why do people feel like they have to explain smthng every time a man cries. idk just get used that it is totally okay and there is nothing unsusual about it
@Devon's biggest fan because for us, we learned that men are weak for crying. Its really hard to rewire our brain when we learned from a young age not to cry. I cry all the time, but its hard to let it out when you are told not to for so long.
@@middlifekrysis4750 its not about just not crying. It depends on where and what you are crying about. Personally I wouldnt cry on video because of a rap song and post it for everyone to see but thats just me I guess.
@MV740 thats because youve been taught that people will think youre weak if you do. Anything can tug on heart strings and force out a tear. But people dont like men who feel things.
Back when this released I was still a kid. But after listening to this again and being a father it hits different. As a Wildland Firefighter, I was pretty much never home and my daughter would do the same things to keep me from going. I was always focusing on putting food on the table. Last call I was on, had a tree fall on me and in the second I realized what was happening all the memories of her trying to keep me home flashed through my head and I regretted everything. I knew I was going to die, and I knew I wasn't going to be able to see her again. Pronounced dead on 11/22/20 at 0522 and I was gone for 6 minutes and 27 seconds. Don't know how but my heart started beating again. Woke up a little over 2 weeks later and have tried everything I can to be a good dad since. Life is short, and you can't take anything for granted because it can end in a second.
Thank you For sharing. I just Found My twin brother dead from overdosing on opiates and xanax. He was My best friend and a Brother. I'm so fuckin'lost now and don't Know what to doooooo!!
@@rollinstoned8447 man stay strong. Remember no one and nothing in life is permanent so the only thing you can do is accept it for what it is and move on. You never know, his soul would be happy seeing you happy in life. My prayers. RIP🕊️💐
Just for context, he wrote and recorded this at the height of his drug problems, so probably genuinely didn't think he was gonna be around for much longer. Very glad he managed to come out the other end!🙇🏽♂🐐✨🎯💯(And this song is truly a classic/masterpiece one of the best hooks Em has ever recorded and Em Is The Goat Of Hip Hop Forever! Em is second to none in Hip Hop when it comes to lyricism and storytelling Please React to Eminem "Mockingbird")
@@Milkers777 Going through changes is a masterpiece in my opinion as he tells his whole story of addiction to overdose and recovery and the personal stuff he was fighting especially with the death of Proof( Doody) and his marriage break up.
@@larryshair Completely agree, Larry. Is there any way I could get you to listen to Castle/Arose by Eminem? It's two different songs off of the same album, meant to be listened to as a single piece of storytelling. Everything he says in the song is true, and basically it's about him overdosing on pain meds and almost dying. He talks to his daughters, as well as his friend Proof, or Doody, who passed away back in the early 2000s.
31, with no kids, but I feel the whole song. Just in reverse about my Mom. Wishing I could've spent more time with her when I had the chance. All the little things that she liked to do that I just "couldn't" make time for. The things that seem so dumb at the time, and being so ignorant to the thought that it wasn't about the activity you were doing, but the time spent doing it in each other's presence... Like he says at the end of the video, Don't waste it.
Saved her. And adopted Kim’s twin sister’s niece he adopted. And his younger brother he adopted. And Kim’s daughter he adopted from another relationship she had while they were split. He’s far from an imperfect man. But he’s a great man.
He saved her, and she saved him. Em is many things, some not so great, but one of those things is a great father. And he's never been shy about admitting his kids are one of the biggest motivations for him to get clean, step up, and stay alive. He's said a huge motivator for making money was for Hailie's college fund, and he was able to be there at her college graduation (with a 3.9 GPA, by the way!). He recently walked Lainie down the aisle at her wedding, and will soon do the same for Hailie. His work and circumstances may have made him miss a lot of Hailie's life, but he survived and stuck it out to be here for the important moments. ...and now, I'm not crying, you're crying into my eyes >_>
I've listened to this song hundreds of times in the early 2000s. It never hit me. Fast forward 20 years now I have a wife and 3 year old daughter. I'm sitting in a hotel room 3000 miles away making someone else dream a reality. I just can't believe how much this song hits me 20 years later.
