It's so weird how this generation doesn't even get all the references
They don't even know who Osama bin Laden was or what he did to their country. That's a sad indictment of society.
weird and sad.
It makes me feel old, lol!
Have this generation listen to Wu Tang and watch their faces go blank . Deeeep references. People used to actually get an education.
Right?!
Watching younger people watch him makes me realize how steeped in 60s-90s pop culture and politics his lyrics are. It would take HOURS to explain all of the back stories and history behind nearly every line or scene in this video
I know. I’m sitting here explaining out loud to the screen. At first it was like, “duh” but then I realized I’m old now and you had to be there. LOL
@@jeannecastillo4379 remember how the entire country talked about Monica Lewinsky for like three years straight?
Stop talking stop stop just stop. Listening is the point.
@@jeannecastillo4379me too lol
Or just the fazed-reaction of the Osama part. Like I don't blame him, so don't get on me about it. Just makes me feel weird where back in the day that'd make everyone gasp, now it's like who is this cave dweller?
"Blackman and Robin," is one of the best lines ever!
Bonus story, Google “Air Force Blackman and Robin”.
Old and New Eminem are BOTH good in different ways.
Yes!
Yes old Eminem is elite and new Eminem is above average
Agreed, and for me at least, I see old Em as "nostalgic" (I was 23 when he blew up)... newer Em has more layers and technical ability.
@@Jiff321more than above average. Mtbmb and side B have songs on the same level as his old stuff from encore, mmlp 1 and 2, and many others
@@Jiff321old Eminem could never come up with as many bars densely packed into a verse as he did it MTBMB.
You gotta check the dates these songs were released. This song was released 11 years before Rap God. People were so upset by his music back in the day they protested against him at the Grammys and they wanted MTV to stop playing his music. Hell, this song came out the year after 9/11 and the video has a bit with Osama bin Laden dancing in a cave and another one with him mocking the vice president's heart condition while electrocuting him.
Eminem's music is kinda like what Seinfeld is to TV shows. It influenced pop culture and the stuff that came after it so much that it's hard for people hearing it for the first time today to understand why it was such a big thing. There's people running around today unironically calling themselves stans and claiming to be a part of stan culture that don't know that 'Stan' is an Eminem song about an overly-obsessed fan whose obsession ruined his life and led him to do terrible things.
"Stan" should be reacted to
That's quite funny imo
The GOVERNMENT FREAKED OUT over Marshall! On the news every night! Seems silly now? It was silly then!
There has never been a time when people weren't trying to cancel Em. Or when he wasn't a huge commercial success.
This version is mild. They changed a lot of lyrics to make it radio friendly. They had to. A lot of his early lyrics seriously pushed the limits of what people thought you should be able to say. He was literally challenged by the government on a few things.
What does Eminem and Twisted Sister have in common? Tipper Gore
It was bad joke then and now 'cancel culture' took her job and just rolled with it.
Don't listen to those who say you talk too much. UA-cam is VERY strict about music. Pausing is necessary so you won't get a strike. Most people don't get that. You're doing a good job.
Yes, they tried to cancel him. Rap God came out way after the days of MTV.
Also, Em is hilarious...lol.
Here's the story. He did the Marshall Mather's CD and the media was like, "where's slim shady/bring back slim shady". So this was his answer to that. Also, he was constantly judged for his more "uncomfortable" lyrics and that kids were buying the CD. So he pointed out that it's not his responsibility, it's the parents job to keep their kids away from explicit content.
Fr good message
Thank you
@@IamKing4Lyou're very entertaining, if the don't like it they can go elsewhere. lol
@@michaelmurray3800 I appreciate it , thank you
100% agreed, YT and the labels never seemed to care about the Fair Use Doctrine. Talking over the song won't help, that algorithm is sneaky. Pausing and chatting is definitely the best way to TRY to avoid a claim. Once he clears more subs, it'll make more sense to have a Patreon and do live streams. I've been in live streams that get the plug pulled and go dead when the algorithm detects copyrighted songs.
I've seen people try a LOT of ways to trick it, from slowing a song down to like 98% speed to inserting an extra layer of "noise".
