The flow he puts down with "surely hip hop was never a problem in halrem, only is boston. after it bothered the fathers of daughters starting to blossom" is one of the best ever!!
And the words themselves! It summarizes the theme of the whole song: the government will not care about any issues unless they directly affect the majority of white population.
What I'm saying like now dudes usen eminem for clout like he saying self aware this dude usen eminem cause he his who he is an eminem white .we all know dre ain't shit compared to eminem full respect to dre for doing his job being a producer
most genius out here in this world got recognition only after they pass away, I'm glad he is where he is with so many millenials who tryhard to diss / cancel him hahaha, they just can't
Isn't the comment about the govt getting onto him when they tried to ban his songs and put the the parental ratings on him. If I'm not mistaken isn't he the reason they started putting age ratings on cds
I love how every part of the composition of this song is such an “in your face” vibe. And Eminem’s lyrics drive it home so much. My father was a musician. He gave me my voice, and my passion for writing and performing. But he always hated rap. Couldn’t stand it. When I was a kid we’d go back and forth repeating tongue twisters. And I think that’s the reason I fell in love with rap music today. Ironically it makes me feel so much closer to my dad. And I eventually convinced him to listen to at least some artists. RIP, Dad. I love the gift of music you’ve given me. And I will share that with the world.
I have always loved the line "Look at these eyes, baby blue, baby just like yourself. If they were brown, Shady lose, Shady sits on the shelf" - just the sheer creativity and rhyme scheme of stating something so simple. Any other rapper would have been straight literal with it, but only Em can say it it a way that is not in your face, has multiple meanings, and you immediately STILL get it
Every song on the Eminem Show is 🔥. It's more storytelling songs though, not songs for bar breakdowns. If you do Eminem week you should mix it up - old songs and new Sing For The Moment is one of my favs from this album
I personally like “square dance” as my favourite song from the Eminem show, Sing for the moment would be a close second then “Soldier” (not toy soldier) Hailie’s song is good for him it shows his nice side like in “mockingbird”
Glad you discovered Eminem brother, even tho he’s not your favourite rapper, i love your enthusiasm and passion for he’s powerful lyrics. You are being genuine and appreciating greatness as we are all blessed to have grown up and still live in Eminems era of Hip Hop
Was definitely one of my favorite tracks back then man. One of Em's masterpiece albums. Nobody ever heard something like this before. I mean, same with Mmlp. But this album, whether you like Mmlp better or not, this album's production and lyrical content was on another level.
@@ismael9694 he did it many times Kill you: I'm just playin ladies you know I love you White America: this So Much Better: I'm just playin bitch you know I love you Killshot: diddy
This song gives me goose bumps every single time and I’ve been listening to it for 18 years. Still so relevant it’s kinda crazy honestly. This man is a fkn genius, and that doesn’t even begin to cover it. He’s an absolute rap god 👌🏻
i remember that i was living in Italy when The Eminem Show went out,and i listened to the album after i bought it for likr 3 or 4 weeks straight.and every time i was listening to a track,i was finding something new,my english wasn't this good at that time.and this song was fire back then,is fire now and will be fire everytime someone hits Play.specially the music video.Em always spoke the facts and inserted real facts in his tracks.that's whyhe is so famous.and also his style of being a Dilligaf(do i look like i give a f###)saying the things straight in the face without concerning that will might affect his life,career etc got to the people really fast,because 90%of us have some fears speaking the facts and attacking in words the ones that harm us in some way.and many of us listeeners took Em as a spokeman to our feelings,thru his music.
He should just do it by album....track for track, hes got alot of great music even albums that "most" people didn't like (woke em) there's still songs on those albums that are fire
This was the first time eminem knew he had the platform to preach and say his peace and it was an absolutely amazing album. He killed it, this album made him. Encore he was sick of the fame and was doing a ton of drugs but this album he was driven like no other. Eminem is smart he knew exactly what this album had to be.
Why was Em so successful 1) lyrically great/wanted to absorb knowledge like a sponge does water 2) honest 3) paid respect to those who paved the way. 4) no matter how big he got he stayed true and focused. It's really that simple.
All his first four albums are classics, but I think The Slim Shady LP, The Marshall Mathers LP, and The Eminem Show are three of his best classics that I think people love quite a lot.
