First Time Hearing Eminem - “Darkness”(Official Video) Reaction | Asia and BJ

[@Sickness510Bruh]

The entire song is a double entendre. One of the greatest written wraps of all time.

[@jasonrice9973]

Or raps....

[@alankeenan1454]

Chicken wraps

😂💀

[@scottcarr8738]

probably ems most underrated songs ever. nobody can do what this man does in music...

[@davidgonzales-qw6sf]

Bob Dylan.

[@Lemondrop_andBerry]

Right

[@kimzwolinski9919]

This one blew my mind the first time I saw it. The lyrics are just unreal . This is not something I listen to other than watching people react to it but it is one of his best songs In my opinion. Hope you guy’s had a great Christmas 🎄 😊

[@rohwermarc8993]

Unaccommodating, Godzilla, You Gon’ learn, Leaving Heaven, Marsh, Little Engine, Lock It Up from Eminem’s 2020 album are also good which this song is also off of

[@brandonsimmons1695]

Yes. This album is fire. Unaccomadating and Yah Yah Yah are musts

[@winninglifeyo]

The two perspectives merge Em getting ready for a show while the shooter prepares to let it rip so creative

[@frizzlethecat2084]

This song is just absolutely great. Disregarding the discussion about the topic, the song as such is just so crisp and the sample is so well-chosen. I can listen to this over and over. It's just really good to me.

[@lrsrosebud]

As graphic as this is, it’s one of my favorites by Eminem. Probably in my top five.

[@crafty1096]

This is how brain dead Eminem is. He says the shooter has no signs of mental illness then talks about the psychiatric meds the shooter was on. Then he says the shooter is psychotic. Then in the video and playback we hear about all these school shootings then he calls for stricter gun laws. Eminem is such a nitwit. School shooters aren’t old enough to buy guns.

👏This is Em's MASTERPIECE - not just with his lyrical wizardry & double/triple entendres, rhyming schemes, but also the Simon & Garfunkel sample of 'The Sound Of Silence' (Hello Darkness my old friend.....). Next level GENIUS!🐐Remember, Em lost his best friend Proof to gun violence💔 Eminem started the ball rolling by using his platform to raise awareness and encourage change for the better, a HUGE risk, even for someone of his stature - yet KZbin tried to bury it - WTF does that say about society today?? That's why the end of the video is important - asking people to register to VOTE and let your voice be heard! NOBODY needs an unlimited arsenal weapons, NOBODY! At least highlighting this issue is a starting point. 👏Thank you for your reaction - Happy New Year from Ireland 🍀

[@Makaveli13Xroy]

he did this before on "25 to lfie" the only difference is ; on that song you dont know its a full double until the very last line of the song ; which is even better in my opinion ; Darkness just has the better message

[@nancytimmins2436]

The whole song was a double entendre. It's an absolute genius as a lyrical piece. If you listen again, most people thought that Eminem was talking about his own life it was only at the reveal at the hotel window that it all fell into place. It was an absolute masterpiece.

[@MRR-my2yl]

I admire eminem for using his platform to try to change things. This also came out at the beginning of an election year the timing was on point.

[@adgato75]

This took balls to create. Great man

[@kimberlymannino2179]

This song blew my mind the 1st time I saw it. I was at a mall with a mass shooting; and to me the scariest part was hearing little kids giving their parents instructions on what to do. Broke my heart 💔so nothing but mad respect that Eminem would tackle this subject and take such a strong stance.

[@scottcarr8738]

That's a terribly good story to hear. Hopefully you get what I mean, that the kids were trained well enough to teach the others is admirable.

[@Makaveli13Xroy]

[@matstacy6830]

i have watched every reaction on youtube to this song. i still get teary eyed everytime. em is such a GOAT for this song, true masterpiece

[@Mayhemffs]

This whole song meant two different he things. He explained what it's like to be an artist but at the same time described what happened in Las Vegas. Masterpiece.

[@waglefar]

Solid breakdown! you both clearify it to audience at :5:30 / 5:40 whats going down. Thank you for breaking down this musical puzzle, so we can see the message and melody

[@thomasburt8995]

Eminem shed more light on this tragedy than anyone in the Government or network news. This story ran for a day or two, then disappeared.

