@frontroom Do "Proof - Searchin for Jerry Garcia" full album reaction. That one's quite interesting as one might say Proof predicted his death with bar in D12 song "40oz", Eminem's "Like a toy soldiers" video and on that album.
Of course, that is almost always the case. It would be weird if rap was the cause... it begs the question, where did the rap come from in the first place? (Of course, some music, at least for some people, can be a trigger, and we see this a lot -- but more common is to blame music on things, which is very incorrect. Em makes reference to this sometimes: how school shooters are blamed on Manson's music. That's just insane. Nobody to blame but the evil people themselves. We make choices; we must be held accountable for them.)
We never talk about the fact that Eminem read the whole websters dictionary. I tried that once....only made it to avaiation. Talent and lyrical genius. Really, Eminem is one of a kind. All he's been through and srill a great father.
Why is it that every company with rights to dead rappers choose to use shitty full cotton Hanes shirts? Why not make a nice Nike custom Tupac dry fit? Chicago, LA, Det, and every other city that doesn’t give a shit about your 100% cotton, but polyester? Just put a target o your back…
I remember going with my bf at the time “clothes shopping “ which is was one of those warehouses with odd shapes and sizes (basically anything that went wrong). He, no lie, comes back with a bunch of XXXXL shirts that were like $1 and one was 2pac and Biggie. The other had printed Benjamin’s and a hustler type quote (this was the early 2000s so no laughing) 😂.. the shirts he actually wore, like all the time. Despite it reaching his knees.😂😂 Probably because back then there was no videotape recording or easy pics that can be broadcasted everywhere immediately. I miss it.
Came here to mention both of those :) Mathieu, if you haven't heard them I recommend them, both those songs are phenomenal. As a father you'll appreciate both of them.
watching your father grasp rap and understand it to the extent that he has is so cool to see. mans rapping lines while dissecting bars, who woulda thunk. waiting for the single from yall!!
@@itmustbesweet Look at crack. The wording of how in the 80s the Reagan’s called it a “crack epidemic “ and now today it’s the “opioid crisis “. Funny how something as simple as that shows that they only care when something affects them. When something happens they look at blaming everyone except themselves. In my state they have been locking up addicts for “drug delivery resulting in death). Despite these laws …”for the drug kingpins!!” it’s completely BS. They go after loved ones who used together and friends. You don’t need to even sell drugs, sharing is all that’s required to send them to prison for 25+ years (worse than R and CP apparently). It’s absurd. I’m in recovery (3 years) and whenever I used, I did so because it made me feel good . I’ve ODed a few times and I wouldn’t want my parents blaming who I used with. No one forced it into my veins.
You guys also can't forget that music like this with this kind of impact was normal back in the day there was loads of music like it but also not if you get what I mean such a damn shame that music era is finished smh
I'm not bullshitting, at this point your dad can already break down rap better than people who have been listening to it for years. I'm sure he probably has some trouble with the ebonics and references still, but it's still very impressive. I love my Dad but i wish he was even close to as open minded as yours is when it comes to music 🎶. Thanks guys!
The line up of singles for The Marshall Mathers LP was INSANE! 1st: The Real Slim Shady 2nd: The Way I am 3rd: Stan TRIFECTA! And to speak on his stardom at this point in time, The Slim Shady LP came out in Feb 99, and this comes out in May 2000. This was just over a year, and he went from being able to walk down the street and kinda get noticed, to the level of fame having a controversial top 40 single and top 50 album all around the world gets you. I think it would be fair to say Em was a talking point and on a lot of peoples minds, for that entire year, but only got bigger and bigger
Sadly enough the singles of Eminems discography give a very false representation of what Em actually stands for. Honestly I think his singles are a huge reason why ignorant people who haven't ACTUALLY listened to his discography put him in a box of "another goofy white rapper" when he has so many songs that are legendary but not his mainstream hits.
@@CasualSharts I completely agree most of them are a complete misrepresentation of who he is as an artist, especially the ones on his post-addition part of his career
Number 1 Single is 'Lose Yourself' for sure... And if any of you ever got that single in stores you would have found the song 'Renegade' on it featuring JayZ... I remember the first time I heard that I was in shock of how good it was.
