[@americanzombie1802]

This album is a reaction to the backlash of his first slim shady album. He felt because he’s white, is signed with dr.Dre, and had some catchy sounding songs, he got lumped in with pop groups at the time that were on MTV all the time like a N sync, Backstreet Boys, Ricky Martin etc, so he decided to make an album with even worse lyrics to piss off he critics even more, and to further separate himself from the pop acts on MTV.

[@sjn6704]

Kind of true. Some of the lyrics on I'm Back, Marshall Mathers and in particular The Way I Am were a response to that, but overall most of the album was already written by mid-late 99 and was originally titled Amsterdam - it was mostly a response to the controversy that his violent/drug content caused, not being a pop act

[@Sunny-jz3dy]

😂😂 gotta love it!

[@ShieldandBucklerMusic]

I remeber bumpin this album on my cd player while in Middle school. Legendary LOL

[@lordbunbury]

Stan, The way I am, The real slim shady were all made with MTV in mind. Acting as counter popular culture, while being THE popular culture. It’s all marketing. Has always worked see Nirvana and Pop Punk, etc

[@marcdelossantos4135]

In fact, almost every album is a reaction of what the last album did. The Eminem Show is a reaction too, Encore too. Recovery too in a way. Kamikaze it is too....

[@trajectoryunown]

Man, your dad's a cool cat. It's awesome that he recognizes the shock value for what it is without letting it affect his sensibilities. Slim Shady always came with exaggerated levels of violence and sheer absurdity back then. Still astonishes me that people took those kind of cartoonish lyrics seriously.

[@Taznar]

If you guys do more Eminem albums you might want to give your dad a quick run down on Eminem and a little about his personal life/career because that is one of the big reasons he is so popular. People feel like they know him personally because of all the details about his life that he puts into his music, and it kind of makes the music sit differently with you when you form that connection and understand where he is coming from.

[@tariqtaujoo9657]

You are so right. Eminem was a battle rapper. And imagine how tough it gotta be, well as a rapper and as person too.a white boy in the 90s era, where there was no white rappers before him, well very few except that vannila guy and beastie boys.imagine the toughnest of the guy.

You really think his pops wants to cram in 25+ yrs of Eminem history? Lol. I'm a die hard Em fan too but we all gotta be realistic

Recently lost my mom. Not long ago I heard a song that just resonated with and I could think why. Then one day it dawned on me that it was one of those songs I would have shared with her right away. Then she would have gone down the rabbit hole listening to the group looking for more…..it was a really hard week when that hit me. But it’s also what is helping me work though the loses of the recent years.

I think Drug Ballad might be one of Eminems best song. The lyrics are so damn good and the beat is so solid.

[@CanWeGetDeep]

Agreed.

[@mattlawrence1932]

Yeah it's definitely one of those songs u skip on a first listen but it's also one of those songs that grows on u after u let the whole album play back to back from front to back just like the songs "Who Knew" & "I'm Back" & "Amityville" & "Remember Me" cuz the album is so good so u let the lesser known songs & songs with the beats that start off a little slower at the beginning just play all the way through & thats when u finally realize u are really stupid for misjudging those type of tracks or beats & realize it's actually a hidden classic or masterpiece of a gem I found but still it's hiding in plain sight at the same time 💯 It's like fine aged wine when u really think about it cuz it has to grow on u💯 I think alot of the best songs on all albums are the ones that need a couple listens before they hit u correctly in the right way💯 Honestly this whole album ain't really got a single bad song even all the lesser favorites eventually became the favorites after u listen to all the most well known hits & catchest ones first 💯 It's fucking crazy how good the tracklist really is on this album & I might like some albums better but the tracklist on this one is perfect & everything goes together perfectly, it might be the single best tracklist on a album of all time💯 even if he got songs that u like better in his other albums, this one is masterfully back to back perfectly put together in every way even the lesser songs are all classics no doubt 💯

I’m sure he felt a bond due to that and an opportunity to make connections by getting close to a sitting a president. But Kanye has definitely had his share of political critiques.

I love your channel and your chemistry. Please do never change this concept, it‘s perfect! Ever thought about introducing your dad to a Quik album? Rhythm-al-ism? I‘m sure he would love the production side of it!

