If they went back to 2002 to understand all that was happening to get the full cultural impact this video had they’d REALLY be mindblown

couldn't agree more; half the fun of the video is passing over them LOL not even Bin Laden at the end??? man that's weird LOL

They don't get it . . . Like they havnt heard this track . . . I smell BS

Everyone perceives things differently I don’t really understand what you’re all talking about.

Lol true

Also why in christ would you guys listen to the edited version

@@CaseyQ Also why in the christ do you give a shit

A++

Conversely, the other dude in the hat doesn’t know shit about shit 🤣. They’re like complete opposites. Brandon and Bizzaro Brandon.

Facts lol

Exactly!!! 💯

Im 52 and i love him since he came out! These guys been under a rock!

Well I’m only in my 50’s and I thought it was M and M 😂😂😂😂😂😂

I used to watch the old Batman and Robin in Brazil listening to it dubbed in Portuguese so this whole video is WOW!!!

I mean, man sung it at the beginning

It’s possible they’re younger the rest of us are just getting old

@@KingdomHeart556 They don’t look that young lmao, I’m 23 and have been listening to Eminem songs since I can remember. He was always on the radio, tv and then KZfaq. Then 8mile and D12 you’d literally have to be living under a rock not to have heard of Eminem (I’m saying the lads in the vid are faking it)

Bro I literally think they are just fooling people at this point.... I mean there is no way they've never listened to EM before

This comment made me giggle. Thank you.

Im triggered 😂

oh my god is this how it feels to be old?? haha

Seriously!

And I love that at all his concerts the crowd screams it now. He can't sing it anymore because she sued him, so he agreed to stop saying it, but that doesn't mean WE can't!

@@princessakhana L mom bruh

My names Debbie i turn it up high in my car when it's played

If u don't know that ur not a true fan

True! Debbie sued her own son! What a 💩mom!

This is so true. There really was like, a holding of breath if Eminem was mentioned. Like, can we play this at a school dance? Will parents come with pitchforks? Thank God my brother is 8 years older and had already broken my parents with the rap world 😂

100th like

I was too young to get the references in this video though I heard it so many times.

Now it's Trump 😂 all the snowflakes get hot and melt, including Eminem! 🙄

100%. I was a Christian teenager who didn't listen to him, but knew of him and 8 Mile and Lose Yourself and actually a lot of his songs without knowing it. There was all this stuff about banning him/censoring him and Congress got involved and while I wouldnt listen to his music cuz of swears and content, we knew it was important to not let the Government decide what could and could not be allowed artistically. I believe it was around that time that the warning for explicit language and warn parents labels would be put on album covers. Course, that only made teens want it more. I do appreciate it now and the E label for songs on Pandora so I know what not to play for my kiddo. Anyway, once I was a grown up with my own kid I started listening to Em and enjoy much of his music and respect him for all he's done. Oh, the other things was Em did not cave to the pressure and negative press (and there was lots), he would double down and write things about ppl in his next song (thats why Dick Cheney is mentioned in this one.) I respect him for staying true to his beliefs.

Compared to rap now he is

My English teacher was obsessed with him in 2003.

You’re right! They already are!!

😂😂

Try Aesop Rock😊

Good catch 💪🏼 man’s a genius

I don't know how he could have made it any clearer than picking up his own CD and literally POINTING at the parental advisory! Like "Hey! Idiots! This music is not for kids, so why are you letting them listen to it"?! It always makes me laugh how stupid people are - if parents hadn't made such a huge deal out of Eminem's music would he have been as popular?

I bought my son Eminem’s CDs when he was about 13 or 14. There are bigger things to worry about in the world than swearing/cursing! Eminem is an urban poet and deserves respect for his talent. My son is now in his mid thirties. Listening to Eminem did NOT turn him into a bad person!! 😊

No actually in case you don't remember when this album came out there was a massive controversy with stores like Walmart and Target and them being required to put this advisory on their albums. It actually got to a point where Walmart stopped selling uncensored music to where all you can get were censored albums

@@MsDawnKeyballs And a lot of it was prompted by Lynne Cheney testifying in congress that he wanted to rape and murder women. That's the whole reason she got the big diss in 2002. Ten years earlier and it was Tipper Gore doing the same stunt "for the children" with different music groups (including Anthrax). But in the moment when Eminem hit the scene, it was Lynne Cheney trying to dunk on him in Congress by testifying that he was obscene. THAT, combined with her husband's known war-mongering history, is what lead to the diss of both of them in the song/video. Dick Cheney had a history of heart attacks, so that's where the whole cables and battery thing came in.

bingo. he basically put pop culture in the early 2000s on trial.

