Em is the #9 selling artist of ALL TIME.. Not just Hip Hop.. Dude is up there with The Beatles and Rolling Stones and shit

True story. I saw Drake at a lounge in Miami and people were like “oh look, there’s Drake” Eminem would shut down the whole city anywhere in the world. People underestimate his stardom.

Lol they tried to downplay Em saying " he was a big artist at one time" as if he still isn't. loved Joyner's response to that

Charlemagne always gotta take a tiny shot at Em...Joyner shut it down real quick though 😂

I also think Em is just naturally an introvert I think Hailey even said that

I laughed out loud when Benzino criticized Em for not being in the hood like Em can just walk down the street without being instantly mobbed and surrounded. No savings having ass Benzino can confidently walk through any neighborhood because if someone robs him they'll just be practicing.

Eminem “I can’t take a shit in the bathroom without someone sanding by it, no I won’t sign an autograph, you can call me an asshole, I’m glad but I am whatever you say I am”

Em still top 5 streaming hip hop acts and is #1 surprisingly often.

In the benzine diss, he said something like, “why weren’t you at nips funeral.” I thought that was so stupid when I heard it. If Eminem was there, all the headlines would have been about Eminem being there. People would have swarmed it just to see him. He would have taken away from the situation by being there. To give the best support, let it be about nipsey. For Eminem, that means not showing up. It sucks, but it’s what it is when your star power is that massive.

This is why Marshall stays in Detroit because his "fame" doesn't affect how people treat him there. I read he can actually venture out comfortably in the D without the same level of media/crowds that he would if he were anywhere else. When the Superbowl was here in Cali, and everyone who appeared with Dre in it appeared for the pre-interviews that weekend, Dre said that Em wasn't in attendance because "ALL of L.A> would've needed to shutdown and the level of security would have been crazy." Even when Em was doing videos on IG from his hotel room, his manager Paul had him record in front of a white wall so that nothing would be accessible for people to try and gage where he was staying at, HE IS STILL RELEVANT and trolls like Benzino can talk all the shit they want, THAT part IS crystal clear and will likely never change. He's smart not to allow too many people in his circle. I keep my circle small, other than a few close "pals", it is only my family I let in. You literally can't trust anybody in this life. (Sometimes, those people ARE related too). Big UPS to the G.O.A.T. #StanForLife

He’s getting the Michael Jackson treatment in terms of people swarming, chasing him etc. call you have to do is listen to the song Fine Line to know how he feels.

Eminem has always remained in his bubble I mean back in the early 2000s he was touring and going everywhere, and reason he keeps a low profile is not only because of his fame but the world now today is pretty intense than it ever was as things be happening everywhere. We all know he stays on dial with Dre, 50, Royce and his kids plus another person he’s really close with is Elton John as they had a good friendship throughout the years many don’t talk about.

sometimes you can’t even express what’s going on in your mind man, sometimes all you can do is make sure you’re okay. can’t blame Marshall..

Man Em is an absolute legend. He don't need a lot of "friends".

People forget when em first blew up he literally had everyone from his mom to the kid that bullied him growing up sue him. Combine that with the level of stardom he has, and you can see why dude stays to himself and has a small inner circle.

I respect that.. Joyner Lucas even did an interview for our students - now that's humble... About to collaborate with Eminem and he had time for us That is a stand up guy. Period.

I remember Em doing an interview on the streets of Detriot when he first got big. He said in the interview that everywhere he goes, he has his security scope everything out before he comes out. I mean, he said, EVERYWHERE. And plus, everyone be coming out of the wood works once you got 💰 So I understand why he is the way he is with himself and his family.

Eminem in his last tour did 90k in London 2 days in a row , he broke the record of attendance in Australia 85k and Oslo Norway 54k , Milano Italy 85k , in 2014 he sold out Wembley 90k tickets in 45 minutes , he did 2 shows in 2 days .. Eminem is the biggest rapper in the world .. point blank.

Em himself said this in Fine Line.

I totally understand it , I’m very careful with my circle . Handful of people I fuck wit .

