SLIM KEEPIN’ IT A BUCK 🎵 Eminem The Way I Am Reaction

[@profanepersonality]

I literally saw Em dining out, and didn't attempt to talk to him, because of this song, lol. I gave him a "what's up" nod, and he returned it. Then I paid our bill, and left. He didn't have his daughter, but I just figured he deserves his privacy like anyone else. I am a metalhead, but Em is universal to any genre of music, like AC/DC.

The reason Em sounds so different from a lot of modern rappers is because his anger and rage at the time was GENUINE he was actually pissed off at the world he was actually dealing with overly obsessive fans he was actually dealing with labels trying to force him to be someone he’s not. Today it seems like a lot of rappers are trying to put problems on themselves so they can seem like everyone wants them “cancelled” but with em it comes off way more real and natural because it was really his life at the time

And unfortunatly thats why he shouldve stopped awhile ago. He is no longer angry or poor, which was his fire. My opinion, the eminem show was the last good album from front to back for Em. He had a good song here and there after that album. He should just feature in other peoples songs. Lol.

[@joshuarainn951]

The "they think I'm some wigger who just tries to be black" part was inspired by Howard Stern, who interviewed Eminem in 1999 after his debut single "My Name Is" came out and spent the while time asking him when he started "talking black", if he grew up in the hood, etc. It was obvious he thought Eminem was a novelty act like Vanilla Ice.

[@80spurple13]

Lol I just commented about this and obviously he was frustrated cos it's just how he grew up

[@vanhattfield8292]

Some people "listen" to music and some people "feel" music and these two are perfect examples with Brad being a "listener" and Lex definitely someone who "feels" it. I say this after watching many, many of their reaction videos and it was verified by how Brad described why he listened to the music he did when he was younger. Good stuff!

[@SeeJayPlayGames]

I'd wager that Brad couldn't simply learn how to stop "listening" and focusing on lyrics and let go and relax and ride the snake to the lake. Unless he took some shrooms... then maybe that would open up his 3rd eye... or not. Might scare him. Now Lex, I wouldn't want her to stop feeling it, but maybe some vocal focal wouldn't be a bad idea every once in a while. After all of the music they've sampled, you would think some musical knowledge would have seeped in through osmosis, and some has... but a little formal musical training might help make the vocabulary when discussing composition or hooks or whatever... knowledge never hurt anyone. Maybe watch 12tone. Get an instrument. Learn to play something on it. I could see Brad on drums and Lex on guitar.

This song is legendary, not only for Eminem but also in the rap industry and music in general. The beat, flow, delivery..... wow.... It is one of the most important songs in the album back then, and till today it is so iconic. Eminem made a collab with Nike Air Jordan and also released sneaker limited edition Air Jordan 2 The Way I am, and recently he released hoodies and t-shirts. If eminem had a theme including the 10 or 20 better and biggest songs this one would be there. Portugal here for the Goat Eminem always since day one and forever. Thanks for reacting. Salutes Ps: Yes it is Marilyn Manson in the video, the real one and Eminem played his caracter in the My Name Is music video. M. MANSON was so controversial back then too and everyone were balming artists like him, Eminem etc saying they were bad influences for the youth. Eminem has always been real, raw, true and transparent since the begining that's why he is so loved worldwide and respected.

I can see the lights turning on in Lex's eyes half way through the song this is so refreshing watching someone discovering new things. And Lex previously you were 100% correct if you really want to know the artist go back to the start and begin there. You can follow along with his life timeline by listening to his songs from the beginning he talks about his life trials very vividly through his music timeline. And yes I will say this you are learning about the Greatest Rapper Of ALL TIME!!! Much respect to Rakim, Biggie, 2 PAC, Jay Z , KRS ONE and the lists go on from there. But in The Games exact words no one wants beef with the whiteboy!!!!

Yeah, it was a reference to Columbine. They were Manson fans, and the media went hard trying to blame him. And no, Charles Manson was around long before Marilyn Manson. 😀 But his stage name is based on Marilyn Monroe and Charles Manson. “The best and worse of the 60’s,” is how he explained it. This is one of Em’s classics. And for you younger folks, he was by far the biggest celebrity on the planet at that time. And before streaming services, if you weren’t inline the morning it came out, you weren’t getting it for a week or more. Pirating was happening through P2P, but many of us had slow ass connections and many of the uploads were poor quality.

