This song dropped while I was detoxing of some heavy drugs. No lie, I listened to it on repeat, sweating that shit out. I can look you in the eye and say withabsolute conviction that I’d still be roped to those pills without this song. Still sober today. Thanks Em. #NotAfraid
Sorry For The Late Drop!...Things came up and we got started late....Thanks for your patience! Plenty Hugs Goes Out To All Of You Who’s Still On This Journey With Us! Love Y’all! 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗 #PeaceLoveAndRespect
I missed the live feed again. I've been busy getting my son out of jail. Was at the bail bonds posting his bond. He had video court today finally, he's getting released. All this cause he and his bougie ass ex girlfriend arguing in public. I already told him not to let her take his shine. SMDH. I really needed this. Thank you Lem and Marcus.
I'm in the minority here; but Sober Eminem > Drug Fueled Slim Shady. Not afraid is honestly one of his greatest songs & could be in his top 3 most inspirational songs, hands down.
Jay Green hey man! You saved me from that troll in Evolves comments member?!? I lit that MoFo UP 👊😁 So now you, me Tariq Younis, Phil Bosh.. we watch out for each other! 🙏
since my first language is not english, i quite not understand most if not all of rap lyrics, so finding this channel is like finding a treasure for me, listening to eminem and other rap song became more enjoyable and interesting because i started understanding them through your explanations.
I toally agree with you. Lyrics helped me a lot when i was a kid, music makes studying the language pure fun. im quite a prolificent speaker of the language for someone who is not a native speaker, but we are talking about eminem... man, my brain works overdrive to get the words themselves, to catch the 2nd 3rd 4th layers of meaning, that's when the people of the culture come in and explain the subtleities that you can not get any other way, than to live and breathe this shit :) I honestly wasnt a fan of hiphop, ever, then came kamikaze, it sounded fun, then youtube recommended me a reaction channel, from then on doors opened, found this channel, sticked with them. I have discovered a whole new appreciation to this genre, especially eminem, and how he really is a fucking alien amongst us.
Dude, that’s awesome to hear. I heard a guy from Russia say he actually was able to learn passable English listening to Eminem. Being born in America, I am fortunate enough to understand some of the greatest music. (I suppose any English speaking nation would help haha) I’d like to learn Spanish. And be bilingual. What is your native language? Your English is more than passable. I suppose we’d say “I don’t quite understand most, if not all rap lyrics” or “ I don’t really understand most, if not all rap lyrics” The rest of what you said was solid. Take care!
#carebearnation! I love the line on "Fall" where he says "You'd swear to God I forgot I'm the guy that made Not Afraid." This song is heavy. Love y'all!
This song really helped me when I was injured and had to leave the Army. My military career was set and I had been in a long time, I had "drawn the map" and in the blink of an eye it was all gone. I had lost my job, career, an able body, my community, my purpose and my identity. It's hard to explain but if you have been in the military for a long time you don't even speak the same language as civilians, it had been close to 15yrs since I had shopped in a civian grocery store....I was not only physically hurt, mentally screwed I felt completely lost. I would listen to this song on loop every time it got to be too much. Anyway, it means a lot to me and I'm so glad you guys picked it. Love and peace always. #Huglife
1 thank you for your service 2 I know as an annonumois stranger from the internet I can't do much but remember this maybe this happened for a reason maybe that was ment to happen so that you can guide others with you in a simmilar situation to betterness. 3 either way remember that you need to do the best for you and those around you 4 sorry for bad spelling 5 I wish you luck you can do it
😱 he was running from his demons... his reflection had like black eyes... prelude to FALL???? He broke away from his demons, but in Fall he welcomed it back. (I know they were different “demons”, drugs v. Shady)
guys it doesnt matter how old a song is . im not here for ur reaction. my main language is not ENG so im here for breakdowns man im educating and im learning ALOT from Eminem lyric so if u break every Eminem song i wouldnt mind cuz he uses words that are not common to use even mentions persons and events i know shit about! so keep em coming. LOVE YALL #EducatingSquad
I was born with hirschsprung's disease and it has affected my life for the past 22 years and I took my leap by saying yes to colostomy surgery which next week and this song and a few other ones helped me get past this and keep me motivated. Also watching you guys react keeps me laughing and happy when I'm down. keep up the work guys love your videos.