After seeing your dads appreciation for Tupac, Biggie and Em it would be mad dope to see him react to Tupac & Biggie - Runnin (Dyin to Live) Produced by Eminem
this song really was crazy when it dropped. the music video... back in those days music videos meant so much. i was young in high school and this song was so popular when it came out. he picked apart his situation and who was messing with him. those first two albums really were something special. so raw.
Man I wish I had a father like yours… I don’t have a father but the way he thanked you for giving him the word “catalyst “ to describe what he was talking about instead of being shunned for interrupting gave me chills. I wish I had someone to talk to me like that growing up. The relationship you two have is beyond amazing and it’s great to see that over time you guys are more like best friends then just father and son and I can see how much more comfortable you guys have become with each other since your first videos.
That is so weird bro. That is the exact spot that made me stop and think about the relationship I had with my dad. If I woulda said that. My dad woulda called me a stupid fuck for interrupting. But this guys dad encouraged him. Wish we all grew up with fathers like that.
I love how he is not afraid to speak on real shit that other people won’t even touch because so much controversy and hate now to even speak up about anything and it’s crazy how no matter what Eminem says what he thinks and doesn’t suppress his real thoughts a legend for generations to come for rap music along with multiple other people but Eminem is definitely one of the greatest rappers to ever live
Love this song. I heard my first Tupac song with you guy’s and ended up being a fan 😊 I also heard 50’s song Many Men that I listen to almost every day now. ❤
Em actually wrote this song in reaction to a request from his label, Interscope, or more specifically, Jimmy Iovine. Context: Em handed in the MMLP to Jimmy as a complete work (in his mind) minus The Way I Am & The Real Slim Shady. Jimmy told him there was no lead single and he had to go back and write one. (Em thought it would be 'Who Knew') So in reaction to that he wrote this out of anger and frustration. That's why he has the line about him not being able to top 'My Name Is.' Because that's what Jimmy was basically asking him to go do again. lol irony of course is that he did do it again, but better with 'The Real Slim Shady.'
The amount of impact Tupac, Biggie and Eminem have had on hip-hop can not be measured. Each one doing it in a different way. Introducing your dad to the greatest is a priceless gift!
Nas for sure I'd say as well. Plus A Tribe Called Quest and Q-Tip himself. Quest was great, but then Nas brought what a rap album can be to the next level. Not only was he taking the elements that made the flow sound great (like Tribe), but also the storytelling and meaningful vivid imagery that you can get across like some other rappers I'm too high to remember right now. Biggie definitely influenced things, but I think Tupac overshadowed him immensely. Though the first song I listened to from Biggie was "Dead Wrong (remix)" where he's like "RELAX AND TAKE NOTES. WHILE I TAKE A PUFF OF THE MARIJUANA SMOKE. Throw you in a choke gun smoke guns smoke." That made it seem like he had the worst flow ever. Then I was like "well what should I listen from Tupac that shows he's worthy of being so legendary?" The dude told me Troublesome '96. I'd already heard Changes btw so I knew that he was good and that I liked him. But then he comes in like "Menacin' methods, label me a lethal weapon makin' niggas die witnessin' breathless imperfections Can you picture my specific plan? To be the man in this wicked land, underhanded hits are planned." And I'm like "yo, this guy is so far above Biggie, the only reason they're talked about together is because they both died in spectacular fashion at fairly close times." Now I realize I'm cherry-picking here. But you find me a single Tupac verse that sounds as bad as the Biggie one I quoted above, then I'll take back my words and maybe take Biggie a bit more seriously.
@@sweetnumb wtf are you yapping about the line isn't even bad plus Biggie has the best flow of all motherfucking time He beats Pac not just in rapping but as a person too. He never wanted beef and even when Pac was determined to bring him under he still didn't want that to happen
Fun fact, this was one of the last songs Em worked on with dre before he flew back to detroit. so Em had just the piano looped on a tape. and Em wrote the entire song just to the piano pattern, and everything else was added later. The entire song is written in Anapestic Tetrameter rhyming.
