@@ReactionTherapyOfficial Actually his best friend in this song hes talking about got murdered in a nightclub over a disagreement over a pool game of all things
One thing I can always say about Em is that he holds himself accountable and I respect him sooo much for that bc many ppl don’t and he made errors and he faces them . Em is truly a one of a kind
For context: proof/doody was shot at a club in Detroit, reports claimed that he pulled his gun first, hence "he wouldn't shoot at no one, he'd fight first", proof and em inspired each other, em points out they even rhymed in a similar way. Also, this is another example of eminem sampling a song and adding even more to it, this one is by ozzy Osbourne. Great videos, keep it up
‘Doody’ was the nick name of his best friend Proof, DeShaun Holton. Eminem’s song ‘Difficult’ really tells the story of their friendship and how’s Eminem felt after Proof passed. Proof was shot down in a club after an argument.
7:56 Eminem's best friend's name was Proof, they grew up together since they was kids and on april 11 2006 Proof was shot in the head and chest outside a club over a game of Pool. Eminem made another track called "You're never over" that he dedicates to Proof and it's definitely one of his most powerful songs. I hope to see you do this one as well in the future!

@@a_lil_bit_shady Rock Bottom was dope af! SSLP wasn’t that lyrical? It was a okay album? But songs like If I Had, Guilty Conscience, Rock Bottom, Still Don’t Give a Fuck, even the original and Role Model? Are his best songs off that album! Bad Meets Evil was okay I like the original instead of the album version
Marshall had done so much processing & growth in order to write this takes a real man to admit his faults and tell the world what he’s been going through & his struggles glad Em made it through all that shit he’s a better man today than he was before some fans can be so selfish and tell Em what to do with his music but nobody ever asks how he’s doing or is he all good sometimes checking on your people can go a long way just sum as simple as that Eminem The Goat Of Hip Hop Forever He’s Truly The Most Personal Rapper Since Tupac Shakur God Bless Em He’s Such A Inspiration To Many And Rightfully So🙇🏽♂️✍🏽🐐🔥✨💯(And the Hook is sampled from Ozzy Osbourne‘s song called “Changes”)
His best friend Proof (Aka Doody, Deshaun) was shot and killed by a bouncer at a club. This song is amazing, and the album came after his Relapse album. This album revolves around his recovery process during 2006-2010
The night Heath Ledger died Eminem was rushed to hospital almost in a coma from overdosing and I swear somewhere he even says that could have been him and was a strong indicator for why he wanted to recover. His best friend Proof was actually shot in a bar/nightclub by a bouncer I believe it was, they said he shot first which is what Em is referring too saying that's not like him he would fight first. Losing his best friend was a main role into his downward spiral
Also, Proof, or “Doody,” was Eminem’s best friend, who was shot and killed over a decade ago. This came out after that. It’s cool to see how he handled all of it, because I just lost one of my close friends and it’s hard but people like Juice and Eminem understand and make it better with the lyrics. Gives me goosebumps when it gets to the hospital part!
I love your reactions. Dealing with mental illness has been so hard. You are about the only therapist I feel like I’d want to continue seeing. (Let’s make that happen if possible haha) but with songs like this, I think you shouldn’t try to “like” the music, but be completely serious, and almost somber, so you can really get a feel for his situation. Either way it’s good, but I feel like that would’ve made it more powerful. Loving your channel!
The best friend he's referring to is Proof, another rapper from Detroit. Eminem and Proof were very close growing up, and Proof was one of the members of the rap group D12 which Eminem was also a part of. Proof didn't commit suicide, he was shot and killed in 2006. Eminem references Proof a lot in his music, sometimes calling him Proof, sometimes "best friend," and sometimes by his real name, DeShaun.
A rare one that not many people know of is a song called “Our House”. It’s not the song by slaughterhouse, but one that he raps by himself. It’s about his home life and exemplifies his childhood perfectly.
This was after his recovery, he's just really good at explaining how he felt when he was on drugs. He stopped taking drugs in 2008 and this song came out in 2010

I'm a psychiatrist I have a 26 year old daughter. That's how I was introduced to Eminem in the late 90s by her and her friends. I mean I liked rap before although it wasn't my favorite genre. Eminem is now my favorite and has been for years. I think he has done a lot for people with his music. This song was about when he overdosed on said pills he's speaking on. It became a problem after his best friend Proof was shot and died. He was Ems everything. After the overdose he asked his friend Elton John for help. They have both spoke on it and he has been sober for over 10years. Great song! Ps I like you would love to interview him get in line lol.
Recovery is the title of the album It was released in 2010 (2 years after he got sober) Edit: I love seeing u dancing to the music U should do him more often! Edit 2: Doody is Proof (RIP) his best friend who got shot in a club in April 2006 He said this earlier in the song: "They say Proof just flipped out, homie just swift out and bust Nah, it ain't like Doody to do that He wouldn't fuckin' shoot at, nobody, he fights first But dwellin' on it only makes the night worse" Basically Proof's murderer claimed self defence so was never charged but Em doesn't believe that could be true but the more he thinks about it the worse he feels
Great reaction , you should definitely do Eminem Bad Guy , I’ve seen you’ve done Stan so you need to do the sequel 13 years later, The final verse is really something else too , one of if not his best verse , be interested to hear your take on it.
We know just because you bop along to the music doesn't mean you agree with what he's saying. I don't drink lean or pop pills but I appreciate good music like juicewrld/others and I understand that music doesn't always have to be relatable.
