Just because you didn't catch the "2 more things out the trunk" - he killed step dadda and little brother too. You hear about it in Kim where he's telling her how he will frame it as a murder suicide. You're so right about the baby talk; I'd never thought about the context outside of the song (during recording); the fact he was writing such a dark song and included the baby talk with Hallie... his mind was in a dark place for sure.

I think this song is genius. The subject mixed with the tone of voice, it just tells such a vivid story. Morbid and fatherly, gruesome and caring. What a mind he has, a real talent for story telling

I can't believe you're going this deep into the rabbit hole. This should be good. I think you will really enjoy some of the stuff because you have taken the time to appreciate the artist that he is. When this album dropped I had it on a cassette tape and I was just playing it over and over and over again on my Walkman haha And also I think you should react to the entire Marshall Mathers LP

This is the sequel to "Kim", but was actually recorded and released a few years before that (1997). It was on the Slim Shady EP, the demo Dr. Dre heard, and then on the Shady LP.

I've listened to this song for like 200+ times and my reaction is still exactly the same as yours, that's what kind of genius Eminem is

I was so hoping that you would switch up your schedule to get to this and “Bad Husband” more quickly! Thank you! 😁 And again, props for having the ability to appreciate the art in this. As to the question of if Eminem was singing the “Just the two of us” part, he was. I think that it may have sounded different to you because the melody and the harmony were both on the mid-to-lower end of his range. On most of the tracks where Em sings, he sings the melody higher in his vocal range, and then layers another vocal line a fifth and/or octave lower. (Side note - to hear Proof, check out “When the Music Stops.” His voice was so cool on that track - really dark, menacing, gravelly sounding.) I feel so torn on this song. So, I’m an ICU nurse - that requires having a dark, morbid sense of humor to survive. And I don’t know why, but I’m always up for watching serial killer documentaries. 🤷‍♀️😂 Despite that, I have a really hard time listening to “Kim.” I think because the tone was so serious, and I can’t imagine being her and hearing that song. So, I want to not like this song, because it is the sequel to the one song in Em’s catalogue that I have a hard time stomaching. But, the tone here is so radically different. It is clearly dark comedy, and frankly, the baby talk to Hailie (and Hailie’s cooing) is adorable. 😂

Hailie was actually apart of this song, he told kim he was taking her to chuck e cheese when going to record it

i think it is implied that at the end the 2 more things out the trunk were the stepdad and stepbrother?! :) love your reactions btw!

Another Eminem song you'll like and find interesting is "Yellow Brick Road" When Em was 16 him and Kim broke up and he started dating a black girl, she two-timed Em, he recorded a song that got leaked years later that people called racist and misogynistic, targeting black women. Yellow Brick Road is him making a public comment about it an explaining himself through a song. You'll also like "Say Goodbye Hollywood" the song was written about Eminem needing to get out of public view, leave California, go back home after his legal issues from confronting a guy that was with Kim at a Club. The guy claimed he was pistol whipped and Em was charged with serious felonies, he felt the pressure of being a celebrity and needed to escape his life he felt trapped in.

1 thing to remember Eminem wrote this song at a time when Kim's parents wouldn't allow him to see Hailey. So he wrote about his anger over that situation. Eminem has always said it's better to put his anger into a song than to let it build up and explode and become real. I think the 2 things pulled out of the trunk in the end are the stepfather and son.

Stan refers to this song when he tells Em 'If I have a daughter, guess what I’ma call her? I’ma name her Bonnie.' Em was much more playful with his story telling back in the early days. His focus as he's matured seems to be on clever word play which is cool if you like trying to catch the meanings behind a lot of his stuff. For me I preferred the silly and more relatable stories that he would tell. Definitely Rock Bottom, If I had and As The World Turns should be on your list.

Eminem has always put emotion and serious parts of himself into his songs. Of course most people were laughing and that's what he intended, but that doesn't change the fact that he also meant a lot of what he said in these kind of songs.

You have to know that "97 Bonnie & Clyde" song released in 1997 on the Slim Shady EP album and "Kim" released in year 2000 on The Marshall Mathers LP. So he first made a song about the aftermath of the tragedy and then about the tragedy itself.

