    I'm one of the 4 people who made this video. I made all the artwork from a mix of photography I shot around Vancouver Canada, painting on my first wacom tablet in photoshop. Mashing it up together in this surreal grotesque vision of suburbia and city life. All the people, everything, was Photoshop mash ups of our faces. I remember how hard it was, as we animated everything in flash at the time. Which no one had ever done before. We had a near zero budget, because no one wanted to make a music video for this track. That's why it's so stiff and super hard to watch now. There was so much that we made that was cut even then, because it was too graphic and sensitive. I remember when we made the choice " so should we animate our selves pissing on the white house lawn? is that too much? and our producers loved it. Fucking crazy!
    I'm glad that even now, people are coming back to this and commenting on it.
    Sorry for all those I scared with my artwork. When i made this i was trying to show how we were all so fucked up, ugly, confused, and biting onto Eminem's message.
    For those that remember, it was a dark time, and all we could do was mirror it.

      Eminem as Ruler of D12 is paying tribute Eric Harris the Columbine shooter which is scary. Eric didn't like hip hop he wasn't a fan of rap if he were alive when this song dropped he wouldn't become a Eminem fan same for Dylan Klebold although this has nothing to do with Dylan I'm only saying this because it's the truth Eminem stood by the 1999 Columbine shooting.

      um.... uhh... wut? First off, the censoring from Vevo was supposed to be family friendly so they could be more widespread and be able to be played at any venue (for example schools). second the comment was directed at the fact that they had an "explicit content" label at the beginning of the video. (i.e. this song has swear words/lyrics not appropriate for all ages.) meaning they had full rights to publish the song with all original lyrics.

      snowmanak1 in germany we have no censorship even if it is supposed to be watched or listened to by children. If it is only for children there just does nobody swear and if its for everyone the lyrics are very empty of swear words. And if it is for adults or at least teenagers they swear like normal people or sometimes even more (eg german rap is full of swearing. And german movies just have some, they often say scheiße what can be translated as shit. You would say fuck. It is not a very strong word but it still is a swear word) and nobody censors it

      There are normally 2 versions for a song or an album, one is explicit with proper "Parental Advisory" warning, etc, and the other one which is "clean" - to be freely sold without any markings and "suitable" for underage people.
      Something like that, sometimes companies tend to roll with "censored" versions for the sake of avoiding restrictions to distribution.
      Luckily this censorship is only beeping the obvious stuff out. The message gets through regardless. Praise the beeps.

Till they made him silent, and ever since he's been rapping about - different things. I don't say bullshit things because I respect him deeply. + 13 years together with your music, Illuminati you got at least one hooked up, revolting hc listener, who is tired with this global misery - or golden cage - what you are serving for us as a 'freedom'. You know it's a sad joke.
      We're raping and sucking this planet dry, killing the real love, embracing 'wealth', money making culture, materialism, unhealthy sexualization & pornography, violence, distracting media, fame, luxury, noise, attention, selfisness and many more bad things - while those 1%'ers make all the profit, laughing at us.

    • @soto8639
      @soto8639 Před 7 lety +215

      Nope this song is about America (as you are aware). amERICa. That's why he says Eric. He also says Erica because... amERICA. It's not about Columbine. It's simply that the names Eric and Erica can be found within the word America. Also, they didn't blame Eminem for what happened at Columbine; Marilyn Manson's music was the target of the media and public's hate as well as the scapegoat to explain Harris and Klebold's actions. Furthermore, Columbine happened on the 20th of April 1999. Eminem's first studio album came out on the 23rd February 1999. This meant Eminem had only become known to the public probably a month before Columbine. Being that Eminem's music was only available to listen two a month or so before the shooting (and being that Dylan and Eric had been planning the massacre for well over a year), people were not stupid enough to think that Eminem's music had any influence on Columbine. It was also known the two shooters, especially the mastermind Eric, despised rap music.

    This song just makes me realize how if Dre never gave him a shot we would probably not have half the music from Eminem that we have today. He would've at some point blew up he's too good but it could've taken another decade and held him back so much.
    I lived in a great time period I must say.

    The fact that I also went to Lincoln whenever I hear that verse that he didn’t have to graduate Lincoln to know that I get goosebumps down my arm this is a lyrical masterpiece still 13 years after now I’m just older and understand the real reason behind this song and it’s crazy I used to bump this song so positive as a kid but it’s such a deep song now that I’m older
