Do the reaction cidade negra - a estrada (dvd acústico mtv)
The way I am is also another song that eminem recorded after seeing Jimmy about the album. He even expresses frustration with the label in that song
I love all your videos, but I especially appreciate this one because you explained how a harpsichord works. I always thought that it sounded plucked but it looks like a piano. Now I know why! Thank you!
Imminence reaction please! 🤞🤞🤞
It's funny how rappers and celebrities can say whatever they want and be celebrated for it. If an average person who works a 9 to 5 had to say the stuff these luminaries say we would get frowned upon or even slaughtered. The world is so unfair imo
I've always loved the groove of this song and I never knew that an actual human bassist played on it. That explains a lot.
I don't know who produced this but I will assume Dre did and he uses a lot of live instrumentation believe it or not.
@@wordragon I got the... is by Labi Siffre and that sample is in My Name Is, not The Real Slim Shady.
He’s a real good wordsmith, it’s astounding how many different words he uses in just one song
8:10 The irony is this song won a Grammy and he performed it live in one of the most standout performances the Grammy's might ever see.
I really like the feature that Eminem has his own "universe"
Eminem has three poetic personalities that are divided into 3 parts: Eminem, Marshall Mathers, and Slim Shady.
Eminem - It's his more reflective and poetic side, with more realistic and critical rhymes that make you think. He often describes Eminem as the real rapper side of him, the artist. With Eminem the songs are more serious, there are no jokes, and they are often motivational songs that always seek to inspire the listener to overcome obstacles and never give up.
Marshall Mathers - It's his more intimate side, an introspective side where he aims to address real feelings about his own life in a more melancholy and less confident way, exposing his mistakes and venting. Marshall Mathers addresses both current and past issues, and puts 100% feeling on paper.
Slim Shady - It's his alter ego, the more comical, violent, sarcastic and dark side. Slim Shady doesn't give a damn about everything, he says what he wants without caring about the consequences, he's the side that addresses everything that's wrong in the world without fear of shocking the listener, with heavy rhymes that often make us laugh, but through the joke it also serves as reflection, since not everything Slim Shady says is literal, as it has a lot of figurative language that requires interpretation to understand what is being said. Slim Shady has no filter, he brings disgusting things to the role, and as much as he is a character, a lot of people hate Eminem because of Slim Shady. Let's say that Slim Shady is 99% fictional, since some events in Eminem's personal life serve as a basis for him to vent his anger through Slim Shady, often approaching his problems from a different perspective than other personalities.
And the most surreal thing about it all is that each personality's songs are easy to understand, you listen to a song and you can tell if that song is by Marshall, Shady or Eminem, in addition to the fact that in some songs they quote each other. , especially Shady, the song "Without me" by Shady/Eminem, he mentions Marshall by name at the beginning of the song.
Eminem is simply a genius
I've though that a lot, dont hear others say it much though! I totally agree, its something akin to the modern MCU. I have to think his liking of comics had a lot to do with it, even before the cinematic universes of today, comics had their own universes. Everything being linked just adds so much depth to his body of work, and sets it up well for call backs & easter eggs!
curious though, what do you see as the difference between Em & Marshal? Slim Shady is obviously different, IMO Em and Marshall, not so much.
This is why some people say he's three rappers in one. This is grossly overlooked, coupled with his general musical ability and genius (namely, marketing and otherwise artistic talents). One of the reasons he's so earth-shatteringly popular and praised is because he's three rappers in one. Imagine if you only had 33% of his songs. Sure, that's still enough to be top 10 rappers of all time, and very strong ever since the late-1900s. But it's unclear just how far he would have gone if he merely stuck with Eminem as he tried to about 1995. Silm Shady might be the biggest factor, seriously starting in about 1997 (it's said he took a break to really 'figure' out a way to enter the mainstream rap scene, whilst also forcing people to notice him. This lead to Slim Shady, at once a man who demands respect and yet a man who openly mocks the music industry itself. Genius tactic. Clearly built from the fact that this is just how he felt back in the mid-1990s). Not long after, Marsh was born -- some time into his fame, when he was forced to deal with darker issues and the growing problems within and around him.
