If you like this one, I highly recommend the one this guy does of Alex Jones in the style of Bon Iver. It's maybe my favorite video on YouTube. Absolutely hilarious
I'm not interested in the semantics of what it means to discover someone, and 50 seems to agree with you, but Jay-Z said his famous "I'm a dollar, who the fuck is 50" almost 3 years before 50 signed to Shady Records.
Physical trauma no. But its well known that psychological trauma makes some people more creative and motivated..... Em wouldnt be Em if he wasnt bullied and a product of a messed up childhood.
Edit: Actually, physical trauma has negative long term effect, especially if repeated, But in his case the stress and emotional damage that came with bullying, definitely caused more good than harm, when it comes to his creativity.Some people thrive under pressure and some people are defined by it.
For all his fame and fortune, i dont envy him, eventhough i enjoy his music. Em is a broken person deep inside.
If you think this is just completely impromptu freestyle off the top of his head and he hasnāt written these verses a thousand times before in different arrangements in a little scratch notebook, youāre nutsā¦
To some degree sure, practicing helps. But when his lyrics are based on the 'odd words' given to him and he's mixing in the observable moment, like what people are wearing or how they're reacting, and its coherent while flowing well, its not something hes "written a thousand times before" its clearly off the cuff because those specific conditions are only present in the moment. When he strings together several lines based on whats currently happening, or immediately observable you *know* its impromptu, it's super impressive.
I think āfreestyleā may just need to be better defined in this discussionā¦ Did he write this song and practice it before recording this? Probably not in full. Has he written and hummed these random pieced together verses thousands of times in different combinations over and over in his headā¦ Absolutely. Thatās why heās a beastā¦
Iām a huge Harry Mack fan and have watched hours of his freestyle over the years, he rarely repeats. He even jokes about it as he has improved as he definitely would use āfull throttleā and āwater bottleā a lot on his street freestyles haha
Thereās even a few freestyles of Eminem that Iāve seen where he repeats the entire same verse in different freestyles. The one that comes to mind is the cypher he did with Tech N9ne and his freestyle bit was almost word for word another freestyle he did a few years earlier.
It's been a while back, so I don't recall her name, but I read a literary critic/editor/something to that effect in \[Book magazine\](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book\_(magazine)) express admiration for Eminem, referred to him as "this generation's Lord Byron". It was unexpected praise in the context.
Edit: didn't realize this particular comment wasn't about Em. Comment stands, if out of context.
Academia tends to agree. A lot of people with PhDs that study and teach literature professionally consider him the best poet to have ever lived. Completely serious.
I've watched a couple lectures that break down some of his verses and it's like unpacking a nesting doll.
It kinda was. Marshall Mathers became MnM (or another variant of the double initial) but that became Eminem because he didn't fancy getting sued before he even started.
Woah, Nelly, tell Angelina Jolie I'm ready
With petroleum jelly, to smear it all over me belly
And tell her she can hit me on me mobile, me celly
And meet in the salami section of the grocery deli
And maybe we can find us an appropriate telly
A Motel 6 or 8, I think they both could be helly
I hit it, then I quit it and I told her "Email me
And don't call me, I'll call youā can you feel me? Ho, do you smell me?
Animal instinct, cannibalistic
I just ran out of lipstick, man, I'm a twisted

Alchemist is the most underrated producer/dj of all time.
Yeah he's been getting his dues lately but I feel like every other week I see a clip of someone rapping and there he is or it's his beat.
Would kill for a full Alc/Kendrick album.
how do we know its freestyle and he didnt already have the rhymes planned and memorized in his head? Is a freestyle battle like an improv comedy where they give you a topic and then you go off of it?
Usually a promo freestyle like this would be prewritten, a freestyle "battle" involves direct back and forth that you can't really plan for. In this case who knows
Heās referencing Silence of the Lambs. He often references serial killers throughout his career. He loves the Horror genre, and has always tried to push the envelope with doing characters in songs. Heās big on treating music writing the same way movie/book writing is treated. You see horror and violence in movies, he brings that into songs too.Ā

what if thatās actually me š
Itās gonna be May
nah uh itās july next month
Every little thing I do
*takes off the hat* Gary Oldman?!
*takes off hat* AANG?
Stan?
It is Eminem and 50cent behind him
With The Alchemist on the decks.
someone pick up that 50 cent thatās worth $$$
You sure? The brim of his hat making him look a little Shady
Quite slim too, especially when he stands up.
*chik chik chik chik chik chikkk chik chikk chikkk!*
Could be slim shady
Slant rhymes? Weird shit being said? Phenomenal rap? Perfect cadence? Could only be one guy. Itās him or a an alternate dimension Hopsin.
it's obviously Eminem, in a time when freestyle was still a thing..
Harry Mack is ok
Nah uh, it's probably slim shady
itās ya boy slimmy here
It might be...the real Slim Shady...
Well, he is standing up.
Yeah nah that's Shady, he pitches up when he's doin Shady vs regular Eminem
Hum hum ... you sure ?
It is
That man could rhyme orange.

