For those of you that don't know, this was Em's throw back to a "TV personality" from the 80's called "Max Headroom".

I loved that show when I was a kid.

[@shawnadams1460]

That show was awesome, it is parodied allot and often NO ONE KNOWS it....god I am getting OLD!!!

[@sidrat2009]

Saw it as a kid and didn't understand it other than an investigator was bumped off and woke up in a TV Screen looking at a parking garage height restriction bar hence he thought he was Max Headroom. Recent exposure has illuminated that it's from an Australian comedian that wasn't getting enough work so came up with that. If people haven't they really should check it out as I have not done it justice. I have no idea if it still holds up comedy & satire wise.

[@iconwolf9044]

I always just remember him for the Coca Cola commercials. I often forget he became so popular they actually turned him into a TV show.

[@ThaneOfEurmal]

​@@sidrat2009 Matt Frewer is a American-Canadian comedian, and was in the corporate pirates sketch in Monty Python and the Meaning of Life in 1983. And the character Max Headroom, well I first saw him in the Art of Noise video Paranoimia in 1986. The opening of the TV show being copied by Em, Max Headroom, started "Six seconds into the future," which I thought was brilliant - sci fi, but it could be just around the corner...

[@aprilfools9741]

[@Cammer92]

Just for context, if you didn’t know, the beginning part where he is quoting “I was gonna go easy on you not to hurt your feelings… but if he’s as bananas as you say, we’re in trouble, big trouble.” Is actually based on something that happened on November 22nd, 1987. The background, clothing, and sunglasses Eminem is wearing is what the assailant was wearing during the broadcast interruption. Someone wearing a Max Headroom mask (a fictional British tv character), hacked two Chicago, Illinois TV stations during a live broadcast… I believe it was a Chicago Bears football game. The very beginning lyrics are what was said during one of the hacks that took place. The anonymous person that hacked the station, has never been caught.

[@cheechchong9939]

Legend has it, a few reactors attempted to analyze every lyric, every line, to identify all the double and triple (and often quadruple) entendres; and they quit 3/4s the way through this track, mostly because their videos were already 2.5 hours long

[@chrismetcalf1261]

The skill he has at writing his lines is unparrelled. That kind of growl in his voice is amazing. The nice thing about that tirade he goes on is you can actually hear each and every word he says clearly...they are just "hidden" with his rap style and speed. I can never get enough of all the names he drops throughout the whole song and can listen to it on repeat over and over.

[@Al_Ellisande]

The way he raps, speed, style, growl, w/e - that's not unique. Listen to Bone Thugs - Krayzie Bone in particular. With Eminem, it's his ability with words that sets him apart.

I literally dont understand how anyone could ever be a eminem hater, Hes just the best at this, U can hear every single word his saying even when he goes supersonic, The lyrics are amazingly well written. Everything is on spot.

[@U1TR4F0RCE]

Variety of factors one is of course not being a fan of the genre. Also as he mentions in the song underground scenes often have mixed feelings about the people who make it mainstream such as Eminem. As well as he mentions that he often has misogynistic lyrics in his songs which not everyone is a fan of.

[@kimlend7680]

This is one of the biggest reasons why i love his style and respect him for over 20 years that I've known him. Even as a non-native, i still can follow and understand the majority of his supersonic. And also this is exactly why i don't like most of newer gens and i literally mean no offense or any kind of racism but most of black rappers as well. Because other than some actual few, they sing or "speak" in very distinct i don't wanna say accent but a way which makes harder for me to follow up and actually enjoy the song. I'm aware that in some places in the US, blacks have their own kind of cultural sort of "accent" which is totally fine. It's a bit harder to listen to for a nonnative but that is a language and a cultural thing which is perfectly fine. But the thing I'm talking about is just broken English and i don't enjoy it. After all what's the point if I'm not gonna listen and enjoy the lyrics when i listen to rap. Let's face it, it is not known for it's fantastic musicality or something like that. I have my classical for that purpose.

The inspiration for the parts of the video with the multicoloured lines, where Mr Mathers is wearing shades, a suit and sporting overblond hair, comes from a VERY old TV show character, called Max Headroom. Look it up. Its twisted, crazy, and way, WAY ahead of its time.

This track proves that Eminem is the greatest rapper of all time. And what really blew me away was that he actually did this one live when I saw his concert in Stockholm. The breath control that this man has is insane! And on top of that the lyrics are so good! He has so many doubles and tripples in there that it makes your head spin! One of my favorites is “I don’t need to go overseas on a vacation to trip abroad.”

Fun fact. Eminem won a Guinness World Record, for singing/raping the most amount of words with a coherent message, in less than a minute. And this song with 1,560 words, holds the record for the most words in a hit single, according to the Guinness World Records. During the six-minute four-second song, an average of 4.28 words were recorded per second.

Sorry to disappoint, but CGI weren't able to do something as advanced as 'Max Headroom' during that period. 'Max' was a real actor with a mask on.

He even gives a shoutout to all the artists he's been influenced from including the part that starts at 7:34, he mentions "Supersonic (JJFad)," a song/artist from the '80s. Eminem is referencing the last verse in Supersonic. The visuals in the video just add to the song too. Aside from the Max Headroom reference, he's subtly implying being plugged into "The Matrix."