Eminem came first, Slim Shady was vital to his fame, and Marsh aimed to shine a spotlight on that fame. Everybody has an opinion on which is best, or simply their favourite. Personally, I've never taken sides like that. I just look for his best songs. Just checking my memory bank (i.e. my brain), I figure that I like all three personas almost equally since the 1990s. When I was younger, I certainly liked Slim Shady and Eminem the most. Then, I went more towards an admixture of Eminem and Marsh. He seems to run between both extremes most of all, though, if we take Eminem as the central axis (or harmonisation of the two). The Eminem side is naturally harder to craft, so it's a bit rarer than the other two personas. But if I had to pick one, I'd likely take Eminem. Close second would be Marsh, followed by Slim Shady. But, let's make one thing clear: Slim Shady alone cannot be rejected, as it's the backbone of personal attack-style MCing. On top of that, Slim Shady is better than 99% of all rappers, I believe. I simply think both Marsh and Eminem have more emotional depth, musical output, and killer schemes.
(Although, a fourth might be when he freestyles. This is often close to Slim Shady but rarely the same thing. More like a beast mode version of both Eminem and Slim Shady -- sometimes some Marsh in there, as well, when he needs to self-diss as an actual tactic to crushing his opponents. I seriously like most of his freestyles. They are often very good musically, showing his raw talent and years of real training, and they are shockingly tight and biting from a lyrical standpoint (though most of his freestyles are semi-written or so-called pre-written, though other terms exist, which just means he has some ideas/lines in his head beforehand, but didn't literally write it like he would a normal song, with some of it being 100% invented at that moment).)
Slim Shady: the mad man with words and/or comedian (more technically, this is often satire).
Eminem: artist/pure MC (akin to Slim Shady, but often more serious and generally higher quality at all levels).
Marsh: the 'man' himself, in rap-form (i.e. introspection).
Just wanted to stress how important and remarkable this is, if you think about it. I'm just happy that I can get any/all of these personas. I don't have to choose. :)
P.S. I have no idea if his songs are actually split evenly between all three personas, but they must be fairly close (maybe with a bias towards Slim Shady and then Eminem, as my gut is telling me Marsh has fewer songs/raps. Now I think about it, this goes against what I alluded to above, so take this with a grain of salt until we figure it out). 'Not Afraid' is still disgracefully good at every level. I know it's very different, and the fact I heard this when I was about 15-years-old (an important time for music and brain dev, I read). Either way, I still think it's a great song. It was somewhat of a turning point, and was when he really came back stronger than ever (around 2009-2010). By 2013, he was into his more 'modern' or 'current' phase, which I find to be very mixed. I'm a far bigger fan of his 2020-2022 stuff than 2013-2019, for a few reasons. 'Marsh' and 'Alfred's Song', for example, are great. (I know some people have noticed that he uses way too many smilies and metaphors now, and some are too simple -- but he's doing good, and trying to find the right balance, and ensure that the listeners can understand. It's worth keeping in mind that he needs to try and reach people, and many young listeners today are not the smartest spades in the shed, if you see what I mean. He has spoken about this before, and strongly implied that he can write things at least 3x more intelligent and deep and layered, but it's not worth it, as most people would miss it -- and he'd have to then spend the time explaining it. His 'readability', as it were, is generally quite good, I think. I'm no expert, of course, and have only heard about 80% of his stuff. But I've been a big fan since his stuff from the 1990s, ever since I first heard him back in the 2000s, about age 11. Been a serious fan ever since, other than most of his 2013-2019 period, as I said.)
P.P.S/edit: I'm now uncertain of which is rarer, Eminem or Marsh, and his exact thought process/habits. I first assumed he ran from one extreme to the other (Slim to Marsh), but I'd have to go and actually look at his history to be sure. Sorry if any of this seems wrong to you. We can talk about it later/you can correct me, haha. I guess, that's what happens when you just go by your memory -- sometimes, you get things wrong. Anyway, I'll leave the comment as it stands, regardless.
