I WAS SLEEP! 🔥 | Yelawolf & Eminem - "BEST FRIEND" |

[@brothamilktoast32]

I've heard this song no less than 100 times, and I still get goosebumps when Em ramps it up at the end. Absolute 🔥. 🐐

[@camillestinson3187]

Me too

[@breoannacarter]

I swear everytime

[@thejerg]

It's the way the instrumental starts to build, and he just gets louder and faster and it just locks you in

[@Jesse.George]

me too haha

[@marclawrence2457]

Same!!

[@o.CSM.o]

Eminem’s verse being an entire double for God & Proof as his ‘best friend’. There were so many other layered bars in this - references to the Bible in his verse (armor)… He really did Proof justice with this verse, which funnily enough on Em’s Recovery album Eminem says: “For you, I wanna write the sickest rhyme of my life So sick it'll blow up the mic, It'll put the "dyna" in mite” And I truly think he did just that in this verse. Punchlines, cadence, homonyms, flow switches, production… the verse is married perfectly to Yela’s hook.

[@logankingwolf7966]

You're the only other person I've seen that gets this. Thank God I'm not crazy

[@__D-B__]

He's definitely talking about Proof. After he says "Who you think I'm talkin bout, lifts me up when I'm down and out, still look to him without a doubt"... he stands there showing his forearm with his PROOF tattoo.

[@BurgoYT]

@@__D-B__yes and to have proof is to be ‘without a doubt’

[@bomboclaat1509]

I dunno if Eminem is going for god, but yellawolf is definitely talking about his best friend, god. Eminem is talking about his best friend in the “same place” as god, so they’re able make both their parts of the song sync so well. Because death and god are most certainly related.

[@shawnwilliams4358]

a center is a position in football he is the player who snaps the ball to the quarterback. that line was FIRE!!!!

[@kobakareli]

Don’t sleep on Yelawolf. Absolute fire, he can sing and boooy he can rap

[@falem01]

that whole freestyle's for the TMZ3 promo are fire 🔥🔥

[@xerise1]

Em is one of a kind. We will never have someone like him again.

[@JelenaMladenovic-r4i]

Never!

[@dandieabbott5409]

💯 Facts

[@INTEL_CORE_INSIDE]

Never ever. When Eminem will be gone i will be sad forever

[@freddyfish835]

@@INTEL_CORE_INSIDE he will forever live through his music. he's not called rap god for nothing. he's immortal.

[@thiagomendonca2701]

this makes me happy and sad at the same time

[@josephtylerdc9830]

Its like Em starts levitating when he goes into this mode.. he really is the rap god. A truly remarkable and one of a kind individual.

[@anfieldlegend8767]

yela got BARS!! most underrated artist out there.. he sings rock country literally anything and he's a rap god too.. fr one of the best talents in the music industry. i urge everybody to check out To whom it may concern yela tells his whole story in that..

[@chriskellyGolf79]

The way you both react at the end of Ems verse is exactly how I feel everytime I hear this track.

[@inwiththeknew]

This song demonstrates a masterclass in flow and double entendre, story. This is slept on but literally one of the best verses in rap history

[@Brooklyn_Zo]

This is one of Em's Top 5 Versus. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@daiinialy9643]

To this day I stand by this verse being the best verse I've ever heard and his best feature verse

[@kimberlyflowers3449]

Eminem produced this. Yela heard Em’s verse, thought it was perfect & didn’t want anything competing w/ it so he decided not to rap and we got a masterpiece! ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

[@URxDADDI3]

Imo Em's best verse everything is perfect. Flow, delivery, rhyme schemes, punch lines. You can feel the emotion. 🔥 Em 🐐

[@AmazingJaze]

This song is great. It's one of Eminem's best 3 hidden gems. (Hidden in that it never went viral or had radio play) In the future I think you guys would love hidden gems 2 & 3 which are "Believe" and "Kings Never Die" by Eminem. Super talented writing on both that will make you giddy.

[@giovannigio3764]

I also like "No apologies."

