This video is like a time capsule of everything going on at that time. From the real world reality show, bin laden, the skit with him and his mom in a talk show this was just pure entertainment.

"embarrassed that their parents still listen to Elvis." What he means is that Elvis used to be considered controversial, and the people who listened to it at the time were rebellious youths. But to the early 2000's rebellious youths, there's nothing controversial about Elvis anymore. It's just something their parents listen to. So they're waiting for a new rebel to shock the system and push the envelope further. Enter Eminem.

The whole album “The Eminem Show” is designed as if each song is an episode into his life

I love that Em puts so much effort into his music videos. You can tell he's having so much fun with it all and isn't afraid to be goofy to get laughs

Shit, the things u said about him at the end of this vid.. Pure respect 👏🏻 Ur reaction vids are one of the greatest reaction content I know. Humble greetings from Finland and let us enjoy more of ur reactions!! 🍻

Em is a lyrical genius. I am always in awe of the way he puts it all together.

I love that the guy playing young Em in the talk show segment (based on the Sally Jessy Raphael Show, if you remember) is actually his little brother Nathan, while Em is there next to him, dressed as their mother! It's hilarious!

I was a preteen when this song came out, which really was my start of the eminem journey. It's the song that got it all started and The Eminem Show will always be my favorite because it's one I listened to everyday and knew every word... still know most 😆 it's just so special to me in a crazy way ❤ Love the reaction, as always!!!

Breaking Bad is the greatest show all time. Acting, story, production. Perfect. I AM THE ONE WHO KNOCKS

Thanks dude,please more Eminem! The people have spoken,there is over 300 Eminem songs worth reacting to,so far

I've listened to this song SOOOO many times throughout my life of 28 years an I never once until you said it put together the "nanananana" with the batman theme until now... you blew my mind with that one lmao

I remember when this was popular back in the day. My sister is older than me and she would always have on MTV. Even being a little boy this video has never left my mind.

Hi! I’m not sure how familiar you are with the timeline of the different stages and albums of Em’s career and I thought that it could be useful to check the release year of a certain song before reacting to it, that could be beneficial. This idea came to me when you asked why people would rather see Slim than Marshall, well during this stage of Em Slim was probably the biggest reason why Em was so dominant because the idea of a potty mouth and brutally honest alter ego was so ground breaking. So I decided to do a quick recap if you’re interested: The Slim Shady LP, 1999 The Marshall Mathers LP, 2000 (Stan, The Way I Am) The Eminem Show, 2002 (Without Me, Til I Collapse, My Dad’s Gone Crazy) This is widely considered as the golden age of Eminem. Bleached hair and the introduction of Slim Shady (ofc he had more MM styled songs too) made him by far the most dominant rapper in the world, possibly ever according to many. People call his three album ”threepeat” something no rapper has ever done, put out 3 back to back albums at this high level. At this point Slim was an alter ego which symbolized Em’s crazy humor, violent thoughts and someone who had no filter of what he’s saying. Encore, 2004 (Mockingbird, Like Toy Soldiers) this is where things started to change and the Slim Shady persona started to get out of hand. During 2002, when Em was writing and recording The Eminem Show and shooting 8 mile, his days were so crammed that he started taking sleeping medication. During 2003-2005 Em started getting more and more into rap beefs which started turning violent and his drug addiction got out of hands. Encore has some amazing songs but also songs that were not up to standard as Em was on heavy drugs while making most of the songs according to himself. This was the ending point of the first chapter of Em, when he announced his hiatus to check himself into rehab ad almost died from overdose. Relapse, 2009. (Deja Vu, Beautiful) This was the second coming of Em, where the album name was not about Em relapsing into drugs but relapsing into making rap again. He returned without the blonde hair and started a new chapter. This album was about the former king of rap returning to the game to recover his crown after his absence. Recovery, 2010 (Love The Way You Lie, Not Afraid) this album was kinda inspired by his past hardships and had motivation as a running theme on the album The Marshall Mathers LP 2, 2013 (Rap God, Bad Guy) during this era Em dyed his hair blonde again and ”returned back to basics” and made a sequel to the MMLP which is still considered widely as his best album. For example the second part of Stan. Revival, 2017 (Walk on Water, Castle, Arose) during this album Em wanted to show his mature side and vulnerability, showing his change and thus making more emotional and softer songs. This album got bad ratings and reviews as people only expect crazy bars and dissing from Em, which is ironic considering before this album people complained about how he should mature his content as he’s not in his 20’s anymore. Kamikaze, 2018 (Not Alike) this was a follow up to the reception his previous album got. Em decided to wake Slim Shady up from his slumber and long absence to just go full mayhem and rip apart critics, other rappers who had taken shots at him (MGK for example) and provided some insane technical abilities. Em kinda learned to utilize Slim without the negative aspects like alcohol and drugs. Music to be Murdered By, 2020 (Godzilla, Alfred’s Theme, Gnat) Em’s latest album inspired by Alfred Hitchcock. It has a running theme of murder as well as his thoughts about how people don’t appreciate longevity and artists who stay at the top for 20 years like himself or Jay Z and are quick to push the new upcoming darlings, but Em still outclasses 95% of the rappers even if he is almost 50 years old and ”not in his prime” anymore as people claim. Hope this recap helps out a bit and sorry for the typos

