It was because of columbine. After the shooting they blamed Marilyn Mansons music for "corrupting" the kids. He talks about it right before he calls him out.
I actually tried to come up with a list of my all time favorite rap songs a year ago or so, for which I devised a score system with 40 maximum points and this song along with two or three others was among the only ones to receive 40 points.
Em is not disrespectful, he’s just not scared to say what everyone else is already thinkin Lose yourself is an excellent song. Listened to it on the way to a job interview where I KNEW I could do the job. As a tiny female I had to convince a company full of huge combat vets I could. Walked out of there with the job, and I swear it was the confidence that song gave me!
Cassidy was calling this basic but deep down we all know he couldn’t make a rhyme scheme as long as this or as meaningful 😂. I’ll bet he think Andre on Aquemini is unbelievable then but it’s the same thing lmao.
Em and Pac respectfully tbh.. Even Pac is Ems fav rapper . Pac can't break down words and sylables the way Em does , but like Joe Budden says " I suck at all that syllable shit, I'd rather make the pen bleed when I spit."
Marilyn Manson, when the Colombine shooting happened the kids being a fan of his music was targeted by the media as a potential reason for their actions. Eminem has faced similar accusations in his own career and they were coming up in the music industry and on MTV at the same time. Kind of a peer shout out, imo.
This is Eminem with "12 inch confidence" just slapping you with his "microphone." ... this reminds me of "Easy Does It" the way he plays with the hook (which is also simple like EZ).
Dude, you have no idea how much we listened to these albums when they came out. There weren’t any smart phones or online videos. We had a Walkman and headphones and there was like 1/10000000th the # of artists out back then. We knew all the words and breathed these rhymes.
This was the 1st track he produced on his own. It was written in a poetry style of Anepestic tetrameter. I've only heard 3 stacks do it before. It was the style in which Dr. Seuss wrote. It's why it hits your soul. Lol. This is still my fave Em song, 24 yrs later. When I was 22 & this came out, it was my anger song. Now, I use it to calm down when I'm pissed. Something about blaring it & spitting a long with it is a release
@@phoenixk4328 no worries bro. I actually seen a couple videos of college literature and/or poetry professors use "Way I Am" as an example to teach anaseptic tetrameter. They went more into depth on how that style is a powerful way to get across the message. Much like Dr. Seuss did with his poetry. And it all kind of made sense, because Way I Am is still probably my favorite Em song. It just hit different even back when I was 21 or 22 when mmlp 1st dropped. As far as 3 stacks. Another poster pointed out that he used it as well. Which made me go back thru my Outkast cds , & then on Genuis they point it out on Aquemin 2nd verse. ✌️
He has too much prejudice against em to appreciate it. I don't know if he is one of those people who just fake react to get views. There are bunch of these reactors who don't care about content just view with minimum effort.

This is one of my favorite songs I was in my 30s when my teenagers played this we had a new connection through his music I love how real he is in this song
From what I remember, this is in reference to Columbine and other shootings that happened like it. A lot of the kids involved where into music like Marilyn Manson and the media made it seem like the music and other influences were the problem. I think Eminem was dragged into it as well. Columbine was the first large, organized school shooting and it seemed that others followed or at least they were more publicized and a lot of musicians that weren’t approved in main stream culture were blamed for the phenomenon. And it happened in “middle America,” where kids were suppose to be safe.
@Dylan Schneider I thought so too, but actually there’s a bit of time between Columbine and this song, but I remember Columbine kind of kicked off this period in history where school shootings became a thing. It wasn’t an isolated thing and an explanation had to be found and “bad” music was part of what people thought made these individuals do these things.
Do any of y’all remember watching the news all day, at school, when Columbia happened? We had just gotten tvs in our classrooms and they stayed on CNN all day long. It was awful. I remember listening to Marilyn Manson for the first time, just to see how music could make someone kill. Obviously, I came to the conclusion that it didn’t make anyone do anything. We were just kids, though, we still half believed everything we saw on the news. It seems like kids today understand, way better than my generation did, how to see through bs. I’m glad, they’re proof that humans might make it lol 🤷♀️❤️
@@nikolelael that's because we were raised by boomers who eat up everything the media spews. We're lucky to break away from the spells they cast and we teach our kids that it's nonsense. It's only a matter of time before the media goes under. The only reason it's still a thing today is because the government throws billions of dollars at them to spread there propaganda.