Never thought about that before. Top of the building and then ends up in the basement. Hitting that reset button. Y’all did just put something nice together right there. ❤️❤️
My mom kicked my dad, my sister, and myself out of our home when I was 13 years old. And started listening to Em again and his music helped me with going through that to be strong for my dad and my sister.
I’ll never forget the moment I first heard this song , I thought I’d lost the battle to just keep on fighting... I was just so broken at the time.. not with drugs or anything like that .. had suffered a few devastating losses and just didn’t think I could cope with the pain any longer... this song started playing just as I was about to do something there’d never be any return from.. it stopped me in my tracks.. this song is on every single playlist I have so I hear it everyday .. it’s really that important to me.. so glad you guys reacted to it... it’s so inspirational.. em’s music is like my personal guardian angel 👼 #huglife
I'm mexican so I know beans..lol I remember that video of your daughter. I didn't know she was yours, did she have on some pj's? Man I needed this. Thank you Lem and Marcus for always putting a smile on my face. You family, all day everyday.
I never knew how intricate and eloquent raps could be until I happened upon your first react video and heard you guys break it down and explain it step by step. All dem lyrics I’ve been missing... Thanks for introducing me to this genre! Hugs to you guys too 🤗
This song helped me through postpartum depression. When I had my first child almost 5 years ago my husband had to leave a week after her birth for work a few states away from us. I struggled every single day with being a new mom and not knowing what to do or feeling extremely overwhelmed with taking care of our first child alone. I used to drag myself out of bed every day and put this song on and listen to it over and over just so I could get through each day. I never wanted to tell anyone how I felt because I've always been a strong person and never needed any help. Lucky my dad (he told me this later when I told him everything I struggled with back then) knew something was off with me and made it a point to come to my house every single day to help me out and just be there with me even when I begged him not to and I am forever grateful that he did that. I've since learned that postpartum depression is nothing to be ashamed of and so many women experience it but are too afraid to voice their concerns because they are afraid of being viewed as weak or incompetent. I did go to a Dr once to try and talk about it but was brushed off, so that didn't help at all. Thank you guys for posting this video!
I have a spinal disease that began at age 23. I'm now 38 & over the course of the last 15 years, I've undergone 14 major spinal surgeries, and have lived with chronic pain 24/7, 365 days a year. I no longer remember what "not being in pain" feels like. Toss in a battle with a rare form of rapidly spreading non-HPV cervical cancer (only 0.1% of the U.S. population has this) that resulted in a total hysterectomy before I could have children of my own (silver-lining is that my tissue was sent for extensive research & I hope its contributing to helping save lives). The procedure was unfortunately botched, nicking an artery & 12 hours later I was back in the hospital fighting for my life in an emergency surgery to close the artery, stop the internal bleeding & receive a blood transfusion (thank you type O blood donors)! I nearly died on the operating table. So what does this have to do with "Not Afraid?" EVERYTHING. Eminem's song, "Not Afraid" has helped get me through several major surgeries. It has helped me cope with not only the elevated "pre" & "post" surgical pain; it's helped me cope with the constant daily pain. When I feel like there's no possible way I can even get out of bed in the morning, I listen to this song & I get up. After each surgery, I need to start back at square one all over again. All previous progress made via Physical Therapy, excercise, balance, stamina, scaling back on my pain meds...gone. Back to the beginning. And this song propels me through that EACH & EVERY TIME. It's the ONLY song that wields that type of power for me. I don't know what I'd do without "Not Afraid." Thank you Eminem for writing it & sharing it with the world. And thank you #dadsreact #huglife #carebearnation for choosing one of the most monumentally powerful & inspirational rap songs there is. ❤️👍
Jennifer Boyd I cant IMAGINE your struggle ✊ but BY GOD your a FIGHTER! 🤜 I’m in the medical field & your story motivates me to do MORE! And the bravery of you telling your story HELPS others through inspiration and validation to GET UP! Thank-you ❤️
My goodness Jennifer x u truly r an inspiration an so very brave x sending u big prays an big huggles from Cyprus x think ur amazing x love an god bless x
Y'all missed a crazy wordplay bar. "Cause the way that I feel, I'm strong enough to go to the club or the corner pub and *lift the whole liquor counter up 'Cause I'm raising the bar* Liquor counter... Bar... And the fact that he followed up "I'm raising the bar" with "i'd shoot for the moon but I'm too busy gazin at stars" Its just another way of saying he's raising the bar. Em is fuckin crazy with those schemes and the way he makes it all rhyme. *DAT BOY COLD* !!!
