How to properly breakdown a rap: pulls out gun

Only Em himself could break this down any better. Good stuff, bro!

This guy is a walking rap library😮🙌🏾 Amazing breakdown...

Whoever dislikes this breakdown is straight up stupid. Those would be the people who cant comprehend intelligent lyricism and breakdowns. Ur legit reactions are worth every second of a viewer’s time because u hardly miss any bars. Appreciate u taking the time to break these songs down and educate. Keep it up!

bro how tf do you have only 2.8k??? youre literally the best reaction/breadown reaction out there.

Seriously - that was a clinic. Rap scientist. That’s what you are. Thanks. 🎩

I'm an old head and I'm very impressed with you young man. Great breakdown. You got a new sub.

Damn, the mass occur/massacre bar was insane at 8:56.

"Who thinks their arms are long enough to slap box" referes to the broadway musical "Your Arms Too Short to Box with God".

This dude has some of the most in depth breakdowns on artists that many listeners would never catch. When you pop the pistol to enforce your breakdown, that’s some breakdown legend ish.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY YOU DIDN'T HAVE AT LEAST 100K SUBS YET

You could dedicate this whole channel (or a separate one) entirely to Eminem songs and it would blow up big time. Not to knock your other videos but im an Em fan and id binge that shit. 10/10

I think you missed the “lead a new school full of students” line. Busta Rhymes was in a group called “Leaders Of The New School” before he became a huge solo rapper.

You’re really bad ass at this man keep it up! you should react to not a like by Eminem ft Royce the 5’9

Its like listening to the song for the first time... no doubt... like MJ is to basketball... in rap Em is G.O.A.T period.

The best Rap God breakdown I've seen, thanks!!! I heard someone say that the line "it's actually disastrously bad for the wack" is a sub diss towards Canibus after the 2012 KOTD battle with Dizaster. What do you think? A reach, or no?

My suggests for the next Eminem breakdowns: Sing for the Moment, Beautiful, or Cleanin’ Out My Closet. Great work though, love these!

Crazy breakdown my man. 🙌🏻💪🏻 Its so American to pull out that Big gun like let me show you what a halfcock is 🔫😳😂🤣

Love your videos man. When you were talking about listening to Em in the back of your dads car super low because he didn't want you listening to him, that got me laughing. When I was a kid my brother and I loved Eminem but our parents took away the Slim Shady LP and said we couldn't listen to it until they approved of it. Later that night we heard them in the living room listening to the CD and we could hear my mom cackling every now and then. They gave it back to us the nest day, and my Mom has been an Eminem fan ever since, even my Dad acknowledged that Em was a genius wordsmith.

Also, "now I lead a new school full of students"....busta was part of the group leaders of the new school. It's a triple, not a double. Btw, the track you couldn't remember is patiently waiting.

I don't know if I am ready for this man! Think i will suffer from BARdiac arrest

I keep coming back because your breakdowns are PhD level dissections of Em's verses. No one else digs as deep into each line and explores the breadth of Em's references. It's a masterclass every time. Thanks for doing such an amazing job!

BRO i knew rap god was a masterpiece by Em but damn after watching your breakdown, i realized i've been under appreciating this song for the 6 years!! Thank you for the amazing breakdown

That Waka Flocka bar had me like 😬🤯 the first time I heard it bruh. And hell yeah get on some mixtape Lupe! Too much 🔥

Great breakdown. You amplify the greatness of the song. Got me sharing with excitement all your breakdowns to my wife and family. In an attempt to show how many layers of genius Em brings to any track. Thanks. Keep them coming.

This breakdown was incredibly insightful and unveils the intricate genius of the lyrics! Thanks for your hard work!

I can't wait for this breakdown!! One of my favorite tracks of all time. Let's get it!!

Thought I had caught most of the bars on this song back in 2013... I was wrong... Thanks for this breakdown, it has made me appreciate this song that much more a whole 7 years later!

🔥🔥 as always

Bro!!! Loved the gun breakdown! Sick side piece!

The 50 song that you refered to but forgot the name of around 7:05 was Patiently Waiting. A classic. Great breakdown bro

I love how good you break down stuff, but mans just pulled out a gun to explain something i can’t bro😂😂

You should change your channel's name. How bout : Alien Brain

Only reactor that catches every bar and can actually understand what he's hearing ..nicely played good sir

Great job bro... if you don't mind, I'd like to make some suggestions for possible future breakdowns... top 3 most underrated Eminen songs for me: Legacy, Headlights and Castle, honorable mention for 'Beautiful'.. Legacy because it's such and inspiring song and he rhymes almost the whole song to the same sound. If you're gonna do 'Headlights' you would have to do 'Cleaning out my closet' first because they go hand-and-hand. And 'Castle' should be followed by 'Arose'. Keep up the good work.

