It's weird calling early Eminem show early Em...when it came out it felt like forever between that and encore...... Relapse and such were not even a glimmer yet... No idea a marshall Mathers lp2 would be a thing ... Damn I'm starting to feel old
@@Choryrth The Joker is a man that got in to toxic chemicals, IT is a demon the eats the flesh of the living (you can find info on it). Slim Shady is EMs demon, he talks about him as such. Given his family history I'm not surprised at him developing these personally individual minds. You see it, right? You may just need to walk in the fun houses like bedlam..
"nobody listens to techno" He's talking about this 90's "techno/electronica-ish" artist called Moby. Before that he said Chris Kirpatrick. Hes one of the dudes from the boy band N'Sync. And before that, he mentioned Mrs. Cheney. Dick Cheney was George Bush Jr.'s right hand man. One thing about Eminem in the 90's and early 00's, he went after everyone. Boy bands, rock bands, other rap artists, politicians, the media. That's why he's always been one of a kind.
And yes, at the time, he well earned comparing himself to Elvis. Unlike Elvis, however, he acknowledged that he was doing black music. He was so skilled that he was right at the cookout and no one complained. The 'controversy' was his lyrics. Because it was a white guy rapping, more white kids were listening and more white parents were complaining. It had nothing to do with him comparing himself to anyone. Just like today, anyone tried to come for him got slaughtered.
There"s so much media today it's hard to compare or comprehend how big eminem was when this came out. There wasn't a lot of cross over between fans of different genres. But eminem was a hit on the hip hop stations, the rap stations, the punk stations, the rock statitions and all the equivalent clubs. He was literally everywhere for a while. Even the senate was discussing him. At one point the ftc was considering a blanket ban on him by name. It would have been an actual American law banning one individual from distributing his music. It got that mental. Eminem is a legend and a goat but he'll never be as big as he was. He was once the global zeitgeist. And arguably the most famous man on the planet at the time.
The Australian government even tried to ban eminem from touring 😂 it was INSANE. He then got in and taunted the prime minister on stage at his concert. I love this man. The POWER over peoples conscience this man welds.
I Think Theres 3 Megastarts Who Reached That Level Of Popularity / Stardum : M Jackson , Eminem , Elvis , He Was The Biggest Shit Ever , Exactly Back In 2000 The Media The News Government Gongress Everyone Was Talkin About Eminem , Also Hes Critics Loves Him A lot , Ive Read Many Of Lgbtq Comments About Him Like 'Yeah Hes Talent Is Undeniable But Hes Menace ... I Think G W Bush Too He Said Something Like 'Em Is The Most Dangerous Thing To Our Kids Since Polio ' And Hes Run Was Unbelievable The Slim Shady Lp + Marshall Mathers Lp + The Eminem Show + 8mile + Lose Yourself + Oscar + Signing 50 Cent (1999-2003 Daaamn)
You know, I kind of miss the days when the biggest controversy surrounding Em's name was the topics he raps about. Today, it's ONLY about being a GOAT or if he belongs in Hip-Hop due to skin color. I mean, I LOVE that the "GOAT conversation" happens and all. But really? After all this time, countless number 1 singles, multi-diamond sells, pumping out one massive beat as a producer after another, signing one of the biggest names in Rap for the last 25 years (50cent) and you want to NOW debate if he should be in Hip-Hop due to skin color? I would much rather argue for 6 days over his topics than spend 6 seconds arguing with some idiot over Em's skin color.
This was when he first started gaining fame. Everyone was trying to stop him, mother groups appeared on every talk show across the country, saying he was too vulgar for the public, his mother was suing him, along with every Christian group, the fcc tried to ban his videos and his music. It was a really hard time for him, but he didn't stop fighting and eventually he settled his personal lawsuits and artistic freedom won out! And he's still at the top of his game. Thanks for the reaction Jojo!
8:28… Nah, Em was pushing 30 about the time this song came out. This was his 3rd album that went multi-platinum at the time. Political figures was wanting to cancel him and shut him down too. So, he was already LEGENDARY!
the evolution of Eminem. you could see the potential all the way back then. going from gifted social jester, to a masterful wordsmith. i consider him a modern day Chaucer or Shakespeare. deep, nuanced, multi-layered meaning in every verse that you could teach a class on unpacking and understanding his work.
