EMINEM - BEST FRIEND "AGAIN" VERSE 4 VERSE CHALLENGE!!
Added 2020-11-13 17:06:20 +0000 UTCWhose the best? Lets have fun with it.
We starting off with Eminem of course, he's a good measuring point probably the best to determine if other rappers are great. So here's the challenge. We're starting with "Best Friend". Find me another rapper that has a verse CLEARLY better than Best Friend. First come First serve, DM ur selections on the Patreon, I'll go thru them and choose 10 to post on a poll for you guys. After a day of voting, we will determine the top 3 and I will hold a live reaction this Sunday where we all will determine if the selections are better than Eminem's Best Friend verse. Those that provided me with winning verses will win prizes.
Rules.
1. Every patreon will be able to view the live reaction
2. Tier 3s and above are the only ones eligible to provide verses for the challenge
3. First come first serve; after I gather 10 songs for the poll, I will no longer be taking verses
4. I will hold live votes after each live reaction to determine if a verse is better than Best Friend.
5. The winners will receive prizes.
This will be a series, so get ready for some lit shit!

2021-08-04 15:25:17 +0000 UTCjust caught the counted out part too with the sheep...even Stevie missed it while getting all the other parts of it...imagine writing something that people can still miss even when trying to find everything and listening repeatedly for it...madness!
Aidan O' Brien
2021-08-04 15:24:13 +0000 UTCAnd oooohhhhhh I just realised the whole “not even the doctors at the hospital are gonna shiggy-shock you back to life. It’s in-piggy-possible to revive you. That’s word to the diggy doc”....... Redman has a song called Diggy Doc and we all know Em loves Redman.🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Janni Nielsen
2020-11-29 09:28:31 +0000 UTCNah I don’t think so. Him and Budden weren’t on bad terms until the revival hate, at least not on the surface. Plus Em himself has said he doesn’t take subliminal shots like that. Bit of a reach

2020-11-23 23:55:53 +0000 UTCWell said
Deann Bennett
2020-11-23 23:51:18 +0000 UTCHis question is another artist that can come close not another em verse.
Deann Bennett
2020-11-23 23:47:11 +0000 UTCAbsolutely agree. The only one that can come close is another em verse. Different artist?? Nope there’s not one
Deann Bennett
2020-11-23 23:46:01 +0000 UTCHe asked for different artist not verse
Deann Bennett
2020-11-23 23:44:25 +0000 UTCSame.everyone is posting other eminem verses not another artist🙄🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
Deann Bennett
2020-11-23 23:41:52 +0000 UTCSo STEVIES ACTUAL QUESTION WAS..who OTHER THAN EMINEM...has something that is close to this verse...NOT WHAT EMINEM VERSE that comes close to this BUT WHO ELSE MEANING DIFFERENT RAPPER🙄🙄🙄 my answer is idk anyone else that can come close to putting together a verse like Eminem best friend. The ONLY one I can compare it to is to himself!!! Eminem level is above anything I have ever heard.

Billy De Graw
2020-11-19 22:32:57 +0000 UTCStevie you are the best bro. Keep it up homie. I wanna hear scary movie Eminem. And Any man by Eminem. 🔥 🔥
John Stark
2020-11-18 03:10:54 +0000 UTCChloriseptic remix w 2 chains is probably one of the hardest verses or eminems in my opinion
Jon Farley
2020-11-16 22:36:06 +0000 UTCOne thing people miss in this verse: If you are not my belly button, don't tell me nothing! This is him making a shot at Joe Budden. He pauses slightly after saying belly to make it Budden don't tell me nothing. Him and Budden at the time were not on good terms.
Steven Smith
2020-11-16 05:40:32 +0000 UTCMaaaaaaaybe Em's song Believe could be on that level - the way Best Friend is Proof inspired, Believe is directed to the fans... it's passionate af. Schemes, wordplay, doubles, cadence... ??
Erin Liebner
2020-11-16 03:15:44 +0000 UTCI've heard this song more times than I can count, and I STILL caught something new watching your reaction.. They tend to flock like shepherds, The black sheep, But I'll be the worst thing that these motherfuckers ever heard (herd) WHEN I'M COUNTED OUT.. You count sheep to try to sleep.. Which he had a problem doing, which led to his addiction and overdose. (Not sure if he meant for that to be relevant, but it's still kinda crazy).
Chris Ogden
2020-11-15 20:17:38 +0000 UTCNooooppee.. I forfeit. There MIGHT be another Em verse that can beat this one, but I can't think of another verse from another rapper than can definitely match this.

