Awesome breakdown again bro. Loved this one! One of my favorite Em tracks and you caught stuff I've been missing this whole time! Please check out Eyedea and Abilities, really anything by them is awesome. Maybe start with "Smile" kzbin.info/www/bejne/sGqQln6eeNqejZo

[@pitakytovec9695]

There’s a little thing Knox missed here. When Em says the “123, 123, 123” thing, he acually says it on 1:23 in the song. He’s a maniac😂🔥🔥🔥

Also says 1+2+3=6 repeat that 3x then you know what that means

​​@@vidarwiklund8157he is. And almost everybody missunderstand it. Funny and annoying at the same time

This song is a fucking masterpiece man. Relapse Em is the most artistic Em, and people still dare trash it to this day

[@dumphyrig5439]

True

[@elikokke6692]

It’s a good album but as a fan I think it’s one of his lesser albums. Buts that my humble opinion 🙈

[@andyjames904]

Relapse is the only Eminem's album I dislike

[@deviousraul]

@@andyjames904 why?

[@JPH3]

@@andyjames904 but not encore lol. Relapse is 3x better than it

[@paulwidmann7758]

It could be about his addiction too. “Look a little closer isn’t that us on that poster” The cover-art of Relapse is Em’s face made of pills

[@MRR-my2yl]

Agreed 💯🔥

[@Dezzyyx]

why would a poster exist as he made the song, the album wasn't done yet

[@nattyyonas3381]

Damn never thought of that, it makes sense🔥

[@michaelbettisworth8938]

I always thought it was about addiction on a few levels. Talks about a rehab cycle

[@Kiki-xx3fj]

@@Dezzyyx it did exist. Relapse was supposed to be 2 albums released separately.

As a father, I can appreciate that father - daughter moment here man. Keep doing what you your doing. Also keeping priorities in check ✔️ thanks for sharing this side of you knox 💯

[@Odd_Endeavors]

A loving father and a top tier artist who appreciates others work. You’re an inspiration, Knox 👍

[@ghidrah76]

It’s amazing coming back to this song after The Death of Slim Shady. This must have been his second shot trying to get rid of Shady. And now the third shot happens in Guilty Conscience 2… Eminem is a genius!

[@jivanshc6279]

Please do Underground from this album… That song is insanely amazing. One of his most underrated tracks.

[@SuperGuldo]

its just a song about nothing. thats one of the reasons its ,,underated''

[@dawidziolko1151]

Yeah and He should do be careful what you wish for

[@Dezzyyx]

@@SuperGuldo it's not about nothing, it's a battle rap song which is a typical concept in hip-hop, finding different ways to say how dope he is and how he can kill anyone with rhymes

[@SuperGuldo]

@@Dezzyyx bro its about nothing. not every song is super deep

[@Dezzyyx]

@@SuperGuldo I didn't say it was "super deep", I said the opposite. Go check wikipedia for "Braggadocio". It's a concept, so when you say it's about nothing, that makes you wrong. It may not be deep, but it's made for a reason.

[@slackerlitgeek]

"Dad time comes first." 100%, Knox. Good man. Love your vids. Keep it up.

[@dylancooper4993]

I’m glad you liked the song! It’s always been one of my favorite underrated Eminem songs. I always interpreted the demonic voice as drugs itself (or Eminem on drugs) encouraging him to go back on the pills. There’s lines like “isn’t that us on that poster?” where the album cover is Eminem with drugs and the overall message. He’s calling to Shady, because the argument is that drugs fuel Shady

[@joshuahelminiak4088]

I see it as Eminem trying to break away from his contract with the devil

[@jessedavis1741]

It definitely represents Eminem vs shady, how the devil is singing the last verse then it suddenly switches to Eminem’s voice!!!

[@conradmontes2004]

Yo Knox your songs keep getting better the one in the intro is crazy as shit that flow was ridiculous, keep it up man you’re an MC!!

[@nickt463]

First time I heard this my first thought was his addiction. The voice is most definitely addiction talking to him. Shady gives into his addiction which is why his addiction wants Shady back. Every time I hear this masterpiece it gives me chills. No one could describe the control addiction has over your life better than Em has done. The end where Em and his addiction are rapping at the same time perfectly shows how we are responsible for our own negative thoughts and actions.

[@thorkagemob1297]

You can also view it as the devil talking to him

[@Dezzyyx]

addiction definitely fits as the whole album was a metaphor for him to express and exercise his demons (addictions) and move on to Recovery

[@MrDonpasqualino]

References to selling his soul, having a contentious conversation with an entity outside of himself that identifies itself as a spirit, subtle references to 666, regret about the cost of achieving his dream of fame and fortune. It's not about addiction. Although I do appreciate the indication that Dre was inline with the spirit.