@@nope9698 Moby getting stomped by obie trice line cracks me up (then obie pops his head up to sing along with the line about techno after)

At least theyre trying

@@DaftFader The Elvis line though

Thats the best part about eminems music, there is so much to dissect that you can be hearing it for the 1000 time and you go like "oh shit, so thats what he meant"

I was looking for this comment! It's important history for those who never knew why Prince did what he did with the name change.

Yep. That's the GOAT. Dude is off the charts😉

Agreed‼

We get it y’all love when Black people react to this Guy

Made the same comparison on one of their other videos the other day and to quote (I think dude in the durag) the guy on the right is the "smartest dumb dude" in a no-hate way.

Left guy is the annoying.

So there is more of us, nice analisys

I just noticed how he licked the shit Elvis took... That's hilarious

It also has subliminals xD

Eminem has no many songs where you could catch something new every time.

You gotta go thru all his songs!

React to: 1. TILL I COLLAPSE 2. TOY SOLDIER 3. LIKE TOY SOLDIER 4. GO TO SLEEP 5. LOOSE YOURSELF

Absolutely right there with ya! And how many people watching this will "get" why Robin is climbing the side of the building the way he is?! I love all the references!

Me 63yr old grandma too. Listened with my kid and my grandkids. Who are all adults. I had some fun there since I found out I would be a grandma at only 37. Wasn't grown myself lol😉🤘🏼

Shit I'm 49 and remember like it was yesterday when all the hype of this sick new rapper that is white and can battle rap hard. Then it all hit the airwaves like little by little almost Testing people's reactions to see if he is too much or or what lol

Same !

Deja vu defo the best and im a teenager💯

Em isnt poetry LMFAOOOO

He enunciates necessarily not perfectly otherwise not everything would rhyme…

@@princedame9534 I mean feel however you want but rapping is literally poems with music

Bruh lmao no

@@princedame9534 rap is lyrical poetry with a beat and rhythm making it a form of music lol. What else would you call it?

Glad you were able to convert her! Luckily mine was the complete opposite, she introduced me to him 😂

lol

My mom listened to Every album that I wanted before she would let me listen to it. She listened Em more than I did. Finally she started buying her own cd's. Mom is in her 60s still listening. She loves Rap God.

​@@plizmaticpierceSame bruhh! I love em so much

That's amazing, I love that your mother listens to Eminem.

Leave that man alone and allow him to learn. He is bettering himself with every video. Stop being a hater

The first verse to this song is perfection.

That osama thing is still one of the funniest things ever after 20 years

@@Kris-bx5qj regarding albums , I would agree, I just hope they don't attempt to react to Rap God or Godzilla.

Not as good not even close

@@Matt6438True

Don't forget big L he'll obliderate him

That's true.

@@kbl247 hahahaha (backround singers) "In the ghettttooooooo"!

I guess that's why black people never hated him just hated how nobody took the time to really hear what he was saying

@@kbl247 ...Elvis's people would spy on the local singers. Almost all of Elvis's songs were plagerized from these motown clubs.

Yeah the racist side of ripping off black artists came from the record execs, not Elvis himself. And the proof is that they completely ripped off Elvis too, he went broke after being the Eminem of his time

“Elvis Presley, the only white boy with as much soul as black artists.” -Muhammad Ali

I’d like to add BB King said this in an interview in 2010 about Elvis “Music is owned by the whole universe. It isn't exclusive to the black man or the white man or any other color. It shared in and by our souls'.”