"Why would they let him say certain things that he said on Rap God" vs "cancel him on MTV" - Eminem was a cultural phenomenon during the late 90s/early 2000s. Eminem is still massive relatively, but even now he's like 5% of his peak force.
Dr. Dre saw something in him and he knew he was special
Honestly his first say 4 albums are probably my favs because of nostalgia, but he has just gotten better with age. More of his earlier stuff might be "funner" but his newer stuff is just insane with his technique and the density of doubles, triples, and even quadruples
Yeah, I haven't really followed his career - of course being a Gen Xer, I was there for his early, controversial days but his newer material sounds amazing. I wish he would inject more humor into his new music though. He still is a funny dude and you get glimpses of it (Godzilla has some funny stuff and it was genius to bring in Tyson!) but not like this song or much of his Shady stuff.
100% correct.
Bruh people who say this....smh. he may be technically "better" for rap purists or sosomething, but that ENERGY he had, the chip on the shoulder, everything like that is nowhere near early eminem
"Who is he dissing". Literally EVERYONE who had anything to say about him LOL. I was in 7th grade when Eminem hit the scene with "My Name Is" and it was wildly vulgar and mainstream all over MTV. In the late 90s home TV and cable became more "affordable" for middle class so most of us had a small 10-13" TV/VCR combo in our bedrooms and could access MTV and our own media for the first time - not to mention this new technology called "the internet" which was creeping it's way into more and more homes. Watching this video 2 decades later (!!) makes me appreciate him even more because every gag and clip in the video references and makes fun of some pretty niche pop culture moments "you had to be there for".
This song was very much a product of it's time. The people he's dissing in the song haven't been relevant for a long time.
Most of the people he disses was because they had an issue with his songs back in the day
If you can always do the explicit version of every Em song to get the full experience. The more you dig into Ems music the lyrics are important. So be ready to pause and rewind a lil. Em is the best and most technical rapper to touch the mic.
Hi my name is soo much funnier the explicit version
I agree, but as far as censored versions go, this one is far less egregious than most
The song isn't about Rap music without him, it's about the pop celebrity MTV TRL culture of the era that he ruthlessly mocked but wanted to claim him as part of it while at the same time agreeing with the powers that be upset with his language, behavior and lyrics and censoring him. He said controversial shit. And they also knew censorship sells
The two women in bed with Em in the beginning are adult film stars from that era. There are a ton of references to current events of the day.
I'd argue that Jenna Jameson was THE adult star of any era....but I digress.
The Marshall Mathers Album should answer your question about why they tried to cancel him on MTV
Em is not just The G.O.A.T. He is a GOD
I want to say you can get away with a LOT more on tv than you used to be. 90s was wild for rap. When the rappers were involved in gang wars this stuff is what hit the shelves and parents did not want their children involved. Eminem was not afraid to call out the other rappers and let them know he had a piece if they wanted to start something.
This very much led to hearings at the advisory board about his lyrics a lot. He spit a lot of venom in his songs at everybody.
Rap God is TAME compared to “stuff you can’t say” in Eminem’s library of music
You're so polite. Don't listen to those goons. It's a reaction. You're suppose to talk. Loved this reaction.
MTV had a tv series back in the day called Making The Video. A good amount of bands and artist were apart of it, including Eminem. This video was one of the ones on Making The Video. He went after everyone back in the 90's and early 00's. Boy Bands, Pop Stars, Politicians...This was a fraction of what was going on back then.
Facts
In the 90s it was just a different time. The music Eminem was making was talking about drugs gays homophobia. He talked about a lot of topics that was controversial. They absolutely did cancel him on MTV they also canceled him on the radio. At one point you couldn’t hear Eminem anywhere unless you literally took a parent to buy the album because it was explicit. The music industry tried to cancel him at one point
Check out "Stan". Not only was it excellent storytelling in a rap song by Eminem but Dido was great too. Slim Shady is a fun video/song also.
It’s also why people say they “stan” something or someone
Legend….Dre knew what he was doing.❤
Eminem from what I have seen over the decades is that no one should ever battle rap him. His dedication to his word game is insane.