I like this comment, too many people on here just listen to Eminem and crown everything he does as the greatest. There are tons of artist who have the same skill level as him, just not for as long of a run. He admits it all the time in interviews how much he looks up to other artist. I love Eminem but too many comments are one sided.
Haha I love Stevie Knight’s reactions! He’s one of the best on UA-cam. I feel like he never misses shit whether it be breaking down bars, appreciation of the rhythmic pattern, the message of a song, lyrics, etc. Especially to Eminem. Would love to see you react to Role Model!!! Have a great day.
Stevie Knight right on Brutha. Thanks for replying 🙏🏼. Hey if I could throw you a suggestion your way. “Soldier” Eminem show. The beat hits hard and I always say he goes full PAC on that song with his style of rappin’. Anyways love all your videos and your dedication of dissecting songs.
This is one of my favorites and I am white. We will never be able to understand your struggles, and never pretend to.but he made it bust wide open with “you don’t have to be my color/background/religion to understand my problems or switched around, but we can help each other in every aspect. Dre being African American signed him and catapulted him in a predominately black genre, while Eminem at the same time (as mentioned in the track) brought light to problems going on that kids who grew up in suburbia would’ve never known. Dre and em changed landscapes so much
@@divyanshsaxena3896 well I’m not black either. I’m Latino lol but yeah either way that statement is false. Everyone listens to Eminem. Numbers don’t lie
The internal rhyme and meter of "Hip Hop was never a problem in Harlem, only in Boston, after it bothered the fathers of daughters starting to blossom" is brilliant on a historical scale. The fact that he made a coherent point with those bars on top of that is wild.
I really enjoyed your react! This is what I felt today. I re-listened to this song today after not hearing since 2002, and I remembering liking the song. But I didn’t understand the power of the lyrics back then. Now? OMG so relevant 20 years later!! And I can’t stop listening!!
You should really do the music video to “I need a doctor” with em and Dre where Eminem thanks Dre for everything he did while also trying to motivate Dre to get his shit together. (It was when Dre lost his son and was really going through it)
@@mattyo5022 rap and it's aggressive lyrics weren't a problem when it stayed in the black community. It became a problem in middle America. Fathers of daughters starting to blossom references fathers being bothered their teenage daughters find him attractive and may be influenced by his...slightly misogynist lyrics.
You are joking right? The only songs regarded higher is "Not Alike" and "Lucky You". Not Alike because of the diss to MGK and Lucky You because of Joyner. I agree if he hasn't heard it he has too but it isn't slept on. A song that is slept on from the album, at least in my opinion is "Greatest". "Guess that's the standard I'm held to But if somethin' like that doesn't tell ya You set a mark too high when platinum sales are Looked at as a failure"
Eminem - fall Eminem - quitter (everlast diss) Eminem - run rabbit run Eminem - mosh TI ft. Eminem - all she wrote Eminem - evil twin Eminem - like toy soldiers Eminem - legacy like this so Stevie can see it !!
Love this song. Listened to it a lot in the past. Eminem always been political and spoke out about stuff, people act like it all started with revival and it definitely didn't. Songs like this always make me respect him so much because he's never been scared to address shit and call people in power out for their bullshit
That so true. I know a couple people that are like I stop listening to eminem because he's getting all political. No your mad because he talked about Trump. You loved it when he made fun of every one else. Plus eminem has no limits he kind of even had a beef with an actor that played superman and was paralyzed (just for fun) nobody or thing is safe.
@@itskev8126 Eminem didn't make fun of Trump. He picked a clear cut side. No one would have a problem with bashing Trump when 99% of celebrities do it. He said I'm drawing a line and I'm on this side on BCT cypher. I'm like alright and I'm not even american. A world class artist dipping himself down to politics is pathetic. He said on sway interview he watches too much news. Now I know why.
@@AkshayKumar-ue1fp eminem is almost 50 that what 50 years old men talk about politics. Who cares if he's famous. Eminem also said he wish he could re-write that part in the song where he drew the line. He said he would of worded it differently.
You need to react to ‘Mosh’ he takes aim at the gov and George bush during the time of his presidency. It’s honestly the way I wish he would’ve went with Revival.
It's funny that critics always ask Eminem where his content's at. It's almost as if they have never even listened to his albums and just assume that the only thing he ever made were the songs that showed up on TRL.
