Eminem (ft Skylar Grey) performs a medley of Walk On Water and Stan from the BBC's legendary Maida Vale Studios for Annie Mac on Radio 1. This video contains strong language and adult themes throughout.
I think she is mainly a writer and thats why she isnt as popular as she could be. Her lyrics are all over the scene and I love when she sings some of her creations :)
13 Guiness records* largest vocabulary in music industry Stan 8 mile 1st artist with 10 consecutive number 1 album most diamond certifications as an artist
when mgk fans were saying eminems a liar over that Rihanna line on killshot I was like wtf he's just joking around. Then a mgk fan replied oh now eminem is a comedian. I'm like wtf these kids are dumb lol why I bring that up is Eminem has a good sense of humor and it's ugly how people think he's boring or a serious person.
@@Creedon99 I wouldn't pay attention to MGK fans, considering Eminem's fans destroyed him ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_LcOamMH-IM.html :D
To be honest, Eminem is more "real" than other people. He never shows his face on TV like this. Its like he's self conscious or something but I think it makes him more human
Latoya Lewis - My guess he's suffering from depression because i am and one thing i love to do is hide under hats and hoods, it's like a barrier where you feel safe and protected i know it doesn't make sense but if you were struggling with depression it would.
I mean, she wrote the song and recorded it first lol. Both this and love the way you lie, so it's moreso that rihanna and beyonce sang it like her, not the other way around
just like kingdom of hearts said, it's technically her song, she wrote it. she also wrote A LOT of songs for A LOT of mainstream singers, that you have no idea about and give these singers a credit coz you think their songs are theirs, lol... in many cases, the performer aint able to express the same emotions the author had in mind while writin', the song, they just perform it routinely with no/fake emotion in their voice... sorry, but this is the truth. she also sits down and plays piano while oeeformin' the song, in a dark dress, instead of jumpin' around or walkin on the stage wavin: her hands in all directions with her ass and boobs visible, while Em delievers his own emotions... this here is what i call artistry. Not Ariana Grandes, not ed Sheeran's borin' ballads they expect me not to fall asleep behind the wheel, all soundin the same... nor some Taylor swifts nor harry styles and other shit they overplay on the radios... from what I know this is a fish and chipsers tv(I wasn't sure tbh., I don't watch tv nor keep up with radio stations, but the annoyin' accent at the begginin' leaves no doubt now lol. I'm sure 99% of Brits who listen to their radios and watch their tvs never heard of Skylar Grey, but most of them are hummin' along to HER songs too...)
No they only began collabing in 2010 when record executives wanted Em to go more pop. And BTW, they will NEVER get married. Em's just had too much shit with Kim and doesn't want to get married again.
Walk On Water honestly grew on me. I feel where Em is coming from when it comes to high expectations. This live performance really made me cry. Alot more was put into the music and I was feeling it. I felt it with the original but not like how I was feeling this. I wish the snares were added on the original.
No snares were added in this performance but there was a kick and some cymbals as well as a bass and electric guitar which added to the feel of the song
Yaaasss. Em has a way of telling a great story. This mans music got me thru rough times. Thankful for these songs. BLASTING NEW ALBUM while house cleaning 😊
I swear until my dying day I will never for the life of me understand why this song not only wasn't appreciated but was overwhelmingly disliked. I just can't wrap my head around it. Seriously what's not to like? Personally I think it could have done without Beyonce but do people not see the rarity of the honesty this man is willing to share with the world? Is he not allowed to have down times where he's depressed or feeling a certain way? Even if you don't like the music (which I'm guessing is the main problem with it because lyrically I just don't see what there is to hate about it). If you think there has ever been a better story teller with his bars you're sorely mistaken. He has a talent to be able to take you there to have you feel like you're standing there watching it happen. He did his usual clever, multiple meaning verses like he always does and did an insane rhyme scheme that no other rapper could do carrying a ending sound all the way through verses. That is beyond incredibly hard to do as your narrowing your word choices significantly. I love how honest he is, how he shares with us his own doubts and how other peoples opinions or harsh statements can't help but build up. The man is an absolute genius and love him or hate him don't dare sit there and try and act like another rapper dead or alive can do what he does. If you listen to the words you can't help but feel how he felt. In an industry where sadly white rappers aren't respected and their careers are usually pretty short he has outlasted them all and not just them but nearly every other rapper period. He has made tons and tons of money if it was about that or that's all he wanted he could have retired years ago. Instead of walking the politically correct line he says what needs to be said even knowing it could very well cost him fans. What's funny is for every 1 black rapper who has a problem with Em there are 99 others who respect him and know just how good he is. Those other guys are just jealous and racist and have a problem with his skin color. The music industry certainly knows how good he is. Just think about this...think up as many collaborations between big time artists and think about the order they usually go in, usually the featured artist goes first to ramp up to the album artist. That's just how it is done most of the time, but not with Eminem. Look into it and see how many teams despite being the featured artist he is saved for last. That's respect right there. Of course it's also a little bit of self preservation on the album artists part as it wouldn't be a wise move to have to follow Eminems verse. Ok sorry I went of a little more than I meant to.