But that not even just industry people. That's everybody you come in contact with in life. I don't even allow many people in my crib unless they're family. I don't have any friends but my wife. You can't really trust anybody unless you've had time to know them beyond the surface.

Marshall has been through more shit than any of us can even imagine in a lifetime.. we're lucky hes strong enough to still be here thats for sure

Em is getting to a point where people almost view him not as a normal human. But as this lyrical God that can't be touched. Which puts him in a position where he can't act normal and stuff. Everyone just bas high expectations for the dude

and 50 Cent has Eminem on speed dial and they drop random personal texts to each other lmao. Really shows how close they actually are as friends, almost like a brother

You guys have no idea of the magnitude/magnetism of a star like Eminem. I had an experience working in a restaurant in Italy when Johnny Depp was at his peak with Pirates. He obviously closed the restaurant, but somehow the word got out. I swear to GOD, I blinked and a bunch of people were literally pushing against the glass to try to see him. 5 min later we had to call the police, the fire department and hell knows who else just to keep people SAFE! They will literally stomp themselves to get close to a star too. It's insane. Eminem can't just go out to buy a pack of cigarettes. He needs a disguise. They also have to deal with autograph hunters. People who go after celebs to get their signature so they can sell on Ebay. Everyone wants a little piece of you. It's crazy. You've gotta protect your sanity somehow.

Mike Tyson himself said he was intimidated by Em’s presence lol

Eminem WAS a big star. He’s not a big star anymore. He’s an ICON. A living legend. That’s much different than just being a big star. Michael Jackson, Taylor Swift, Prince, Lady Diana, Eminem, Beyoncé, these people had and have the level of iconic status that say, like, The Beatles had. They would just get mobbed if they just went out like a regular person. And as far as making new friends goes, pretty much any 50 year old (yes Eminem is 50 😂) has their friend set fixed and settled; most aren’t looking for new friends. The people they want in their lives are already there. 🤷🏼‍♀️ I’m not even 50 and that’s how I am lol. I have my friends from childhood, people I met on my come up, my family and wife, and that’s it. I’m not looking for new friends. The ones I already have are the people I know I can trust. It’s like I always say: more acquaintances, more problems. 😂

Eminem is the GOAT 🙌 His technical skills are insane

Ive been saying it for a long ass time now ..Eminem is the Michael jackson of hiphop. They have so much in common in terms of their music changing the industry and their genre of music. GOATS

This was an amazing video to watch an listen to the breakdown. I appreciate it especially as an Eminem fan

Thabks for the video didnt know joyner had an album out. Gonna go listen

Joyner a humble dude. Also a beast , greetings from 🇵🇭

Eminem is a Top 25 most famous person on Earth. He’s in that rare collection with Trump, Obama, LeBron, Michael Jordan, Tom Brady, Oprah, The Rock, Elon Musk, Jeff Bezoz, Mark Zuckerberg, Britney Spears, Madonna, Bieber, Taylor Swift, Rihanna, Drake, DiCaprio, Ronaldo, Messi, Mr Beast, Kim Kardashian, Kanye, etc.

One of the times I tried getting clean and sober was around 2012/2013 (I been clean since 2017 now) I ended up at a 3/4 house at Gratiot and 8 mile in Eastpointe. One of my roommates had this secret that he couldn’t let anyone know, well we found out, Eminem was his recovery sponsor. We had a limo showing up once or twice a week in front of our house to Pick up the kid he was helping. I guess dudes dad went to school with Em and reached out. One day he got out of the limo really, really quick and came inside the house to sign autographs. Then one time his sponsee was in the phone with him and we were all gathered around like idiots trying to listen and I guess Em could hear us all and he laughed and told my roommate, if they got anything they want to ask or tell me, do it now, so we each got to say something or ask something while he was on speaker, I was last person to go, my brain went sideways and I asked “do you really have an elevator in your house?” And he laughed hard as hell and said “yes, hard work pays off, but nothing felt better than kicking these drugs” and that has stuck with me since then. Miss all them guys. We didn’t even believe him until that limo showed up. And it was Em had gained a little of weight so when he got out to sign stuff for us, we barely recognized him, he was over 200 pounds. But he looked like a ball of energy.

