@@x6568tank The judge dismissed it because "No one would take [the lyrics] as fact" which she said in her rap ruling: Mr. Bailey complains that his rep is trash So he's seeking compensation in the form of cash Bailey thinks he's entitled to some monetary gain Because Eminem used his name in vain The lyrics are stories no one would take as fact They're an exaggeration of a childish act It is therefore this court's ultimate position That Eminem is entitled to summary disposition.
@@Gaara11990He didn't wait 15 years to sue him. It might've been 15 years after he'd known him, but he sued him around 18 months after the song was out.
Who are these weirdos in the comments?? Is Deangelo Bailey some rando with the same name.?? He talks about him throughout his career, he sues him and no he didn’t wait 15 years, wtf are you guys even talking about. Get outta here if you have nothing to add.
** I remember my senior year in high school (1998-99). My Name Is dropped and this CD dropped soon after. Music was never the same. Everyone in school was like wtf is this? It was incredible. We never heard anything so freakin crazy and so lyrically dope at the same.. Best of luck in your Eminem journey! Once you’re on the Shady train you won’t get off.
I graduated in 97 & I wholeheartedly agree with both of you. Since the day I heard "Hi, My name is, chka-chka, Slim Shady" my life changed forever. He came onto the scene & just took over & has dominated ever since. The haters can't stand that, and I personally love it. I feel old hearing that minimum wage was $5 freaking dollars in 1999!
I was 9 when I found Em and been bumping him since. While the rest of the world is getting offended over everything today, I'm here laughing at how easily you can trigger people and I thank Em for that. Man gave me a super thick skin and twisted sense of humor lol
As a 38 year old i grew up listening to em, grew up in the ghetto and listening to him helped me get over the bs i went through everyday, ex's cheating, bullies, drugs, etc.. he said things alot of us thought but cant do and it was an escape from reality. Today i still listen to him every day and it helps cope now im a single father raising 5 kids while both moms are off doing whatever. Ppl can hate but em in my eyes will always be my top.
i hate when people say only old people listen to eminem...bro im 21 and still listening to his songs since i was 13...he is legend give him the respect
11 years after the song "bad meets evil", Em and Royce put out the album "The Sequel". If you've never heard the song "Fast Lane", I think you should probably get on that. Your head might explode from all the rhyme schemes they both pull off.
i'm actually only here because he's reacting in the way we all reacted when we first heard the album. although i was probably 10 years old when it came out and couldn't understand it as complexly as i can now.
Man, there is way too much to unpack, but growing up through the 80's and 90s, "gangsta" rap ruled the airways. Ice cube, Dr Dre, eazy e (they all had successful solo careers but started together as a group called NWA), notorious b.i.g., 2 pac, snoop dog, wu tang, naughty by nature, and many more good artist. Despite its popularity, gangsta rap isn't all relatable to the masses. Then this song "my name is" drops, and this shit reaches everyone. Kids and adults alike of all races! We all couldn't relate to the streets, but talking about bullies and pain, drugs, and violence, all in a sarcastic point of view, is something everyone can relate to! And that was it. History would be written through the years and to the present as we know it now. Em is the goat.
in the song 97 bonnie and Cydle... the last line Eminem says '" first just help dad with two more things out the trunk" - he is referring to the stepdad and stepbrother whom he also killed after his wife.
I love your enthusiasm .. please do a reaction for all his albums in the correct order.. I particularly like when you pause and comment on the penmanship/lyricism
I love this. I remember first listening to this album in 99 when I was 14, and having similar reactions. Now I'm a month away from being 40 and loving seeing someone enjoy this masterpiece for the first time! Keep up the good work my man!
most people either ignore it or dont know about it, but before he took on the slim shady persona and met dr dre, eminem actually recorded and released an album pror to TSSLP, called infinite in 1996, its not super common, but i believe its on youtube. its not bad, but it is a VERY different feel and tone to everything that he did after, you should definitly give it a shot though, i think youll be suprised by it
The SSLP is great and he's figureing it all out and shit. But the two next albums MMLP and The Eminem Show is just masterclass front to back. Cant wait for it!
2pac is the goat of musicallity you will love him...and he has expert storytelling ability and you feel his music. Em studied 2pac hard and took his best attributes for himself.
