- It's really great to see a guy like this that makes no apologies for what he thinks and believes. Doesn't care who he might offend. Believe it or not, that is an incredible character trait. He is simply incredible...

A brief story on his second album, The Marshall Mathers LP, this was the lead single but it was also the last song he recorded for it. Initially when he turned in the album the label told him he needed a big first single like "My Name Is," his first smash hit, for the pop charts and radio stations. At the time the closest thing on the record would have been "Stan." Out of anger and frustration he went back in the studio and recorded "The Way I Am" and later this song, which both turned out to be his biggest records to date. "The Way I Am" is not only one of his best songs, it's one of his most honest, and it's a must listen!
💯💯
Yes!!! 100% please do a reaction to The way I am @larry’shair
Absolutely he actually goes in and just rips apart anything in his way great song
@@bassxsnipez5918 💯💯💯
Also the first track he produced himself
Can we all just picture Larry driving down the road jamming Em, nodding his head to the music. Lol
I'm so glad you like/love Eminem's music
Guilty!
@@larryshair hahahah nothing wrong with that buddy. I hope you do "My Name Is" next
The best was when ‘Em performed this(MTV music awards I think) and brought like 100 guys that looked like him. Loved it
My favorite part of that performance was when he went and shook hands with Carson Daly 😂
@@kimzwolinski9919 and blew Fred Durst ‘cause they were already fighting at that time
Yeah that was so great. I will never forget that lol
@@ranaewhelchel7960 3990
@@kimzwolinski9919 Yeah that was one of the most iconic performances ever. Em was on top of the world at that time. I do respect Christina honestly. She handled all that shit like nothing and her career was actually real, with legit talent. Everyone else folded like a lawn chair when Em went at them.
The part with the two guys kissing wasn't Eminem saying "eww", the noise he made was Ken Kaniff's voice, which is Eminem's gay character. He usually features the Ken character on skits. Despite what people thought back in the day because of certain shock value lyrics, Eminem is actually very pro LGBTQ+. He's even best friends with Elton John and his husband.
Yes... This. Thank you
People just got hung up over his use of the word "faggot" in his lyrics and judge him by the values of what's acceptable within their own little circle.
He bought Elton John a cock ring. Just shows how anti LGBTQ he is. Dude supports his people no matter what
His wedding gift to them was a crazy expensive jeweled c*ck ring!!! I luv it. Elton and his hubby adore him❤
Elton tells the story that Eminem gifted them matching diamond cock rings when they got married or were celebrating something lol
This channel just makes me happy
Thanks Chris!
@@larryshair your absolutely welcome thanks for the amazing content
Ditto🙏🏼❤️
Also the part about Dre was just a joke, because he has a crazy persona and just says and does what he wants
It's also a reference to another line in my name is
@@HomeCookinMTG Yea it's definitely that. I always thought of this song as a my name is part 2.
The progression from the early reactions to these is amazing. Larry catches more bars than most guys on TH-cam and hasn’t even scratched the surface of rap yet. Great work as always
Thanks so much, Fergus! One of the main reasons that I might be catching extra stuff is the community is totally giving me some great back stories that helps put these pieces together. Thanks so much for your kind words!
@@larryshair absolutely, the community on this channel is so wholesome and supportive it’s so nice to see. Whatever the next video is, I’m here for it!
Not gonna lie I was nervous at first but I’m beyond jazzed that you’re enjoying the light, funny songs now too. Also fun fact: after the Will Smith line he asked somebody who was close to Will if he was mad about it, since that wasn’t the intention of the line. Will had also said, and I think he said it before this song came out but don’t quote me, that Em will “either be the biggest flop in hip hop, or the biggest thing ever seen in hip hop.”
He was able to unlock all the Slim Shady tracks after surviving the “Kim” song.
I thought Will Smith tried to sue him, could of sworn I remember something to do with Will Smith after this song
and NOW you have experienced the 3 sides of Eminem: Marshall Mathers, Eminem and Slim Shady
Watching your mind get blown at 14:33 was hilarious. You're one wholesome dude. Love it.