[@Michal2SAB]

That must be wrong. I swear best friend is like one of the songs that yelawolf is most known for. It used to be on the radio long time ago

[@mbwanatoba115]

I agree with kings never die.. On That song Eminem poured his skills

[@jamescurrie7678]

Kings never die is a masterpiece

[@pascalfortin2374]

king never die !!!!

[@jayaguilar2730]

Many years ago me and my boys would sit for hours breaking down Eminem verses and be mind blown… crazy to see this still happening.. great job guys

[@kobakareli]

Dr.Dre - Medicine Man featuring Anderson Paak and Eminem, absolute fire. One of Em’s hardest guest verses, up there with Best Friend

[@inyamers8532]

Biterphobia just popped up on my algorithm. In my opinion it has the best Em line, ever. When I heard it, I immediately realized what Dre saw/heard to sign him. You really go "what the fk did he just say??"

[@Kimmielove70]

That Clint eastwood line….👏👏👏🩷 Clint called his gun the peacemaker 🔥🔥🔥🔥💃

[@SuperHns]

plus Clint Eastswoord is dirty harry and Proof's nick name was also Dirty Harry

[@gamesguitarsandcars]

This is one of Em's best imo. Heard this song SOO many times yet still in awe over the entire thing.

[@kdizzle901]

I agree so many lyrics go over peoples heads

[@colee61200]

Arguably the best Em feature of all time!

[@warshallwathers7971]

*Bro in 2015 Em was SPAZZING like his life depended on it! This and his verse on that Dr. Dre song “Medicine Man” are arguably his best features of all time 😮‍💨🔥*

[@benjaminbricco9860]

Eminem is actually saying his higher power is Proof. Anyways thank you for finally doing this. One of his best Verses imo. Keep up great work!

[@jbad1642]

I thought they would of picked up on that. But easily missed. They get a shot of his proof tattoo

[@adriangab9829]

‘Still talk to him without a doubt’.. when u have no doubt u have proof. Em’s a crazy wordsmith.

[@gaspuno]

I always wait for reaction channels to catch that Em is talking about Proof but unfortunately some never do 😂

[@shaunrichards4821]

Em could be talking about god. at the same time on use this gosippl track he praises Jesus

[@benjaminbricco9860]

@@shaunrichards4821 It shows his tattoo of Proof on his arm when he says it. So pretty sure its about him n not God. Maybe both.

[@gatornation1209]

Goosebumps everytime I hear this, maybe Em's best verse. RIP to Proof

[@NateAde]

The way EM gives you goosebumps every single time... needs to be studied.

[@ErmelindoBarreto]

One of the hardest logic double triple entendres ever, smoth and the flow, wow. Portugal here for the Goat Eminem always since day one and forever. Thanks for reacting to this legendary masterpiece. Salutes and respect.

[@jesselee128able]

@12:15 flawd lookin legit pissed at how hard that syllable clip bar was hahaha

[@AdamM]

Would love some more Yelawolf too. Love this song but he’s got so much more that shows off his talent even more.

[@johnachenbach4039]

More Yela!! Dude can do it all. Y'all Gotta dive more into his catalogue!

[@passthaherbb]

Yelawolf is so good man, Opie Taylor, Row Your Boat, Don’t Need A Cup, Catfish Billy, Rowdy, That’s What We On Now, Daylight, You And Me, Bounce and Till It’s Gone…. Wicked tracks from a variety of his albums. Also Yelawolf for me is a master of a catchy hook, something to look out for…

[@ChristopherWard-ki3zd]

Til it's gone is one of all time greatest songs of any genre...yes the hick from Bama is sick wit it!