This was absolutely brilliant to watch!! The fact you listened & tried to understand the times back then for us 90s kids rather than “woh cancel cancel cancel”. I’m English & we grew up on this. Amazing reaction 🙏🫡
This is why he is the goat… and will be recognised as the goat when he dies… you will forever find gems of Eminem … try looking for murder murder, watch Deez, Green and gold, big Lincoln…(not the name of the song but can’t remember it) there’s just so many bangers… !!
Be sure to check out his infinite album also, released before slim shady EP. Also if you haven’t seen Up In Smoke concert - that’s one you definitely want to react too. Enjoy the ride
The story of Brain Damage is half true - his mom didn't rip out his brain, the principle didn't beat him up, Deanglo Bailey is a real person, he went into a coma afterwards too. Note: Listen to 'Kim' by Eminem (and try not to get demonetised - which will be a task)
We don't know if gis mother ripped his brain out. But If she did it, the dick must been dropped out too. I mean he said he was born with a dick in his brain...
rock bottom is my favorite song on this album. in my opinion, the song that made em the most relatable artist in the game at the time. He is from Detroit during the times when the automotive industry collapse and destroyed the city financially (i believe).
Pretty much. He is a bit older them me so he actually grew up when the industry was great but the late 90s and 2000s is when the car industry collapse and it was hard. Pretty much 2001 just destroyed it. I lived there through it
“yesterday went by so quick it seems like it was *just* today” Can’t forget the *just* as that’s what he makes rhyme with the yes in “yes-terday”
Bro when you were listening to If i had and you take about how he came from nothing.... it was crazy AND inspirational to witness that as he released albums and winning awards and improving his skill.... all while he went through wife troubles, addiction, mom troubles, legal troubles, best friend killed.... crazy!
If the one you liked the most was Rock Bottom then you are going to like the Eminem/Marshall Mathers profile more than the Slim Shady profile.....my favorite is also Rock Bottom on that album
Bro, this took me all the way back to 97 with you. I was there when this dropped, and it ruled the world. On the flip side, he really did have people marching against him, picketing his concerts and evangelicals, trying to shut him down. The LGBT community, parents, teachers, and everyone told us not to listen to him. It only made him more famous. This wasn't his "first" album, but it was technically his debut album, seeing as thought the Slim Shady EP was released a year earlier and infinite. I love talking about old slim. That was my youth. I was 17 when this came out. Now I'm sitting here saying I miss my past. Lol
@mikem5416 It was wild. Funny enough, all of those people who protested against him are to old to care and the parents now, love him or at least grew up with him and have nothing against him like our parents did. Hee will never see that kind of thing happen again.
Watching this kids face and reactions was cool because it kind of gave me those feelings back from when I first heard him at his age. Eminem will always be relevant.
@@Codenameitalian I remember manson being protested as well, but in my lifetime I don't think I've really seen any other artist but him being attacked from all different outlets like that. I can remember seeing him on the news multiple times for being in court, or the protests, etc.
@mikem5416 No, you're right. Marilyn was protested just about as hard and to some degree, I get that. Em even stuck up for him as you've probably heard. Hell, Em was never accused of being the reason for Columbine like Marilyn was. I do miss the controversy.
So vanilla ice was a white “rapper” and basically the ‘only’ white rapper we had in the 90s. It’s not that he doesn’t like vanilla ice… he’s just mocking him. We all laughed at vanilla ice back then. He wasn’t a rapper and he preceded Eminem. So he’s just mocking him, whenever he raps about him. Vanilla’s got this one really great one hit wonder though 😂
WAAAAAIIIIIT! Hearing Rock Bottom again makes me think about Renegade completely differently. I swear, Em's verses on Renegade are literally just a continuation of Rock Bottom
Just spent half my day watching your Eminem reaction videos. I really enjoyed them and I really hope you continue. Would love to see you work your way through the discography and see him evolve and change. Good luck
Yo I'd prolly go down on her husband just to get a taste of Hailie, amirighht??? But I wouldnt go out of my way for it tho.. Only if her husband takes his dihhk out & immediately walks over & puts it in my face, id be like "Okay I guess I'll lick her flavor off" Sorry to completely ruin your comment lmao
I'm so excited to watch you react to the Death of Slim Shady. Once you have a taste of what Slim Shady says and an appreciation for Marshall's overall skill, you'll be able to appreciate the concept of the album on a whole and Marshall's relationship to his persona and songs he's created. Honestly a masterpiece.