I love how you and your dad give the time each song deserves - while still respecting the need to let the song pl long enough to fall into the emotions of the song
I've been a fan of Em from day 1. When this album dropped it was epic. I'm so glad you and your dad are listening to these Iconic artists. Kai you're a young man and I really appreciate your taste. And dad thank you for being open and do this. Absolutely amazing. God bless
I had the chance of seeing Eminem live in Milan in 2018 and man, and I remember just being so excited and happy to be there, singing this song with as much air I had in my lungs felt like therapy. I've been a fan of him since 2009 and I know it's cheesy but he helped me to go through so much. Life wasn't easy growing up and he was the first one to talk about how gross ab*se can get with medications and stuff. Thank you for appreciate this music to kai's dad! I wish more fathers were involved like you, great job.
Dad hit it on the head!!!! Rap is a symptom!!!!! Smart smart smart man I love him…and this channel. I need to be a patreon and support for sure…thanks for being so open minded dad!!!
Another thing to note for the second verse and regarding the violence in America is that the “upper class city having this happening” was actually columbine. Eminem amongst other rappers were catching heat for rapping about violence and in a sense being responsible for little white kids shooting up schools Also to add to Em’s production, he produced 2pac’s posthumous “Running” with Biggie. Incredible song. He also produced 2pac’s posthumous album “Loyal to the Game” in like 2004ish
Oh man, I can’t wait until you introduce your dad to Eminem’s newer stuff, his mind is just gonna melt! Good on you for introducing him to the stuff a lot of us were introduced to Em on
Great video! You guys should definitely do the Eminem Show for the album! I used to think MMLP was his greatest album, but recently I've realized it's The Eminem Show... absolutely classic album.
This album came out when i was 13. I used to ride my bycicle around town with this CD on repeat in my discman. Waves of nostalgia everytime i hear this song.
You guys are the best. As a father Kai seems to be the perfect example of what you want your son to grow up to be!! I am jealous of the relationship as my father only listens to country and would never do something like this. Thanks guys... you always bring a smile to all of us!!
Woah I never expected to see an early 2000s Hull City AFC shirt in this video! That's my part of the world and I used to go to every home game. From here originally?
if you guys are going to do full eminem albums, i highly suggest you do them in order they were released. maybe even do a little pregame research before each one to see what was happening in his life prior to, and during the making of the album. so many of the lyrics are verifiable stories from the time the albums were made. would be interesting to pay attention to that and also watch his growth as not only an artist but a human.
15:53 some of the parents are now facing criminal charges because their kids actions. This has to be one of the best Eminem songs purely because it’s just an honest message that is timeless and speaks to most people on some level.
EMINEM got into rap with his uncle Ronnie when he was a teenager and he would do like freestyles and stuff with friends. He did a number of underground tracks through the late 80s and early 90s, most of which you’d be lucky to find today. 1996 he put out his first official album Infinite that really didn’t sell well at all. Then he started working on The Slim Shady EP. He went into the Rap Olympics in 1997 where he got second place and a record executive came up to him and got a copy of his tape. Eventually in 1998 it made its way to Jimmy Iovine who handed it off to Dr. Dre who signed him. They re-recorded his Slim Shady EP mastering the tracks, cleaning up the audio, and recording some new songs turning it into The Slim Shady LP which came out in 1999 and in less than a year he recorded this album and released it.
Ronnie was the real Slim Shady. Marshall was possessed by him when he died. Ronnie was the one who murdered the guinea pig and stuck him in the microwave. It’s in Em’s book
Thank you for doing this song. This song got me into Eminem back in the day. The rhymes are so we'll build up. It's great to see your dad exploring this scene with you. You should cherish this ❤️
The line about Marilyn is from after columbine the media said it was bc of Marilyn Manson and they also said Eminem was responsible for violence. Marilyn Manson was also in the official video for the song. I was in 8th grade when MMLP dropped. As good as these songs are now, when u were there for the societal context and what was happening at the time, it just makes it that much better
The level of your Dad’s understanding the music is just top notch. Came across your channel yesterday and just loving every bit of of and the special is your Dad understanding different music he did not grew up listening to. Just Amazing to say the least! 🙌🏽
Awesome video, fellas...I enjoy watching the back and forth between you two...Would love to see a reaction video to "Rabbit Run", "Love me" Eminem feat. 50 cent, and "Bitch Please two"
I love watching you 2 react to music together, breaking it down. I absolutely love eminem. I was about 12ish I think when he first hit the charts and just love all of the stories he tells. I love watching your dad's face expressions with each rhyme, and seeing you both bopping away. Such a beautiful bond you 2 have. On my way to watch dear mumma after this.
