EM VS EM - MEDICINE MAN

We gotta fight ladies and gentlemen!!!

EM VS EM - MEDICINE MAN

Comments

This one, fine line, and Believe are my top 3 bar and motivational wise

Lazarus

works fine for me

Beef_Stu

This link isn't working anymore.

Austin Vazquez

He did it as the first song on the Revival tour, I was there in Stockholm (2018), fucking amazing

phenomenal

I think medicine is just as good as bestfriend. The context of bestfriend might be stronger cuz of proof but damn the energy on this is better than bestfriend...

Simplebutcreative Media

I think he says "as sure as a mole is blind in my mind" instead of "I'm always lying in my mind" then it goes into the gopher and groundhog lines. A mole is another little gopher groundhog type animal.

Kali Howell

Jesus the poke Voodoo dolls! Ive listened to this track 1000 times, never grabbed that line! This for me is a crazy verse

Mark Hector

This is the one for me. I've been saying it for a long time. I know I put a few comments on the youtube page too. But this verse right here is probably the CRAZIEST verse. Another one that hits so fucking hard but doesnt have the speed in cadence is the go to sleep verse with dmx and obie. . Aye man I havent heard you react to it but if you get around to to 50 cent "my life" em has a dope verse on it too.

Greg Rios

Fine line is the closest to bestfriend in my opinion. Out of all the songs I have heard. His second verse in fine line is crazy. The whole song is fantastic

Ryan Motley

Happy to be new member. Been wanting to join for awhile now. Yr probably best reviewer I've ever watched. This is in my top 3 of his verses. Not even close to his most bar heavy shit. But that bars he does have, cadences, rhyme schemes, shock value on the "make the bitches rape cum" and passion he put in this verse is insane. And I actually believe he did it in one take. I've always said Em is like a mix of Pac, Big and Pun. Passion like Pac, lyrical and flow like Big, and that crazy ass shit that no one else will say like Pun.....but Pun lyrical and flow beast too. This song had it all. Top 3 for me. Out of all newer rappers, I've only seen Kendrick do all those things in songs and murder it. If they ever had a Hall of Fame for verses....this easily gets in.

Clint Seeley

It’s gonna be like a spirit bomb going off.

Afi Toa

For these "Em Vs. Em" vids, you should definitely revisit the verses for Bad Guy & Kings Never Die. I don't think they're gonna top Best Friend for you but it'd be worth revisiting them.

JP

I love the 3rd verse on Bad Guy that shit gives me the Goosebumps everytime I listen to it.

Carla Correia

Medicine man is ems best verse for me that shit gives me goosebumps every time I hear it especially when he done it live on the revival or kamikaze tour cant remember which one

Josh thomas

It’s a tough decision 🤔

Bill Saunders

If I Get Locked up

PanHandler !!!

The only songs I can think of that come close to Best Friend are: Bad Guy, Buck Shot, and Medicine Man. All of which you have already reacted to. Best Friend may be his best ever! I think "Leaving Heaven" from Music to be Murdered by is highly underrated too, which I know you also have done.

Maurice Jones

Not for vs Best Friend, but maybe a Marshall Monday

Maurice Jones

This is a great freestyle, beat is kinda nice too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=989TzYHqyH4

Maurice Jones

Ey hoss, I dunno a verse that can necessarily beat Best Friend if Medicine Man couldn't, but you might want to check out 'Rabbit Run' off the 8 mile soundtrack (I don't think you did that one yet, my bad if I missed it). It's not bar heavy, it's anthem shit, but the whole thing is one long verse, no chorus. It's like a 3 or 4 minute verse. I bet you feel it heavy.

Fierce Gaze

I think not afraid is a counter to best friend

Yenis Perez

Still waiting on Like toy soldier and Sing for the moment

monica popa

don't think he has yet that's a good one for a headache lols! he did fine line? i think

Ish

when did he do right for me

Nebiyu Abebe

Sorry but none of them three verses off Survival is touching best friend, or medicine man

steven

I agree with you that Best friend is a better song!! You should check out " SURVIVAL" By Eminem. I think it gives both these songs a run for their money!!!

Danny Pratt

Will somebody get this man to do I need a doctor. Not for the em vs em challenge it’s just a dope song for what it means

Jaret

I would say “You’re never over” 2nd verse. Stevie hasn’t reacted to it yet. And since it’s also about proof, it has the same passion and intensity as “best friend”, if not more. Not a bar heavy verse but one of his most powerful and meaningful verses ever i think.

Jeremy

Also has anyone suggested Fly Away?he shreds those verses, especially the 2nd

Martyn Rogers

I still think No Love is one of his best, it’s hard to put it above best friend but I feel like it’s in contention.