Ive seen a lot of qlbum reaction videos. But this is great, man. Love how you show so much respect for how great Ems pen is. This album is legendary and ive enjoyed watching you enjoy it for the first time. Good shit bro
Yea bro your reaction to Rock Bottom was just like mine i was 🤯 and i gotta say that I'm sure a big reason he blew up after this was because his next album MMLP was one of the rare instances where it was super highly anticipated by so many people and it met and EXCEEDED expectations. 👌🏻 Dam those were good times. My bad about all the comments, im just reliving good times with this reaction of yours
Oh I can't WAIT until you hear KIM. Also I get chills every time I listen to Rock Bottom. If I recall, he wrote & recorded this just before attempting to kill himself. I've been here, I've been at rock bottom, I'm pretty close now. This song has resonated with me for years and in my opinion, one of his best songs ever. He is one with the beat on this song.
This is unrelated to this video, though im just about to watch it, i just wanted to say this before i forgot again, as i was watching your other reactions at work yesterday and i just wanted to say im glad you decided to be a youtuber and come back after struggling with the idea for 5 years and being cautious and worried if youll fail or if the next video is the one we wont like. Iwanted to tell you youre one of the funniest reaction channels ive found (and i do watch a lot of them). I hope you continue, ill be here waiting! Hopefully you do more Nf, Em and Ren😊 thanks for distracting me when i needed it, its been a really bad three years, but an especially horrid, nightmare fuel type last 7 months. humor and music keeps me going and your videos have both
so nice of you to type this out bro. Thank you so much for real🤝🏽 and i’m glad i can help you out a little bit through this rough time in your life. Stay strong my man
@@VERTICILE thanks for even reading it! I'm a woman, but you can still call me bro that's fine lmao. Hope you continue, especially with the Trifecta of Reaction videos of Em, NF and REN, some of the biggest crowd drawers on CZcams, you'll keep going up. Your Like to Viewer ratio is higher than a lot of Em reactors who've been around for the last 3 albums. It's not just their names getting you views but, your comedic timing, energy and the ability to hear beats and schemes and rhymes that you break down that a lot of others can't do unless they're rappers themselves or DJ's etc (I know you said we would get mad at you stopping the music to breakdown things other than the bars, but the opposite of that is true. Those skills are what's giving you the success and keeping people coming back! keep doing you, man 😊👌🏽
Listen man, Em has such a large fan base that reactions to his albums are the fastest way to grow your channel, cause fans and stans like me enjoy watching new people get introduced and react to his rap masterclass. You're in for a ride, fasten your seatbelt cause MMLP is next and that one is gonna blow your fuckin' mind. I hope you're gonna continue to follow his whole journey so you can experience the growth/evolution of his skills. You seem genuine and i wish you all the best in your CZcams journey. (Just don't make me/us wait too long for the next album reaction) 😉
Been awhile since I found a dope af reaction channel with the right balance between hilarious vibes + proper appreciation of penmanship! Hoping you chronologically cover all of Em's studio albums! His discography journey is particularly unique because he puts his heart and mind into every project so you know EXACTLY where his mind and character arc is at at the time Only other artist I know who shares this same trait is Kendrick who I'd love if you chronologically check his studio albums out too (only if you haven't yet tho, which I doubt haha)
I love seeing people discover this album. Some of these songs, rock bottom and if I had are pure poetry and should be studied in schools. Rap shit aside this man is the Shakespeare of our generation
This was fresh off the streets, straight out of the ghetto HUNGRY Eminem/Slim Shady. My generation, Millennials (Gen Y), had the privilege to grow up alongside Eminem's music first-hand. I was 12 years old when THIS album released 💪 lol Yeah, D'Angelo Bailey was a real bully when Em was in elementary. He cornered Eminem in the school bathroom one day, with a snowball that had a heavy metal object inside of it and hit Eminem in the head with it, and it knocked him unconscious. He was found in the bathroom hours later in the middle of a convulsion, in a pool of blood. He was in a coma for 10 days. His mom tried to sue the school for negligence and not alerting her, as he never came home after school and she's the one who found him in the bathroom. But she lost the case. Afterwards, Eminem actually had to relearn all of his motor functions again, and he suffered from severe migraines. But he eventually fully recovered, obviously. Who knows though, maybe that hit in the head is what SPARKED his mental ability to see words differently and to rhyme them the way he is able to, with words having double, triple and sometimes even quadruple meanings. There were also 3 other bullies he mentions, Malcom, Isaac and Boogie. 3 kids who bullied him when he was 5 and beat him and took his tricycle. His uncle Todd was stabbed in the gut when he went to get it back from them. He didn't die, he recovered. Eminem had it rough growing up.
