I could only imagine if this song dropped today. The internet would eat itself alive.
🤣imagine
dude, the world got turned upside down when this song came out back in the day.
@@uvuwuewuewueonyetueosas227 Yeah, he dealt with homophobia backlash back then, but it just took an Elton John duet to smooth things over.
@@JoeRyMi haha for real. He did a few interviews back then too that explained he didn’t actually have anything against gays, we just grew up at a time where words like that were used all the time, not saying it was the right move but it’s def how it was.
its still doing numbers. people still love this music. dont let the pussy majority dictate your taste in songs.
Versace was killed while going to his mailbox years ago... he also happened to be gay so that's where the "...checking the mail, get it checking the male" lyric came from
You nailed it !
I thought it was "checking the male" as in he got "shot" by... eh.. nvm.
and he got check in a mail
i litterally saw how that Bar went over their Head
shows my age that i cant imagine someone not knowing this. Ill never forget those bloody steps on south beach!
The song is called "Criminal" he's talking about doing criminal shit but he's not seriously going to do anything. He's a conundrum. Thats the beauty.
that's the genius.. he got the antidote
He starts the song saying not to take him seriously
then the middle of the song hes murdering everyone
then the end of the song he says not to take him seriously
I love this song. It's meta. He's saying the craziest shit he can think of, but with a prologue and epilogue saying to ignore him.
The industry definitely didn't push Eminem to the top. In fact, the industry and the media were trying to stop him. He was public enemy #1. It was a mixture of his talent, how unique he is (looks/style), and the perfect storm of being associated with Dre, Snoop, etc.
This is vintage slim shady lol, this ain’t Marshall right now guys lol
Aye if people push him now he will go back to his old ways, em still dosent give a f
ikr, what a bummer
Cause Marshall is afraid of Shady...I'd say it to his face
"feelings of the times" : zeitgeist. Cool word. :)
I guess but tbh it would be really corny and weird seeing a 47 year old say faggot every two sentences
Eminem loves to "double down" and go all out when people criticize or hate on his actions / songs. Complain about how you hate him swearing? The next track will include every swear word in the dictionary 😂
yeah these 2 didnt get it at all but thats fine hahahah he doesnt sit here and have these genuine thoughts of killing people and this isnt a way of him getting therapy lmaooooo
@@curto201 i mean im assuming making music made him happy and gave him a purpose, so kinda therapy
People would cry these days over it if he came with lyrics like this again
You gotta do eminem-Marshall matters and eminem - stay wide awake(coldest flow ever)
Omg yes
Stay Wide Awake is a horror movie. A phenomenal horror movie.
did you watch their reaction, and immediately suggest the most rapey song possible?
mighty slim of you Nando mighty slim of you indeed
Marshall matter si 🔥🔥
Yes
These thoughts are just his artistic expression, but people think he is these things in his lyrics.
People would never think the same of a Writer, Director or Actor of a Horror Film
Yes, like others mentioned - there are three sides to him. Slim shady is his psychotic alter ego, Eminem is him as a musician and Marshall is him in real life.
Eminem’s whole thing was shock value. This was Eminem’s sophomore album. He was just trying to say the hardest stuff possible to compete with the first album “SSLP”.
That ''windows tinted..'' run is the most impressive run. I bought this on it's release date and it still blows my mind.
Y’all put it together so perfectly. His music is a snapshot of the world at that time. People give him shit for his music not aging well, but it’s so far beyond aging well.
Ive learned about so much shit from his music, older rappers, pop culture, politics, history, etc just from his music. So wildly underrated
You guys hit the nail on the nail on the head - artists essentially take a snapshot of the culture at that time. If this song was released today, Eminem may have been canceled.
It's also why Eminem has been called the modern-day Shakespeare - both brilliant wordsmiths who make clever social commentary on the culture at that time.
Great reaction.