The two kids Eminem was referring to, who were said to have been inspired by songs written by Marilyn (Manson), was in reference to a mass school shooting that occurred in the late '90s. The school in question was Columbine High School in Columbine, CO. The two students, on the other hand, who committed the crime together were both seniors. Their names were that of Eric Harris of Wichita (KS), age 18, and Dylan Klebold of Lakewood (CO), age 17. Both seniors died from self-inflicted gunshot wounds after killing 13 people and wounding 24 others. Apparently, they were both in a cult and had been influenced by Marilyn Manson's music, which initially gave them the idea that eventually led them to committing the most heinous crime imaginable, for it's time.
@@LVnemesis Yeah, extremely edgy stuff indeed, bro! In fact, I actually remember watching a crime documentary about the case, several years ago. It talked about how the two high school boys started filming themselves playing graphic late '90s FPS video games. Later on, it showed their collection of glock pistols among other weapons in their armory. The two, then, briefly began pointing their glock pistols right at the camera lense, while at the same time, began explicitly yelling words of profanity in a terrifying demeanor. Heck, if I went to their school, I would have avoided them at all costs. I mean, that stuff just isn't right, man!
no, they were not Manson fans and in fact they were both fans of the German industrial techno band "Kmfdm" and the band Rammstein, they were not influenced by Manson and Eric considered him an aberration research carefully before spreading misinformation
This was the album directly after Slim Shady LP, which contained My Name Is. This was him saying he wouldn’t be able to top it before he actually did, with this song being one of the main reasons why. It truly is genius level.
the kid who shoots up his school they blame it on marilyn references shock rocker marilyn manson, whos performed this with him on stage a couple times once being the VMA's, em also did the beat
7:10 "wish that i would just die or get fired, not gonna be able to top 'my name is'" i get it, that fear and anxiety you get when you have accomplished something or been put on a pedestal for some accomplishment - the fear of letting people down, the REQUIRMENT to do better when the bar is getting set higher and higher - its fucking stressful and depressing while at the same time being such a high point. imposter syndrome hits hard at times like this.
He’s talking about Marilyn Manson, a super controversial and shock industrial rock kind of dude, his music is actually really cool, especially back in the day, super out there. That’s the Marilyn Em refers to in the second verse
@@Bboyrens97 love that video, Marilyn Manson walks out super dripped out in his own style and starts screaming to an Eminem crowd and people were digging it
Marilyn Manson was the weird, gothy, satan-ish metal musician that stepped into the space that Nine Inch Nails created. Worth a listen of a couple songs, just to know what the era was like. Try the songs "Beautiful People" and "The Dope Show".
Please watch some current interviews with Em. He is VERY different from this time in his life when he was addicted to drugs and alcohol. There’s a documentary on Em’s life that is extremely interesting if you want to know who Em really is.
One of my favorite Eminem songs. Back in the 90's, the first mass media/mass shooting happened at a high school in Colorado called Columbine. When the media delved deeper into the shooters lives, to figure out why they did it, they discovered that they listened to Marilyn Manson music. (Marilyn, in this case, is a man, & band that plays goth rock music.) And because his music is so dark & creepy, he was blamed as being the fuel that fired them up to go all trigger happy. So then Marilyn Manson was interviewed, & it was a very intelligent interview on how Marilyn answered the questions. If you can dig it up, it's worth checking out. Marilyn Manson is a very controversial singer/musician/band. So Eminem is stating, just like himself, the media likes to put blame on musicians when something goes wrong, instead of putting blame where it actually belongs.
no, they were not Manson fans and in fact they were both fans of the German industrial techno band "Kmfdm" and the band Rammstein, they were not influenced by Manson and Eric considered him an aberration research carefully before spreading misinformation
the way i am:: i was in 8th grade, over at friends house, girls over, his older bro's were tokin up and we were playing Mech Warrior 3 while blasting this on his dads big speakers. like 3AM and the cops were called for the music
LOVING your growing appreciation for the GOAT!!! HYI..... Em himself produced this track, not only is he a master with the pen but a dope ass producer. Another great reaction..... Check out..... Sing for the moment Not afraid My dads gone crazy 97' bonnie and Clyde Till I collapse Love the way you lie...... And SOOOOO many more.
Love the reacts bro. Favorite part is how mind blown you are by certain cadences. Ill never be a real Stan by the standards they set but on God some of ems flows just make you stop... And appreciate. Like where does that come from.
Portugal here for the Goat Eminem always since day one and forever. Thanks for reacting to this legendary masterpiece. Salutes and respect from Portugal. I also have this song's sweater. Amazing song.
