    What I hear in this song is not the violence, but the pain Eminem felt and tried to exorcise. He wasn't killing Kim. He was trying to kill his love for her.

    Fun fact - Hailey is an adult who has her own podcast on TH-cam entitled “just a little shady”. She talks about her childhood and how close she was to her dad not knowing the things she did as a young child were not normal. Like sitting court side at piston games or having a tour bus so she could spend time with her dad etc. her good friend from that time frame co-hosts the show and talks about going along on several marshals tours with them and how close Hailey and her dad are.

    You gotta eventually get to "Hailey's Song" his love story with his daughter is absolutely inspirational, in a way Eminem's career, from Infinite all the up until Relapse is a story of a man being cast into the bowels of Hell only to have his daughter make the heroic journey into the abyss to save him in the nick of time before he was lost to us forever.
    Sometimes I look into my own daughters eyes & understand everything there is to understand about the man Eminem is.

      You guys are so naive. This man comes from a generation where subversiveness was almost like a rule. Provocation was everywhere. Don't you guys know the 70's music ? 70's movies ? Books ?
      I know every new generation likes to think they are the most subversive that ever existed in the history of mankind - and it's difficult to imagine your parents being rebels because you're supposed to be rebelling against them - but come, just a bit of humility.
      The song itself is "just" a crime scene like we've seen so much in the movies. The thing is, it's accessible to very young teens who just don't know what to make of it, other than nervously laughing at it and impress their friends with it. I mean, Eminem has a lot to express, no doubt about that... But this piece is so litteral, it's not even artistic. It's just here to impress young people and make them feel like they're rebels to be able to listen to something that's so "different" and "subversive". And it's very embarrassing to know that your son fell into that trap and did not even hear a good song.

    Eminem is the definition of not seeing the whole picture of him as an artist, unless you know his actual history and relationships in his real life. Once you do, it completely changes your perspective on his art. Or if you are like me, the Slimshady LP came out when you were in high school, so you've taken the entire journey alongside him and never had to go back and learn the history. It's hard to explain, but some artists make you feel like you are navigating life alongside a peer, who is part of your circle, rather than somebody you just listen to for enjoyment. He is definitely one of those artists for me and they are rare.

    To this day, it's in my top 3 songs of Eminem. Kim just takes it to a whole other level. The imagery it puts in your head is crazy. It's so messed up and dark but at the same time, in my opinion, it's amazing art. I've always felt amazed at how he was able to put this together. Making everything rhyme and have it make sense, while getting your message/emotions out there.
    I feel like this is the best way to show the world what some men go through when they get cheated on. Some men just snap and can't contain themselves. Or what ideas go through some people's, head but never go through with it. Just an amazing/scary song.

    In an interview years ago Eminem said that the song Kim was a love song. He wrote it for his wife and she was the first person to hear it. He played it for her and asked what do you think? Her reply was “you’re crazy. You’re actually crazy”. Eminem wrote this to show his wife how much he loves her in a very strange way. His point was not to shock for the sake of shocking but to show his wife, “this is how much I love you, this is how I feel so strongly about you.” I did paraphrase that last quote slightly but that was the gist of it

    I love this track so much, the emotion is some of the rawest shit I've ever heard. I've never felt that angry before in my life but Em makes me feel it here, i get it, the rage, the hurt, the insanity. It's like a recording of a fucking exorcism.

    @emillachheb-slatwinski1661 ปีที่แล้ว +12

    Something crazy/some back story you might have missed, or just didn't mention:
    In 97 B&C , Eminem is talking about Kim leaving him for another man with a son. He says to Hailie "..and you don't wanna brother do ya? (Na)"...then at the end of the song he says "..first help dad with 2 more things out the trunk..". Then if you listen to Kim, which is obviously the prequel to the events of 97 B&G, during his 2nd verse, some of his lyrics are so profound that they are even edited out in this explicit version of the album (fun fact, Kim isn't even on the clean version of the album, it's replaced with an entirely different song.) The lyrics edited out are something like "..there's a man and a little boy lying dead in your living room.." He then explains to Kim in the 3rd verse, a scenario where it would look like SHE was the one who committed the murders , leaving him unscathed. "...one of you grabs a knife and he accidentally gets his adams apple sliced...double homicide and 'suicide' , with no note.." just another level of craziness and story telling , that connects the 2 subtleties in the songs. Em is implying that he didn't only kill Kim, but he killed her new husband and his son as well. Pretty F'd up shit from a man who was obviously going through something very serious in his life. Kim also sued Eminem eventually for the song and was devastated when he performed it live with her in the crowd after he promised her he wouldn't.