Honestly my favorite Eminem song. I heard it when I was very young and it really changed my perspective on myself for the best. It helped me tune out and not worry about others perceptions of me.
Bro you have my upmost respect for not only putting your father onto hip-hop but onto REAL hip-hop and not the BS kids putting out today. Their are young artist like Big Sean, Joyner Lucas, Kendrick, j Cole and others like them you could add to his repertoire but great job so far.
man I remember when Joyner first hit the scene. You actually thought he had the potential to be at GOAT level. it’s a shame he’s really lost that side of him. soundcloud era Joyner was untouchable
Why can you not appreciate one kind of music without hating on another kind? Is it personal insecurity? I've just never been able to understand the psychology of why people act this way.
From 12-14, M&M was a Top 5 Rapper for Me!…& this was My Favourite Song!…Outside of the Fame & Wealth I Related to how People Viewed him!…Plus I Like that he was Serious & Not in his Normal Clownish Mood!…
Always a great song. The cadence was perfect. This hook is a play on the old Rakim song "as the rhyme goes on" when he says "I'm the R the A to the K-I-M, If I wasn't, then why would I say I am"
Why the fuck was this channel NOT recommended to me before. This is a perfect analysis on EVERYTHING em has done in this song, from flow, to beats, to lyrics, to bars, to fucking... Lunch?? Idk these men pick up on everything. Love this channel boys, keep going.
what I love is how when it says "The most meanest MC on this - on this earth" the echo in the background lines up perfectly with that space and "MC" so it sounds like "The most meanest MC on this (Sea) on this earth". This is just the most perfect thing I've seen all day
@@evilscorpio1981 I stopped listening to EM many years ago, but when I was a kid I had clothes with his face on and I even dyed my hair blond. The fas rapping isnt for my ears, maybe he is going for a Guinness record
@@streetchronicles9025 His flow is too chaotic for me, it sounds like beans falling on the ground. New EM is for tone deaf listeners who drink monster energy and punch holes in walls
Hey thanks! We appreciate that, it helps up to maintain and grow the channel. As all of our videos are demonetized and copywrited, the only way we can make $ are through these sponsorships ❤️
You get a sub. Watched about 6 videos of yours, your understanding or rap and lyrics is brilliant. This era of rapping was stacked with talent you cannot have any idea of the phenomenon that Em created unless you lived it full stop. I listen to a massive amount of different rappers, they are old school now I cant stand 90% of stuff released in the last 5 years.
«Go call you a lawyer, file you a lawsuit, I’ll smile in the courtroom, and buy you a wardrobe »…. Those lines man… 😍 doesn’t get more badass than this 😎
Eminem Show is prob the best one to breakdown as an album. Its individual songs are elevated by listening to it in its context because it tells a clear story and references itself a lot narratively. Great video
I’m from Detroit and been a Eminem fan since the beginning. When this came out I was in the ninth grade. This song was everywhere at the time. It still gives me goosebumps to this day. At this time you couldn’t tell me Eminem wasn’t the best rapper out. He doesn’t get as much respect in Detroit now but at this time you couldn’t go anywhere without hearing his music. Eminem first three albums got me threw a lot early in my life.
This was one of the first Em tracks i heard when i was 13 years old, im going on 36 now and to this day this has got to be my favourite Em track ; the lyrics; the beat; the pure rawness and anger in his voice will never be matched, not to mention the rhyme pattern on this is fucking insane
Another great vid fellas..As usual My Pop gets it.. Kia you and Pop are representing for folks who have loved hip hop but don't always get the meaning.. Great job.
