Yelawolf - Best Friend ft. Eminem - Very interesting approach on a Best Friend!

[@ikingipapa]

Yelawolf is very underrated. He's a true artist.

[@user-gk3lu1gg9t]

He's not underrated at all lol what are you talking about

[@ikingipapa]

@@user-gk3lu1gg9t underrated in regards to the music industry. He's not as big as I think he should be, look at his subs on KZbin compared to other artists, look at his sales. He does well for himself but I think he should be bigger and more well known than he is

[@79tucker]

It’s partly because he made some changes in his life and Did the whole change his name and rebrand thing, which is never good when you have a fan base that is used to a certain style.

Facts!

[@pickloc]

It may just be his best verse, all things considered. Definitely the best feature in hip hop

[@lonkacat4331]

EVER! ...and that is saying something 'cause he has A LOT of great verses.

[@HappyCleanersWA]

Totally agreed! Most underrated verse ever

[@Cools2296]

His best verse is probably his verse off medicine man

[@BricksByBradyn]

Good catch. “Still look to him without a doubt” Without a doubt is the meaning of the word Proof. You can’t deny the truth of something if there’s proof!

[@DaleWalter96]

You need to check out "Rock Bottom" by EM off of his first album, before he blew up. You also need to check out "Difficult" about Proofs passing very emotional. Love your reactions man, keep it up!!

[@MrZaddax]

Rock bottom is a classic imo, it’s a perfect track. Difficult is… Difficult to listen to, remember when I listened to it after someone I knew passed and whenever Eminem is about to say casket… I just broke into tears. Beautiful tribute.

[@DaleWalter96]

@@MrZaddax 💯 🙏

[@rapface45]

Difficult is so amazing…..

[@frshcee19]

I requested him to listen to that a while back, hope he checks it out

[@squiggles1239]

Difficult is a must in the Proof tributes. Hands down the most heart felt and saddest Em track.

[@peacefulw4rrior968]

When he Em says "for the People I've Been a Minister", he's actually saying, For the People I've Been a Menace too. So it's a double entendre. Great Reaction! I just suggested this the other day on the "Not Alike" vid I think, I'm sure they're were others that suggested it though, but still really cool to see this reaction. Thanks

[@peacefulw4rrior968]

BTW, I really think you would be mind blown in a good way if you check out the "Asa Jake" song called "Hi Eminem", just to get you started. Asa, is a mind blowing lyricist. Thanks again

[@rtuck2009]

Additionally, the reference to Clint Eastwood who was a minister looking for peace in Pale Rider.

[@pjo7064]

”You ain't my (best friend, best friend) Who you think I'm talking 'bout? Lifts me up when I'm down and out Still look to him without a doubt” Something that is proven is without a doubt. So yes, his talking about Proof!

[@Luke26945]

Yes, Eminem is talking about Proof. At one point he pulls up his sleeve and points to the tattoo of Proof. You should dive into some Yelawolf as well. He is the total package as far as music. He sings, raps, covers multiple genres of music. Amazing artist, I will throw a couple recommendations below.

[@lyricalmike7162]

Go on

[@lyricalmike7162]

Love him, but curious to what you specifically recommend

[@TheSami92a]

You forgot the recommendations

[@lantana079]

@@TheSami92a I’ll recommend ‘Opie Taylor’ ‘Pop the Trunk’ ‘Box Chevy’

[@chrisguzman7926]

I also recommend Tennessee love, till its gone and devil in my veins are pretty cool

[@peterbrown954]

Em’s verse is so intricate and sonically pleasing on this. Masterpiece

[@jakedavis17]

This is one of my favorite verses Em has ever written. So many meaningful doubles laced throughout the verse while maintaining an underlying religious theme throughout. All of that without making anything feel out of place or forced. I could list 20 different lines that are insane, but I’ll focus on a few that you noticed. The minister line you noted is actually a homophone where he actually says “the people I’ve been a menace to” and he slants the end of the line to sound like minister. He then clarified what he means by clarifying that he didn’t mean a preacher, but that he’s been a nuisance to people. Another one that’s insane is the whole football scheme you noticed. “Act just like a quarterback and take a hike when I snap because I’m a center”. The center in football is the player that snaps the ball to the quarterback, but he also used center as a homophone for sinner. Again, this entire verse is insane and is layered with so much meaning while sticking to the theme of the song. Loved your reaction man!

[@zeallust8542]

More like rap rock & roll but yeah. Hes had a hella evolution.