People of a blow the cancel thing. Literally every generation has things that wouldn’t fly in the generation before. None of it is new. Everybody also forgets that there was truckloads of people, particularly mothers and conservatives who were trying to have him completely destroyed and taken off the air. Look at Elvis, he was in his mid-20s, when he started dating a 15-year-old, That wouldn’t fly today, either.
Such a classic, legendary, iconic, funny song.
Portugal here for the Goat Eminem always since day one and forever. Thanks for reacting to this legendary masterpiece. Salutes.
GUYS, this is not marshal or EMINEM.. its his alter ego, SLIM SHADY.. slim these days is buried.. :D dont confuse them
I believe that if people pushed em he will let this side out
he’s not buried lmao kamikaze isn’t that old
@@richbandicoot That’s more like angry em than slim tbh. They aren’t the same thing
this is Em pretending to be Slim cause he's angry. Slim doesn't give a f
@@tritran7565 this is slim shady… because it’s on the MMLP
This is my favorite song by em. Remember singing it when I was 10 years old lol, people don't understand this song, it's one of his most meaningful songs. People just hear the lyrics and don't get the deeper meaning behind the song lol. It's a genius song lol
Classic Slim Shady. 🤘🏻 🤘🏻
I've been a fan since the Slim Shady Lp, what did it for me was the sense of humor which he lost after the Eminem show, we used to hide these tapes from our parents and listen when thet weren't there. From South Africa with love guys, I appreciate the reaction
The song that brings *MMLP* to a close. What a ride that album is.
Brad nailed this for me. Me and all my friends talked like that. Now we don't. So Lex also nailed this for me cause its a true reflection of the time. Eminem himself doesn't even rap using certain words anymore...but at the time he obviously did. Great review.
I wish there was a video for this. It would be fucking hilarious!
Also, eminem was getting tons of hate from media, parents, etc. This song was basically trolling them
Right?!
Intro ''A lot of people think that what i talk about on a record, that i actually do in real life or that i believe in it'', he does not mean it haha
Please do “amityville” and “when the music stops” from Eminem. But listen very closely and I would suggest the lyrics video.
D12
You can get capped after having a cavity filled.
Love Amityville and Rainman but Criminal is my favorite from Em Drug ballad and Purple pills is good too!!!
Nah EM back then, he was about that action. The whole D-12 was about that life R.I.P. Bugz. .. The JA beef, The Murder Inc Beef, The ICP beef, Em was about that life.
Devils Night is sooooo underrated.
Man eminems beef with ja rule is overrated. Ja was still dropping platinum albums at the height of the beef. Only until the FBI came in did Murder Inc fade. Eminem didn't end nothing
@@euphoriaggaminghd Ja rule dissed eminem in 2003 on loose change.
His last platinum album was the last temptation in 2002.
2003 he dropped Blood in my eye which totally flopped for ja rule standards.
And in 2004 he dropped R.U.L.E which only went gold.
So before the beef he sold 1st album 3 mil, second 5 mil, third almost 10 mil
fourth 4,3 mil.
And after the dissing he sold 500k and 700k
So your totally wrong. He did not drop platinum albums during or after the beef anymore.
I still like his 3:36 album tho, its a great album.
Lmao. There is one thing about Slim u should know: never take his lyrics seriously, just enjoy. This whole track is sarcasm tho, he made this track especially for those ppl who took his lyrics literall. Ppl talked about Em he is a racist, homophobic, a violent prayer and all that stuff, thats why he came up with this one like:"u want it, u can get it".
The final song on The Marshall Mathers LP, “Criminal” provides plenty of examples of and excuses for Em’s violent rhetoric.
Em holds a noticeable pause after “A lotta people ask me”, presumably to draw our attention in. He then drops his punchline with his answer: “stupid fucking questions”.His statement with a rainstorm in the background is a callback to the intro to the last song of the SSLP, “Still Don’t Give a Fuck”. It is later reused on the intro to Relapse’s “Underground” as well.