"With Eminem the songs are more serious, there are no jokes" - that's not accurate. "Without Me" for example is super humorous and satirical. Both albums The Eminem Show and Encore are also humorous at parts, with funny songs and skits. You could argue that even though the album is titled "The Eminem Show", that "Without Me" is performed by Slim Shady which is represented in the lyrics:
"'Cause nobody wants to see Marshall no more
They want Shady, I'm chopped liver
Well, if you want Shady, this what I'll give ya"
Still, there are other humorous songs and skits on the same album performed by Eminem as Eminem. While I agree that his different alter Egos have different roles, I don't think it is as clearly defined as you stated. They are still one person and flow into each other.
@@solokom total...Em does juxtaposition better than just about anyone!
Wow, you wrote an essay and nothing is right. Stop trying to get into peoples head. Start with your own. You are psycho
I very much appreciated the history of the song, and the isolation of some of the instruments and why they were used. I realize you’re probably going for more of the vocal analysis but to be able to walk away learning a lot about the song in general is one of my favorite reasons for watching.
Your vocal/musical breakdown is of course gold! But I just want to give an extra thank you and shout out for the research that you put in!
Thank you! I'm trying to do more like this!
@@BethRoars be interesting to see what you make of the legend that is General Levy. This live session shows his phenomenal vocal talent th-cam.com/video/og2C6J9F4lc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=MuO-U47184rT1MCS 💪🏽
Thank you. Everybody and thier grandmother can listen to a random song and have a reaction.
What sets professional musicians and musical teachers apart is the knowledge of what all goes in to writing a song. Recording, producing, balancing, editing..
Akin to cabinetry.
You don't just walk out into the forest with an axe and a pocket knife to whittle kitchen cabinets. There's a long process involved.
Skills, talents.
You can shine a light on just what the artist is doing, but the musicians playing various instruments are doing as well.
Give us a fuller picture of what is going on with a particular song.
Always learn something interesting from your analysis. I bobbed to this song with a whole new feel 😊
That is so lovely! Thank you!
YES! a culturally significant song. Remember there's some real slim shady in ALL of us! 😁😄😁😄 love your channel ma'am. ❤
Marshall Bruce Mathers III has three different voices: as Slim Shady, Eminem and himself in interviews.
Nope! Almost though. He's actually got Slim Shady (his original rap name when he was doing underground and before people reversed My Name Is), and then people heard him say eminem when it was reversed, so people started calling him Eminem. Then he overdosed on some drugs and everyone thought he was dead ( think it was in 2010, sometime around that period) and so he chilled out, and his music wasn't as offensive until the new album that just came out, that's himself, Marshall Mathers.
This is the most unique breakdown ive seen by far!!
His VMA awards performance of this was pretty cool
The red superhero outfit with the yellow cape and the line "my bum is on" is a reference to the Tom Green's The Bum Bum Song.
I hope you do some more Eminem deep dives - his song structure is literally genius, and the way he can bend or twist words to fit a rhyme scheme is unmatched. Sonically, he has found the blueprint to making songs that just absolutely fit his voice to produce hits.
Great analysis! I really like that you're starting to dig into songs this way! Good luck with your new music! 👊
Great video Beth! One small comment about this being the first hip-hop song in the mainstream to use comedy... That was happening as far back as the early 1980s with songs like "Rapper's Delight" , "Jam On It", and The Fat Boys. Humor has been a part of hip-hop for a long time. It just got lost a little in the 90s with the proliferation of gangsta rap and more hardcore artists.
Agreed, even the humor and "not taking ourselves super serious" theme with the Beastie Boys as well during that period.
Biz Markie uses comedy all the time. I think that humor has always been a part of hip hop not all artists but for sure there are a bunch.
Dont forget Roaches by Bobby Jimmy and the Critters..parody of Rumors
Ever heard of the Beastie Boys?
