Eminem - Bonnie & Clyde - Reaction - Taking Toddler Talk to a WHOLE NEW LEVEL.

Man, what do I say on this one? Yet another example of an incredibly perfect set or bars put to Toddler Talk. Man, this guy is insanely creative!
This is my musical reaction, breakdown and commentary analysis of the song. I intend no copywrite infringement and this is not a replacement for listening to the song. I have paused and also speak over the song. My hope is to bring more interested listeners to download this music from the artist. Your consideration of removing this block is very much appreciated.

@@Connorderechte I don't know man. 'My Name Is' is a bit of a gimmick. Always was. It's a fun little comedic song. From The Slim Shady LP, the best songs (in no particular order) were; Guilty Conscience Rock Bottom As The World Turns Bad Meets Evil Brain Damage My Fault '97 Bonnie and Clyde.

[@notquitehuman7402]

Just because you didn't catch the "2 more things out the trunk" - he killed step dadda and little brother too. You hear about it in Kim where he's telling her how he will frame it as a murder suicide. You're so right about the baby talk; I'd never thought about the context outside of the song (during recording); the fact he was writing such a dark song and included the baby talk with Hallie... his mind was in a dark place for sure.

[@del8224]

I think this song is genius. The subject mixed with the tone of voice, it just tells such a vivid story. Morbid and fatherly, gruesome and caring. What a mind he has, a real talent for story telling

I can't believe you're going this deep into the rabbit hole. This should be good. I think you will really enjoy some of the stuff because you have taken the time to appreciate the artist that he is. When this album dropped I had it on a cassette tape and I was just playing it over and over and over again on my Walkman haha And also I think you should react to the entire Marshall Mathers LP

[@mikheilmikeladze6800]

I've listened to this song for like 200+ times and my reaction is still exactly the same as yours, that's what kind of genius Eminem is

[@SantosChronicles]

This was what mad an eminem fan. After getting the CD in college, my friend and I just listed to the album from beginning to end. The crying laughter was our reaction also. Such a shock and awe. Looks like you found a favorite em song.

[@jdkilpatrick2000]

I was so hoping that you would switch up your schedule to get to this and “Bad Husband” more quickly! Thank you! 😁 And again, props for having the ability to appreciate the art in this. As to the question of if Eminem was singing the “Just the two of us” part, he was. I think that it may have sounded different to you because the melody and the harmony were both on the mid-to-lower end of his range. On most of the tracks where Em sings, he sings the melody higher in his vocal range, and then layers another vocal line a fifth and/or octave lower. (Side note - to hear Proof, check out “When the Music Stops.” His voice was so cool on that track - really dark, menacing, gravelly sounding.) I feel so torn on this song. So, I’m an ICU nurse - that requires having a dark, morbid sense of humor to survive. And I don’t know why, but I’m always up for watching serial killer documentaries. 🤷‍♀️😂 Despite that, I have a really hard time listening to “Kim.” I think because the tone was so serious, and I can’t imagine being her and hearing that song. So, I want to not like this song, because it is the sequel to the one song in Em’s catalogue that I have a hard time stomaching. But, the tone here is so radically different. It is clearly dark comedy, and frankly, the baby talk to Hailie (and Hailie’s cooing) is adorable. 😂

[@Mike_H76]

If you want to hear this song in a more chilling way try out Tori Amos' cover of it. My lady loves Tori and I've never been a fan of her... unique... style. I do respect that she covers songs from all genres that move her in a certain way and also, the one concert I brought my lady to... she's honestly quite a good singer and performer! kzbin.info/www/bejne/h2WQk4uJarF9fa8

[@DodonaWind]

​@@Mike_H76 I was also going to tell @larryshair to check out Tori's version! It's so hauntingly dark! A fantastic rendition!

[@huro1845]

This is the sequel to "Kim", but was actually recorded and released a few years before that (1997). It was on the Slim Shady EP, the demo Dr. Dre heard, and then on the Shady LP.

[@zombiegoatt4282]

1 thing to remember Eminem wrote this song at a time when Kim's parents wouldn't allow him to see Hailey. So he wrote about his anger over that situation. Eminem has always said it's better to put his anger into a song than to let it build up and explode and become real. I think the 2 things pulled out of the trunk in the end are the stepfather and son.

[@Fozzie420]

Another Eminem song you'll like and find interesting is "Yellow Brick Road" When Em was 16 him and Kim broke up and he started dating a black girl, she two-timed Em, he recorded a song that got leaked years later that people called racist and misogynistic, targeting black women. Yellow Brick Road is him making a public comment about it an explaining himself through a song. You'll also like "Say Goodbye Hollywood" the song was written about Eminem needing to get out of public view, leave California, go back home after his legal issues from confronting a guy that was with Kim at a Club. The guy claimed he was pistol whipped and Em was charged with serious felonies, he felt the pressure of being a celebrity and needed to escape his life he felt trapped in.

[@chickenwar1]

He said multiple times that he doesn't want people to spoil too much about the song bro

[@properwelshy3851]

Stan refers to this song when he tells Em 'If I have a daughter, guess what I’ma call her? I’ma name her Bonnie.' Em was much more playful with his story telling back in the early days. His focus as he's matured seems to be on clever word play which is cool if you like trying to catch the meanings behind a lot of his stuff. For me I preferred the silly and more relatable stories that he would tell. Definitely Rock Bottom, If I had and As The World Turns should be on your list. Im buzzing that you've made it to The Slim Shady LP though 🤙👌

Many aren't story tellers and it's a lot of regurgitating about the same things over and over. Em definitely gives us a variety of personas and content. There's something for everyone. :) Em said back in the early 00s, that he wanted to make sure his music is different, that nothing was the same and that his career would have longevity because of it. And... his plan worked. We never know what's going to come at us next and we're always patiently waiting for the next work of art lol.

Hey Larry. Love your channel. In case you don't already know: - "Bonnie & Clyde" was in "Slim Shady LP" (SSLP) album which came out in 1999. - "Kim" was in "Marshall Mathers LP" (MMLP) album which came out late in 2000. So Kim is a prequel which came out later. - "Stan" also was in MMLP and released as the third single off that album. So Stan imitating Eminem in the song was based on "Bonnie & Clyde" (obviously because Kim wasn't released yet). There are a lot of other references in "Stan" to other Eminem songs which is why I suggest you listen to it once again after you fully listened to SSLP and probably MMLP (just to make sure you don't miss anything).

A few Eminem recommendations: Not sure if the links will work in a comment. Yellow Brick Road, 2004: The song goes more into his rap beginnings. Early friendship with Proof and relationship with Kim. (For context, a part of the song talks about a different girlfriend who had broken up with him and it made him so upset he made a song about her called Foolish Pride.) - kzbin.info/www/bejne/h5nXaZKFmbOsodU&ab_channel=Eminem-Topic Say Goodbye Hollywood, 2002: One of my favorite Eminem songs. He talks about how his overwhelming success started to ruin his relationships and how he wanted to get away from it all to focus on being a normal person and a better father. (For context, in the first part of the song he is referencing him seeing Kim with another guy (a bouncer) at a club and how he ran up and pistol whipped the guy and was charged for it.) kzbin.info/www/bejne/hnzZonx8iaiJj9k&ab_channel=Eminem-Topic 25 to Life, 2010: This one is about his controlling and toxic relationship and how he is breaking out of it and becoming independent and standing on his own (This isn't super story heavy but gives good context into his life when he was at the height of his career, this one will require two listens to fully understand) kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJjRmGuLrt6UfbM&ab_channel=Eminem-Topic
