Former Eminem Fan Reacts to | Eminem - Castle & Arose! 

Yep doody was what Proof and Em Called each other, Em mentions the story behind that in the leaked Eminem song “difficult”

@@Shadydan05appreciate the insight fam 🙌

I'm not a Stan, but Revival is Masterpiece yet to be discovered. And I love Kamikaze & MTBMB even more,but I didn't like when he squashed Revival CD in Fall video, especially if he had defended same album on Ringer

Yeah man, and I completely get it. No artist wants their music to get trampled on unnecessarily. Its not right, but dont get used to me liking every song on this channel bro lol theres bound to be some bad apples

Forsure man, definitely made me walk down memory lane for a bit. Those were scary times lol

😭 my Eminem list is so long bro, all of those are on it. I just checked, and I dont even remember bad guy being requested anyone lol but it was

Yeah I had to look it up while editing lol it was bothering me. But yes, Great touch forsure. Rick Rubin is a genius.

That sounds interesting what album is it on?

@@counterreaction music to be murdered by. Best beat switch I’ve ever heard

@@damaconx6854 damnnn, love me some beat switches. Was sad when they went away in the 90s, glad they are being used again. Gnat was dope af.

@@counterreaction yeah gnat’s is dope too this is diff tho, catches you off guard. Another fite bear switch is “discombobulated” But “never love again” is up there with Kendrick DNA for goat beat switch

You were right 😆 and you are welcome. Its doody??? Mannnn, i need to start looking at lyrics. But yes two really great songs. So glad I got to listen to them.

@@counterreaction yeah it's Doody 😂 I have a list and I know you have a lot of requests so don't stress. Don't approach me (xzibit feat Eminem) My darling No appologies Beautiful Appreciate you! 🙏🏼

@@REDACTED244 that's dope! I like spoken word.

@@Aztekprincess 😭 you guys have me working overtime for EM lol all good. I enjoy making these videos for you guys. Also don’t want to get into too many different artists at once. Too many fanbases to grow

@@counterreaction lol! You did present your channel with "former eminem fan" so a lot of fans going in hard trying to get you to be a fan again. 😂 And thank you for doing it 🙏🏼 you have a great thing going on here.

Yeah man, highly enjoyable experience 🙌 ayyye, appreciate you bill. Yeah bro those were the days 😆 simpler times. Thanks for the well wishes. A shame this video earned me 4 subscribers given how long it took to make, edit and process but as long as the OG subscribers are still entertained, I consider it a job well done lol

Man I loved rock bottom, such a great song!

@@counterreaction Rock bottom is so dope love it!

@@counterreaction yeah, Rock Bottom & Way I Am. Are still probably my fave Em tracks, because of where I was in life when I heard both those tracks & how i related to them in my early 20's. Hell, now in my late 40's, Way I Am is still a go to song when I'm really pissed off. For some reason it's therapeutic to put on & spit a long with the anger & when over I'm actually called down. Then in Ems 2nd half of career, I could relate to tracks like Deju Vue when I was going thru addiction & Not Afraid when I got sober. (Which many write that track off as just being commercial, but when you break it down it's pretty bar heavy) Most of early Em, I was more impressed with his skill level & complex style and visuals, cause I couldn't relate to a lot if it. But as I aged, it's tracks like When I'm Gone (idgof who ya are, if you gotta a baby girl & that song don't hit you, you got no heart. ) Its ultimately been the idgof attitude of saying what he wanted to say with skill, but also never being afraid to open the curtain to his real life trials and tribulations. Obviously the skills go without saying. The content can be great but if you can't express in a skillful way on wax, it's not.get listens

@@CSpad the way I am was so influential to me. In many ways! Appreciate you watching bro 🙌

@@counterreaction @counterreaction Np brother. I truly appreciate you being honest about your opinions, and always making it known that they are just that, your opinions & what you like and/or don't like A couple facts about "The Way I Am" that I didn't know till years later. 1. Besides the true emotion & anger you hear him spitting & message, why it not only hit me hard but also why the feel, flow & Rhyme sceme/pattern, just worked so well & just flowed so well. It was written in the poetry style of what's called anaseptic trimester. Which is the style that Dr. Seuss actually wrote poetry in. I've only been able to locate 1 other hip hop track that was written the same way which was Andre3k in the 4th verse of Aquemini. 2. We would never have gotten that track, if Jimmie Iovine didn't tell Dre & Em, that MMLP was great when they turned it in. But, that it was dark. And that needed a lil less dark track to release on the radio to get buzz for the album. Both Dre & Em were pissed. As the story goes, Em sat pouting in the studio for a few days, with hoodoe pulled down. They played him all kind of beats etc. Then when producers were on a break, the keyboardist picked up an acoustic guitar & just started to strum a lil, and Em sat up & said that's it. That's how Real Slim Shady came about, (which I know was the mainstream radio play ish.... but I thought it was hilarious because he basically shat on everyone that he knew he'd be in rotation with & also other pop culture things that were popping at the time. Most importantly it birthed Way I Am. Hence the line "I'm never gonna be able to top what My Name is" (in terms of #'s) Without 1 there wasn't the other and considering it went onto be the highest selling hip hop album of all time, gotta give Jimmy some credit. Sorry for long posts, as an old school hip hop head, long b4 Em came out, I love hearing lil tidbits & inside ish from the studios & background of song creation. Figured you would too. Keep doing you, and continued success bro. ✌🏼

Ahhh got it. I remember him mentioning a brother a while back.