[@Antiinora]

I haven’t even seen this reaction yet and I know you’re going to do it justice. One of Em’s GREATEST verses

[@chrispruner8090]

If u pay close attention Chris, you notice you never actually see him swearing on camera inside the cathedral. Very interesting and cool and respectful. Watch it again. Make you do the song 25 to life. The biggest double entendre hes ever done. The entire song is one

[@larryshair]

NICE catch!

[@melissakennedy1506]

This is such a great track. Em has tons of doubles in there, like he says he should show some remorse to the people he has been a menace to, but he says it like “minister”. Basically Yela says if you wish him dead he will send you straight up to deal with God. Em says if you cross him, he’ll send you straight up to deal with his best friend. So, when Em’s done with you, Proof will be waiting at the pearly gates with something for dat ass-basically. Good job for catching that he was talking about Proof.

[@Jhutchison1992]

This has gotten be one of the greatest verses ever written . Goosebumps every time. Everyone seems to miss the Clint east wood looking for peace ..priesthood bar referring to the grand tourino movie when he was about to go ham on the Asian dudes but repent finally before he went and met them face on, neat one I thought

Yelawolf is a great artist he is a rapper/singer and he didn't rap on this song but he can definitely rap. If you want to do a reaction on one of his raps you should do bloody Sunday by yelawolf. It was a freestyle and he killed it!

[@annkirkpatrick6355]

I discovered your reactions to Eminem's songs a few days ago. I grew up listening to his music. Glad to see you embracing his artistic masterpieces! He can evoke lots of emotions from people. He has such a beautiful way of weaving a story through his lyrics. This song in particular is just incredible. I personally think Eminem is referencing Proof and God, because the first thing he says is about begging God to give him the armour to fight -- very profound, right there. Keep up the good work dissecting bars! It's like a fun scavenger hunt finding them! I also enjoy your sharing of your own life struggles. Your enthusiasm and appreciation for learning new musical genres is wonderful and refreshing. There are so many great songs out there just waiting to be unearthed. KZbin is a great platform for that. Take care. 😊

[@larryshair]

Thanks so much!

The best part about your reactions is that you’re so mind blown by Em’s lyrical ability and there’s sooooo much substance underneath his lyrics that you are only catching very few punchlines and metaphors. WHICH IS FINE! I can promise you NOBODY is catching EVERY bar he says on just one listen. But you’ll have your doctoral diploma soon enough!! Love the reactions buddy

[@Semajmk7]

There are so many doubles in this em verse it’s insane I definitely suggest going and reading the lyrics to it for instance “for the people I’ve been a minister(menace to) not a preacher but a shit starter” minister, preacher correlation but also he’s been a menace in rap and a shit starter. You’ve come a long way though that proof catch was nice and the football scheme.

[@CSpad]

What's up Unk... This is my fave Em collab verse. It's so layered, that you gotta listen to it multiple times to catch it all. His verse has nothing to be about "god". It's all about proof.. just like you caught.. ..on point unk... That's his higher power. Which in newer age AA, they yell you if you aren't religious that you can use a different higher power. Kids, wife, parents etc.. aren't supposed to be used. But, the fact that proof was the 1 that kept pushing him to keep writing and rapping, makes this song hit so much harder.. Yelawolf said he sent his part in, heard Ems verse & didn't want to try to attempt to get in the way. It was so powerful...

[@MichaelsExplorations]

One of my favorites ☝🏻 got this on iTunes Congratulations to ‘Em making in the Rock and Roll hall of fame 👏🏻

Another great reaction! Please react to more Yelawolf, you're gonna love him. I recommend "Keeps me alive", "Have a great flight", "Sky's the limit", "Daylight" and "Row your boat".

[@rebeccajeanne6256]

I was so excited to see this pop up tonight! And I am SO impressed with how tuned in your ear already is with his verses. I was so sure the double would go over your head and you'd miss he was speaking about Proof, but also, in my opinion speaking of a loose spirituality. Many reactors missed that entirely. And you caught SOOO much of his bars. Respect, man! Can't wait for the Not Afraid reaction! Then I hope to see you start digging a little deeper into some older music and/or newer. Also, Yelawolf is also a really cool artist you might entertain looking more into. He's so versatile also, he's a killer rapper in his own right.

I think this may be the most recent Eminem you’ve done? It’s so amazing to watch you discover him, and be jumping into how he burst into the scene to how he’s evolved. My take: no matter what decade of his journey you delve into, what you always get is honesty mixed with brilliant creative talent and that’s why his fans are ride or die with this man. His verses in Best Friend are just as raw and honest as what we experienced in the beginning, straight 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Edit: maybe River with Ed Sheeran was more recent but the point is the same, his craft 30 years later is still incredibly real and clever 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