Great reaction! This video is so fun to watch. Love from Poland

This has always been one of my favourite music videos of all time. It’s brilliant. Love your reactions!

Been waiting on this one for a bit, great reaction 😭

First! keep up the good work :)

Definitely a nostalgic time this video brings to me I remember when it premiered on MTV.

I truly think em would be a hell of a movie maker! Like if he made movies instead of music, don’t get me wrong I’m glad he went with music, but damn we’d have killer movies!

Glad to see you're still keeping tabs on Em, would love to see you react to a UK artist called Robbie Williams, especially his "Angels, Live at Knebworth" video. Sending best wishes and all the best for 2023 from UK.

I love how your reaction are so pure. You did miss a ton but i just love watching your reaction so real please keep it up

I really enjoy watching your em reactions. Really enjoyed this one ❤

Btw , BREAKING BAD is absolutely 100% the greatest show ever and ever will be ... 👍👍👍👍😊😊😊✌️✌️✌️

Larry didn't even hear the uncut version and still picked up the bars lmao

Yaay who doesnt love this one 💝💃💃 thanks for this one and points to your multitasking skills 😅❤️

man i love that you love classic eminem. i think you'd really enjoy the big hits from classic lil wayne and kendrick lamar. there's a lot of gold from that era

Hahaha glad you got to this one! 💙

Eminem is the greatest of all time

It's really cool to watch your reacts of both serious and funny kind of songs, love your takes on it, keep it up! I'd really like to see you reacting to Rammstein - Deutschland, one of the most brilliant music videos I've ever seen, basically a country's history in one video, kinda heavy though.

Breaking Bad is the greatest show ever. That’s Eminem’s brother in the talk show skit.

That talk show was Sally Jessie Raphael lol when he's on the water he looks like Gilligan...he is an incredible artist! So talented!

Thanks for the shout out!! Happy you enjoyed it!

Love this one!

Em's the 🐐 !

I really like ur reaction on evry em's song!🙏🥰 Thats why i subed to ur channel😊

eminem-evil twin,, Love your reactions 👍

Love your videos keep it up much love and God bless

I love watching you react to Eminem. I think I have been watching for most of your journey but I’m curious to know what song you reacted to first. Hope you and your family have a wonderful New Year 😊

Another great video! Wondering if you need any ideas for more reactions? The Eminem vein is certainly one that runs deep as I’m sure you’ve discovered but there’s so much more too! Maybe some 50 cent or Dr Dre would be the next logical move as they’re both heavily tied to Eminem so you’d pick up some references there. But there’s also the likes of Jay-Z, Lil Wayne, Kendrick Lamar, 2Pac, Biggie, Nas, Snoop, NWA, Mobb Deep, Wu Tang clan and many more. Love seeing someone discover these things for the first time. Great work!

First of all a happy new year to you 🎉, secondly thank you for this reaction, I’ve been waiting to see if you react to this. 👍👍👍

I'm here for it!

This song was my introduction to Eminem in my childhood 😂😂

Thank you for the shoutout! Have been eagerly waiting for this one🤩

Love the reaction as always 🔥👏 please do " guts over fear" next and also chris webby " our planet "

Yo do Cinderella man such a workout song love the content!!!!

