[@OldManMoko]

This is actually my favourite track on the Album. To me, it feels like this is one of the tracks that are made "for the culture" it feels old-school and fun, but more than that it pays respect to the greats that influenced em and made him and hip hop/rap what it is today, having it set on a busta sample was fantastic as well.

[@Streetecho07]

Thats when i like em the most We want these, not "those kinda nights' crap

[@Oatmilllk]

Fun fact, it's not a Busta sample, it's a Busta shout-out to pay homage because its actually Mr Porter (Denaun from D12 who produced this beat) imitating Busta, I fully believed it was Busta he did it so good

[@garbersa21]

Love the "keep going" during Black Thought's verse...I think it's Em's voice in the background at 6:57 yelling "keep going"

[@gregorylamb9651]

That's Em fan-boying out, I think. If he had features like this earlier in his career, there would be much less debate and hate. This album is the album he wanted to make, beats and features, without any of the bullshit politics involved because at this point he's so big that he can create what he wants without pressure from the puppet strings.

[@Darkstar_Dayne]

@@gregorylamb9651 He was having so much fun making this album that I can feel it in every track from Side A to B. But dude, Politics was an important of Hip Hop throughout the 80s and 90s, it was a way to express their issues to the world in music form. You can't blame Eminem for doing the same

[@acebongboy]

I think the Busta hook was included since this is an homage to old school. Loved Black Thought's bars. Awesome track all around.

[@BackyardButcher]

I agree! You have got to be on another level to dissect Black Thought. Because he will make your ass think LOL

[@ivanaleksandartsanev1693]

The hook was done by Denaun, also known as Mr Porter during the D12 days. Not a sample but definitely an homage and paying respect to Busta.

[@sandymfcheeks3012]

Absolutely and just outright telling the new generation that old school is better then new school.

[@dustinb1070]

So glad em and Royce squashed their beef in a way that allowed them to save their love and respect for each other.

[@JohnW704]

Black Thought snapped, thought that verse would be hard to beat... lol i swear i think Eminem heard his verse and was like "alright this what i gotta beat" cause they both killed it.

[@WhySoSerious1128]

Not to many know Big L. One of the best lyricist was lucky to meet him and hear freestyle on the streets.

[@semir9112]

The very beginning of the 1st verse is also a shoutout to Das EFX' "They want EFX".

@@r00b1XCu6E getting old sucks, doesn't it? 😆 I'm still teaching my youngest about the greats. He's ten. He's heard Eminem and is amiable about listening to him, but is way more into Linkin Park and Rage Against the Machine, which is cool by me. Speaking of RAtM, he asked if Killing in the Name Of was new, because it still absolutely applies to the last few years. He was sad to hear that shit's just as bad now as it was in the 80s. It's just more televised now than when I was a kid.

@@MegaKat yeah, getting older is a trip. He'll find timeless music is ubiquitous, that the sad truth is nothing changes essentially just social bandaids get changed.

Out of the hundred plus reactors I've watched, this guy is the most polished in the field. Knows when to go in depth if necessary but also points out the simple jabs that are worth mentioning. Sometimes I think to myself, I swear, this guy has instant access to a complete set of encyclopedias just coz he has such a wide range of knowledge on so many different levels. I'm very impressed with your work mrlboyd and I hope you continue this journey with us... but I gotta ask... please react to The Weeknd (full album reactions,) if you haven't already listened to his music. He has a die hard fan base that will flock by the thousands to your channel and he is one of the most unique individuals in almost every way imaginable. He is primarily an R&B artist that fuses all types of music but still stays true to his vision and he capitalizes every fucking time although I will warn you...he is quite out there, similar to eminem, his lyrics/message can get quite radical but that's what makes him appealing, at least in my opinion. Keep up the great quality of work and I hope you grant my request.