No one's going to mention Will Smith's "Fresh Prince" albums? The first three were almost all humor-rap. Come on, he did a song about fighting Mike Tyson, and another about bumping into Freddy Krueger.
I found your channel through Eminem breakdowns; as a fellow musician, I appreciate your level of attention to the music and lyrics. And I love to see your channel becoming more complex. Great job
The first Em track I ever heard in the States was Hi My Name Is.
Slim and Dre had actually produced several cheeky tracks already for the Slim Shady EP.
Shady flawlessly combines meticulously crafted and intricate layering of internal rhyme schemes with ridiculous subject matter, pointedly described and precisely articulated. A true genius, he.
I love and adore Eminem, he is a lyrical genius, and so many singers could learn alot from him. Awesome reaction as always Beth, would love to see you do more reactions to Eminem songs in the future. :)
what a freaking incredible video with all the background information aswell! Really enjoyed it. Thanks beth.
Your videos have really levelled up lately!
Your facial expression cracked me up when Slim spits on the food. And then you rewound it and watched it again. 😂
John Cena paid an homage to video at Wrestlemania when he had quite a few guys that looked like him walk in with him to his entrance music.
Homage, or copycat? Eminem did it at the MTV Awards when he performed this... :-)
@cautionbug Well since Cena is a huge Hiphop Head and Em is on Mount Rushmore of rappers (along with Jay Z, Jadakiss and someone named Copywrite) I'd say Homage.
It's incredible how I never noticed this flute in the end of the song and now I can't stop to hearing this flute. thank you so much
This is such a great video. I loved how you gave backstory and pointed out harder to spot elements in the song. I’ve heard this song a trillion times but never noticed the cymbals. Very, very well done!!
A fun thing alot of rappers do is make words that rhyme with each other be the same pitch, even if the pitch is approximate compared to more traditional singing
Great Reaction Video! Eminem was undeniable, we had to go through his say.
The other thing to remember about this is it was a point in time. Em was a young guy back then. He was living that "f*ck you* attitude that a lot of us did as young adults. Like he said, he was trolling the mainstream entertainment and pop industry the whole time. A giant middle finger to everyone and everything just for the sake of it. The whole idea of saying whatever the hell I want to say and let's just see what I can get away with. It's bravado and attitude and not necessarily to be taken literally, obviously.
As I've got older, while I recognize it and appreciate it, it doesn't connect with me anymore when the new generation of artists puts this content out. It's not because it was "better in my day" its just that punk music today is for the youth of today. And that's not the mindspace I'm in anymore as an adult. And that's just growing up and maturing. Old Em is nostalgia for me because it takes me back. But I appreciate new Em for what he's doing now as a rapper in his 50's. Crazy to think that we're that old LOL.
I can't stop dancing whenever the chorus pulls up
Holy shit I didn’t know I’d be set uo for a history lesson with this video. Well done!
Looking through your videos, there's so many I can't wait to watch! May I make a request? I don't see any of W.A.S.P. and their incredible and uniquely voiced Blackie Lawless. I think you'll really enjoy his howl. Also, please think about putting on some RATT. Stephen Pearcy also has a very cool instrument. Thanks for considering!
Es el mejor, lo amo!!!❤❤❤
Great background. Very knowledgeable.
Wow that was such a cool breakdown. Love the bit of history you included.
Wow I learned a lot more than I expected watching an Eminem breakdown! And that's saying a LOT!
I love this! Always her for Em tracks 😊
Would be interesting to see you analyze his more harmonic songs like Mocking Bird, or his faster raps with frequent flow changes like Godzilla or Rap God ❤
Clever. Like the beat. Rap can be creative and fun.
I never knew that was how they found the beat. What a great story!
that song came out in like 2000 and that clip of him speaking is either from around now or like 2010
I really appreciate you chose this song. Even though hes not "singing" its nice to hear a breakdown and appreciatio. of his vocal choices and skills.
