be weird if he was just using a calm voice while covering those topics. But in Berzerk, Headlights, etc it just doesn’t make sense why he is screaming into the mic

[@UnabashedlyReggie]

+Eat Shit I do agree with you, it made less sens in MMLP2.

[@homanshusharma2095]

Nah it made sense because that whole song was actually a Beastie Boys tribute. Search it up!

[@cheese7960]

Can Arat it’s not full of shouting, but the tracks with shouting are out of place. Not to take anything away from MMLP2 but Recovery is a better album. You don’t have to agree with me but 3 reasons: 1. Song topics. In Recovery, Eminem isn’t just rapping for the sake of rapping. (Almost) all songs on the album have a definite purpose, where the songs are meaningful. And it’s not all the same as well. You have Not Afraid, obviously his comeback song where he displays that he is back and has shed his drug addiction that caused his slump. Cold Wind Blows, is kind of his “I’m Still Shady” song where he covers his undesirable welcome back into the rap game. “Going Through Changes” details the struggles he went through and where he has been over his 5 years of absence. I won’t go through everything, but there is 25 to life, Space Bound, You’re Never Over, No Love, Almost Famous, etc. In MMLP2 to topics are less meaningful, less clear, and less frequent. There are songs like “Headlights” and “Legacy” that serve a clear purpose but songs like Baby, Berzerk, Rhyme or Reason, not bad songs btw, are just not on the same tier. 2. It is Eminem’s true Comeback album. This one is pretty straightforward. Relapse was obviously released before Recovery, and while being a good album, it was still not a “comeback” album because of the tone of the project. Not Saying these are the only good songs whatsoever, but the only songs that really felt like “oh shit Eminem is back” were Underground, and obviously his verse in Forever in Refill. Compare that to Recovery, and there is a clear difference. Recovery is able to capture that feeling and harness it to an extreme. The only other Eminem Album that I feel was really fueled by emotion was the original MMLP, while the SSLP, Relapse and TES still had there own feel to it. The MMLP2 has no feel to it and it detracts from the album. As side from his new flow, there isn’t much unique about the album. 3. This is pretty simple, but Recovery does more with less songs then the MMLP2. The MMLP2, while containing some serious gems, has a fair share of throw away tracks, and while Recovery has some as well (Won’t Back Down, Untitled), the overall % of serviceable tracks in Recovery is simply higher then the of MMLP2 (15/17 Recovery tracks, 15/21 MMLP2 tracks) With all this being said and the effort i went through to make this ridiculous comment, I’ll just give u my full rankings 1. The Eminem Show (10/10) 2. MMLP (9.5/10) 3. SSLP (8.8/10) 4. Recovery (8.5/10) 5. MMLP2 (8/10) 6. Relapse (7.5/10) 7. Encore (6.1/10) 8. Infinite (6/10)

[@imthebookworm]

Eat Shit have you listened to Revival yet? If you have, where would you rank it?

[@cheese7960]

Karny A Karny A (Sorry, this is gonna be long) is sadly, I would put it dead last. While Encore definitely had some worse tracks then revival, revival really had no redeeming qualities outside of 3 songs. Framed is fun, but not really a great song, and Castle and Arose is one of the best back to back song combinations ever, but I don’t think it outweighs mockingbird, toy Soldiers, mosh, evil Deeds, YBR, never Enough, Love you More, Ricky Ricky tock. Another reason why I have Encore higher is that even Encore’s bad songs are still funny.. I can’t deny that even as disgusting as Puke is or as annoying as Just lose it is, I still laugh every time I listen to those songs. Revival just really doesn’t sound like himself. All three times I listened to the album I thought to myself, “is this someone pretending to be eminem?” The three songs I mentioned were the ones that really sounded like him, framed as a Relapse song and Castle and Arose sounding like they were straight out of Recovery. The production throughout the album was by far the worst of his career. The pop features Made me want to puke. The rare playful songs were so damn corny that I couldn’t stand them (“your booty is heavy duty like diarrhe”). Overall, I’m gonna take words from another video I watched and say that “Eminem is someone who can clearly rap, but makes bad rap music”. As much as I want to like the album, it just fell flat on its face for me. This is the first time I have truly felt that Eminem has fallen off TES 10/10 MMLP 9.7/10 SSLP 9/10 Recovery 8.8/10 MMLP2 8.5/10 Relapse 7.8/10 Infinite 6.3/10 Encore 6/10 Revival 4/10