Thanks so much FR!!!
Hope you're doing well, Frankie 💜
You have to check out ‘Without me’ now! Unbelievable music video and a classic slim track
I second this, I think you’ll love it!
You really need to think about when this was released for so much of the context. Em was the first "real" white rapper, which was super controversial, and so much of this song had to be censored.
Not to mention MTV had no clue how to classify him, cause he's white, and white rappers weren't a thing (Mark Wahlberg and Vanilla Ice do NOT count), and they had rap on for like 1 hour a day (Yo MTV Raps), but rappers were all black, and white singers could be on anytime, so they were baffled how to handle Em.
I will never grow tired of watching you react to Em’s music.
Thanks so much! I don't think that I'll ever grow tired of his music! What a shift from my previous prejudices...
@@larryshair that is a beautiful thing.
I have been listening to Em since I was 13, I am now 30 and still catching new bars!
Im not sure if you’ll see this comment but I am so so glad you found your appreciation for him, no matter if you were biased before. You’re one of us now and can enjoy Em. Im so glad especially seeing the genuine joy in your face!
lol, thanks!
Watch the real slim shady live at the MTV music awards 2000. He did one of the most memorable hip hop performances in history. He literally had 100s of people dressed like him and when he said will the real slim shady please stand up. All of them stood up in the crowd n came to him on stage
That was perfect.
Absolutely loving your journey with Eminem so much! It's been a fun ride!
Thanks so much! Very fun!
Just a bit of context: this was the late 90s, and a lot of what Em's talking about is the most popular MTV music (boy bands, pop singers, and yes Will Smith's PG-rated rap albums haha) was kind of generic, and almost pre-packaged for mass consumption. But at the same time MTV would show Tom Green doing raunchy stuff, and there was definite marketing of sexuality from these supposed family-oriented groups (stuff like Britney Spears marketing herself as a virgin but also dressing up in provocative outfits in her videos, etc). So a big part of this was pointing out the hypocrisy of it all, and Em sort of taking pride in not being some formulaic marketing gimmick for the music industry.
Love your channel, keep up the great work!
OMG! You have reached the eye of the hurricane.....And as always it is a pleasure to listen to you...you see his material without prejudice and you understand what a true artist is....you may like it or not but you cannot deny that he is an artist
Eminem had the best music videos back in the day. They were always so creative and funny.
Still has great videos...at least to me
I think he's leaned back into the fun creative videos during the MTBMB era, but agree there was a period where they were a bit meh to me.
@@MrSceneNine Darkness was very fun lmao
Great reaction! I suggest Walk On Water, I think you'll like it!
Rock Bottom is another one you should check out
agree that he wouldlike
you trying to put us to sleep???
I've been begging for Rock Bottom for so long 😭
Lol I knew you'd get a kick out of this one. It's hilarious that he plays all the characters in these videos. He was hilarious as Brittany Spears.
The only one you should do next is "MY Name Is" the very first song he and Dre made together
Without me would also be an awesome expansion to his library
just start at the beginning and keep going until you have done all his songs! love your reaction videos
I love that you're doing some of his earlier music! The Slim Shady LP and Marshall Mathers LP are both just iconic. So many amazing songs. Then the newer music is equally amazing with bars on bars on bars. He's definitely an Rembrandt!
This brings back such great nostalgia for me, and I loved to see you laughing and enjoying the song! Slim Shady was such a troll, but pretty much everyone was fair game. 🤣 Yes, “My Name Is” and “Without Me” are Slim Shady essentials, but another one I think is a must is “Brain Damage.” It’s essentially a dark comic book take on a real life traumatic event.
I’ll be here for all the Em reactions, in whichever order they appear. (I’m actually here for most of your reactions, I’m just the most passionate about the Em ones. ☺️) As you said, he is an Embrandt. He is a brilliant artist with a crazy diverse catalogue. But speaking of how he can “paint” a picture…just wait until you dig more into the Relapse: Refill album. Lots of vivid picture painting going on there. Most of those pictures are horrifying, 🫣😅, but masterful.