ScriptWork I just went back again. Y'all covered the "I'd shoot for the moon, but I'm too busy gazin at stars" bar and made me realize how deep it is but y'all never said anything about the wordplay between "strong enough to lift the whole liquor up" and "raising the bar". I'm sure y'all caught it though, or if not it's cool. Y'all have caught so many bars that I never would have caught, that you earned the right to miss one now and again, lol. Don't get me twisted, you guys are phenomenal at catching bars. Just wanted to make sure y'all caught that 🔥🔥🔥 Have a good one
This song saved my life. I listened to it every day all day going through withdrawal. I'm 5 years sober now. Thank you Em. And thanks to you for sharing. ❤
This song helped me being a single mom. I’ve raised my daughter on my own since she was a year old and she’s now 25 and my pride and joy. This song told me I could do it and I did. ♥️
Familia (Family). Welcome back! There are only a few reaction channel that should have major label deals are you are in the top 3 of the list. You have the power and the plat form to inspire other with the story telling passion both of you have for music and Hip Hop.

Since love barz I would love to see a break down of D12 Fight Music, When the Music Stops, Rap Game, How come, One shot 2 shot Bad Meets Evil I'm on everything Eminem with Busta Rhymes I hurt you Eminem With X to the Z Xzibit on My name Eminem and Nate Dogg Shake that ass Grand Master Flash and Mel White Lines Freedom The message N.Y N.Y Good luck hitting the 1 million view soon!🎙️🔈🎵😂
Between y'all n Em y'all truly do lift my spirits man & I appreciate y'all so much. I feel like I'm still traveling down that road n that black cloud still follows me around. I know I shouldn't let nothing or nobody hold me down. What I'm trying to say is I still have a lil bit of fear. I got a shit load on my plate right now. I don't have a ride no job & can't seem to get off of rock bottom. I just need y'all to pray for me homies. Love y'all keep doing what y'all doing. #CareBearNaton!! #HugLife!! #ScriptWork!!
Hey Fam👊 been there- start w little things a smile & fixing your bed to start the day. Watch vids on RU-vid that will help you and of course 🙏 pray. Much ❤️ keep going!
I appreciate y'alls love n prayers. I gotta figure out a way to get me a freaking job & get myself outta this dump but the only thing is I don't know how the hell imma do it.
I watch your videos when I'm on the treadmill. One time I got caught off guard by one of your comments and tripped because it was funny but I was okay lol.
This song has helped me so much. I'm a recovering addict of pills. (16 yrs sober) This song touched my soul. I lost my 2 yr old grandson which is the hardest thing ive been through. My daughter turned to drugs after losing him. She went to rehab but that "black cloud" still follows us around. I listen to a lot of Eminems inspiring music when things get rough. In October I lost my grandma, uncle and my favorite cousin in a 6 day period. It was such a hard time. I listen to Eminems inspiring songs to help me deal with everything. Eminems music has given me so much strength and will to go on. I'm thankful for his words because they've helped me through so much. I was recently diagnosed with MS and he says things that just hit your heart and soul. He has so many inspirational songs. I wish people would give him the love he deserves instead of always putting him down. Thank you guys for showing him the love he deserves. I know his music has done so much for me and I know his music will continue to help me and others.
