    There was a legal backlash for this song. It actually went to court and they ruled in favor of Eminem as a freedom of speech 1st amendment protection.
    This song is intense, but yes, you can hear the pain as he's screaming through this song. A much healthier way to deal with anger than a lot of other people have in this situation.

    The track STAN was actually made way after this track KIM..... so Stan was emulating "Slim Shady" in the Stan video as he was such an obsessed fan that he put his own girlfriend in the trunk the same way believing that Eminem's lyrics were literal. It was to highlight the perspective of a deranged fan that takes all of Eminem's music literally and doesn't understand the context of the art.

    As a child growing up in a house where you witnessed abuse on a weekly basis, I can relate.
    My brother got to an age where he had to be the man of the house, and try his best to defend my mother against my alcoholic dad and often got beat in the crossfire. The system did not protect families back in the day and although my dad was often arrested for the things he did, he was just put in a cell to sober up and sent home the very next day. I'm in my fifties now still if I see a fight, I get terrible flashbacks and my body shakes uncontrollably. For anyone who has suffered as a child growing up, we are survivors, never forget that

    For context, this was Eminem’s second big album.. definitely around his heavy drug usage.. he was also known for being a shock artist and making crazy songs like this and saying outlandish things.
    Kim ended up suing Eminem for 10 million because of the emotional distress the song caused.. she also wanted full custody and didn’t want him to see Hailey, they ended up settling the case and he did get to keep his joint custody, around the same time Kim also cut her wrists in a suicide attempt. Eminem has quoted saying he doesn’t listen to the song anymore and when he made the song it was just built up anger however he said a lot of their fights are very similar to the song, I assume without the killing part lol.
    Also around the same time Eminem’s mom was suing him for 11millon for Cleanin out my closet.. in that case they settled for $1600 lol

    Eminem put his darkest thoughts he had at that time in this song as a way to cope with all the madness and drama he was going through mentally. It is dark, but everyone who been through shit has had those thoughts. I respect he had the courage to make the song and even share it with the world, showing us his dark side and pain. That itself takes courage. Even though you may find it somewhat disurbing to listen to, you gotta respect that he still shared it to deal with it in a way he otherwise maybe couldnt have dealt with it.

    Although released before Kim, ‘97 Bonnie and Clyde acts as a great sequel in an entirely different tone. Then as a resolution Bad Husband is amazing.

      "Schrödinger's cat of whether to listen or not." I honestly couldn't have put it better myself. I have listened to this song exactly TWICE in my entire life - the first back in the early 2000's when I listened to the whole MMLP for the first time, and then again a few months ago when I watched a reaction channel do a full album reaction to MMLP. Both times it put me incredibly on edge, made my teeth physically ache, and I swore to myself that I'd never listen to it again... both times. Yet, here I am. There are other songs - like Drips - that I just don't like, mostly because they get far too graphic with the noises, the slurping, that stuff. This is the one that I actively dislike for the lyrical content and just how wrong the whole song is.
      Chris has rapidly become one of (and likely my number one currently) my favorite Eminem reactors, and seeing him go on this journey... well, here we go, brace for physical discomfort for a 3rd time.

    Well Chris, you got me to listen to “Kim” for a second time. LOL. And I don’t think I ever need to listen to it again. 😂 But seriously, props for really taking this one in stride. Definitely need to follow up with “Bad Husband” (th-cam.com/video/73Sfh_qGsDo/w-d-xo.html) soon! “Bad Husband” is to “Kim” as “Headlights” is to “Cleaning Out My Closet.”
    I appreciate the artistic value of it - the vocal performance of the various characters (but especially just the pure rage and passion from his POV), the storytelling, etc. And I can appreciate that at the time, this kind of creative outlet was probably the therapy Em needed to save him from going down darker roads in real life. But man, the content of this one is a rough one for me to take, and I’m one of those walking “I put on a serial killer documentary to calm my nerves and go to sleep” memes. 🤷‍♀️😂

    You took this ALOT better than I thought mate and credit to you, I remember the first time I heard this as a teen I was shook to the core and it's still probably the only Eminem song that has no replay value to me personally, it's just an assault on the senses and I have to give him credit for making it as powerful as it is. As others have explained in the comments, yeah there was lawsuits involved etc...
    Now, for some ear eraser I suggest something more light hearted from Slim Shady for the next song like "97 Bonnie & Clyde" it was off his first major album called The Slim Shady LP, this song is sort of an extension and was off his second major The Marshall Mathers LP.

    “Stan” it’s an amazing song not just beacause of the outstanding lyrics but also because of the painful vision that EM got of himself, as someone who had been in an extremely dark part of himself and shared all this thoughts and acts through the lyrics, what had a bad effect in lots of fans who saw that dark place as something cool or possible for the first time.

    Eminem is amazing, and I'm glad I was there and had the chance to follow his start of his career, because his early music, Slim Shady LP and Marshal Mathers LP, I recommend anyone who has dealt with depression or other hard things in life to listen to his voice and what he says in those songs, because Eminem really blew up because of the honesty that people could hear from him, and at the time when you deal with hard things yourself, his voice and words and how you could relate to his emotions, it all really helped with your own depression, to such degree that I listened to his songs whole days one after the other, and to this day those times listening to him helped me feel a lot better.

    This song is performance art.
    (A scary thought, but maybe if he hadn't got rap as an outlet, he'd actually done what he acted out here...)
    When I got this album as a kid (I know, right? :D But I didn't understand a lot back then - was just starting to learn english), and listened to it from beginning to end countless times, this song became a skip for me after the first couple of times. I've started to listen to it a few times in the last... maybe 5 years, and it actually became a good one to come back to, for me. I appreciate the art of it, the movie-like quality, Em's acting (even if it's veeeery heavily inspired by his true mindstate of that time, so it was probably not that hard of an acting job :D), and the MUSIC. I love the "beat" actually.