Tom never feel bad for vibing to the music. That's what they made it for. Remember you can vibe in different ways, it's okay to vibe and relate on different levels, I think Em and Juice and all these people would love that you can relate and bob along to their music and feel what they're saying. Try not to feel that way Tom, enjoy it, that's part of the reason they made the music! Hope you have a wonderful weekend with Nick and your ol lady (: thanks for the 'reaction therapy' while I wait for my spot in real therapy to open, it really helps and the 4 month wait is zooming by with you and Nick and everyone here. Much love from Lansing Michigan!
You should defenetly listen to Difficult by Eminem It's his song to Proof (his bestfriend from high school who got shot and passed away) Eminem also says on the song that he and Proof used the name Doody for eachothers😞
Could you give Cycles to Gehenna by Aesop Rock a listen? It's a heavy song about a guy who loses his friend and is on a very destructive path because of it. This is one that you'll probably want the lyrics to...
Keen to hear more $uicideboy$. This eminem song has a solid place permanently in my heart along with the album. Used to blast it on repeat playing WoW back when I was a kid. Glad to see that it's getting some love.
Proof, AKA Doody was murdered. The police report said he shot first and the line in the song was saying, "it ain't like Doody to do that... He'd fight first."
Doody was Proof/DeShaun Em’s best friend who encouraged him and stood right beside him! He was killed in a bar incident. His Uncle Ronnie was the person who introduced him to rap and he committed suicide.
Yessss, been asking for this one for a hot min! Thank you! Also, Proof was murdered...Em was told that Proof tried to shoot someone, so in the song he says that Proof would never straight out start shooting he'd fight first
Proof (Eminems best friend) was a part of D12. He had the Idea of creating this Rap Crew and give them all one alter ego. This is how Slim Shady was created (Eminems alter ego). In 2006 Proof got shot.
Proof was shot & killed at a pool hall here in Detroit! They say he pulled a gun first but Proof wasn't known to do that ever!!! He had a wife/girlfriend & kids here.....his death almost destroyed Eminem!!! That's what led to his overdose on Christmas Eve 2007! I think anything that numbed the pain was what he was after! Amazing he's still here and continues to share himself through his music! We are all the lucky recipients of that music!
I loved this album, Recovery. So many good heartfelt and emotional songs like Talkin 2 Myself, You’re Never Over, Space Bound, etc. You should check them out, keep up the good content
This song means the world to me. This Song make me go to Rehab in July of 2018 i am clean from Alcohol and Benzos since 🤲🏽! Happy 24 hours to all my Brothers and Sisters
5:57 me and my brother both battled horrific drug addiction for 5 years,his addiction won and took him away from us n I haven’t had a craving since that happened 3 years ago.we were both too deep ,idk why I lived ,I feel a lot of survivals guilt .anyways gonna end this hear ,choking up a bit ,don’t quit yall it’s possible
Man i loved this one...This song has always meaned so much to me and hearing you reacting and talking about addiction hits me in the feels. I feel like you're staring into me when commenting on the song. Thanks so much for your videos.
So happy you reacted to this, definitely resonates with me so much. I lost my daughter at just ten months old in 2015, so this song fits perfect with what I went through. Decided to give up alcohol the day I buried her. That day I drank myself into the hospital, just not good at all and knew I did not want my life to waste away and did not want to give alcohol a chance to be an outlet. Instead, I started working out from 3 or 4 days a week to 7 days a week now. Anyway, I've been with my wife since 2006, married since 2013, and we've grown stronger since even though statistically we should've been divorced probably. I grew up being beaten as a child, my dad beat my mother so they divorced, but I'm the complete opposite of how my parents were and my wife says over and over she doesn't know how I've grown to be how I am. I just say, they showed me what not to do.
OMG, what an incredible story! Thank you so much for sharing this and for recovering and overcoming! Amazing! It’s such a small statistic to do what you’ve done and I’m smiling reading your comments. Thank you for sharing that there is hope! And thanks for watching and supporting what we are doing!😊👍
Hey Tom, have been loving these reactions especially the Eminem, have been here right from the start and would love to say congratulations on how well the channel has progressed. I think it would be really interesting to see you break down Eminem- Kim.. the song is intensely aggressive and almost a horror film you feel you get sucked into.. for some context it’s when em hit superstardom and while he was out touring Kim (his baby mama) got remarried to a man that had a son and the two merged families while em was away.. I think it’s great for background and take you away from the drug side and into the domestic violence
So this song was a few years after his best friend proof was killed in a shooting. Em got so bad on drugs he says he was taking 60 Valium and 30 Vicodin pills per day. He was rushed to the hospital and they told him had he got there just 2 hours later he would have died. Fun fact a lot of people don’t know, Elton John is actually em’s AA sponsor. He has helped em and checked up on him ever since em approached him asking for help.
The last verse I modified to help me remember about how much my kids need me nd I need them, posted it on my fb page in 2014 nd every year I get a big smile seeing how far I've come Shit it just hit me that what if I would notta made it through? I think about the things I would have never got to say to you, I'd never get to make it right, so here's what I came to do. riley this one is for you, ems and ur mummy too, I still love your mother, that'll never change, Think about her every day, we just could never get it together. Hey, wish there was a better way, for me to say it, But I swear on everything, I'd do anything for her on any day. Xoxo There are just too many things, to explain, when it rains, Guess it pours, yes it does, wish there wasn't any pain. But I can't pretend there ain't, I ain't placin' any blame, I ain't pointin' fingers, heaven knows i've never been a saint. I know it just feels like we just pissed away our history,
Proof didn't kill himself, he got shot. Em is showing a recreation of the moment in the hospital when proof was shot in the video " like toy soldiers" You should react to "Talking to myself", if you haven't done so yet.
Toy soldiers and beautiful by Eminem are must listens for this channel pls toy soldier’s is about him grieving his best friend proofs death a song that’s on another lvl truly
