if you want more of Em's journey, I recommend Rock Bottom. One of his earlier songs, as he was struggling to blow up and was in the worst position in his life. One of my favorite songs.
He actually stopped touring during their teen years to be there for them everyday. He only have one biology daughter which is hailey. Laney is Kims twin sisters daughter. They had her since she was a baby. He also adopted Kims other daughter with another man, who was also a drug addicted. He also got his baby brother Nathan out of the foster care system and raised him because his mom suffer from munchausen by proxy. She used to make him and his brother sick. So he is Nathan, laney, hailey and Whitney. In birth order. And they are all healthy happy and very close. Him and Kim are also very good co-parents. He did get custody of the kids when she went into rehab.
@@impartialthrone2097 he also go beat up so back in elementary school that put him in a coma. No one noticed until his mom came to the school because he didn’t come home. They found him in a utility closet
For context: em didn't know his dad, he left before he was 1. Recently his dad died, he never met him and in interviews you can see it effects him, "if my kids moved to the other side of the planet.. no money, no nothing.. I would find them", I think that's what motivated him to not follow in his father's footsteps and be such a good dad He talks about it in the last verse on 'leaving heaven'.
I haven't read the other comments. But he also adopted his ex wife's child by another man. That to me shows who he is as a human being. To adopt a child your ex had with another man.....not everyone could do that. Very inspiring man.
Eminem has so many great songs! Here’s a list of songs you should check out, and watch them in order for the story 1. Kim. (That one is a brutal one, but it helps you understand their relationship kinda) 2. Cleaning Out My Closet (his relationship with his mom and there’s a line about how he felt about his dad) 3. My Mom (Another song about his relationship with his mom) 4. Headlights (Headlights is an apology song about Cleaning Out My Closet, Eminem has said that he hates hearing Cleaning Out My Closet because he doesn’t feel that way anymore) 5. Difficult (Eminem lost his best friend Proof and that’s actually an unreleased song) 6. Going Through Changes (Eminem talks openly grieving Proof)
Bad husband from revival goes deep into the fallout of their relationship, and he acknowledges his mistakes. In Leaving heaven from MTBMB he lays down all his feelings about his biological father. Another song I would recommend as a classic, sing for the moment. Here he talks about his struggles with fame, which you can also find with a subtle darker tone in ́´The way I am. The reason I admire this man is due to his versatility along with his genius wordplay.
“Mockingbird” it’s such a masterpiece cause he wrote it in a pattern when at the time his kids could understand it also Em is the most personal Hip Hop Artist since Tupac he puts his personal life out there more than any other Rapper you’ll start to notice that as you go along👊🏽🐐✨🎯💯(Please React to Eminem "Going Through Changes" the Lyric Video of course & Eminem "Not Afraid" Music Video as well)
@@aWake.d-_-b the only reason you or anyone else says he’s an Eminem “clone” is because He’s white.. sure Em influenced him. That’s normal, but NF literally does not rap like Em. He may dress Like the recovery version of Em n some times his voice reflection is similar but that’s his voice. He can’t help that, but calling him a Clone is just disrespectful af.. NF is literally the ONLY dope and very successful white rappers since Eminem ..and Eminem open the door for NF, so he’s gonna pay homage from time to time through his music. But if NF was who he was but black then he wouldn’t be getting any comparisons to Em.. honestly Em should full on co-sign this man. NF has not been accepted into Hiphop still n he needs a co-sign. He doesn’t need shit cuz he’s doing just fine but I know it still bothers him that he’s not respected amongst his peers. NF is still an MC at the end of the day and that’s what MCs really do it for. The love n respect
You seem like such a genuine person, and seeing another generations perspective on some modern hip hop is refreshing. Keep doing what you’re doing sir.
out of all his songs this is one of the worst... one of the most annoying songs ive ever heard, his older stuff is 10 x better but i will say he has a few newer ones that are not bad
Love this song. Knew you'd like it! If you want to hear more about how Eminem grew up as a kid, check out "Cleaning out my closet" it came out in 2002. Now keep in mind, he was very angry when he made that song and doesn't totally believe in it anymore. He apologized to his mom for it and stopped playing this at concerts back in the day. But it still tells a sad story of his life growing up and how he felt in that moment when he wrote it. It's very heavy, emotional and raw. Great story telling again, especially with the video. The song "Headlights" is him apologizing to his mom, also another song you should check out afterwards at some point. (which came out in 2013. When he was a couple of years into his sobriety)
Must I say, the psychotherapist in the video had quite a transitions himselves! I went back and forth to his 1 year ago video and his recent ones looking so lifely, much younger and all hype up. I can tell he definitely appreciates suggested songs from viewers out there.