I believe that this was him throwing back to his original, more comedic, Slim Shady persona after getting real DARK with his Marshall Mathers LP... if I remember correctly
Doesn't matter if MTV cancels him or anyone, they don't even play music videos anymore.
This was fun to relive through you. I remember when this album first came out. And listening to it in this video made me appreciate it all over again.
This sing is from way before Rap God
5:18 That's the Real World not Amanda
Eminem got his start being the rebel standing up and fighting the corporations and system. Today, he fights for the corporations and for the system.
Back in the late 90s he scared the heck out of the white parents in the suburbs, we'd never heard anything like this before
A lot of whites were listening to gangsta rap before Eminem. I'm not even into rap and even I had an Ice-T album in the very early 90s.
His song "White America" explains a little more about why he was getting cancelled.
" See the problem is I speak to suburban kids, Who otherwise would've never knew these words exist"
"Surely hip-hop was never a problem In Harlem, Only in Boston
After it bothered the fathers of daughters starting to blossom"
Culture was more conservative leaning back then and he was still able to reach a wider untapped audience in the white communities.
I was one of them. I didn't really listen to rap before Eminem. I was in high school when he blew up. I then listened to Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, N.W.A and others.
I still listen to his older stuff for nostalgia, but personally, I'm not a huge fan of modern Eminem.
Love the reaction man would love to watch you discover Eminem’s story through his catalog start from the beginning and it will unfold Stans will be here for all of it
"The stuff yall could get away with" is not different than today. Whats different is, we didnt get offended/triggered by EVERYTHING lol
It's less 'who' is he dissing, and more like who 'hasn't' this man dissed 😁
This song is a year 2000 pop culture history lesson
When this song came out... the laws about speech were a little bit different in terms of the FCC. They did try to cancel him on MTV but this song came from his 3rd professional album. At the MTV music awards he performed live "The real Slim Shady" (2nd album) where he took shots at female singers in the audience. Mainly Christina Aguilera. And rappers weren't necessarily doing that yet. He was the pioneer of the battle mentality in mainstream music. It was new to about 80% of the American audience. By the time rap god came out which was like, what 2014 or 15.. can't remember, but Em and a whole lot of others had been sparring with FCC guidelines in the name of free speech. Not quite as big of a victory as the one by 2LiveCrew but even from the 90's on, artists challenged the rules the whole way, erroding policies and stances the entire time. Today's FCC is regression. With the way woke ❄️'s cry about being offended, it's almost like everything the old artists did has been nullified.
Oh.. And I disagree about old Em being better than new Em. Old Em is greatness, but the evolution of his delivery, the expansion of his style, the diversity of cadence... he might just be the best wordsmith in a long line of poets... and then maybe the best mankind will ever see. Disagree? Who has more focus on the perfection of his/her rhyme schemes, and who in this day and age DOESN'T use ghost writers? Cause Em doesn't.
There’s been so many times people complained about Em even today his old stuff still gets brought up because he says whatever he wants no matter the level but he doesn’t care and would do it anyways
He was considered controversial because of his lyrics and popularity. In 2002 Walmart (our biggest retailer) decided to not sell his CD’s which was crazy, insane at the time because it cost the company multi millions of dollars and just made people want his albums even more.
As someone who has been addicted to em since I was 17 now 43 and I think old eminem has evolved he had been at this 30 yrs and he has matured with age and ppl just say that stupid ish to put him down EDS = EMINEM DERANGEMENT SYNDROME you said check out music to be murdered by all was great but no regrets, book of rhymes, zues,etc there all great
This is the point of reaction videos. Holmes didn't realize that Rap God came long after Without Me. BTW MTV was pressured to ban him from the jump.
At the time this song came out, it was the beginning of his rise, and there was definitely a split between people that loved him or lived to hate him 😂
He was saying it would be empty without him because people wouldn't have a much to complain about.
I don't know how many people catch this, but the lines 'two trailer park girls go round the outside' is referencing Malcolm McLarens and The World's Famous Supreme Team's song 'Buffalo Gals', from 1983, which has the line, 'Two buffalo gals go round the outside'.