Try DemoCreator here ➡bit.ly/41ELXEh
he needs to listen to When Im gone!
and Mockingbird
It was also Eminem first self produced song glad you made sure that you mentioned that part
To hear your dad understand that hip hop and rap like this was birthed out of what the artist saw daily was awesome
@frontroom Do "Proof - Searchin for Jerry Garcia" full album reaction. That one's quite interesting as one might say Proof predicted his death with bar in D12 song "40oz", Eminem's "Like a toy soldiers" video and on that album.
your dad's so cool and humble he can wear whatever he wants and be cool as fuck
worth mentioning that the chorus is a homage to Rakim

It's not cheesy at all. I think people who love Em love him for his rawness and relatability. Stay up!!
Everytime I try to sing along to this song my stomach burns. I can't do it. He puts too much energy into it
The Hull City Shirt was unexpected
You guys are one of the most underrated reaction channels on TH-cam. Your dad is incredible. I wanna have a beer with this man.
Dad hit it on the head!!!! Rap is a symptom!!!!! Smart smart smart man I love him…and this channel. I need to be a patreon and support for sure…thanks for being so open minded dad!!!
"Ominous" was a great word to describe eminems production
Cleaning out my closet by Eminem is a GREAT one! Would love to see your reaction to it!!!
I 2nd this kai!!!!!
I'M SORRY MOMMA!
Great Shirt!! It Looks Good On Ya Pops👍🏾💯👍🏾
Let’s get an Eminem week going!
Awesome gents.
So heartwarming to see father and son vibing.
To all the good fathers.
Love your dads tupac shirt!
Loving dad's Tupac shirt so cool 😎 Great to see you guys review The Way I Am & getting more Eminem on the channel too
Thats a Legendary shirt sir Salute to You.😊🔥🔥🔥🔥
Another thing to note for the second verse and regarding the violence in America is that the “upper class city having this happening” was actually columbine. Eminem amongst other rappers were catching heat for rapping about violence and in a sense being responsible for little white kids shooting up schools
Also to add to Em’s production, he produced 2pac’s posthumous “Running” with Biggie. Incredible song. He also produced 2pac’s posthumous album “Loyal to the Game” in like 2004ish
Oh man, I can’t wait until you introduce your dad to Eminem’s newer stuff, his mind is just gonna melt! Good on you for introducing him to the stuff a lot of us were introduced to Em on
His newer stuff? Not so much…
Great video! You guys should definitely do the Eminem Show for the album! I used to think MMLP was his greatest album, but recently I've realized it's The Eminem Show... absolutely classic album.
MMLP is the greatest, SSLP is a close second
This album came out when i was 13. I used to ride my bycicle around town with this CD on repeat in my discman. Waves of nostalgia everytime i hear this song.
The shirt 😂 thats just awesome!
You guys are the best. As a father Kai seems to be the perfect example of what you want your son to grow up to be!! I am jealous of the relationship as my father only listens to country and would never do something like this. Thanks guys... you always bring a smile to all of us!!
Telling a true story with a 3 word syllabus rhyme scheme from start to finish is just GOAT level rap ❤
Woah I never expected to see an early 2000s Hull City AFC shirt in this video! That's my part of the world and I used to go to every home game. From here originally?
if you guys are going to do full eminem albums, i highly suggest you do them in order they were released.
maybe even do a little pregame research before each one to see what was happening in his life prior to, and during the making of the album. so many of the lyrics are verifiable stories from the time the albums were made. would be interesting to pay attention to that and also watch his growth as not only an artist but a human.
Second this. And also please have them react to 8 Mile (movie) and then Lose Yourself
15:53 some of the parents are now facing criminal charges because their kids actions. This has to be one of the best Eminem songs purely because it’s just an honest message that is timeless and speaks to most people on some level.
yes exactly, but he has changed now (forced to be change) to support a political drama, its very sad to see
@@SJRS700 to maintain relevance and not lose popularity
Liked the video as soon as I saw dad wearing that t shirt 🔥
And now we have the gate way to showing his dad "guilty conscience". Been waiting for that one lol.
just started watching and you two are great!! Love seeing father and son having fun ❤
I’m always ecstatic to see you guys do an Em song. Thanks for another one!