An "underrated" song that i love by Eminem - Beautiful is awesome, and id love so see the Psychotherapist take on it. love your channel, keep on going, much love!
Yes, but a small warning (if he ever sees this), if you go for Eminem's music video, then you'll be missing em's whole third verse, so should probably listen to the audio version.
One of my all time faves from Eminem. This one helped me cope with growing up in a broken home. My mom was remarried several times and we dealt with more than any child should have to. However, GOD recycles your pain. The deeper the wound, the deeper the annoiting. Hallelujah!!!
hey im gonna give a bit of history on Eminem only because i haven't seen anyone else do it yet. He was born Marshall Bruce Mathers the 3rd on 10/17/72 In St Joesph Missouri after his mom endured a 73-hour labor. He never knew his dad since his dad left the family to pursue a life in California, eminem being only 14 months, and his mom being 17 yrs old. Throughout his childhood, him and his mom would travel back and fourth to Michigan and Missouri, never staying in a place longer than a yr or 2, usually living with other family. Everywhere he went, he was bullied at every turn including by his own family who dubbed him "mickey" because he had big ears. The only friend he really had during his youth was his uncle Ronnie with him only being 6 months older. He would often get lost in comics aswell as drawing as his first form of artistic expression until he found hip-hop at age 11 through Uncle Ronnie (late 1983, and 1984). At 14 he was given an NWA album and from there i guess there was no turning back for him. Eminem went to Lincoln High school in Warren Michigan where he famously failed the 9th grade a whopping 3 times which lead him to drop out at age 17. After that, he started entering the Detroit rap scene often competing in freestyle rap battles with his crew, "the dirty dozen". He eventually met his now ex-wife Kim and I guess he loved her dearly because one night when he was walking to her house, he was shot, and still managed to get to her place. Only a year after Eminem would be involved in a paintball drive by which lead him to getting arrested but never charged only because the 2 people who were shot never came to court (1992/93). In 95, Kim got pregnant and gave birth to Hailie Jade Scott on 12/25. Eminem at the time was a dishwasher at Gilbert's lodge (a family-owned business) working 60 hours weeks and getting called (probably) the only positive thing in his early life by his boss, a "model student" except when he would skip work to go rap which lead to several firing attempts which ended in him getting fired a few days before Christmas which meant no money for not only Christmas but for Hailie's bday. After his first ever official album called "infinite" flopped, Eminem ended up famously creating his alter ego "slim shady" on the toilet. He had something to prove ever since living in a trailer with his mom, Kim and Hailie. His eventual break landed him in Los Angles with almost nothing when the rap Olympics were taking place in 1997 which he placed 2nd in but he did get the ear of Dr. Dre at that point. Dre has said that not only when did met Eminem, did he think he looked like a banana after wearing a yellow jumpsuit that a sponsor gave him but also the fact that he was Caucasian. And I guess the rest is history.
So glad I stumbled upon this channel a couple weeks ago, loving your reactions. Something about the way you speak just eases my stress, I imagine you’re a fantastic therapist! There are SO many Eminem songs that I think would be perfect for your channel, but one of his older songs that really gets raw about his upbringing and personal life is “Rock Bottom” from the Slim Shady LP. Whether you do a video or not I highly recommend giving it a listen!
Your explanation of the effects on a child are the absolute truth! I'm crying because I'm doing my best to get out of my depression. I was a child that also had drug addict parents. I was 3 months premature 2lbs 11oz. With cocaine and Marijuana in my system. Dad was super abusive and then became a drug dealer in Miami. I went to 15 schools and didn't have anyone to turn to. Molested my cousin from 8 to 10 yrs old. It goes on and on. It really is nice to hear your point of view of how we are so impacted as children! Thank you! I'm still fighting every day and 1 step at a time!
