As far as I’m aware, this song was the culmination of him teaching himself how to rap again, his obsession with learning about serial killers at the time, and him embracing the accent and the rhyming capabilities of it. This is one of my favorites just because of how fucked up it is but how pleasing to the ear and mind all the rhymes and words are. Dude is a mathematician with syllables and put it to the test with a serial killer story.
He rhymes words, sounds and syllables. Even at the same time in the same word, and sentences or a group of words within every sentence... He leaves nothing out when he writes and these breakdown lyrical videos really shows you how ridiculously meticulous he is with his writing. Some super computer binary code shit.
Dude I know why you love her!!! I’ve been listening to reactions of this all night and this is the first one that I’ve seen someone pull the whole depth of the song. Everyone else writes it off to it’s a horror story, or its story telling. He is hitting the depths of the murderer mind. You are awesome!!
Don't know if you will ever see this comment, but for other viewers, Em produced this song entirely. He does the production many songs, including other artists. And, if he likes you he doesn't charge a cent. All he wants is the love and appreciation in return. I could be wrong, but I believe he did the production for this entire album. The Eminem Show as well. You can tell his production as there is almost always an evil circus sound going on in the background.
According to production credits and Eminem himself in interviews, this album was entirely produced by Dre except Beautiful and the Deluxe songs (My Darling, Careful What You Wish For). On Refill the song Elevator was produced by Em, the song Forever was produced by Boi-1da and the rest was produced by Dre.
I loved watching yall break this down like you did. True music/poetic/rap fans. The rhyme scheme is crazy. He came out with this after like an 8 year hiatus where he was in and out of rehab. He was clean when he released it. My fav album and it get lots of negativity. But its pure genius. To get to a level like that, tell a story, a story of a killer thats mentally ill and is crazy is amazing. The use of accents also is creepy but let's him bend words to fit the rhyme scheme. Normal people dont think or ryhme like that. This is art. And you did it justice.
This one is def up there 👆🏽! I watched every second of this video y’all make a good as couple and y’all both have good vibes and your girl is intelligent lol take care y’all
Fun fact. Em was underground in Detroit Horrocore. He opened for House of Krazees (Twiztid) from ICPs label. This is the Detroit Horrorcore sound. Difference being he mainstream and blew up
Also the beat is a heartbeat. Now you can't unhear it 😂 and Brenda is a shot out to 2pac Brenda's Got A baby.. kind of guy that's Mild flip M to W and its WILDER.... BARS
A lot of people like to stretch out the truth a little with these coloured schemes lol. Sometimes they highlight words that don't to make it look better but 95% of the time it's definitely correct. My favorite video like this is from "Bad Guy" from the MM LP 2
I’ve been watching you guys for the past week and i think you are doing awesome job because you actually trying to catch the bars, the references and the word plays not like other other channels who would just sit and listen lol On a side note, from the firs video of yours that i watched i knew megan reminded me of an actress but i couldn’t remember who until it hit my radar today😅 you look like Ashley Williams from the show “how i met your mother” 💥 i thought this worth mentioning😅 Keep up the good work and make sure to check Lucky you by Eminem 👍🙏
english isn't my native language but damnnn i remember when this song came out i've learned english a lot by this song.. most skilled song of all time in my opinion.. this dude is sick af he deserves everything he got.. the other rappers aren't even in his shadow.. but im sick as well cause theres no day i dont listen this song and it's been like 10-11y this song came out.. btw love you guys u're cute together ^^
The last line of the third verse (with the 14 lines of solid blocks of colors)... the way those syllables are (-ice -ai -ing -nnn -ees) make it so basically that entire verse has to be said showing your teeth.. making a grinning maniacal smile
Just found you guys today. Love the reactions. Please go back and do Revival! It was his first album after he got completely sober and it’s by far his most “woke”. Real heartfelt tracks (Bad Husband, Castle/Arose- gotta do them back to back, In Your Head). He flexes on Believe, is humbled on Walk on Water and takes a shot at the president on Like Home. My only criticism of the album is the Revival interlude is so dope it should’ve been a full track. Can’t wait to dig through your playlists! Keep it up!
Em was completely sober for everything on Relapse, except the first 2 verses of Beautiful. Marshall was in a Really Dark and Pained Place because of a Big List of things, and I've always seen this album as him sinking into that hole and working through it all. Recovery is the 2nd part of that journey, which is why he's more hopeful, happy, himself again, and winning.
That skirt was not from relapse. That was from encore from the just lose it song? So idk what that skit has to do with stay wide awake? "Dr west" is a skit from relapse. But this guy has it labeled wrong
Justin -Brendan Finley shiiiit. We looked in google the album’s song order and just typed it into RU-vid. Cover and everything looked right. Oooops. We will go back and listen. Sorry! ~ Meg
4:00-Em does a skit later on using some sort of voice synthesizer responding to the vm, and at the end, in a robot voice, he says “oh. And No. i dont have a new gun.” Then he cocks his gun and a bullet hits the ground. And Em says in regular voice “Ahh shit.”