Yeaaah, that's TES Eminem for you!! My favourite Em album, you should definitely check some more songs from that one! He was woke since the beginning!❤
I grew up dancing to and watching Soul Train on Sundays and as a teen my favorite singers were Lional Richie, Tina Turner, Run DMC, Phil Collins and even New Edition (lol)...bobby) and others. I got a lot of flack from my parents about the music I listened to, so I encouraged all of my kids to listen to whatever music they wanted- my son's favoirte were Nelly, 50, M, and Kid Rock.
Reaction on point. Em has always been aware. Its why he’s so much more political and willing to stand up for the culture and community it gave him a new life just like anyone else who survived. his rhymes are so much more meaningful than 75% of guys minimum It’s everyone else who’s black and not as good as him who are salty and you’re one of the reactors willing to call that out. So much respect to you that even discovering the depth of Eminem later than everyone else can see that. It’s not like Eminem has ever said “n****” or singled anyone out who didn’t come for him or his people first. His skills prove his dedication to the game. He’s rarely matched and never out rhymed
Eminem is a unique human being we have to thank God and greatful he is still alive and being a good father to Hailey I’m am so happy he’s been a real daddy father for her 🥰🥰🥰❤️❤️ Eminem is so humble he always loved his family and bring unity among us I love seeing a white person hug a black person everyone one Love we all Americans 🥰🥰❤️🙏🏾🙏🏾 Eminem was like a Rap Heroe forreal 🙏🏾🙏🏾❤️
If you want more political or self aware Eminem, I’d recommend “mosh” and “we as Americans”. Both stirred up controversy for him and he had the Secret Service come to his house for a line he said on “we as Americans”.
"I don't rap for dead presidents (money), id rather see the president dead.." Crazy ass haha, the secret service thing was also because of a line he said on the song "Rap Game" from 8 Mile. It's censored, but he says "I'll pipe down when the White House gets wiped out." lol,
I remember getting this album when it came out. Like some others have said, it's cool to see someone hear and review this now, so long after it came out. The message still holds true.
Love your breakdowns and thoughts on these reaction videos, been watching a few from you lately. Got plenty back catalogue to go through but you hit the nail on the head with Eminem. That dude was my teenage years!
I LOVE this reaction!! You totally get it! I am a white mom same age as Eminem and grew up listening to his music and my 21 year old daughter is also a fan!! Awesome parenting!!
This song hits so hard with 15's it's crazy. besides the beat , the lyrics are so real. One of the realist artists ive ever heard next to Pac and Biggy.
In high school I didnt really have access to the internet so my friend and I used to write all the lyrics down to his songs.. to this day I remember these albums word for word and it takes me back
In my opinion I his is his best album it’s my favorite anyway it’s what made me buy all his albums I was like 11 when the Eminem show dropped and I’ve been hooked ever since
The whole Eminem Show album is nothing but fire bruh 🔥🔥🔥🔥 and you gotta remember this is 18 fucking years old lol...I remember putting blank cassette tapes in a boombox and recording these tracks off the radio because my mom wouldn't buy me his albums 😂
I still remember playing this album in a tape for the first time with my Walkman, and this song, BAMM. I'm SHOOK. Still remember the feeling. Putting this song at the intro (not really cuz you'll have curtain sing I think) really fit. OMG I'm shook while typing this.
You: “2002?! This shit is old as fuuu” Me: who was in highschool in 2002 and jamming shadys things since Jr high. 🙄 Lmao!!!! Omg, you’re killing me over here. 😂💀
Stevie, bruh. Do yourself and all of us a favor and react to most of the Eminem Show album. Business, Soldier, Square Dance, Hollywood. There's a bunch.
Watchin you get so into it you start to mouth along and move your arms gives me this awesome feeling connection. That's a subscribe feeling right there.
WOW!.... I have never heard anyone break down this song so accurately and genuine and honest! I love people that can analyze lyrics and subject matter and truly appreciate it!! In my opinion that’s what music is all about.
Bro seeing this series is 🔥 taking me back and getting a whole new perspective as an adult and recapturing what was being pushed into my head as a teen is just mind blowing right now 🤯
You know when em says I'm just playing I love you at the end of a song he meant the shit he was saying...Like at the end of killshot telling diddy you know I'm just playing...He ain't cool with Diddy at all...
wtf stevie. i like eminem a lot and you breaking down the bars the way you do, it clarifies a bunch of stuff i've been missing. you better not stop doing these reactions to em's songs bro 🔥
This is my first review of yours, and man I LOVED this review. You are smart. You are intelligent. The way you broke down the lyrics and went deep into their meaning resonated with me. You explained it so well, I was really impressed. Following, watching all the other Eminem videos right now. Keep up the good work. Eminem is deep, and you saw that. Some other reviewers talk about the songs, but not like this. I don't know how else to explain it, but damn, good stuff.
