Word. Coolest thing to happen at the MTV awards since Nirvana started playing the intro to Rape Me at 1992 MTV awards, even tho they had been specifically told not to play that song. They eventually played Lithium. But backstage the producers were losing their minds haha
I never leave man ! Since when i meet him in 99' in 6th grade when i lost my Mother and a friend share one of his earphone to muffle my sorrow ( Simbeck Michael thx for that ! ) , and until i collapse blast at my f#ck#ng funeral ! 🔊
This was one of those MTV moments my generation remembers like Madonna in the wedding dress, Nirvana Unplugged, or the Prince performance in the infamous pants. You didn’t have to be a fan for it to be iconic and memorable.
Em was/is a fucking wrecking ball. Unmatched. I saw that performance on tv when it aired. Insane. Doing the Fred Durst line right by Durst - red hat - was awesome.
@@mohammadhrajaeei8637 sometimes it honestly makes the song better. Post Malone uses auto tune very well and his songs are catchy. But you are right that more often than not it is used as a cover up for bad vocals
His live show is beyond descript words.The energy is insane,and yes he sounds the same as he does in the studio.I saw him a few times with D-12 waaaay back in the day when he just came on the rap scene,and hes kept it real ever since then,unchanging,true to himself, and what he brings to the world...GO SEE HIM LIVE SHAQ!!!!
@@bowlofsoup12 Ever heard of Covid? Check out Raptor Tour 2019, Rap God was on World Tour and that was one of the bigget tours across all genres. He'll probably be on Tour in 2023 if shit remains normal
i absolutely love Eminem, but you gotta admit that a lot of his early radio hits were corny.. a lot of them are still good, but you need to think about how other hip hop artists look at it. Thats a big reason a lot of people wont give him his flowers. Not because he cant rap, but so many of his songs were/are so silly and many super mainstream talking about Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera and whatnot. Hip Hop is not about that lol, but again, I love him.. but I understand why some view them how they do.
I was 16 when this was released. My hair was dyed blonde just like Em. Girls liked it so that's what we did. I remember being an absolute heaven watching this. Not a care in the world. My Mom watched it with me and she became a fan too. She still is and we both always will be.
@@topspot4834 hahaha,can t blame you ,our man em influenced an whole generation and a lot of people from all the whole world to die their hair blonde and swear 🤣our fav villain and i swear at how much i listened to him i liked to rap too or write verses too and say whatever is in my mind
I remember this coming on live. The sheer thought of Eminem being on anything live was terrifying to most people at this time. Some of my friends parents wouldn’t let my friends watch this performance, and we were in high school. I got so excited when I saw this!
at 9:00 ... EM is a SAVAGE!! 😂 Was 17 watching at home with my mom. She started laughing when he first walked by Fred Durst... and she said “where’s Carson Daly?” Then EM turned around and slapped his hand. Crazy. We both laughed even harder.
I saw EM live in Australia for the first time in 2018 at his rapture tour. I wasn't allowed to go back in 2012 because my dad wouldnt let me 🤣 but the wait was worth it! My word it was AMAZING sold out 80 plus thousand people in Sydney at his age and the show was phenomenal
Hey shaq maybe you should react to live shows of Eminem of his older stuff mostly. He's probably got some of the best live performances. He sounds just like he does on a CD ....and he won a Grammy around 6 months before this award show in 2000 I think
In his Limp Bizkit diss “Girls” he talks about the moment in this performance where he gave Carson Daily a high five and purposely left Fred Durst hanging. You can totally see it and I’m pretty sure he made sure he was making it a point to have eye contact with him when he says the next two words in his verse, “little bitch”. I just noticed that last part during this viewing.
But I thought little bitch was aimed at Christina Aguilera because of during a interview..she mentioned something about him being married to Kim. But they use to go back and forth in interviews flirting till she said that Kim thing.
I saw Eminem live in Abu Dhabi in 2019 and it-was amazing. This performance ,no life shaq was reacting to , was when Eminem was at his prime. I highly recommend seeing Eminem live because The energy and crowd were crazy.
