Dad Reacts to Eminem - Kim and ’97 Bonnie & Clyde

[@julielarochelle]

What I hear in this song is not the violence, but the pain Eminem felt and tried to exorcise. He wasn't killing Kim. He was trying to kill his love for her.

I was SURE his grin at the end was going to be because he had to break the news that those weren't "crickets" in the beginning of the first song but the sound of Em' dragging Kim's body through the leaves. It really add's a whole other level of psychopathy to '97 Bonnie and Clyde when you realize KIM is what happened directly before it.

She talks about her childhood and how close she was to her dad not knowing the things she did as a young child were not normal.

[@reeferfranklin]

You gotta eventually get to "Hailey's Song" his love story with his daughter is absolutely inspirational, in a way Eminem's career, from Infinite all the up until Relapse is a story of a man being cast into the bowels of Hell only to have his daughter make the heroic journey into the abyss to save him in the nick of time before he was lost to us forever. Sometimes I look into my own daughters eyes & understand everything there is to understand about the man Eminem is.

You guys are so naive. This man comes from a generation where subversiveness was almost like a rule. Provocation was everywhere. Don't you guys know the 70's music ? 70's movies ? Books ? I know every new generation likes to think they are the most subversive that ever existed in the history of mankind - and it's difficult to imagine your parents being rebels because you're supposed to be rebelling against them - but come, just a bit of humility. The song itself is "just" a crime scene like we've seen so much in the movies. The thing is, it's accessible to very young teens who just don't know what to make of it, other than nervously laughing at it and impress their friends with it. I mean, Eminem has a lot to express, no doubt about that... But this piece is so litteral, it's not even artistic. It's just here to impress young people and make them feel like they're rebels to be able to listen to something that's so "different" and "subversive". And it's very embarrassing to know that your son fell into that trap and did not even hear a good song.

You need to show your dad sing for the moment so he can get a full grasp of eminems range so he can better understand why we love Eminem as an artist so much.

[@corylyonsmusic]

Eminem is the definition of not seeing the whole picture of him as an artist, unless you know his actual history and relationships in his real life. Once you do, it completely changes your perspective on his art. Or if you are like me, the Slimshady LP came out when you were in high school, so you've taken the entire journey alongside him and never had to go back and learn the history. It's hard to explain, but some artists make you feel like you are navigating life alongside a peer, who is part of your circle, rather than somebody you just listen to for enjoyment. He is definitely one of those artists for me and they are rare.

To this day, it's in my top 3 songs of Eminem. Kim just takes it to a whole other level. The imagery it puts in your head is crazy. It's so messed up and dark but at the same time, in my opinion, it's amazing art. I've always felt amazed at how he was able to put this together. Making everything rhyme and have it make sense, while getting your message/emotions out there. I feel like this is the best way to show the world what some men go through when they get cheated on. Some men just snap and can't contain themselves. Or what ideas go through some people's, head but never go through with it. Just an amazing/scary song. FYI: I've always wanted a video for Kim. See how artistic he can get with it. But I would want it in cartoon/animation form.

In an interview years ago Eminem said that the song Kim was a love song. He wrote it for his wife and she was the first person to hear it. He played it for her and asked what do you think? Her reply was “you’re crazy. You’re actually crazy”. Eminem wrote this to show his wife how much he loves her in a very strange way. His point was not to shock for the sake of shocking but to show his wife, “this is how much I love you, this is how I feel so strongly about you.” I did paraphrase that last quote slightly but that was the gist of it

To answer Dad’s question if it is shock just for the sake of shock. I don’t believe so. This is an artistic expression of the pain he was in at the time.

[@emillachheb-slatwinski1661]

Something crazy/some back story you might have missed, or just didn't mention: In 97 B&C , Eminem is talking about Kim leaving him for another man with a son. He says to Hailie "..and you don't wanna brother do ya? (Na)"...then at the end of the song he says "..first help dad with 2 more things out the trunk..". Then if you listen to Kim, which is obviously the prequel to the events of 97 B&G, during his 2nd verse, some of his lyrics are so profound that they are even edited out in this explicit version of the album (fun fact, Kim isn't even on the clean version of the album, it's replaced with an entirely different song.) The lyrics edited out are something like "..there's a man and a little boy lying dead in your living room.." He then explains to Kim in the 3rd verse, a scenario where it would look like SHE was the one who committed the murders , leaving him unscathed. "...one of you grabs a knife and he accidentally gets his adams apple sliced...double homicide and 'suicide' , with no note.." just another level of craziness and story telling , that connects the 2 subtleties in the songs. Em is implying that he didn't only kill Kim, but he killed her new husband and his son as well. Pretty F'd up shit from a man who was obviously going through something very serious in his life. Kim also sued Eminem eventually for the song and was devastated when he performed it live with her in the crowd after he promised her he wouldn't.