I remember the summer this album dropped. You couldn't go anywhere without it being played in a store or being bumped in a car. You need to listen to this unedited. Additionally, the best song on this album showcases the best hook master in HipHop, Nate Dogg and the Track is Till I Collapse. You should check it out.
Oh my god...this takes me back! Obsessed with watching these reactions! Definitely popping on the old music in the next few days. Music will never be as good! How is it possible that we immediately remember the words 😆
Em was on Elvis's level even back then.... This was on his 3rd album Eminem show which ended up selling 30 million by itself and his first 2 albums were already triple platinum an that's just back in 2002
Eminem showed up on the rap scene when rap had got to serious and dark and right when rap really needed a shot of fun put back in it. He was totally ridiculous and off the wall and everyone loved it even if We didn't want to.
It's deeper than the "beat" and the rhythm .... It's Eminem. He is a lyrist . He knows how to use words. Rhythm. Rhymes. PUNS! I love how he did this song.. it's fun! Dark. But FUN!!!
part of the shots at elvis isn't to gas himself up to a legend status, it's actually owning the controversy around himself in that people were saying he was only famous for ripping off the style of rap that was most commanded by african american performers, ("20 million other white rappers emerge but not matter how many fish in the see, it'd be so empty without me" + he also mentions/alludes to it again in kamikaze "but if the only reason i blowed up is cause i'm white though, why don't every other white rapper sell what i sell?") BUT he's actually taking whole shots at elvis for directly and intentionally profiting off the theft of a black artists songs and passing them off as his own in his early days, thereby helping to boost his career. theres hella subjective controversy around this and many other artists besides, but it's p much confirmed that elvis did steal 3 songs (written and composed), the performance style and lowkey vibe of a black artist named otis blackwell
All radio stations dont want play Eminem music at the time so he made this song , Mtv was First who tell him they dont want his music so he made this song
The different kind of Em you talk about are his "personalities" also known as Eminem, Slim Shady (the one on this track) and Marshall. Im not including the Em that was heavily using accents, which Im pretty sure was also Shady. Shady is def my favourite side of Em, Shady raps with immaculate cadence and can find the craziest pockets because he cares less about what words are actually used, while Eminem and Marshall lean more to whats being said and the message behind it
The parents that raised your generation grew up listening to EMINEM and he 100% was not dissing ne1 in this decade; it was the entire late 90’s & early 2000’s.
Hello from Switzerland! My humble opinion: the basic sample comes from "Malcolm mcLaren - Buffalo Gals ". The days in the 80ies when " Wave" lost its "New", a fresh sound came across Europe, then called " Rap "&the fans " Breakers". Trendsetters like mcLaren ("creator" of Punk-with V.Westwood)&Jazz Icon Herbie Hancock ("Rock It" was revolutionar & a HIT!) absorbed it instantly.
He was comparing the "reaction" he and Elvis received because people thought they were out of their lane. Even tho they were both very successful in their chosen genre.
This was his 3rd studio album, he was like 28 and he absolutely was as big as Elvis at tge time. This was the height of his career. He literally took the world by storm and was the biggest star on the planet for a good 5 years.
Lol when he talked about being on the table ovulating and not knowing what he’s rapping about cracked me up. Still have much to learn about the world young man.
Check out Elvis and the black community, quote's from artist's like Little Richard or Chuck D, stamping Elvis as a man who'd fight for black people. Listen to his back up singer's(all black) comment's about Elvis(he refused to do a huuuuuuge show since they didn't want his black backup singers on stage). Grew up in a black church etc etc, give it a look before you write the entire man off as a racist who didn't do anything for black people. Chuck D had a line on Fight The Power where he said Elvis was a thief, then later retracted his statement due to learning more about him.
You should do some Gorillaz! They're currently a 22 year old band. Along with their really vast music, you did also check out the summaries people have made on the lore of them. Yes, LORE Gorillaz is a virtual band, so the characters are fictional. The music and voice of the main singer is made by Damon Albarn. The character and story by Jamie Hewlett.