    im so grateful that you've taken on these songs and having i conversation about the artistery in them. as a teenager batteling depression and anxiety eminems songs meant the world to me, and revisiting that time with the warmth of your relationship really is some kind of healing. my parents never understood me listening to this music and were at times absolutely appalled, all the while it was indeed something that truly saved me. and that was just because of eminems incredible ability to portray raw emotion, in a playful but really daring way. create carachters, make politics, and just look his inner darkness straight in the eye and be able to put words to that... i mean it really is amazing and i think this is the reason he got fans like the ones his portraying in stan and rapping about in the way i am, the way he put words to pain so many people go trough has a sort of addictive nerve to it. again, thanks for being a parent who listens and sees the art behind it and thank you both for great videos.

    The father wondering whether the lyric content is gratuitous or not is an interesting question which i suppose is subjective, but for me as for many of em's tracks i see it as a kind of mental healing and counselling for him.....almost like he uses his lyrics as a way of psychological escape and expression!?......incredible!!

    Fun fact about this song is when asked, Eminem stated that he wanted to write a love song for Kim, but he didn't want to write the typical type of ballad, and that when him and Kim got back together, before they got married, he actually played the song for her. Yes, this is what love looks like through the eyes of Slim Shady.
    Most of his Horror core actually comes in twin song versions. Just look at 3am, which is a continuation to Framed.

    The first song was actually based of a song Tupac (makaveli) released one year earlier called Me & My Girlfriend ('96 Bonnie & Clyde).

    this song was him expressing his feelings from the pain he felt from betrayal, and did it through the best vice he had and that was through the music. its a feeling everyone has felt at a point in their life not necessarily with their spouse, but could be a close friend, family member that school yard bully, and those feelings may not be to that extreme but still in a violent way, and instead of acting on it some people find a vice to channel it. another really good visual rapper thats shocking and he tells stories through his albums he went from gangsta rap to horrorcore after getting shot is brotha lynch hung hes got some stuff that makes "kim" sound like a nursery rhyme and the videos straight out of a horror film. which is what inspired him to go into the genre was to create horror films through his albums.

    Eminems penmanship is amazing and out of this world. People who feel uncomfortable on what Eminem says relate to his hurtful truth. That’s why it triggers those people. Em always had a way to rub the wrong on the people doing that same wrong. That’s why it always has shock value. “Slim shady” is a character we all have in our lives when we had enough of the bull.

    Absolutely love the dynamic you and your father have!
    About Kim, for me personally, this song has somehow helped me at times when I was younger when I was full with rage that no one around me could contain. It was a very dark time in my life and I felt so misunderstood and so angry and full of rage. Listening to Kim always somehow made me feel less alone. I do not hear Violence as violence when I listen to this song, instead I hear pain, someone full of rage they are unable to express, so it comes out in the form of some kind of artistic rage?
    Actually I loved this song way too much in my late teen years, to the point that for my high school French as second Language speaking exam, I chose to talk about this song which was shocking as hell to my teacher. I spent 2 months preparing my foreign language transcript about “Kim” and when I explained the influence of this song, I remember my teacher and the examiner were moved that a song so violent could somehow be therapeutic to some Teen!
    Important to say I passed my speaking exam with an A+ Haha! I was deeply infatuated with Eminem and “Kim” spoke to me on a level no other piece of music could.

    • @mernaabdelsalam9470
      @mernaabdelsalam9470 ปีที่แล้ว

      The beauty of “Kim” is that it allows you to create a mental image of whatever kind of dark emotions you are feeling, to let out dark energy you might otherwise have to be on some sort of substance to be able to contain. “Kim” kind of allows for a space to insert whatever kind of imagery to the lyrics that could for some people be helpful to contain unspoken rage that would otherwise be translated into real life violence. Sometimes this song would in a way “therapize me”? Haha, hearing someone else get out such anger and pain kind of does the same for you without actually having to do anything. But again, I had severe depression at that time and needed actual therapy. So I do understand this song might be shocking to many, but for me it was an emotional release to deal with my own anger issues.