[@ChristopherWard-ki3zd]

The unless your my belly BUDDEN DONT TELL ME NUTTIN...line..is referring to Joe Budden critiquing Em

[@nfamusxistence7934]

Don’t forget Pop the Trunk

[@graysong828]

This is seriously one of Em’s most slept on collabs. Crazy bars and wordplay as the perfect tribute to his best friend

[@chriskellyGolf79]

RIP Proof! The GOAT did his best friend proud with that epic verse

[@BarryMcKockinner21]

Yep…. He basically blended “Center” and “Sinner” into the same word 🔥

[@pala1blood240]

Em's delivery is just rapgod tier bro 😮

[@fletcha7777]

@Flawd TV what makes it even more incredible is that Eminem produce this BEAT ! Absolute 🔥

[@taylorludwig32]

This song is on the Playlist for my friends group when we have a big party! Em did the most on this song because its dedicated to Proof. Still gives me chills everytime I hear it. 💯🙌🏻🔥🔥

[@EmpathizeVortex]

"who you think im talking bout? lifts me up when im down and out,still look to him without A doubt. still got a best friend" hes talking about proof and literally gives the definition of the word

[@Zomb1eDawgMC]

Love watching people discover some of my fave tracks for the first time. If you want to dive into Yelawolf check out " till it's gone", " pop the trunk ", or anything off love story is a good start.

[@aprilboxton2284]

Without a doubt??!! Definition of PROOF!

[@Keithjmcc]

I never even thought of that

[@normie2716]

Damn, I farted.

[@mike_0213]

A lot of people (including myself) feel that this could be one of if not the best verse from Eminem. I love your reactions guys, you guys really break down the bars and the meanings. FYI: The CENTER in football "snaps" the ball.

[@Ranganation]

In my opinion, Medicine Man is up there on par with Best Friend🙌

[@leerobbo92]

FFS. It takes about 50 listens to catch all the double entendres and metaphors. Honestly believe this is in the top 5 most well-written and executed lyrics ever.

[@psych00range]

I didn't even catch the Sinner/Center part until this video. I didn't connect it at all. Crazy I'm hearing new stuff years later.

[@robertcabrera4760]

40+ year old Em is just different. He has truly separated himself from the rest of the pack. He's God mode with guys like Black Thought, MosDef n others.

[@vendelbo3869]

As a huge Yelawolf fan for about 6 years I still to this day believe he is the most slept on rapper of all. Give more of his work a try. Eminem bodied this one and in my book Em's best verse of all time.

[@idahohello3885]

Arguably Em’s best verse all time. Glad y’all discovered this

[@memoriadispositio]

Cloreceptic Remix, Believe, Infinite, Square Dance = 🔥

[@yakzilla3086]

This is the most you guys have ever had to pause, break down, and replay EVER. And it's 100% worth it, this is Ems best verse EVER. The entire song is crazy. The cadence, flow, bars, doubles and triples, and the damn beat! Great reaction! Only missed one bar- "Could've turned Dalai (ALI) with the Llama." Meaning hit you (Like ALI the boxer...) with every shot or bullet from his gun (Or lyric he spits)- The LLAMA (slang for gun.) So that is a goddamn triple! LOVE YOUR WORK!

[@adriangab9829]

‘Still talk to him without a doubt’…when you have no doubt u have proof. Crazy wordplay.

[@pallew]

Awesome! I heard this song way before it blew up on Yela's album. It was crazy to just have a random Em appear and spit this out of nowhere. Yela is DOPE - we need more of him! You guys should check out his freestyle Bloody Sunday

EMs best verse for real he talks about Proof and the tripple and doubles are fire, Yellawolf heard that shit and was like fuck it Imma sing

[@kojo-the-boss]

Em was talking about proof

[@loopylitty3283]

That’s wild to be honest this man does the unthinkable

[@jaysRP420]

legit tears from this song man i love em so much he connects with my emotions more than anybody

[@StyleX22]

In my opinion this is Eminem's best verse of his career. He might have better rhyme schemes or punchlines in other verses (even though they are absolutely amazing here too) but to me it's the fact that it's not purely a technical verse. There's tons of emotion and soul in this and that's why it hits you so hard.

[@stuartmccormick3977]

It's up there for sure, but Ems third verse on Sing For The Moment is the one imo.

[@StarWarsExpandedUniverse]

Y’all need to listen to Yelawolf’s TM3 album. Nearly the entirety of the album is a certified banger!!!!