Many aren't story tellers and it's a lot of regurgitating about the same things over and over. Em definitely gives us a variety of personas and content. There's something for everyone. :) Em said back in the early 00s, that he wanted to make sure his music is different, that nothing was the same and that his career would have longevity because of it. And... his plan worked. We never know what's going to come at us next and we're always patiently waiting for the next work of art lol.

(For context, in the first part of the song he is referencing him seeing Kim with another guy (a bouncer) at a club and how he ran up and pistol whipped the guy and was charged for it.) kzread.info/dash/bejne/gn-q06t_hKa8ido.html&ab_channel=Eminem-Topic 25 to Life, 2010: This one is about his controlling and toxic relationship and how he is breaking out of it and becoming independent and standing on his own (This isn't super story heavy but gives good context into his life when he was at the height of his career, this one will require two listens to fully understand) kzread.info/dash/bejne/gJuiyZqOqdzHd7Q.html&ab_channel=Eminem-Topic

Hey Larry. Love your channel. In case you don't already know: - "Bonnie & Clyde" was in "Slim Shady LP" (SSLP) album which came out in 1999. - "Kim" was in "Marshall Mathers LP" (MMLP) album which came out late in 2000. So Kim is a prequel which came out later. - "Stan" also was in MMLP and released as the third single off that album. So Stan imitating Eminem in the song was based on "Bonnie & Clyde" (obviously because Kim wasn't released yet). There are a lot of other references in "Stan" to other Eminem songs which is why I suggest you listen to it once again after you fully listened to SSLP and probably MMLP (just to make sure you don't miss anything).

I'm so glad you enjoyed this the way that I do, thank goodness you know not to take this seriously

It's so bad, but it's so GOOD. Loving your reactions.

The other 2 "things" in the trunk were the step-dada and the new brotha LoL

Stan naming his daughter Bonnie was also a reference to this song.

It shouldn't be but the funny thing is Kim is actually on my gym playlist and haha it actually gets me pumped 🤣 anyone else? Can't wait till he can tell the difference between who's rapping when listening and can tell if it's.. Eminem lyrical or Slim Shady shock factor /dark stuff or Marshall Mathers is the more emotional/hype type songs

The original "Just The 2 of Us" is by Tupac called "Me and My Girlfriend" and girlfriend was an metaphor for his gun. Then the Jay Z one. Then Eminem.

Slim Shady will always be my favorite album

I never realized I was supposed to laugh at this song 😂

Awesome back to back reactions, and yes that is hailey on the cover of the album. I love the slim shady era, but if if you want to hear another more serious sentimental Eminem song then listen to “You’re never over” By Eminem.. it is basically a love letter to Proof after he died

I'm so glad you got it. I was worried you wouldn't like the dark humour. The kid gloves will start to come off now with recommendations. Although I think there are only 2 songs that get darker than these. (or just as dark but in a different way) Insane and Stay Wide Awake. I would still recommend staying away from FACK... for now.

Em’s storytelling is spectacular.

The Way I am might be my fav Eminem song For sure a reaction must be done for that one..

The two things he got out of the trunk are the new husband & stepson

Kim came out AFTER 97 Bonnie and Clyde, but they were written at the same time. He worked on both for the Slim Shady LP but didn't finish recording Kim in time. He later mentioned in an interview that he should have finished it for that album

No more moma, no more step dad, no more new brother.

talking at the end there about the "papa bear" oh you're so right! maybe somewhere along the line you'll want to check out some diss songs he wrote to rappers who mentioned Hailie, that would be interesting:)) if you got through Kim, you can get through everything! just let us know and we'll be more than happy to point you to some of them.

You guys are corrupting this man! Hahaha he's hysterical. I think he's ready to listen to the relapse album.

97 Bonnie and Clyde actually came out before Kim and Kim is the Prequel :) Btw the person singing "just the two of us" is still Em lol Also the two other things in the trunk are the "step dada" and "new brother" which he describes killing in Kim

i heard this way before i ever heard the KIM track... was one of my favorites back in the 2000's

In this song when ‘em says “help dad with two more things out the trunk” he’s referring two the Step dad and step brother who will have the same fate