Great reaction Chris

I start to listen to Eminem after watching your videos. I was never interested before because my English is not perfect and so hard to understand the lyrics. Wow. I start to like a new genre and it is so fun. I also request you to make another review for "We Made You", please. It is very different from his other songs and has no cursing in it.

The English language is his playground! Literally!🔥❤️🐐

I did the same thing when first rewatching this online (I used to see it on MTV before I spoke enough English to understand any of it) - pause, rewind, read all the comic captions... This video needs about 3 watches to even start to get it all - once for lyrics, once for images, once for comic captions :D

best song ever!

You should have double the subs Larry. Another great one. Keep grinding brother!

Love it Chris ❤️🙌🙌. And he’s right, the world would be SO empty without Shady / Eminem / Marshall 😎

A Great Rap from Em. is *Cold Wind Blows* No jokes just a good rap Yes ! Worth listening to🔥🙏🏻👍🏼✌🏼

Eminem is one of my biggest musical inspirations. I want to make songs as good as his one day. I’m a rapper too. :)

An absolute classic 🇺🇸

This is my mom's favorite song for me to perform when I go out to karaoke with her!

This was an awesome reaction Larry! I love how you payed attention to the music video a lot. Please react to Yellow Brick Road by Eminem thanks.

Thanks for the shout out for the recommendation! 😁 It feels like it was so long ago…I’m super-impressed that you saved the info. LOL. Anyway…thanks for this reaction! For me, it’s an Em classic that I just never get tired of. The content and music video are so comedic and entertaining that it’s easy to overlook how skillful the writing (including, but not limited to, rhyme scheme) really is here. This was a favorite song of mine back in my high school days, but I appreciate it much more now.

Has anyone recommended My Band with Em & D12? The bounciness of Without Me reminded me of that era

Can't wait till you get into some of eminem diss tracks! Also if you look up the song with uncensored at the end you will find the right version

Please do something from his first released album Infinite. Its from the 90s, and it was before he really made it. Its such a unique side of his music that he has never really tapped into again. Its like Eminem, before slim shady was born.

FYI , and . (< and >) is frame by frame and forward arrow and back arrow are five seconds forward or backward (along with some other shortcuts on KZfaq; VLC media player (open source) has even more (like [ and ] for speeding up, etc.). I hope that helps a bit as a tool if you missed it if you missed something. And like I said as another KZfaq name on here, the Dr Dre thing is just a play on his first single (so it's just an "inside joke" type of thing, where fans are thinking Dre will say another thing about Slim, but he's doing a bait and switch). This song actually, which also prompted Mr. Mathers to write "The Way I Am," was written in response to a request by Jimmy Iovine from Interscope to have something lighter (much like "My Name Is", despite the lyrical content of both (although "My Name Is" doesn't even have the full "Banned" version on the Explicit album; the censorship on his next explicit album, _The Marshall Mathers LP_ , was even more apparent because they simply removed "kids" and "Columbine" instead of making him change the (core) lyrical phrases. He references this on "Rap God," another one you've reacted to, where he says the same line without censorship and then says, "Let's see if I can get away with it now that I'm not as big as I once was [...]") to introduce the record. Funny enough (I know you reacted to, "The Way I Am"), even though he says on the immediately aforementioned song, "I'm not going to be able to top a 'My Name Is'," this song did in fact do that by all quantitative measures and still, to this day, teenagers know the hook (I saw multiple reactions of high schoolers listening to 2000s hip hop, in which most of the songs they did not know, but, this one they (almost? There's always editing and some were compilations) all knew and most became excited & started singing the chorus).

My band by D12 (group with eminem) is another great fun song, also insane by eminem is a crazy one, bit dark but yeah, not fun but dark that one, there is a lyrics video with yellow background which isn’t censored

The best line for fun ever from Eminem is in "Just Like Me". The best entire song for the most surprising hilarity from Eminem is "The Kids".

When you're drunk, this is so fun to just watch the video and sing along. Cheers!

#1 show

React to “Insane” by Eminem, Truly a piece of art. Based on his addiction.

The alter ego slim shady is my favourite part about eminem, makes me laugh all the time

Imho. The Eminem Show, the album this and Sing for the Moment and Til I Collapse are on, is his absolutely best album to date. There's a reason it's sold close to 12 million copies

Slick Rick , song hey young world

My wife and I just finished re-watching Breaking Bad today! Yeah, science!

