I was born 1991, I found a CD player and a mix of his old stuff at my older cousins house. It was the first music I ever listened to besides rock on the radio. I was like 5th grade, virginity and innocence instantly gone lmao. I listen to it that whole day and no one knew. 😂
"God sent me to piss the world off," might not be the hardest, or most lyrically crazy line of Ems. But, for me at least, its one of his most iconic. And i still love it.
Eminem is living proof that if u have a dark sense of humour most people will look at you different but some people will find you hilarious, he’s inspiring those that have a dark sense of humour and pissing off those that are sensitive as fuck at the same time thats what makes this song hilarious
I love that you found the uncensored version. The censored version is like mcdonalds salad - a poor substitute for the real thing. Find the other uncensored versions of his songs, they are all great like this. Cheers.
This is actually really the banned version. The unsencored version has 1 line changed to clear the sample used. The banned line is the gay teacher wanting to have ssex in junior high. Did not make the album. Instead it became, my english teacher wanted to flunk me in junior high Thanks alot, next semester i will be 35
I will never forget when this video first played on MTV, watched it before school and was just flabbergasted because it literally was like nothing i'd heard before
This is how controversial Eminem was back in the 90’s. Going in on main stream pop culture like boy bands. Absolutely love your honest reactions. Keep it up bro
After hearing The Death of Slim Shady, the only way Eminem could be more controversial would be to do a song with Marilyn Manson, but that might sound good regardless
Shock value + Dr. Dre beat + Memorably/simplistic Chorus. This was the formula that brought a TON of eyes on Em when he first came out. Once those eyes got to looking at Em, he came out with his 2nd album and showed the world what he could REALLY do on the mic. And it has only gone upward from there. You can tell listening to this NOW, that this is not the same type of Em that you get today. This is the "young sound" that was more straight-forward with bars and not the double/triple meaning, word bending, vocabulary throwing, scheme crazy, cadence master that we have today. The "skills, talent and knowledge" was always there, even when this was 1st released. But they were NOT "honed and perfected" the way they are now. This was a good "introduction" because it DID cause you to pause and look at Em with a "what the hell" type of response. But once you turned to look at him, he showed you what you had either missed, ignored, or simply didn't know about with his later tracks. It is a good thing to go back and revisit these early tracks from Em every now and then. If for no other reason than to track his career path over the years. But it is also good to revisit because you can see the level of upward mobility to his pen, skills and production as well. Thanks for putting this one out as it really shows that you can come out of the gates with a "what the heck" type of release, but once you get the attention how to really showcase what you can do.
That's slim shady not Eminem or Marshall. Slim is the dirty wtf he just say, Eminem is the the battle rapper and Marshall is the beast that runs it all.
I still think one of the most impressive things Eminem has done is the song “Fack” not because of the song… but the fact he had crowds of people singing along to the most messed up verse on the song, and he included the song on his greatest hits album 😂😂
Yes this one has many different versions and this version with the real verse about the teacher was always the hardest to find and I'm fairly sure it's the lest edited version of the song. I have a very strong feeling the real original version never got recorded lol
I’m feeling old af 😂😂 I bought this CD at target on it’s release date. I remember having to get a friends mom to buy it because they used to id you on a CD explicit lyrics 17 & up . Fuck man lol
I was 18 when this came out, hadn't heard anything like it before or since. I'm not the hugest rap fan but this shit was fire. Talk about entertaining, funny, clever, catchy, everything. I've heard this song a million times but I still crack up every time I hear it.
He had skill from the start and he made radio friendly song at first but didn't have success (I refer to his first album - Infinite). Then he developed the Shady persona. But now that the album Death of Slim Shady is about to drop maybe we will not see Shady after it...
I was in like 8th grade when this dropped. I remember watching the premier on TRL. Ended up trading my buddy my Rage Against the Machine: Battle for LA CD for his Slim Shady LP. he still bitches about haw bad a trade that was to this day.
If I’m not mistaken, this is the first song Em and Dre made when Eminem first flew out to California to meet Dr. Dre. Dre brought Em back to his studio in his house, put the beat on, and within 8-12 sec Em threw the “Hi my name is… my name is…” hook out, and the rest is history.
This is the first time I am listening to this myself. So I'm happy to have heard this through your reaction. You should find his diss tracks. Those are hilarious
The best thing about this song is that it's really Labi Siffre's "I got the" around 2mins and 9 seconds in - presumably he gets a big royalty at it's a straight sample from a big section of that record - more trivia - Dave from the cockney duo "Chas and Dave" - famous for "Rabbit" and "Mustn't grumble" played the brilliant bass line, ^oo^
Definitely glad you took the time to do the uncensored version, it's SO much better. His ad libs are hilarious lol. He does them in almost every song if you listen for them.
i cant actually beileve a person has gone their entire life without hearing eminem... ever.... even my 90 year old grandmother has even ACIDENTLY heard eminem.... so a kid in todays society im supposed to beileve NEVER heard him once... right
It's funny seeing young people discovering Eminem. The man is a hall of famer lyricist. They'll be studying his songs in University 100 years from now.
Couldn’t believe it was a nationwide release the first time someone played this song for me. Every time I broke down the lyrics and flow I laughed my ass off! When The Marshall Mathers LP dropped I knew he was legit.
When you’re 30 and this is the version you remember. I love people discovering this shit. I can’t wait to show my kids. I was ten telling my uncle Em was my favorite “singer”
It's his alter ego Slim Shady. He has an album cover with a mummy with needles in him, that's slim shady. You really need to listen to the slim shady lp. I think I can safely say you won't be disappointed. Eminem does different music to his early slim shady lp
I refuse to believe this is the first time you’ve heard this song. Makes for a good video tho people believing that you’ve never heard it . The Stans will love that
I remember being 13 when this came out and being asked if I heard the new white rapper. I’m like nah I’m cool, and the follow up was nah Dre in the video it’s his artists. Word? Then it goes without saying the first time you hear the song you know are hearing a force of nature that is about to make history. And those adlibs with his storytelling made every song feel like a movie.
"I got the ..." is amazing. But it was sampled in 32 different songs. Among them JayZ (Streets is Watching), Beatnuts (Beatnuts Forever) and Lupe Fiasco (Knockin' at the door)
2:40 Bro, honestly.. I've been listening to Em since his second album and never knew these were the actual lyrics and it just tripped me out lol. Which means this song has more than just 2 versions cause I know other lyrics that got changed after these lyrics were changed.
I'm country we rodeo n back in school that's all u heard was someone put out a song that was so uncensored and they banned it, well hell we had to listen to it then, that's when we knew about Eminem .... and we played his stuff if we could find uncensored versions on cassette... 🤣 🤣
“I smoke a fat pound of grass and fall on my ass faster than a fat bitch who sat down too fast” if you paint that picture as he’s rapping it, it makes me laugh soooo hard. Like that bar wasn’t technically lyrical at all but the sheer comedy is on a whole different level 😂😂🤩🤩 god I miss slim shady
Right around 2 minutes you didn't realize what that line was about, Chris Cross was a rap group from like the early 90s that wore their clothes backwards.
IT is funny on a new level 20 plus years later as he referenced people like Usher most people would have to Google to have any clue who he is talking about and he is still going strong.
Thanks for all the great reaction videos! Just found your channel and watching through a bunch of them. Some more rap songs you could react to in the future: So Sick - Benefit, Amazing Tongue Twister Rap - Mac Lethal, Method Man - Wu-Tang Clan, Multiples (Reprise) - Atmosphere, Easy Come, Easy Go - Daveed Diggs & Rafael Casal, Scapegoat - Atmosphere, Exact - Benefit, and almost anything by Childish Gambino
i remember hearing this song debut on the radio, like i sat and listened to my stero in my room tuned in to my local station to hear this song, they advertised and promoted it all day... i recorded it on a tape. then i recorded the video when it first dropped on vhs. I had no idea he was white until i saw the video. amazing. week later we all bleached our hair and dressed like em
It's crazy how so many people can have different memories of the same song. You had the clean version for the music video, the album version, and then this version that never made the album.
Standing in a pub playing pool and Oasis on the tv screens, then this came on and everyone in the pub looked up at the screens. Who is this, what is this and since that day my life has been better, my thoughts have been validated. I'm with you all brothers and sisters
Fun fact: this is literally the first song he recorded with Dre. He heard the beat and just went of...the rest is GOAT history
Another fun fact.... Eminem hates this song 😂