@@Shino-lr2wi People protested Elvis. Lots of musicians are protested. But cancelled? Censored? Music is so vanilla and sterile now. Unique artists/bands are hard to find anymore. If you aren’t a clone of hundreds of existing mainstream artists then you don’t stand a chance. You say what they tell you to say. Write what they tell you to write. Offend only who they allow you to offend. Look how they want you to look. Eminem was a middle finger to all of that. It’s definitely a different scene now than 20 years ago.
You know it was his live performances that made me a Stan!!! I got chills every time he took over the Grammys MTV the protest the age limit on CD’s haha I was there for it all and became a fan. Lol dude when he showed up and preformed outside and walked threw that lobby in a wife beater!! I was sold!
I know shaq missing a ton from infinite, devils night, d12 world, the re-up, relapse, slim shady ep, and slim shady LP missing a few (I have google docs of all of them organized)
I remember watching this performance. I was 21 and a huge Eminem fan. Not quite a stan yet, but I remember how fire this was! For him to be rapping like that at an awards show was a first and everyone loved it! He shocked the world, but he does speak facts. Dr. Dre sent him to destroy you lol💯🔥🐐
Thats My cousin, Matt, one of the Slim Shadys. My whole family was gathered together at my Grandparents to watch, Not knowing who Eminem really was. All we knew was that Matt had a huge battle with his parents and ran away to NYC to pursue his acting dreams. His parents were upset , but before long he called , said he was gonna be on TV ! But he had to dye his hair Blonde. My aunt and uncle didnt approve, but Matt was The star of our local playss, sang in the church choir, so we expected something like that. but something like that. So the whole family was ibuzzing-MTV was pretty wild my cousins and I were having so much fun, not sure what to expect, just that it was a musical number, and it was live, so we had to pay attention. So, When Eminem startedwith all the Shadys lined upout on the street , it took a minute before my cousin yelled " Blonde Hair?! Is this his part? " The grown ups didnt know WHAT to think- My uncle said " what IS all this? A CULT? " Then All my cousins screamed, " THERE HE IS! LOOK ITS MATT!!" It was then that I realized my cousin was the coolest person I'd ever know. It was surreal seeing the Army of Shadys march inside , through the aidience and take over - it was SO over the top and felt like a legendary moment being made. It was so perfect because Matt had nearly been disowned- his parents thought We may never see him again that NYC would turn him into a druggie or gay or something. And there he was part of THIS INCREDIBLE MOMENT. In church that Sunday there were MANY opinions, but I was proud Matt had the courage of his convictions. It sounds corny, but it was like his destiny- He' s had a long eventful career in NYC and this was the start of it all. Great memory and its so fun to see again. Eminem is the best symbol for being true to yourself and living life by your own rules . Glad in 2024, he's still going strong. As dark as he can be, his message of being true to yourself a, being honest and persevering is positive and empowering.
I remember being 13 or 14 watching this in England on the MTV over there...my mom let me Stay home from school so I could stay up and watch it bc of the time difference.. It was a great time to be that age. L He would say and do sht that nobody in the world had done and was actually successful. There was literally NWA, Luke, and then Em. They tried to keep his records out the stores, not play him on the radio, lock him in jail, sue him, fine him, protest against him, stop his performances. They tried to cancel him before there was cancel culture lol And it didn't do anything to hinder his career, he couldn't be stopped then and can't be stopped now. Idk why he get so much hate from the new generation do bad, if it wasn't for him the censorship wouldn't have been so lenient as it is now. And it's funny Shaq you mentioned the Will Smith line. I think Will proved a few weeks ago there really is a Slim Shady in all of us 🤔 RIP PROOF 🙏🕊
Never, ever pass up a chance to see a band or artist LIVE! Those moments become some of the most memorable of your entire life. I can't remember my 30th birthday but I remember seeing Michael Jackson, Elton John, Def Leppard etc. I had tickets for Foo Fighters and Taylor past away just 8 weeks shy of my concert date. You never know if it's your last chance. ALWAYS go!!
