Eminem & Bass Bros produced this. Just for context when Em was asked what he thought about gay marriage he responded “I think if 2 ppl love ea other, then what the hell? I think everyone should have the chance to be equally miserable.” 💀 He’s frequently said he often said things just to make ppl mad.
The priest lines about his wife sick in the hospital with the car and everything are reference to the exact thing happening roughly at that time. Em wasn't making anything up with those bars. There was a priest that got arrested at the time stealing from the church and did all those things around then. It was a big deal all over the news for a couple of weeks.
The original Ken Kaniff was voiced by this rapper named Aristotle on a recorded prank call to Eminem. They liked it and used it for the Slim Shady LP. Something happen between them two but Eminem took over the voice after that.
By the way, great channel... discovered you yesterday and was surprised by how kinda different you guys were compared other channels... Keep doing what you do... Peace ✌️
Thank you so much! We absolutely will keep this ball rolling! Thank you for checking us out and for supporting the channel! Let us know if you have a song you want us to react to! Stay up, Stay safe! 🫡
@@KeatandCarterReacts Nothing to thank. Isn't it awesome? We live in such a crazy time where I can support you doing nothing else than moving my thumb a bit down after I anyway already clicked play, before I go to full screen... I never saw something this easy to do... It depends on how you want to run this process... I mean, almost all Em songs are worth it to give them a listen... I would even say the best thing to do is reacting in chronological order to every recorded word he ever spoke... so you can understand better why he did what next step by step. If you also consider checking out other artists, then I would love it if you could react to Amy Winehouse. For me, the same thing about her like I said about Em...
@@KeatandCarterReacts But please never ever do anything censored version of a song... and if you do some Amy, please do live performances, it will be a 50/50 chance that she was too high to perform, but if she had a good day, she was a beast... even when she was a little bit too stoned to hit every note, just try to think about where she intended to do what, and even through these things, one can understand how dope she was... 😉
@@raumzeitrelativ8615 I love this energy! 🔥 And that is so true, we are very grateful to be in the position to start this channel. This has been so fun, and it will only become more and more exciting! We absolutely need to get a bit of chronology going here lol. We have stuck to the first 4 albums he has released, so we haven’t gotten far in his discography yet, but we should try a bit harder to go in chronological order, including interviews, podcasts, and live shows! We will absolutely check out Amy Winehouse, I have heard a lot about her, but have never heard her music (as far as I know). You are the type of people we are wanting to attract to this channel; passionate, caring, knowledgeable, and much more! You are awesome! We appreciate you giving us the chance by clicking on our video and going as far as liking, commenting, and subscribing. That is killer! We enjoy making these, and so you letting us know you like it and giving us info about what we are listening to makes this whole process so much more exciting and rewarding. 🙏🏻
@@KeatandCarterReacts EMINEM I literally learned English listening to EM and translating his lyrics (at the time without available Internet everywhere) word by word with the English-German dictionary... and I started watching reaction videos to understand better all the doubles, wordplays, and all that stuff that makes him such a genius... I was already a big "German-spoken" Rap-fan and also appreciated English rap a lot even though I didn't understood it... What really connected me to him was just his unconventional style, as crazy and unorthodox as I was, but most people around me didn't felt like... and then the fact that reading the song-texts, I saw that he putted together syllables in rhyme schemes in such an unique way, I never saw and still haven't seen doing nobody else to this day... doing the 1st step into this rabbit whole, there was no way back for me, so I had to know what he said in his songs...so if there wasn't something special about the way he was doing it, I wouldn't be able to write this comment in English, explaining why I instantaneously felt in love so much specifically with his music and not with any other I heard... Long story short, I ALWAYS FELT SOMETHING SPECIAL ABOUT HIS 🎶 🎵... OKAY? Peace and love from Switzerland 🇨🇭
Prob my favourite em song tbh! 😏.... I distinctly remember when this came out and how excited us fans were to hear him giving people the big fu back because at the time just b4 this...people had been burning his cds and everything, trying to cancel him for his art because he was a bad influence on the youth (ie me at the time 😆. ...well I was in my late teens anyhoo) and it only made us love him more. When people ask what made em my favourite. ... his skin colour wasn't it at all but the way he raged against the machine! 😏😁....oh and his crazy horror lyrics & storytelling....he's just the whole package and his pen is sharp enough to pierce ur brain! 😅
welcome to the Shady world. Full of entendres, illiterations, flows, etc etc. He has one of the hardest roles in life and Rap. He is, what you think when you are at the edge. of pain, anger, sadness etc. But he doesn't cry he rages. That's the secret. and I always brin Relapse as an example cuz most people LOVE thrillers and horror movies but gods forbid it's not a move but is a song. So pretty much that's it. Just LISTEN and enjoy his genius and mastery of Rap.
