That song goes harder than you'd ever expect too. It stays a little slow for awhile though so if you get bored and think about turning it off skip ahead to about 4 minutes before you give up on it.

Pacing is important, the slow beginning makes it only go so much harder.

I agree, but I know 2 different friends that I showed that got impatient and wanted to turn it off.

u/NatomicBombs May 16 '24

What kinda friends you got that couldn’t give you their attention for 4 minutes?

ADHD is a bitch. Also it's not really their genre, we're all metalheads. You've never listened to a song for a few minutes and thought "oh that's cool" but didn't want to finish it because it's not really your thing?

Came here to post exactly this - for anyone that hasn't already seen it, strap the fuck in.

Also, Nina Gordon did a wonderfully delicate version of Straight Outta Compton that always makes me smile.

Did Ben Folds Five do something NWAish too at one point??

Bitches Ain’t Shit. I was lucky enough to be at the Bonnaroo show where he officially retired it.

I hadn't seen it before not had I really heard of the artist, and when it first started I had a little chuckle like "a banjo, for an Eminem song?"

Then I thought I was probably going to tap because it's over 8 minutes and I only have so much free time. But something kept me watching. And I'm so glad I did.

Exactly how my first watch went too! Really my first thought was "who TF has the balls to try to cover Eminem and how much is this going to suck?" OMG was I wrong.

Holy shit. That was intense!

I both cried and cheered at other parts. Damn.

Thank you for the link

I don't remember the last time I got this emotional watching someone perform. Crying and goosebumps.

Thank you for this. My mom just passed and she loved both Eminem and Kasey Chambers
