G-Unit probably one of the most underrated groups of all-time. So much of their best music was on all their mixtapes that never made it to major audiences before 50 blew up as a solo artist.
Yes Eminem “discovered” 50cent 50 was slated to be the next big rapper out. He was signed to a major, had an album complete and had a feature with JLo ready for release….and then he infamously got shot 9 times. They dropped him from the label, replaced his verse off the JLo record and basically left him for dead. 50 came back and flooded the streets with mixtapes that featured songs of him and Gunit dissing Murder Inc and Ja Rule (who were being funded by Supreme, 50’s ex boss that put the hit on him) No Major would touch him and all the hiphop labels were warned by Irv Gotti signing 50 would mean no relationship with them (Ja and Murder Inc were huge at the time) So 50 was essentially black balled in the industry. Enter Marshall Mathers who is sitting in the Throne of HipHop, back to back diamond albums (10xplatinum) had just filmed a movie and the soundtrack was coming out. He put “Wanksta” on the soundtrack and shortly after signed 50cent. We only get the masterpiece “Get Rich or Die Tryin” because of Em and everything that comes with his Team. That means Dre production, features from Eminem, Snoop and Nate Dogg the latter two which were released as singles. Eminems biggest lesson from Dre was, take a chance on an artist you truly believe in like Dre did with Em. Eminem did that even against the wishes of Dre who didnt want the street shit coming back into his life (the reason why he left Death Row)
Ems verse in this song is like listening a poetry. Flawless!! It clearly shows the friendship and brotherhood between Em, Fif and G-Unit is not limited to rap. It's beyond if that🔥🔥
Hey guys great reaction! My song suggestion to you would be "No Apologies" by Eminem. In that song he has a similar energy as when he did the songs "Till I Collapse" and "Soldier." Very underrated song imo, he kills it.
Great reaction. Eminem did find 50 and pushed him to the top. Eminem produced half of 50s first album and dre the other half. Eminem even refused to do the super bowl performance without 50 and brought him in when 50 wasn't even considered. Check out Eminem - 'No apologies' 🔥
Dre wouldn't be dre without jimmy lovine, em wouldn't be em without dre and 50 wouldn't be 50 without em. Dre nearly lost his label from Jimmy till he found em the he found 50. I dont believe in God but someone blessed us 😂😂
The you're in trouble/urine trouble bar is in Session One, its a song from Recovery so same as Not Afraid and Cinderella Man. Hope big man can finally sleep once he hears the bar again!
It’s only on the extended version of the album tho I’m pretty sure, if you go to the standard album version it won’t be on there (I might be wrong tho)
"It's no pretend shit, it's friendship, mi nemesis es su nemesis Same for him.." Those lines hit even hared now, when you know its like 16 years past and nothing has changed.
“How To Rob” - 50 Cent. It’s a hood ass song 50 released independently to get the industry’s attention and Em signed him shortly after that. “Never Leave Me Alone” by Nate Dogg feat Snoop Dogg is a classic.
That R Kelly bar is in 'Session One ft. Slaughterhouse'. It's from Recovery album deluxe version. It's the outro to the album and he introduced us fans to Slaughterhouse with that track.
Guys you made my day fo' sho'. I was listening this when I was 15-16 years old when it came out I could not understand any word of English, but I knew Em had crazy verse ! keep it up more Eminem we will never get bored listening to Eminem's songs. Go for Rock bottom or any D12 song they are all crazy imo.
If you think 50 snapped in this song , listen to 50cent- psycho ft eminem. It's one of his best versus and yes Eminem discovered 50 . There are several interviews about that and he mentioned in his song "fall"
Nah do some research bud. Jam Master Jay. Discovered 50. 50 had a whole rap career before Eminem. He was signed to Columbia records. Getting ready to put out Power Of A Dollar, until he got a shot. The whole industry knew who 50 was. The streets and New York knew who 50 was. As a rapper. He had a lot of hype in the 90’s. Jay dissed him in the 90’s so did Big Pun, before Em even put out his debut album. After 50 got shot and the whole industry was afraid of messing with 50 Em wasn’t and I give him credit for that. BUT he did not discover 50, 50 already had a buzz years prior 50 had mad music prior to shady. Shady just put the backing when everyone else was afraid to. And the rest is history. I give credit to where credit is due.
@@jwood8769 I know 50 was poppin before he knew em . He was doing mixtapes and all that. On the other hand because of em's backing on the get rich or die tryin , he hit the commercial success otherwise he would have been a underground rapper . Dre didn't want to work with him coz he upset other rappers which led to him getting shot. that's why in the fall em says bought the world 50 cent . if Eminem haven't supported him , 50 would not have existed commercially
@@z1ronic741 i agree with that, just the word discovered is what I didn’t agreed with. He had a career before Em.He had a good rap career before Em, but Em did bring the world 50 cent Em wasn’t afraid when everyone else was afraid. All that is true.
Bro I remember when this came out, First time i heard it was playin hockey on the field and they played this on the radio for the field. I went crazy after that day I couldnt stop playin this for weeks. Best fifty verse when it comes to raw delivery, em went nuts, cashin did his thing and Banks for me i cried that we didnt get a 16 bar banks verse, He goes so cold
Anytime 50 is teamed up with Eminem it's always a banger. This was super dope. Ca$his got a different kinda style. Great job guys. The video is even better to the song
This has to be followed with We All Die One Day Obie Trice, G-Unit, 50, Em. A lot of these songs touched on the beef with both Ja/Murder Inc and Benzino/Source. Love that song. Everyone killed it but Em & Lloyd Banks are something else on that song. Please do it 😁 Em always raps as the crazy serial killer among the gangstas with them, somehow it works.