Fun fact about this song is when asked, Eminem stated that he wanted to write a love song for Kim, but he didn't want to write the typical type of ballad, and that when him and Kim got back together, before they got married, he actually played the song for her. Yes, this is what love looks like through the eyes of Slim Shady. Most of his Horror core actually comes in twin song versions. Just look at 3am, which is a continuation to Framed.

[@theconsigliere8463]

this song was him expressing his feelings from the pain he felt from betrayal, and did it through the best vice he had and that was through the music. its a feeling everyone has felt at a point in their life not necessarily with their spouse, but could be a close friend, family member that school yard bully, and those feelings may not be to that extreme but still in a violent way, and instead of acting on it some people find a vice to channel it. another really good visual rapper thats shocking and he tells stories through his albums he went from gangsta rap to horrorcore after getting shot is brotha lynch hung hes got some stuff that makes "kim" sound like a nursery rhyme and the videos straight out of a horror film. which is what inspired him to go into the genre was to create horror films through his albums.

[@orlandofields1973]

Eminem is a true rapper. He is able to tell stories, say crazy stuff, say stupid stuff, and even some emotional stuff, but no matter what, he has us coming back. Eminem is the best, purest rapper/lyricist to ever touch the mic, regardless of what music he releases now, doesn't taint his status, but it increases his ability and longevity. He has two of the top three best selling hip hop albums of all-time (only behind OutKast's Speakerboxxx/The Love Below). He is America's best selling artists of the 2000s and the 82nd greatest artist of all-time according to Rolling Stone. Within his music, he tells a story. He grew up with his mother, moving all of the time, and dropped out of high school. His music has told emotional tales about his struggles with addiction, his daughter, and, even a fictional story that is one of the greatest poetic songs ever in "Stan". Eminen is a 13 Grammy winner who is sure to win more with his latest album, has shown longevity in a field where many artists fade out after a song or two, and has developed a diverse and special fanbase, so no: Eminem is not overrated; he is one of the all-time great artists.

[@mernaabdelsalam9470]

Absolutely love the dynamic you and your father have! About Kim, for me personally, this song has somehow helped me at times when I was younger when I was full with rage that no one around me could contain. It was a very dark time in my life and I felt so misunderstood and so angry and full of rage. Listening to Kim always somehow made me feel less alone. I do not hear Violence as violence when I listen to this song, instead I hear pain, someone full of rage they are unable to express, so it comes out in the form of some kind of artistic rage? Actually I loved this song way too much in my late teen years, to the point that for my high school French as second Language speaking exam, I chose to talk about this song which was shocking as hell to my teacher. I spent 2 months preparing my foreign language transcript about “Kim” and when I explained the influence of this song, I remember my teacher and the examiner were moved that a song so violent could somehow be therapeutic to some Teen! Important to say I passed my speaking exam with an A+ Haha! I was deeply infatuated with Eminem and “Kim” spoke to me on a level no other piece of music could.

[@mernaabdelsalam9470]

The beauty of “Kim” is that it allows you to create a mental image of whatever kind of dark emotions you are feeling, to let out dark energy you might otherwise have to be on some sort of substance to be able to contain. “Kim” kind of allows for a space to insert whatever kind of imagery to the lyrics that could for some people be helpful to contain unspoken rage that would otherwise be translated into real life violence. Sometimes this song would in a way “therapize me”? Haha, hearing someone else get out such anger and pain kind of does the same for you without actually having to do anything. But again, I had severe depression at that time and needed actual therapy. So I do understand this song might be shocking to many, but for me it was an emotional release to deal with my own anger issues.

It’s been so long since I’ve listened to this. I got chills on the first Just the two of us 🔥

[@otisyoungblood]

This guy was amazing. I didn't think he could top this album. it was so good, but he did

[@jamalwashington6678]

I've seen some of your videos and the true feelings the dad shows are great love the bond they have and him having an open mind for his son's type of music and actually listening. 💯👍👍👍👏👏

[@ryanadamfuzessery2263]

Em's most violent and shocking song but hauntingly beautiful. The hook alone expresses his pain and the emotional range he carries on every note sets it part from anything a musician as ever done before. (Kim)

[@virginialauderdale767]

Side eye from dad at the end of Kim took me out lol😅

[@DrugzMunny]

22:12 "He has to r*** someone, but he chooses not to." Sorry, but that's not what happened. He r***ed her, took the hood off with intent to kill her, saw it was his mom, and jumped off the building. To answer why Dance With The Devil gives chills so much, it's because there are SEVERAL chilling surprises. First, that when Billy Jacobs discovered that the victim was his mom (and Technique meanders into detail about the sacrifices that she had made for him). Him jumping off the roof wasn't a big surprise, but it was dramatic. Technique says he was there with Billy and he r***ed his mom too. He speculates that the devil is in attendance at his live shows. And he concludes that "you better say never. Because a dance with the devil might last you forever." Technique made all sorts of statements that drove home the seriousness of these twists, rather than just saying they happened. "She cried more painfully than when they were ***ing her His whole world stopped, he couldn't even contemplate His corruption had successfully changed his fate And he remembered how his mom used to come home late Working hard for nothing, 'cause now what was he worth He turned away from the woman that had once given him birth And crying out to the sky 'cause he was lonely and scared But only the devil responded, 'cause God wasn't there And right then he knew what it was to be empty and cold And so he jumped off the roof and died with no soul"

[@yairfink8180]

Yeah that part in the video bothered me. I agree with you, and also think that dance with the devil is powerful because of its clear, hard hitting message: "so when the devil wants to dance with you, you better say never, because a dance with the devil might last you forever."

