PSYCHOTHERAPIST REACTS to Eminem- Rap God

[@AndyKraken]

Fun fact: This song has the Guinness world record for most words in a hit single. The number is a staggering 1560 words. He averages right around 4.3 words per second throughout the song. It's absolutely mind-boggling. The fast part is 97 words in 15 seconds (for 6.5 words per second). Eminem is truly a master of his craft Quick edit: Eminem was indeed the person that inducted Run-DMC into the hall of fame, that's not a metaphor or anything :P

[@kimmontenegro2258]

Batter is beaing used in the way the previous line was talking about the women hate in his lyrics and also as cake batter . It a funny way of saying how am i supposed to be nice then? he's an actual punch line god.

[@ReDiiKuLuS]

Absolutely. Especially my Mom just hearing an NF song, thinking it’s just another rap song and saying she doesn’t like it. When I read her the lyrics of the song she said “wow, I can’t believe that’s what he’s saying. I would’ve never guessed that” and now every time she hears his voice she is like, is that NF? Very nice to see I could sway that opinion. There are many other great artists but she wouldn’t understand them and why they’re so good

"Rap God" by Eminem (USA) packs 1,560 words into a fast and furious 6 min 4 sec - that's a tongue-twisting average of 4.28 words per second! In one 15-second segment alone, "Slim Shady" spits 97 words (6.46 words per second) at "supersonic speed".

[@pyromc06]

"His honesty is uncomfortably brutal for me" that describes Em's whole career. Man stands up there and says whatever he likes and dares anyone to say something about it lolz

[@blaznpride18]

Quick story time. So back on the Marshall Mathers LP, Eminem said the same line about Colombine and the revolver and nine, but they bleeped it out on the song. Fast forward to today, he’s saying he must not be as relevant or important enough because he says the same exact line but they didn’t bleep it out.

[@Jennifer-jt9cb]

To say that he got a lot of hate is an understatement. With the exception of Dre, almost everyone wanted his head. He definitely struggled in the beginning, but has earned his place as one of the best rappers to ever put down some rhymes. In my opinion, he is the most skilled rapper ever. Maybe not the best, but definitely the most skilled. Again, that's just my opinion.

[@char4980]

Legendary song. You catch new things every time you listen to Eminem’s songs even years later 😂

[@LardoiseGirl1976]

If you really wanna get to know Marshall, read his book he wrote years ago. It is called the Way I am. It tells his whole story from his beating in elementary that almost left him dead. The story is a hard pill to swallow. The guy is lucky to be alive. And since the book he had a serious addiction and had to battle that. He wrote Rap God with pride. His raps tell blatant truth. There is no hidden message. He lays it out in layman's terms.

[@theronis]

5:39 if you think that's impressive you should check out his verse on "Yah Yah" ! He name drops 27 of his rap influences in a row, making it rhyme and flow naturally

[@scottishemmaa2457]

Eminem gets a lot of hate and flack but he has done so much for so many. He speaks for us, those who have been through hell and gives us all permission to be authentic and flawed. He and his music has meant a lot to my own recovery

[@scottishemmaa2457]

Brilliant reaction Tom 😂 when I saw you were having a go at Rap God I knew you’d love it! You’re so right about Em being a student of the game, I always saw this video a bit like the Matrix - Em is getting ‘programmed’ with all the greats he listened to coming up, making him the artist he is today. This track is a lesson and homage to hiphop from start to finish, so many references to old tracks, different artists etc - even the parts that sound a bit nonsensical at first, have meaning. I’m running out the door just now but I’ll try and add to my comment later - just a few of the cool things in this track you might like!

You should really do a reaction to the final rap battles in Eight Mile. They're amazing! And if you're interested in his story the film is amazing too. Definitely worth a watch to understand more about where he came from.

[@sirzigglesworth]

As a motorsport enthusiast hearing you call dale the king and then catching yourself and saying he wasn't made me smile. I'm sure you meant god is the king, but in nascar the King is Richard Petty. Dale Sr was the intimidator. That aside this was a great video and dale sr is a king in his own rights as is Richard Petty. Eminem is a legend and the king of rap, his lyricism is unmatched, wordplay unheard of, and an amazing person with an extremely rough past/history.