Brain damage and rock bottom are word for word almost exact my life, I relate to those the most and because of those songs it got me through life and even got me into making music as well.
Great to see you start at the beginning, sorta. It would be very wise to do all albums this way, full album reaction. There are 12 in total. 13 if you consider MTBMB Side B to be on its own. 15 if you count Bad Meets Evil, and even more if you count D12, and his many features.
I just came here to tag the same thing. Thug Angel writes poetry. Honestly, I’d be surprised if you haven’t heard early NAS - The Message. To this day it still has some of the most insane lyricism I’ve ever heard.
24:30 the album was amazing when it hit the shelves. It was a whole new world of Hip Hop. People were going nuts over the things he was saying. They will never cancel Em!
Famous rappers waited in line at record stores to buy this cd when it came out. There was no real internet or ordering to your house you had to buy it at a record/music store.
I was in 9th grade when this came out. Now 40 and still a fan of his. My favorite rapper is AZ he's legendary but EM just took the world by storm in 99. Dam I'm old haha. Dope channel bro and your reactions are so pure it's awesome to watch and listen with you bro. Definitely some Mushy's and have seen the universe collapse into me and then I became a worm. I usually have a great experience hahaha
This album came out when I was 10 and I had just started listening to rap music. Back in the day you used to go to cd stores and be able to listen to all the top albums before buying and we’d go everyday and listen to a song then hand over the headphones to the next friend to listen to the same song. We were all totally blown away and we’d spend hours in there. Still to this day he’s the best ever in my opinion.
Love how you reacted to this whole album! Please do more full eminem albums. Maybe go in order! Next do the Marshall Mathers LP. Eventually work your way up to see the full range and contrast of his work and how it changes over the years. Also you gotta dabble in D12 a bit! Songs like Purple pills, my band, girls, instigator, pistol pistol, ect. I love peoples first reaction to old eminem songs. It reminds me of when i first started listening to him when i was really young and getting excited when a new album would drop. Me and my mom would pick it up and listen to it in the car over and over. He will forever be my favorite artist.❤

Marshall matters LP NOWWWW!!!!! by far the best reaction videos!! It amazes me how many people haven't heard OG Em. Makes me feel old as dirt lol
What's crazy Hailie's number 1 artist on Spotify is Eminem she revealed it on Instagram 😂😂😂
Yo I'd prolly go down on her husband just to get a taste of Hailie, amirighht??? But I wouldnt go out of my way for it tho.. Only if her husband takes his dihhk out & immediately walks over & puts it in my face, id be like "Okay I guess I'll lick her flavor off"
Sorry to completely ruin your comment lmao
I'm so excited to watch you react to the Death of Slim Shady. Once you have a taste of what Slim Shady says and an appreciation for Marshall's overall skill, you'll be able to appreciate the concept of the album on a whole and Marshall's relationship to his persona and songs he's created. Honestly a masterpiece.
Ive seen a lot of qlbum reaction videos. But this is great, man. Love how you show so much respect for how great Ems pen is. This album is legendary and ive enjoyed watching you enjoy it for the first time. Good shit bro
I’m so happy you’re doing this… EVERY ALBUM deserves these videos. 🤘🏻
Love your reactions man. It's like discovering all his work again !
MMLP next you will love it even more😂
Yea bro your reaction to Rock Bottom was just like mine i was 🤯 and i gotta say that I'm sure a big reason he blew up after this was because his next album MMLP was one of the rare instances where it was super highly anticipated by so many people and it met and EXCEEDED expectations. 👌🏻
Dam those were good times. My bad about all the comments, im just reliving good times with this reaction of yours
Great Editing, Great video man, Keep it up!
His first Album was actually called "Infinite" WAY different vibes but still crazy word play!! Worth the listen since youre a fan now haha
Oh I can't WAIT until you hear KIM.
Also I get chills every time I listen to Rock Bottom. If I recall, he wrote & recorded this just before attempting to kill himself. I've been here, I've been at rock bottom, I'm pretty close now. This song has resonated with me for years and in my opinion, one of his best songs ever. He is one with the beat on this song.
Smiled hard asf when i saw this upload
❤️
@@VERTICILE Infinite was his debut album, this was Shady's
Awesome reaction my guy. Can’t believe I watched the whole thing lol
fucking goat🙏♥️
This is unrelated to this video, though im just about to watch it, i just wanted to say this before i forgot again, as i was watching your other reactions at work yesterday and i just wanted to say im glad you decided to be a youtuber and come back after struggling with the idea for 5 years and being cautious and worried if youll fail or if the next video is the one we wont like.
