THIS IS HEARTBREAKING! EMINEM "CLEANING OUT MY CLOSET" REACTION | Asia and BJ 

"I'm not gonna say anything bad about Eminem cause Eminem don't even like his own mamma. And way too many things rhyme with rock. " -Chris Rock

His mother fed him pills in food, he mentions it in a couple of songs. And Nate (Em's half-brother) got taken away to foster care when he was 8 years old. Em later adopted Nate. You should do "Headlights" next

She was already suing him at this point which is why he talked about her trying to take what she didn't help him to get. He was already being sued by her by the time of the MMLP.

Eminem made the beat, Asia! (he's so underrated as a producer to me)

Uncle Ronnie is who intruduced Eminem to hiphop. He was close to him in age, they were more like brothers. Unfortunately he committed suicide. RIP Uncle Ronnie

When you are brought up by abusive, narcissistic parents you dont look at them the same way someone looks at parents who were loving and supportive!!

I’m sure it’s been said but Headlights is also about how he now feels about the whole situation between his mom. Great song. Leaving Heaven talks about his dad. Y’all should def. check them out

Eminem deserves his roses. He’s always deserved them. It’s crazy to see how some idiots think he’s “fell off” or whatever. He will ALWAYS be the GOAT.

"Headlights" is a song where he apologises to his mom for all the things he said in this song and the shit he said about her in other songs too cleaning out my closet was in 2002 and headlights was made when he became sober in 2014

The video to 'Cleanin Out My Closet' is a MUST SEE!😢 Em's a good man considering how shitty his childhood was.....he even adopted his younger brother Nathan to get him away from their abusive mother (Also adopted his niece from Kim's sister.) His mother poured cleaning products in his food to make him sick to get pills for herself!😱 When he got famous, she tried to sue him for millions for singing about her - didn't win thankfully. And she recorded a diss track about him - How messed up is that? I believe he has tried to heal the rift with her and wrote the song, 'Headlights' about it. But Marshall Mathers/Eminem is a truly gifted, creative Artist!🐐

What's great about Eminem's earlier songs, is that for a lot of us we get to discover them twice. They were great beats 20 years ago, but now when we in our thirties and forties, and re-visiting these songs, we get to really feel the depth of the songs by really getting into the lyrics. Great rapper and an even better lyricist.

His mom use to put Valium and Xanax in his food. Hence the lyric in gnat, 'mom fed me Valium like air, thought that's why they called it a high chair' his mom also told him he had an older sister that died. Turns out the sister never existed.

If you remember in his song gnat, he said mom fed me valium like air, thought that's why they called it a "high" chair... I got a contact like eyewear... Even tho he kinda made peace with his mom, he still throws lines every now n then so noone forgets what he been thru...

There's an official music video guys.... it makes no sense not to react without it. The continuation of this song is Headlights, you must react and There's an official music video too. This song is legendary. Portugal here for the Goat Eminem always since day one and forever. Thanks for reacting. Salutes and respect. Ps: Eminem's mom sued him asking I guess 10 million dollars, only getting kinda 10 or 12 thousand dollars but after paying the lawer etc she ended up getting 2 or 3 thousand.

Leaving Heaven==== its about Em's dad. He closes the chapter on him.

You gotta do “Headlights” next! It touches on how he feels towards his mom in a more positive way after he went through addiction himself

Asia's reaction was definitely how i felt first time listening. Great job guys, i see you comin up on that 100K🔥. In a more recent song, Headlights, EM apologizes to his mom- you should check that next, its a great follow up since asia was wondering if he could get past that

This entire album is awesome...

I remember playing drums over this track to practice. The beat is still sick years later

Gotta do headlights next (If you haven’t already). And remember, there’s nearly 20 years between the two

Loved this song... I was a fosterkid because my mom died and my family who took me in was super abusive to me for years before I was finally put in fostercare. Admired Eminem for having the strength to tell his shitty family off like this and call his mom out on what she did to him, ..... there are lots of us out here without fathers or who can relate to his darker songs because we feel the same, angry at our family for mistreating/abusing us....

Pain kept inside hurts the person carrying it most, then innocent bystanders. Gotta put it where it belongs - then let it go. 🙏🌈 Tks for your real, genuine reaction as always 💕

Asia is in disbelief but even our parents can be soooo toxic and when we grow up to be adults and we are able to see and react to the toxicity, then we are able to make a choice to have them in our lives or not,we dont have to love our parents just because they are simply our parents

Em probably don't want to see this reaction. He hated this song since "Headlights". But, whatever that is, this song is just amazing. Classic

THIS was where my whole love of Em ( and introduction to rap) began........Eminem Show is pure FLAMEZZZZZZZZZZ. Props to you guys for NOT playing edited vid, and reacting to way song was recorded. #emthegoat

Now you gotta check out Leaving Heaven by Em. That one addresses his dad.