It's crazy to think how much of a double edged sword it was. Like...Em's white privilege helped catapult him to center stage & yet he also got an unusual amount of hate because he's white, both from inside hip-hop by people who didn't understand his story (Lord Jamar types) and from people outside hip-hop ("white america") who were scared of his honesty and the impact that it might have on their kids. No wonder Em was so angry at times.
holy shit a reactor that actually googles something instead of just asking future viewers for an answer they'll never read lmao good shit homie
Yea thats annoying....like 2 seconds dude if you want to get the time context the song came out in
He da man dog
He’s the best. There’s him, and then everybody else. 👀
It was so refreshing, I mashed the sub button when I saw that lol.
lmao, good, legit point!
The flow he puts down with "surely hip hop was never a problem in halrem, only is boston. after it bothered the fathers of daughters starting to blossom" is one of the best ever!!
Forever incredible.
And the words themselves! It summarizes the theme of the whole song: the government will not care about any issues unless they directly affect the majority of white population.

Sing For The Moment is one of my favs from this album
Kiki Sing For The Moment is (lyrically) my favourite song of his. There isn’t a skippable track on that album.
One of my favourite things about TES is the emotion he had on this album on every song and his great story telling mixed with that🔥
That’s his best album mllp is a close second
I personally like “square dance” as my favourite song from the Eminem show, Sing for the moment would be a close second then “Soldier” (not toy soldier) Hailie’s song is good for him it shows his nice side like in “mockingbird”
“Soldier” is my favorite. But it’s my fave album as well 👍🏽

@@sadlyufail Yes! That song has some great storytelling from the other side. Hopefully humbled up some people..
Love this song. Listened to it a lot in the past. Eminem always been political and spoke out about stuff, people act like it all started with revival and it definitely didn't. Songs like this always make me respect him so much because he's never been scared to address shit and call people in power out for their bullshit
That so true. I know a couple people that are like I stop listening to eminem because he's getting all political. No your mad because he talked about Trump. You loved it when he made fun of every one else. Plus eminem has no limits he kind of even had a beef with an actor that played superman and was paralyzed (just for fun) nobody or thing is safe.
@@itskev8126 Eminem didn't make fun of Trump. He picked a clear cut side. No one would have a problem with bashing Trump when 99% of celebrities do it. He said I'm drawing a line and I'm on this side on BCT cypher. I'm like alright and I'm not even american.
A world class artist dipping himself down to politics is pathetic. He said on sway interview he watches too much news. Now I know why.
Eminem's never been political until 2018. You're tripping.
@@AkshayKumar-ue1fp eminem is almost 50 that what 50 years old men talk about politics. Who cares if he's famous. Eminem also said he wish he could re-write that part in the song where he drew the line. He said he would of worded it differently.
@@AkshayKumar-ue1fp white American came out way before 2018. He pretty much shitted on every politician who was in office at that time
Eminem reminds me a lot 2Pac. His lyrics are so meaningful and he speaks his minds like 2Pac and not giving a fuck about what nobody say or think.
If you like style of Eminem, you’d like “soldier”, “square dance” and “till I collapse”, off the same album.
And superman
Thats a great song
Let's get down to Buisness
You need to react to ‘Mosh’ he takes aim at the gov and George bush during the time of his presidency. It’s honestly the way I wish he would’ve went with Revival.
It's funny that critics always ask Eminem where his content's at. It's almost as if they have never even listened to his albums and just assume that the only thing he ever made were the songs that showed up on TRL.

Marshall Mathers is the one person on this planet that could never get cancelled 💯
I WAS 9 YRS OLD IN 2002 I REMEMBER HAVING THE CD & THIS SONG ON REPEAT TILL I MEMORIZED THE LYRICS
Best reaction to this song ever
This has been my favourite song for ever!!! Huge stan from Germany... keep up the good work - love your videos
Yeaaah, that's TES Eminem for you!! My favourite Em album, you should definitely check some more songs from that one! He was woke since the beginning!❤
This probably is the best reaction video I have ever seen from anyone! Keep up the great work! Peace!