I'm reading all the comments and it pisses me off that I never got to see him live, nothing but love for Em here. I would've love to..but he's still writing Soo it's in my bucket list..the GOAT
I’ve seen Eminem live in concert twice in his classic years. Once when he first dropped TES and the next when he dropped Encore. Man, early Em didn’t give a fuck. It’s funny, looking back and comparing him to more modern day Em, a lots changed. He’s no longer outlandish. He’s more technical now. But I loved the early years, Em was so much fun. When Em was even younger than me, he has already sold more than 30 million units, had 3 classic albums, joint venture on 50 with Dre, Em’s top 1 of ALL time. He’s the definition and standard barer of “GOAT”.
I’ve seen Eminem live once and it was literally the highlight of my entire LIFE. Before phones recording and people not paying attention - we were all just in the moment. The Epicenter 2010 Festival. It was the best thing in the world.
I’ve been lucky enough to have seen Em in concert THREE TIMES!🍀First time was when Recovery dropped 🔥AMAZING! He’s still top of his game, he just keeps better - THEE GOAT FOREVER!🐐 Peace ☮️ from Ireland ☘️
I was 10yrs old when I watched this Live on TV. I’ve been a real Eminem head and hip hop fan since a real kid. Happy I was born exactly in 1990. And that my parents allowed me listen to anything I wanted. My first a DMX cassette tape. In 1997. Then I heard eminem and I was over.
I been lucky enough to see em live in 99, 2001, 2003, 2005 and 2018 and he sounds the same in every show and he does everything live. That man is a true performer
Umm.. One of the greats actually, there are other Goats like Pac, biggie, redman, Big L , Andre 3000, Ice cube, dr dre, snoop dogg, Dmx, Eazy E and many other more
@@yo3rdtier128 em is a monster and eats mc's for breakfast. Not to mention he is white so they gonna hate he on top the rap game. Its harder for em than it is for lil wayne and others.
Man I was 29 when this come out and it was mind blowing then and just as Shaq said its LEGENDARY! This was one of those performances you won't ever forget, right up there with Prince at the Superbowl or MJ doing the moonwalk for the first time during the Motown special. Those clone EMs walking through NYC into Radio City Hall that left its mark on the music world back then and it was really great to see you appreciate it today! I love your reactions to Em they are so genuine and is what brought me to your channel to begin with about 3 yrs ago back around when you hit your 100k
I've been waiting so much for Eminem reactions again bc it just shows that difference in level of him to what other artist are even doing at top of their game now, and EM live is exact same if not better live the 3 times I seen him.
Man I love ya Shaq still as much as sub 25k! Still cracking me up consistently and spreading the love. I remember watching this live on TV only because he was going to own the show. I remember where I was and who was there. A bunch of blown away people. God bless him and God bless you too! 🤘🤘🤘🤘
@@BigDaddy-jk6yt it really is true dude. The music hw releases now is so cringey and off putting. Hes either doing terrible pop rap or spitting some of the most corny bars you can listen to. He hasn't made a great album since the Eminem show. Have you heard revival? You can't tell me that's a good album
@@Bynxandethan music to be murdered by is a good album and so is kamikaze... you guys get mad at him when he doesn’t collab with new artists but as soon as he does he apparently sucks?
Bruhhhhh, I remember exactly where I was when I saw this on TV that night!!! We were on vacation at the beach and my husband (now) and I were going CRAZY bc it was so innovative, ballsy and fresh...just like Em 😂 He really gave zero Fks rapping right in their faces 🤣💯🔥👏 Forever a legend, pioneer and THE G.O.A.T 🐐
It's funny that he performed The Real Slim Shady and The Way I Am because when he turned the album in neither song was on the album. Iovine requested for him to write another another song like "My Name Is" which pissed him off and that's when he wrote The Way I Am. There's even a reference to that in the song and the video of The Way I Am
I was lucky enough to see EM live in Nijmegen, The Netherlands in 2018 🇳🇱. Along with 2chainz, Royce, Mr porter. It was a legendary summer evening. That I’ll never forget. What a show!
Seen him countless times live in the UK, always sounds the exact same as his albums... no lip sync. He is one of the greats for a reason, legendary for good reason.