You're such a treat. Unique reaction. Hope your family is OK for the moment! Take care darlin 😘
At the moment, all is calm :) Hope you're having a good weekend!
@@larryshair Better now. Just heard from son number two! Been sooo long. I'm about to cry but had to tell someone. It was a lovely nessage from him btw.
Oops message
You've officially been inducted into the Stan family with all these Em reaction videos Larry 😂. Not because of the videos, but the fact that you understand the art of the lyrics, the poetry behind it. You appreciate the truth that he's been telling his whole carreer. What he stands for as a rapper and person. And maybe the most important; the fact that he has been proven right uncountable times about situations, celebrities and the sh*t people talked about him. 😎😎💪
Nice! Thanks!
Pam and Tommy of course, this album was a couple years after the... ahem... video release. I remember it clearly... took me at least 3 hours to download on a 56k modem!
LOL! 🤣
Beautiful reaction! So glad you could see all the humor and satire. To me its definitely what makes him stand out and who does it better than him?!?!?! Hes the goat with that for sure. To me he's the 🐐 period but in this lane.... class of his own.
I enjoyed how much of a kick you got out of this one. I'd recommend doing a reaction to the other members of the Slim Shady trilogy, My Name Is and Without Me.
You have the unique perspective of looking at him backwards. We saw him face forward. I'm so glad your son sent you on this journey 🙌 👏 💙
This was so much better than I expected. Your insights were great and your enjoyment is a pleasure to watch. Thank you 🙏
Thanks so much!
There will never be another Slim Shady!! His imagination is insane
My Brother died of suicide a few days ago and we'd listen to your stuff together when it came to Eminem. We were both massive Em fans and he was my older brother who got me into him. I don't really know what I'm trying to say here. Just we both enjoyed your reactions a lot. I still do. Love them even if I'm a bit negative sometimes
Balderino, I can't believe you are going through this right now. I am so very sorry. Blessings to you my friend.
I’m so excited that not only was he nominated for hall of fame , but he is being inducted!!! I’ve been a fan from the beginning. To me is a poet. He is funny, and disrespectful, but wise and insightful. I just adore him. Watching him evolve over the years has been a gift.
So well-deserved.
Do "The Way I Am". The song is so raw and honest
Every once in a while listening to this song I have to think of a young MGK who had to have played this song growing up and it just makes me chuckle
When you read about horror and shock rap, how it started and evolved you can really see how he blended and master them. Also mixing humor, real life events and fiction together. Rap is an verbal art form and he's one of the best
Slim did an excellent job at making all the contradictions known by way of various comparisons. He did it with skill and great humor. He’s not anti-anything except anti-distortions. I really enjoyed this brother. Thank you. I first heard this the week it came out. I was about 20. It’s even more valuable today than ever. I think I wrote f you can do Eminem’s song Baby. It’s a powerful track
Baby is such a underrated song!! His flows are insane!
I think you misheard the Grammy reference. He doesn't care for Grammies because those organisations can't stomach Eminem to his fullest. He didn't say grannies :-p love your reactions :-)
Hahaha I thoroughly enjoyed this video. 😂
Welcome to Slim Shady. Overly theatrical with no care in the world! Hahaha. So fun. 💙
Thank you SO much for doing the DIRT VERSION larry :)
Love you reactions!
LOVE from Denmark
You should react to : “without me” as follow up to this song. “Love the way you lie” as a follow up to “97 Bonnie and Clyde”.
So many amazing songs yet to discover. His Catalog is amazingly rich.
'Criminal' would fit perfect after this...
Was looking forward to this one. Great reaction as always!
Cant wait for a Will Smith ''smack/slap'' wordplay in the future from Em
DRE'S IN THE BASEMENT MAKING BEATS
So glad that you are dabbling into the old school stuff! Great reaction!