So alot of the reasons for this song is him being super crazy while saying he doesn't discriminate nor is he sexually discriminatory about men women or whatever gender generalizations of stereotypical bs. He doesn't care. He basically supports everyone being whoever they want is all. Even though he was being bashed about it all. He really supports whatever...
Facts. As an Em fan for about 2 decades, I have fully come to understand his acceptance for literally everything. He is a real Icon. Thank you for the info / comment! We hope to see you back! 🙏🏻 Stay up, Stay safe! 🤘🏻
FACTS. Like I have said, if Carter is not a Stan soon, he will be once we get to Kamikaze 😂 MTBM is absolutely amazing too, the rhyme schemes, beats, doubles, triples, he goes off. I am so excited to dive into those with Carter! 🤘🏻 Thank you for the comment and support my dude! 🙏🏻
Thank you again for the recommendations! I have them added to the list! Next couple songs are 🔥🔥 and so are the reactions! Thank you guys again for all of the support! ❤️
And then in Without Me when he says” I know your husbands got a job ms Chaney but his heart problems complicated”. That’s going after vice president Chaney and his wife. I know his wife was going after Eminem for his lyrics and making speeches about him. And vice president Chaney had a bunch of heart attacks and heart trouble. In the video Eminem has him hooked up to an electrical charge like a zombie or Frankenstein monster.
This song makes a lot more sense when you know why it exits. Like most of his songs back then he was being slammed for his lyrics and people were protesting the shit out of him. So he was tripling down and at the same time pointing out in all these songs why people are hypocrites.
After the slim shady LP blew up, Em started getting a lot of flak from gay advocacy groups for using the f slur and that whole lesbian line in My Name Is (that the radio edit turned into pedestrians) and he got really incensed, feeling targeted by the community because he didn't think anything he was saying was beyond the pale compared to both his contemporaries and rappers of the past. So he doubled down, a sort of "I'll give you something to complain about" thing and you get the violent homophobia that was present on some of the MMLP tracks like Criminal. There was a lot of pressure and criticism of him for it, and while he didn't get "cancelled" that criticism is what initiated him reaching out to Elton John to try and bury the hatchet with the gay community by having Elton accompany him on Stan at the Grammys. It was a sort of apology, and he cut that shit out afterwards. Personally, as 15/16 year old fan at the time with a gay mom who also kinda understood the middle finger he was trying to wave (why are you making ME the pariah of rap for saying shit that everyone else is saying?), it was definitely something that tore me up a bit and I was really glad that it was resolved the way it was. Even removed from context I understand how people could absolutely reject it, but I think providing some for people who weren't around or paying attention then never hurts. Hope someone learned something :D
@LilKeatandCarterReacts I think going into his catalog in order is a great way to go, but also going back and forth from the beginning to the most recent years meeting in the middle is a great way too. Y'all should do some live performances and his diss tracks as well. I can give you some suggestions for both if you want.
Critics quit being so soft Eminem is like the movies get a little bit of everything horror comedy action motivating Romance crazy ass f****** songs a true Rap God goat fifty-year-old still killing it great reaction see you on the next one if anybody says anything bad about Eminem rapping the way he does then ask them why they make Freddy Krueger movies isn't he a child killer or Chucky a evil doll that kills people for fun and then you got Michael Myers Jason Texas Chainsaw Massacre Hannibal that likes faces it's just entertainment people get over it
In that day people didn't get canceled. Canceling people for things from a time when things were different is what makes Gen z such a snowflake generation *also you can't call yourself a Stan and not know this song.. It was last song on his 2nd album 😂