2020-11-15 15:10:12 +0000 UTCU can try 2pac Hellrazor 3rd verse. Emotions in that verse are insane. I dont think it tops ems verse tho
Isak Samardzic
2020-11-15 13:21:21 +0000 UTCI don't think it's enough but I do know of a pretty insane verse if you wanna give it a listen. 2nd verse of Chino XLs - Wordsmith The whole song is absolute fire tho 🔥🔥
dennis pugh
2020-11-15 10:38:17 +0000 UTCLmfao no joke I'm a hip-hop head and I got nothing. This is one of ems top verses ever and I really can't think of anything that tops it off the top of my head. This challenge is way to hard 🤣
dennis pugh
2020-11-15 10:34:29 +0000 UTChaving a thick skin and a short temper are separate things. a thick skin just means insults don't really affect you or bring you down - you don't let that cripple you. you're still gonna be you without missing a beat. but a short temper and short patience means you don't have time for bullshit. you know it's dumb as fuck and you call it out and put morons in their place, without letting what they say about YOU actually bother you emotionally. that's pretty perfectly Eminem.....if he didn't have a thick skin he wouldn't have survived the controversy and drama (fuck - he actively poked the bear with a gleeful middle finger). but he also has limited patience and WILL snap back. don't test him.

2020-11-15 06:25:35 +0000 UTCI’d throw royce in that too
steven
2020-11-15 06:09:24 +0000 UTCThis verse is going to be hard to top. Im going to go down the wormhole of KXNG Crooked and find a verse, he's the only person I can think of that can come close to this verse.
Gursharan
2020-11-15 04:16:40 +0000 UTCThis verse can’t be fucked with. Shits on another planet y’all!!!!🔥🔥🔥
Rimbo
2020-11-15 01:00:03 +0000 UTCHomophone is the word you are looking for - this was my favorite Em verse by far until Kamikaze and Music to be Murdered By, for me personally there are a few verses in those I would rank higher

Musa Shabulinzenze
2020-11-14 21:03:39 +0000 UTCYou will not find another rapper to compare a verse to that, Eminem did everything in that verse one person that all most compares is Montana of 300 in the song God strong he go hard with similarity just minus the Cadence switch up I know you fuck with Montana so if you haven't heard that song please check it out God Strong by Montana of 300
D Jay Hood
2020-11-14 20:49:13 +0000 UTCStraight up facts! Medicine man is Ems best verse of all time
Isak Samardzic
2020-11-14 14:01:01 +0000 UTCHopefully 🙏 Stevie revisits “Medicine Man”.🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Danny Choz
2020-11-14 13:07:24 +0000 UTCEminem’s verse on “best friend” has no rival and if it does it is only rivaled by Eminem’s verse on “Medicine Man”. 🔥🔥🔥
Danny Choz
2020-11-14 13:02:00 +0000 UTCThat not a verse on a song though. That’s a freestyle very different.
Levi Lust
2020-11-14 12:31:04 +0000 UTCSeems fitting to listen to ‘You’re Never Over’ after this. Also, Clint Eastwood played Dirty Harry- Proof had a song called Derty Harry. That’s his first real nod to who he’s talking about in his verse.
Sam Bowden
2020-11-14 10:10:58 +0000 UTCYes Homophones and Eminem excels at it! Homophones are considered an example when mastering the English language in poetry writing. It's when two or more words have the same pronunciation but different meanings OR Em's favourite, when each set of syllables denotes the same group of sounds - 'since an Addy/Cincinnati'. I don't hear many using this form of poetry as often as Em does.
Toni-Ann
2020-11-14 05:02:04 +0000 UTCWhat about Em's Vegas verse? I know I'm not 3rd tier this month but I think that verse could possibly match this verse
Marcus Murray
2020-11-14 04:16:45 +0000 UTCHe’s not looking for top em verses. He’s looking for other artists to top best friend verse
steven
2020-11-14 02:12:36 +0000 UTCAye man...that was DOPE! Stevie, you're making me miss getting my literature degree...BARS! Way to catch 'em - especially since Eminem possessed by the spirit of Proof is the truth. Amazing idea!
Erin Liebner
2020-11-14 01:43:14 +0000 UTCthere's alot of debate as to best verse with eminem. He's got so many iconic verses that it'd be hard to choose the top 5. I'd have to do maybe a top 25 to include all the ones i can think of
Adam R Gordon
2020-11-14 01:31:26 +0000 UTCMaybe black thoughts funk flex freestyle?
Andrew Pisano
2020-11-14 00:42:16 +0000 UTCYou represented exactly how I feel about this verse every single time I listen to it, since 2015...
GFX MOD
2020-11-14 00:38:42 +0000 UTCEm doesn’t have many verses better than this one. Lmao. Idk daylyte battle against ray roc...... lyte** goes the FUCK OFF. But a regular rap verse? There’s better sounding verses. But from a technical standpoint this is top 3 verses of all time.
Andrew Pisano
2020-11-14 00:34:21 +0000 UTCMy favorite. It is so introspective and emotional. You can't help but feel it.
Julie L
2020-11-13 23:59:41 +0000 UTCBest friend is my favourite verse by far, happy u done another reaction to this one, Only other verse for meaning, doubles, flow comes from Em again and that’s darkness, only one I can think of anyway, good to see another reaction to that one....
darren hogg
2020-11-13 23:31:43 +0000 UTCIt's not better but 3 stacks verse on Royal Flush is fire