Nate is his younger brother they have the same mom different dad. Em gained custody of nate and raised him and now nate is grown and married. Y'all should do headlights it's him apologizing to his mom, also checkout castle and a rose in that order and together

The whole album is worth a reaction tbh one of my fav em albums pure 🔥🔥🔥

🤣🤣🤣🤣 this song Always tickels me because Everytime my Son was on punishment he would play this Loud 🤦🏽‍♀️ then I would turn the electric off in his room😂😂😂😂 he's 25 in the Navy straight from Highschool with No record & we live in North Philly. Smh Mannnnn I'm so Blessed now he sends me random I Love U Queen text

Nate is his step brother, he ended up adopting him and raising him. In Arose he mentions how good Nathan is doing

This song came on the radio while I was washing the dishes back in 2002 (when I was 52), so I couldn't turn it off (I believed until then without evidence that I hated hip-hop). This powerful song schooled me. Very few songs in my life affected me as deeply as this one. The music, lyrics, and production are all in sync.

The Eminem show was his third studio album. Listen to headlights. He says he regrets making cleaning out my closet in the song Headlights. He also dedicates headlights to his mom from an older more mature perspective.

So glad my parents were both there for us. And I wish I could thank them now that I know what they went through.

It’s a messed up song from the outside looking in but when you really listen and hear the pain em went through as a child you start to understand

Leaving heaven ☰ eminem.

Some of us had Mom's who should have never reproduced. I was kicked out at 16 to go live with my 32 year old boyfriend so Mom could live on the beach. It's hard having such hateful feelings towards your own parent, but its a survival tactic that we have to develop to stay safe from the one person who was supposed to protect and love us.

This is perhaps THE song that helped me the most to put into perspective that as angry and pissed off as I was, for some reason, as a teen, that so many people had way more reason to be than me. My anger was conceptual, at the injustice of the world, but this was personal and something I never really experienced, no trauma or abuse, not really, not personally, even if it was only a generation removed. Absolute kudos to all the parents out there that had shitty parents, but were able to channel that into raising their kids right, or damn near die trying, y'all are the first step in healing this broken world from the atrocities of the past.

This song will always be nostalgic, it's a sad song but I think it's very well written and his flow is smooth...I know this song word for word even years later, .....glad you checked it out, great reaction and yeah parents can be selfish .

Can you please react to Eminem‘s music video for cleaning out my closet.

More eminem please!! Loved the reaction

Some researchers say that adults do the whole "Munchhausen Syndrome" thing to their kids is because the adult feels a 'validation of themself' when their child 'needs their help', or get a sense of 'unconditional affection' when the child constantly comes to the adult for help and then shows "appreciation for helping them out". The sad thing is, it is really just an extension of "motherly instincts" where an adult will feel a sense to "protect their child no matter what". Only when they do NOT get that feeling due to the child's independence or withdrawing into themselves to cope with issues, the adult will then inflict harm upon that child in order to get that child's affection. It is sad, because a simple "honey, sit down and talk to me" or "baby, what's wrong", or even a basic "I know it isn't easy, but as long as we stick together we can get through it together" does MORE for the adult/child relationship than anything else.

Headlights should be your next Em reaction. Eminem apologized to her mom for making this song

His mom sued him before this song that's why he said how dare you tried to take what you didn't help me to get but also later in life as he grew older and matured and he forgave his mom he doesn't like playing this song and others where he attacked his mom in his younger days in his career he points us out in a song called headlights which I don't really like the sound of the song but what he's saying let you know how things have changed

I wake up from a (admittedly late) nap and find 2 of the loveliest people reacting to a CLASSIC?! Y'all have blessed me on this fine night. Edit: I love you two so much, seriously. Such beautiful souls and so relatable. Makes me wish I could have a conversation with y'all!

Eminem's song headlights on revival is an apology to his mum

Em produced this whole album.

LMFAO she cant get over how messed up Em's life was

After he made it big his mother tried suing him to get part of his royalties and money even though she did nothing to help him get to where he is... That's what he was referring to when stated in the song "I'll dare you try to take what you didn't help me to get"

Don't treat your kids bad is my takeaway.