Iwanted to tell you youre one of the funniest reaction channels ive found (and i do watch a lot of them).
I hope you continue, ill be here waiting! Hopefully you do more Nf, Em and Ren😊 thanks for distracting me when i needed it, its been a really bad three years, but an especially horrid, nightmare fuel type last 7 months.
humor and music keeps me going and your videos have both
so nice of you to type this out bro. Thank you so much for real🤝🏽 and i’m glad i can help you out a little bit through this rough time in your life. Stay strong my man
@@VERTICILE thanks for even reading it! I'm a woman, but you can still call me bro that's fine lmao. Hope you continue, especially with the Trifecta of Reaction videos of Em, NF and REN, some of the biggest crowd drawers on CZcams, you'll keep going up. Your Like to Viewer ratio is higher than a lot of Em reactors who've been around for the last 3 albums. It's not just their names getting you views but, your comedic timing, energy and the ability to hear beats and schemes and rhymes that you break down that a lot of others can't do unless they're rappers themselves or DJ's etc (I know you said we would get mad at you stopping the music to breakdown things other than the bars, but the opposite of that is true. Those skills are what's giving you the success and keeping people coming back! keep doing you, man 😊👌🏽
Eminem is a different level. He’s not just a rapper that’s not just an album of music, he’s a fucking artist!
Listen man, Em has such a large fan base that reactions to his albums are the fastest way to grow your channel, cause fans and stans like me enjoy watching new people get introduced and react to his rap masterclass. You're in for a ride, fasten your seatbelt cause MMLP is next and that one is gonna blow your fuckin' mind. I hope you're gonna continue to follow his whole journey so you can experience the growth/evolution of his skills. You seem genuine and i wish you all the best in your CZcams journey. (Just don't make me/us wait too long for the next album reaction) 😉
Been awhile since I found a dope af reaction channel with the right balance between hilarious vibes + proper appreciation of penmanship!
Hoping you chronologically cover all of Em's studio albums! His discography journey is particularly unique because he puts his heart and mind into every project so you know EXACTLY where his mind and character arc is at at the time
Only other artist I know who shares this same trait is Kendrick who I'd love if you chronologically check his studio albums out too (only if you haven't yet tho, which I doubt haha)
Hope you're going to do his albums in chronological order. I'm here for it.
There’s a clip where he talks specifically about rhyming orange and how people say it’s not able to rhyme
I love seeing people discover this album. Some of these songs, rock bottom and if I had are pure poetry and should be studied in schools. Rap shit aside this man is the Shakespeare of our generation
Now imagine hearing this at 10 years old when it came out like I did
Bro you the best reactor on CZcams! Keep going and stay consistent you next up for sure!
My man🤝🏽 thank you so much
If you want to hear Eminem at his rawest listen to the way I am
Man this is some nostalgic shit what a time to be alive 🤣 right before it all went to shit.
This was fresh off the streets, straight out of the ghetto HUNGRY Eminem/Slim Shady.
My generation, Millennials (Gen Y), had the privilege to grow up alongside Eminem's music first-hand. I was 12 years old when THIS album released 💪 lol
Yeah, D'Angelo Bailey was a real bully when Em was in elementary. He cornered Eminem in the school bathroom one day, with a snowball that had a heavy metal object inside of it and hit Eminem in the head with it, and it knocked him unconscious.
He was found in the bathroom hours later in the middle of a convulsion, in a pool of blood. He was in a coma for 10 days. His mom tried to sue the school for negligence and not alerting her, as he never came home after school and she's the one who found him in the bathroom. But she lost the case. Afterwards, Eminem actually had to relearn all of his motor functions again, and he suffered from severe migraines.
But he eventually fully recovered, obviously. Who knows though, maybe that hit in the head is what SPARKED his mental ability to see words differently and to rhyme them the way he is able to, with words having double, triple and sometimes even quadruple meanings.
There were also 3 other bullies he mentions, Malcom, Isaac and Boogie. 3 kids who bullied him when he was 5 and beat him and took his tricycle. His uncle Todd was stabbed in the gut when he went to get it back from them. He didn't die, he recovered.
Eminem had it rough growing up.