Finaly you did this, still enjoy your Reactions!
This was my favourite song back in elementary school, and I knew all the words.
You often compare Eminem to the greatest painters, and you are right. In Rhyme or Reason (you should definitely check it out) he has references to Michelangelo and Picasso. „I'm loco/It's like handing a psycho a loaded handgun/Michelangelo with a paint gun in a tantrum...I'm also vain and Probably find a way to complain about a Picasso painting“. P.S. Love yours reaction
**** PURPLE PILLS**** You have to react to this one. It's crazy 🤣
Classic, probably my favorite Em video... Also Kim is a masterpiece of storytelling, it's not something you bump all of the time but it's a must listen, he poured out his black soul on that one
He already did that song
Really enjoying the Eminem reactions 🙌🙌. .so glad found this channel
This is the OG em ! I'm 37 and this was the absolute SHIT when it came out ...legendary idol in those days
I had a good laugh with you bro 😂😂😂 best reaction
The mtv awards video in 2002 of this song at radio city music hall is pretty epic, imo. Em did The Way I Am, at this live awards show too. I was so fortunate to see it live. Amazing. Great reaction as usual Chris. Thx, blessings and stay safe to u and ALL.
Embrandt at one of his satyrical finest, it fills me with such joy that u can laugh at this ridiculousness 🤣🤣🤣
lol, so much fun!
The line about 'dead Dre' was referring to the first hit of Em 'My name is' where Dre said: "Slim Shady you are basehead". And here Em says like Dre says nothing:)
Nice!
Good to see you have fun with a track again. As you've seen in this one he does make references to pop culture, so thankfully you have lived through his career and you should be able to make the connections.
Really cool to see you start digging into his earlier music now. You've got a unique perspective having reacted to his career more or less backwards. But as this and Kim shows, you have a better understanding of the critiques he was making about society at the time, and where he was at with his relationships, instead of just being shocked at the lyrics and dismissing him.
Been going down a rabbit hole of your videos! I’m obsessed! Did you react to this years Super Bowl with Dr Dre and Eminem yet? If not please do!
Great reaction! Thank you!
Thanks so much LFN!
Its been awhile since I heard this cause it was sooo played out when I was kid. But Damn, I didn’t realize how crazy the rhymes and flows were in this silly song. After he blew up with sslp, he totally showed the world how talented he is on mmlp with his technical skills. Mmlp and Eminem show the greatest back to back albums.!
You’re the coolest dad for doing these videos and getting what he is saying
Awww, thanks!
Watching these is like hearing him for the first time with it broken down and the excitement 🙃 🙂 lesgo
This was enjoyable to listen to and fun to watch. Great job on the reaction. 👍🏽
Thanks Ron!
Man I remember this track dropping like it was yesterday!! I was still in school, last few months of school then free into the big wide world. How was that 22 years ago!?
Amazing video as ALWAYS! Keep em coming!
This song is quite nostalgic for so many of us. We grew up listening to Em's music and our parents hated it. A lot of people saw the genius in his lyrics and videos. I remember listening to his first album on a cassette tape in my older sister's bedroom. Something in my head went off as I never heard something quite like this. ❤️
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
This is about to get EPIC! The Real Slim Shady was the first Eminem song I ever heard (knowingly and knowing that it was Em, at least) and 22 years later I can still remember vibing to this on the school bus with a friend, one headphone in each of our ears as we rapped along with him. Quietly of course, so as not to embarrass ourselves or disturb others, but still. It is one of my best childhood/teen memories. Looking forward to this SO FREAKING MUCH! Let's go!!!
Almost done and it is just as epic as I thought it would be. I haven't smiled this big or laughed this much in god knows how long. One small thing: the line in verse 3 is
"It's funny, 'cause at the rate I'm going, when I'm thirty
I'll be the only person in the nursing home flirting..."
