You are very perceptive and correct about Eminem's dark sense of humor. Slim Shady is an outlet for that darkness I think. But my take is Em was an emotionally tortured individual by life and family problems at this time that fed a major drug addiction that eventually nearly killed him. He's doing much better these days✌

Oh dude just aged 20 years right before our eyes lol welcome go the late 90's 😂

Gotta do the next two albums 🔥 He develops so much more and each album is a classic, different sound.

you seem like a chill dude. glad you enjoyed some of the old classic. giving you a thumbs up✌

I like the ratio of you listening and giving insight/reacting. Its just enough to enjoy seeing you vibe and then hearing you out

You’re so on point my friend great perspective for sure you get it.

Fire 🔥🔥🔥 reaction

Nice reaction! This is Em's 1st full length album. People actually picketed SLIM SHADY back then because of his lyrical content. But just like the he said, "I just don't give a F!" was his mantra. Hope U check out THE MARSHAL MATHERS LP & THE EMINEM SHOW (both are considered classics). THE EMINEM SHOW is one of my personal FAVS. Good Luck & Njoy! 😎👍

Dr dre has said he gave Eminem 100 creativity props to dre for letting em be em

PRE-EDIT: To answer your question about the production, the only ones on here that were Dre produced were My Name Is, Guilty Conscience, and Role Model. Contrary to popular belief it wasn't Dre's production that gave Em his signature sound it was actually Mark & Jeff Bass (aka The Bass Brothers aka FBT Productions) ALL the other songs on this album are Bass Bros prod There's also a really neat concept between The Eminem Show and Encore. I've always found it interesting that despite them having very obviously related covers, nobody talks about these being a double album. The Eminem show starts with the curtains going up as he goes on stage and ends with the "Rub my back" skit, but then the first track on Encore starts with everyone welcoming him back to the stage and chanting his name. Track 9 is a voicemail from Paul talking about a rumour that Eminem has a gun, then a couple tracks later is a hilarious skit where Eminem says "I have an idea for the end of the show, oh and btw no I don't have a gun" and then cocks it on the recording lmao. Then during "Final Thought skit" you hear him getting ready to go on stage while checking that his gun is loaded. At the end of Curtain Call he says goodbye to the crowd but then pulls the gun out shooting multiple members of the audience and then killing himself. This really marks the end of what a lot of people refer to as the "Slim Shady era" or the "Classic Em era" and provides a full circle experience from Slim Shady to Encore. If you want to take the concept even further you could imagine the gap between Encore and Relapse is that he didn't actually die, he was rushed to hospital, relapsed back into drugs and then we have Relapse which is where Slim Shady pretty much fully takes over for the entire album. After that, he finally gets clean and does Recovery which has a very distinct absence of Shady influenced tracks aside from Untitled which is in my opinion the last song he ever did that sounds like it belongs in the "Classic Em Era"

Goat.

JEFF was HERE yayyyyyy 🎉🎉

When this album came out in 99 i was about 13-14 and tbh this was probably my fave version of Slim Shady! fave tracks from the album would be... Guilty Conscience, Brain Damage, Bad Meets Evil, Role Model, Rock Bottom, My Name Is, 97 Bonnie n Clyde.

Such a classic album

30:35 - "heard a knock at the door, must´ve been ron gold" and he looks at his door :D

It's funny you mention Cordae's "My Name Is" remix cuz that's how I discovered Cordae

Before you get too deep into Em you should check out where it began with “Infinite” 🔥 And Between the MMLP and Eminem Show is a treasure trove of diss tracks at JaRule , Benzino (Source magazine), Nick and Mariah, Everlast “Whitey Ford” etc etc ect 😂

His first album was Infinite, before getting signed to Dre.

Stan used the song as a reference to Eminem’s music..cuz he loves Eminem

This is great. This is me in 5th grade when This dropped 😂

I was starting high school when this album drop. My best friend was hearing it on a walkman CD player i heard the song My name is and say this guy is saying all this on a rap song his build different i was listening to Túpac and Biggie but these was lyrics i never heard on any song of Hip Hop music i was laughing on the shook value. It's just to get a reaction to the people who listens and don't like what his rapping about.

Eminem wrote a squeal stan pt2 Called bad guy... he wrote this 13 years later. Please check it out

React to Lazarus new song “Scalpel” produced by Denaun Porter of Shady Records. Just came out, most lyrical song in years!! No Life Shaq just did a reaction, Tech N9ne posted it too! It’s almost 2 million views. 🔥🔥

Best 3 songs rock bottom million dollars and 97 Bonnie and clyde

check out relapse album from eminem ! this i a crazy concept album !!!

The Eminem Show next?

Just don't do relapse The concept of the album is my favorite he embodies everything he spits

I feel really bad that you got all this hate. At the same time why would people want to watch anyone on their phone?

Watching you yawn and scroll your phone is not all that entertaining 😴

Eminem is trash and has always been trash 😂😂😂