Have been waiting for this 😆👌
I like the way he said "here we go" right before the song started like he was going on a trip
man i like this one especially. love the song and seing you two go through it is amazing. keep em coming 🤩
EMINEM got into rap with his uncle Ronnie when he was a teenager and he would do like freestyles and stuff with friends. He did a number of underground tracks through the late 80s and early 90s, most of which you’d be lucky to find today. 1996 he put out his first official album Infinite that really didn’t sell well at all. Then he started working on The Slim Shady EP. He went into the Rap Olympics in 1997 where he got second place and a record executive came up to him and got a copy of his tape. Eventually in 1998 it made its way to Jimmy Iovine who handed it off to Dr. Dre who signed him. They re-recorded his Slim Shady EP mastering the tracks, cleaning up the audio, and recording some new songs turning it into The Slim Shady LP which came out in 1999 and in less than a year he recorded this album and released it.
Ronnie was the real Slim Shady. Marshall was possessed by him when he died. Ronnie was the one who murdered the guinea pig and stuck him in the microwave. It’s in Em’s book
The Way I am was the Song that Really Got Eminem Respect in the Hip Hop Community ...
Thank you for doing this song. This song got me into Eminem back in the day. The rhymes are so we'll build up. It's great to see your dad exploring this scene with you. You should cherish this ❤️
Dad is dope!! 🔥🔥🔥
This song gets your blood moving
Love your videos guys! It's so interesting and fun to hear you talk about the music too! 🔥🔥
The line about Marilyn is from after columbine the media said it was bc of Marilyn Manson and they also said Eminem was responsible for violence.
Marilyn Manson was also in the official video for the song.
I was in 8th grade when MMLP dropped. As good as these songs are now, when u were there for the societal context and what was happening at the time, it just makes it that much better
Been waiting for this one!
Kanye has always said that eminem is one of his favorite producers interestingly enough
I love ❤️ this song by em 1 of my most favorite artists
Just know this is going to be good! You two are so great to watch keep it up!
The level of your Dad’s understanding the music is just top notch. Came across your channel yesterday and just loving every bit of of and the special is your Dad understanding different music he did not grew up listening to. Just Amazing to say the least! 🙌🏽
Thank you, Jose. (Kai’s dad)
DAD IN THE 2PAC SHIRT REMINDS ME ABOUT HOW MUCH YOU HAVE TO DO PAPAZ SONG BY 2PAC!!!
I love your reactions guys. Great stuff.
Awesome video, fellas...I enjoy watching the back and forth between you two...Would love to see a reaction video to "Rabbit Run", "Love me" Eminem feat. 50 cent, and "Bitch Please two"
Father and son. Your bond is great. Love listening to ur daddy's analysis. Peace ✌️
Love your dad's t-shirt 😂❤ great song, and reaction!! And yes, I'd like to see more lyrical videos, please 🙏 great job guys
I love watching you 2 react to music together, breaking it down. I absolutely love eminem. I was about 12ish I think when he first hit the charts and just love all of the stories he tells. I love watching your dad's face expressions with each rhyme, and seeing you both bopping away. Such a beautiful bond you 2 have. On my way to watch dear mumma after this.
Stan is idd a Masterpiece! You guys should react to 'When im gone' !
Honestly my favorite Eminem song. I heard it when I was very young and it really changed my perspective on myself for the best. It helped me tune out and not worry about others perceptions of me.
Bro you have my upmost respect for not only putting your father onto hip-hop but onto REAL hip-hop and not the BS kids putting out today. Their are young artist like Big Sean, Joyner Lucas, Kendrick, j Cole and others like them you could add to his repertoire but great job so far.
man I remember when Joyner first hit the scene. You actually thought he had the potential to be at GOAT level. it’s a shame he’s really lost that side of him. soundcloud era Joyner was untouchable
Utmost* lol
Why can you not appreciate one kind of music without hating on another kind? Is it personal insecurity? I've just never been able to understand the psychology of why people act this way.