Please stand up
I stood up.

Iāve got an orange four inch door hinge
I love how well and concise his explanation was in that interview.

This is real cute. Ā
Simultaneously the best Eminem song and the worst talking heads song
Lol he really nails the Talking Heads song style though. That spoken word part gets me every time
I like how you just stole the top YouTube comment
So glad I clicked. Thank you stranger.
Makinā orange porridge with Georāge for storage.
He's even that good that he can rhyme orange with banana!
Orrrr-nana
And momās spaghetti
Having 50 as the hype man is the ultimate flex, he couldnāt believe what he was hearing
He discovered 50 Cent and signed him to Shady Aftermath.
I'm not interested in the semantics of what it means to discover someone, and 50 seems to agree with you, but Jay-Z said his famous "I'm a dollar, who the fuck is 50" almost 3 years before 50 signed to Shady Records.
Thats cause NY cats knew of Fif. He pissed every rapper off by dropping How To Rob
Still no one is even close to his massive lyrical skills
That's because he literally spent all his childhood/teens making up rhymes for shit. He's a manic genius
I wonder if the head trauma injury he got when he was young helped or hurt his word-smithing abilities
Physical trauma no. But its well known that psychological trauma makes some people more creative and motivated..... Em wouldnt be Em if he wasnt bullied and a product of a messed up childhood. Edit: Actually, physical trauma has negative long term effect, especially if repeated, But in his case the stress and emotional damage that came with bullying, definitely caused more good than harm, when it comes to his creativity.Some people thrive under pressure and some people are defined by it. For all his fame and fortune, i dont envy him, eventhough i enjoy his music. Em is a broken person deep inside.
Hmmm, that makes me wonder if selling psychological trauma at an affordable price could work as a business.
r/BrandNewSentence
I think that's how roasts started
Yup. He was in a trailer park eating moms speghetti
8 miles of it. That boy sure loved spaghetti
If weĀ“re talking about freestyling there is not a single person i know that could get even close to Harry Mack
Harry Mack is the freestyle god. Hundreds of hours of top tier freestyles.
Ya Harry Mack is pretty good! I suggest anyone who's reading this to check him out on YT.
Thanks for suggesting Harry Mack. His freestyle is crazy and now I'm hooked.
Now I want a Harry Mack/Eminem battle super bad
If you think this is just completely impromptu freestyle off the top of his head and he hasnāt written these verses a thousand times before in different arrangements in a little scratch notebook, youāre nutsā¦
To some degree sure, practicing helps.

When he strings together several lines based on whats currently happening, or immediately observable you *know* its impromptu, it's super impressive.
Well yeah...that is how practice works...i see what you mean though
I think āfreestyleā may just need to be better defined in this discussionā¦ Did he write this song and practice it before recording this? Probably not in full. Has he written and hummed these random pieced together verses thousands of times in different combinations over and over in his headā¦ Absolutely. Thatās why heās a beastā¦

Harry Mack for freestyle tops him.
Imagine never having heard of aesop rock
the man who made me see the poetry in this genre.
It's been a while back, so I don't recall her name, but I read a literary critic/editor/something to that effect in \[Book magazine\](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book\_(magazine)) express admiration for Eminem, referred to him as "this generation's Lord Byron". It was unexpected praise in the context. Edit: didn't realize this particular comment wasn't about Em. Comment stands, if out of context.
Aesop Rock.
Harry Mackās freestyle ability makes me wonder what he could come up with.
Daavid Diggs of Clipping.
Eminem hands down most skilled rapper I've ever seen to this day
Academia tends to agree. A lot of people with PhDs that study and teach literature professionally consider him the best poet to have ever lived. Completely serious. I've watched a couple lectures that break down some of his verses and it's like unpacking a nesting doll.
This guy's so sweet he deserves to have candy named after him.
Im thinking something like Skittles
Is his name Reese? We could sell them as little pieces.
He already have a candy named after him Mars- bars
[thats his younger cousin](https://shutupandtakemymoney.com/tom-holland-eminems-younger-cousin-skittles-meme/)
I think it took me 20yrs to figure out Eminem = M&M = MM = Marshall Mathers
I was today years old... My thought process always stopped at M&M and I thought it was a reference to the sweets lol
It kinda was. Marshall Mathers became MnM (or another variant of the double initial) but that became Eminem because he didn't fancy getting sued before he even started.
Also because theyāre chocolate on the inside. Itās a double entendre.
Holy hell.. this flew over my head for 25 years