@@rg11able Whole album is great. Obie is seriously underrated. Great features. Half the album they're all dissing someone. Found it exciting at the time but i was a young, didn't really understand that the whole thing was pretty serious. Funny in retrospect now that 50 & Yayo are just sticking to social media and podcasts, haven't heard anything from the others and Em just take a funny little poke in his music occasionally. "Bon Iver can swallow a fckn Ja Rule bobble head and die slow like Alzheimer's" made me laugh so hard.
oh hell yeah this is one of my favorite songs this beat is so sick, eminem himself actually produced this too. glad yall doing the lyric video because the official video is kind of censored.
Bad Meets Evil "lighters" and "above the law" next please. Also check out "detroit vs everybody" Big Sean and Eminem verse in that straight 🔥Btw "Eminem - Session One" is the R Kelly song.
Love that you young brothers are discovering the brilliance of Eminem. Also love the friendship and comraderie among you young kings. Keep bringing the heat with these Eminem reactions!
You guys should react to more Lloyd Banks. If you wanna keep Eminem in the mix, I recommend warrior part 2 (loyd banks feat Eminem, 50’cent and Nate dogg). But literally can’t go wrong with any track from The Hunger For More album
"Alfred's Theme" from his last album (not including Curtain Call 2), "Music to Be Murdered By - Side B" in 2020! Keep the fire extinguisher on hand, you'll need it!
@@sasukehickson3390 Yes Sir!!! I remember hearing that shit lifting weights with my boys before going to the club! Anyone say black men doesn't listen to Eminem is full of shit. We bumped him to 'Criminal' rolling in the club!
If you loved this you should really react to "love me" from the 8 mile album, with Eminem, 50 cent and Obie Trice, has one of the hardest 50 cent lines.
Lloyd Banks is a real one, back in the early 2000s Banks was a killer, one of my favorite rappers. This year and last year he put out albums and they were dope, all these years later he still kills it.
"Places to go" by 50. The verse that changed hip hop forever, as it scared Em to see someone he saw as better than him.. Then raised his game to a whole new level. Even the first verse is 🔥 "When measures get drastic Glock's made out of plastic Cock, aim it and blast it Run nigga go stash it" His delivery is like no other. Greasiest rapper of all time..
Please do "Rap Game" from the 8 Mile soundtrack. I'm still gonna keep requesting this song on every Em reaction you guys do. It's Em, 50 and D-12 with a sick beat and catchy ass hook by 50 and Em raps in pig latin!!
Why spoil it? Why do people explain the songs they request? Don't you think their reactions would be more genuine and interesting if they listened to it without you telling them what to expect?
@@Ge0rge_0rwell Why do you care so much? If the song has something different that I think they might like and might make them more likely to listen to it, then why wouldn't I mention that? Also, where did I say rapping in pig latin was impressive? It's different, and sounds great especially coming from Em. Is your life seriously that miserable to where you need to go on a RU-vid comment section and talk trash on someone requesting a song reaction?
@@djdmac2417 because it takes away from their reactions when you explain everything to them before they even watch it. How is that hard for you to understand?
@@Ge0rge_0rwell It doesn't take away shit. I didn't type out what he says on his verse. All I said is he raps in pig latin. That's called a tease or a hint at what is to come. If I told them exactly what he said, then you would be right, but I didn't say anything that he said. Only that he raps in pig latin. By your logic, every rap song that has a feature on it that listed who the feature was, would be ruined because it took away the surprise of that rapper appearing on that song.
Eminem-Kim. Still the most insane song I ever heard from anyone ever. Snoop said the same thing when it came out, might be to much for today, probably get you blocked!
lmao I'm just thinking about the reaction from the media, etc, if that song came out today!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I still remember the first time I ever heard it!! lmao my dude got the album like a day before I did, remember this is before streaming and shit, so I hadn't heard it.....I just remember him going...."dude......check out THIS SONG!!" lmao 😂😂
@@jdawg9137 Yes it is lol. After I first saw your comment I wanted to listen to it again (I hadn't listened to it for a long time) and I pulled it up on youtube 😂.....actually now that I think about it, even though I hardly ever go out of my way to listen to it anymore, that "So long, bitch you did me so wrong" chorus has always been one of those hooks that just kinda pops into my head here and there, from time to time. Haha
@@adammetz7063 Yep, I just looked it up, he didnt make a video that's a fake, but they still got it up under him. 8.1 million views, that's gotta be fake!!! That song had my entire hood bumping like what the fuk? Us Black people saying, what the fuk! Not just white Stan boys. We was like this dude off the chain, then he went to jail.for pistol whipping bouncers outside a club she was at, young bucks dont know this old Eminem ahyt was real life shyt!!! Like when when 50 came out, that's real shyt.
"We all die one day" on Obie Trice 1st album the sickest song on that album by far. 50 cent, Eminem, Lloyd Banks, Obie Trice. Epic song! It's that pump ya up to put in some work song! Whenever I was bout to do some real deal felony sh*t I'd bump that song on tha way.
I don't know if you have ever heard of Wild Cherry but they are a one hit wonder for a son called Play That Funky Music White Boy. It's still one of my favorites.
Here are my top requests: •Nas - “Rewind” •Eminem - Sing for the Moment •Drake ft. Lil Wayne - Going In •Jermaine Dupri - Welcome to Atlanta (Coast to Coast Remix) •DJ Khaled - “All I Do is Win” ft. Ludacris, Rick Ross, T-Pain, & Snoop Dogg •Ludacris - Act a Fool •Ludacris - Pimpin All Over The World
He's talking about "Session One" by Eminem ft. Slaughterhouse "You can call me R. Kelly cos you're in trouble" That song is all bars too, with Royce da 59, Joell Ortiz and Kxng Crooked