From 12-14, M&M was a Top 5 Rapper for Me!…& this was My Favourite Song!…Outside of the Fame & Wealth I Related to how People Viewed him!…Plus I Like that he was Serious & Not in his Normal Clownish Mood!…
Always a great song. The cadence was perfect. This hook is a play on the old Rakim song "as the rhyme goes on" when he says "I'm the R the A to the K-I-M, If I wasn't, then why would I say I am"
Why the fuck was this channel NOT recommended to me before. This is a perfect analysis on EVERYTHING em has done in this song, from flow, to beats, to lyrics, to bars, to fucking... Lunch?? Idk these men pick up on everything. Love this channel boys, keep going.
Check out “Never seen a man cry” by:scarface
what I love is how when it says "The most meanest MC on this - on this earth" the echo in the background lines up perfectly with that space and "MC" so it sounds like "The most meanest MC on this (Sea) on this earth". This is just the most perfect thing I've seen all day
This was one of my favorites when it first came out, luv that shirt dad,great reaction guys keep up the great work 👍.
Sadly todays EM is just rapping really fast, sober EM isnt the same
How is that sad? So you want him to stay the same and not switch it up sometimes? Stop listening to him if you don't like it.
Literally maybe 2-3 songs’ worth of combined fast rapping on an album of like 20 songs and mfs be like “MoDeRn Em Is JuSt RaPpInG rEaLlY fAsT”
@@evilscorpio1981 I stopped listening to EM many years ago, but when I was a kid I had clothes with his face on and I even dyed my hair blond. The fas rapping isnt for my ears, maybe he is going for a Guinness record
@@streetchronicles9025 His flow is too chaotic for me, it sounds like beans falling on the ground. New EM is for tone deaf listeners who drink monster energy and punch holes in walls
These are by far my favorite reactions. Especially Eminem.
Both of you are 👍 great!!!!
downloaded from your link. thanks for the videos
Hey thanks! We appreciate that, it helps up to maintain and grow the channel. As all of our videos are demonetized and copywrited, the only way we can make $ are through these sponsorships ❤️
@@frontroomYou got it!
Im glad your dad noticed the cadence in the start of the song,even jay z admires it
You get a sub. Watched about 6 videos of yours, your understanding or rap and lyrics is brilliant. This era of rapping was stacked with talent you cannot have any idea of the phenomenon that Em created unless you lived it full stop. I listen to a massive amount of different rappers, they are old school now I cant stand 90% of stuff released in the last 5 years.
Thanks for the sub!
«Go call you a lawyer, file you a lawsuit, I’ll smile in the courtroom, and buy you a wardrobe »…. Those lines man… 😍 doesn’t get more badass than this 😎
Eminem Show is prob the best one to breakdown as an album. Its individual songs are elevated by listening to it in its context because it tells a clear story and references itself a lot narratively. Great video
I recommend to show your dad Sing for the Moment - think he will love the message! Much love from Germany 🫶🏼
I’m from Detroit and been a Eminem fan since the beginning. When this came out I was in the ninth grade. This song was everywhere at the time. It still gives me goosebumps to this day. At this time you couldn’t tell me Eminem wasn’t the best rapper out. He doesn’t get as much respect in Detroit now but at this time you couldn’t go anywhere without hearing his music. Eminem first three albums got me threw a lot early in my life.
This was one of the first Em tracks i heard when i was 13 years old, im going on 36 now and to this day this has got to be my favourite Em track ; the lyrics; the beat; the pure rawness and anger in his voice will never be matched, not to mention the rhyme pattern on this is fucking insane
Another great vid fellas..As usual My Pop gets it.. Kia you and Pop are representing for folks who have loved hip hop but don't always get the meaning.. Great job.
Thanks for The video guys!
I love these reaction videos, makes me wanna go re listen to the entire album. Every. Single. Time. Legends 🙌🏼 you and your dad 😁
It’s awesome that your introducing your dad to Eminem I’ve been lucky to have seen him live in concert
