This is a work of genius. The entire song is about rhyming unrhymable words in a manner so smooth we do not even notice. Verse 1 He spends his first few lines directly saying that we're about to witness a masterpiece. He says this with the primary words, "witness," "purest," "rawest," "flawless," "hardest," "honest," and "artist," all of which are essentially or completely rhymeless. (They have, respectively, 1, 2, 0, 1, 0, 0, and 0 rhymes.) The next line has the phrases "chip off," "old block," and "old dock," none of which have any rhymes. The name of the song is "Business," which has zero rhymes, and the theme of the song is Batman and Robin, both of which have zero rhymes. He employs both of these words in the subsequent line, and in the next line employs the words "Saddam" and "Laden," neither of which rhyme with anything. He ends the next line with the rhymeless word "pilot." He ends the line after this with the rhymeless word "hinges," rhymes with "oranges," "syringes," and then transitions to rhyming "inches" (again, none have rhymes). The first line of the hook ends with the rhymeless name of the song, "Business," which he rhymes with "what is this" and "get a witness" (which also has no rhymes). Verse 2 The first line ends with "miracles," which has no rhymes. He promptly rhymes it with "wilikers" and "syllables," neither of which has any rhymes. The next line ends with "Gotham," which has no rhymes, and the next line ends with "criminals," which has no rhymes. He rhymes "rap criminals" with previous "bat syllables." The line after this employs the phrase "skip to your lou" ("your lou" has no rhymes) and ends with the phrase "do best" (no word or word-string rhymes with this). He ends the next line with "do it," then "the shit," then "hated on," obviously no rhymes. He ends the next line with "no such thing," as if saying there's no such thing as a rhyme for it, but then immediately rhymes "no such thing" twice, and then says "so much more"-and rhymes it. Then, as if signing the piece, he finishes with two rhymes of his own name "Marshal," neither of which has any rhyme. Verse 3 Third verse functions the same way. In the first two lines he's found two rhymes for "duo" (one of which is the first two syllables of "you already"), and rhymes "dynamic" with "why panic," and rhymes "fully capable." He then rhymes "duet" 5 times in the space of 2 lines. In the next two lines, he rhymes "get to see an MC" with "these beats and be," while beginning a rhyme-streak with rhymeless "so freely"-as if saying he's still free even with the constraint of using only rhymeless words-and then rhymes it thirty times in eight lines. The whole thing reminds me of how Bach would impose extraordinary constraints on his work and compose within those constraints as if they weren't even there because that's how much of a genius he was. Eminem is the Bach of rap.

@LFR FAMILY The Eminem Show is the first rap album I hear as a child. I DON'T THINK people in the US KNOW just how much Eminem influenced RAP / Hip Hop outside US. Millions upon millions of people literally would've not heard of the style of music without him. Very possibly it would've spread around the world at some point. But he spread it up to literally everywhere around the world at an explosive rate at the begin of 2000s. He is the most influential rap artist world wide ever undisputed!! He increased the popularity of other artists of the same genre world wide ( by shouting them out and just by being in the genre) and thus helped them sell waaayy more records. Actually lets take that back slightly. In the style / way he rapped and the way the music around it sounded, might have been the exact reason he expanded the culture around the world. So Hip Hop / Rap might not be as popular as it is today without him!!! But enough about that subject for now. This song in it self is possibly my favorite from the album. It just sounds so easy to him and the way the it flows.

This is so weird I literally just woke up 30 mins ago (8.40am here in Aus) and this song was stuck in my head, hop on KZread scroll down my subscriptions and boom here it is haha that's weird.

Epic Elton John reference. Forgiveness ...education knowledge. .. equals WISDOM. Also move with the times.

You have to listen to him a lot to know him, love your work and thanks for sharing :)

One of my favorites. Definately his best album, in my humble opinion.

One of my favorites!!!!!!😁💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥🔥

Great reaction!

Love the beat on this one not to mention the lyrics GAD DAMN

Absolutely love every song on this CD

Still bump this in the whip too this day! *classic*

loveeee this one!💖💖💖

Dre and Em did some great work back in the day...

The Eminem Show is hands down his best album in my opinion, MMLP made a lot more impact, but TES was a masterpiece, the best combination of crazy and mature Em, and to be able to do that after SSLP and MMLP, Em doesn't get enough credit.