Nothing wrong with working for someone else man! Your still working on your dream with your family but at least you have time to spend with them when you are home and your not always on the phone making deals and not really there for your family when you are home!! Dont get caught up in titles if your making enough money to raise your family
I feel you. I was working my ass off for my family especially for my daughter. What i didnt realize at that time, i was getting angrier day by day until that point where my daughter was just literally afraid and scared of me to come home. That turning point was about 6 years earlier. Since then i try to spend as much time with her, as i can. I loved this song back in the days when it was released but since i am also a father myself i see it from a different perspective.
Fun fact… Eminem ends his studio time at 5pm everyday regardless of where they are in recording to go home and spend time with family. This is something he has done for years now, especially since getting sober. He finds balance between work and the people he loves.
@@Gamer-zk3tz I think it was a rapper he made a song with that shared this, he came in to the studio late and Em was like we stay here till 5 or something If not mistaken it was a new feature but I can't remember who told it
It seems more and more common to call Eminem "overrated" or say "this person is much better than Eminem ever was". But i truly believe Eminem deserves every ounce of success he has gotten. No one does it like him.
Some people just like to hate on things because they are popular. Sure, there are many hidden gems in the art world, but sometimes something is popular just because it's good.
Is Eminem the greatest rapper of all time? Probably no but goddamn the hate he gets is soo not deserved. His current songs might not be as good as his older ones are but he doesn't deserve the hate
This reminds me that several years ago when his daughter graduated from high school he had to watch from inside a building so that his presence didn't overshadow her moment. How heartbreaking that he's had to let his kids grow up away from him so that they could have as normal a life as possible. That in and of itself, makes this hit even harder. He sacrificed being a bigger part of their lives because he didn't want his fame to ruin their chances for a little normalcy. He's always had such a deep sense of duty and love for them because his own father abandoned him and he didn't want to be like that. He and Kim had such a volatile relationship but they put that behind them so they could coparent and do the right thing, to the best of their abilities for the sake of their kids. I've got so much respect for how hard both of them have worked on themselves (both had substance abuse issues) and their relationship with each other.
Eminem is such a profound lyricist. His emotional storytelling ability through a song shows just how much pain he had went through, and put his family through. A true legend. Much love to him.
I've been an Eminem fan since 2005 maybe, but I'm only now realizing how his clips were corny as hell lmao (the songs only get better on the other hand)
@@oogabalooga9039 I meant his old songs get better with the time. Of course his best work was made in the early 2000's, but Em still had some pretty good albums in the last few years like Kamikaze and Music to be Murdered By
He can hit you right in the feels. My first wife and I used to fight all the time. My oldest daughters name is Hailey. I used to work out of town. This song used to hit me hard.
Nah, man. When he said it I had to pause the video and just think “Damn. This IS gonna be his tribute, isn’t it?”. Legacy, naturally, is gonna be one, but When I’m Gone is really the one.
This is the change Eminem made to hip hop. He was willing to dump his heart out in a way that no other artist would. He could hit you with the hard stuff or he could rip your heart out by just being honest and letting you in to his own struggles.
yes very true words i think as he was a white guy he felt he didn't always have to play the macho rapper role and his huge wide fan base allowed him to cater for them with diff styles of songs ...pure Genius imho
Yep. He's like, "I get it, you want fun, so here's Shady. Oh, now you need me to prove myself? I'll let Em do that. But I'm a person and I've got real shit to say, so here's me, Marshall, writing this one for you." That's the genius of having the three perspectives split into three alter egos: he gets to write from every facet of himself without losing an audience. There's always a song for someone, no matter what they want out of a rapper or singer.