[@vradarx]

Because it's now become the norm in America, people are desensitised and don't see it as a big deal anymore and that should be terrifying to Americans. Mass shootings should not be normal or happening regularly.

[@cecilfuentes5435]

I was one of the lucky few who came across this song BEFORE the warning label. And I swear, listening to this song without knowing what the topic was about was absolutely amazing.

[@j0hnw1ck28]

I am born and raised in Las Vegas living in Arizona when this happened. When it happens in your city, it hits different but I love this video. A lot of family and friends who were there are happy he made this song and video. This is how you send a message. Not a post on twitter or instagram. Make people uncomfortable, show them what is reality. It’s not easy to watch but it’s real and this needed to be shown.

[@vegasviking86]

As a Vegas resident of 25+ years, this one was a very rough listen the first few dozen times. Still gives me chills. Stay Vegas Strong.

[@kabuto652]

No regrets by Eminem babyyyyy🔥🔥🔥🔥💪

[@LoneWolf-vi7jh]

I couldn't wait to get ya'll reaction of my favorite track and vid of the album this 1 hits and hits you really very hard💯 and also so ya'll would know he is telling 2 stories all at once he's talking about the shooter and himself you just have to listen closer to the lyrics and ya'll get it.

[@mikeodoski2135]

This whole song is a double entendre. Talking about literally murdering a show versus murdering a show on stage. Song is so underrated!! It’s Brilliant!! 🤞🏻❤️Y’all.. Happy new year ! May we all still be watching your reactions this time next year

[@lilmike9882]

This Theatrical Masterpiece is a modern day Stan, the double is him beating his addiction and how the video is beautifully crafted him taking pills and tearing up the stage and the Las Vegas shooting 🤌🏼🤌🏼🤌🏼

[@robertcabrera4760]

Another great reaction guys, thank you for this one💯✊🏼

[@lamstar1]

This is a masterpiece

[@frivgh]

Genius how wrote from two points of view how similar they are from the excitement of doing something big and life changing for some and branch off at the end when you realize he was rapping from the shooters point of view

[@zackd.4412]

Eminem stronger than I was.. Eminem love you more

[@teamdata]

Notice that the media does not report on the mass shootings every weekend in the ghettos of America. Why? This is the question we need to be asking ourselves and who isn't doing the asking. Those people are the ones you need to be aware of.

[@fyvefouroh]

Totally agree, there is a lot of illegal gun violence that is never talked about, yet is happening non stop. The actual problem isn't with citizens that get guns legally and are responsible, its a mix of mental health, media coverage giving unstable people bad ideas and gang violence...

[@rquiles4881]

All song is a double Hes talking about him and the killer at the same time

[@crafty1096]

Here’s your double . You’re a simple minded folk. Eminem says there’s no signs of mental illness then he says the shooter is paranoid. Is that a double? He then talks about psych meds the guys on but there’s no signs of mental illness. Then at the end he loops a bunch of school shootings and calls for more gun laws. School shooters aren’t old enough to buy guns. How come you didn’t get those doubles? You don’t know what you’re talking about.

[@denisekoenig9479]

A lot of ppl get into a funky mindset with mental issues and turn to drugs and the drugs in turn sometimes put ppl in a state of psychosis and that's when they can't get a grip on whats real and what's not. They see and hear things that makes them react in such a way and when it's all said and done they don't even recall what happened and its to late. They need to check mental health b4 issue a gun to just anyone

[@thewisecommunity]

I hope you guys listen again understanding that the song is a double. It's a story about his mind as a performer and at the same time the mind of the shooter. Don't 5hink y'all caught it. But love the reaction. When people say Eminem doesn't rap about anything I tell them to watch this video and STFU.

[@XXDanJRodXX]

Just so you all know most of the song itself is a double entendre. I hope you caught that.

