[Industry Ghostwriter] Reacts to: Eminem- Bad Guy (REACTION)- INSANE STORY TELLING. AND THAT ENDING?

Talk about a masterpiece. Eminem came full circle with Stan and closed out this chapter perfectly. Yes I know I late to the party but this was awesome to finally hear. Eminem went vintage shady for us and vintage Marshall Mathers in the same song. That bridge out was insane.

I've heard this 200 times and I still get chills at that last verse. In my opinion easily top 5 verses he's ever had.

[@jeffdickerson19861]

Absolutely

[@jeffdickerson19861]

I debate with myself about putting at #1 simply for the fact that it was so honest and personal.. the way he hid it all behind the last verse.. the way it faded out.. all that shit.. but Therese too many other verses that I can’t demote.. best friend..the way I am.. white america.. it goes on and on..

[@jamesrichardson381]

The way he brings that voice and that stuff towards the end is yet another example of how a lot of so called rappers need to take a step back and realize they just simply can't compete. Not with hi storytelling and certainly not with his writing and imagination. Still gives me chills.

[@andreacollins3204]

[@AwetisticlyPerfect]

just wait until you see my skill, im growing my pen game every day, im gonna peak when i die!

[@KaleEmAll]

It's a sequel to Stan, while also being about Em's anxiety about his career, while also being about trying to keep Shady bottled because he's matured past that and wants to be more conscious and serious in his writing because he knows his career is on a timer now. It's literally the rare "perfect" track for any artist. It's up there with Stan and a few others in terms of tracks that my grandchildren will hear one day and ask how it was to hear that when it was released.

[@notforone]

The ringing in your ears - He had really bad tinnitus for a while; the ringing in his ears/head was so loud, to the point he couldn't hear himself over the music and had to put 'extra midrange' in his vocals (which lead to fans complaining about why he was shouting/MGK's Why you yelling at the mic?)

[@papachiefo]

The line about him driving around for 9 fricken hours and 45 minutes now at 3:10 or so into the song, that line is such a crazy line. Eminems discography up until this album, and this is the first song on the album, was 9 hours and 45 minutes.

Because someone as famous as he is being this open and vulnerable is pretty fucking emotional.. it’s inspiring but it’s kind of sad too..

This is such an overlooked masterpiece, I absolutely loooove this song so much, it doesn’t matter how many times I listen to this song, I get chills every time I hear that last verse, it’s easily in my top 5 verses he’s ever written, that ending… God… That line about an artist trapped in his own drawings, gives me goosebumps and paints such a vivid picture of Em as a lil boy who’s only safe place was to escape with his love for drawing to escape all the bad things happening in his life at that time… Love Em so damn much…

[@AntonBA25]

I love the "I'm the pill that's too jagged to swallow" bar. Like obviously it's a double meaning on his addiction and the idiom of a pill that's tough to swallow but the way it works together is great: no many how pills you swallow, you still can't swallow this one.

WOOT!!

[@cooperholand]

Right as he goes into that "outro" you hear the car crash over the bridge and hit the water, this coincides with the airy/wet/atmospheric change and feel of the production, it almost feels like you're going under with the car. Drowning as he starts to sink into the thoughts he's conveying and simultaneously it's like he's seeing his life flash before his eyes "im your time that's almost up that you haven't acknowledged" both in rap and because he's drowning in the car

[@JohnJohnson-yg6gs]

Great breakdown, as all ways. Please keep doing Em breakdowns. Love from Australia 🇦🇺

[@thebuck2708]

You're correct, no other rapper can do this, not only story tell, but make a better sequel than the original classic 20 years later. There's something different about this man, and the best dead or alive can't touch him, and whoever says different is just a hater, their favorite rapper couldn't compare, and I dare them to put their best against Eminem's shit like this. We'd be attending an early funeral after the first couple of bars.

[@lovelyamethyst]

One part that not many people seem to catch, but it’s where I realized this song was from Matthew’s perspective, is when he says that Eminem “seems to be doing just fine.” In Stan, Eminem’s response letter tells Stan, “I think you’ll be doing just fine.” He says it in the same tone as in Stan. He does that with a few lines. But, this song is a masterpiece in storytelling and really, really marked a change in Eminem. Chills.