“Perhaps I ran some accents into the ground” or axes into the ground, the play on the word is crazy. He said that on relapse, that he didn’t like that he used too many accents
🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗 #HugLife #DadSwagg #MomSquad...when this song first came out it wasn't one of my favorites but after listening to it not too long ago n now with y'alls breakdown of it has really grown on me! Thanks for making me apperciate it bar for bar! Mad love fam #PeaceLoveAndRespect #ScriptWork
i remember when i first hear this song the world just stopped for me. Everything he was saying was dead on what sooo many ppl go through on top of his always motivational words. By far to me his best song. Thank you guys for your motivational words as well. They really do reach ppl and help them. Great job!
This is why on 'Fall' he made reference to Not Afraid , " You'd swear Im not the guy that made Not Afraid"... Because he promised that he was burying everything on Not afraid , " No more drama" and he's only focused on raising his daughters but hey if you poke the bear it's gonna stop hugging you
This is going to make me sound bad lol 🙈 When this song came out i was 18. Sure, I been through some stuff... but Em for me then was more or less just music. I'm 27 now. This song, along with Beautiful Pain (which deserves a reaction too) have really pulled me through some rough stuff after my dad died in March. He left me alone with my brother, mom in prison. I'm happy to say now things are much better. Em also inspired me to reconnect with my mom relieving me from mother duties. Without him throughout this year though idk where I would be and that's the honest truth. So I am forever grateful for Em and this song. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
I remember hearing about how rare it is for someone to demonstrate power (to overcome addiction, to be a leader, to choose love, etc.) instead of wield it. The intro speech always makes me feel hopeful, despite the issues I’m struggling with. Love all your videos!
I don't suffer drug addiction but I do suffer from bipolar disorder. This song was like an anthem. For all the people who thought I was crazy and looked down on me,the ones who couldn't support me in my struggles, I'm tearing down your balconies. It was a powerful inspiration to know I don't struggle alone. Love Eminem. He's real. Keep up the great reactions.
I needed this tonight. Today broke me and you guys (and Em) just picked me back up. I TRULY needed this. Thank you!!🤗🤗 #CareBearNation friends who believe in the power of prayer, I would appreciate prayers for my mother-in-law and her doctors. I love this community and the positivity it brings. #HugLife
One of my favorite Eminem songs. This song really brought me back into reality at one point when I was feeling like I didn't belong in this world. I really hope Eminem see this breakdown and have you breakdown his song live! #huglife #dadswagg #carebearnation
This song Is My Jam. I am a aspiring comedian. My family is super against it. Because they feel like I'm making my family a joke. But for real though life is one big joke. But when I hear this song it motivates me to take a stand because I believe my comedy can change the world.. I'm 33 and just started back doing Open Mic nights. Either way I'm getting my comedy out there to people because I'm not afraid to take a stand haha
Seasoned Fingers KEEP GRINDING AND DON’T LET ANYONE STOP YOU! Believe in yourself and just know that THE DADS Believe in You Too! If you ever perform in Atlanta we will be there to support you!
What’s crazy about Em is that for me I can attribute at least one song from all is albums to what I’ve been through in life! Like at every stage from when I was at my lowest or trying to explain an addition to where I am at now stronger than I was!
One of my favorite Em songs! He’s such an amazing artist.. thank you guys so much for breaking this stuff down. From watching your videos I’ve become so much more appreciative of the artistry behind the lyrics. Love your passion too, it always makes me smile :) #huglife
I had the same struggles as Em... 7 years sober... can’t tell you how much this song helped me... there are no words! This is my favorite Em song, and Arose on Revival reminds me why we don’t go back! So for the people who trashed Revival, they obviously don’t know what it meant to Em fans like me! He’s a genius, and an inspiration! Can’t say rap music influences many, the way his does! 🙌🏽
Wow, I've listen to that song so many times and missed a lot of what it all meant ...I'm so glad I have you guys to break this down...you guys are awesome!!!!!
Ima be what I set out to be, without a doubt undoubtedly. And all those who look down on me, I’m tearing down your balcony. This shit right here used to have me ready to do anything.
I’m an overdose survivor when I had 0% chance of doin that. This song hits me no matter how many times I hear this. I’m a father too so it just hits me 10 times harder salute you guys 🤘
