Bruh!! I just came back from a 2017 Vid of Skylar Grey ft Eminem "The Way You Lie", dang Drummer is still doing great there and it's 2020! HAHAHAHHA Epic as fuk
Back in the day when i had to let my cousin play ps2 with me, I would unplug his controller and convince him hes playing. I think they did the same with the girl singing
Eminem probably has no idea about how many people he inspired with his songs, especially this one. When "Not Afraid" came out, I was hooked on stimulants and sleeping pills and felt lost and alone in a dead end road. Then I listened to it and I realized that the way out of pills actually exists, but I had to keep strong and look for it. His song and his own example inspired me to keep strong, look for the way out and walk away from the pills. Thanks Em..
To be honest when I listen to Tragic Endings and Castle, his voice sounds like he had this song produced a few years ago and not 2017 because if you compare that to how his voice sounds now, they sound different. Especially Castle where he says "I'm getting sick of chasin' this illusion" or "I'ma turn into someone", it sounds like he changed some parts of the lyrics and put them in the song just recently.
When I first listened to this song, I was driving and I stopped my car in the middle of highway and parked it in the corner just to listen this. Back in 2011
*Dear EMINEM,* _in_ *_this song_* _you said you’d help me out of the dark place in which I used to live my life. In recent years, you’ve made good on that promise. Thank you man. I owe my life to your amazing art._ _This track marks a shift to kindness for your fans; a consideration for our mental health and well-being. The promise made here slipped through the wayside for many of those fans, the critics and the public._ - - - What many of those old fans and critics failed to realize is that for genuine change to happen, you must begin with honesty. Em could not have kept the rage, the consistent talk about his life in poverty, resentment and anger towards his mother or the world. That would be disingenuous. He’s more socially and politically aware. He has analyzed and thought deeply where he wants to stand on issues regarding the future of his kids. He is not and hasn’t been broke for a very long time. Has has food, a home and doesn’t have to dig for pocket change to get by. He’s come to terms with his past regarding his family and his come-up. To change, there had to be shift in messaging, he realized this - but as he grew as a person, *he did not want to just leave his fans behind.* He thought deeply how he would let them know. It has to be with a no BS, and a clear and direct message. He wants his fans to walk with him, and to be happy. Take another listen. He is offering you his hand. He pleads and tries to explain that things have been changing, and are about to change in his music. He can no longer consistently talk about darkness and doom. Would you like someone to be fake just to please you? I’d hope not. *With all of that said, DO NOT get it twisted. Eminem has been at the top of his game artistically and lyrically. Even on his worst days, and on his worst records, he slays.* *He still goes hard if you cross him, and will destroy any rapper who tries to test him. He can make them walk away with their tail tucked between their legs and change their career path.* Lots of complaining, anger and resentment towards Eminem. If you’re one of those people who thinks he abandoned you, he never left you. You left him. I hope this reaches someone. Sometimes it helps to get a different perspective. Peace and love to everyone! - Jon Houston, TX
He sounds different but perfect to the pitch. Noone can reproduce the studio voice in when performing live. If you hear 100% matching studio voice in a live performance , believe me it is mere lip sync
There's just something about this performance that get's me.... Him rapping with this song with the blonde hair just resonated with me because it's a representation of how far he's come. His musical journey and his spiritual journey. We first got introduced to Eminem with blonde hair back in 99 with him saying all these crazy things and now here he his. After all these years, still the same guy with the same blonde hair who's gone through so much and has come out on top. And I love how his face looks all rough because it shows how he's been through so much shit and is still standing and still here. That's what him performing this song at this moment means to me.
Ikr, back in the days he would sing "Hi my name is Slim Shady" with a kind of unexperienced vibe and a lot of energy around the stage, today he is rapping with the weight of the years of his career and he seems more focused on the message he's delivering while he's on stage. Em truly grew up, he used to inspire energy and insolence, now he oozes charisma.