Eminem was threatened with a lawsuit but never sued. MJ's company bought the publishing company that owned Eminem's music. Eminem apparently has ownership back now that MJ has passed.
Chris Kirkpatrick from NSYNC - Pop, Limp Bizkit - Rap Rock/Nu Metal and Moby - Techno. Those are the three disses. And surprise, surprise: 20 years later and Eminem is still relevant, while the rest have mostly faded into forgotteness.
He made a valid parallel to the king, he was also hated by the parents of the youth back then, the same youth that is the parents today, repeating the same thing their parents did and they ignored, he is saying don't be surprised your kids are ignoring it too, you did it back then.
chris kirpatrick was in n'sync, limp bizkit youve reacted to before, and moby does dance/techno. next eminem has to be guilty conscience it feature dr dre
was thinking to myself just then, this mumble rap fan seems pretty cool, good reaction. then i noticed the name n realised i watch your dads channel, not surprised that i enjoyed this. keep it up
I think he was 30 when this was released, this was his 4th album and was number one, in many countries. But he was already a platinum selling artist, his previous album "the Marshall Mathers LP" is regarded as one of the best hip hop albums of all times, it sold around 1.3 million copies in its first week, instantly going platinum. That album, plus "The Eminem Show" which came after this and had this song on it, are both now Diamond selling. So at that point in his career, at what some may say was his peak, making that comparison to Elvis was very apt. He also wasn't using the comparison as a Diss to Elvis, or even saying he is better (according to sales he is more successful I think), he was pointing out the similarities, Elvis was very controversial at that time and he was protested against much like Eminem was, although I would argue that Eminem got it a lot worse because his content is controversial, whereas older folks during Elvis' time just didn't like what they deemed to be "sexual" moves, and let's not forget, the white folk really didn't like any form of black music, they basically said Elvis was corrupting young white minds with it. If your going to react to songs and/albums please look up the basics such when it was released, how successful it was and at what stage the artist was in their careers.
heres one... this song came out before views.. before youtube was a thing. also the first cd my metal head dad snapped the day i bought it.. he didnt know i made copies.
You gotta understand. Em pays attention to not only the industry, but also the culture at the time of his songs/videos. The big news. So add all of that to the people who tryin’ to diss him? Yo, you have all this bangers. AND to fully understand the song. Although the videos are great. You have to listen to the uncut dirty versions. New fan of your channel btw. Love Eminem reactions. Yours are good. And you pretty good at breaking down bars.
Jojo, everyone Eminem talked shit to in the song had previously spoke out about him first. There is a huge history behind the song. The song is his global response to what was said to him.
My cousin and I listened to his cd, "Eminem Show" beginning to end and on the cd we had he would jokingly say "rub my back, rub my back" . We laughed so hard over it.
I love love your intelligence and intuition when it comes to em's songs.! 🙂👍🏼👊🏼 Especially cause you were a baby when he first came out legit with the Slim shady LP ('99) and MMLP (2000). So thats why you have some confusion with some of the things hes saying or talking about in his lyrics from back then but they are 1000% relevant to WHEN the specific track came out.. this was em's 2nd album MMLP which ws the highest selling rap album for its first week 1.7 mill physical (actual cd sale) copies the first week.. he was so controversial at this time (2000,2001) cause the music industry hd never, has never, and will never see someone like him except since the beatles and elvis. The FCC tried every way possible to shut him down on any and every platform bck then (the pre-digital era) like MTV, BET, etc..
This is early Eminem. It's one of my favorites. He doesn't care what anyone thinks, never has. That's the beauty of Eminem
It's weird calling early Eminem show early Em...when it came out it felt like forever between that and encore...... Relapse and such were not even a glimmer yet... No idea a marshall Mathers lp2 would be a thing ... Damn I'm starting to feel old