Good to know that my first experience in Germany with rap was Eminem and never German rap or mumble rap. The best ever and I felt it with 13 🔥 now I'm 25 and still loving him and can't get enough of his songs 🤤
Dammmnnnn, I just listened to this song for the 1st song. It’s crazy how many years later I can hear the anger and emotions from when he initially recorded in the studio...music is insane
This came out in 2000. The media around him in the 90s was insanity. That has a lot to do with jam🤙 Side note: this my favorite Em song. Also, this is the 1st song Em produced🤯
This rap is one of Eminem finest song . He is not afraid to say what he feels or think about would situation in his life. I am admire his rap styles. Cool rap music ❤😊
When this song came out, it resonated with me so much that it's still one of my all time fave songs from Eminem. This song had such an impact on me in high school, and it still does today. My second fave that hit home was Cinderella Man.
The label was pressuring to make another hit radio song like My Name, he didnt have one on the album originally, he was pissed about that and made this song. Then made Real Slim Shade. Something like that.
I see my age in the music I listened to back in high school. Eminem being one of them. It's a great feeling the current generation give insight on 2000s Eminem.
We're disrespectful because we come from an ara where we don't gaf. We didn't care about hurting feelings because we didn't have any. So yes, we related to his f**k it attitude, and we loved that he said whatever was on his mind because 9-10 we did too. We all have rage inside us. We felt this song way more than most could imagine. A bunch of people who raised themselves. That's his fanbase.
Em ha gone through so many stuff, some very relatable to all of us, but also some from a position most wont understand, even tho we see it all the time with "famous" people The diference is, that he put all the feelings he had in his music, like an open book and its amazing
I'm a new subscriber! I actually grew up with Eminem's music. He's a lyrical genius! He's also talks about the Columbine school shooting in 1999. Great upload!
I just started watching your channel and I noticed that the bands and artists you tend to react the strongest to are also the most intelligent musicians in the business (Rush, Tool, Rage, Queen etc) , and Eminem is most definitely a genius as well. This is my favorite song of his and at the time, he was really catching a lot of both positive and negative attention…positive for the song “My Name Is” which attracted a lot of pop-ish fans which was not the demographic he really intended to reach but was expected to continue to pump out catchy mainstream songs and be a “nice guy”, and he resented that. Negative because of some of his other songs that were listened to by conservative people (because of the mainstream success of My Name Is” ) and they found him offensive and crucified him in the media, which he also resented. You mentioned he is seen as disrespectful but I see him more as irreverent. This song is his expression of so many frustrations at the time and his cadence and lyrical style are, in my opinion, a master class in writing on this song. Anyway, cheers, really enjoying your channel! 🎉🎉
Em wrote the rhymes and produced the beat. A lot of people don’t know Em can make beats and make that shit top 10. Just looks at 50 cent first album. Produced by Dre and Em
This jam, to this day, is probably Emimem's greatest achievement. He can rap fast as fuck and tongue-twist lyrics like he's making balloon animals and whatever and that shit is cool but... This one? This is THE one.
This album, and this track in particular, not so hard when it came out bc Em had been being attacked since his last cd for his language and content. Everyone from activists to parents to Congress were coming at his throat and this album was his response. It was so hype.
This was the first song that Eminem produced....I't wasn't Dre.....was Em....

(Marilyn, in this case, is a man, & band that plays goth rock music.) And because his music is so dark & creepy, he was blamed as being the fuel that fired them up to go all trigger happy.

“I’ve been cursed with this curse to just curse” that’s so fucking hard..
I appreciate you appreciating his music! Close ya mouth Jojo! He's that cold!
watchin you wild out to this song made me remember the first time i heard it. thanks for that fam ✊
This came out in 2000. The media around him in the 90s was insanity. That has a lot to do with jam🤙 Side note: this my favorite Em song. Also, this is the 1st song Em produced🤯
It blows my mind to think these songs are as old or older than you. I have to remind myself that when you don’t know the history behind the music.
Recommend No apologies by Eminem. It’s lyrically on another level as if he wrote it with a paint brush.
“Hold on I need to close the window for this” 😂😂😂
Respect for creating the content. I was listening to this album in grade 8, loved it and still do.
This rap is one of Eminem finest song . He is not afraid to say what he feels or think about would situation in his life. I am admire his rap styles. Cool rap music ❤😊
It’s exciting to see young people who treally love hip hop, discovering how much greatness there is to be discovered
When this song came out, it resonated with me so much that it's still one of my all time fave songs from Eminem. This song had such an impact on me in high school, and it still does today. My second fave that hit home was Cinderella Man.
