should do evil twin next
@@ThatLazyOtakuVT yes
You should do Joyner Lucas “I’m not racist”
"Bad Guy" is a must, since it ties into this song.
@Meds the way the albums tie together is just a masterpiece in lyricism .
This is one of the greatest songs of any genre, ever. Without even watching the video, just listening to it paints a movie in your mind. Creative genius
I remember hearing this on Trevor Nelson's radio show, when I was in school. And it blew me away.
@@AGfrom83 it's one of those songs that I wish I could hear again for the first time. I obviously loved it straight away but as like an 11 year old I didn't understand how brilliant it was.
It's such an immensely powerful song. Takes me back and puts me right to where I am now at the same time.
im not an em fan, but anyone knows this.. truth for real. and so influential as well
Das cap, best song ever is
Lil Pump - Gucci Gang
Dude, the goosebumps when he says " he's name was... he was you... Damn... " everytime !
ikr, i get goosebumps every time.
Yeah, me too
Ditto !!
I'm sure you've seen it, but at the end you see Stan in the reflection when the lightning strikes
I swear bro
Hey dad, just want to say that you’re amazing. My dad has never tried to relate to me on this level. Ever. I have young children now and I aspire to be just like you. May not be your thing but making yourself available means everything. Your son is very lucky to have you. The world needs way more dads like you. Thank you.
agreed
Well put brother. From father to father..I always give my kids my undivided attention and even try to get into whatever they are interested in. I feel you bro. My pop could never show interest like this ever either..its always a stupid joke n says can u play these songs at your Wedding. Funny but when you hear it soo many times you just give up n basically have to bond on whatever they like. Like Baseball games where he falls asleep in 3rd inning lol.
I do same with my daughters and share my music with them.
i relate to this msg never had a dad but a step pops and hes not a bad guy he treats my fam good but itd be nice to have a genuine father figure who even tries to relate to me.
Andy mate, what if you made a greater effort to connect with your father? Could _you_ be more open and honest perhaps? If it's appropriate of course, the results might surprise you. I am painfully aware of how limited our time is, and that is where my message is coming from. Peace.
My dad died when i was 13, so seeing this makes me happy! You guys seem to have such a good time together listening to music and talking about it. Cherish it!!! Its a beautiful thing!
So did mine however I’m only 14 now and my dad loved Em
@@andrewtateismydad006stay strong man. It gets easier with time, promise.
Yeah exactly. My dad died when i was 13 too. Now i am 34. @frontroom Enjoy this relationship
Me seeing this fatherless since 7
my dad's been smoking for as long as i can remember and im always fearful that he's gonna drop dead at any moment of any day, sorry for your loss
if you listen closely the first verse stan is coherent and on speaks on beat, the second verse stan starts to speak off beat and by the third verse stan is completely off beat and sporadic- a masterpiece.
Yes, that’s so true! Thanks for the observation. - Kai’s dad
I literally just noticed this today!! And I’ve heard this song 100 times
Eminem is simply put a lyrical genius.
Never noticed that before! So good!
@@desiredrapfilms that's eminem for ya. doesn't matter how much you dissect a song, if you listen to it a week later you're still gonna catch things you missed the first 15 times haha
This was one of the first songs to really address serious mental health issues at a time people were STILL embarrassed by them. It's such a real story and speaks to so many people that it's helped to open the door making mental health a more discussed topic.
true!
I agree that this is a mental health story, in many ways a textbook visual of chronic ptsd and BPD….but I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention that your comment is made through the a modern day lens and speaks very little to the actual cultural impact the song had on the world at the time…
It definitely pointed to fan obsession, but if it was a call to mental health awareness, Stan would have never become a word in the dictionary to define what it defines…
And if it had the cultural impact you’re purporting, the Grammy performance with Elton John wouldn’t have been the massive step it embodied in culture- and the release of the Recovery album would have never signified his return to form as an artist and first steps towards the perception with which the public views em today.