2020-11-13 22:41:49 +0000 UTCI ain’t tier 3 so I can’t submit, but anyway, Web by The Roots is fire as fuck. You should check it out.

2020-11-13 22:31:56 +0000 UTCWhile doing these verse videos itd be dope if you would score different elements like cadence or lyrical content and just how it sounds each outta like 5 or something, just a thought keep doing a great job man
Tony Friesen
2020-11-13 22:12:48 +0000 UTCgreat storytelling song but its not enough to compete with this imo

Levent Yesilyurt
2020-11-13 21:45:17 +0000 UTCAs someone else mentioned, it should probably be smart to put these "best eminem verses" in diffrent categorys as , flow&cadance, rhyme schemes, story telling for example. I really dont think you will find a verse that can top this one. It is just a perfect verse with everything in in. I recommend to check out "SPEEDOM" again for the crazy speed and cadance, " STAY WIDE AWAKE (Colored rhyme schemes) were he rhymes almost every word in every single bar with each other and makes perfect sense(flow crazyyy) and also "psychopath killer and "right for me" Crazy cadance!! Been watching all your eminem reactions and love them all! Keep going bro!! Ps like if you agree
Mathias
2020-11-13 21:37:17 +0000 UTCcaught this for the first time while watching your breakdown... “worst thing that you ever heard... counted out” - counted out referring to counting sheep to put yourself to sleep

2020-11-13 21:27:10 +0000 UTCHoly shit! Stevie, this is the BEST reaction. You showed up swinging!

2020-11-13 21:20:35 +0000 UTCWould you revisit Ems psychopath killer verse dawg? 😁
4sandg
2020-11-13 21:05:30 +0000 UTCAgreed I’ll be shocked if anything “matches” it because I don’t think it can be topped
Cillian Doherty
2020-11-13 21:03:31 +0000 UTCRugged man's verse on 'Uncommon Valor' could be a contender... but i doubt you'll find anything thats close to Em on this one. Stevie's trolling us with this impossible task. The only verse that might even have a chance of topping it is Ems verse on Renegade.
uni3k.0ne
2020-11-13 21:01:25 +0000 UTCIt doesn’t get better then this, I’m sorry but the verse is perfect. Alone the verse structure, you need a deeper understanding about music to get, it’s build like a great song, there’s an intro to captivate the listener, then he slows down when he starts the verse which slowly builds up to the chorus and then he builds up the tension even higher and goes into a bridge. All elements of great songwriting but done with rapping. And on top bars, multiple entendres, compound rhyming, flow switches, cadence, delivery, emotions, metaphors, schemes...this verse got everything at the highest level. It’s just the perfect verse
Tobias Montana
2020-11-13 20:56:10 +0000 UTCThis is one of those verses that give me chills, same with Medicine Man, 3rd verse on You're never over (another song about proof), Last verse on Bad Guy
Plain_23
2020-11-13 20:55:40 +0000 UTCI was hoping chloreseptic remix em goes ham there too.. but im not sure can it not beat this verse 💯💯💯will let you know if i can find another verse to go up against this brah