YES BEST SHOW EVER!!!!!.....YOU FINISHED BETTER CALL SAUL TOO RIGHT??!?!?!

Awesome reactions bud, always very authentic and as in awe of eminems brilliance/genius as every Stan and objective observer out there. Please do his MTBMB, Kamikaze, shady XV, mmlp2 and bad meets evil albums tunes.. he's evolved so much and know you'd appreciate how much more technical and excellent his penmanship and delivery is.. look forward to more great reactions mate.

Thank you for another great reaction. This is one of my favorites. Would you please react to the phenomenal video by Eminem. PLEASE!!!

Love the reaction man..the Elvis reference is due to the fact alot of ppl call eminem the Elvis of rap or used to..cause he's a white guy who's amazing at a predominant black art craft like Elvis in a way..and yes BREAKING BAD was the best!!!! One of my fav shows EVER! I watched it 3 times lol I been trying to send u the link to the eminem song "phenomenal " but still won't let me..he made a mini movie music video for it with real actors..its over 7 minutes long..its a MUST SEE..u will love it

Masterpiece

You gotta check out We Made You by Em sometime it's another fun one!

slim makes you laugh em makes you think marshall makes you cry

Also do the Eminem song "THE KIDS". It was the replacement song for "Kim" on the clean version of the album.

Haha. You’re my favorite reaction channel! 😅

I would really love it if you reacted to Otherside by Macklemore I’ve always loved it and it always got me very emotional. Also his song Wings is amazing too!

Hurt - Witt Lowry. Very deep song

Slim is the class clown, triumph is the sex pest, marshal mathers just vents his pain, eminem is the loving father and community minded entrepreneur.

To be fair, this was one of the biggest of his songs after My Name Is. You should do Forgot About Dre and Business if you haven't. Will try to link later.

Finally. Years passed and i still wonder how Em rhyme the lyrics "Fix your bent antenna tune it in and then I'm gonna Enter in" with "da-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na".

11:09 and that’s why I love em’s so much I just haven’t been able to physically put it into words or explain it like you. I’m glad you understand. Thought 💭 what if the first Eminem song you listen to was this one, what would your opinion be on the type of artist he is. Recommend just loose it -Eminem

Breaking Bad and The Wire are my favourite shows by a distance.

He always has someone he’s taking shots at. At the talk show scene, where he says “I just settled all my lawsuits, F… you Debbie!!!” Was a shot at his mom at the time she filed a lawsuit against Em, and even made a diss track. The techno guru is Moby. Who dissed him at the Grammys in 2001. Just said that he’s good at what he does, very clever, but he’s a homophobe, etc….

Dre is driving an actual Lambo this time, lol 😆 Loved the reaction 🙂

Listen to the song first and then go back and read the comic strip lol

Since you like going down new music rabbitholes. Check out Nightwish. Would love to see you react to them.

The Elvis thing is because EM was and sometimes still is today compared to Elvis who stole black music ripping off songs from black artists, even going as far as getting his dance from Chuck Berry. They were accusing EM of doing the same, but he has never been that way.

no way was just bing watching 3 videos to see a new one right after :O

Amazing!! I love this song! Im thinking of starting a reaction channel soon

You have to listen to Greatest-Eminem YOU HAVE TOOO

Love to see you do NF “Nate” and “Change”

He says.... The kids are feeling like prisoners and helpless.. They're embarrassed that they're parents listen to old music and there's nothing good to listen until he's come along and yells bitch... He's bringing the youthful anarchy to the system and giving the helpless prisoners that are the children (or how they feel 🙄) a voice.. It's not a diss/throwaway comment regarding Elvis but actually a poetic spin on the truth of his career.. Take a another listen.. And please.., I do not in any way mean that as a condescending comment.. Only Em right ... 🤷🏼‍♂️❤️

We Made You is another fun video, though I personally like this song better

You should react to eminem's we made you and guilty conscience As well as south park Eric cartman best moments

Sir I’d recommend a song called only good can judge me - 2pac STORYTIME!!!😂 I’d love to see your reaction. Keep up the amazing videos your my favourite reactor couldn’t wait for this video i already know I’m going to love it Cheers Chris.