Martyn Rogers

Bro I think you have to revisit bad guy for em vs em

Paulius Imenickas

Has Stevie done I NEED A DOCTOR yet? Wasn't as complex as BEST FRIEND but it has the same energy and emotion

Agustin Mortaro

Yes they do🥰 these just resonate throughout multiple songs for me. It will always be my #1verse on a feature. 🥰

Deann Bennett

🤣🙄 that’s a negative on the writer.. Just ur usual girl stan. I’m glad u liked it🥰

Deann Bennett

Yeah bro. Best friend edges it. The technical skill on display is the the best rapping I’ve heard in my fuckin life. Bar none. Best reactor bar none too stevie. 💯

Colin Harris

Another track that might compete would be Eminem-Believe”

Laz

Usually I just scroll past the long comments but this was a pleasure to read. Well said and I couldn’t agree more. You must be a writer (lol)!

cr!t!c

You’re in for a treat if you didn’t see the 2nd and most recent one! I’d nominate it for the best SK reaction video, if we ever run that challenge lol

cr!t!c

I agree with Chloraseptic remix being up there. Gets me poised and feeling fearless. I think because it was his first release after Revival, and god damn. All of the hate & critics woke the beast. I have to listen to bad guy again. I don’t think anything will top Best Friend but I hope I’m wrong!

cr!t!c

I give edge to BF too. There is a deeper meaning and more impactful when you figure out he’s talking about Proof. The doubles/oxymorons are so powerful; Gandhi, Minister, QB, Belly button. I don’t think a better verse exists! This was dope Stevie, I have new appreciation for medicine man. Does He takes Nikki’s flow from Dungeon Dragon for a couple bars?

cr!t!c

Stevie has yet to do I Need A Doctor...Ems 2nd verse gives me chills and his verse he wrote for dre is nasty.

Cory Ferm

Phenomenal is up there too 🙏

Jezza

In terms of verses I think best friend then medicine man, chloraseptic remix, bad guy last verse and kings never die are all top tier

Kevin Ewing

Not alike is def a top verse. Caterpillar is up there for me too. He took Royce s idea/song n murdered it

Gary Raffa

2 of my favorite Em verses. I can’t complain. I may have to give it to best friend because he does more imo with his technical ability as a rapper. But medicine man gives you a fuckin ride of chills n aggression. Forgot about dre is a song you haven’t done. Its a fire slim verse. But not close to these.

Gary Raffa

I’ll just keep repeating myself - nothing beats Best friend. Some are close, this is one of them.

Janni Nielsen

So much emotion on this one I agree

Kostia

#facts! If the 🐐shouts out his own song.....

Ryan Ettel

Chloraseptic remix is the best

Amr

I agree with your assessment. both are super close, but I still very slightly lean in favor of best Friend.

Dustin Sisler

You should re do lucky you. The first reaction was lit but we need a full breakdown with the current knowledge you got

Garen Pate

It’s The Ringer for me

Mark Chaney

we need a reaction to Dre ft Eminem - SAY WHAT YOU SAY!!!!!!

Kurram Javed

The Ringer!!!!

Jay Stubbs

Not Alike! It needs to be considered in the mix. Even Em shouted out his own verse on Not Alike in Killshot.

Michael Dumaine

Lot of people requesting 2015+ em. I think his best verse is between 2000-2004 (his prime). The way i am Soldier Lose yourself

Jeremy

Yo Stevie, I've been with you for a minute now, only 3 months on the patreon now. But I've been with you on YouTube for almost a year now. I don't comment often but I love you bar break downs, and I have several of my friends listening to now as well. I was thinking about that Eminem song with Pink, "Wont Back Down" that song might could compete with this one and Best Friend. Maybe you should take another listen to it. Just a suggestion, keep up the good work, and thank you for keeping us entertained, much love my friend!

Smitty

I agree!! to close but there 2 different versus. medicine man make u just pumped and almost wanna fight !lol but then best friend is A cool chill vibe and he does so much in one!!!

Tony

I think Best Friend is still miles ahead. The only verse that can compete in terms of flow, cadence and energy is Till I Collapse (any verse).

GFX MOD

Bad Guy’s last part

Marc Vidiella

Medicine Man sounds better for me, but both are great! The otherone song up there is the last part of Bad Guy, which for me is his best verse ever

Marc Vidiella

Still think Ems verse on not alike is up there too

Cody Stemkowski

Awesome !

Cody Stemkowski

It’s always gotta be Best friend..it’s about Proof. You think he goes ham when someone mentions his daughter, I’m REALLY REALLY afraid if someone says something stupid about Proof. Oh Lord!!!!!