Yo-Yo! 🪀 Another Marshall's track is here!✌
Lovely! The chord progression is samples from the legendary Labi Siffre. “I Got The…”
That's actually "My name is" where he samples "I Got the...". But I agree Labi is legendary
@@TheDKwikingHaha oops you are right!😅
Layer upon layers of lyrics, vocal technique and funny on top of all of it.
We all have a Slim Shady in us. Ren talks about this in Hi Ren. That part of us all that can destructive but paradoxically is necessary
More Eminem reactions, please. Your break downs are really interesting. "Stan" is my personal recommendation.
Ha, that dude was holding a Bill the cat doll.
In We're the Ones Who Made You, he raps about his ridiculous use of nostalgia. As a Gen X, I love the Easter Eggs 😊
Informative. I had no idea I'd ever heard a rap song with a harpsicord in it.
I like that people like you explain to the world that doing what Eminem does is not that easy but that, in addition to the talent of writing words, there is also a vocal technique.
The same goes, for example, when you make the world understand that singing like Will Ramos of Lorna Shore is not "making noise" but that there is enormous technique and talent behind it.
I'd love to see him live again!
if you reacted to Gnat you would love it! It would be so interesting to see how a vocal coach breaks down the rap.
the first song they did was my name is
you will be surprise, if you breakdown "speedom" song eminem, tech n9ne, krizz kaliko. em built different in that song
Em is built different in every feature he does!🤣
No need to care whether it is controversial or not, it was a HUGE hit song that everyone knows. You don't have to like or dislike it to listen and offer and oppinion ;)
Funny how Beth talks about Em bringing comedic rap to the mainstream just before the line about Will Smith. We've got to get her on some DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince tracks.
Parents just don't understand
I think maybe she meant that he brought comedy BACK into rap. Rap started much more light and fun / funny. Until gangsta rap took over and it became aggressive and serious.
One note on the history: When Jimmy came back and said it needed something lighter to release as a first single, Eminem was so angry that he wrote and recorded another song that ended up on the album ("The Way I Am") as a way of "breathing the fire out of his lungs" as it were. Then once he calmed down, he wrote and made "The Real Slim Shady".
In this song, Eminem cleverly incorporates the flow of the classic Eric B and Rakim song "As The Rhyme Goes On" to pay tribute to Rakim. The best part is that he does it without being too explicit. (I won't mention the specific line here, but you can check out a particular line from 'I'm Back' and on Rap God to see what he did). The line he pays tribute to on 'I'm Back' is "I take 7 MCs, stand 'em in line, add 7 more brothers who think they can rhyme." You can look up the rest of the lyrics to see how he did it.
Will the real Beth Roars, please stand up, please stand up. The harpsichord sound used by Ray Manzarek of the Doors on Light My Fire.
First rap I ever memorised, one of my few party tricks
loveed this vid. good context
Getting down to brass tacks please do Rap God
So glad I watched an ad to find out this was a "premiere". My fault for not noticing first.
My Thoughts Exactly!!! 🤣😂😂
Adblock Plus... I'm not even sure how people bother with TH-cam without it
Se escuchó muy bien tú reacción bien Beth 👏👏🍀🍀 mi H. Prrj ❤💜
TY, a lot more history on this song
Never noticed the slide from the fourth to fifth note of the flute sample until you mentioned it sounding wonky. 😄
He's been listed by some of the heavyweight lyricist of all time, people like Tom Waits and Elvis Costello, as absolutely brilliant and have his albums in their homes and listen to them. Eminem does what the best writers and musicians have been doing for 60+ years, but also in new ways. How he can bend words by stressing or destressing syllables, or just totally changing the word because he knows you're smart and you'll get it anyway. That's what makes him so much better than most people in his genre. It's not because he's white, it's because you can either hear or just read what he is saying and it's brilliant.
Great video!
Wooow this is my fav video for now, thanks a lot Beth!! Hope you could react to more eminem songs and his voice styles, i can give some suggestions if you want!
Bad Guy, Haillie song, legacy, stronger than i was, framed.