Less than zero percent of the public was viewing this song as a call to mental health awareness back then, it was still looked at by critics of ‘em as another track dedicated to violence from a homophobic, toxic influence on society… so much so that Elton John offered to perform the song with em at the Grammys bc he though public perception of ‘em
Was in his words, “bullshit”
We can certainly reflect on the tracks deeper meaning and larger significance through the lens of the world today, but speaking as if today’s lens had meaning to the realities of the US culture 20 years ago Is simply out of touch with the world at that time.
Celebrity stalkers were a rising concern at that time, Em was coming off his first major album when he wrote this… it’s the second actual song on the album… (track 2 is kill you, 3. Is Stan) the way I am and the real slim shady don’t come til tracks 7 and 8 despite being the first two singles released from the album… and Kim, which doesn’t come til track 16 was the first song recorded for the album ( and lyrics to Kim were alluded to on more than one occasion in Stan).
Em was not in a great place with himself , his family, or society when this was written… and he had a long way to drop before intentional themes about mental health could ever be argued were thoughtfully considered a purposeful element of this song…
Rock Bottom on the other hand…there’s a song that had relevance to em at that time, and had influence in the time…. Esp considering 8 Mile was about to be released
@bd4947 I mean respectfully I disagree...It's a song about a guy slowly becoming more and more obsessed/parasocially attached as he's losing his mind. I was alive when it was released, and I'm not sure you can speak for the entirety of the "culture" at the time. "Stan" debuted at 51 on the top 100 and went on pretty quickly to become a cultural phenomenon. I'm not sure why you think people's interpretation of Stan had such a direct impact on his career either or why certain things wouldn't of happened the way they did. He was far from downhill or becoming irrelevant as two years later he'd release "the eminem show" an album that I'd argue was much more popular than "recovery". Recovery is titled as such because he was literally on recovery for Vicadin and some other stuff, and was 10 years later, its not relevant in my eyes. Regardless the song ends with Eminem saying the guy should be seeking a mental health counselor in a sincere way. Stan is literally a combination of "stalker" + "fan", and if you don't think stalkers, alcoholics, or people with suicidal ideation have a mental health problem idk what to tell you.
Yass!!
Eminem doesn’t get enough credit for talking about it first
That moment at 9:24 is exactly why people show others the songs they grew up with.
Him looking at his dad after the "ohhh boy.." comment with a smirk on his face shows you how much he enjoys seeing his father really feel this song.
That's so precious. Legendary song, super cool reaction!
Dad almost cried and thats a testament to how amazingly this story is played out. It's visual even without the video. Amazing writing.
He was definitely tearing up at the end of the song. Great to see :) That's how powerful this song and lyrics are.
I know your dad would love to hear Mockingbird, it's the perfect next step in his discography concerning in terms of the progression in this Slim/Em story. You see the reality of his domestic situation behind the exaggerated accounts, and just how tragic, complicated and in ways beautiful it really is. He truly loves his children in spite of his fractured relationship, and wants them to make it through this messy stage in their early lives to become good people, but Eminem has to be a paternal figure from the sidelines, and the song is in many ways showing his hopes and his grief felt during the first two albums, the tragedy he can't express except through Slim.
Mockingbird will make him cry
@@SergioTorres-nt1xm Mockingbird + When I'm Gone in a single video maybe? There'll definitely be waterfalls.
Definitely next!
@@jakovgjor4e Hailey's Song should be in there too
Let him get a little bit of this side of Marshall just to broaden his perspective of him.
Did you or your dad notice that after Eminem says damn, when he realises it was Stan, the lighting flashes and you see Stan looking at him through the window. I love that added element almost like he's still obessed with him even after death.
Bro, i dead watched this video so many times and until u said this i hadn't noticed this at all
Yoooooooooo!!!!! I never noticed that!!!!
Never ever noticed that and I never ever would have. God damn it hits so much harder this time around
Damn, it make me goosebumps. After all year i hear this song, i never noticed that.