You Try Eminem Darkness
Em has always had three personas for his rapping. "Eminem" is the hardcore, "Marshall Mathers" is the storyteller, and "Slim Shady" is the clown.
Slim Shady is no clown. Shady is the monster EM lets out when he destroys artiest.
"Marshall" is his autobiographical character. "Eminem" is the rap superstar. "Slim" is the trailer park drugged out comic book character.
@@darthkrevan710 i mean, jokers a clown, as is IT. so, its that type of clown, the comic book villain clown, like john down below said
@@Choryrth The Joker is a man that got in to toxic chemicals, IT is a demon the eats the flesh of the living (you can find info on it). Slim Shady is EMs demon, he talks about him as such.

Thing is, parents and older people that are complaining about Em being a bad influence had parents that said EXACTLY the same thing about Elvis.
Oh yes, Elvis too sexy to show from the waist down. Loved Elvis, love Em
Grandparents.
This song isnt Eminem. This is Slim Shady. Slim, Em, and Marshall each have a distinct style.
fun fact: I was born the year this song released, so it’s possible that this song is older than I am
Bro! Don't tell me that! I feel old enough, already!
@@TheLastGarou 🤣 facts! 🤦♂️
LOL, thanks for reality gut punch kid. I was 18
Lol, zoomer

This is my favorite of his 'comical' singles from the early days (My Name Is, The Real Slim Shady, Without Me, Just Lose It, Purple Pills, My Band)
Love My Band!
Same definitely
It's my favorite, too

Eminem disses EVERYBODY and EVERYTHING. He truly didn't/doesn't give a f***. I love him for that!
Haven’t been a big Eminem fan but from your reaction this song is a bop for sure, thanks!
This song is fire but this is surface-level Eminem. He has tonnes of other songs that are nothing but bars and lyrics out of this world
Em was on Elvis's level even back then.... This was on his 3rd album Eminem show which ended up selling 30 million by itself and his first 2 albums were already triple platinum an that's just back in 2002
And that tragedy happend at two states.
The bit about the FCC was actually about how they kept fining radio stations and MTV when they'd play one of his songs
I remember when this song was brand new.. and I always looked forward to it playing on MTV or whatever other music stations like the radio was great.
To clarify what you already alluded to, in Elvis’s day rock and roll music was “black music.”
TH-cam didn't even exist...I can't even imagine how high the views would be. And he still has so many views on youtube 🤣
The Eminem show was in my CD player in my car for like a year straight every song is a banger
I had the TDK cassette in my walkMan bruh. Good times
Eminem showed up on the rap scene when rap had got to serious and dark and right when rap really needed a shot of fun put back in it. He was totally ridiculous and off the wall and everyone loved it even if We didn't want to.
Till I collapse is a banger banger tho🔥
@Cortez M I said the same, this track is one of the most underrated Eminem songs.
It's deeper than the "beat" and the rhythm .... It's Eminem. He is a lyrist . He knows how to use words. Rhythm. Rhymes. PUNS! I love how he did this song.. it's fun! Dark. But FUN!!!

he outsold the beatles in 2000. He was def ABOVE the level of elvis when this hit.
I'd say Eminem's biggest party anthem. Back when Dres beats were pretty much slowed down house music
Listening to Eminem censored is a criminal offense, son
Lol when he talked about being on the table ovulating and not knowing what he’s rapping about cracked me up. Still have much to learn about the world young man.
This one's a classic. Another one is Just Lose It.. and, We Made You. He is a whole fool on these joints❤️👉😘
THANK YOU dor marking your videos with chapters (that's what they're called, right?) Makes things a lot easier. :-)
This video is such a time capsule. All the little skits... back then everyone knew what they were from. They knew ALL the references.
life in the 90s to early 00s was the shit.

I'm back on the rag and ovulating. Means he's back and flowing. He's a brilliant lyricist.
Eminem got sued by Michael Jackson and he owed the rights to this song and The Real Slim Shady. Now his kids get paid for them
Eminem was threatened with a lawsuit but never sued. MJ's company bought the publishing company that owned Eminem's music. Eminem apparently has ownership back now that MJ has passed.
Saw him live in London. Epic
Black rappers gave him a hard time at first, but he stood up and took no $hit
I still love this song & video. 😋 awesome. 👍 very fun. Love dre and em.

It always warms my heart to hear a member of the younger generation discover older Eminem songs from my party days when I was young... Solid song.
He made a valid parallel to the king, he was also hated by the parents of the youth back then, the same youth that is the parents today, repeating the same thing their parents did and they ignored, he is saying don't be surprised your kids are ignoring it too, you did it back then.
I love his comedic songs, my favorite is lose it, we made you and my band.
Eminems The GOAT and always will be, literally no one can compete. He if you poke the bear it will attack like it tore mgk to shreds.
Oh my god THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR PUTTING TIMELINES IN YOUR VIDEO!!!!!! subbed just for that honestly, Fantastic reaction though! love you pal, subbed!
Love the first 3 albums
chris kirpatrick was in n'sync, limp bizkit youve reacted to before, and moby does dance/techno. next eminem has to be guilty conscience it feature dr dre
unedited!

