[@AnthonyfromtheD]

Like how Eminem in the background said "Keep Going!" when black thought was going off!

[@TheThirdErnest]

yeah lol that was a super dope ad lib lol

[@d.g91]

He was loving every bit of thoughts verse as I did

[@FrancisAbeelen]

Is it true that he was suppose to end the verse right there and Em literally told him to keep goin?? Obviously im not sayin his verse was over and went off the top for the rest. Js, like, Em told him he has to keep goin (write more) cus he was snappin fr.

[@robertcabrera4760]

When a GOAT is in his zone, you leave him flowing💯💯🔥

[@patrickoleary2247]

Yes crazy keep going 😂😂😂

[@Berkzian]

i feel like this album was a rap exercise for Em and a Hip Hop history lesson for the new school by paying homage to all the greats and other pioneers who paved the way for Em.

[@TheThirdErnest]

thats EXCTLY how it seems

[@ironfist5745]

I think hes showing hes the best on every type of beat as well, old school or new whoever ur ever fav rapper is he can do it better on their own style of rap

[@JayK07]

It was

[@JayK07]

Even the theme of the album is homage with the hitchcock

[@TheNewPatsyBailey]

Yeah and I hope they're paying attention, it's such an important tradition / part of hip hop culture, to respect the ones before you....and why shouldn't you?? It keeps the culture alive in the most positive way imaginable, not to mention every cool fucking sample we ever got from this lol

[@amer0701]

People! Please sit down, our lyricollogy lesson has started. The Barfessor has entered the room!

[@MortiferGnome]

When he says "still super lyrical", he's also making a reference to the Big Pun track "Super Lyrical", which featured Black Thought back in 1998.

[@TheThirdErnest]

Damn you right! Never even caught that!

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought "My era, my era, my era" sounded like a dj scratching. I think I picked it up quick cause I'm a dj lol.

[@mikediamond2422]

Thutmose the third was like a ruler of ancient Egypt, so I guess in that last line black thought was comparing himself to a ruler and seven inch herringbones is like the gold jewelry worn by royalty

[@TheThirdErnest]

Egyptian facts! dope af

[@L-vs7fp]

@@TheThirdErnest Bro I don't know if are still reading this but I did some research. Tutmose III was considered the great artist, and the ruler that brought the greatest stylistic redesigns to Egyptian architecture. "7 inch herring bones": Tutmose III dedicated a great amount of attention to the temple of Karnak where he built The Seventh Pylon for the bark of Amun, the Egyptian god of all things. Neat.

[@imDread]

I must say, you are very knowledgable about Hip-Hop [and just in general]. Your videos have a professional but relaxed feel. You also stay current with the reactions. Very nice, man! Hard to come by. ALSO, I love your kitty!

Not really the only channel that does that. But he does it well.

[@flovin123]

And no, many channels out there that break it down good

[@adarshchava8423]

Ernest and lost in vegas are a big cut above in my opinion. Always get some great insights from them.

[@ontqe5531]

He discets so well

[@richogalih]

Eminem’s saying MGK is his son who was born just after a 3 month pregnancy. This is a premature birth. Meaning MGK most likely has some deformities as a result of this premature birth. In other words, MGK might be a product of the game but is not a well formed MC.

[@aKaCrowley]

even if the premature kid gets all grown up he still is a premature kid and not formed

[@rayster733]

richo galih he says mgk is his daughter

[@tijnusbeatz120]

@richo galih Nah, man. Like in 99% of the time TheThirdErnest is spot on but there was never in history a child born with just three months that lived, meaning MGK is a miscarriage and therefore dead. This is in my opinion the meanest and hardest way that Eminem ever came for MGK. And yes it is definitly a diss.

[@rayster733]

Tijnus Beatz ya I get that but em says daughter not son so ya it’s a diss lol

[@tijnusbeatz120]

@@rayster733 Sorry, misunderstanding. I was referring to richo galih's post. And no he doesn't say daughter he means he married the game and is referring to the "game" as a bitch that gave him MGK.

[@mo_4eyez437]

well, I will say this was a good breakdown but black thought had a bar that you forgot he said "For the god in the flesh, the ominous Indominus Rex" the ominous indominus rex is a reference to the hybrid dinosaur in Jurassic world that just kills other dinosaurs for the fun of it so he's saying that he kills emcees just for the fun of it.

[@rarodrig6]

Or it was just one of the most obvious bars on the song & it wasn't necessary to single it out.

[@mo_4eyez437]

@@rarodrig6 i mean maybe he missed it not everybody out here watching Jurassic world

[@MortiferGnome]

[@celeste1737]

Bonnie&Clyde I caught it when I first heard it and KnoxHill is the only reactor I have seen catch it... actually what you said is almost word for word what he was saying in his breakdown reaction to this track

[@EnduringPoet]

A lot of people miss the beginning line when Em says, "Better hope an ambulance is en route." He was paying homage to a line from Black Thought's freestyle on Hot 97 where he said, "I put a couple of bodies in a brown bag, and I'm en route." Dope!

[@prorichardson573]

Nice catch

Congrats on 65k man, I first found you back at NF When I grow up. I have been in the family since that. I have rarely found any other channel that can break down a song like you. Thank you for doing these lyrical breakdowns.