I grew up dancing to and watching Soul Train on Sundays and as a teen my favorite singers were Lional Richie, Tina Turner, Run DMC, Phil Collins and even New Edition (lol)...bobby) and others. I got a lot of flack from my parents about the music I listened to, so I encouraged all of my kids to listen to whatever music they wanted- my son's favoirte were Nelly, 50, M, and Kid Rock.
I'll say it again.. The boy can write hooks!
That's such an underrated ability that alot of rappers just don't have.
Stevie Knight finally sounding like a fan 🤯😂 Great reaction as always.
If you like that one you should checkout "Mosh"
ua-cam.com/channels/48ROTJrxYH2zp1NvW9oMuA.html
Most def.. Bro
Yesss these two go hand in hand
Yes!!
Mosh, Toy Soldier, et cetera. His worst album
Reaction on point.
Em has always been aware. Its why he’s so much more political and willing to stand up for the culture and community it gave him a new life just like anyone else who survived. his rhymes are so much more meaningful than 75% of guys minimum
It’s everyone else who’s black and not as good as him who are salty and you’re one of the reactors willing to call that out. So much respect to you that even discovering the depth of Eminem later than everyone else can see that. It’s not like Eminem has ever said “n****” or singled anyone out who didn’t come for him or his people first. His skills prove his dedication to the game. He’s rarely matched and never out rhymed
Eminem is a unique human being we have to thank God and greatful he is still alive and being a good father to Hailey I’m am so happy he’s been a real daddy father for her 🥰🥰🥰❤️❤️ Eminem is so humble he always loved his family and bring unity among us I love seeing a white person hug a black person everyone one Love we all Americans 🥰🥰❤️🙏🏾🙏🏾 Eminem was like a Rap Heroe forreal 🙏🏾🙏🏾❤️
One of my favorite Em songs. It’s fun to vibe to when driving. Gets you hyped. I graduated in 2002. This album was and still is a total jam.
Boogie - Rainy Days ft. Eminem
Conway - Bang fr. Eminem
If you want more political or self aware Eminem, I’d recommend “mosh” and “we as Americans”. Both stirred up controversy for him and he had the Secret Service come to his house for a line he said on “we as Americans”.
And they revisited him again, which he mentioned on The Ringer, if I'm not mistaken
So P.E. wasn't saying the same thing for a longtime
"I don't rap for dead presidents (money), id rather see the president dead.."
Crazy ass haha, the secret service thing was also because of a line he said on the song "Rap Game" from 8 Mile.
It's censored, but he says "I'll pipe down when the White House gets wiped out." lol,
@@terrancemcneil2841 was that a question?
@@joshuaha7661 rap game is harddd
I started dying at the end when em said I love you America and STEVIE said LIAR...
😂😂😂
I remember getting this album when it came out. Like some others have said, it's cool to see someone hear and review this now, so long after it came out. The message still holds true.
Love your breakdowns and thoughts on these reaction videos, been watching a few from you lately. Got plenty back catalogue to go through but you hit the nail on the head with Eminem. That dude was my teenage years!
I LOVE this reaction!! You totally get it! I am a white mom same age as Eminem and grew up listening to his music and my 21 year old daughter is also a fan!! Awesome parenting!!
Growing up my parents didn't want me to listen to eminem. Shit didn't stop me. Made me want to even more.
This song hits so hard with 15's it's crazy. besides the beat , the lyrics are so real. One of the realist artists ive ever heard next to Pac and Biggy.
this the first CD I bought-this song brings me back, the lyrics i used to read off the litttle brochure. dope shit
Love that people are going back to listen to some of Em's classics. SO MUCH MORE! Keep going!
Real talk best reacter in youtube right now .
PS : make sure to check out eminem evil twin , crazy bars
I don’t like many reactions to this bc they don’t see the picture he paints glad you did
Much Love from Brasil u and NoLifeShaq are the best on Yoytube period.
In high school I didnt really have access to the internet so my friend and I used to write all the lyrics down to his songs.. to this day I remember these albums word for word and it takes me back
Cold Wind Blows
The Eminem Show is such a polished and dope album, u definitely need to react more songs from that album
Best album
This album is timeless and still absolute fire 🔥🔥
It’s my favourite album of his. Id love Stevie to react to more songs from it. Business, Soldier, Say What You Say, Till I collapse to name a few.