Or haunted by him, it's how I took it. Really good detail to put in there
This is now OUR dad.
What a legend of a human being.
Love the videos fellas. Please keep it up 👍
Forgetting the fact I'm a huge Em fan.....I just think it's really cool the relationship you seem to have with your Dad. That's awesome for both you!!
Yeah 🙂🥲
This song is a masterpiece, but your dad is a real treasure, how he feels, experiences songs, shows how sensitive he is. I wish you both a lot of happiness and good health. Keep doing it!
Yeah what a good guy he is. I rarely speak to my Dad, I wish I had a relationship like this with anyone to be honest.
@@NoName-ql1wk My dad died in a car accident when I was 3 months old. That's why I had no relationship with him. So, I can`t lecture you on that point also... but do know that I would give anything to meet and talk to my dad.
@@NoName-ql1wk its not too late to start one
i lost my dad , we weren't close, but i wish he was still here so we can start bonding
@@malonetg sadly some dads don't want it.
@@DirtyJamesUK my dads new boss purposely will go out of town for work 5 days a week and only spend two days with his kids who aren’t bonded to him 😢
Hey there dad...as a listener from your musical era with kids of my own, I want to express my ultimate admiration for you and your thoughtful responses to this song.
Thanks, Suzanne!
🖤
Are you jewish?
@@randomfunz3319 no devlish
@@edek.7510 thought so
Loved this reaction. BTW, Dido’s name is pronounced Dye-dough. This refrain for this song actually comes from the beginning of a love song of hers called Thank You.
Stan was an absolute masterpiece. The video was great too to help visualise the story, I had that on repeat for the entire year when it came out.
My favorite song of all time
I absolutely LOVE how you and your dad can BOND through this...through music. Yall both sit and discuss so many genre's of music. This is truly amazing. Yall are both going to remember this forever. God Bless you both.
Oh and Perfect Song to show your dad.👍
my dad and me bond on weed lol
@@jimmybobsap8729 that good too
Cool dad
Hello beautiful are you single?
It’s beautiful isn’t it? Look at the way he (sorry, I don’t know their names) looks at his dad and listens intently and respectfully to his opinion (and vice versa).
It restores my faith in humanity.
Your dad def needs to get to know another side of Eminem, so I'd love to see some 'Mockingbird' and 'When I'm Gone' reactions ❤️🔥 Also, maybe, 'The Way I Am' :) Thank you
Toy soldiers would be great too
@@1stutterafter absolutely
I would like to hear him listen to some of Ems new music like Darkness
Also I recommend Castle and Arose, they are two separate song but must be done together and listen to very end 💙💙
Yes mockingbird is a must
I live Dido as well, this song was her original and Eminem did an excellent job making his own verses to it. Both excellent artists.
I love this channel. One of me and my late fathers greatest bonding activities was showing eachother music and sitting and listening to it. You've Gaines a subscriber for sure. Just watching you and your dad share this moment made me cry dude. I wish my father was still here so we could do shit like this. I appreciate you for putting these moments on video. Keep doing your thing
Omg, did he just say, “he’s referencing ‘Kim’”? You and your dad are such a beautiful example of what’s possible with investing time in conversing with others.
Thanks Mandy. We’re having a great time, and the comments from our viewers are much appreciated!
He's right. He did reference Kim indeed
@@chune4383 he also referenced "My Name is"
@@shiny-xx8076 yep there are multiple call backs to My Name Is (which took me 20 years to notice lol). In My Name Is Em says “I drank a fifth of vodka, dare me to drive?” which Stan mentions in the car. Later in My Name Is he says “tell my dad I slit his throat in this dream I had” which Stan also references with the line “I didn’t slit her throat, see I’m not like you.”