Differents years and voice style! Thanks again❤
You should react to Relapse, he changes his voice and does some interesting accents to make words rhyme, Deja Vu, My Mom, and Same Song and Dance are my favorite
What?! Someone who gives good reactions and actually explains what’s going on 😳
This is amazing
I love how em just said fuck it! I'm gonna just do wtf ever I want to!
And break shit! And until he got called out! He just had fun! Than rappers were like no unacceptable that isnt rap and than he destroys them!
You should react to big enough song. Very good vocals are there.
I just loved this video to me eminem its the best artist musician since ever
thank you Beth to bring us
Em's "mocking" voices are one of my favorite things about his music!
His speech phonetics are kinetic
I really want to see a reaction to the Teskey brothers, any song but definitely "rain" on the colours show would be a good first. Hes amazing ❤
On Jimmy Iovine, Bruce Springsteen mentions him in his song "Ain't Good Enough for You":
I tried to change, I got a job in sales
I bought a shirt uptown in Bloomingdales
And, babe, I tried to make the latest scene
Hitting cool just like Jimmy Iovine
The way he uses his voice is called cadence in the rap community
Eminem's vocal shifts have always been fascinating. He makes distinct voices have entire conversations in a couple lines. The way the characters get injected into each other's lines is crazy.
[[Eminem]]
Y'all act like you've never seen a white person before ... It's the return of the
[[Someone else reacting to Eminem lyrics]]
Aw wait, no way, you're kidding, he didn't just say what I think he did, did he?
[[> the quoted reaction is verbally and vocally used to name the reaction
90`s and 2000`s were the most beautiful time that ever happened to hip-hop. Eminem, Jay-Z, Nas, Wu-Tang Clan, Redman, Fat Joe, 50 Cent, Busta Rhymes, Missy Elliot, Ludacris, Mobb Deep, Lil Wayne, Snoop Dogg, Tech N9ne... Oh my God I miss those times soooo much...
80s was better,but that's my way of saying I'm old!😂
that thing about changing your voice everytime, kendrick lamar does that flawlessly a lot too
Dear God, this breakdown is a work of art.
Thank you!!
The ultimate irony of this is there is no other slim shady...not even close. The man has a 3 decade career
It is also important to note Em had a highervoice in 2000 than in 2013 when that interview on this video was conducted. Check some his videos from 99-00 he sounds different
It was a character
There's a track Eminem does with Busta Rhymes called " Calm Down " where he mentions " who raps nasally ". Worth a look if you're up for it 😊
You should try Kaizer's Orchestra. They are a Norwegian band but are quite impressive
You NEED to react to Yamê- Bécane Colors studio.
Edit: I find it HILARIOUS how mortified you are with his lyrics 😂
Marshall is an absolute genius with words. I love D12 too. What's so great about Marshall's albums is each has a different character they're about. It's like what Meatloaf would do. It's funny to hear how many rapper are still complaining about Marshall. My thing is....do better then.
His voice was also just a lot more nasal when he was younger. His rapping voice got deeper and more gravelly as he got older. Would be honestly interesting to see you compare the younger nasally voice to the older grittier voice.
I miss Slim Shady. Im not a fan of his newer stuff but he was like our Elvis or Beatles for people my age.
Love this. I'm an Eminem fan, and an (admittedly poor) classical musician haha. Nice to see that breakdown of the harpsichord and bass. Thank you!
Great reaction! I really like all the background info, thanks. One thing though: the Beastie Boys have been putting humor into hiphop ever since the late 80s. Sooooo...
Ahh... '21 Jump Street' Schmidt n Jenko! 😂
The "flute" sounds like a recorder.
I can't figure out why Marshall never got an endorsement deal from Mars. It's a natural!:)
You never did a take on Freddies time waits for no one, maybe his finest moment.
I'm a big fan of Eminem's aggressive records and voice inflections.
Well, there's a Slim Shady in all of us
I'm not a big fan of rap, but I'm definite about Eminem: he's a phenomenon in music.