Both The Slim Shady LP and The Marshall Mathers LP intentionally blurred the line between Marshall Mathers the father/husband and his murderous alter-ego Slim Shady who threatened to murder anyone who pissed him off. Therefore, Marshall Mathers has no intentions to murder anyone in real life, but if he were to do so he would target the idiotic critics that label him as a criminal just because he raps about controversial topics.
"How many records you expectin' to sell
After your second LP sends you directly to jail" -: Eminem mocks the critics who predict that he will soon be sent to jail solely based off of his controversial lyrics. But if we learned anything from Tupac, it’s that you can still put out a successful album shortly after getting locked up.
"You can't teach me a goddamn thing 'cause
I watch TV and Comcast cable" -: Kids these days have so much access to information via television and the internet that many of them feel like they know it all and can’t be taught anything. By bringing this up, Eminem also suggests that there are other forms of media affecting the kids besides rap music, even though parents are much more accepting of TV.
"Slim Shady, I'm as crazy as Em-
-inem and Kim combined" -: Eminem’s alter ego Slim Shady is as twisted as Marshall and Kim Mathers combined - which is saying a lot considering both of them were pretty volatile drug users at the time.
The "A lotta people ask me" is actually a shoutout to the last song on his previous album, SSLP, where in the song Still Don't Give A Fuck, he starts it with "A lotta people ask me, am I afraid of death?"
Can’t wait till you listen to one of his most creative songs imo:
‘25 To Life’
yes i love that song, one of my favorites by him
He done a lot to just piss people off and most knew it wasn’t stuff he would actually do but some took it so serious and let it get to them and he ate it up !
He is always rhyming everything. I could listen to any eminem song from any album or any feature.
Such a throwback! Used to be my fav track on this album as teen 😄
Versace was shot and killed by a former lover when he was at his mailbox
You guys are awesome. Lex is so on point regarding artists.
Ayee, one of my favorites Em songs :)
The 2 of you's have good chemistry made me subscribe I've seen all of em's reactions, and its been 👍 thank you
Eminem - Stay wide awake
Finally. I’ve been waiting on this one!!!!
Off topic, lex you have the cutest laugh I've ever heard! Great vids guys love ur back and forth
Shock rap. Cause they wasn't feeling him when he first came out, so he had to let out slim shady to shock the world and he did.
You are correct girl,you see what you see,plus you hear what you hear.ARTIST
this album came out when i was like 9 or 10 and i remember buying it at camelot music at the mall, mainly because the guy there didnt care how old you were to buy music lol.
Had to subscribe after I saw your reaction to em korn and tool... love it, keep doing you guys
It’s SATIRE!!! It’s brilliant.
😂🤣😂 y’all bobbing before the music even starts
For real. That's the most accurate eminem lyrics I've ever seen on CZcams.
Kudos to whoever made that. Normally it annoys me how wrong the lyrics are.
I love this song one my favorite from Em, no so much for what he is saying but for what it means, Speak your mind without fear!!! That is something that we need today!!!
Ahhh the amount of protests the Marshall Mathers LP and THIS song has caused
Also The Marshal Mathers LP is full on Slim Shady persona. The Eminem Show is more Marshall Mathers and “Eminem” combined
Fun times….
Was banned from my country. Lol
@@bradmcdowell9168 are you still a Eminem fan…
I love you guys you two are perfect for each other
The Versace movie is coming out soon to help you guys shed some light on the checking the mail, checking the male line. Great choice for the video. Love it
One of my fave old school songs
You guys looks good , keep it up :)
Amazing reactions! Super duper cool channel
y'all some real folk. love from philly
I love you guys. There is written history of specific things that happened and it was recorded. But to get the real feel of the environment at the time an artist is sometimes the better historian.
The 90's was the last GREAT decade!! I miss when people weren't so damn sensitive!!!! Bring that back plllllleease!!!
Need more em 😩
Craziest bar went over your heads.
I'm going to assume the liquor line is the bar you are referring to.
Not alot of ppl catch that one tbf
Facts ! No reaction at all !
@@GravelBone367 Cause you caught it the first time you heard the song ofc.