I found this channel like half an hour ago and I ain't gonna leave until I watch every fucking vid!! This guy is crazy..

You’re awesome man! Love ya content! I have not seen a single other youtuber with such deep analysis like literally every line. Please do these more frequently. Much love

It was patiently waiting if I'm not mistaken where Em is talking about Tupac,Biggie and Big L

hey this is another meaning for the Busta Rhymes part, Busta back in the like early 90s was a part of the group "Leaders of the New School" some amazing shit figured id throw it in the comments since i didnt see anyone else drop this little delicious gem on ya lol

Ready or not, here it comes... Wow, I am anticipating this breakdown Bro-tato. Ernest is by far the most knowledgeable Eminem breakdown/reactor on KZfaq! Maybe he'll grant me my wish for a breakdown of DEADWRONG W/Biggie & ANYMAN from Soundbombing 2! They just don't know, but I know, you can do it. Peace Out.

Bro. Your breakdowns are legit. I am a new subscriber. I first found your channel when you discovered NF, but have since been going through your videos and enjoying every one of them.

Just discovered you last week, I appreciate your work on each video. I am shocked you don’t have more subs, keep grinding, it’s coming. This should be one of highest rated rap breakdown channel imo. 👊👏💪🤞🙌

Why dont this dude get more props he good with this EM breakdown

OMG DUDE!!! That Super Sonic reference did go over my head. Thank you for the clarification dude word. I remember listening to Super Sonic in popping battles back in the day lol

I need that green lighting.

I am a little late to dsicovering your breakdowns, but great job. I understood about 75/80% of what I thought Eminem was trying to say, but you broke it down even more for me to understand. Keep-up the good work of breaking down songs.

Also the "shock rap" line ties unto Aftermath signing Marilyn Manson, who was called "shock rock" when he came out. As in mostly shock value.

Nice to see your channel is growing! Been here since 4000 followers

Best breakdown so far i watched so many reaction videos and most of them were abele to break less than 60% of the whole thing, finally i got it and enjoyed it

this deserves more attention

Nobody seems to catch the word play on Rap God / GodZilla both having God in the name

I just had to add, the opening with: 6 minutes slim shady you're on is a call back to the song "remember me" from the MMLP where it has a voice that says the same thing! That is dope AF!! LOVE THIS SONG! Incredible reaction Ernesto!! 🔥🔥🔥❤

I read somewhere, prob genius, that the “maxi pad/dizastrously bad” line was in reference to the KOTD battle between Cannibus and Dizaster where Cannibus choked and had to pull out a notepad, it was really uncomfortable to watch or “dizastrously bad”. Would you recap a battle on here? If so, Iron Solomon vs. Dizaster was insane.

Best breakdown ever. I said it before, your knowledge of the rap game is unmatched.

Finally a person that is worthy to reacting to Eminem music Jeez such a fan now watch 3 video's prior and this guy's on point pointing out all the bars and the first to pick up on waka flow change and bars. the Odin line the laptop in my jeans/genes finally I don't have to drop comments on what the point was and Eminem wordplay doubles when people call him whack. Thanks for your reactions video's getting me through the lockdown much love from South Africa

Im a bit late but after watching your newer em video i decided to go back through your catalog. My dude, you are very good. Like i must have heard this song at least 50 times (no cap) and i've never noticed some of these lines. This is why I love em. Can hear his song 100 times and still notice somethin new. Thank you dude

Love that little bit of Joji at the beginning

Busta Rhymes was also in the group Leaders of the new school. Great breakdown as always!

Found this finally. Been looking for a breakdown for quite a while now . Great job man!

You’re the 3rd reviewer to say their mom let them listen to Eminem on the low from their pops. I think more mommas like Eminem than hate him.

Your breakdown gives a new outlook to the rap. I've been listening to it wrong all these days. Damn

it was also a shot to Canibus when he says HERE IS A MAXI PAD that was a reference to the battle between Canibus and Dizaster where Canibus requested for his notebook to check rhymes. it was disastrously bad

You missed the ramen noodle / rhymin noodle aka his brain. 🔥

Dude you literally know every song he has love u man u literally are the best especially when it comes to understanding what Em is saying

I somehow got myself deep in a reaction KZfaq binge and found myself here. My guy you straight KILLED this. I’m not saying that I catch every single bar, because I definitely don’t, but I really thought I caught all of them in Rap God. Boy was I WRONG.