2020-11-13 19:43:46 +0000 UTC2 fantastic verses but as you said it has everything and everything on the highest level which is just crazy..😂
Cillian Doherty
2020-11-13 19:39:22 +0000 UTCPlease react to some actual Proof! “Kurt Kobain” and “Ja In A Bra” are the best! Those two will show you why Em shows so much love towards Proof.
Warren Moore
2020-11-13 19:37:24 +0000 UTCI was gonna say it.
Kostia
2020-11-13 19:36:58 +0000 UTCI like the third verse from bad guy and chloraseptic remix but best friend is really a different game, this verse has everything a verse can have
Luccas Machado
2020-11-13 19:34:56 +0000 UTCOnly one to compare is himself.lmao..em has better versus but not other people..maybe Marshal on the Ringer..Or Caterpillar,,or Chlorespetic..
Eric Bagetis
2020-11-13 19:19:14 +0000 UTCSpeedom would be the closest imo but even then I don’t see it..this verse from anything I’ve heard is just on a league of its own
Cillian Doherty
2020-11-13 19:14:45 +0000 UTCYou should redo lucky you for sure. Many bars to be caught there.

2020-11-13 19:09:26 +0000 UTCLupe is one of my favourites also he’s a monster and mural is a masterpiece I just don’t think I’ve heard anything that incorporates everything in terms of lyricism on such a high level in one verse like best friend
Cillian Doherty
2020-11-13 19:08:08 +0000 UTCI feel like Chloroseptic was one of his best verses !!!

2020-11-13 18:36:19 +0000 UTCu gotta be the only one online who's done this verse justice. This challenge is gonna be difficult...I can think of verses that might be in the same league. .but. . better? ....idk. I'll keep thinking tho😂😂
Anna
2020-11-13 18:35:16 +0000 UTCThe song was released almost ten years after Proof got killed, and there’s no doubt that Em did so much because he wanted the whole world to know and understand what Proof still means to him. I’ll admit I’ll never be able to compare any other verse objectively to this because for me it’s perfection on all criterias.
Janni Nielsen
2020-11-13 18:33:57 +0000 UTCI think Em said droppin a deuce bc him & Proof used to call each other doody & one of Proof's old aliases was DJ 7 Deuce. also i completely missed the "pronounce" double until now..the "pronounce u dead when u sound it out" bc u also literally sound out words so u can pronounce them correctly. damn
Anna
2020-11-13 18:31:58 +0000 UTCTime stamp 23:45 his producer credits. "Your enemy's surrounding you" and if you're using head phones the sound is going around you, literally. It sounds like you're being surrounded!
Mike Morgan
2020-11-13 18:26:47 +0000 UTCMan, like the guy said above, i can think of some verses but, looking at it objectively, it's not gonna top best friend, just because Eminem did a lot in there, he combined a lot of things and technique into one verse, there is a lot of verses that have amazing flows, amazing content, amazing wordplay and technicality, but all used in one verse is rare. Only Em can pull it off. I will be very surprised if there's another verse that can top this, especially if it's someone else other than Em.

2020-11-13 17:56:06 +0000 UTCContent!!! Lets fucking go! Love the reaction and your focus on the bars and cadence but the rhyme schemes and delivery thoo. I dont get how he can put together something with all those elements on this level, the doubles, flow switches, multi syllable rhyme schemes, deliverrry, the message of the song in general and just the purpose, the ability to make it sound soooo pleasing and more..Bruh!
Sachin
2020-11-13 17:51:46 +0000 UTCI can think of some I wanna mention but then I'm like "Damn, yeah these aren't better." lmao edit: I'm not at all gunna say it can compete with it but the 3rd verse of "Masochist" by Tonedeff (which I've previously requested the full song as a reaction!) might just make for good content and be something new for the channel and patrons. It's got cadence and emotional depth but not so much the doubles and triples but still a great verse in my opinion and a great song overall!

Dan Mcnaughton
2020-11-13 17:41:52 +0000 UTCI think with this set up, their will be a lot of interaction with the ability to see rappers that you may have never heard.

Raymond Urbash
2020-11-13 17:38:59 +0000 UTCI think the best way to do this series because of Eminem’s ability to put together a verse with every mc ability you should split it up. Week 1- Flow, poll 10 songs pick 3 Week 2- Cadence Week 3- Impact/Meaning Week 4- story telling Week 5- wordbending/wordsmith

2020-11-13 17:30:30 +0000 UTCI think its subjective... don think u can put one above the other tbh... nothin tops either... maybe people need to check out the lyrics break down on "Mural" https://youtu.be/QUZZMk09SgU Shit be goin over cats heads n then he don get that respect

Cillian Doherty
2020-11-13 17:18:06 +0000 UTCBro this is impossible, trying to find another artist that can put flow, cadence, meaning, wordsmith and story telling together in 16. The only thing close right now is This Ring by Texh and you already reacted to that. Gotta get deep in library for this one!