That’s my absolute favorite thing about Em’s catalog. It doesn’t matter if you’ve heard a song 100 times you never know when the light bulb will randomly go off and you’ll say wow I’m an idiot how did I not catch that before lol
@@chune4383 I suppose it all ties in now, but from the perspective of the song Stan couldn’t have been referencing a song that hadn’t been released yet but it’s crazy how many things Em has weaved throughout all his albums (i.e. “six minutes slim shady you’re on”, or just outright referencing specific songs like Guilty Conscience or the Columbine line on I’m Back)
Stan's brother at the funeral having dyed his hair and implying he was going down a similar path always freaked me out a bit. Also Stan's reflection haunting Eminem in the window when he's realizing that it was Stan that he heard about the news. I always felt that part was representing that irl the thought of fans doing something like this really haunted him. 😬 It's simplistic perhaps, but those things always got me. For Christmas they should react to the Christmas SNL parody of this song they did with with Pete Davidson 😅 edit: 🤔 the Elton John part might make more sense if he's seen the surprise award performance where Elton and Eminem performed. Also kind of an interesting part of music history there.
You may not know this but there’s a sequel to the song called bad guy and that’s about Stan’s brother Matthew who’s grown up
@@SkySouthern273 🤩 Thank you so much I hadn't heard it!!
@@SkySouthern273 Along with Stan, one of the greatest story-telling songs ever written.
this feels like watching a good memory . i like that you are able to sit with your dad and listen to music, feels good. enjoy your time
Thank you so much!
Wow wow wow! What a cool format you have!! Spending this kind of quality time with your dad , and having it on tape is worth gold! I love how your dad is interested in this music and takes his time to understand the music. Beautiful stuff man!
this is the song tha separates Em from most hip hop artists imo. Absolute masterpiece. I love how he was able to expertly write from the pov of both an obsessed fan, then from himself essentially. 4 FULL verses, not the 1 or 2 verse bs nowadays
Totally different genre but you saying that made me think of Chris Cornell when he did "I Promise It's Not Goodbye" - it's a poem a fan wrote, his daughter had cancer (I think) and he wrote the poem from his daughters perspective of "not saying goodbye, but this is the end for me" kinda. It's such a sad/beautiful song, I highly recommend it. He recorded it as a favor for the dad (and of course didn't include it on an album or anything - as to not make money from it, he did it just to do it for the dad) but you can find it on UA-cam
Technically Snoop, Biggie, and DMX had hits prior doing the same. But this is by far the most successful multi-POV song ever released. So that's credit to Em.
Very true statement. The fact is he has alot of song like that. Never love again, darkness, 25 to life, which are total double entendre throughout. bad guy (stan pt. 2) may have one of the best verses ever on the end. Absolute genius!
@@fsociety7494 also wrote from the pov of different rappers. He wrote Dr Dre's verse on "forget about Dre"
Probably the most accurate statement here. Imo, the songs success, credit to Em, was due to probably a 1 mil dollar budget and the ears of both white and black America, which is a huge number. The other artists, though creatively gifted for delivering originality, didn't hold the same crossover success.
One of em's greatest work...the last part where he says--"it was you" gives me goosebumps everytime...such a great work of art
This is one of the greatest songs ever made. The way he tells the story is just incredible.
What a wonderful video and conversation about an absolutely amazing song. First time falling over this channel, and I really appreciate you guys' conversation and how observant your father is, and how interesting of a conversation he is able to have from listening to a song just once.
Keep up the awesome work!
Great reaction guys.. FYI, the song is a sample from Dido's (pronounced 'Died-oh') own song 'Thank You'. The chorus hook of 'Stan' is actually the opening few lines from Thank You. It was a massive hit in its own right, particularly here in the UK where she was huge in the early 2000's.
Stan is a great example of how you can take a song and transform it from its original meaning. In Thank You the chorus provides the happy juxtaposition to the depressing nature of the verse lyrics. But take that away and make the depressing part the focus, Eminem then cleverly crafts the story of Stan around it... It is in my opinion one of the greatest uses of sampling in hip-hop history.
Yes, but I'd say "Thank You" rode the coattails of this song. Dido wouldn't have been prominent in the US without Stan.