@@counterreactionyep half brother he mentions Nathan/ Nate in cleaning out my closet and headlights

Yep, his half brother that he ended up adopting when he got enough money so he could get him out of foster care. He was a teen when em adopted him and he is in a couple of his music videos. A few years ago Nate/Nathan legally changed his last name to Mathers, which is pretty cool. He is married with kids of his own now.

@@erikahutchcraft1742 ohh I didn’t know that he adobted him too , I know he adobted Whitney/Stevie and Alaina , Hailie still considers Nathan as her “uncle”

​@Shadydan05 She actually calls Nate her "bruncle" because even though hes her uncle, they are only 10 years apart, and growing up together in the same house, so she also looks up to him as an older brother aswell.

I hope so man, in a perfect world I would enjoy every song I listen to lol and thats across all genres. Appreciate you watching.

Coming up. Owe that reaction to a subscriber

Appreciate you bro 🙌 it’s been a long road, but I’m all the better for it. Thanks for watching 🙏❤️

Its on the list brotha 🙌

@@REDACTED244 I wanna be sitting front row for that challenge. Too many fake singers would absolutely look and sound terrible. Let's gets that challenge to go viral. But something tells me nobody would take auto tune off their voices. That's like asking some females to go without makeup challenge haha.

You guys make some great points 😆

@@REDACTED244 in a sea of fakes and clout chasers the real people stand out to me. I will always hold real n genuine people over those who just talk and fake their talents.

Believe is coming soon mav, appreciate you dropping by 🙏

Same 🙌

Ayyye 🙌 appreciate you watching my guy. Thank you for the feedback. Also, Sold alot of valium in my younger years bro, never heard anyone pronounce it that way. However, its okay to disagree on what’s acceptable. I have stretched a few bars in my day as well lol just not as egregious imo. Only example I can think of right now is feel/fill. But it was also attached to a conceptual double entendre snd phrased. So I give myself a pass lol Everything else has been pretty on point but its also why I get stuck with writers block a-lot of the time 😆 I write like a few times a year these days. I found my old soundcloud recently, so cringey. I was soooo bad 14 years ago.

@@counterreaction lol well I meant I hear people mispronounce volume. Not the other way around. Going back through old stuff is always makes me cringe. I used to think I was so fire, now I go back and can't stand it. Like, I had good ideas, but I would be trying to force it and not staying on beat. I write a lot still, but I haven't recorded in like 2 years. Life lol but I plan on it soon. It's good therapy lol. I'll check out some of your stuff if you want. That would be cool

Man when you say 2013 it seems so long ago 😆 then when I think about how long its been since I really listened to Em, it makes me feel so old 😭 headlights huh.

Love that song!

@@counterreactiontrue but then Em's career has spanned so long that I consider 2013 pretty recent. It has an official music video too.

@@papalotapuss995 ill continue to drop em videos for the current subscribers fam. But its not helping grow the channel. I think the last 6 eminem videos have got the channel a total of 13 subscribers and if my math is correct have all taken about 14 hours of recording, editing, processing time. All em videos are of course claimed, so theres gotta be a trade off, but with my approach its not working out, my fault forsure. But also the dislikes are insane 😆 I get it though. I really do. No harm. But with all that being said, I’ll add it to the list.

Haha all good bro, appreciate you being first 🙌

I gotta listen to more of it man. Been out of the loop for a long long time

Yeah this ones really hard not to like, my favorite eminem songs so far I think. Well not overall, but ever since I started reacting to his newer stuff. I think its okay not to like these songs and avoid the hater label (ONLY) if you don’t like either storytelling in general, orrr if the subject matter isnt relatable. Other than that, I cant see someone not liking these ones.

🙌 best sitcom ever, and dont let anyone tell you different Daniel 😎😆

Its on the channel 🙌

Its on the list 🙌

@@counterreaction if you can, def recommend with music vid, it adds to the atmosphere and theme. And lyrics are simple

@@DaP84 fosho 🙌 greatly appreciated.

Its a little clickbaity, former eminem fan is perfect 🙌 it perfectly describes what I am. Idk about the stripper part, and also, I have a pretty awesome job.