Though the Kim song is pretty dark, it shows great acting as story telling from Eminem, showing mental breakdown in a relationship. He also made it he says to show his then partner how much he loved her or didn't want to be apart (in a perhaps ill conceived way or conjured from a troubled relationship)

[@papii_6669]

Kim always makes me shed a tear or two. Such a sad song 😞

[@nextup91]

Lol quite the opposite

[@EddieWelch-hk8vs]

It sounds more epic than sad

[@Ohms_Won]

Going thu changes off the Recovery album is one of my favorites from Eminem. He talks about his struggles with addiction and kinda clears the air about how he feels about Kim present day.

[@louisegoldsmith1038]

The whole atmosphere changed when kim started 😆 🤣

[@jaredmenichetti4250]

Kim & 97' Bonnie & Clyde is amazing masterpieces of art it's dark but it's still very amazing art etc! 🖤

[@untetheredmoon6971]

This has inspired me to show my parents Kim 😂 Damn, this is so great haha. I cant wait for Stan reaction.

[@Crumbsoftotailtariansim]

The comments on this channel are always fantastic, like a little family in here. 🙂💯

[@frontroom]

Thanks, Jason!

[@Rizkhalifa47]

This channel is so dope i keep watching lol

[@kaoscoconut22]

Fact: on 97 Bonnie n Clyde. After they roll mama off the dock, they grab 2 more things from the trunk (step dad & step brother)

[@tyler-pg6lm]

We need “Mockingbird” and “When I’m Gone” next!!

[@winterwaldo]

that last verse on Kim had your dad absolutely mortified man... "nightmares tonight for sure"

[@allanbeaton5988]

Dads uncomfort levels go through the roof by the beginning of kim lol

[@Xamf11]

Incredible how well painted the situation is. Like a musical thriller.

[@nastyneth]

Grew up to this. Classic material. I think the purpose othe song was almost a way to vent.. imagine being in that situation. The true terror in this song is every man's primal fear losing your woman who you have invested time and resources into, the mother of your child. Your family life was non existent growing and now your new family is destroyed by the woman you trusted betrayal.. a betrayal akin to the one experienced by his mother's neglect and abuse. You see the desire and true willingness to keep his family when you hear his tone with his child at the beginning, its the only piece of honesty and love that can't betray him. In the song he is able to fantasize and fully lay out what he would've liked to do but didn't through this little thought excercise. The graphic nature is not the scary part. The scary part is that a man pushed to the edge can break in a very bad way...there are certain things that can really break a man.. for a man's mother( the woman who is meant to nurture and care for you) to betray you and then the mother of your child to do the same.. man this song is a f**king masterpiece

[@ambassador2memphis]

Ive been waiting to see the Stan Reaction. I cant wait for it.

[@ms687098]

Yesterday by Atmosphere is a fantastic song that I think both you and your father would enjoy. It has an interesting composition and is a bit more fun but still has feeling.

[@gunznbunz2212]

I love that song. Remind me of my dad EVERY SINGLE TIME

[@kristijanzikic1970]

Lol, the ever so slight headbang on Kim while dad's having those expressions, priceless.

[@K1ngAw3som3]

Make sure you play Bad Husband at some point so he can come full circle with Kim. But there’s a few others sprinkled in there that are about her. Spend Some Time is one and Love You More is another. Both are two of my absolute favorites when it comes to the theme of Kim.

[@RichieB_86]

Stronger than I was

[@derbistheeternal2947]

Did not mention that the title 97 Bonnie and Clyde is a reference to the Tupac song Me and my Girlfriend

[@hm-121]

This was a great reaction not sure if I prefer ur dads reaction or yours even though you have heard the song there was kinda a sweet nervousness as to how your dad would take it all in! Great song and great reaction

[@JamesP69]

I LIKE this reaction so much since it seems do genuine. I am a tough prick to please, well done.

[@petecalogeras3217]

Love watching you and your dads reactin vids.Now you got to show your dad another side of Eminem next... do a double song reaction with Eminem of "when I'm gone" and "mockingbird" he will tear up and like him even more!!

[@kw9568]

OMG!!!!!!! I never heard Eminem early stuff. Holy mollie!!!! 😨😓

[@82mccord]

I’d love to be in your shoes and take it all in on first listen again!

[@kw9568]

@82mccord I rather remember him without this song. It's very harsh! 😰😓🤮