Oh man, when you said that Eminem won't be here one day and this song will be played in his honor... it just broke my heart. Eminem feels immortal. It hadn't even hit me that he won't be here forever. He survived so much, so how can he ever die?
he actually wrote this song because he tought he wasnt gonna survive his drug addiction so its basically already played in his honor he just didnt left us
There was a time when I actually wouldn't have been surprised if he died any day but now that he's clean I think he'll be with us for another 30-40 years at least. Unless something crazy happens.
Yes, a lot of rap is bout sharing their struggles and by doing so they are helping others that sit in a similar boat and can relate. I can recommend so many songs that fit in this category. Hopsin- "this house" and "alone with me" is amazing as well as NFs whole catalogue!!!!
RAP stands for Rhythm And Poetry. ... look for the lyricists, the storytellers, they’ll never disappoint- Em, Lupe, Nas, Kendrick, Royce, Cole, Hopsin, etc.
I made a big mistake watching your video today. Your sincere reaction combined with the fact that it will be father's day in two days and my dad (who was gone a lot for his job) passed away seven years ago... god... bawling my eyes out. I knew this song, and it hits me every time, but today it kicked my legs out from underneath me. Thanks for being so upright and honest in your reaction and never, ever apologise for crying. I'm a 38 year old guy and I had to learn the hard way that those tears can only do good...
Dude, I came home today after a shitty night and RU-vid just recommended your video to me. I watched it until the end and honestly I cried with you. I already knew this song, so I knew it was a heavily emotional song, but seeing you letting your emotions flow and just went along with it made me feel so good, I literally cried because I empathized with you. Even if you happen to not see this comment, I wanted to say thanks a lot for this video! You got yourself a subscribe from me!
Em hits you in the SOUL. This song is incredible. I hadn’t heard this before, and I bawled right along with you. Damn! I think it hits hard because no matter what you do, you always wish you did more with your kids. Edit: Forgot to say thank you for your heartfelt, honest and raw reaction ❤️
I'm 30 now, but I grew up with parents that didn't understand Eminem whatsoever... They probably still don't. Thank you for being open enough to actually listen.
This is one of the most perfect reactions to music. This is what a lot of artists wish to achieve when someone hears their music. Most want you to physically feel what their writing. Perfect.
Eminem is a storyteller...in many ways. His music reached new audiences and he opened up rap to them. People that had never listened to rap before ...started to discover other artists that would have otherwise been overlooked. He changed hip hop forever!
I am not a father, but this song can bring the biggest of badasses to tears. Everyone has a side of themselves that proves they are real too. Also, real men cry!! Be it your life, a fake life, wondering your future, or just being ones self. You make life! Life doesn't make you!
This is why Eminem is the best lyricist of all time in my opinion. He can make you laugh,cry, or scare you. He knows how to paint a picture with his words. Btw you earned a new sub god bless.
I'm almost 40 I know my older hip-hop. I'm not saying anyone is as amazing lyricly to me because I respect way more than EM. Anyone who is a master at cadence and word play is what I love in rap it doesn't mean Em is the best but, he is the best to me in my opinion. Another thing is EM's influences come out in his raps so you still get the older influences that so many love he puts it good in his own lyrics about his list Reggie,JayZ ect. You get it.
I agree. It's good knowing someone who doesn't listen to Eminem still feels the emotional pull of his songs. I grew up with one parent which is why I felt a lot of his lyrics resonated with me but it is clear the lyrics and the way the song is put together can affect anyone.
If you're a hard working father and you love your kids there's no way this song doesn't hit you deep and force you to hold in the tears. The hard balance between being there for your children and having to be gone to provide at the same time isn't easy. And society is constantly trying to pull our kids away from us.
The fact that you get music enough to have chills immediately makes you my friend and brings you into my top 10 favorite people. Thank you for going outside of your comfort box.
So, I just found you... And you melted my heart! I cried right along with you, even though I've heard it before and loved it... It was like hearing it for the first time again, with you!
