Elton John and Eminem performed ‘Stan’ together at the Grammy’s in 2001. The FCC and the public tried to ‘cancel’ Eminem for his homophobic lyrics, he said the ‘f word’ an awful lot and Elton John stuck up for him. That’s where the career Russian roulette line comes in. They’ve been friends ever since. Elton even had a big part in Eminem staying sober after his overdose. Eminem even gifted Elton John and his partner a diamond encrusted ‘cock ring’.
The line about "dorm room doors of THEIR HINGES" begins the forbidden rhyme scheme of rhyming with "oranges"... "their hinges"...syringes"... "I'm inches"... thats why it sounded like a random mess for a moment.
People used to say you couldn’t rhyme anything with “Oranges” so he made a whole bunch of words and slant words to rhyme with it. There’s an awesome well known interview where the interviewer tells him there’s nothing that rhymes with orange and Em does a lil freestyle on the spot using orange lol
Proof was still alive. Nothing he and Elton are best friends. He called him every other day and helped him get off the pills. Elton had his own demons. They had a lot in common the way they grew up. Love Elton
Back in the days everyone was trying to "cancel" him because of his outlandish lyrics and especially his supposed hatred for the gay community. That's why when he surprised everyone by doing that colab with Elton John it was very risky for him. Keep up it... Loving the reaction.
Not to mention Elton John isn't the first name you think of when you think "rap". So for him too it was risky. Eminem wasn't a safe collar for Elton either.
@@WeirdSmellyMan he never was actually homophobic in his lyrics if the listener understands the context of the song He says the words but if you listen to the message he isn’t being homophobic
I'm giggling every single time I see you vibing your head to Ems track. I'm doing exactly the same thing, lol... but it cracks me up knowing that you were big anti-rap-guy not so long ago. I'm so happy that Em proved Papa Chris wrong 😉 Loved the reaction of course!
I still hum and sing the chorus to this randomly today, after listening to this when it came our 20+ years ago. I am pretty sure I confuse my kids with how random it seems!
You should watch the Elton John interview he did on the graham norton show. He gets asked how his friendship if between himself and marshal and Elton shares a funny story on their friendship
As you did the new album. I think you will like this in order. I like watching it. White American is first. And the beet is the same throughout. Awesome. He produced this all and most stuff himself
What makes me love your channel man is that you really are learning the craft of rap. You’ve learned about Eminem as you’ve kept making videos. Keep up the hard work. The interest keeps me interested my man
It was Elton John who was playing Russian Roulette with his own career coz he teamed up with Em. But Elton didn’t care he liked Ems music and respected him and Elton was one of them who helped Em get clean. It was Em who called Elton and it was Elton who got Em into rehab. They’ve been close ever since.
Thank you for reading my comment and make a video on one of my recommendations. I don't want to be too greedy but Kill You are Criminal are also great. Once again thank you for reading it :)
This is such a great song!!! It was the 2nd song off of The Eminem Show. Just a classic. Also! That is an amazing list of songs!! Highly recommend them all as well! This song also has a very Batman and Robin feel to it 😊
Wow - glad you said it - catchy until that line ‘ good looking and cook and clean?????!!!!!’ Crickey - as they say here in Auckland. Shaking head. Catchy - so funny!!!
The career suicide thing is meant for both him and Elton, because Elton defended Em when he was accused of being homophobic for his lyrics which could be risky for his career and image as a gay man, while it was risky for Em as a hip hop artist to collab with someone like Elton John (a gay man known for ballad songs, not exactly thr usual feature on a hip hop song lol). As others have mentioned, Elton mentioned in an interview that Em gifted him and David (his husband) two diamond cock rings on a velvet cushion for their wedding lol Elton was also a mentor for Em through his journey of sobriety.
The list you've been recommended is really good and you should definitely do those!! But also please react to Kasey chambers cover of lose yourself 🙏 trust me I saw videos of people reacting to it for months and ignored it because I don't usually care about covers but when I finally watched this one, it blew me away. You'll love it. Also would love to see you react to the rock and roll induction (speeches and performance), and to some of Em's interviews!
Andre is Dre (you figured it out yourself right after I posted this lol), and fun fact Elton John was actually Eminem's sponsor for a while when Eminem was in recovery
I’m back from a long break of UA-cam asking for a Russ reaction! I had asked for this a long time ago sad he never did but I still enjoy all your videos man, if you do choose to react, it doesn’t matter what song it is you’ll be pleasantly surprised
@@larryshair holy crap, my face brightened up as soon as I seen this you got it man, let me look around, there’s so many but I think I got just the one
Hey Larry, have you had a chance to check out the teaser of new Tobey song from Eminem and Big Sean? It comes out Tuesday. I'm thinking it will be the last single before the album comes out. So excited!
I don’t know if he is saying possible career suicide for him or Elton or both. Eminem was getting a lot of backlash because of his lyrics people were accusing him of being homophonic. Elton defended him and he also was somewhat of a sober coach when Eminem was trying to get clean. They are still friends 😊
Please do Eminem - White America! Explicit lyric video if you can, the official music video's censored, last I checked. (I used to have a link for an explicit version of the music video, but it's broken now.)
Just started watching your Eminem content. But I am watching from oldest to newest so it will be a little bit before I catch up to your current reactions. Enjoying very much so far.