This is my jam

Curtian closes all down on my feet.

That Dre influenced Cali-like boppin beat and production with some flat out filthy lyrics was really something special and probably will never be replicated

speaking of elton you should definitely check out of some of his stuff since youve been doing that era recently can you feel the love tonight is a pretty powerful song!

yo, I miss seeing you in the car. great reaction!

All that played in the CD player back then was this and Get rich or die tryin. At least where I grew up I was like 12 or 13 or something that’s wild still ridiculous to this day the syllable patterns fuckin wild.

This was a great album!!

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Your Intro is 💯

Aside from Tupac's All eyes on me album, this is the best rap album I've ever heard

First lap dance I ever got was to this song lol

Can you react to eminem as the world turns , you wont regret it! Love the content man

Bro i love your shirt, where can i buy those ? Sry for my bad english skills xD still learning :)

I would love to see you react to black veil brides. good songs are: lost it all, in the end, wake up, good bye agony....

The Eminem show went diamond

This is his best album!

When Elton John sang the chorus of stan live on TV, Slim shady and Elton John hugged, and it looked like Em really didn't want to do that. Like he actually gave in to the pressure that was weighing on him from little loud bitches, I mean from the left. And even if Slim was homophobic then, he knew enough to know that his attitude was hurting him. So he pressed on and pushed past it like Dre did with him being white. And now he has a legend as, a friend, an AA sponsor and an NA sponsor while growing into a better person. God bless him, but I miss the anger.

I think music to be murdered by, especially side B, really showed him having fun, and being goofy, whail killing it ofcourse lol. Hsd that old slim shady, with the matured marshall.

Is there going to be a "Slim Shady Sundays" too?

Did he just say, "grow beards, get weird"??

@@shintenkai1648 how is that referencing this bar? ‘Grow beards, get weird’ has nothing to do with a ‘weird beard’, just the same two words rhyming AT MOST, he heard the line and thought of his corny bar from there, but it’s not a reference in anyway, and I don’t think he even got it from this bar

Can you react to nothing more this is the time(ballast), Jenny, or fade in/ fade out

That's true about Elton I believe he was like 20 years sober at that time so helped him and you should react to Elton John and pink talk about em on the Graham Norton show from here in the 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 shits hilarious brah you won't be disappointed Elton explains how em isn't homophobic and that's coming from probablies if not the biggest gay icon in the world

eminem put elton john on the album he produced for 2pac.. Ghetto gospel .. nice song.

ITS A CLASSIC ALBUM MAN NOT JUST THE BEST

Did you know this was also a diss to insane clown posse? Or he at least addressed them in a few lines

James Brown, "Love Me Tender." It's an Elvis cover done right after the King's death I think you'd like. He settled the Elvis controversy and no one's opinion matters more than the Godfather...here's the best link: kzread.info/dash/bejne/rKZ2zZKQddXWeLg.html

Lol @ insane clown possy evaporating after this release

He's a cocky Caucasian!!! 😊😊

You can't have a 50 beat and not know about Em lol

He a punk these days and about his ego

He's not the 🐐 but I ain't heard anyone else rhyme anything with 🍊. Come on now. His rhyme schemes, his double and triple entendres are insane. I don't expect simple minded ppl to understand. Everyone fears him therefore he has no real friends. It's a sad story. He's a friend to many but, ain't many actually a friend to him. Royce proved that most recently. Smh. Disrespect in the HIGHEST degree. Ppl can't get past his skin and that's just disappointing. I'm disappointed in Snoop and Royce and everyone else talkin that racist shit. 🙄

It's sad how much hate he's getting the fact people actually think his discography isn't worth anything, he literally introduced rap and hip hop to hundreds of millions around the world, there's murals of him in almost every major city in the world. The man is the greatest lyricist of all time. He might not be everyones taste and people might not think he's the GOAT but I do and if not the straight out GOAT then at the very least GOAT lyricist. He is literal rap royalty and if the pigment of his skin was different it wouldn't even be in conversation, everyone would say he's the GOAT it's sadly true, but also good to see people in the black community love him and respect the hell outta him. His legacy will be one of the biggest of all time. There won't be anyone else in the world like him and that's what puts him in the Pac category, no-one will ever be like them.