[@alexm2930]

Eminem is a syllable machine really dissecting all punctuation and stretching all pronunciation of a word

[@travengreenzweig7246]

The Steve Berman skit is exactly what it sounds like. The story is that after submitting this album for approval, he was told it was good but didn't have anything to market as a #1 hit. In anger and frustration Eminem produced and recorded "the way I am" which was the 1st beat that he himself produced. That gives the line "let's face it, I'm not gonna be able to top what "my name it," so much more meaning. Immediately after, he's supposed to have recorded "the real slim shady," then handed the album back to execs and told them "there's your hit." That's why those 3 tracks are in that order.

This was a great watch for someone like myself who can't sit down and listen to Eminem with my father. Thank you for this!

[@lustwaffe9000]

I am so jealous. I always wished I could do stuff like this with my dad, but he just cant fuck with rap music at all. You are one lucky son.

[@simonkarlsson1151]

I'm so glad that you took the last part in vers 3 of ''I'm back''. I find those bars hilarious and allways have to rap wtih EM everytime it comes. Great seeing the reaction from your dad, as everyone I show that song and part, get from it!

D12 has 6 people in it but they once said that combining their alter egos (Eminem/slim shady) and their real names technically makes 12 members

[@Sunny-jz3dy]

Right! I forgot bout that!

[@lightningzoldyck2974]

I would always recommend anyone to listen to this after SSLP cause the concept and themes and what Eminem is going for is better understood that way, in a way MMLP to a reaction album to outrage people had with SSLP, anyway nice reaction and I like what you're doing with the channel.

[@Samoan_Metalhead]

The Slim Shady LP is highly underrated. "If I Had" is my favourite track. Plan to get SSLP, MMLP, Eminem Show and D12 - Devils Nights on vinyl records because of its vivid storytelling and nostalgia

[@lightningzoldyck2974]

@@Samoan_Metalhead If I had is my favorite track too, in fact it's my favorite Em song.

[@leoninho321]

I´m a big Classic Hip Hop Fan from Germany and i really enjoy these videos. Eminem is by far my favorite Artist and I like how your father reacts to the songs and I'm sure if your dad listens to more albums from him he will become a little fanboy. I am curious about the next reactions

[@yesmyninja6850]

yea i wasn‘t into em at all but from the first album probably the first song i checked out i was like „yeah i NEED TO HEAR ALL OF HIS SHIT“ his steady evolution is amazing and exciting to watch i love every album but my favorites are probably:recovery,mtbmb,tes,mmlp2,revival and infinite

i agree with what you said about The Eminem Show.. This album is a masterpiece my favourite album of all time. I was 10 when this came out and it was my 1st album I ever brought. It has a very special place in my heart. It has to be up there with one of the best Rap albums EVER.!

[@johntiqual]

1:07:52 Haven't seen anybody commenting on this yet so here I go. D12 were actually 6 members not 12. Eminem, Proof (R.I.P., which also was Eminems mentor and backup MC in live shows and concerts) , Bizarre, Kon Artis (which is also a producer and became Eminems backup MC after Proofs death), Kuniva and Swift. But every member has an alter ego like eminem and slim shady. So every member counts for two so they called themselves D12 or the Dirty Dozen.

[@kalpanaarora7214]

Eminem fans love to see the journey of an newbie eminem listener to becoming a stan

[@andrewwaggoner6140]

Yo you guys are fire! Also just so you know the song “kill you” wasn’t a beef/dis track it was meant to insult the critics, the karens, that take his lyrics too seriously. So basically it’s all a troll song. Eminem just likes to do what everyone hates. So I think what when he was coming up along with the artist like Marilyn Manson, who he gives a lot of credit too, he liked that people were so upset about his graphic hardcore lyrics and wanted to push that narrative which is genius

[@BlazeDmD]

this album and chronic 2001 is what got me into hiphop as a kid I like your dads genuine reaction to all these albums Keep the videos comming and greetings from Belgium ps: D12 stands for the DIrty Dozen Which contains 6 members each with an alter ego.

[@Darkone2k9]

You know an artist is to good when you find yourself bopping along to incest lyrics lol

[@misterdneh]

I remember my dad not allowing me to listen to Eminem back in the day to the point where I had to try to record his songs on tape off the radio when they came out! Then one year I got the bleeped version of D12 for Christmas which was okay I guess but these days swearing is just apart of showing your true human emotion. The lyrics though I memorized & listened to them a lot now I'm 32 & my "White Chocolate" (that's what everyone called me 🤣) days come out sometimes & if you seen me you wouldn't even think I wore my cloths baggy & enjoy rap/hiphop 😎