His flow is soo unique and smooth in this song
Slim Shady LP got me into Em in high school around '98-'99.
I was the same age. I remember sitting on the living room floor watching MTV when this came on. It was an absolute game changer.
"God sent me to piss the world off," might not be the hardest, or most lyrically crazy line of Ems. But, for me at least, its one of his most iconic. And i still love it.

Yeah. You fling it at anyone who talks shit about him and smile😊

As perfect an analysis as I ever heard about Em. I couldn't improve on this comment if I had 50 years to think about it. 💯
Bro wrote a whole essay
“Was that in the news or something?” Lmao 😂😂
this is one of those songs where even if you dont really listen to rap you at least know that hook. total earworm
I remember seeing this video when it aired on MTV and I thought he was going to be a one hit wonder. 20+ years later...GOAT
That's slim shady not Eminem or Marshall. Slim is the dirty wtf he just say, Eminem is the the battle rapper and Marshall is the beast that runs it all.
You got slim and Em right but Marshall is the story teller
Slim did get serious for Stan, though. Mostly because of the consequences of his actions in that song.
This is the moment, when Eminem became The Slim Shady
Still remember running home from school in third grade to watch this music video on TRL. The rest is history
I love watching young people discover the delinquent music of our generation X.
I still think one of the most impressive things Eminem has done is the song “Fack” not because of the song… but the fact he had crowds of people singing along to the most messed up verse on the song, and he included the song on his greatest hits album 😂😂
“And hey if you see my dad, Tell him I slit his throat in this dream I had”
❤️ favourite line ever
I always kind of like the alt version, "Ask him if he bought a porno mag to see my ass"
Yes this one has many different versions and this version with the real verse about the teacher was always the hardest to find and I'm fairly sure it's the lest edited version of the song. I have a very strong feeling the real original version never got recorded lol
This version was standard in UK on the album.
Em and his self deprecating rhymes are hilarious. Pretty dark but still that's his MO.
"shady wait a minute that's my girl dawg"
"I DONT GIVE A FUCK GOD SENT ME TO PISS THE WORLD OFF"
my favorite line.

The second verse was changed a lot lyrics wise in order to get sample approval from the original artist who found it offensive.

Now this is the original version I remember from my teenage years . he is the goat