Appreciate you 🙌 was recommended that I did it this way. Had to make sure I listen to the eminem professionals on the channel lol

@@counterreaction yeah man these two songs were two of the best songs in Revival which is a shame cause they are great songs in his worst album so it was overlooked

😆 bit of a short scare huh lol man this video took me so long to edit. I do my best to edit out all my ums and deep breaths lol idk if you can tell but im also very camera shy its why I look away alot, so alot of the times ill say things without looking at the camera and then I’ll repeat them and look at the camera as I know its a better way to connect with the audience.

@@counterreaction your good bud, I'm an extrovertadly introvert myself. I get it.

😆🙌 lmfao love it bro

Appreciate your comment bro 🙌 and yeah, I knew what he was trying to do. I used to love Valium and soma back in the day lol I’ll peep the song since I probably wont react to it 🤝

@@counterreaction lmao word. I also used to be very familiar with certain prescription pills but yea bro marsh is one of his newer but really fire songs and he does almost exactly what you were talking about about with the Valium/volume word play. I really wasn’t a fan of revival at all besides a couple songs. He tried to be too political and woke and shit. It was a total miss for me personally.

Appreciate you 🙏 means alot

Heaven is on the list, but it will not be next unfortunately. Zeus and believe are next 🙌🙏

Ayyye 🙌 appreciate you as always fam.

Ill do my best to get around to it

I don’t remember what I missed from this, some clarification from my subscribers was necessary.

Appreciate you bro

@@counterreaction cheers bro. What are you dropping next?

@@shayruach the ringer, believe and zues I believe. Only have the ringer recorded. Thats for em. Later today is angelina, tomorrow is falling in reverse and I think Ez mil.

@@counterreaction awesome, can't wait🙏

@@shayruach appreciate you shay! As always bro 🤝

I have not bro lol

@@counterreaction That's his best writing

@@ClifffSVK if thats true, I look forward to more 🙌

@@counterreactionI wouldn't say his best but it's great. But don't let the accents on some songs ruin your appreciation of the lyricism

@@darealkay7517 accents? Hes american 😭

It’s possible lol

Im not following brotha. But if I had to choose one of the two, I like the fact that fear forces us to make calculated decisions lol

@@counterreaction sorryy about that. I meant. Can i recommend Guts over Fear by Eminem? Haha

@@dv251966 ohhh 😆 its all good. Umm thats the first time its been recommended thats why I didn’t know what you meant. My list is already really long, I don’t mind adding another one though. Just don’t know when I’ll be able to get to it.

Who is dave 😭

Dave is a super U.K. rapper who did Black. Album is called Psychodrama. Other songs - Heart attack, Question Time, how I met my ex & my 19th Birthday or an easy listen to Funky Friday. Heart Attack is special

Noones mentioned that bro. I definitely see the correlation though. Makes perfect sense.

Appreciate you.

My pleasure 🙌🤝

Yes 🙌

Depends on who’s there, definitely a victory for em. In my household that was money down the shitter.

@@counterreaction depends on who’s there? I wasn’t talking about you or Em’s dynamic. I was talking about mine. In my house hold full of addicts that flush sound was a victory for us.

I said what i said

😆 I don’t disagree, appreciate you watching lol

It was an amazing listen bro

Can you please edit your comment to make sense 🙏 thank you.

Man you humble me. I can’t agree with you there, but I still do appreciate the kind words as always chris. Yeah man this was a heavy song. An absolutely amazing listening experience through and through ❤️🤝

@@counterreaction Nothing beats being real, & you sir are crushing the being real part. Keep it up & see you in the next one!👌🎵

@@christopher4101 thanks again homie, more on the way 🙌🙏

@@counterreaction Do me a huge favor. Bump the "The Ringer" reaction up your list. Im wanting to see your reaction to that. Its angry Em like in chloroseptic remix. The ringer is first song from the album (kamikaze) that dropped after chloreseptic remix song you heard when he ended his verse saying he would be back to come at throats

@@christopher4101 bro already recorded lol its coming Wednesday I think, or Thursday. Have to edit it. Its a mixed bag, I’ll tell you that. Im sure alot went over my head. He mentioned some pop culture stuff I was not familiar with

The pop group??

@counterreaction yeah not sure if they sing the original but it's called the rose in the backround

@@martinbrophy6898 ohhh its bette midler, had to look it up while editing.

@counterreaction aww right lol I know westlife did a version only know because from uk and the partner loves them haha

@@martinbrophy6898 I loved pop back in the late 90’s and early 2000’s it’s transformed quite a bit since then. They had 1 or 2 songs I enjoyed. Just couldn’t compete with the top groups here in the states.

Lol appreciate you watching 🙌

That makes you the second person to request it. Its on a long list fam 🙌

Meaning they were the shit
