The way Yela is talking about God as his best friend and then Em takes that same reverence and tone talking about his best friend Proof without breaking the immersion of the spiritual tone for people who are actually Christian. Also the end of Yela's first verse is one of the hardest God bars of all time. This is a super special song.

personally Eminem’s hardest bar is “and if I get killed for this rap, I got a million in cash, that says I will get you back, on Hailie’s name”

I feel I'm watching you guys grow as you continue on your journey reacting to Eminem tracks. He blows people's minds with is skill. How he can take a subject and create double and triple entendres then continue it verse after verse is just one example of his insane talent. It takes so many listens to catch the bars. When you think you have, you listen to it again and you're like 'dam how did I miss that' and he blows your mind again. Em's tracks are thinker tracks, you need world history, including in his life and in his bars. Not fully knowing who Gandhi is, Clint Eastwood, who Em's actual best friend is (was). You guys are still toddlers with his reactions but like I said you are growing with each track.

[@TheKARI31]

I actually just said that before I read your comment every other Bar is a double entendre but that’s kind of him and most of his music. I know he does a ton of triple entendres too its just crazy. 🙌🙌🙌

Love watching ya'lls Eminem reactions. Always a fan of them. One problem though.... I always hear the saying "I see why people say he's the GOAT." It's okay to admit it man. Join the rest of us Stans. LOL. He is the GOAT. Undebatable at this stage. Longevity, flow, cadence, bars etc. Eminem will have you rewinding the track 10 times because you caught the bar and wanna analyze it, and in doing so you caught 2 more things that previously went over you head. To truly understand Eminem you have to go into the song and tell yourself, "What is Eminem gonna teach me today? Because I'm ready to learn sir." A lot of people prefer other rappers and that's 100% okay. He's not everyone's cup of tea. However; you'd be lying to yourself if you ever say that someone does it better. Think about it....Dude called himself "RAP GOD" and literally no other rapper pushed back on that claim. Says it all. He has the respect of his peers to the fullest. "Two words: Michael Jordan". Love you guys. Keep it up.

Clint Eastwood is still making box office movies so the dude on the left should know who he is. I feel like he is the least knowledgable out of the group, but I think he is still the chillest. Close second is dude on the right aka the bar catcher.

[@Trepanation21]

"Clint Eastwood looking for peace" should have been "piece" in a lyric video, since that's the obvious slang and the top layer/starting point of the bar before you start digging beneath - the _pun_ of piece/peace is where the 2nd layer reference is to Clint's Peacemaker. So when he's "lookin for piece/peace", he's about to MAKE peace by pulling the gun and puttin em down. _Then_ the HHHs will recognize that Clint Eastwood at all in this song regards Proof which was aka "Derty Harry".

I love it when God gets hold of these really talented people! It is such a testimony to the power of God to not only redeem the broken, but then use that very talent to reach those that might not receive the Word from anyone else. Don't want to sound 'preachy', but God is real, He loves you and all you have to do is call out to Him and He will save you. This is proof that you don't have to be 'perfect' to be a Christian. He came to save the lost so that you can be found. Great song, great reaction! Blessings!!

[@michellewright3004]

Hey guys, great reaction to both artists and the song as a whole. Thought I’d let you guys know that Em is literally talking about his best friend, Proof. He mentions him in the line with Iggy Pop, Biggie, and Tupac. That’s the “best friend” Em is talking about but Yelawolf is referring to God as his “best friend”. If you go back and listen to it, from when he says “you’ll be DOA” to the end, you’ll get it. Oh and also, the Bible Belt consists of Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee, North Carolina, Virginia, and Northern parts of South Carolina and East TX. Yelawolf was born in Alabama and raised in Tennessee. Both very much the Heart of the Bible Belt.

As far as the bar heavy song in Em’s catalogue, Alfred’s Theme has to be at the top. It’s not sonically pleasing to everyone but that bowling scheme haunts my dreams still.

[@jaysea838]

Yes.. you keep thinking after every bar it has to be the last part of the scheme but it just keeps going. His word play / knowledge of words / general knowledge of so many different aspects is extremely impressive. People always attribute it to EM reading the dictionary but that is maybe a quarter of it. Someone could read a dictionary every day of their life and still not be able to put bars / verses together. You have to understand the meaning / context of the word and how it applies to whatever situation you are referencing. What makes it even more impressive is the man failed grade 9 3x and then dropped out of school for good. Yet he makes the majority of people look remedial with his general knowledge. EM deserves all the props that he gets; he has certainly put in the work / effort.

[@loneb9759]

I don't ever want you to stop doing Em reactions, but you have to react to Yellawolf "pop the trunk". It's the song that made Em sign him and his flow on that is crazy🔥🔥🔥

[@Averagemum85]

I have watched this video so many times purely for the last bars 😂 it gives me chills and makes me laugh every time when the guy literally falls off his chair. Absolute gold reaction ❤

[@swingamiss729]

When Em says “send you to see my best friend”, he’s talking about Proof. He was shot in Detroit back in 2000’s. He talks a lot about proof and dealing with that loss for him. Also, Proof is dope as hell on the mic too.

