That was Joe Perry the guitarist from Aerosmith. Em sampled the song "Dream On" from Aerosmith. Steven Tyler actually sang the chorus of this song during Em's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction. Ironically Aerosmith was the first Rock/Rap Collboration. Run DMC and Aerosmith did "Walk this Way".
Music was just so much better in the late 90s and 00s. Em, 50, g unit, d12. They were everywhere. You couldn't turn on a TV or a radio station without them on it. Their music had feeling you felt it you believed what they were saying. It just hit different.
The US doesn't have that kind of music anymore. That's why I have moved on to listening to music in other languages. There's a couple of artist out there that still do this but some ignorant people mock them because they don't understand the language. You just need to care and learn and you'll feel it again.
The song is called "Dream On" by Aerosmith. Steven Tyler is the the lead singer. They performed this live with Em, when Em got inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame recently..
Portugal here for the GOAT Eminem since day one and forever. Thanks for reacting to this legendary masterpiece. Salutes and respect. In his Hall of Fame ceremony he performed this song.
You landed on my radar earlier with the Rap God reaction. Glad that you showed up because your reactions are top notch and a must listen to anyone who is an Eminem fan. Keep up the good work
He sampled the music and the sung lyrics from Dream on by Aerosmith. About the only song I like from the band, but will say when most rappers take a rock song and make it into a rap song. I dont like but this is one of my favorites of Em's songs.
I was 21 and travelling through America in 2001. Stan was being played everywhere! I came back to Australia and it came out big here a good few months afyer the states..he exploded on the scene
Argentinian here, been amazed with your Em journey so I'm excited to see you get to this amazing song. Cant wait for some of the outlandish shit he did in Relapse or SSLP/EP. Also other aftermath/young money artists maybe?
This song came out and changed my whole life. Anyone that grew up in the early 2000s as a kid knows. Parents hated us. That last verse to me is the best line verse ever spoken rapped period. Dude speaks facts and just destroys it and it sounds so amazing also. "And maybe they'll admit it when we're gone. Just let our spirits live on threw the lyrics that you hear in our songs we can..."🤯🤯🤯 Em is the GOAT. ❤
Joe Perry from Aerosmith. It's sampled from Dream On. Steven Tyler sang with Em at the Hall Of Fame performance. I'm 45, so I guess that's cheating a bit. :)
Buffalo Bill by Eminem is pretty mind blowing if you wanna give that a try. Cadence is off the charts, little psycho with the lyrics but ayye thats slim for ya.
So, I graduated high school in 2002. When Em hit the scene, I remember my mom telling me I wasn’t allowed to listen to his music. Naturally, my friends and I listened to him religiously on our own time. He was wildly controversial at that time. He was real and didn’t sugar coat anything. What a talent.
Bruh, listen to his song Infinite and then do the rest of his songs. It doesn't matter the order after the first one, but that track got missed by so many heads that talk about "Em is corny"... "I can't relate to anything he says"... "Nobody listens to him in the hood"... "Nobody listens with their girl"... Its easy to spot someone that just hates him to hate him, and has never actually listened to him. Also, listen multiple times, and at least once with lyrics and a browser open. His references are as nutty as his wordplay, rhyme schemes, metas, multies, flow, delivery, sales, and everything else. Reading just lyrics with zero instrumental is mind blowing as well.
Hi! Millennial here who grew up on Eminem, from 12 years old when “My Name Is” came out… I truly love watching these reaction videos of your generation listening to Eminem for the first time.. so keep them coming! It’s extremely nostalgic and I love to see when people appreciate the art for what it is, or at least try. However, one thing that bothers me as I watch these videos is that there are times when you lot STILL just don’t understand. In this video you’re commenting that he’s calling himself out for his words and lyrics and how they affect the masses… but that’s not what he’s saying at all. And that is what i keep noticing about this generation, as well as what he was calling out in his entire “Houdini” track. What he is saying in this song, is that society putting too much emphasis on his lyrics is the PROBLEM. It completely goes against our 1st amendment right, which he mentions in other tracks. Sure, there is a fine line when influence, especially such as his, becomes a factor… but that shouldn’t mean he should be demonized for it… again, what the point of most of his tracks are about. Additionally, it’s not the court’s “job”, as you put it.. to slap him with lawsuits for what? Speaking? Their job would be to prove if a crime has been committed. This would be like suing me or arresting me because I tell you I’m going to rob a liquor store… maybe I’m joking, maybe I’m not. But was there a crime committed? Absolutely not. Not trying to hate at all, because I enjoy these videos! I just hope one day you lot might be able to listen to these songs and actually grasp the real meaning in what he is saying.
there is still a lot of eminem music that you have to react to...welcome to the eminem music journey….example like i need a doctor,headlight and cleaning out my closet
For historical purposes, this song came after 9/11 and the Biggie/Tupac deaths which the rap world was still struggling with. Will someone kill you because of rap? The insane thing is that he's explaining critical thinking in rhyme to this day and it still applies because the capitalist system has barely changed to today.
The chorus/hook is sampled from Aerosmith - Dream On, and Eminem got original Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry to play this new alternate guitar solo at the end. It's the only thing I don't like about this song though lol. To me as a guitarist myself, it sounds badly improvised/sloppy and the guitar tone is crappy, so damn thin. Joe Perry is usually a fantastic guitarist however
The band playing in the background is arosmith, react to arosmith and run DMC "walk this way", CLASSIC vibe with rock and rap coming together( I don't remember the name of the song but my mom was a huge aroesmith fan growing up so I heard it ALOT in my kid years)
Breathe?? LISTEN. PLEASE pal, LYRICS. How can you give an honest reaction to something you haven't heard. Not hating, love Em, love ur channel, just need you to give your followers an initial reaction. Love what you do👍👍
F race man. This dude can rap. Sadly how folks use a sociopolitical and socioeconomic identity to nullify his talent and legacy, which does not write his rap. 😅