@@MateoMarine I disagree, Thank You was already a big hit before Stan. Dido also had a couple other releases in the US both before and after Stan, so I think it's unfair to say she rode the coattails of the song. But regardless of what you think of her and her music, the point was that this is one of the most under appreciated and clever uses of a sample in hip-hop.
So happy someone commented on his pronunciation she’s not a fucking Pokémon
Echoed what I wrote way better than I 😅😅. I’m not sure if he knew that but that may be why pops felt he’s heard this song before.
@@ibanezman04 thank you came out in 1998. Never entered top 100 charts in uk or us (thus not even airing on the radio), until after stan in 2000, thank you peaked at #3. But regardless of the crap you made up, you have no idea what youre talking about.
Dad is such an empath. ❤ 😊 The sweetest guy. ❤
Greetings from Germany. Just watched the Video and it made me remember how great this Song is and realise that I forgot how great it is. Had chills listening to it. Thanks for the Video. Love your connection
One of the first high quality reaction channels I've seen in a while, really appreciate the professional formatting and genuine reactions, not just viewmongering.
It's really cool how much care you take in working your dad through the song and generally how authentically you both communicate together
Yeah
It’s cool how they really speak to each other 💜
Cherish these moments man. And the fact that you have them on video forever is amazing.
What a song... Love the exploration and observations from your dad. Dope stuff Gents. Well done!
I love watching reactions of people hearing any song for the first time. I wish I could go back and watch my first reactions to songs like this or Everlong by the Foo Fighters. They’re moments like no other.
His impressions of Eminem's stuff is honestly so heartwarming because seeing someone from a completely different generation take Eminem's work at face value is just so rare and cool. Great video, keep up the good work. Everyone loves an awesome dad.
My dad is older (75 currently) and has been into Em since he came out, my dad just loves all kinds of music and he passed that on to me.
I still remember the way I felt the first time I heard Stan. I was probably 7 years old and it absolutely shocked my whole world. I remember telling everyone I knew about the song.
There's absolutely way you understood the significance and brevity of this song at 7 years old...
@@garionlegore4734 no definitely not. But the parts that I did understand blew my mind.
@@garionlegore4734 That's the amazing thing about really good art - music, books, movies, etc. It appeals on many levels. Often we'll have a song (or book or movie) that we loved in our younger years. As we age, we start understanding different things we hadn't noticed or hadn't understood.
Dude, I loved this video and be happy you have a Dad that is willing to sit through that with you and actially listen and connect with you. I tried with my dad on several attempts to appreciate some rap and he just said it wasn't music. He died a year ago, and there's no connecting at this point.

The sequel to that track is called bad guy on the Marshall Mathers LP2. In my opinion it's an excellent point of view from the younger brother. A masterpiece of continued storytelling through albums.
delete this your not supose to spoint its the younger brother
This bot at your reply almost fooled me
I love this channel so much. Listening to an analytical description of a song I have listened too for such a long time is so interesting. Music is a great form of art because you can engage with it intellectually and casually, and enjoy it either way. Plus it is easy to consume because you two are so entertaining to watch! watching your dads reaction and your excitement to explain what is going on is such a relatable feeling. Thank you for uploading great videos you guys!
Really appreciate your comments, Gilbert! More good stuff coming. - Kai’s dad
1:20 hearing him say Kim was "gut wrenching" when we all know he's about to listen to Stan was pretty great. His son kind of smirks and looks at the computer like "you ain't seen nothin' yet..."
That bass at the beginning. You can feel it. Sets the tone for the song. This song solidified Marshall as one of the GOATs. I don't think you will get a hip hop moment like this again. Perfect story telling. Perfect beat. perfect lyrics.
I heard this song thousands of times, but never went so deep to understand the whole story. Thank you guys for this video.
I’m sorry but how could you not understand the story specially listening to it a thousand times… the sign is literally a story and birthed the word STAN the definition of the made word tells the story

Just stumbled on this video, listening to it and to see the facial emotions from your dad when he realises what's about to happen is powerful
Love the wonderful content! It's very comforting to witness 2 generations of music lovers sharing the eternal gift (music).