It’s also the first song he did where the whole song has a double meaning. You seen the video (LasVagus shooter). If you watch it without the video the whole other story is how he feels before during and after his shows. It’s absolutely mind blowing! Please listen to it again without the video and forget about the Vagus shooter and it tells a completely different story 🤯 Goated

First of all i don't get it how America still lets free gun ownership with only basic background checks. That being said, the message of the song being 'gun control' it does not mean take ALL the guns away. That's what triggers muricans from what i've seen. It only means proper extensive background checks, it means only distribution of self defense weapons NOT war weapons that could end civilians dozens at a time, means a lot of things. Besides that the song had other messages, here are some: - proper mental illness awareness, identification protocols and medical support - medical system focusing on issuing prescriptions (pills) to combat depression and generally 'treat' the symptoms of mental illness, instead of treating the root cause of the problem - media coverage of this type of events that only incentivize individuals to follow the example of others having a spotlight and national/world wide notoriety after doing such things - Hollywood violence 'normalizing' such thoughts especially when the individual has a noble reason (strapped like i'm a soldier / John Travolta - staying alive by inches) The movie "Joker" 2019 is basically addressing everything Em said on the record. In my point of view, the guns should ALL be taken away. "Ow, how am i suppose to protect myself" protect yourself against what? if there are no guns, the person attacking you would have no guns either. The element of 'surprise' would be non existent since you can't end dozens by surprise without a gun. From my point of view is the other way around: the risk of the other person having the bigger gun is much more likely. It will not happen ONLY because the manufacturers won't allow it, they are making tons of money selling death to american citizens and the government is protecting them. To give you a better understanding: US had just shy of 50.000 deaths caused by firearms in 2021 while EU has about 6000 (most of those being terrorist related, not domestic) while having 120 million more people than america.

[@crafty1096]

Eminem is advocating unstable people not owning guns. Eminem pistol whipped some dude in Warren, Michigan where he is from. Eminem can’t own a gun. You don’t know what you’re talking about. All at the end that he looped at the end were school shootings. Those people already can’t legally own goods. Your breakdown is clueless. In the video Eminem looks out the windows afraid to open the curtains all the way and speaks about Paranoia. Then says there’s no sign of Mental Illness. You are clueless

[@oTurkish13x]

​@@crafty1096 No sign of mental illness does not mean there was no mental issues involved, only that there were no signs of it, that's the whole point, deep rooted issues can lead to an explosive outburst, issues that are not properly identified and addressed due to the medical system preferring to make a buck out of prescribing medication instead of psychologically treating the issue. Eminem even believes in weapon carrying rights, he only preaches control: 'They took away my right to bear arms / What I'm 'posed to fight with? Bare palms?" I'd continue this war of wits about proper regulations for carrying guns but you are obviously unarmed. I'm not from US so i could not care less, it doesn't impact me, it only seems stupid to me to have laws allowing any basement dweller or keyboard warrior or 200 year old citizen with nothing to lose or 5 foot 70 pounds scrawny bullied 21 yo kid or any ill intended cutpurse or home invader or depressive sui cidal person at the end of his wits or what have you the means to end tens of citizens at will on any misplaced whim. Happy Holidays!

First of all, I think that many misunderstand the statement. I think he wanted to show that you don't need masses of weapons. Many misunderstand this and think he wants to say that it is generally against weapons. but nobody needs an army of weapons. Sorry I'm from Germany. My English is not that good. Good reaction from you

[@globalizacionliquida]

In USA the people can't understand this......I don't know why but they don't wanna change their laws in spite of children die for that reason.....for me is imposible to get.....but they are like that......I'm from Uruguay.....in my country nobody have a weapon because the government put so many restrictions to have one.....besides that culturally it is not well seen to have a weapon

[@fyvefouroh]

@@globalizacionliquida Deal is, when the people don't have weapons to fight back, there is absolutely no fear and no stopping the government from turning into a dictatorship where all must comply or die, kinda like Germany with the whole Nazi thing... We are all Americans and we should all understand the importance of keeping guns in the hands of responsible and law abiding citizens. Just because we understand the importance of guns doesn't make us rednecks either... There will eventually be so much restriction on guns that no one will be capable of actually getting one that's "legal". Though, it won't be a problem for all the felons/criminals out on the street that have always had illegal firearms and take countless lives. The major problem is the illegal gun violence that is occurring but not shown since its mainly black on black. We the people should not be punished for the acts of criminal trash and there needs to be more done for mental health. I also believe that all the media attention on shootings, while informative, give people who are unstable very bad ideas. Here's a PDF I found after searching about gun control in Germany -> wyoleg.gov/InterimCommittee/2019/01-201910313-04Handout.pdf