[@RaefonB]

Yeah, a big part of understanding '90s/2000s Eminem and rock/metal is remembering how many manufactured boy bands and girl groups we were surrounded by; they dominatd the charts. If you were lonely/angry/going through some shit, pop had nothing to offer back then (whereas now, at least some harder rap and metal gets played on mainstream radio...I think?) Eminem spoke out directly against how meaningless pop was, it was great, and of course he got hate and backlash for it, so he spoke out against that too. :)

[@george3710]

U guys have such thoughtful reactions, the time u take imagining what the artist is “thinkin”, “feelin”, or meaning right or wrong I respect it…Em is one of the RARE artists that allow u directly into his thoughts & mind…imo it’s what grew his fan base to such staggering proportions, honesty is not somethin we see from artists today everythin is filtered by media or a PR Team etc..so I’m w/ u guys ppl today speak on issues they’ve never experienced or comment in areas where they’ve got no knowledge..I think the why’s it feel is “DIFFERENT” Lex is referring to is EM’s cadence, tone, & passion the venom behind each word comes from experiences he had around this time: - a DJ or radio host tried to call him out sayin Em lied about where he grew up & bein a battle rapper - the media was ridiculous not only did radio completely BLACK BALL EM’s music but blamed him for kid mutilating themselves etc. - mother’s literally picketed outside Congress tryin to have Em music shut down completely not just radio play but distribution of CD’s Not even gettin into his personal issues cheating wife or constant court appearances

I love Metal, Hard Dance and Classical. Eminem is up there too.

I loved the conversation you guys had about overly vocal theoretical speech. You're both very insightful.

Sing For The Moment would be a good one to do next

[@yvettestevens2324]

This was the song that got me listening. That album was a game changer in my mind.

[@XpD78]

There's a good story behind this song too, I don't remember it all that well though. But it was something like this : The Label wanted him to record another song like "My Name Is" because they thought that it will blow up again like the original. Wanted him to do something "pop-ish" I guess. But he was so pissed off about it and all the controversy that was circling him at that time, that he recorded this song instead. And he wrote it on the way to the studio too I guess. Song go hard AF 🔥

Eminem - sing for the moment. Explains how people view his music in that too

[@KJ-hn1gj]

You need to do some Limp Bizkit, Break Stuff, if you need to get out some aggression!! Lol, that has always been my mad song 🤣

Pollution 💥

[@Hobobillz]

Shout out to manson in the video. Em and manson back in the day like late 90s and early 00s were the 2 reigning kings of shock in the music industry. So it was cool to see their kinship.

Ok that’s it. Y’all need to react to Marilyn Manson. Start with “ this is the new sh*t”, and “beautiful people”

[@Bozemanjustin]

I second the beautiful people. I was country /bluegrass back before country went pop/rap. Certain music crosses lines. Rage against the machine, Dr Dre the chronic album, bob marley legend album, Queen and all the way back in the mid 80's BEASTIE BOYS...one of the pillars hip hop is built upon.

[@davidboucher3584]

Make sure you do the uncensored version oh “this is the new sh*t”. Don’t do the one that says “this is the new “hit” “

[@jashn]

Beautiful People, The Dope Show, I Don't Like the Drugs....

[@davidboucher3584]

@@jashn it’s not about drugs…

[@DerangedVoices]

@@davidboucher3584 he's saying the name of the song... The song name is, "I don't like the drugs (but the drugs love me)"

[@animal482]

Just discovered u guys! Yall are great. I have rediscovered music recently. I'm a recovering addicted and recently got off methadone after 20yrs. Music therapy is definitely helping. All genre of music. Music is universal. Ty guys for what yall are doing 👊🏽

*#Eminem** (When I'm Gone)*

[@tristantknight]

I agree, it's an anthem. my "leave me the fuck alone" moments are when I have my headphones on. it's my own escape from the real world. my favorite thing about this song is how he doesn't sugarcoat anything and also how pissed he sounds. you should check out Marilyn Manson. I'd suggest The Beautiful People 😊

[@lalithls4683]

Please react to Eminem square dance, hell of a track 🔥

[@daydreamer415]

This song came out after Columbine. He was referencing Columbine, because that school is in A VERY affluent neighborhood. So Eminem was saying... "And look where it's at! Middle America, now it's a tragedy Now it's so sad to see, an upper-class city. Havin' this happenin." This song hit do hard!