Just a fair warning the song "Marshall Mathers" from the MMLP is extremely over the top with full homophobic slurs etc i genuinely really dont think you would get any value out of it whatsoever. It's a great song for the diehard fans who know the 90s and 00s backstory and beefs but it gives no value to anyone else i assure you. Cheers for another great reaction with this one!

People say you can’t rhyme orange and em proved you can
Contrarian alert: People are correct
No word in the English language is a perfect rhyme with orange, that’s what they mean

It should be known Elton John is his sobriety sponsor and a close friend of Marshall.
Marshall is not a hatred filled person.
Not to mention Elton John isn't the first name you think of when you think "rap". So for him too it was risky. Eminem wasn't a safe collar for Elton either.
@Cripplified Eminem did what so many of us did, he said homophonic words but he never actually hated anyone.
@@WeirdSmellyMan he never was actually homophobic in his lyrics if the listener understands the context of the song
He says the words but if you listen to the message he isn’t being homophobic
Let’s get this channel to 100k subs.

Very refreshing smile and sympathic reaction on a great song ! ❤
Elton John knew he was going to get backlash for performing Stan with Em. He knew he would lose fans who felt he was betraying that community.
Eminem and Elton john are super friends.
I still hum and sing the chorus to this randomly today, after listening to this when it came our 20+ years ago. I am pretty sure I confuse my kids with how random it seems!
I completely forgot how catchy this song is, I will keep recommending Eminem crazy in love
You should watch the Elton John interview he did on the graham norton show. He gets asked how his friendship if between himself and marshal and Elton shares a funny story on their friendship
Oh "Andre" is Andre Young, Dr. Dre :) lol you got there!
As you did the new album. I think you will like this in order. I like watching it. White American is first. And the beet is the same throughout. Awesome. He produced this all and most stuff himself

I agree with Mr. Muggers. Superman and Forgot About Dre are two songs that will live on longer than Em. Thanks for another greatvideo Chris!
Thanks man I like your reaction keep it up with the goat 🔥

Good reaction! I recommend that you react to more songs from the eminem show.
such a great song one of my faves of his
Wow - glad you said it - catchy until that line ‘ good looking and cook and clean?????!!!!!’ Crickey - as they say here in Auckland. Shaking head. Catchy - so funny!!!
U definitely needed the video with this one
Finally Business! Haven't even watched it yet, but nice!
The clown bar is based on ICP if I'm not mistaken who em had beef with back in the day they were the insane clown posse in wrestling
Eminem ist One of the Best of all time ❤

You need to listen to The Way I Am!! Full of absolutely stunning bars
He reacted to it.. maybe check next time ?
F*ck me I’ve only just realised ‘hip hop is in a state of 9-1-1’ is a 9/11 reference following that entire verse…
The list you've been recommended is really good and you should definitely do those!! But also please react to Kasey chambers cover of lose yourself 🙏 trust me I saw videos of people reacting to it for months and ignored it because I don't usually care about covers but when I finally watched this one, it blew me away.

Any updates Patti?

Thanks for caring.🤗
Andre is Dre (you figured it out yourself right after I posted this lol), and fun fact Elton John was actually Eminem's sponsor for a while when Eminem was in recovery
Always good to see another reaction from you!
Thanks so much!
2:54 chip off the old block of Dr Dre. The lyrics before and after mentions Dr Dre 😁
I'm not sure if you noticed, but he rhymed 'oranges' in the first verse
It wasn't the first time
Would love to see you react to "You're never over" by Eminem .♥
"Holy wack, unlyrical lyrics Andre! You're fucking right!"
Elton sponsored em by the way
Ayo! Love me an Eminem reaction!
Love me an EM ANYTHING! lol
There is Andre 3000 to be fair 😂

Mugger has a great list of songs there!
Would love to see a reaction to “Letters From Home” John Michael Montgomery
Don’t know if you’ve done it yet but 25 to life is good too
You should react to Eminem “Love You More”. Intense and oddly beautiful song.

Elton has talked about how Em got Elton and his husband diamond Butt plugs as wedding gifts lol
1:00 thought i heard something else lmaoo
Can I add eminem Soldier and Say Goodbye to Hollywood to the list?!
I think you would enjoy Eminem - I’m Back
Please do Eminem - White America! Explicit lyric video if you can, the official music video's censored, last I checked. (I used to have a link for an explicit version of the music video, but it's broken now.)
Andre as in Andre Young alias Dr Dre
would love to see your reaction to square dance by em
Cured my boredom thanks
Eminem show.
Andre is Dr Dre. It took me years to connect those dots. As lame as that is!

He didn’t know his dad. Do it in order might enjoy it more
You should react to Mosh by Eminem
Chris can you please react to Eminem - saying goodbye to Hollywood please
Can you react to Berzerk by Eminem?
0:56 say what now?
📈
Please react to Ed Sheeran f64 (I tribute to his best friend and someone who was very influential in his career, and others from the UK).
I don’t think you’ll enjoy “Superman” very classic mesogist Em vibes on that one
Bitcoin seems to have its pros and cons.
Listen D12 my band, its funniest Eminem song.. a bit offensive to mexicans tho 😅
💙
Any chance you can check out Bo Burnham? Any content from his recent Netflix special is great but I recommend starting with “Welcome to the Internet”
