Kim - Eminem (REACTION! by metalheads)

Who else would pay to see dr dres reaction while they were in the studio

It's not a song or a track... It's a piece of art😉

Picture yourself the angriest and most hurt you've ever been then imagine you have Ems skill set, upbringing, and a pen and paper... Like you said his story telling is so good that you felt uncomfortable, like it was real... That's what a good novel can do but Em managed to do it in a 5 min song and it rhymed...

"It's not sold me yet...20 seconds in" Famous last words

It’s a two part song, part two is ‘97 Bonnie & Clyde.

He did perform this song live knowing Kim was in the audience with her friends. According to Kim, she went home tried to commit suicide.

"this is how it starts... It hasn't sold me yet... We're 20 seconds in..." you spoke too soon

imagine listening to this as a kid and being scared shitless. yup that was me.

"Kim" is a prequel to "97 Bonnie and Clyde" which was released two years prior on the Slim Shady LP. The latter song is the one referenced in "Stan" not this song. "Stan" was released on the same album as "Kim", so there's no way the fictional character would know about this song. This is part of what makes it so good - 97 Bonnie and Clyde is about him disposing of Kim's body while talking to his daughter and trying to somewhat hide the fact that he killed Kim. This song takes you along for the ride as it (the murder) happened. The fact that this song was made after the other (in which Kim is already dead) allows fans to make the connection. The ending sequence where you hear a body being drug and then put into a trunk is the beginning sequence of 97 Bonnie and Clyde. This is one of the most well-performed and written songs (despite the content being what it is) of all time.

So many people see "Stan" as Eminem's greatest storytelling piece, but for me, it's "Kim". In "Stan", the story takes place over a much longer period, but this one is so much pure & raw emotion, and it all takes place within (maybe) half an hour.

when em was recording this track, dre was peaking from the key hole in his studio.

Em needs credit for his screams and singing in this song. He killed it and it was very metal during the verses

Wanna know something even more twisted that will change your perception of the song? It's actually a love song. He wrote about it in the book "Angry Blonde." I would try to tell the story but Wikipedia puts it best: "According to the book Angry Blonde, "Kim" was the first official song that Eminem wrote for the Marshall Mathers LP album. He and Kim were not in a relationship at the time when he wrote the song. He was inspired to write a "love song" while out watching a movie. At the time, he was feeling the frustration of breaking up and having a daughter with Kim. He said he really wanted to "pour [his] heart out, but yet, [he] also wanted to scream". When he started writing the song, he thought about tying it into "'97 Bonnie & Clyde", and decided to make "Kim" a prequel to that song. He did the vocals for "Kim" in one take. The mood he wanted to capture was that of an argument that he and she would have had. When Eminem and Kim started talking again, he played this song to her and asked her to tell him what she thought about it. Eminem also said to her: "I know this is a fucked-up song, but it shows how much I care about you. To even think about you this much. To even put you on a song like this". "Kim" was also the only track on the album that Eminem had nothing to do with in terms of production." That's why I was one who preferred u wait bc it is a deeply personal and twisted song. It can change your perception of him (good or bad). Growing up listening to him since the beginning this song made sense bc of our knowledge of his relationship with Kim through his music and news, interviews, etc...so when this song dropped, it was an instant hit with his fans bc they understood why he wrote it. It made it more clear once we discover the story surrounding it. It also gave us a look at how twisted his mind can get. But music is his therapy so this is as far as it goes (minus the fights and arguments). Good reaction. React to No apologies lyric video next!

One of the most musically underrated hip hop tracks ever. So amazing at high volume.

"Go ahead yell, here i'll scream with you.... AHHH SOMEBODY HELP!!!" That part cracks me up.

He apologized later in 2017 with a song called 'Bad Husband', you gotta react to it

That wasn’t a reference to Stan, Stan was a reference to the this “that’s my girlfriend screaming in the trunk, but I ain’t slit her throat see I ain’t like you”

Like the content or not, storytelling at its best.

It's the song Kim and then the continue is 97' Bonnie and Clyde. You need to listen to it too. Greetings from Switzerland you guys doing a great job. I love your reaction keep going :)

I believe he played it on stage in front of Kim then she tried to commit suicide afterwards irc.