[@TheThirdErnest]

appreciate it man and thanks for watching for so long! that was months ago! lol

[@jeremiasrosales2529]

I'm surprised that you didn't catch the shoutout to Big Pun's "Super Lyrical" in the Black Thought verse. Anyway dope reaction and intro LOL.

[@TheThirdErnest]

I didn’t really get into pun too much lol but that’s a dope reference

[@d.g91]

TheThirdErnest you should tbh.... PUN IS RIDICULOUS🔥🔥🔥

[@Heytheremrsky]

7 inch herring bone is playing off Royce’s line about laying down like caulk in tile, a herring bone is a pattern you lay tile down in that is diagonal and super expensive 👍

[@celeste1737]

HeyMrSky It’s also what Egyptian pharaohs (like Thutmose III) and royalty wore for fortune, luck and to ward off evil spirits

[@joeygreathouse4046]

Got dammit another bar among the many that proves black thought makes me feel like a stupid human. Lol thanks for the explanation. And go to hell black thought you intelligent wonderful bastard. Well played

how about them 21krt Gold 7-inch bracelets of the 3rd millimeter Herringbone variety ;) 👍 super expensive

[@ndhonek]

Can you do an Em train again? I love all your reactions! We need more recovery breakdowns!

[@jon_because]

Recovery is my third fav album but for some reason a lot of ppl don’t like it. I think the substance is weak but the reason I like it so much is I think it’s his best scheme album.

[@ndhonek]

@@jon_because I think Cinderella Man is Em's most underrated song. My Dad's Gone Crazy is underrated too

[@TheThirdErnest]

ill try! got a lot of new music this year!

[@too2great8]

Royce came with that Das Efx flow! This is one of my faves off the album

[@TonyKimtheamusementparkfan]

Black Thought really shined in this song, and I think Eminem wanted him to do that. Eminem and Royce still murdered the beat.

[@celeste1737]

Em in the background saying “keep going!” to Black Thought is the absolute best thing-he’s just in the back being a fan, enjoying greatness on the mic

[@billyblack3712]

Knowing Em, that may be a deep cut reference to Freeway featuring Jay Z "What we do" where Freeway could've ended his verse and Jay Z says "keep going." Another homage moment

[@ErmelindoBarreto]

Thanks for reacting to another track from the G. O. A. T. Eminem with so many legends together. Respect from Portugal.

[@dennispugh7368]

Been waiting on this every minute since the album dropped! 🔥🔥🔥🔥 And yeah Royce's verse was only like 40secs because Black Thought had to go on and spit flame for 25mins straight 🤣

[@TheThirdErnest]

😂😂😂 YOU NEVER LIED

[@dennispugh7368]

This one cracked me up bro, anytime Eminem features he destroys the person on their own song, with Black Thought on this Em kinda got a taste of his own medicine I think hahaha

Thank God I was waiting for you to do this! Number one you are for breakdown, I needed that fam!

[@kimberlyflierl7160]

This is random but, my thought when I first heard this track was “Man, I bet Josh Dun plays the drum part when he practices. Josh and Tyler are huge Em fans and there is an interview somewhere where they talk about how they love his passion.

can you/anyone link the interview?

Black Thought is from my home city of Philly The Roots 4th and 1st real hit album. Things fall apart is a Hip hop classic, every song is pure fire, Black Thought is my top MCs, he's a dam legend. Shame most probably just know him from the Late show. I'm always impressed by your knowledge of the real MCs and knowing Black Thought is a GOAT most didn't know who he was, that's why you are now the only person I watch react, just wish you'd pick up some underground heads like RA the rugged Man, Diabolic even Army of the Pharaoh's, straight Beasts. It's DAS EFX, and Lord Jamar is from brand Nubian, and you got yah yah yah, Busta Rhymes, herringbone is a type of chain, that they used to wear back in the day, 7 inch herringbone gold chain around your neck.

[@keithgriffin1938]

@Master SHANGO yea it's thier 4th it was their 1st studio album I believe, I could be wrong I think they drooped in 93 94 but Things fall apart came out in 99

I know its been a minute but this is the most recent in your commentary on Murder. I just want to share this strange feeling that hit me. Eminem released 2 albums recently. Recently!! Debate its highs and lows, Em could have never said another single word to his fans. This is a gift.

Yesss its about time. I think ur the best Ernest i say that every channel i visit. Of course in an appropriate way to promote you and your many "intelligences" lol.

Thanks for doing this and for all of the knowledge you have even outside of rap. Youre a hard worker. You are gonna go far. Now....to rewind and listen to this breakdown lol

hopefully I did it justice! lol

My favorite line from Thought came in his first... three... words. "I'm snapping necks", but also "I'm snapping next"... as in the second on the track to snap 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

[@mtbmbtmmlp9993]

I think the D R E bar can also be interpreted as " And D R E was like my GP, yes without him I don't know where I'd be"... GP as in, general practitioner? at least where I am from that is how you call your doctor. Otherwise it was a very cool and well done breakdown keep up the good work :)

I think there was a subtle MF DOOM reference in there with the "metal fingers high" line snuck between the others. The MF in MF DOOM stands for metal face or metal fingers.