I'm still reminiscing on times, like when she didn't even went by her stage name "Skylar". For those of you wondering, she was that female voice that sang the hook for Fort Minor's "Where'd you go". Back then she even still went by her real name, Holly I think. But yeah found that out years later when Skylar started to come up. She's been working her hard ass off behind the scenes since forever, writing songs for, back then popular artists in the 2000's, being mostly the demo-singer for demo songs that became eventually someone else's hit. So yeah she's a real talent, not just vocally, but also creatively.
@@truecrimeaddict1975 Exactly, she still feels slight uncomfortable and stage-frighty because she's been working basically always in the shadows. With her solo stuff and being in the spotlight since the past few years, she really had to adjust. But I'm still glad she's getting her credits for being the writer and original demo singer for hits performed by "bigger" artists.
Wow I didn't see that he says that he's always writting no matter where he is it he's out of paper he will write on his arms hands pants napkins anything he can find
No matter even if Eminem stops rhyming......no matter even if he starts mumbling.....even if he stops rapping.....I know this won't happen.....But even it fucking does....I will never stop being a STAN......THAT'S MY LOVE AND RESPECT FOR MARSHAL BRUCE MATHERS THE 3rd aka EMINEM....HE IS OUR IDOL.....CAN'T RESPECT HIM ?......DON'T CARE.....HE KNOWS ....WE KNOW....AND ALL THE HATERS KNOW.....THERE WONT BE NO OTHER EMINEM
@Mark Donald I see you're not very clever and get easily confused. Are you able to read what I'm writing or is it too complicated? I could dumb it down a bit if needed. Not sure I could dumb it down to your level, but I could try!
Eminem is the best because despite everything he shows his vulnerable side and that is revolutionary. It means alot.m.because everyone feels like they aren't good enough..even the rap god.
LMFAO HE SAID "Don't disrespect her" LMFAOOOOOOOO IM DEAD THIS DUDE IS FUCKING SERIOUS. Have you seen those kpop fangirls? they write fucking smut of their lords and saviors, go bash them instead weird ass nigga
"CHRIS DOES NOT EXIST PRODUCER / SOCIALLY REJECTED / RELAXED" That's in cronquists bio on RU-vid. Notice: "Socially rejected" Damn he got that one right. And he looks like a fuckboi
And this dude is selling his music with no reputation... how does that even work? You've taken no steps to keep your music secure and you just have some prices up on your SoundCloud... damn that's slimy haha
I walk on water But I ain't no Jesus I walk on water But only when it freezes Why, are expectations so high? Is it the bar I set? My arms, I stretch, but I can’t reach A far cry from it, or it's in my grasp, but as Soon as I grab, squeeze I lose my grip like the flying trapeze Into the dark, I plummet Now the sky's blackening, I know the mark’s high Butterflies rip apart my stomach Knowing that no matter what bars I come with You're gonna hark, gripe, and that's a hard Vicodin to swallow So I scrap these, as pressure increases, like khakis I feel the ice cracking, because I walk on water But I ain't no Jesus I walk on water But only when it freezes It's the curse of the standard That the first of the Mathers disc set Always in search of the verse that I haven't spit yet Will this step just be another misstep To tarnish whatever the legacy, love or respect, I've garnered? The rhyme has to be perfect, the delivery flawless And it always feels like I'm hitting the mark ’til I go sit in the car, listen, and pick it apart Like, "this shit is garbage" God’s given me all this Still I feel no different regardless Kids look to me like as a god, this is retarded If only they knew, it's a facade and it’s exhaustive And I try to not listen to nonsense But if you bitches are trying to strip me of my confidence Mission accomplished I'm not God-sent Nas, Rakim, Pac, Big, James Todd Smith, and I'm not Prince, so I walk on water But I ain't no Jesus I walk on water But only when it freezes 'Cause I'm only human, just like you Making my mistakes, oh if you only knew I don't think you should believe in me the way you do 'Cause I'm terrified to let you down, oh It's true, I'm a Rubik's, a beautiful mess At times juvenile, yes, I goof and I jest A flawed human, I guess But I'm doing my best to not ruin your expectations And meet 'em, but first, the "Speedom" verse Now, Big Sean, he's going too fast Is he gonna shout or curse out his mom? There was a time I had the world by the balls, eating out my palm Every album, song I was spazzin' the fuck out on And now I'm getting clowned and frowned on But the only one who's looking down on me that matters now's Deshaun Am I lucky to be around this long? Begs the question, though Especially after the methadone As yesterday fades and the Dresden home is burnt to the ground And all that's left of my house is lawn The crowds are gone And it's time to wash out the blonde Sales decline, the curtains drawn They're closing the set, I'm still poking my head out from behind And everyone who has doubt, remind Now take your best rhyme, outdo it, now do it a thousand times Now let 'em tell ya the world no longer cares or gives a fuck about your rhymes And as I grow outta sight, outta mind, I might go outta mine 'Cause how do I, ever let this mic go without a fight When I made a fuckin' tightrope outta twine? But when I do fall from these heights, though, I'll be fine I won't pout or cry or spiral down or whine But I'll decide if it's my final bow this time around 'cause I walk on water But I ain't no Jesus I walk on water But only when it freezes 'Cause I'm only human, just like you I been making my mistakes, oh if you only knew I don't think you should believe in me the way that you do 'Cause I'm terrified to let you down, oh If I walked on water, I would drown 'Cause I'm just a man, but as long as I got a mic I'm godlike So me and you are not alike Bitch, I wrote "Stan"
I thought the last line was"i vote STAY" good thing i read this....however now i gotta read over whole rhymn to see how that line"i wrote Stan makes sense ".... or heres a thought, ill listen to emenem spitten the rhythmn 🤔😎
I absolutely fuckin' LOVE Eminem's sense of humour. He deadpans so well & it usually just goes over SO many peoples' heads. Lol, Annie didn't even really get what he meant (about not feeling privileged) until he ran the whole sentence out for her. And it feels like Skylar just keeps getting better and better, which is crazy because she's been amazing for so long now. But her voice, when she hits those high notes, just sends shivers.