Before I listen to this song I was lonely, afraid and depressed but now that I hear it I am not anymore thank you Eminem you boost up my confidence level by ten percent

+Samantha Chandler i wanna make a joke about me being a machine using my "man hood*, but i'm bad at joking, i have a terrible sense of humor... this awkward!!! sorry bye :|
+Samantha Chandler I wish i could get the chance to see eminem i would give up my prized possesions for it, but he probably wont be doing anymore tours, and i'm probably not old enough to go see him only 14 eghh. whenever i feel down or annoyed i just listen to him over and over, he helped me so many times. he is such an insipration.
The best thing about Eminem, is that he's not afraid to show the real him. He sings exactly the same, unlike other singers where audio-tune is there way of fame. Eminem is a god, and I'm sure we can all agree on that :)
@@lvlidaka8535 Kids are always stupid, we were too (even if you have schoolsmarts) give them time, my godson's big sister had an AWFUL taste in music, but she came around and listens to a lot of really good stuff... Nothing wrong with pop music if your whole music library does not consist of Nicki Minaj xD Godson always listened to good music tho... wonder if me and his dad had anything to do with that :D
This performance gave me chills all over again. Ems music resonates with the soul & inspires me to keep persevering through hardship like Em has. He’s the greatest 🐐❤️🇬🇧
@@Johkah I mean officially he left d12 in 2012, but he's been Ems hype man pretty consistently and I think he's a producer for shady records and worked with loads of artists. Nothing else to it really other than he's pretty close to em
I'm not afraid (I'm not afraid) To take a stand (to take a stand) Everybody (everybody) Come take my hand (come take my hand) We'll walk this road together, through the storm Whatever weather, cold or warm Just letting you know that you're not alone Holler if you feel like you've been down the same road (same road) [Intro (during Chorus):] Yeah, it's been a ride I guess I had to, go to that place, to get to this one Now some of you, might still be in that place If you're trying to get out, just follow me I'll get you there You can try and read my lyrics off of this paper before I lay 'em But you won't take the sting out these words before I say 'em Cause ain't no way I'ma let you stop me from causing mayhem When I say I'ma do something I do it, I don't give a damn what you think, I'm doing this for me, so fuck the world Feed it beans, it's gassed up, if it thinks it's stopping me I'ma 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 No ifs, ands or buts, don't try to ask him why or how can he From "Infinite" down to the last "Relapse" album He's still shitting, whether he's on salary paid hourly Until he bows out or he shits his bowels out of him Whichever comes first, for better or worse He's married to the game, like a fuck you for Christmas His gift is a curse, forget the Earth, he's got the urge To pull his dick from the dirt, and fuck the whole universe [Chorus] Okay quit playing with the scissors and shit, and cut the crap I shouldn't have to rhyme these words in the rhythm for you to know it's a rap You said you was king, you lied through your teeth, for that Fuck your fillings, instead of getting crowned you're getting capped And to the fans, I'll never let you down again, I'm back I promise to never go back on that promise, in fact Let's be honest, that last "Relapse" CD was ehhh Perhaps I ran them accents into the ground Relax, I ain't going back to that now All I'm trying to say is get back, click-clack, blow Cause I ain't playing around It's a game called circle and I don't know how, I'm way too up to back down But I think I'm still trying to figure this crap out Thought I had it mapped out but I guess I didn't, this fucking black cloud Still follows me around but it's time to exorcise these demons These motherfuckers are doing jumping jacks now!

It takes talent to rap your life into words and make it a hit. I'm happy Dr Dre took that risk. God bless and thanks for the songs that has help millions get thru their own struggles.
Escucho emimen desde que tengo memoria , hoy con 27 años puedo decir que fue uno de los primeros artista de rap internacional que no deje de escuchar nunca , bestia lirical sin duda alguna , al solo oir su voz y sus letras te llena el cuerpo de energia sin limites , INCREIBLE , ningun artista de rap hoy en dia llego a moverme tanto la cabeza .