@@katielawson9096 yeah even like revelations, my dad's home crazy. Start to finish that is a classic.
In my opinion I his is his best album it’s my favorite anyway it’s what made me buy all his albums I was like 11 when the Eminem show dropped and I’ve been hooked ever since
I need everyone in here to request him to watch the Em Wake Up Show Freestyle!!
The whole Eminem Show album is nothing but fire bruh 🔥🔥🔥🔥 and you gotta remember this is 18 fucking years old lol...I remember putting blank cassette tapes in a boombox and recording these tracks off the radio because my mom wouldn't buy me his albums 😂
I still remember playing this album in a tape for the first time with my Walkman, and this song, BAMM. I'm SHOOK. Still remember the feeling. Putting this song at the intro (not really cuz you'll have curtain sing I think) really fit. OMG I'm shook while typing this.
This is the most in-depth review I’ve ever watched. You have a great way of breaking the song down.
Need to listen and watch the video “mosh” by em. You’d really like that one.
You: “2002?! This shit is old as fuuu”
Me: who was in highschool in 2002 and jamming shadys things since Jr high. 🙄
Lmao!!!! Omg, you’re killing me over here. 😂💀
That just means we're old as fuuu 😂
@@markwisdom2807 boy! Speak for yourself!!! Lmao I graduated 2004 🙄 I know ALL the words. I’m sitting here like “yooooooo, stop pausing it.”
Class of 03 here lol
Damn I was born in 2001 one banging these songs since before elementary cause my mom. Lol thanks mom
He said old as shit and I said EXCUSE ME?! 😂
Stevie, bruh. Do yourself and all of us a favor and react to most of the Eminem Show album. Business, Soldier, Square Dance, Hollywood. There's a bunch.
ua-cam.com/channels/48ROTJrxYH2zp1NvW9oMuA.html
Love the track Soldier
Watchin you get so into it you start to mouth along and move your arms gives me this awesome feeling connection. That's a subscribe feeling right there.
WOW!.... I have never heard anyone break down this song so accurately and genuine and honest! I love people that can analyze lyrics and subject matter and truly appreciate it!! In my opinion that’s what music is all about.
Eminem - Mosh
That hits hard!
Dre just released Em upon the world as an experiment. I don't even think he understood the effect that would happen because of it.
Now you know why Eminem has so much support and so many fans because White America...
ua-cam.com/channels/48ROTJrxYH2zp1NvW9oMuA.html
Bro seeing this series is 🔥 taking me back and getting a whole new perspective as an adult and recapturing what was being pushed into my head as a teen is just mind blowing right now 🤯
This , mosh, business, these beats, cadence's. Shit hits hard as hell
Soldier from The Eminem show has always been one of my personal favourites, nothing to break down but pure aggression.
Add the way I am for that pure aggression
Called it, knew you would like it!
On that white fan for every black fan line. I am a white Canadian and we were listening to NWA ,Tupac and biggie before Em came out.
Ok
You know when em says I'm just playing I love you at the end of a song he meant the shit he was saying...Like at the end of killshot telling diddy you know I'm just playing...He ain't cool with Diddy at all...
wtf stevie. i like eminem a lot and you breaking down the bars the way you do, it clarifies a bunch of stuff i've been missing. you better not stop doing these reactions to em's songs bro 🔥
This is my first review of yours, and man I LOVED this review. You are smart. You are intelligent. The way you broke down the lyrics and went deep into their meaning resonated with me. You explained it so well, I was really impressed. Following, watching all the other Eminem videos right now. Keep up the good work. Eminem is deep, and you saw that. Some other reviewers talk about the songs, but not like this. I don't know how else to explain it, but damn, good stuff.
It's crazy to think how much of a double edged sword it was. Like...Em's white privilege helped catapult him to center stage & yet he also got an unusual amount of hate because he's white, both from inside hip-hop by people who didn't understand his story (Lord Jamar types) and from people outside hip-hop ("white america") who were scared of his honesty and the impact that it might have on their kids. No wonder Em was so angry at times.
White privilege is a myth
Eminems white privilege? What?? Smh
@@connorwalker2297 Connor. No. Stop it.
Yeah growing up broke in a trailer park in Detroit with a drug addict mother living day to day. Sounds like white privilege to me
@@jontraz5993 literally no such thing. Privilage is based on class and wealth. Asians are the richest.