Eminem has opened himself up at times like no one else, I think. Amazing vulnerability and honesty. Facing his conflicts, his ambivalence, his failings. His work moves me.
Rest in peace to your son. ❤️🩹 may you feel his warmth in the sunshine, see his smile in the moonlight, and hear his laughter in the sound of the breezes through tree branches.
The moment when he tells his daughter to go play by herself gets me. My son is about to turn one so he's still very young, but there are so many days when he comes home from daycare and I am exhausted from work, and I find myself fighting against feeling that I just want him to go to bed so I can relax, because I know I'll never get these moments back and he's only going to get bigger. This song is a great reminder to make sure that as the years go by, I can't let myself wind up having regrets about not enjoying and remembering the time I have with him.
This really hits home. I've been a truck driver since 21 and I had my daughter @ 19, so in order to provide for my family I decided I would live my life on the highways. My daughter at age 6 literally piled boxes in front of the door of our apartment and stood in front of them trying to keep me from leaving. I kept telling her that it was the last time I would leave and that I would be back in a few days. Nothing breaks your heart like having to hear your kid cry behind the door you just closed. One of those days I didn't make it home. I have had 3 more kids and they have all done the same when I leave. Now my daughter is 18 and in college. How I wish I could turn back time cause of the 18yrs we had her I feel like I only spent 5-8yrs with her. No shame for shedding a tear. Great reaction! 👍
"You know this is gonna be his tribute when he's gone someday" I've heard this song too many times i can count, and now when i heard that it hit me. Damn. It's gonna be a bad day.
Eminem’s music basically got me through my childhood. Now I’m 26 with three babies and his words hit so much harder than they used to. I looked up to Em as a big brother figure when I was young because my home life was abusive. It felt like his words untangled my feelings and helped me understand how I felt. Loved the reaction ❤️
As, a teenage daughter that has had her dad in and out of her life since she was young, this song hits hard. My dad has always played Eminem growing up, especially in the car and everytime he would say this song reminds him of me. Since me and my dad do have a complicated relationship, I relate to the fact in the lyrics that Eminem's daughter, Hallie, didn't want him to go. I've felt that way many times not wanting my father to go, and be out of my life. And some of the time it can be hard without my father but I still listen to this song whenever I miss him or want him to be around. I'm sure many girls or women in their life feel that same way too.
“Headlights”, “Going through changes” and “Best Friend” by yellow wolf featuring Eminem are another pair of great Em songs that hit hard. He is an amazing lyricist. Even his crazy out of mind stuff carries triple and double meaning, with multi level internal and external rhyming schemes. The way he can bend words, his cadence. So many things. Pretty amazing.
All great songs that make great reactions for the reasons you say. I wonder if he needs a bit more context into why they were written and the overall Eminem journey before jumping into those ones though. It's tricky because up to and including Recovery*, it's all one long life story in a way. *(MMLP2 as well, but I feel he begins to repeat himself a little from then on, and switches focus more onto being an incredible wordsmith).
Being one of those "busy dads" of a 5-year-old, this one had me crying like a little baby. Thanks for the vid, mate. One love from Germany. Keep on doing what you're doing.
As an addict, this song speaks to me in ways it didn't before I started attending an addiction recovery group. It's a tough listen, but it just speaks to the soul in ways that other songs don't. It's just... wow.
I'm currently on Methadone Maintanance. Life was stable For last years but I just Found My twin brother dead from overdosing on opiates and xanax. I'm so fuckin'lost now and don't Know what to doooooo!!!!! He was My best friend and a Brother!!!!!😭😭
This is THE BEST reaction to this song that I e ever seen. So genuine and really feels so good to just watch the video. This is lyrically and emotionally the best song I love of Eminem!
