Fun Fact: Eminem wrote the whole track, including Dre’s verses. He surprised Dre with it, wrote it from his heart because people disrespecting Dre and talking BS about him pissed him off. He originally wrote it for Dre and Snoop to do. But Dre liked his vibe on it so much, he put Slim on it instead of Snoop. And when it came out on his album 2001, it and that whole album was hard AF, and shut down all the critics, and this lead single revived Dre’s career as a recording artist. Dre and Shady have a lot of mutual respect and love for each other. They both saved each other in different ways. They’re more than friends at this point, they’re family.

Mm you can always tell if it's an Em track if it feels "punchy" IMO. Most Em tracks are very punchy, they hit you with bars and very rapid fire punch lines, with quick stops and starts, flow switch ups etc. As far as when he produces you can also tell he's producing because he includes a lot of rock and classical instruments into his works. It's pretty awesome that Em has such a noticeable and iconic style that you can just tell almost as soon as you hear something you know it's an Em work.

I think it says a lot about Dre's skills that he is able to rap at the skill level of Em's writing, and vice versa. Em writing lines that he knows Dre is capable of. It made for one hell of a redemption rap. I remember this song felt like it took over the world at the time. I think it's a top five song for both of them. Love the breakdowns as always Knox. I learn so much about rap because of your breakdowns.

Knox has to be one of the best, most adept and proficient people to decipher rap lyrics I’ve seen! He also knows what he’s talking about when it comes to the musicality. He doesn’t just decipher lyrics, he gives a history lesson of the song and artist! Knox is an undisputed lover of, not only the genre of rap/hip-hop, but of the entire culture. He has a deep, vast knowledge and respect from its infancy to the present that’s second to none. Plus, he’s a great artist himself! Not to mention, Knox Hill is one of the coolest names! 😂 Much props and respect to you, Knox! Keep doing what you do! 💯👍🏾

As a random aside, a detail I like is that when Em and Dre have performed this live Em says 'A hand full of gas and a can full of matches' instead of 'A can full of gas and a hand full of matches'.

What I REALLY like is that part of what made Eminem relatable and funny was, unlike most, cocksure rap that said "I'm in control, don't step into my area!", Em always sounded a little neurotic, off, unsure of himself. When he raps the chorus, you really get the idea that people not taking his friend seriously is REALLY affecting him, it's not just a clever string of lyrics. It's almost like a comedian talking about his home life troubles, it's great to listen too, but you also feel his angst.

In case it hasn't been mentioned yet, I think the line about being strapped with gats while you were still cuddling a cabbage patch could be referring Dre's pre-NWA group World Class Wreckin' Cru whose big hit was "The Cabbage Patch." Eazy E dissed Dre back in the early 90s for having worn makeup and wearing parachute pants in the WCWC, but this line just reminds people he was a hardcore OG even back then.

Royce's manager said he went into the studio and Em was telling Dre how to rap several verses and you'd have thought the white boy was producing Dre, Em and Dre were pissed that he said that in an interview, that's what led to Royce going back to Detroit and signing with a label for a bigger advance but lost all the connections that was around Dre and Em never spoke to him for about 5-6 years until Proof and Royce were locked up together and squashed it, then bad v evil came back.

Royce did sign with another label for a lot more money , but he actually was beefing really bad with D12 up until maybe 6 months before Proof died in 2006. Which is why BME first album was never released. There was a documentary called What's Beef that featured the story. I thought it was weird that Eminem linked back up with Royce for Slaughterhouse , and BME , but that's before I saw Proof had ended their beef. Which I'm happy he did.

Great reaction but one thing you missed is Eminems bar of "me and Dre stood next to a burnt down house. With a can full of gas and a hand full of matches and still weren't found out". That was actually an homage to the Detroit holiday of devil's night which is the night before Halloween. It's been a long standing tradition of many Detroit residents to burn down abandoned houses on devil's night aka the night before Halloween and Detroit is known for it's large number of abandoned houses, so much so that you can go on Google Earth and see only a couple houses in an entire city block. However many of the houses have been demolished, there's still quite a few that were burnt down

I mean, both benefited greatly from their friendship...Em got the hottest beat maker in the game and Dre got to release tracks with some of his hottest bars with assistance from the rap games hottest artist. Everyone won. Us included.

There was a radio interview I caught a few years back where Dr. Dre said Eminem didn't actually write his lyrics on this track. Eminem brought the song to Dre but the rhyme scheme Em originally wrote was too fast and intricate for Dre to pull off, and the verses were much longer. Dre kept the same base ideas from Eminem's first draft, but he had to rework it to fit his more measured and simple flow. Dre still adhered to the overall ideas that were in those early verses, but that 70% of what we hear on the finished product had to be rewritten by Dr. Dre himself in his own words to make it work.

I don't fully buy that, for the simple reason that the rhyme schemes are pure Em; Dre can't write intricate bars like that. So while he may have rewritten some of the lines, I don't buy that he rewrote 70% of it.

@@TheToddAndOnly Now that right there, I don't know. It sounds like you know a lot more about rap than I do. I'm primarily a metal head first. I took Dre at his word when he said he rewrote 70% of his verse in his own style for no other reason than this is Dr. fucking Dre we're talking about here- to a rock n roll listener like me, all I know is Dr. Dre is one of the immortals. Therefore, I accepted his responses at face value because it seemed like something in the realm of possibility for one of the all time titans to do. I'll trust you when you argue otherwise because, again, I honestly don't know enough about the genre one way or the other to pass a sufficient judgement on it.

Amazing Knox. So good. Much respect to Dre and Eminem too. PS - I remember so many hours of listening to "The Firm Flop" on my diskman. Not his best, but anyone young in that era knew the genius of Dr Dre. And not everyone got Eminem right away, but now pretty much everyone - EVERYONE - does.

10:05 it's like the equivelant of taking a whole note in a measure and turn it into 8 1/8 notes (especially if singing choral pieces with melisma or like taking a simple drum beat and then bringing in a drum roll XD