Finally a stan in the comments that knows his history 🔥 thanks for doing this so i didnt have to comment this haha
I was 13 when this came out in high school. Game changer for sure. This and the MMLP are the shit. I'm 39 now and still bump this
Brain damage and rock bottom are word for word almost exact my life, I relate to those the most and because of those songs it got me through life and even got me into making music as well.
Just realized “help dad with 2 more things out the trunk”…. Step dad and step brother. I’ve heard this song 1000 times and never noticed.
I’m so glad someone in this generation recognizes something as special as Eminem
Great to see you start at the beginning, sorta. It would be very wise to do all albums this way, full album reaction. There are 12 in total. 13 if you consider MTBMB Side B to be on its own. 15 if you count Bad Meets Evil, and even more if you count D12, and his many features.
Rock bottom is amazing and so real, glad that you acknowledged as well.
56:11 I would love some tupac
I just came here to tag the same thing. Thug Angel writes poetry.
Honestly, I’d be surprised if you haven’t heard early NAS - The Message. To this day it still has some of the most insane lyricism I’ve ever heard.
24:30 the album was amazing when it hit the shelves. It was a whole new world of Hip Hop. People were going nuts over the things he was saying. They will never cancel Em!
Famous rappers waited in line at record stores to buy this cd when it came out. There was no real internet or ordering to your house you had to buy it at a record/music store.
This is awesome!
Soooo here for it ❤
Can’t wait for you to hear MMLP and Eminem Show. Imo 2 of the greatest hip hop albums in history
Started out questioning and maybe offended..
now hes slowly becoming a stan 🔥🔥
29:38 "that snare hits like a truck, don't it?"
That's that classic Dre production
Love your energy Bro🔥
Do TDOSS next, it'd be crazy to see the contrast
I experienced this the same as you back in the day but I was 14. Listening in my room with headphones. Couldn't believe what I was hearing.
Eminem on drugs = Shady
I was in 9th grade when this came out. Now 40 and still a fan of his. My favorite rapper is AZ he's legendary but EM just took the world by storm in 99. Dam I'm old haha. Dope channel bro and your reactions are so pure it's awesome to watch and listen with you bro. Definitely some Mushy's and have seen the universe collapse into me and then I became a worm. I usually have a great experience hahaha
There's a version of My Fault out there where he changes the whole song to actually be about pizza toppings and the story still works.
I had this version on a Celebrity Deathmatch CD growing up. I forgot all about it until I saw this comment.
The chorus of “I’m Shady” is a play on the Curtis Mayfield song called “Pusherman” 😅 he sure does know good music and references is a lot
I love the delivery on “you’re talking to a plant. Look.”
In Bonnie and Clyde, at the end he said let me get 2 more things out the truck. He was talking about the step dad and little brother
This is why death is a gift, so that people can get old and see the youth experience things with amazement for the first time.
This album came out when I was 10 and I had just started listening to rap music. Back in the day you used to go to cd stores and be able to listen to all the top albums before buying and we’d go everyday and listen to a song then hand over the headphones to the next friend to listen to the same song. We were all totally blown away and we’d spend hours in there. Still to this day he’s the best ever in my opinion.
Haven't listened to this in years. Forgot how many underground rappers he mentioned on this. Cage, rah digga & pacewon. All good rappers as well
97' bonnie and clyde is the sequel to kim btw
Technically Kim is a prequel to b&c as it came later.
Rockbottom is one of his best songs of all time IMO.
Subscribed bro. I’m 23 grew up listening to Eminem my whole life. Look forward to hearing you listen to Marshall Mather’s LP and The Eminem Show
DO THIS WITH EVERY ALBUM!!! This is so nostalgic and great reactions sir!
i plan to brother!
97 Bonnie and Clyde is the continuation of the song "Kim". We would love to see you react to it...
Love how you reacted to this whole album! Please do more full eminem albums. Maybe go in order! Next do the Marshall Mathers LP. Eventually work your way up to see the full range and contrast of his work and how it changes over the years. Also you gotta dabble in D12 a bit! Songs like Purple pills, my band, girls, instigator, pistol pistol, ect. I love peoples first reaction to old eminem songs. It reminds me of when i first started listening to him when i was really young and getting excited when a new album would drop. Me and my mom would pick it up and listen to it in the car over and over. He will forever be my favorite artist.❤
Your Em reaction are fire and also your breaks downs are great you get his dark humour also lol
Rock Bottom is #1 on my list as well. That song is a fucking masterpiece.
This album is storytelling masterpiece.. 💐 💐 To the Greatest 👑 🐐. 🤘🏻