I'm 68 & a OG of this man. I've been one since he 1st started & he's my boy!! Have you watched 8 mile? If not you should, it's his life & extremely raw. And by the way I'm a woman. Jethro Tull was/is still the bomb. Thanks for his shoutout. Akita, 🇺🇸 lady
Wow, comparing it to "Cats in the Cradle" gave me chills. My dad listened to that song when I was growing up and he'd always get teary-eyed and quiet. He died of cancer when I was 10, and all these years later I still can't even hear that song without crying. I've been a big Eminem fan for 20yrs, and one of my favorite things about him as an artist is how honest and introspective he is with many of his songs, this being one of the most powerful examples. It was relatable to me as a kid, and now as a father it means even more. Fantastic reaction, thank you for sharing your experience with us. You've earned a new subscriber here for sure, keep up the great work!
Same, but my dad didn’t die. He left when I was 4 years old. It was weird when I would get to visit him he would often be listening to Cats in the Cradle and I always felt the meaning was lost on him. Similarly, Someday Never Comes by CCR always gets me.
This song gave me such comfort when it came out. Let’s just say being able to scream the words hailey is “saying” really helped me mentally. I can’t tell you the amount of times I would sing this. Cathartic and brutally honest.
still gives me chills years later. this was one of the most powerful songs he has ever done because it's basically telling how much he sacrificed to entertain the world.
Eminem is a lyrical genius, think we all can agree on this. Also, there's no shame in having emotions. Emotion makes you human; let them show, embrace them even.
@@chasethechosenone8478 What does that mean? Are men supposed to supress their emotions "because it's girly to show emotion"? What kind of a backwards and fucked up sentiment is this?
Darkness by Eminem. It's perfect reaction fodder, and you'll get a look at (nearly) current year Eminem. Some fans feel differently, but I know a lot of us agree that he's only ever gotten better with age, and he shows no signs of stopping. The dude is a virtuoso. It's just inhuman what he's able to do with his pen. He's like Brahms, channeling a higher power to create something profound. If i could oversell Em any more, I would try haha
Yeah he has 100% gotten better a lot of what he says goes over people’s heads these days. People are so used to dumbed down lyrics they just don’t get it
That’s what it feels like, listening to the greatest lyricist in Hip Hop history. You’re so cool and I‘m happy for you that you discovered him for yourself in 2022. For me it’s still hitting me the same way it did back in 2005.
I enjoyed this as a young man but now as a father, who battles depression and substance abuse, it hits hard. Do not feel ashamed or a need to apologize. Never seen you before but I subscribed. Takes courage friend. Have a blessed day.
ADHD a lot of the time can manifest in the ways you describe. An ADHD screener from your doctor can't hurt ❤️ I lived my life thinking it was a made up excuse for hyper boys. Oh boy was I so damn wrong. I didn't get my dx until 32 and I won't ever stop promoting awareness. Going uninformed and undiagnosed almost destroyed my entire life.
“Don’t let your prejudices get in the way of something special that can come your way” valuable life lesson for everybody there. Thank you for your reaction and your time. Loved this video!
Like hip hop or not, he is a genius wordsmith. His story telling and passion should be felt weather its your type of music or not. This is real true hip hop, from the heart and soul. You can tell by your reaction. I'm only 26 so haven't been a fan from day, but this song has made me sit and think since I was about 11. So powerful
This was a song I loved when I was younger, but now that I'm older and have a daughter, and have lost my dad, it's a very hard song to listen to and not tear up. It's crazy how perspectives can change and things can affect you and hit you so diff as life changes
Eminem can take your earth and beat him to death with words at every age if you just lisen the lyrics correctly... I'm 18 now and i don't have baby's or drugs problems or family problems but he's like that... Eminem is one of the rarest person Who can make me cry against my will... We all understand him even we don't experienced the same things... This is why em is the greatest rapper of his generation. Everyone say it...😎🤌🗿
When this song came out, it was speculated that he was retiring because his daughter wasn’t happy about her dad making music as it caused him to be away from home and didn’t give him any time to spend with her and her mum. The video depicted that, hence the complication greatest hits album title Curtain Call The Hits.
yup. this is my 10,000th time hearing this and the first time was when i was in 5th grade and im 21 now ... and i was literally tearing up even more than him ...