This song shows that the truest privilege is having loving parents and a safe home to grow up in. I appreciate my parents more and more everytime i hear this song.

Now that you heard this song and have heard more of the story you have to react to Headlights if you haven't. You'll find that it will likely change how you view this song.

Some people just don’t understand that this is real life and these are real feelings. This has happened to a lot of people in the world you’re just hearing it from one person.

Most shocking thing is couple years after this he apologies to his mom in a music video and he seen his mom again and said he should have never made the song in the first place i think they have a good relationship now

“This is about his mama?!” …..”Mmm hmm”😂😂😂😂 I died 😂😂😂

8:55 🤣🤣 her reaction was priceless

Headlights & leaving heaven should definitely be the next Em songs you react to.

Im late but i want to say Asia’s voice is theraputic!!

She actually sued him previously for $10million... He references it in his second album, The Marshall Mathers LP, right at the beginning of the song called "Marshall Mathers." Now that I say it, this would be a great reaction for y'all. Also, Headlights with Nate Rouse kind of wraps up the story of his mom and its very sweet. Also, too go the other way, he has a newer song called, "Leaving Heaven" that addresses his father after he passed away. Go into that rabbit hole for us. You guys have the best reaction page now. Love you guy's videos.

No other artists has ever moved the curtain on their real life and show his actual life like EM has its why his fans go so hard he put the story arc of his life on wax

Need to listen to "Leaving Heaven" about his father. First time he wrote about him. It's sooooo good.

I felt " all this commotion emotion run run deep as oceans exploding"

Also...he addresses his father in Leaving Heaven. This is another good insight into Ems life.

Nate was in foster home when Em first made it he went and found his brother and raised him and em x Kim's sister had 2 kids but they were on drugs and he adopted them and raised the along with his daughter Haley Em is a good guy he went through alot but made it 👍👍☘️💙💜

'Headlights' next!!! Puh-leeeeease!!! 💙 THEN, 'Leaving Heaven.' Headlights further addresses his Mother and I think you will like that, a LOT. Leaving Heaven is where he speaks on his Father, and is the most he has EVER said about him. That's as far as I'll go cause I don't wanna spoil anything, any more than I may already have. 😥 Also, Debbie was already going through the legal process to sue Em for Defamation. She sued for $10million. She was awarded, $25k. Judge ordered she, (Debbie) pay her atttorney $23,354.00 out of the $25k settlement. Debbie ultimately received, $1,646.00. Some more info from LadBible: "In response to the suit, the rapper's lawyer Paul Rosenberg said in a statement: "Eminem's life is reflected in his music. "Everything he has said can be verified as true. Truth is an absolute defence to a claim of defamation. This lawsuit does not come as a surprise to Eminem."His mother has been threatening to sue him since the success of his single 'My Name Is'. It is merely the result of a lifelong strained relationship between him and mother. In 2001, Debbie was awarded a settlement, but the eye-watering $10 million she originally pushed for was cut down to just $25,000." Asia, I legit sing the intro to your videos and it will randomly pop into my head throughout the day! Lol. You're SO talented! 💟 #SingersUnite

You should watch the video to this song. It is heartbreaking. His mother would poor like poisonous cleaning products in his cereal to make him sick. She sent his brother to foster care. He would make cards to his mom saying I am sorry and I love you. She would just throw them in his face. He had a life we could not even imagine.

“ HEADLIGHTS “ next 👍🏻✨✨

yeah his mom was very emotional abusive and use to crush pills up and put it in his food to make him sick. you guys really should do the song "My Mom" from the relapse album

It's also shows you that he did not have an easy upbringing, meaning it was not given to him, mom actually sued him before this record, and obviously it pissed him off so he let everyone know how his upbringing was, I enjoyed Asia reaction to really this is his mama sad but true there's hundreds of thousands who grew up like this and that's what's sad thank you for your reactions

Uncle Ronnie died from suicide and was only a year or told older than Em and was the one who introduced Em to hip hop

Great reaction!! Now this is the Em I love. The old slim shady. I rocked out to him back in the day. Just lost my love for him thru the years. But man he was freaking amazing back then. Before the big money and mainstream took him over. Just my opinion 😉 And I understand you Asia when you was so shocked he was talking about his mama at that one point. But not all of us had mamas. Some of us had a woman who gave birth to us but never acted like a mama. I had a mother like Em did. She was horrible. Once I was old enough to get away from her, I ran far away. My children never knew her. She died alone and im sure she is burning now. But I went the opposite way of her. My kids are everything to me, I gave them very happy childhoods, no matter if we struggled financially. My grandchildren are my world now.. So I guess that woman did me a favor. She made me strong. Maybe thats why I connected to Em so deep back in the day.