I think showing pops the video without any disclaimers/spoilers would've impacted him a little more.
Dads reaction at the end questioning if Eminem reflects on the “Stan” character is an EXCELLENT segue into the song “The Way I Am”. I think your dad is kind of expecting Eminem to be sympathetic but his reaction when he hears the apathy and self fueled hatred will be gold.
Yes absolutely
Kai- your song selection has had such a great progression! It’s obvious you put serious thought into the timeline of your songs and the channel as a whole
Bravo!
100%
Your dad reminds me of mine. We both always got excited to show eachother music, even when I got into screamo as a teen, he took me to warped tour and we had a blast.
Love seeing you both vibe ❤
My goodness guys you're taking me down good memories lane, when I thought life was hard and didn't realize the worst was yet to come. Thank yous for the videos, some things from the past weren't all bad, especially when it comes to music, in fact the past is how we got to here it's just that music hasn't necessarily gotten better, we just have more to choose from.
Stan came out 20 years ago and is still a very popular and strong hip hop song. Eminem really came into his own with the Marshall Mathers LP.
Props to dad for listening and understanding...props to the son for including dad and wanting dad to learn. You guys are awesome.
It's funny because age-wise, I'm definitely closer to dad...but generationally, musically, I'm closer to son.
you guys are so talented as reaction video reactionists. so nice to hear the digestion. im a great fan of the dad (:
Hey... just ran across you guys channel a couple days ago and loved it...I love the music...the comraderie, the mutual love and respect... Good on you ... keep up the good work ! I'll stay tuned...
This video is like a movie in itself. So intense, well acted and with a powerful story.
The progression from being an admirer to obsession to outright insanity has never been more well-articulated in a song IMO.
How many songs do you know of that begin with a normal fan that turns insane lol
I'm a stan. I was born in st Joseph's hospital in Canada like him but the u.s. same name. We both went to Lincoln schools. . I have a gorgeous daughter.

You guys seem very down to earth and understanding, i love your guys' relationship. As father and son you seem to really get on well
I wish you guys had gone deeper into how Stan became so popular in pop culture as a term. As for your next Eminem song reaction, maybe go with The Way I Am since you referenced it in this video. Hopefully you guys do some tracks from The Eminem Show as well.
I love these two, they seem so educated and looks like they have a great father and son relationship, I hope I can be like this when my son grows up ❤
Loved the video but most of all, loved watching the father and son connection, what a beautiful thing.
Been watching a few videos, mostly eminem and rap, this reminds me of me and my dad. He never gave it a chance Till I started listening to it and just with his similar intuition understood it the same way. Very cool thing you guys are doing. Helping connect generations, I love it. Keep it up.
Em's storytelling is up pretty high in the list of rappers that do this. I love that your dad gets to see how impressive the writing in the genre is. With that said, The Coolest and The Cool by Lupe are very important listens.
So many incredible Lupe tracks!!. Kick, Push is another amazing storytelling track.
Maaaaan i Loved this. The way you and your father can share this together must be so much fun and educating. I can see that your father was moved and intrigued by this song. It sure pushes some buttons with peoples feelings and insight to rap music. Much love
In my 30’s and I realized that I have begun tuning out the newer music, as I always end up playing music from my younger years and even older classics. Anyway, I know this song by heart, good times.
Your father has done a great job on you humble man.
God bless both
This is really great that you guys get together and do this. You're a great dad obviously. Keep em coming. I love this.
I love watching ur dad's reactions to all the music you play him and how open he is to understanding the lyrics and how he feels the songs and the emotions in the songs and the raps respect to you and ur dad
The way your father changed moods when the last verse is playing got to me. I can relate because the first time I listened to this song the same thing happened to me.
I just discovered your channel. After looking at quite a few of your videos, I was hoping you would play this one for your dad, because this one especially shows Eminem as a poet and not just a rapper. This is excellent!
