You've got to give it to Eminem he is a lyrical genius, and literally doesn't give 2 fks what people think of him and he is his own person. He's told his life story tho his music and the future is yet to be written.
This man is way past genius with his lyrics. I wasn't really a fan until recently. Even before I really liked him, I did respect him. He's an amazing artist. Hilarious lyrics sometimes too. I like the fact that sometimes he gives respect to Dr. Dre in his music. He's a good guy.
The lyric "Dr Dre said.... nothing, Dr Dre's dead, he's locked in my basement" .... is a riff on the fact he was forever giving Dre props in his songs. It was very clever because it caught you off guard back in the day.
Like I said before, he is a real wordsmith! Remembering the Grammys, and he sang this song, and he also sang with Elton John who thinks Eminem is worthy, lol. You should take a listen to "The Monster", "Love the way you Lie".
He's the type of offensive that some can't get offended by cause most of what he says is amusing anyways. You'd have too be the other sensitive type of people to find it offensive like the ones who didn't understand him or where he was coming from in the first place. Some of what he says is based on what he went through But other stuff he says is just a creative way of getting back at people and also just having fun with his Ryhmes.
@@patrickschrag3200 idk what world you live in but eminem was politically incorrect, which means he didnt hold back his humor and was raunchy. Ofc people were offended. Idk what reality you two people live in where people werent offended by what he said or did.
@@steverogers6572 First of all I never said people weren't offended by what he says in his music, I said "some people aren't as easily offended by his music as others are". You either read it wrong or you might be living on your own reality. Anyone who listens to old Eminem knows about how he was and yes he is rapping about his life even though atleast some of it is just for fun to poke fun at other people cause he didn't care. He would've have cared about trying too offend people if people were already getting offending by it in the first place. That's the era of the whole Slim Shady/Marshal Mathers persona he did
This song is a the "Gateway drug" for lots of people into rap...I used to think rap was just about rap*, ending life of cops and songs like that until i heard this one, which led me to explore further
You're so right. Even if you're not an Eminem fan, you have to appreciate his creativity. He's a lyrical genius. I'd go so far as to say he's an all time great.
he is a masterpiece, an good actor,his lyrics,,,lolololololo eminem hejp me so much when i have a mad day. i love him ,,,thank you yayvee for this video, it makes me happy
One of the few rap songs I like. He did a song that he mixed an Areosmith and ACDC song together that I liked. I do have the movie about him also. But haven't really listened to much of his music, I just never could get into the rap... Thanks Jovaughn, hope you are doing well...AKA Lowrider.
22 years ago folks......... *22* YEARS 😩 Edit - I'm a 44 year old Scottish woman, I hate rap music generally, but I remember when Eminem arrived on the scene, I could actually make out what he was saying, and it was hilarious, and catchy as hell, I bought his first cd, but my brother nicked it off me lol.
M&M is very lyrically intelligent. I'm not huge into his music but I don't mind it every now & again. I lived in the Detroit suburbs for many years (I'm now in a different state), it took me forever to watch his movie 8 Mile. My hubs didn't want anything to do with it so I finally watched it on my own.
There are so many refs that I realize would be difficult for someone under the age of thirty to really understand. I feel like Methuselah. haha BTW: When he performed this at the 2000 MTV Music Awards it was quite the spectacle:)
Eminem is a genius! The nurse with the red hair is Kathy Griffin a comedian (who got unfairly canceled for taking a photo with a bloody Trump mask) who's comedy is reality based and roasting other Celebs.. Which is exactly what he's doing, lyrically, in this song.
Without knowing all of the pop culture reference’s, it’s hard for the younger generation to understand some of the lyrics and parts of the video. He mocks Tom Green for instance (his bum bum song). Pam and Tommy, and “Nothing but mammals” reference (that was a song that was popular around that time, and it was bizarre). Truly is a time capsule of the time.
I literally remember the first time I heard this song. My girlfriend and I were driving home in Everett, Wa near Fluke at night and I thought the chorus sucked. But the verses were stunning. I got sucked in on the Will Smith line. I was like "WTF, is he reading my mind?"
I'm an actual feminist, not a feminazi like most self-proclaimed feminists. I love Em. I started rapping because of him. Not too many white girls can rap. Especially as fast as Eminem.
Hey Selecta. Check out UK rapper Ocean Wisdom with his pal Dizzie Rascal on “Revvin”. You will be watching his work for a couple of hours after checking him!
I've been an Eminem fan from the beginning. He's just a gifted artist that makes other artists just pure jealous. He doesn't crave the Hollywood spotlight and he takes care of his family. He's going to be first ballot Rock Hall of Fame inductee in a couple of years.
It was wild the impact this track and video had! It was naughty and shocking and subversive! I remember listening to it on the discman of an older kid on the way to a school trip on the school bus and being shook!
Hey just want to let you know that what you did to be able to post the video worked for me. A lot of times when reactors have to obstruct the video to post it something just seems "off" to me. For me at least you figured out the sweet spot.
A wordsmith of the highest order. His social commentary and critique is astonishing! Spittin' it out and not giving a f***; delivering truth with biting humor and sarcasm - genius. You should check out "The Marshall Mathers Album". I reckon it's one step up from this. I might be an old white dude from Australia; but this shit is real! wokka wokka!!
