// About Spited: #BehindThePen
Purpose of this project is educating the hip-hop fans around the globe about the skill of rhyming ("who really spits"). Fans hardly know how skilled certain artists actually are or used to be. Some artists have the skill of making each syllable and/or word count and I want to shed some light on this skill. #RhymeScheme

One of the greatest Eminem songs ever. Period.

[Finn-tjjv]

The syllable structure Eminem uses in this song throughout all three verses in this song is called an anapestic tetrameter. An absolute masterclass when it comes to rapping technique.

[layandrestforawhile]

And people are complaining that he's rhyming too many words now? He's always been about schemes and rhymes, and he's always been THE Goat

[iTzShady]

One of the greatest verse in the hip hop history. You can feel the anger and the pain.

[elderlyoogway]

Here Eminem actually uses the beautiful _anapaestic_ meter structure, consisting of two unstressed syllables, followed by a stressed one (not to be confused with shakespearean iambic), which permits a good roll and dope internal rhyming.

Here's a Byron anapaestic poem:
"The as𝘴𝘺rian came 𝘥𝘰𝘸𝘯 like a 𝘸𝘰𝘭𝘧 on the 𝘧𝘰𝘭𝘥
And his 𝘤𝘰hort were 𝘨𝘭𝘦𝘢ming in 𝘱𝘶𝘳ple and 𝘨𝘰𝘭𝘥
And the 𝘴𝘩𝘦𝘦𝘯 of their 𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘴 was like 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘴 on the 𝘴𝘦𝘢
When the 𝘣𝘭𝘶𝘦 wave rolls 𝘯𝘪𝘨𝘩tly on 𝘥𝘦𝘦𝘱 Gali𝘭𝘦𝘦"

[sowhat]

Technically speaking, this song has rhyme schemes that are nearly impossible to deconstruct. And many believe the same. There are just too many consonances, assonances, holos, multis and internals. You did really well tho.

Been 8 years since jammin' thisss. Nostalgia!

[mryolomcswag]

Bro, it would be sick if you did most of the MMLP album, because when he raps, he rhymes so well, so it just goes over your head. Just think it should be appreciated you know?

[singlelife]

I will always believe that the only flow that can be used on this beat is the one that Eminem used

[iceyroo]

MMLP one of the greatest rap album of all time… top 10 for sure

[lyricschallenged]

if you're an artist that's intimidated by these videos and having some self doubt, DON'T. Everyone can be great differently. And if you're a lyric focused person? don't get down, trying to mimic what you find great already. Make your own stories, (tho in any manner) you'll naturally make amazing shit. Same goes for singers, musicians etc. Never be discouraged just because you're not where you wanna be yet. Yes, I will be posting this on all his upload from here on out as a REMINDER. One love people 🕺🏾✔

[hmm]

yess more Eminem!! hopefully we'll get Em's verse on Grip's new album

[grump]

You're such a goat 🐐 also cant wait to see butthurt people complain about making "another eminem video" 😂

[idkwhat]

*It's either this song or his part on "Forget About Dre" that earned Em his 🐐 badge.*

[HittokiriBattousai]

The pacing, the rhyme scheme, the cadence, the sheer anger in his tone, the amazing bassline, the dark beat, the Marilyn Manson cameo and reference. Everything in this song is just pure synergy. Top 10 Em's best songs.

[aandent]

One of the songs that made me fall in love with Em!!

[flipgsp]

Skip to 1 30 for the next verse.
No I don't think I will.