Dude! Rap was dead and his lyrics were just so fresh out brought it all back. He was canceled from MTV and moms were all up in arms about him.
The bearded guy at 9:12 is Osama bin Laden in his cave lol. Also Chris Kirkpatrick was a member of N*Sync. I guess they had beef lol
Also the scenes in the reality show in the house is mocking The Real World (MTV show) & the scene with the people on the floating poop is mocking the show Survivor (which just came out around that time).
Lots of early 2000s references in this video :)
Also, Dick Cheney was the VP of the U.S. from 2000-2008.
GOAT
Oh I love the old Eminem 😁😁🤘
Old Eminem💥💥
Eminem paved the way for music. He left a huge foot print in the rap industry. Start going through his music from start to finish
This song is straight flames. The beat is flawless such a vibe can make any rapper sound good with the beat alone🔥🔥🔥
He could say whatever he wanted then AND now and still be sold en masse. Being “canceled” doesn’t have anything to do with being able to put stuff out. It wouldn’t get blocked by anyone.
Theoretically, if he were cancelled it would lead to people not buying it, but it doesn’t mean it couldn’t be put out.
That said, people have been trying to cancel him since he came out, though the concept wasn’t called that at the time. There were protests outside of his concerts and literal congressional committees trying. It didn’t work then and it wouldn’t work now. Being cancelled only works if you let it.
Facts, the cancel culture has no power if you don't bend the knee
Always loved this song.
You will be surprised the more you listen to his work.
Love love love him. I can totally feel all his songs. No bish 'bout it. Keep up the good work!!
I'm Gen X. Had the biggest crush on him. Loved 8 Mile battle at the end. Without Me was always my favorite. He's impossible to beat. He's fast, he's funny, and he's incredibly smart. I remember he was hated and they tried to cancel him. He was controversial. And angry lol.
a lot of people might miss that the opening of the song pays homage to Rapping Duke which Biggie also quotes... "daha daha, who ever thought hiphop would take it this far".
Not sure if you have listened to the beastie boys but they were great and this gentleman is probably one of the best from the 2000s
I just discovered them I have a playlist made of all my reactions to them
This is so funny that most these lyrics the upcoming fans in the future aren’t gonna understand about beef, but we all went through it, so we know what he was talking about
They didn't just try to cancel him on MTV, they tried to cancel him completely. In his first 2 albums he disses over 100 people and makes it clear who he's dissing. The gayrights people tried the hardest saying he was homopobic and his music was hateful. But after he preformed with Elton John at the Grammys everyone back off.
This kills me the fact all the references just flew right over his head
Pause, rewind if you need to and discuss as often as you like. Helps to get videos up and shows the viewers you are trying to get the lyrics and word play. Also try to get uncensored versions, all words are there for a reason . His first release, Hi My Name Is blew up MTV. Suburban kids not only bought his music but dived into rap, both old and new at the time. Parents and influential politicians blamed Em exposing kids to the realities of urban life and Em's profanity and slurs.
Just like now he references pop culture of the time so this has tons of references from around 2000-2001.
Hope you enjoy his catalog. Many find it easiest to start at the beginning and go on from there to see his evolution, but if you skip around viewers will always help you out with background info in comments. There are a lot of STANs out there. FYI when you react to Stan get the long explicit version. It is a mini movie and you miss important lines due to censors.
Just subscribed and going to check out your content. Liking the few I have seen the last few days ❤️🔥
Thank you, man...
Im OFFICIALLY old as FUUUUCK now. 🤣💯
I just needed the moment to truly understand that fact. 🤣🤣🤣
Without me, is at the top of my list of Eminem songs just for the fact that it's got a great beat, his rhymes are sick and it's funny as hell. Imo, he's saying that rap wouldn't be the same without him and it's true. He was the first white rapper to have that level of success and it opened doors for a lot of other people.
Eminem - the ringer !
you are doing fine man , no sweat
The BEST rap artist. PERIOD.