This reminds me of when me and my dad first went and saw avengers endgame. My dad is a tough guy. Tattoos, muscle cars, rock music, just an all around badass. So anyway, I look over at him after tony stark dies and the movie ends and see that he is CRYING in the theatre. I asked him what’s wrong and he said “he left his daughter behind! It’s YOUR fault I’m this emotional! This shit NEVER affected me this much until I had YOU” then we hugged. I’m so happy I have a loving relationship with my father, and I cherish every second I have with him. :)
This hits deep every time I hear it. I've worked overseas for 4 years without my wife and daughter with me. I missed my daughters 2nd through 5th birthdays because I couldn't get time off work. Decided to quit, pack my bags and be with my girls. The best decision I've ever made. For the past 2 years I've enjoyed every moment with them. You can always find ways to earn money, but you can never get back the time missed. And you sir have got a new subscriber 💪
Much respect brother, I my self as others that work on the road 100% of the time sacrifice everything to support the people we love. It’s not an easy path in life obviously, but definitely helps to treasure the people waiting for you back home.
halliburton/kbr? i spent 10 years in iraq with them as a site manager. was always scared to leave afraid i wouldn't have a job when i got back. missed my son growing up and my wife died in a car wreck while i was there. can't get any of it back
Key to listening to Eminem is to not just hear a song but to really listen to the detail, lyrical flow back and forth it’s so intelligent how it’s written and delivered
Welcome, to the world of being a fan of the greatest Hip Hop lyricist in history. Our hearts laugh and cry frequently and intensely (especially since there will likely never be anyone coming close Eminem‘s genius). We meet on wednesday‘s for coffee. And congratulations to you man for being so open minded to listen to this masterpiece. As someone who grew up with his songs, it‘s an honor to see how deeply it touched you.
The thing with Eminem's music is just how polarizing it really, really is. There's a generation who can't STAND his music because of his early days, from his diss tracks to his mom, drug use, etc. But as time went on, he slowly matured. As a father of 2, it's sooo hard for me to listen to this all the way through now. This song makes me feel like I'm just hoping I'm doing enough for my two girls.
Tbh most of Eminems fans liked him better when he was younger a lot of people don't think he's that great now a days I don't agree with them bit he had more fans when he was younger for sure
its crazy how much having kids affects listening to this song. i was a teen when this came out, enjoyed it but it didnt hit me in the feels. listened to it 3 years ago for the first time since ive had kids and it brought tears to my eyes.
As a father myself. This song helps one reflect on their own actions. I've caught myself doing this to my daughter unintentionally. She is the world me.
People like to talk about the greatest rapper ever, but IMO he's one of the best musical artists ever. I also really appreciate the beats, the production and everything that helped Em produce some the best music we've ever heard.
I still can't believe that when this song was released, my country (Australia) was the only country on the planet that this made number 1 on the charts. Unappreciated genius.
If you liked this I think you would like his song Beautiful, Legacy, Guts over Fear and many more. His catalogue is vast and covers many different facets of life. I think you’ll enjoy the journey. Hope to see more. Great reaction
First time I’ve heard one of his songs. Holy crap (in a wow I CAN understand the words in a rap song at 64)!!! I am full on admitting to my being closed off to even giving it a shot:( Don’t waste it (said someone wise)!
Thats the thing about eminem he got so much bad press when he first came out because of his "bad" words. I mean they literally protested his concerts, tried to ban him everywhere and blamed him for things people were doing because of his song content. But the guys slim shady persona was just that a persona, something to get him noticed and to express thoughts that polite society would not normally allow. The guy however is a genius, very good at what he does and has tons of songs people can relate to. Its modern poetry and should be cherished for the art form it is.