Thanks Joyner, that was really interesting and that's for shearing it with us, bro

First time I’ve come across you but great video bro. You’re good at this. Keep at it.

I have never met a single individual that doesn’t like at LEAST one Eminem song, and cant quote at LEAST one of his bars. I’m talking all age spectrum. Old to young. Not one person. My grandmother at 83 could even quote the Hi My Name Is as a joke in casual conversation, and she was not a rap fan. Drake? Didn’t know a single one of his songs. Eminem’s music translates and transcends all barriers. Because his music is about his actual life and people relate to him. But he’s also funny, entertaining, innovative, and incredibly deep. Kdot gets close, but even he will never be Em. And like or not, Em will always be the GOAT.

I totally 💯 agree and relate

Im from Perth, Australia. I can tell you when Eminem came to perform he filled up "Optus Stadium" with 60,000 people. Imagine going anywhere in the world and having that kind of popularity!

Having boundaries is a skill you build over time especially if your a genuine human being who wants to interact in a positive manor, and get close with people. Everyone is your enemy, and that's how you should move first before anything. Just be cool, and ease off. Know when to draw the line, and learn to say no.

This channel deserve 1M subscribers

Joyner is a good dude. I think him and Eminem could be friends, it’s too bad he won’t let him into that circle. Em has to pass the torch at some point and I can think of no better person than Joyner Lucas.

Sorry brother that you don't have more subs vs your views. Good luck and great voice and laid out perfect for podcasts

Joyner learned about Boundaries. Everyone should follow suit.

Im sure after MJ grocery shopped he said... "ehhhhhhhh I aint missin much!!😂😂."

Key word, BOUNDARIES

He is still big his songs and albums are getting over a billions of streams still to this day. I see it every now and again another album or song goin 1 billion or 2 billion times streamed etc

You poke a stick at a pitbull, you get bit, B These words stick to you like Krazy Glue when you diss me 'Cause they just bounce off me, like bullets to 50 I'm the beautiful-lest thing and you gonna miss me when I'm gone - eminem.

If you grow up in Michigan. You surround yourself with people you know and grow up with. People who know you b4 you make it.

Yea you don’t play with the 🐐 unless you ready

It's not just "he's on that level/he's on a certain level/he's reached a certain level/etc". He's also extremely recognizable, both physically and verbally. The min he opens his mouth, no matter what tone of voice it is or what emotion is speaking. We already know it's him. Doesn't matter what he wears, whether or not he has a beard, or what color he dyes his hair. You automatically can spot him out of a crowd. All of those elements. Are powerless on there own, but greatly amplify each other all equally

No matter how famous you are Your still human and your gonna die off like everybody else ..so enjoy your time on earth while you can

He humbled Charlemagne real quick.

Probably because he's a human being and he just kind of wants to be left alone like most of us. Except us normal people have the freedom to just go wherever we want and do whatever we want he can't do that. If I saw Eminem out and about for some odd reason I would just nod at him and keep walking because I know that's probably what he would want. He doesn't want to talk to everybody he sees.

Em is a legend regardless hes just different and he been killing it for years 🔥🔥🔥💯

Eminem is the best rapper ever period.

He’s not wrong less friends more peace.

Like dude said Eminem ain’t drop a album in like 4 years in still is the biggest artist in hip hop 😮

Protect yourselves at all times

Stan by eminem starts playing in the background after the video ends 💯

Even I'm carefull with my close friend group. Can't imagine being famous as eminem to keep good friends

Proofs death also killed something in Eminem.

Facts!!!!

Em hasn’t “toured” in the US in ages. He’s done his features for other artists on their tours, charity concerts, festivals and guest appearances, but not a US tour. His last full tours have been in the UK, Europe and Australia. Marshall has never said but I always wondered if he doesn’t because of how much hate and lack of appreciation he gets in the US. All those other countries love him. The videos of his concerts there show completely sold out arenas with fans ecstatically adoring him and literally crying. I hate how much hate Marshall gets in the USA😔

Eminem is smart...