I point this out because he was only 28 when The Marshall Mathers LP dropped, which this is the first song on. Put into context, he was implying that with all the drugs and alcohol and everything else he was doing, he was going to end up in the nursing home within 2 years. As we know, it wasn't a nursing home but a rehab center, and it was in 2005, rather than 2002, when he turned 30, that he took his 4-year hiatus (and which of course includes the 2007 OD, which nearly killed him). So those lines are actually somewhat prophetic and truly have a larger significance than you might first think.
His music is just incredible. Absolutely incredible
Switzerland is here and I love your reaction you are so sincere, it's pure thanks!!!! 🤜🤛
I just find myself laughing out loud everytime you do 🤣 definitely cheered me up at work today 👍
Without Me and Hi! My Name Is next. Great Video as usual!!!
I love that comment about you and your wife so much! Real loving and successful relationships rely on that humour and banter 😜😂❤️
love these reactions! You gotta do “My Name Is”
Yes!! A little background.. this song helped skyrocket his career to crazy levels.. and this song was playing on every pop or rap radio station like 24/7 when it came out. It was much different than anything anyone had heard because the beat was so different and the way he just openly talked about other celebrities was so different at the time.
Next you need to do “my name is” it’s very very similar to this song
got to react to the kids. you will laugh your arse off. we will all be in stitches watching this reaction.
3:30 I love how you started with a shout out to your kid wanting you to dress up. this comes out and you're like oh shit. he watches. PLEASE DON'T THINK ABOUT IT :D
Great reaction to one of the earlier tunes. I have seen other react channels and find your the best to watch as you actually have something to say. I'm digging the positive vibes. Looking forward to what's next.
Please react to this song when he did it at the "MTV Awards" that was insane, and also when he performed with Elton John with gay rights protestors outside and then curtain drops and Elton John is on stage with Eminem, goes down to this day at best duo ever at the awards. Also NF is a industry plant who only raps one song pretty much saying same shit all the time, where Eminem has all of the flows all of it, NF is a one dimensional artist and that's the thing, NF had a couple of hits but he won't last long bc rap changes and Eminem understands that and his albums have a bit of everything, but with rappers like NF it's one demension, ghost writing all that it's not "hip hop"
" I guess there is a slim shady in all of us " ,... love your reactions , cheers from Brazil.
"Rembrant, Em-Brant, Monet I can't believe the pictures this man portrays... bar" lmao
lol
You really got this one my guy a props
Gotta watch the live MTV performance of this from 99 or 2000.
More Em, more frequent. Please, thanks.
Eminem is amazing
The "Robin" costume was actually referencing Tom Green in the "Bum Bum Song."
You also need to react to my darling! Very underrated song
You’re one the reasons I keep coming back to TH-cam for. I always look forward to what you’re reacting to next 👍
Awww, thanks!
You gotta do My Mom bro 🙏🏽💯
Props on the "Whats a Grammy" bar...👌
I love that you laughed and had fun with this. I was a teenager when Eminem was in his prime. So these are all my jams! And fyi Em is actually really funny in his music and real life. If you look up his interviews there are some hilarious ones.
I love how much you enjoyed this!! Looking forward to My name is and Without me!
At the beginning Em is just messing with Dre Eminem was a huge troll back then and still is 🤣
Larry, great reaction to another Eminem song. Can’t get enough. Keep up the good work. My next request, “the way I am” from Eminem. Don’t stop reacting to Eminem!
The Way I Am by em is incredible
Unless you were alive and paying attention back when his first three albums dropped, it’s impossible to understand how culturally explosive and huge Eminem was.
Dre disappeared from posting music at the time so he said the reason he was missing was because he was locked up in his basement
Can't wait for more shady classics!
Embrandt was amazing!💯 That deserves more credit💯 That's a great name for Em!
My favorite thing about watching people from any background react to Eminem is that everyone has a different preconceived notion about him. And the more they listen, the more they not only respect Em, but they also respect the rap genre more.
Eminem is the best! I love all his old music