Wow, I didn't know that. Awesome.

forreal. Too many people try to shit on him and pretend he was just stealing music from black people. Nah he was singing music the way he heard it his whole life growing up, just like anyone else. Most of them are just kinda racist towards white people and gotta have an excuse. Not his fault he grew up around alot of black people and didn't view them differently and ended up picking up some stuff.

You gotta find his demos. They're out there, I used to have all of them. They're absolutely insane, and I mean like he raps like a crazy person. But they're fire.

you made me emotional 😔

Plenty of better rappers imo but yeah he's a goat.

​@@morocuda2090k, you need to name better rappers 😂 not on par, but better

@@morocuda2090nah. Who i would like to know. Anyone who is captivating like Eminem please let me know

I'm 40 and grew up listening to him... He was the biggest rapper around. He was the only white rapper around. Then a few years later... well everyone who's white tries to be a rapper. And... That was Osama Bin Laden, not Saddam

You really accurately described my thoughts on how big Em came to be. Man to this day the Eminem Show is my favourite album ever. Every single track on that album is elite work.

You are 100% correct. Not even drake is in his peak would have been able to do the sales eminem did with mmlp and the eminem show. Eminem is the biggest rapper of all time

Eminem nearly did 1.8 million first week with MMLP and that was only in the US. I'm from Australia and he was absolutely the biggest thing ever over here and holds multiple records still to this day for album sales. The Eminem Show was monstrous when Without Me came on the radio as th lead single and then Cleanin Out My Closet and the album dropped and Business was released as a single along with superman and sing for the moment. The combination of mmlp rolling into the 8 mile soundtrack and movie release same year as the eminem show eminem was legitimately as big as the Beatles.

Yeah it's really amazing how there are some people who don't really grasp how utterly massive he was.

I blame the parents.

I’m mind blown by the fact they didn’t know who osama bin laden is. Goddamn, guys.

@@Nope2479 facts 😂

No doubt, I love how he disses three different groups of people right off the bat on the third verse

It was absolute lyrical genius. He dissed Fred Durst (Limp Bizkit), Chris Kirkpatrick (NSYNC), and Moby so flawlessly that people who don't know anything about the various beefs have no clue what's going on.

i've always thought the same thing. this whole song is one of his best in terms of using different flows and lyrical creativity

@@cshepard09 He even threw in that Osama Bin Ladin caricature at the end, and people who weren't at least age 6 have no clue what that was. "Why is that dude in cammo waving a white flag and doing the "running man"?"

They’ve 100% heard these songs before, no doubt.😂 It’s just a bunch of fake reactions, but I think they’ve found out that the earnings in this “fake reactions” type of buisness is too good…

It’s just not possible 🤦🏻‍♀️😂

Didn't they say that they knew this song, but haven't seen the video only. At the beginning, if I'm not wrong. Or am I dumb?

All these reaction videos are fake af

Theyre lying for content. The fact that they think people will actually believe that is insane

Sho’ Ya Right!😅

Yeah I was impressed they all had their own unique bob style .. it really got me grooving to it too (more so than I already was haha)

You can ovulate on your period (and can get pregnant on your period). But it’s also because he’s saying he’s back and flowing haha

@@laurajaynenolan2149 you’re a woman (presumably) and you think you ovulate on your period? It *can* happen if the cycle is all over the place but as a general rule, they’re about two weeks apart. Lord have mercy 😬

@@kenyonsgirl415 right. It's definitely not at the same time but like Ive seen we actually only have one normal week out of the month.

@@kenyonsgirl415 I did reply before but I can’t see it now. It’s very unlikely but it isn’t impossible. You can get pregnant on your period. Day 1 of your period is day 1 of your cycle and as each day passes, you are more likely to conceive. It also doesn’t have to be all over the place as you put it, (obviously most people have a 28-30 day cycle but some people have a longer or shorter cycle that still runs like clockwork) it’s more likely to happen when you’re on certain methods of birth control, other hormonal changes can have an affect as well including high stress or even an irregular sleep schedule. You’d be surprised how many times patients have said they couldn’t be pregnant because the only time they didn’t use protection was on their period.

I came here to ask who was gonna tell the guys......