Welcome aboard!
This is an amazing track. Always has been, always will be in my eyes.
Lovely to experience this again after all this time through someone’s fresh eyes. Good job 👍🏻
The build up to this song was perfect. Appreciate the time and care you took prepare your pops for this.
First time I enjoyed reaction video - there were no stopping and interrupting song with comments. Thank you for that) I could enjoy the song and get its mood)
Your dad have such an amazing reaction every time I watch your videos. This song always gives me chills. I love you guys, sincerely early 90s kid. 🫶🏾
Thank you for doing this and for sharing your dad, it feels like he’s the internets dad and some of us need this 🙂
Great reaction! I think all the eminem songs you have reacted to have been quite dark. Something softer like 'Mockingbird' or 'When im gone' showing his real side and his personal story would be a good next step 👍🏼 I think your Dad would enjoy that Kai! Looking forward to more eminem.
I 👍 agree
oh damn, takes me back to my younger years. eminem was so important to me. my parents hated me listening to him though. wish i could have had a conversation like this w them. thanks for great video, will be exploring more of your videos now
Dad said “oh boy” at the exact right time!!!
I love how he related the song with "dance with the devil". I didn't think about it but the storytelling aspect is exactly the same despite the topic being totally different. Both incredible songs
I'm so jealous of your relationship with your dad. This channel is great and I love to see him discovering your favorite songs. My dad is an alcoholic and does not even bother to check up on his grandson or even to how am I doing. Would love to have such a great relationship with my dad like you have.
Had to subscribe they’re reactions are 🔥 not rushed, not paused too much , I love when they try to understand things about the song or video , I came from the dear mama reaction by pac and seeing him cry I just had to subscribe true reactions not fake and their vibe is awesome ❤ the dad is so innocent and the son just sits back and vibes love him as well
You can see how impactful and immersive the atmosphere he creates is. So insanely good.. loved this one
LOVE SEEING RHE SURPRISE IN KAI'S EYES WHEN HE REALISES HOW WELL HIS DAD UNDERSTANDS, EXCELLENT 👌
This dad has a fantastic memory for only hearing this 1 time.... song gives me goosebumps every time it ends. Top 3 song of all time
You've got a need dad and a cool relationship---how fortunate you are; terrific video.
Great reaction, loved how you explained and pointed out things to your Dad while the song played!
Doing a UA-cam channel with your pops must be such a great experience! Continue the great work guys, God bless!
Watching people react to songs I wish I could hear for the first time again is something insane. I love this channel so much. I have many many more amazing Eminem requests, and possibly ones you have heard either - the both of you! I’m going to look through my list and comment back later LOL!
I'm from germany and when this song released I was 10 years old and didnt understand anything and never knew what this song was really about, but still listened to it every now and then. Now half a year ago I stumbled over it again on spotify, hits completely different now when you understand every last word in it.
Adding to each of the verses, depending on what type of medium is being written or recorded, the soundscapes depicts the action as well. So you get scratching of pen on paper in the first, second and last verse, with the 3rd verse on the handheld audio recorder having a very subtle recording device soundscape . Overall a masterclass in storytelling. I'm a Stan of your son/dad music journey duo
Don't be a Stan. That's the message Em was sending with this.
I love this channel! So nice to see father and son discuss music. Also "in the drink" cracked me up
Ive been waiting on this reaction for the longest
LOVE THE CHANNEL. I love how pops is just so open minded to newer age music and is just completely objective. 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I love the side-eye you are giving your dad the whole time - classic "hoping he catches this part!". 😂
Enjoy the time brother, my dad is my best friend too and we do kind of the same thing but with television..... Treasure these memories bro
Absolute masterpiece of a song. Also love the live version with Elton John.
Your dad has a great ear for music the fact that he doesn’t discriminate new genres and styles and can give a good honest look into it
Also Ik you guys are loving that UA-cam money based on the tans u guys got in this one😂