Oh my god, i just found this channel. Finally i am about to watch everything you have done. That fucking break down was insane man great job.

Bro keep grinding !!! 100% Breakdown !

Rap God was also put in the Guinness world record for most words in a hit song. 1560 words. I'm surprised nobody's mentioned it or maybe I missed it somewhere.

Wow man I always thought that summa lumma dooma llama line was just filler to keep up with the rhyme scheme but nope it actually has a meaning behind it. Incredible

Everything you said in this video is great. However, no one ever noticed the visuals. He starts with Max Hedrome, Pong, Mario Brothers, Rockin Sock'em Robots and and so many other references to rap greats in the background. As the years go on he starts going into The Matrix. You have the lyrics down, but the visuals tell a better story.

Great breakdown. You should watch what Knox Hill did in his 2 hours breakdown, and there is still levels that arent fully covered. Just one I noticed while watching yours; "Deva Stating" as in a god a deva speaking statements. EM has more layers than anyone can uncover without dedicating whole thesis to the work.

I think I've said this before, but Ernest should be called "The Professor". This is the best breakdown I've ever seen!

Dude amazing break down. I’d like to add that general Zod is not the god of krypton, he was just a military leader sent to earth to retrieve Superman (in certain incarnations). The god of the DC universe is the presence. But also Kryptonians are often compared to gods, it’s pretty evident on runs like the injustice series. Or even compared to the pinnacle of human’s in the words of lex Luther. The line itself most likely comes from Superman 2 (1980) where Zod tells the president of the United States to “kneel before general Zod.” Because he thinks he’s the ruler of earth, basically trying to make the whole world kneel before him.

I just listened to Bad Guy today, off of the MMLP2 (for the first time) and holy hell... Took me by surprise.🔥

Every music by Eminem is a phenomenon

Noting yet. On the kick off reaction breakdown.

Also, school flunkey followed by "skills brung me", emphasising the lack of education in saying brung instead of brought. Or at least that's how I took it.

Bruv! I was just listening to this on the way home, and you have no idea how excited I was to see you just dropped a breakdown on it! Haven't even finished the video yet, just had to comment. And yeah, I never caught that 6 minutes adlib. Good catch!

“it’s actually Disastrously (Diazster) bad” He’s actually referencing the battle between Canibus and Dizaster in which Canibus lost and pulled out a notepad. Another note: In the video when he says that, one of the screens show a rap battle.

Just started watching you a couple of days ago first vid was the lil dicky sway breakdown and like all these comments are saying you’re really the only channel that fully breaks down bars and gives a good explanation mad props your channels gonna blow up wait on it

Hey Bro, I just wanna appreciate your hardwork on this video but this video is truly underrated.

This is the second video of yours I've seen (first was Godzilla) and I LOVE LOVE LOVE that you cover the meanings of things from a perspective of a rapper and rap history AS WELL as the highbrow educated references. If Em weren't a rapper, he could have written for Futurama and blown those Harvard folks minds (for a silly cartoon, definitely Em's speed of humor and silly while still smart).

Nice play into "When the Music Stops.."

You really are amazing at breaking down eminems bars bro it’s crazy bro. Mad respect

I think he sees “ 6 minutes Slim Shady you’re on “ is Kathy Griffin on the Real Slim Shady

Yo man deserves a million views, btw new subscriber here!

You're comments and analysis are awesome. And you are soooo cute!!!

Is one of the last lines about tripping a girl down the stairs referencing “the staircase” documentary? Lol

The fact that Ernest only had 2.8k subs when this was dropped

How many other rappers are able to rap quadruple entendres. I dont know any.

3:13 man i saw that "psych!" coming a mile away hahah

MIXTAPE LUPE FOR THE WIN. This is an excellent video coverage of this song. I consider Rap God one of Eminem's best songs even if it's a recent one.

How did this song go under my radar. Yeah im a metalhead but im into rap. The lyrics are mindblowing.

You are the best. A master in your own right!!👏👏👏👏mad props

The six minutes line is a call back, homage to Doug E Fresh. “Six minutes, Six minutes, Six minutes, Doug E Fresh you’re on!” Maybe a reach, six six six. 666 “Knock Knock, let the devil in! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I love your reactions but you brought out a gun and were safe with it. I love that! The lack of knowledge that people have but still own guns is scary! I can't wait for more NF by the way!

Busta Rhymes was in a group called Leaders of the New School before he went solo

Honestly. You're the Reaction God

Also the rap battle with disaster and cannabis. He asked for the big notepad when he lost.

"Pen will go off" I always heard "Pinacle off" Now I'm thinking it's a deliberate double entendre man. Fuck knows haha. Sick video so far
