That last line ("Why be a king... when you can be a god") is important. Like, there was a "King of Rock" (Elvis) and then a "King of Pop" (MJ) but nobody has ever tried to claim the title "King of Rap," because they would instantly become a huge target and get dogpiled on by everybody else, as they should. So Eminem pole-vaulted right over that title and claimed "Rap God" instead. And he pulled it off. Anybody ever mentions a "rap god," you automatically think of Eminem. He's that dude. PS: Rakim (as in Eric B. and Rakim) predates the Wu-Tang Clan by well over a decade. Maybe you were thinking of Raekwon?
The funny part for me...Eminem is now inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame! Most people have to listen at least a few time so get what he's saying! lol.
This was one of the very first bars I caught from EM back in the day. I don't know why but it made me look at his music (and hip hop) completely different. Ever since that day I listen to music completely different and understand why the true lyricists are so special. I know EM has much harder bars than this example, but I wanted to comment and agree with your post as it brought back a lot of memories!
Everything of Eminem is so wild, his bars are so crazy no one can can say he isn't the GOAT, or they can feel free to say who thinks is their best. And we can debate that.
Rakim = Eric B and Rakim, i aint no joke, microphone feind, Thinking of a master plan= Rakim, Rakim changed hip hop to what the Eminems, J Coles, Kendrick Lamars of today do. Before Rakim you had the Melle Mel's who rhymed at the end of a line, Rakim is the one who started inner and outter rhymes, syllable rhyming with different cadences and flows, he was a legit game changer for hip hop and is honestly the place and point in time hip hop advanced. Kinda like WW1 weapons were used at the start of WW2 and then there was mass innovation and advancement to Jets and Missiles from prop planes and artillery, Rakim is that important to the story and lineage of hip hop. Stay blessed 👊🏼
Love your reactions.. it’s hard for me to fathom anyone not hearing this track by now. (Considering how much air play it got). I’m not complaining, i find it extremely entertaining to see 1st time reactions. You both have great energy together - keep up the fantastic work!
That is because most likely they have heard it before and are farming up views by saying they have not. Many reactors are doing this. It is not surprising.
@@RareHarmony I can't argue that and I won't lie and say that it wasn't my first thought when seeing it. Mind you, up until 6 months ago, Rap God was the last song I had heard from EM in > a decade. I had other things going on in life and music was not one of them. So it is possible. simply hard to believe.
@@seancaceres619 He means you'd have to be alive at that time period to even know what max headroom is. I'm pretty sure most people who react to this weren't born or were too young to actually watch the show, Hence they don't know about it. Some of the older reactors do know about the reference.
@@NintenDak why are you telling me what he means? I made a statement, I didn't ask a question. I already know 99% of the SJWs that try and cancel M weren't born to get any of the references . And yes I mean we're not Born to get any of the references. Our rap is king, yours/there's or whoever the fucks is trash. Your lives are make believe cos play mumble rap 💩💩💩 That's why M says this in The Ringer @ 3:23 to 3:30+ There's only a handful of present day rappers that have anything, resembling talent. Nobody has shit on M.
It's funny cuz now he is actually inducted into Rock and Roll Hall of Fame thank God he got his flowers why we still have him and Rakim is not from Wu-Tang he way before then him and Big Daddy Kane pretty much started this hip hop s*** along with Run DMC then came NWA took over thank you for that group because they gave me my two favorite all time ever Eazy-E gave me Bone Thugs-N-Harmony and Dr Dre gave me the goat Marshall Mathers Slim Shady Eminem Ice Cube always going to be in my top also he kept NWA going to make all this happen thank you love hip hop peace
15:58 ( ) » lol, as a brazilian, I was just able to get some of those with the reactions I've seen around. I kinda know how you're feeling, bro 😆 and I guess what you were tryin' to say is about he singing too fast and getting out of the beat and keeps the rythm of the rhymes untill it fits on the beat back again and breaking the sentences to better fit on the beat (not to mention the double senses and so on). something like that, right?
You're fucking making bars up that aren't even bars asgard not ass guard, the whole verse was about comic references, nothing to do with anyones ass needing guarded.

That "im witnessing a massacre(mass occur)like a church gathering taken place" bar is hard.

Same with the Columbine line which got him in trouble. He came out with a new song where he sings about gun violence so he has grown.
Rakim was not in Wu-Tang clan he was a solo artist...Rakim and Erik B
Is Erik a pseudonym? Otherwise , not solo.
rakim + dj premier= gangstarr
Yes they were their own people.