Em standing to the side int he shadow out of Skylars way is beyond professional. This man is the definition of professionality towards and with other artists.
It's only when you see a contrast of two different choruses side by side, like this, that you can really appreciate the versatility of skylar Grey's voice.
@@sagresgameplay1404 actually eminem referred himself as a god of rap witch has took its place as no matter how much u disrespect him he will always come out on top, revival was not his best but still better then everything else put out in 2017 and he has already put out the best album of 2018 *everyone hated on revival but only a select few hated on kamikaze*
My favorite part of Eminem concerts is that he always has a live band playing, it's not just the original studio beats. Sounds so nice, especially with the Stan beat here.
THIS WILL BE THE LAST TIME ILL EVER WATCH YOU ASS ITS BEEN THREE VIDS AND STILL NO VERSE WE DONT DESERVE IT? YOU KNOW YOU HEAR THE LAST PERFORMANCE THEY PERFORMED THE BEAT TOGETHER PERFECT.
So this is our last comment we sending you, we hope you read it Hey Slim, we drank a fifth vodka You know the song by Eminem, "Stan" About that guy who send letters and slim could answer But didn't, then slim saw it all, then at a a show he found him? That's kinda how this is, you could sing the last two verses Now it's too late, I'm on a thousand downers now, I'm drowsy And all we wanted was a lousy last two verses we hope you know we ripped all of your albums off the desk we love your music Slim, we coulda enjoy the full live performance of stan, think about it You ruined it now, I hope you can't sleep and you dream about it And when you dream I hope you can't sleep and you scream about it, we hope your conscience eats at you and you can't breathe without that last two verses See Slim.
@@ChOlo1gg shut up I'm trying to comment see slim that's my girlfriend screaming In the trunk i didnt slit her throat she was depressed u wont do the past two verses cause if she suffers more then she's died to.
Miss Skylar and Mr.Eminem need to do some Live television shows together with these new versions. Incredible live Performance 🙌 I am like Wow" speechless and Star struck! This feels genuine. Eminem has the "Midas touch " EMINEM has a good eye for talented musicians.
No Beyoncé was choosing because she fits the lyrics better she’s more known and ppl (females) look up to her like hip hop fans looks up to Em they both godlike but both just human But yes it’s obvious Skylar songs it better.
DannyJN true. And imo Rihanna did a great job in her songs. It's just that Beyonce's voice doesn't fit the song. Skylar sounds so much better. It's understandable though, featuring a big artist for promotion.
Marshall Mathers you are an absolute poet no matter what people say you’ll always be the greatest alive not just a rapper a person love you marsh you’re an inspiration to hundreds of people ✊✊
I love how EM's haters are trying so hard to *unlike* every post related to him. They are trying their best to argue with every Em's supporters in comments and shit. I honestly feel pity for them. Anyways *GOD IS BACK!*
It's an interesting time to be an Eminem fan lol You got the stans, you have the people who hated on him until he said Fuck Trump, and then there's the people who really don't fuck with him and us who are actual fans who ride with him from infinite through Revival.
Blaze I don't think the album had been released when this was recorded, but they could've sang it then aired the performance after the album was released
Mr Still No you don't know that, it could have been Eminem's management that decided the song would perhaps sell better with Beyonce featuring instead of Skylar. After all she is globally known or perhaps Skylar simply didn't want to.
Yep, she's extremely talented, can play several instruments and creates her own music AND for other artists. I love the music she made under the name Holly Brooks.
@@jrubi5552 😃 the first time I came in UK, British called me Ugly, and I was like - excuse me?? And then just Egg, ok I'm fine with that but yeah, more like Egg-le, wich btw in my language means Christmas tree 😃
@@jrubi5552 thanks :)) But as I said I am fine whatever I am being called 'cause I do understand, it is hard for English talkers (ok, just not Ugly 😄) but end of of the day English is not my first language so how can I be angry at someone - callin me Egg 🤷♀️😄