[@slimpickens7822]

I just enjoy how you actually understand and appreciate the way he approaches his craft .

[@kimberlymannino2179]

Why be a king when you can be a god Love that line What’s so amazing is how humble Eminem is irl but you put a mic in his hand & he knows he’s the best. 🔥

[@Kno_Buddy]

The reference in the video with EMINEM in the suit and sunglasses is Max Headroom. It was a tv show back in the day and also someone hacked a tv station once dressed as him and played a bizarre video before just cutting back to the regular program and still nobody knows who did it.

[@max77865]

Eminem is so good that a lot of his stuff goes so far over our heads that he’s not appreciated as he should be. When you read the lyrics, who can compete ?

[@jessedavis1741]

[@blackfairyxdusy]

[@Yuri_alphq]

there's alot of rappers better than em at rapping not saying the trap shit and those, im saying actual rapping, he is one of the goats but not THE goat

[@dylan351321]

I’d put him and MF DOOM on top for the way they can rhyme multi syllabic words, internal rhymes and the vocabulary, how they bend words to fit their rhyme patterns. There’s better story tellers than them and just vibe/chill rap artists. But as far as actual pen game, I’ve got DOOM and Eminem as the GOATs. I think objectively speaking,if you broke down Eminem’s lyrics, you cannot argue he’s not the greatest writer ever. The reason some don’t admit it is like I said, they prefer stories or more chill/trap shit which is fine, so the insane lyrical skills go over their heads. It’s like watching professional sports when you don’t know the rules and don’t understand the plays being made. You have to have some knowledge or understanding of rap to truly appreciate Eminem

[@pjsin9472]

If you want to train your brain to catch more of Ems lyrics, trace his breaths. When he goes hard he gulps air like a diver fighting the rise and fall of the waves of his tempo and beat flow. Once your brain ebbs and flows like his cadence and breath it'll be easy, and this works no matter how fast he goes

Awesome to see you reacting to this one. For more mental health, can I recommend ‘Legacy’ by Eminem? Speaking as someone With Aspergers, that song is incredibly relatable.

[@HopeGardner3amed]

Wait is Em a fellow aspie? I kind of suspected but he doesn't talk about it. He does allude to having ADHD in one song. But I am not sure if it is serious or just the rhyme scheme. We need more publicly aspie celebs who are not eugenicists trying to cure fellow auties or picking literal fights all the time. At the very least for the kids. Positive influences to point to when the kid gets dxed and the parents worry for their future to say don't worry your kid will succeed in their goals look at this person.

[@Vuurvlieg21]

@@HopeGardner3amed Yeah. He actually mentions it in his song ‘Wicked Ways’, but I also already suspected before I heard that. It’s just in the way he expresses himself you know? I get why he wouldn’t make a big deal out of it though. ‘Autism’, is to many people a convenient reason to stop listening to what you’re actually saying and start putting everything into this weird context. There are honestly a LOT of people with at least suspected Asperger’s that made huge contributions to history. Scientists, Inventors, artists, you name it. But I think there’s a good chance that if Eminem was really in the spotlight about it the press would somehow make it a negative thing. To me it’s just nice to recognise some of my own struggles with the world in his songs and see how he made it into a strength. That’s awesome and very motivating on its own.

[@samuelweaver3437]

The doc is basically saying Slim is a genius and he's intrigued by how is Eminem doing this

[@SilentlyMe]

His super sonic speed he did a nod to JJ Fad’s Supersonic. When he puts those lyrics that are really out there, he said he said before it was still tongue and cheek and that he fused hip hop/pop/rock/shock. It’s a brutally honest song, in response to a lot of criticism from previous ones, but still full of Em’s shocking fantastic rips. Want a slower deep song I would do Walk on Water.

He showed them all..his skills...confirming his status in the Rap game! The names he mentions...he always gives a shout out to the greats! Eminem inducted Run-DMC into the Hall of Fame! He was never an alcoholic but it works.lol. The... gay looking boy ...line is from another song. Yes Eminem has a lot of older game systems ...including Pong! lol.