was thinking to myself just then, this mumble rap fan seems pretty cool, good reaction. then i noticed the name n realised i watch your dads channel, not surprised that i enjoyed this. keep it up
Everyone has atleast this one memory of a guy driving by with this song blasted at full volume
EMINEM is a genre.
Eminem in his early days was a legend
I think he was 30 when this was released, this was his 4th album and was number one, in many countries. But he was already a platinum selling artist, his previous album "the Marshall Mathers LP" is regarded as one of the best hip hop albums of all times, it sold around 1.3 million copies in its first week, instantly going platinum. That album, plus "The Eminem Show" which came after this and had this song on it, are both now Diamond selling. So at that point in his career, at what some may say was his peak, making that comparison to Elvis was very apt. He also wasn't using the comparison as a Diss to Elvis, or even saying he is better (according to sales he is more successful I think), he was pointing out the similarities, Elvis was very controversial at that time and he was protested against much like Eminem was, although I would argue that Eminem got it a lot worse because his content is controversial, whereas older folks during Elvis' time just didn't like what they deemed to be "sexual" moves, and let's not forget, the white folk really didn't like any form of black music, they basically said Elvis was corrupting young white minds with it. If your going to react to songs and/albums please look up the basics such when it was released, how successful it was and at what stage the artist was in their careers.
He said he was 28 on the Eminem show. So I think he would have been 27 or less here
@@nickrizzo4635 he also said he was 28 on square dance. Same album
This song came out well before 'views' were a thing. Em was a hit with sales.
heres one... this song came out before views.. before youtube was a thing. also the first cd my metal head dad snapped the day i bought it.. he didnt know i made copies.
I gotta say this. You're a very intelligent, very well spoken kid. Bright future for you.
He sort of reinvents himself, a true performer and unbelievably talented lyricist/musician...incredibly honest!
Reason its familiar is because you reacted to the live version of this very early on
yea i forgot
I was going to suggest this one, but you beat me to it.
You gotta understand. Em pays attention to not only the industry, but also the culture at the time of his songs/videos. The big news. So add all of that to the people who tryin’ to diss him? Yo, you have all this bangers. AND to fully understand the song. Although the videos are great. You have to listen to the uncut dirty versions. New fan of your channel btw. Love Eminem reactions. Yours are good. And you pretty good at breaking down bars.
Eminem has alter egos 😆 He's Marshall Mathers, Eminem & Slim Shady. That's why his sound changes with dif songs. This one's more Slim Shady style
Eminem was already established when he released this song. This was from his 3rd album.
the irony is someone made a techno remix of this
This is my fav. song to "sing" at the karaoke bar! :-) cheers from germany!
JoJo will catch up eventually.
Big dub on this fire banger 🔥 🙌
Eminem - just lose it 💯🔥
You have reacted to a live version of this a while ago... that's why it sounds familiar😊😊
Ayeeee

Jojo, everyone Eminem talked shit to in the song had previously spoke out about him first. There is a huge history behind the song. The song is his global response to what was said to him.
My cousin and I listened to his cd, "Eminem Show" beginning to end and on the cd we had he would jokingly say "rub my back, rub my back" . We laughed so hard over it.
Love your channel!!!!!!! I see your reaction to songs I love and introduced me to new stuff I like!
Now you are in Jojo :D Welcome, told you before when I wrote those songs that you should changed your mind :) Good job to listen to them and react !
I love love your intelligence and intuition when it comes to em's songs.! 🙂👍🏼👊🏼 Especially cause you were a baby when he first came out legit with the Slim shady LP ('99) and MMLP (2000). So thats why you have some confusion with some of the things hes saying or talking about in his lyrics from back then but they are 1000% relevant to WHEN the specific track came out.. this was em's 2nd album MMLP which ws the highest selling rap album for its first week 1.7 mill physical (actual cd sale) copies the first week.. he was so controversial at this time (2000,2001) cause the music industry hd never, has never, and will never see someone like him except since the beatles and elvis. The FCC tried every way possible to shut him down on any and every platform bck then (the pre-digital era) like MTV, BET, etc..
I always have to have Eminem ready to go in the car for my 63yr old mother who loves him and she's old school rocknroll lol
The beat is from his one with D12 that’s why it’s soo familiar
Eminem Till I Collapses and Forever