I get goosebumps listening to this last part of his performance cause u hearing it in his voice how he's hurting 💔 at that time #eminemmusic I love ❤ u always bro.. keep killing em and Condolences to ur friend who passed away 🙏
Thanks for all you do Shaq, love the videos and reactions, keep it up. You're my favorite reaction personality, and honestly your amazing attitude puts a smile on the face every time.
The part of that whole experience that sticks out the MOST in my mind was when all the slim shadys started standing up in the massive crowd and one by one..appearing in the aisles...and all had white shirts...and I think red caps...but young men and women all dressed casual in the formal setting...they may have had slim shady name tags too..but it was the strange way they interrupted the host by sheer numbers in clothing out of place...and then the back beat of the song played quietly in the background on repeat...getting louder and louder..until hundreds of slim Shays filled the place...this part is after that, If memory serves..
I remember watching that live back in the day, and remember the shock of Elton’s reveal. Em’s third verse in that live performance was *amazing*. 🤯 Gives me goosebumps every time I hear/see it. And then I get the warm and fuzzies when they hug at the end. 😂
@@jdkilpatrick2000 it was such a moment to me I think because I am gay and I’d been give so much bs about Em being this or that and to have one of the worlds most well know gay icons on stage with him proved that wasn’t the case (or at least for me it did).
I appreciate talent in music even if it's not my thing. He's a gifted artist any way you cut it. I enjoy your videos because you go outside YOUR comfort zone and appreciate all musical talent. That's true Intelligence. 👍🏼
Eminem breathed new energy into MTV and made it relevant again, at least for a couple more years. I watched this on TV and it's the only MTVMA performance I remember since then.
Saw this live on tv at the time. It was epic. No high-speed internet back then so MTV music awards were huge for the teens at the time. This one and the performance he did with elton john at the grammys to prove he didnt hate gay people and gave everyone the finger at the end. Then when whoever wins best music at the oscars usually performs. He blew it off and didnt go. I wish Em was still doing crazy shit and saying off the wall stuff. We need it right now with all this sensitive horse shit going on. But he's calmed down in his old age and goes into hermit mode when he's not dropping an album. I guess he got tired of being in the spotlight.
I mean sensitive ppl are just sensitive they are not a problem in your everyday life. but going out of your way and saying ridiculous stuff just to provoke is even worse. You're just saying it to get attention. And Em gets hate by not saying anything or doing anything. And he don't care what ppl like or dislike he just live and let live. If he goes and shit on younger generation then he'd just look bad and grumpy and get trolled even more. just like he did to older ppl at that time.. Let the man live in peace. someone said on Twitter their mom saw him at a grocery store, he had the hat on and tried looking unbothered and kept the head low
You know a song is huge when it’s still aired on the radio over two decades later. I can’t tell you how many times the real Slim Shady has been aired in the past year alone, but it’s awesome. I wasn’t even alive when Eminem was on top like this, but this performance tells me all I need to know about his early days.
Should we bring back the Em reactions?
Yes
Yes sirrr.
Yessirrrr 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

YASSSSSSSSS!!! Lol

As dark as he can be, his message of being true to yourself a, being honest and persevering is positive and empowering.
My twin sister went to NYC for the first time the day of the VMAS in 2020 and She ended up seeing this Eminem performance.She loved it.
Em is still unstoppable though
Facts , but he didn’t give a fuck about nothing back then
nah
He's an unstoppable force of nature
@@NoLifeShaq i feel you bruh
Hey I’m a small content creator trying to grow on RUclips I’m on 1.42k subs
Goal: 10k next year
I remember being 13 or 14 watching this in England on the MTV over there...my mom let me Stay home from school so I could stay up and watch it bc of the time difference.. It was a great time to be that age. L He would say and do sht that nobody in the world had done and was actually successful. There was literally NWA, Luke, and then Em. They tried to keep his records out the stores, not play him on the radio, lock him in jail, sue him, fine him, protest against him, stop his performances. They tried to cancel him before there was cancel culture lol And it didn't do anything to hinder his career, he couldn't be stopped then and can't be stopped now. Idk why he get so much hate from the new generation do bad, if it wasn't for him the censorship wouldn't have been so lenient as it is now. And it's funny Shaq you mentioned the Will Smith line. I think Will proved a few weeks ago there really is a Slim Shady in all of us 🤔
RIP PROOF 🙏🕊
I’m 50 Shaq and I promise you the streets was empty for this much anticipated performance!