@@warnaoh I’m pretty sure I don’t remember lol ! good point.
I LOVE THEM EMINEM MARATHON! Yassssss- so nice to see people hear him for the first time.
should listen to “ brain damage”
Brad and Lex .. I love you two
The context is when he dropped Slim Shady LP, people and politicians were trying to protest against him and his lyrics, so MM LP is basically aiming at that Contreversy. This song in particulair. I love it.
Now we back on trackkkkkkkk, slim shady rabbit hole hereee weee goooo
Em really is the GOAT. The rhyme schemes and wordplay is so incredible.
Man this was in my CD player all the time back in the day. When cds lol
🥰🥰🥰🥰 Brings back memories...my mom lost her mind when I listening to his music
I was 11 years old when this album ( MMLP ) came out !! Been a STAN Ever since !!
!! SHADYRECORDS4LIFE !!
This is just Eminem showing he could go waaay further than what he put out at that point. Remember that they tried to censor him around this time.
*Eminem (FRAMED)* a prequel to *Eminem's (3AM)* which was released *9yrs* earlier
Eminem said most of the raps he gets from news, books, movies and he’s life. his a artist plus story teller, like a writer writing a movie. That simple
Also beats, produced by Dre, and later by him.
This is by far my number 1 song by em
Much Love From Germany! 🖤❤💛
That the best thank you
My fav eminem song
Art is life
Good nuanced take 😊
Lex, I hope u have a twin for a brutha Hard to find black women like you out here. So glad u exude class. Brad, u lucky as hell. Don’t mess up
You don't know who did his old school beats?! 😱
The Dr.
He is joking here, he put these songs out to piss people off who were calling him controversial 🤣🤣🤣
One of the best songs ever made!!
Lyrical genius, then and now, Tupac is rap god EM is rap jesus
Eminem was public enemy number one with parents and politicians in the late 90s early 00s.
Hellbound by Eminem....classic!
I agree completely!! So sick of people getting offended and trying to cancel people over entertainment.
I love listening to your two minds coming together to work stuff out. It’s really interesting. I always felt like he did the over the top schtick…like just kidding, no I’m not…so he could say what ever he wanted. Either way, it was a reaction to all the parents and critics…like na na nana na, I’ll say even worse. Would love you guys to react to the song “I’m Back.” Same album, you guys will be like 😯🤭😂
Eminem has charisma of the vocals !
You were exactly right is was a response song. Eminem - Beautiful I think you would like.
He didn't shoot the clerk he just fired in the air and said thank you and the crazy fashion that Eminem does.
Eminem is Adam Sandler of rap
There was so many protests after this album came out. At every single show, the courts, etc.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 You just discovered Slim. Hi from Poland
Slim Shady, Eminem Show and Marshall Mathers are all different perspectives. The genius of those 3 albums
Lex is totally right about the "playful" comment.
That's what's so unique about him.
Hes being very serious. But he's doing it with a wink and a smile. ;)
Funny how most people say he is the most sweetest most shy and humble in person lol
I...Think ! And Feel He Is Just A Regular Guy! He Is Just Gifted! We Are All Unique!
On another note, Lex’s insight about music serving as history and the social implications of this fact reminds me of you Rage Against the Machine reactions. That’s the entire point of why Rage did what they did. If you do more of their videos you definitely need to pull the lyrics and analyze them. They are truly an important note in music history
Rap in general was like that back in the day.
@Brad & Lex...in the first verse, he's saying wat everyone said he was because of his music, so he said he's all these things through the rest
He usually uses alot of the extra vulgar stuff as a commentary on society. This song is all about the reaction he got from the media and parents saying he was a criminal for his music and so he basically mocks them by doing this. It's all basically to say.. it's not my job to raise ur kids. Do your job.
This is my favorite em song “Rainman” is pretty funny too!
This is Slim Shady, his 3 names have 3 different personalities so the rap is different when he uses each name. Slim was when he was on drugs. We wont get slim shady again because he is sober now. He did an interview and said this
