Man em's technical ability is crazy. He carried a 5 syllable rhyme scheme through the whole first verse.

also that "u" sound and flow, goddamnnnnnn

Facts.

[@devionmontgomery9599]

Eminem Fun Fact: Till I Collapse Has Sold Over 7.3 Million Units In The US, And It Remains The Biggest Selling And Most Streamed Non-Single/Workout Song Of All Time.

[@devionmontgomery9599]

Fun Fact: As of January 2019, Kamikaze has sold over 500,000 copies in pure sales, making it the only solo album of 2018 to do so.

[@darnell7871]

Fun Fact: Eminem produced this beat. This was on Jay Z album “The Blueprint” from 2001 Another fun fact: There’s an original version of this song with Eminem and Royce Da 59 (dope rapper too). Jay heard of this and wanted to be on it and Em told Royce about it. Royce was taken off new version but he didn’t care cause he thought it would’ve made a song a bigger hit

[@devionmontgomery9599]

Fun fact: Music To Be Murdered By Was The Highest Selling Hip Hop Album Of 2020 Worldwide, Selling Over 1,010,000 Pure Copies.

[@hstacker93]

Fun fact: this song is on two albums: Eminem’s “Curtain Call”

[@Endless-River]

I also think that Royce didn't have time to record the verse because he was touring. I am not 100% on that because it's been a while since I've seen the video but I think that's what happened. Might have been in the Crook interview/podcast with Royce. He also thought that yeah it was going to be a bigger hit with that so Royce gave the "permission" to give it to Hove, I also think there were other people that were in the list to rap it. That I'm definitely not sure on but I think so.

[@owoodard]

For me, this song was like 2 Hall of fame boxers in the same ring. Not fighting each other, yet contributing in the same title fight. Jay Z had the haymakers. Slow, powerful, deep rhymes. Poetic Hooks.. Eminem threw swift jabs, one after the next, combinations... 2 different styles combined for an instant classic.

[@Livingtree32]

Stop these so called „fun facts“ already 😭 That’s common knowledge for anyone born before 2000 and even if someone didn’t know: What’s so „fun“ny about it????

[@darnell7871]

What makes this song so good is how Jay Z and Em come from two different backgrounds but were able to intertwine them in their verses Jay Z dealing with a rough upbringing in life and his music is a product of it. While Em is dealing with the public’s perception of his music since he was the center of all the controversy in Hip Hop. But it all ties together where they both stay true to what they are no matter what others say.

[@No-jb2py]

In this particular song, what you said applies, but it is no secret that Em had a rough upbringing as well. His mother abusing him, his dad not being there, and vicious bullying that at one point resulted in him being in a week long coma.

[@darnell7871]

Hov and Em both dropped some of the best verses in rap history on this track.

[@jwdathefax377]

[@himurahaibara1459]

I can't say the better verse. They talk about different things related to their respective lives. Jay address his critics saying how do you judge music about his life which they have no knowledge of? And Em talk about parents putting blames on him for their mentally unstable kids, not understanding his music was also an outlet for some people to vent their anger out so they don't do actual harm. I definitely like Em's flow more.

[@LamarSalinas-Ayala]

EM is the GOAT! No other rappers come close!!

[@Durbit428]

Yeah, this track is one of those slept on classics. This song is what Rap is all about imo.

[@Alisha1686]

Jay- Z openly admitted Em had the better verses. Me personally, I just see them giving different perspectives of different ghettos. Both of which I can relate to. I appreciate how you caught the bar about judging music that's intended to uplift the "less fortunate". Both artists killed it. But em is Just different. RENGAAAADE!!! What people don't understand it's not just his bars... It has a lot to do with Ems delivery of said bars. So many times I found/find myself saying " oh shit ! Did you hear HOW he said that line?"

If you weren’t around for em’s prime we can’t really describe it to you. We all knew we were watching something legendary take shape , and his music made us better fans of all hip hop because of the insight he gave us. It was an amazing time to be a fan…….unlike nowadays

[@Therealab2248]

“The way you annunciate words helps you rhyme with words that don’t typically rhyme” for y’all upcoming artist listen to the man he’s dropping 💎 pick em up

[@Whizdabanga]

The creator actually understood the bars and broke them down precisely. 💯💯💯

[@ethandaniel8123]

They both were also dirt poor but Em didn’t want to talk about himself being poor, considering Jay Z is already talking about that struggle life and Em knew it’d be smart and ideal to rap about him being labeled as this “role model” that’s supposed to do everything perfect because, like you said, at the time he was the person that the media would blame for everything. So, it compliments Jay’s verse so well. It’s like, “I came from shit, and had to deal the cards I was dealt (Jay), and here y’all are trying to cancel me for me being me and holding me to a standard to be your perfect role model. (Em)”. Both verses are just so clean and compliments each other so well.

That's a dope shirt my guy. love it.

[@Endless-River]

He is amazing at the annuciation and is able to hit certain syllables with the beat, with the superb annucaiation he is able to from his own percussion over the beat but it's also on time with the beat in the instrumental. When he raps fast like in Rap God, World Wide Choppers Pt. 2, Godzilla, Lucky You, etc. you can understand and hear every single word. No one can beat him in that. If you look at The Ringer when he goes on a 13 bar spit fest without taking a breath and that is a good example of the percussion aspect because he's hitting in just the right place and you don't even notice the beat in the back. Another example is Not Alike, when he starts with "Sold Dre my soul ...* and ends with "And I double-edge sworded 'cause one place I poke and I stick and I turn and I rotating motion". The beat slightly fades away and we see Em being essentially the metronome and the percussion just with his syllable punches!