💯

It's the difference between "appropriation and appreciation" all boiled down to appropriation, he just happened to become wildly famous because of it. To this day people say he "stole it from the Blacks". Some people detest truth.

Yup. His management wanted to "sanitize" black music for the masses, but Elvis loved southern gospel, spirituals, etc. Hard now to understand how progressive and influential those DJs and studios like Muscle Shoals were in bringing black artists to white audiences. Since Motown, Soul Train, etc., if a white artist wanted to be taken seriously in soul or R&B, they had to be insanely talented. Eminem is a modern example.

Bingo. I'm getting tired of the non stop Elvis hate from every Em reactor. People just don't know history apparently

@@el34glo59 💯

@JenMc I agree with you 100. I’ve loved Eminem’s music since day one and was hooked instantly. Eminem is the Goat and I don’t think we will hear another artist come close to Eminem with his lyricist, word play, bars, rhyme schemes, story telling, etc…. I love his brutal honesty and not afraid to go after celebs whether it’s a pop star or politician. He says what’s on his mind. I respect his love for Hailie and would destroy anyone that says anything about her, such as MGK or how he references her in his songs, like When I’m Gone and Mockingbird. Do you have a top 5 Eminem song list? Keep in touch.

@JenMc did you see the dark skin saviors, Asia and BJ’s, Life with Recklezz, and Tay and Steph’s reaction channels? They are all fire and I like they spend time breaking down Eminem’s bars. If you haven’t I would recommend checking out one of their Eminem reactions. Do you have favorite reactors? I hope you enjoyed the weekend and have a beautiful week! Stay in touch. Take care

@JenMc if you want to talk away from this platform just let me know.

Young’ns can’t.

very true. my girls in their late 20s/early 30s now and this was all played back in the day with the comedy to as you say, to tone down the controversial lyrics.

@@SS_DT yah my bad i think Eminem is gonna rap until he dies but i wonder sence rappers are taking shots at him again when dre dies i think it's gonna be all out war for who wants to be number one

It’s a 60 minutes episode.

I've seen other rappers to the same in more recent years. Kanye West does it, and I've heard T.I. do it as well. Maybe it became and established trend I guess

He Rhymed Orange. The 'unrhymable' word Orange door hinge. Done!

It's the interview where he complains about people saying there's no word that rhymes with orange (then does a whole phrases full of words he made rhyme with it by moulding his annunciation of the words as well as combining two or more shorter syllable words). You can probably find it by searching on YT for "M&M rhyme orange" or some combination of them words.

This is no cap

Yes!!!!!

Nah, it was ok

Fire song 💯💯

"tell em if they want it. They come get that, I swear on my city it just wont last"

Yeah Busta Rhymes and the shiny suits and chit.

If a rapper doesn't write their own lyrics then they literally have no talent whatsoever. If they were singers not writing their own stuff, that's different bc singing itself is a talent. But if you're rapping someone else's lyrics then that's like lipsinging someone's song because raping is basically just talking poetry to a beat. Anyone can do that. The lyrics are the talent. If the rapper ain't writing their own stuff then they're trash. Point blank, period.

True but eminem has writing credit on this song with 4 other people ..Jeff Bass etc. A lot of his songs are co written.

I think Eminem and 2pac if he was still alive would be the greatest rappers of all time. 2pac was great at telling stories and making points that made people think about shit that really matters it's almost like when 2pac died Eminem took his place in a way. love your comment by the way. happiness and luck to you. have a good life piece out ✌

Yup, highschool time... Having it recorded on tape to play on walkman, or burned on cd, to play on discman... No bluetooth headphones like today, but struggling with intertwined wires, batteries that last short... Those where the times. 😊

I had to look up when this video came out because I remember it so clearly, the TRL days.

Hmmm He also grew up in a very poor neighborhood with a lot of black peope. After MLK's death, he didn't wanted to play any Southern state and he sang a tribute to him on live TV. His appreciation for black music was second to none. Its the colonel who was a racist piece of shit! Controlling his career... Eminem also comes from that same culture.

He actually did

Honestly, I don't see the big hype about Elvis...