Eminem made this beat btw! 💙
This is the best of Em right here 💯
I saw his Anger Management tour in Cali 2005. I was the biggest Em fan back then.
The label was pressuring to make another hit radio song like My Name, he didnt have one on the album originally, he was pissed about that and made this song. Then made Real Slim Shade. Something like that.
you just rappin bro eminem a beast.
My man react to criminal by Eminem. You might lose your mind
Or deja vu th-cam.com/video/q6G2r-jecHc/w-d-xo.html
I see my age in the music I listened to back in high school. Eminem being one of them. It's a great feeling the current generation give insight on 2000s Eminem.
We're disrespectful because we come from an ara where we don't gaf. We didn't care about hurting feelings because we didn't have any. So yes, we related to his f**k it attitude, and we loved that he said whatever was on his mind because 9-10 we did too. We all have rage inside us. We felt this song way more than most could imagine. A bunch of people who raised themselves. That's his fanbase.
Fellow Jojo. Much Respect. Glad you enjoyed this song.
You gotta see the music video, thats the vibe
Yes! Go down this hole. You will not regret it.
The song "Guilty Conscience" he references in this, is probably top 3 most controversial songs he put out. Pretty crazy song, slaps tho.
Em ha gone through so many stuff, some very relatable to all of us, but also some from a position most wont understand, even tho we see it all the time with "famous" people
The diference is, that he put all the feelings he had in his music, like an open book and its amazing
such insane rhymes and flow ah i love it
i remember he was performing this and Marilyn (Manson - who was blamed for school shootings) came out on stage and sang too
The way you were lipsyncing rapping to it and moving around at the end, i do this alot too :')
Love ur videos bro! Makes us relive the first time we all heard this classic songs
Bruh gotta watch the video if you haven’t already!!
Peace and wholeness fam
i love how he says "radio wont even play my jam" but the radio has been steady playing his jams for like 20 years
He had the majority of his ish pulled throughout middle America coming off the backlash of what was perceived as gay or woman bashing
I'm a new subscriber! I actually grew up with Eminem's music. He's a lyrical genius! He's also talks about the Columbine school shooting in 1999. Great upload!
Keep in mind this was written after "My Name Is..." he didn't know what was yet to be... I love this song. So much fun to listen to it with you.
Check out Stay Wide Awake,
Buffalo Bill,
Run rabbit run,
Drop a bomb on em &
bagpipes from Baghdad!! You will see Eminem’s true lyrical skills! 🤯🤯
I just started watching your channel and I noticed that the bands and artists you tend to react the strongest to are also the most intelligent musicians in the business (Rush, Tool, Rage, Queen etc) , and Eminem is most definitely a genius as well. This is my favorite song of his and at the time, he was really catching a lot of both positive and negative attention…positive for the song “My Name Is” which attracted a lot of pop-ish fans which was not the demographic he really intended to reach but was expected to continue to pump out catchy mainstream songs and be a “nice guy”, and he resented that. Negative because of some of his other songs that were listened to by conservative people (because of the mainstream success of My Name Is” ) and they found him offensive and crucified him in the media, which he also resented.
You mentioned he is seen as disrespectful but I see him more as irreverent. This song is his expression of so many frustrations at the time and his cadence and lyrical style are, in my opinion, a master class in writing on this song.
Anyway, cheers, really enjoying your channel! 🎉🎉
He's talking about marolin mansion. He's a old school heavy metal guy. Eminem is friend with
Absolutely my favorite Eminem song. Just sooooo good
Em wrote the rhymes and produced the beat. A lot of people don’t know Em can make beats and make that shit top 10. Just looks at 50 cent first album. Produced by Dre and Em
That’s REAL HIP HOP. Great Video ✌️😎
Eminem on Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame fam vote 👏🏻
**This guy is A Genius** ..... **Whoa he's dissing Himself?!?!!!**
CORRECT! ! ! !
This jam, to this day, is probably Emimem's greatest achievement. He can rap fast as fuck and tongue-twist lyrics like he's making balloon animals and whatever and that shit is cool but... This one? This is THE one.
This album, and this track in particular, not so hard when it came out bc Em had been being attacked since his last cd for his language and content. Everyone from activists to parents to Congress were coming at his throat and this album was his response. It was so hype.