[@swingamiss729]

@Regular Blake nope

[@CL-pe4ll]

He is talking about sending you to his best friend... Whole song is about how God is their best friend. Try thinking once in a while

It’s October 7th 2022, y’all brothas keep me pushing💯💯. Keep reacting to em and his Arsenal....... Y’all helped me through a lot, and so did em. Just know Eminem’s lyrics are therapy to some people💯💯 thank you all for respecting Eminem’s legacy

[@psychobetha]

y’all are getting better with catching the bars 😃 people who don’t know his life/history will always miss some because they don’t have the context, like this being about his best friend Proof. the video helps in this case, because when Em says “who you think i’m talkin bout” he’s posed so that his Proof tattoo is front and center 😢

[@eoinmaguire6691]

This my favourite Eminem verse bar none the way he dilvered everything in his verse pure🔥🔥🔥 The way he put Proof in the booth with PAC n Biggie so much🔥🔥🔥 Respect from Dublin Ireland 👍🇮🇪🇺🇸🇮🇪 Bro I'm from Ireland and even I know Texas is the South 😂😂

[@thanossnap4170]

Even listening on headphones, the mix on "enemy surrounds you now" switches from left to right and back in your ears. It's so good! And yes, the Proof homage is amazing

[@mitchelltyler5972]

Mahatma Gandhi was ethnically Indian, but was born into (at the time) British-ruled India. He was actually a lawyer before discovering and implementing the teachings of Hinduism in what would be his prevailing strategy to end British rule in India.

[@Rosiepooh75]

This entire verse is doubles of things that Em makes sound the same... Absolute lyrical masterpiece. The lyrics in this case threw you off, because you were taking most lyrics at face value. ❤ some examples: "could have turned Dalai with the Llama" sounds like "could have turned Ali with the lama" - Muhammad Ali with the weapon "I've been a menace to" sounds like "I've been a minister" "'cause I'm a center" sounds like "I'm a sinner" read the "sounds like" in the context of the song, and you'll see what I mean

[@UnitedWeStan]

Eminem loves his homophones.

[@HipHop-vg7cd]

Exactly why I don't pull up the words until I've listened to how he pronounces the words in all of his songs first. Gotta truly listen several times before I even think about looking up the lyrics. Em is always teaching or schooling ya lol.

[@SJRS700]

thats why em the goat, this man does not say straight things, if you think you understand every bar, you are in for a treat because there is a whole song in a song, that has double meaning and that still makes sense

[@loizos3918]

12:33 "...for the people I've been a menace to" - menace sounds like "minister" That's why on the following line he says "Not a preacher" (as in not what you heard, not a minister), "but a shit starter and finisher" (as in menace) One of his greatest bars ever imo...

[@Maxximum_]

Holy shit

[@deathbloom27]

I absolutely love y'all's reactions because the first time I listened to it i was alone and had no one to share it with but this is HOW I FELT. I just slid to the floor like WTF did i just listen to?! I literally waited hours for my dad to get home just to have someone to share it with. He's an old school Christian, rap is NOT his thing. Don't get me wrong, he had a great reaction to it but he can't understand the lyricism and metaphors and double entendre. I'm so thankful I can at least watch yeah react to it 😂

[@MRyLGy]

Not understanding that the second half of Eminems verse was a tribute to his best friend Proof and member of his rap group D12, that was murdered, is disappointing because its one of the hardest tributes ever.. The line about 2pac, Biggie & Proof talking and the end of the verse when hes talking about who he pulls his strength from and saying "And he'll be waiting at the gate when you get sprayed up, sending you hoes straight up to deal with my (best friend)" hes talking about his bestfriend Proof, not God.

[@jaydee7026]

I'm not gonna lie that went over my head too. Now that I know it hits very differently. That's hard ASF!!

The bars about Clint Eastwood is that as an actor, Clint portrays a rough guy, who looks for peace, but trouble always finds him and he’s not afraid to take it on, but always shows remorse for the bad shit he has to do to take it on, and looks for forgiveness for the things he’s done in the name of good. He’s a soldier, who does bad things in the name of good.

He also smokes everyone who gets in his way, tho? Lol Used to watch his movies with my father when i was kid, but i dont remember much of them

When he says "...for the people I've been a menace to.." 'menace to' can be read as 'minister', then he says "not a preacher, but a shit starter..." Dude has double entendres on top of metaphors for days.. most people catch about 1/8 of his wordplay. Love your channel fellas! Keep it up.

[@coreywindom7674]

This is probably his most bar heavy verse, ive heard it a million times and i still think there are bars I have missed... Stevie Knight, a reactor that is known for breaking down bars, just gave up on this verse and said "fuck it"