Never, ever pass up a chance to see a band or artist LIVE! Those moments become some of the most memorable of your entire life. I can't remember my 30th birthday but I remember seeing Michael Jackson, Elton John, Def Leppard etc. I had tickets for Foo Fighters and Taylor past away just 8 weeks shy of my concert date. You never know if it's your last chance. ALWAYS go!!
I'm reading all the comments and it pisses me off that I never got to see him live, nothing but love for Em here.
I would've love to..but he's still writing Soo it's in my bucket list..the GOAT
This solidified him. Yeah, I say it and yes, I'll say it with you in the room. This performance was more jaw dropping than Will's bitch slap.
I remember watching this like it was yesterday. One of the best moments on mtv ever
Seeing him live is on my bucket list too. It would be amazing 😍
I love how Fred durst and Carson daily were there and the hand shake with Carson was the icing on the cake😂
How do you always make a video I’ve seen like a million times THAT much more enjoyable???
Love u bro and love to see you shinin keep on growin
Em is insane live! Great reaction as usual. Keep them comin bro 🔥🔥🔥
I’ve seen Eminem live in concert twice in his classic years. Once when he first dropped TES and the next when he dropped Encore. Man, early Em didn’t give a fuck. It’s funny, looking back and comparing him to more modern day Em, a lots changed. He’s no longer outlandish. He’s more technical now. But I loved the early years, Em was so much fun. When Em was even younger than me, he has already sold more than 30 million units, had 3 classic albums, joint venture on 50 with Dre, Em’s top 1 of ALL time. He’s the definition and standard barer of “GOAT”.
Man I remember my 1st time seeing em live was on the up in smoke tour 20+ years later saw him live at the Superbowl & he still killing it
I went to the Cincinnati show Up In Smoke best concert EVER
u was in the up in smoke tour!? man u goated for that one. cant get better than that as long as hip hop is concerned.
I’ve seen Eminem live once and it was literally the highlight of my entire LIFE.
Before phones recording and people not paying attention - we were all just in the moment.
The Epicenter 2010 Festival.
It was the best thing in the world.
Seen Eminem twice live and both were the best live shows I’ve ever been to 🔥
I’ve been lucky enough to have seen Em in concert THREE TIMES!🍀First time was when Recovery dropped 🔥AMAZING! He’s still top of his game, he just keeps better - THEE GOAT FOREVER!🐐
Peace ☮️ from Ireland ☘️
I was 10yrs old when I watched this Live on TV. I’ve been a real Eminem head and hip hop fan since a real kid. Happy I was born exactly in 1990. And that my parents allowed me listen to anything I wanted. My first a DMX cassette tape. In 1997. Then I heard eminem and I was over.
Was great to see this again thats proof on stage with him RIP
This was literally the first Em song I heard , my dad was playing it in his bedroom stereo and I got hooked immediately
I been lucky enough to see em live in 99, 2001, 2003, 2005 and 2018 and he sounds the same in every show and he does everything live. That man is a true performer
Em went hardd on it
Still goes hard on it
Always is harddddd on it💥💥💥💥💥💯💯💯
EM is the greatest rapper alive!! No 🧢
Umm.. One of the greats actually, there are other Goats like Pac, biggie, redman, Big L , Andre 3000, Ice cube, dr dre, snoop dogg, Dmx, Eazy E and many other more
@@denniskinose9958 he said alive and em is arguably better than all of the one you’ve listed
No debating I’ll like to see someone name somebody better…..Wayne up there to but em is above it all
You caught up in your emotions, reminiscent of back in the day. That was over 20ys ago, oldhead. Actually, half of M&M catalog is corny af!