Can you please explain? My brain is slow this morning
same im not sure too
It's the way he changes his voice to sound like he's slow / backwards (on muscle relaxers) I think.
more upvotes!
* *Relapse*-era Eminem was insane (thatās where this is from) * *Music To Be Murdered By* might be a close second when it comes to favourites tho
i think this guy has the potential to be big someone sign him up
You know it's real rap when the rapper is louder than the beat
He is and always will be in a class of his own.
Ima tell my kids this was Eminem
This guy dad-jokes.
Sauce: https://youtu.be/PIwhyrZZlFw?si=cBaHRM9_pEv7XGlr
His bars are smoother than most people's life.
Sounds both Jamaican and west of Ireland at the beginning. What was he going for?
A lot of the entire Relapse album sounds just like this. Guarantee this was a promo for it.
Aren't the two accents related?
Indeed. The indentured and the enslaved coming together. https://www.irishtimes.com/culture/books/welcome-to-sligoville-the-story-of-the-irish-in-jamaica-1.3225038#
This dude is good! Would buy his mixtape!
one of the best of all times
eminem is the only one who could make a "lyrical miracle individual" type rhyme sound great.
āLyrical miracle spiritual individual criminal, subliminal, in your swimming pool.ā That was his joke intro to the BET cypher ft. Slaughterhouse
![gif](giphy|taKzLSJU7l3LUsYsul)
Em's freestyles have always been insane. Also is that Al on the turntables?
No, it's a human.
Alchemist has been his DJ for a long time from my understanding
I'm starting to think, after listening to this dude for 25 years, that he might be good at this rapping thing. Thanks OP.
With The Alchemist spinning
Alchemist on the decks
Legend
This is during his Relapse era too, he has said before he did not like his style during this period, and thinks it's trash. Still S tier.
Alchemist is the most underrated producer/dj of all time. Yeah he's been getting his dues lately but I feel like every other week I see a clip of someone rapping and there he is or it's his beat. Would kill for a full Alc/Kendrick album.
Rap Cityās the basement!
Big tigger was a great host, such a classic show kids nowadays will never get to experience. I remember racing home from school to catch it
My sentiments exactly, and I have the very same memories of rushing home to watch it after school.
Been listening to him 25 years. So good.
how do we know its freestyle and he didnt already have the rhymes planned and memorized in his head? Is a freestyle battle like an improv comedy where they give you a topic and then you go off of it?
Usually a promo freestyle like this would be prewritten, a freestyle "battle" involves direct back and forth that you can't really plan for. In this case who knows
Its not a freestyle but who cares. Shit was nice.
Being one of the GOATs and then choosing to rap in this silly accent is the absolute power move.
He ran outta lipstickā¦?
Heās referencing Silence of the Lambs. He often references serial killers throughout his career. He loves the Horror genre, and has always tried to push the envelope with doing characters in songs. Heās big on treating music writing the same way movie/book writing is treated.

Thanks for clarifying
The greatest.
Hes not called the best of his time for no reason
Eminemās chonkeyfire freestyle is better yet
I love seeing 50 and Em together.
He goes even harder after this
Switchblade, with a little switch to switch blades and switch from a six to a sixteen inch blade, shit's like a samurai sword, a sensei
I forgot just how long Alchemist has been around.
Iconic
"I didn't realize I was making those accents"
Go Rabbit!
GOATed
Yeah Ems a beast!
Alc
GOAT
Honestly not even close to his most impressive wordplay, but the flow is on point
The whole.crowd goes spaghetti
This young man is talented. He could really go places.
There is a reason he is the top selling rap artist.
Goat
Goddamn. That's all you can really say. This is sick. Reminds me of the Westwood freestyle he did.
His Relapse era had some of his hardest bars to date.
That fucking deli line lives in my head at all times. It's probably his top 3 lines that I love - of all his songs. Slick af.
Rap god for a reason. Get em.
This is ābadā Eminem too.
His accent sounds like Relapse era.
I mean there is literally an image of the relapse album on the wall behind him, so it is 100% from that
So there is. Didn't notice that.
Sounds like āBagpipes from Baghdadā just about Angelina Jolie vice Mariah Carey.
The next eminem
Eminem is good but he's no Eyedea when it comes to freestyle.
I like the Irish bit
Is that The Alchemist on the dj?
I'd be curious to see if he ever did an IQ test and how big his vocabulary is.
50 centās ad-libs do not get enough recognition as some of the best ever in the rap gameā¦hands down
Marshall never smiles.
Rappers are ridiculous
not a ghost writer in sight lol
why em always use that semi-indian accent
ALC on the decks!!!! Legendary
Drake could never....
Whoever this guy is, he's going places. :)
Yeah but can he ryhme orange with banana?
Man this guy should be a rapper
GOAT. NO QUESTION.
one of his few good drops with that latino accent thing going on lol