Scott Calder

I’m a dream team all state golfer. And there were many uncomfortable interviews with and regarding tiger woods back in the day but the fact of the matter is he became the pulse of the entire sport and those who criticized him for saying he wanted to win every tournament became hated especially as the next generation grew up

tgood

3rd verse takes it for me, fav em verse. the energy alone does it for me

Marc Showman

Best friend will ALWAYS come in first. (My opinion) because of what the meaning is of the whole song to proof his best friend. Yes medicine man is 🔥🔥🔥. He was pissed and went off!! But if u go back and listen to best friend AGAIN for the 4th time he is completely pissed off, sad, cadence change rides the beats like silk. He’s soo mad proof died. He would die for dre and if he could’ve taken the place of his best friend he would’ve. It’s very haunting that proof played the guy that died from a gunshot in toy solider so it’s like he almost predicted his death. And how he talks about falling over proofs dead body because he couldn’t stand to save him also ties into BAD GUYs last verse along with castle and arose. It’s very hard and different to pick just one. I’m a girl stan stan stan. I love ALL his shit. Idc if popular or not. I love his features cause he murders everyone’s songs. But BEST FRIEND is just different...it will never be beat. (Again my opinion) because of who he’s talking to and about. RIP Proof xoxo Boss lady Dee from LFR Family🥰

Deann Bennett

He has two reactions to it

Dustin Wilson

This. 110%. The anger in chloraseptic remix will forever be unmatched. The cadence. Is crazy. The content is crazy. Bad guy tho is prolly behind medicine man. Idk. Medicine man makes me finish my last set in the gym so i gotta love it

Dustin Wilson

'Kings never die' can compete with both of these to

Demetrius McDaniel

Phenomenal dope too

Marco Santos

Not alike is the best em verse change my mind...

Marco Santos

Yeah Great content man glad you enjoy doing this 👍 agree that best friend has the advantage here👍

Bargard

Stevie can you do another breakdown of best friend?You’ve came along way in 8 months with that em ear. I feel the same with mtbmb. I didn’t appreciate ems abilities and art until watching your breakdowns.

Daniel Smith

Best Friend still is #1 for me. This is my second. There is just something different about best friend.

Thomas

So dope!! Music always gets me hype! But I’m telling you, watching you get so hype and stoked takes it to a whole other level!! Reaction on point as always!!!!!!!

Joseph Astle

Best friend is like a 9.75 for me and Medicine man is like a 9. Chloraseptic Remix and Bad Guy are closer imo.

Lauren

Em's best verse was his Run DMC induction into the Rock-N-Roll hall of fame speech.

Herrzimm

Lucky you!!! Fire verse

Jarrad

It's closee, he sound more hungry on Medicine Man come very close but, the switch on the flow/candence in Best Friend was a little more smooth (that's why i have both on my playlist.) ...still waiting stivie to react to I Need a Doctor

Peu Oliver Guimarães

Been debating between these two for years. It’s a draw for me. Depending on my mood, one hits harder than the other. Has any other rapper done anything close to these though?

Plain_23

This is a dope idea

Reina

Steve always keeping it 100 percent.. but chloreseptic remix tackles this

daniel Lynch

That verse is nuts, god damn lol.

Jorge Perez

Slight edge to best friend for me too. Creativity Vs Raw slaughtering that happens in Medicine man. It's been a minute since I heard it so the reaction got me super excited ! Loved it! +1 for adding it to the BestOfBag !

ZergD Zerg

Lmao, this was just a golden reaction from you, thanks bro

Rama Djuhana

Definitely gotta revisit Ems psychopath killers verse Steveie!

4sandg

Some people might not believe Em is a goat but I think we can all agree there will never be another Eminem ever again. His voice is special, Black or white em is just special. All these white rappers try but they don’t sound like em they’re skill doesn’t match, there look is different. Em is just different

Michael manchester

Best Friend was much more complex though

Tejas Gaikwad

Whst i like about this song is you can tell he put his all, his A game into this verse, like 120%, knowing it was Dre's first major album in over a decade and he had to kill it for his homeboy. They really love eachother

James Pansullo

They are both excellent versus. Hard to pin against each other in my opinion. 🔥🔥Reaction as always.

STARK

Technically other songs may give best friend a run for its money, but the way best friend makes you fell even after hearing it 100 times can't be matched, when he gets going man it brings tears to your eyes and adrenaline just rushes through ya its like no other in my opinion

Jason King

Yo u should do my life. 50 cent ft eminem. Right up the lane. Of best friend I think

Billy De Graw

Do survival too

Yunah

You should keep your ratings for all songs and just rate them individually then compare every month or something like that

Laz

I can totally see your point, but technically that second verse is very intricate

Rani Nehme

Both of these are phenomenal, but Lucky You might be a perfect verse.

Max Fit

Good song but nowhere near his most lyrically impressive

James Pansullo

Best Friend for me.

Jimmy McMinn

Eminem - In Your Head!!

Rani Nehme

I’ve request the ringer or be re looked at, it’s arguably his best verse it would be sick to get a deeper dive into it

SirBigBalls

Lucky You beats it

Max Fit

Put it up against Lucky You

Max Fit

Try the lucky you verse or the ringer for the next Em vs Em

Luccas Machado

Nice!