@@yo3rdtier128 em is a monster and eats mc's for breakfast. Not to mention he is white so they gonna hate he on top the rap game. Its harder for em than it is for lil wayne and others.
I went to ems concert in Glasgow a few years ago, he sounded exactly like he sounds on his albums it was amazing.
Yes 🙌
Bring back Em Reactions 😁plz
… yeah, I actually remember watching this live on tv ( I wish live live) I was 22 yrs old. Time flies … lol
Man I was 29 when this come out and it was mind blowing then and just as Shaq said its LEGENDARY! This was one of those performances you won't ever forget, right up there with Prince at the Superbowl or MJ doing the moonwalk for the first time during the Motown special. Those clone EMs walking through NYC into Radio City Hall that left its mark on the music world back then and it was really great to see you appreciate it today! I love your reactions to Em they are so genuine and is what brought me to your channel to begin with about 3 yrs ago back around when you hit your 100k
Blew me away when I watched this live on the MTV awards.
This performance got so much attention John Cena did his own version at Wrestlemania with about 200 look a likes. It's a wild visual.
Wasn't having the best day then I saw Shaq dropped. Love as always my friend, constant entertainment.
I've been waiting so much for Eminem reactions again bc it just shows that difference in level of him to what other artist are even doing at top of their game now, and EM live is exact same if not better live the 3 times I seen him.
Man I love ya Shaq still as much as sub 25k! Still cracking me up consistently and spreading the love. I remember watching this live on TV only because he was going to own the show. I remember where I was and who was there. A bunch of blown away people. God bless him and God bless you too! 🤘🤘🤘🤘
This was a classic, I remember this coming out...
Hi love the vids the vibe you give in your reactions keep it up
I make entertaining videos just like No Life Shaq. I bet 100% it’ll make u laugh. If not you can come to tell me bro.
Let's go more eminem been a while if I remember right need more eminem
2000...........22 years ago....... man im feeling old AF💯💯😂😂🤣🤣🤣
I’ve seen it all 🤦♂️ it makes me feel old. And today is legit my birthday 🥳 lol but I remember this like it was yesterday. I loved my childhood 🤣👏🏻
Eminem=the original uncancelable legend.💯🔥
These were the days that made my childhood 🔥
I cant believe I got to see him live in concert in 2017, hopefully will see him live again one day 🙏
His music has been awful since 2004 sadly
@@Bynxandethan not true. His old music tho is just to good to top. That’s why people don’t like his new music.
I make entertaining videos just like No Life Shaq. I bet 100% it’ll make u laugh. If not you can come to tell me bro.
@@BigDaddy-jk6yt it really is true dude. The music hw releases now is so cringey and off putting. Hes either doing terrible pop rap or spitting some of the most corny bars you can listen to. He hasn't made a great album since the Eminem show. Have you heard revival? You can't tell me that's a good album
@@Bynxandethan music to be murdered by is a good album and so is kamikaze... you guys get mad at him when he doesn’t collab with new artists but as soon as he does he apparently sucks?
I seen this live....man I was so hyped...
You know what's funny my earliest childhood memory that I can remember was this performance 😅🤣remember watching it on the t.v live
@@Thetalinshow Hell yeah...but the first performance was in 99'...Dre and Snoop was on stage...Shady fan for life
Bruhhhhh, I remember exactly where I was when I saw this on TV that night!!! We were on vacation at the beach and my husband (now) and I were going CRAZY bc it was so innovative, ballsy and fresh...just like Em 😂 He really gave zero Fks rapping right in their faces 🤣💯🔥👏 Forever a legend, pioneer and THE G.O.A.T 🐐
It's funny that he performed The Real Slim Shady and The Way I Am because when he turned the album in neither song was on the album. Iovine requested for him to write another another song like "My Name Is" which pissed him off and that's when he wrote The Way I Am. There's even a reference to that in the song and the video of The Way I Am
I was lucky enough to see EM live in Nijmegen, The Netherlands in 2018 🇳🇱. Along with 2chainz, Royce, Mr porter. It was a legendary summer evening. That I’ll never forget. What a show!
