I was young, like 11 or 12. So it scared the shyt out of me. Thought it was cool that a song managed to get me to jump the way good horror movies do. Theres' not that many edge of your seat songs in any genre, where you anticipate each line that is coming.
Genius.

Yeah, I was thirteen at the time. I wouldn't say it scared me but it was definitely eerie and hard to listen to at first.. felt like i really was listening to some sadistic murder music.
I can tell you exactly where I was when I heard KIM by Eminem and how I felt when I heard it. I was attending high school in downtown Brooklyn and after school I would always walk along Fulton mall. My first stop would always be to music factory, and on the second floor there was a wall with new releases that you could listen to without buying.
I saw Eminem's new release on the wall and it was an easy choice on what to listen to first. As I was skimming through the album I landed on KIM and the beginning rocked me to sleep; when he said "sit down bytch you move again I'll beat the shyt out of you" my reaction was
in that exact order.

One of the few CD's that I actually remember holding in the car and being excited to listen to once I got home. I had to give my big brother the money before we got to the counter b/c of the parental advisory sticker. Before that, the only CD I'd ever gotten with a parental advisory sticker was "Born Again" as a gift from my god-dad.
Anyway, first time I heard "Kim", I was like
That album was amazing and as I got older, I always look back to that song as being one of the reasons that album was classic. There are great lyrical songs, but it's not often that a concept and actual PERFORMANCE make a song stand out that much. You heard that shyt and really believed he could go off the edge and get that hysterical....
....yet the shyt was all bars.
Dude even incorporated him getting mad at people on the road while yelling at his wife tied up in the car INTO the verses....had the alibi, her responding to him, and everything...all bars.
Sidenote: My friend and I used to joke that an "American Idol" contestant should sing the hook to this shyt when they choose a final song after getting voted off.

My parents wasn't buying me a shockwave cd player. I had a cd player from somewhere but it kept skipping, if it wasn't shockwave cd players were useless.