I'm an older guy too. But i have been an Eminem fan for a while now; grew up to hip hop. There are only a few artists that can envoke and provoke such strong emotions. Your reaction brought me to tears. Appreciate you and your channel so much! Thank you
I came across this video randomly. It turned into the best reaction video of my favorite artist I’ve ever seen. I’ve heard this song 1000 times. But this song like so many others, I’ve listened to but never let it in. Watching you let this song in made me let the song in. Now having a four year old daughter, it is though I heard and felt this song for the first time. I give you so much respect for admitting you Had hip pegged all wrong, and that this song single-handedly changed your mind about the music. You won’t find that in any other reaction video anywhere else. Much love.
Wow, thanks Dave. Nothing like becoming a father for something like this to re-define your whole perspective on these things. Thank you so very much for your kind words. Hug those little munchkins for me! Blessings my friend.
As a hardcore Eminem fan, here are some suggestions (definitely missed some, might edit it later): Castle + Arose (both of them together, in this order) - for if you want to get emotional Mockingbird - another amazing one directed at his daughter Best Friend (Yelawolf feat. Eminem) - one of Em's best verses ever, with a dose of emotion Darkness (a bit heavy) - amazing storytelling with a twist Bad Guy - if you enjoyed Stan Leaving Heaven - Talks about his (horrible) relationships with his father Not Afraid - great message of recovery marking his sober period Cleaning Out My Closet Headlights (Tells about his image/relationship with his mom in two very different moments of his life and states of mind) Lose Yourself - probably his most famous one, relates to his semi-biographical movie Never Love Again - (spoiler try to find the double entendre throughout the song) Godzilla Rap God (Some of his most famous recent works, really shows off his skills) Caterpillar Fast Lane I Will Homicide (Eminem and his friends can rap) Stay Wide Awake Kim 97 Bonnie and Clyde My Darling Careful What You Wish For (Psychotic - but amazing - storytelling (he gets really graphical/violent on some of these)) Some (really) honorable mentions: Beautiful Like Toy Soldiers Sing for the Moment Tone Deaf Gnat Soldier Marsh The Ringer Not Alike + Killshot (diss at Machine Gun Kelly, with a response in between called Rap Devil) Those Kinda Nights River Venom Fall White America No Love
@@travisk6221 none of those rappers you just named made it bigger than him in the rap game lmao he has outsold every rapper by many many multi millions
"My songs can make you cry, take you by surprise at the same time Can make you dry your eyes with the same rhyme See what you're seein' is a genius at work, which to me isn't work" -My Dad’s Gone Crazy, Eminem
Damn, you triggered me! I've listened to this song for years and right now I just got hit with the meaning, my kids are grown up now 18 and 19 and the realisation of how much time I've lost has just really hit me in the feels. 41, sat with tears. Damn!
I remember Eminem talking about watching hailie get crowned homecoming queen from the school cafeteria because he didnt want to take the spotlight off her he always made it to everything she did he is such an amazing dad she is very successful herself today and they still have a strong bond please listen to hailie's song its an emotional song too
''I'm humbled and corrected'' Shady did that to a lot of people during his reign and not many got close to his ungodly level. He is a master of his craft and one of his kind. Your reaction is perfectly normal. Just embrace it 👊
This is by far the best Eminem song. I know exactly what you mean. I didnt (and still dont) like any rap besides Eminem and NF. They both take rap at a different angle and bring something new to the table. Eminem’s word play and poetry is just so beautiful. Its a crime that this song isnt even that popular compared to his other songs.
When I was a child I always wanted to have a dad that cared for me like em does for his daughter. I have a nephew now and I am there and he loves me. I am so happy.
Em can make just about any words rhyme, he is the best at what he does, Dre will tell you the same thing, so glad he met Dre when he did, I can't imagine rap without slim.
It's nice to listen to this song and know that Em's daughter is a beautiful woman and she's her dad's biggest fan. She shared her Spotify hindsight for 2021 and it shows that she listen to her dad's music a whole lot lol.