The best song order for Em would be the o start with Track #1 from his fist album and listen to the songs in order from the fist to his most recent. Alsi, it's good ti hear them in order because he does reference his previous songs in some songs.
When Em is in the cave with a beard he is impersonating osama binladen. He dresses up as all the characters in this and the log is from a challenge on survivor, a desert island programme on at the time. Eminem in more recent years writes and produces loads on songs which have been released in the charts by other artists singing them so he is someone you want to know of. ❤
My first car came with The Eminem Show in the disk changer. Also I heard this a lot as a kid when people brought their older siblings ipods into school.
Whoever wrote the Amanda show had to be on hard drugs 😂
Ayooooo😂😂😂
This song aged so well, the music industry really feels so empty. Cause he spoke facts and made us actually think 🤔 to understand what he was saying. And it was fun to notice how his stories actually created an image in our minds of what he saying. If you listen without the mv it’s even better. People don’t do that anymore.
Much improved on the intro ! keep itup
Hello from Cody Wyoming 😊you're awesome keep it up
❤ great reaction and yes we have to pause the videos! Most people that watch us know this but some still like to complain lol I love Eminem!!
Music to be murdered by goes hard whole album
Ahhhh soooo good to hear early EM again.
Dr Dre and Eminem collaborated a lot back then, they were a great team!
His songs and videos made fun of so many other artists and their videos at the time that younger react presenters now can't identify them all. And people can still see the humor even if they don't know exactly who he's singing about.
I'm the same age as Eminem. He blew my mind when he first appeared on the scene. It's crazy to think this song is now 22 years old. If you haven't seen it already, you should check out the movie he made back in the day called "8 Mile"
Em is the only artist I know of that had the uncensored album censored.
man you did great reacting to Rap God, Im here for you bro
The part you said reminded you of the Amanda Show was a reference to the MTV show called The Real World
"The way iam" with Marilyn manson on guitar is one of his best.
Keep talking brother, we are here for your reaction thoughts and opinions! You earned a sub bro!
Mockingbird was one of my favorites growing up. I don't know why, but I loved it
Oh you are in for a fun ride if you decide to go down the Em rabbit hole, so many amazing tracks for you to go back to. I'd recommend going back to the beginning but just some tracks to check out , Cleaning out my Closet and Headlights (should be done together), Stan, Sing for the Moment, The Way I Am, Like Toy Soldiers, Mocking bird, Not Afraid, Love the Way you Lie, Castle and Arose (should also be done together). Make sure they are all the explicit versions though. Also check out his movie 8 Mile. Enjoy the ride!
Black Man and Robin. That was perfect!
I’m 45 years old..you not knowing Eminem songs would be like me not knowing the 60’s songs. Of course i knew them because i grew up in a house hold that constantly played music .
"Why would they try to cancel him on MTV?" Hahahahahahahha
Slim Shady
One of the best rap battlers.
Comedy and incredibly precise lyrics. That's Eminem, Slim Shady. Remember that battle taps were normal back then. Generally fun competition and playing with each other. Bizkit and Eminem would do stuff together. Like Eminem saying Dre was locked in his basement.
It is so entertaining to watch the younger generation react to Eminem, I love it!
I mean "Lose Yourselt" is classic, but "The Way I Am" is my all time favorite Eminem song. Not sure why. I just like that he is so unapologetic, all of the time. Just be you, man.
Again this is my first time hearing or seeing this. So yesterday I was walking outside and this is the first hearing this song or seeing video ..true story bro 😅
MTV and Eminem weren't always friendly . Times were different
My Daddy grew up in Twizel 😊 We went for a trip around the south Island a few years back & when we got to twizel he couldn't stop reminiscing😅 but we loved hearing his stories❤ his Uncles helped build that Dam not far from Ōmarama. Sorry i forget name.
so funny, seen loads of people seeing this for the first time never heard BM & Robin... nice👍
Come on,Eminem is so relevant! BTW I’m 62 love his music. He literally said how it is..
It’s a lotta history here so I noticed a a fair bit went unnoticed but nice reaction. If you deep dive the history of Eminem this song has a lot more meaning in many ways.