Legendary performance.. seen this on tv that night
2000s was a great time of rap music
Seen him countless times live in the UK, always sounds the exact same as his albums... no lip sync. He is one of the greats for a reason, legendary for good reason.
I get goosebumps listening to this last part of his performance cause u hearing it in his voice how he's hurting 💔 at that time #eminemmusic I love ❤ u always bro.. keep killing em and Condolences to ur friend who passed away 🙏
Thanks for all you do Shaq, love the videos and reactions, keep it up. You're my favorite reaction personality, and honestly your amazing attitude puts a smile on the face every time.
The part of that whole experience that sticks out the MOST in my mind was when all the slim shadys started standing up in the massive crowd and one by one..appearing in the aisles...and all had white shirts...and I think red caps...but young men and women all dressed casual in the formal setting...they may have had slim shady name tags too..but it was the strange way they interrupted the host by sheer numbers in clothing out of place...and then the back beat of the song played quietly in the background on repeat...getting louder and louder..until hundreds of slim Shays filled the place...this part is after that, If memory serves..
You should definitely bring back the Eminem reactions!!!
Finally you react to this masterpiece performance
Back when the MTV awards were actually something to watch. I watched this. No one would play but MTV played him so that’s how we all knew about Slim
This and his ‘Stan’ performance with Elton John are my two all time never forgets!!!
I remember watching that live back in the day, and remember the shock of Elton’s reveal.
Em’s third verse in that live performance was *amazing*. 🤯 Gives me goosebumps every time I hear/see it. And then I get the warm and fuzzies when they hug at the end. 😂
@@jdkilpatrick2000 it was such a moment to me I think because I am gay and I’d been give so much bs about Em being this or that and to have one of the worlds most well know gay icons on stage with him proved that wasn’t the case (or at least for me it did).
Yeah I remember watching that live. Loved it. A big f u to everyone hating saying he was a complete homophobe
I appreciate talent in music even if it's not my thing. He's a gifted artist any way you cut it. I enjoy your videos because you go outside YOUR comfort zone and appreciate all musical talent. That's true Intelligence. 👍🏼
Nolifeshaq on top had to say it once again🖤🚦🔥
Hey I’m a small content creator trying to grow on RUclips I’m on 1.42k subs
Goal: 10k next year
so cold blooded when he hand shakes with carson and say lil bitch to fred durst in his face and leaves him hanging LOL
Eminem breathed new energy into MTV and made it relevant again, at least for a couple more years. I watched this on TV and it's the only MTVMA performance I remember since then.
Saw this live on tv at the time. It was epic. No high-speed internet back then so MTV music awards were huge for the teens at the time. This one and the performance he did with elton john at the grammys to prove he didnt hate gay people and gave everyone the finger at the end. Then when whoever wins best music at the oscars usually performs. He blew it off and didnt go.
I wish Em was still doing crazy shit and saying off the wall stuff. We need it right now with all this sensitive horse shit going on. But he's calmed down in his old age and goes into hermit mode when he's not dropping an album. I guess he got tired of being in the spotlight.
I mean sensitive ppl are just sensitive they are not a problem in your everyday life. but going out of your way and saying ridiculous stuff just to provoke is even worse. You're just saying it to get attention. And Em gets hate by not saying anything or doing anything. And he don't care what ppl like or dislike he just live and let live. If he goes and shit on younger generation then he'd just look bad and grumpy and get trolled even more. just like he did to older ppl at that time..
Let the man live in peace. someone said on Twitter their mom saw him at a grocery store, he had the hat on and tried looking unbothered and kept the head low
YOU NEED TO REACT TO EMINEMS OLD LIVE IN LONDON WITH STAN. That is one of the best performance of eminem I have ever seen
This was one of the greatest mtv performances‼️🌹
I knew you was gonna flip when they showed Fred and Carson standing beside each other. I remember watching this on Tv and loved every minute of it.
You know a song is huge when it’s still aired on the radio over two decades later. I can’t tell you how many times the real Slim Shady has been aired in the past year alone, but it’s awesome. I wasn’t even alive when Eminem was on top like this, but this performance tells me all I need to know about his early days.