Leaving heaven is about his dad and is in his latest album "music to be murdered by" it was released in 2020

You should react to Headlights by Eminem, it’s a follow up to this song many years later.

React to Headlights too, he forgives his mom on that one

She made him believe he was sick when he was growing up but in reality he was healthy but his mother was basically poisoning him with pills...a whole lot more with his brother being taken away by foster care because of her mistakes.she fully had this anger and rage coming.but in the end he regrets making this song and has made apologies to her. Listen to the words!!!

He is not saying he is right, he is not saying he is wrong : he is just saying this is his life and what he is. You have to appreciate, and why it appeals, is just the brutal honesty in it. Have to appreciate any artist regardless of medium who opens all of it open to the world. I mean this is the same as going on a stage (literally I guess) in front of the whole world and telling everyone all your secrets.

If you don’t remember it…….then I’m happy for you. For those of us that have issues with our mothers…..you never forget someone actually addressing it

the lawsuit was before this song, it was based on comments he made on the previous album "the Marshall Mathers LP", the song "Kill You" specifically i think. his references to her trying to take what she didnt help him to get in this song are about that.

Keep growing your channel. Like the Eminem content. Good job guys.

That look he gave at 10:05😂 thank you for letting it be known the pauses to much! That reaction right there will make me keep looking into you guys lmao

This girl is really fantastic.. keep it up 👍

You guys should check out Headlights next where he actually apologizes for this song

He has said in interviews that he regrets this song. He doesn't do it at shows anymore either.

Parents and caregivers who have Munchausen By Proxy Syndrome will intentionally make the child or person they are responsible for caring for sick by giving them medication they have not been prescribed, overdoing them on medication and using other methods of inducing sickness/injury to make the victim require medical care. The parent/caregiver is seeking attention and is using the victim to acquire it. Debi Mathers intentionally made her son sick to seek attention. Eminem does not perform this particular song anymore. He is embarrassed to have released it and has stated he was in a different state, emotionally and mentally, when it was written. Having gone through his own struggles with substance abuse and parenting, he has forgiven is mother.

She sued him before this. Thats why he said "how dare you try to take what you didn't help me to get"

First comment, love y’all reactions I’m new to the Channel after I saw y’all reactions to Em. New subscriber from Paraguay 🇵🇾 South America, please react to eminem- untouchable

Good job getting his message...you listened to his words!!yay!👌

To be honest, it resonated to me because my mom was a druggie and I ended up living on my own in 7th grade. My kids never met her and she passed away in her 50's only seeing me twice since 7th grade and never meeting my kids!

Its sad to hear how shit it was with em and his mother growing up and how much hate he had towards her. But it was nice to finally hear that he had buried the hatchet and finally rebuilt his love for her in the song headlights. Please react to eminem headlights if you haven't already.

You guys should really do Eminem - Headlights. It is basically addressing this song, and is a more in depth look of what was going on.

Munchoesens or whatever is when someone convinces doctors that a child is sick, but the kid usually is unaware of the scam. The parents usually take the prescriptions to abuse. Like his lol did. He also talks in other songs about how she used to lace his food with Valium, force him to eat it even tho he knew she put something in it because it tastes funny, and his teachers would call his mom and say he was on drugs and they all through it was pot or whatever but as he got older he realized what happened to him. She abused him, made him take pills and made him sick even though nothing was wrong with him. She was the sick one. She was very mentally ill.

💕Em was, is and will always be the #1 goat 🐐 in this craft💕🤘

Em has one of the most interesting come up stories

Not sure if youve done 'headlights' or not but he looks back on this song years later and apologizes to his Mom!

Eminem ❤

This was actually a reply to his mum's track, she made a track about his hate towards her. the tracks name is "dear marshall"

I feel like too many people ask "why would he say that about his mama" and not "why would his mama do that to her baby?"

The title, cleaning out my closet, is like when we say people have skeletons in their closet ( bad secrets), he's lettin all those skeletons out!

You guys are the bomb keep up the good content, really hard workers

Eminem regretted releasing this song. He recently release "HEADLIGHT" . as an Apology to his mother . U guys need to react to it after this reaction. Another song to react is Leaving Heaven. On how much he hated his dad

Dawg I can't get over the fact you look just like proof. great vidja yall