It didn't enter your mind bc you didn't wanna offend benzino

That golden eagle energy drink is absolutely amazing made in my lovely country Kosova

Check out Eminems cameo in the movie Funny People the conversation he has with Adam Sandler really hit home and about 23 note books of lyrics sit in a box with out a voice

That is why Em hates fame so much..

People who aren't famous wont understand. Imagine people coming up to you every country every city every corner turned in the entire world. For more than 2 decades. That shit would traumatize you.

5:13 that grocery store thing is crazy 🤯

what glasses is joyner lucas wearing? thank you

One thing I wanna mention that I’ve seen no one talk about on this topic, is that Em actually talks about this in “The Way I Am” Go back and listen to the song, actually one of my favorites and he goes off on how ppl wouldn’t leave him alone in public

Ppl been Saying this what you mean.

I get it man privacy is 🔑

You often lose your own soul when you gain the world(everything you could ever want). That's why i respected Prince he lived a humbled lifestyle, he pivoted towards a higher purpose later on in life and dedicated it towards trying to preserve the legacy and integrity of his people. He tried but he was only one man with a vision and could only prevent so much from happening after his demise

"was". Nah he will always be a huge star. He's like a madonna or a one of those world wide artists that years could go by but everyone knows eminem.

i love Joyner's defense to that whack ass question or "Statement"

That’s crazy and sad at the same time.. not to be able to do every day normal things like you said grocery shopping.. all the money in the world yet no freedom.. they’re trapped..

I thought eminem and Joyner were good friends until i saw this. Of course they would still speak to each other on a need to know level. I agree with how eminem has to live because of his fame, i understand why he doesnt want any new friends. It would be hard when you have that trauma

Eminem is like Michael Jordan...he can't go anywhere

Said exactly what i would....he still is

True we don't ever see Eminem go out but we did see eminem at the NFL playoffs him and Taylor Swift lol.

It’s actually because he’s Autistic, which he’s been open about in his music if you actually pay attention. We have veryyy small friend circles, the top symptom is issues with social communication and interaction, we don’t like being in public, and the majority of us have C-PTSD from traumatic lives. The whole song “Legacy” is dedicated to being Autistic, each line is describing his different ASD traits and shows him accepting the diagnosis by the end of the song.

It would be a nightmare being famous in America as people expect celebs to do something fascinating all the time. In my country very famous people are left alone and the public here would be embarrassed to blindly walk after someone shouting at them. A lot of celebs have get away places in the Irish countryside purely for that reason. Celebrity culture American style is a whole other level of cringe inducing weirdness.

Joyner real ass dude !!!

This guy went from being on Ems side but agreeing with everything Benzino was saying when he was with him in that interview. you have said Em is not your cup of tea before and its ok. However for you to be eating out of Benzinos hand when he was there and still have no realization that there are tiers of fame and Em is on Top vs clout chasing Ben is bullshit.

That must be horrible. Can't trust many people,can't go wherever you want even though you have money to do whatever you want. You live like a prisoner in a way.

you know how 50 says about diddy "he's the destination for somebody going no where" ? I feel the same way about charlamagne lol.. i can't quite explain it...

Em, is so one of the biggest artists still till this day.

Actually, it's very sad. The price of fame.

I fully understand why he is private like that. Regardless of the level each person is at, if you have been through multiple levels of BS, you just hit a point as an artist or just regular person, you have had enough of the BS. So you pull that circle around you, real small. And only ride with a select few. The older I get, the more I do the same thing. I don’t need to have a bunch of people around me, who have superficial love for you. And nefarious intentions.

Thought that there was some beef with em till you keep watching and it’s real facts about em

Fame to the point of imprisonment

Sounds like agoraphobia

facts

It seems that Eminem treasures real friendships over fake ones, which is probably why he and 50 are as close as they are, because 50 never did him dirty ever.

Why is Lucas callin Eminem the N word

Marshall got smart and understands that people suck