[@annother3350]

Dont be so foolish. He keeps remimdomg us how he's sold his sould and that he can't kill a spirit. It's demonic - - satanic. The whole flipping industry is built upon satanism ffs!!

[@SpiderJAAM]

10:11 probably one of the dopest facts about this song is that not only he does the 666 with the 123, 123, 123, but also he says it at the minute 1:23 of the song *bruh* I love this song, probably my favorite of relapse with Stay Wide Awake, I love the whole concept of Eminem Vs. The Devil (the devil being his drug addiction) narrative.

[@JPH3]

And when he stutters right before that, “it g-g-goes” an upside down g looks like a 6, three g’s…

[@firefighter3829]

At 1:23 of the song he says the 123 line. Genius

[@freddyfish835]

i really rish knox woulda caught that

[@Verycursed]

The way he brakes down songs is second to none AND he does sick music

[@Goldenman6288]

[@paulorourke6147]

I love the creative side to relapse, it's so deep. Knox as always fantastic breakdown. This album is surprising even Knox. I love this album, just like the way I love revival album as we can see Eminem on that album take it to another technical level. Can't wait until the next reaction!

[@Ginaarceci]

My son got me into this song when he was 11 years old. He was so proud of himself for being able to rap it word for word. I decided to listen to it and it's been easily one of my favorites ever since. That was over 10 year's ago. Em, is an untouchable lyricist, the way he can switch flows, twists and bends word's with ease just blows my mind. So glad you broke down this song!

[@M0nZt3rR]

This is one of Em's most amazing song, absolutely love your break down on this one. I gotta also add that seeing you having "Dad time" with one of your girls was the best part of the video for me because that was how I always wished my own dad acted, but instead I got an asshole of a father instead of a dad. In my eyes you are the BEST DAD in the world! Thanks for not cutting that out

[@ДавранГултаев]

Amazing breakdown as always. Please do breakdown for "Legacy" from MMLP2! That's when Eminem sticks to the one single cadence throughout the WHOLE song! Won't stop telling you until you do that:). Best wishes from Kazakhstan🇰🇿!

[@littyonatity]

Out of all his songs this one had always been my number one favorite song by Eminem. The conscious fighting back and forth, his syllables and of course his cadence to the rhythms and flow. No other song by him gave me as much goosebumps as this song did when I first heard it. Thanks for breaking this song down brotha. Been waiting for someone to break this song down. Was shocked so many Eminem Fans either never heard this song before or did but how can you not have. You ain’t no Stan if this song isn’t in ur top fav Eminem songs

[@TJSlinkerton69]

One of the hardest hitting lines to me that I think Knox missed was “Ain’t even sure if your kids like you” Sadge

[@dingdong9884]

2nd best thing to Knox releasing his own tunes on Saturdays is a deep dive breakdown! Can’t wait to watch this one later!

[@jeremylowry9902]

You always ask us to let you know if we think you're onto something or reaching. With the 123 123 123 line I think you're reaching. Love the reactions/channel. Been around for a long time.

[@rebel_130]

Such an amazing song, one of his best for sure. Love your reactions especially the Em ones, you are the BEST Eminem reactor out there, you break his songs down so well, respect 🙏

[@biancacolcea3706]

I looove this track! One of my favorites! I always took the demonic voice as being fame or the rap game in general, because he didn't sell his soul to Shady, he "sold his soul" to the game. Haven't finished the video yet so I'm eager to see what you make of it:)

[@steenfridberg7036]

You're incredible at telling about Em, so it's not us Stans who understand him but also everyone else who understands where he's coming from GOAT

Knox, you are Necessary. This track was a lot of fun, but now it feels much deeper.

[@FarazKhan-dr5ow]

Dunno if you will read this, but the "devil" represents the drug addiction. This line "Isn't that us on that poster" explains that, since it's on Relapse and the album poster had Eminem's face drawn out of pills.

[@claytruant2330]

One of my favorite aspects of this track is that it goes all the way back to the The Slim Shady EP with references. The demonic voice in this one is similar to the one used to represent Shady in the EP Intro. The EP Intro also has him shattering a mirror while talking to a demonic voice through it. In this one the demonic voice begins by saying "Shady" while in the EP Intro the demonic voice begins by saying "Eminem." Hell, the underlying concept between this song and the EP Intro is very similar overall.