Just wondered if anyone ever picked up on the fact the main beat is a slow heartbeat like that of a serial killer listen to the song loud adds a new dimension to the track
These videos that claim to color rhyme schemes are always making a bunch of errors and contradictions. Starting with the fact that sometimes they use a single color for two different syllables, they also miss rhymes, do the wrong colors (usually changing color when it's the same sound) and so on. Just try and catch it with your ears, at the end of the day these rhymes are made to sound musically pleasing so they're meant to be heard more than seen.
To me I’ve always thought, “A world so dark, a world so cold, A world where only some will go, But none return, When will they learn? Where do they go? God only knows.” means a lot of different things, but also that he’s talking about the victim being locked away in a dark room. Only some will know what it means to be in that dark and cold world, but none return when he’s done with them. “Where do they go? God only knows.” referring to the fact that they’re kidnapped and missing and that the only person who knows where they are is God. Also, could mean that he thinks of himself as a god and that he’s the only one who knows where the victim is.
Okay here some examples. Not or wrong color coded: I ent *ER* Cent *RAL* Park. ... sit down beside *HER* like a spi *DER* "Hi *THERE* girl you might *A* ... Missed rhymes: ... *TRY* to stay *WIDE* awake, or you *MIGHT* end up found dead *BY* the lake ... Different colors on the same rhyme: Ought ta / Bother / Matter / At ya / Water I get it, it's really difficult to find all rhymes AND then make them visual, because even sometimes the rhymeschemes overlap each other, so you would have to make some syllables or words two different colors. What I mean to say it's not perfect. Still a very good job though.
Dude, the way you look at her! You are so excited to elaborate, I am so sure that I do that every single time I show someone this song 😂. Well, a little less in love, but either way lmao. And I just described this on a different user's channel! They asked about how you react to this if you dont believe in God. Well, its a state of being, its a darkness. Let me show you how dark we can go, the place where only some will go, but not return... anyone ever OD? Anyone ever lose their minds to drugs? You get to this place (yes. Experience.) Where you think the things that are happening are much more sinister than they are. Everyone is out to get you (drug induced anxiety, not sleeping for days), and you start to have crazy thoughts. I'm just kind of realizing how sad it is. Hearing voices, doing something as embarrassing as dancing in red panties, (and from a different song) "waving a gun around i think im down to a hundred pounds", going to a place so dark and cold that even your best friends don't know.. he just got to a darker place than most know, and not a lot of people come back from that. I've talked way too much as it is, but thats how I see it. I guess you have to have lived it to understand it, no disrespect to anyone.
fun fact: Micheal Jackson bought the publishing company that own eminems back catalog.(in 2009, as revenge.) it was returned back to eminem years after he died (in 2016)...the king of pop was a genius as well and just as petty lol
Eminem is the master at manipulating words and the cadence to make words rhyme. That’s why I love the Relapse Accent, because it gives Em infinite possibilities to do what he does best
Yo guy's dope video!!!, appreciate the attention to detail on this one... But I would suggest that if you trying to learn the craft, you should try and steer away from the highlighted rhyme videos as a stencil... As a writer, I would instead start with an instrumental, and just start making sounds and flow patterns over that beat randomly, while obviously staying on beat, until you find a flow pattern you like. So you literally making sounds rhyme lol, but that's how you create complex internal rhymes schemes, by just rhyming sounds that fit on a beat. And then loop that pattern of sounds over and over, the same way the beat loops over and over (but remember your syllables need to match up perfectly in each loop of sounds) ... Then once you have the pattern you like, you add words that recreate the sounds of those patterns that you rhymed... Even if it means you have to split one sound into two words, or two sounds into one word, either way works... But the sounds/patterns that you create over the beat, will in turn keep you on beat, because it acts like a stencil... The difficult part is finding the words that fit into your sound patterns in order to tell your story... But that comes with practice... my first few verses were just about making sentences rhyme and kind of making it make sense... And then over time, my vocabulary grew, and I started being able to tell full stories within those stencils... Just remember, once you have your first loop of SOUNDS that rhyme on whatever beat you chose, you can literally put the beat off (if you want) , and recreate that same loop over and over again, and it will continue to be on beat as long as your syllables match perfectly...
I wish I had this information growing up... I had to learn this myself, but if you can implement this, I promise you can be an above average lyricist in no time...
The fact that you didn't interrupt or kill your girl, amazing. Thumbs up for that, your reaction was waaaaaaaay to long. Your cute as hell together tho! Teach her more off camera my man. Your the only girl I've seen hear this song and not react with angry disgust. Good job separating the perception of Eminem and the lyrics