The Way I Am would be a great one to look at. The song was born out of frustration with the record industry pressuring him to make another hit song. You get to see a young Eminem delve into his struggles with all his new found fame and the way his narrative was being presented by the media.
Mann, can't stress how wholesome you're reactions are. Eminem and his songs sustained me and helped me in my dark days. I'm a rapper too and I love lyricism! Many people don't appreciate that anymore so seeing your reaction playing this song, mann that's the real deal. More power to you and your chanel sir! Sending much love from the Philippines 🇵🇭 peace y'all! ✌️
I don’t usually comment on UA-cam videos but what you are doing here is honestly spectacular, you are helping so many people more then you know breaking down these songs which a lot of us can relate to helping us understand the effect that certain things have had on our life’s, all whilst appreciating the beauty of the music, this is like no other reaction channel and and you sir will go very far with this channel as there is nothing else like it, thank you for putting the effort into these videos and giving your professional breakdown of the lyrics, your insight is so helpful.
Really a beautiful song... it helped me get through high school, since my parents were divorced and I never knew what was going to happen next. But when everything is said and done, family always have your back. I cry everytime I listen intently to this song... not because of how sad it is, but because of how painfully true this song hits you. Usually, I listen to the song when I want to sift through my past, it helps relieve the pain, but I hope to see more reaction videos from you. Keep up the great work.
I am a new dad myself, he is 7 months old. I've gone thru a very similar childhood and music has really save my life. Thank you for giving perspective into children's comprehension. It makes me take care of him accordingly.
If you do another eminem I would strongly recommend "cleanin' out my closet" followed by "headlights" i know its 2 songs but they go hand in hand together from a younger more immature eminem to a more mature older understanding eminem
Music alone has spoken to us in volumes to where it has actually saved both of our lives. And your feedback makes us completely understand on a whole nother level and we can relate like no other and you are an inspiration to us both. Thank you so much again my man keep doing what you're doing
Thank you, doc. for the reacts. I'm just about to become a father, and everything you say about children's needs and how they feel when it comes to the family just touched me deeply. "Children pay the price for adult's choices." damn, so true.
If you're trying to learn about Eminems life, you need to listen to Cleanin out my closet. Tells the story of his relationship with his mother. Then eventually react to Headlights. Love the reactions!
I’ve literally watched all your video in a row since I found your page. It’s amazing to me how you see video and lyrics in a different way then I do after all these years. Excited for this next video! ❤️🙏🏾
staying home as much as you can will always make you happier i promise, take it from someone who regrets missing my sons baseball games, i missed my youngest sons first homerun because i thought me being a better drug rep and being gone 5 days a week would make him happier than me coaching him and being at third base when he passed me could be. it is so hard for people to not want to get to the top of their profession to give their kids the best life but their best life is you being there.
i just found you on youtube but since i have my mood has honestly changed!! i love hearing what you have to say about music and you actually break it down for people! continue to do what your doing your amazing, thank you!
I saw some of the comments below suggesting cleaning out my closet, I agree that would be a good one to react to (& Headlights after that). Also, Like Toy Soldiers is another really good one. There's so many great Eminem songs, you can really see him pour out his heart and emotions into his songs. He said in an interview that writing songs was his therapy and it definitely shows cause he pours so much into them. I'm glad he's found something that helps him cause he's been through so much in his life it's amazing he's still here. Also fun fact, his daughter Hailie has a degree in psychology.
Eminem was the first rapper I ever listened to, and ultimately made me fall in love with hip-hop. His delivery, lyrical ability, and the way he can tell a great story of his life is the best I've ever heard. Love your reactions and breakdowns
I love your reactions so much because you actually listen, you break at down, you understand what he's saying and you get it. Like you really get it on an emotional level and that feels so good to relate to what someone's heart is spilling into the music. Can't wait to hear the next one!
I'd really love for eminem to see this. This is probably the best reaction to an eminem song I've ever seen. It was fascinating. Also you should definitely react to Hailie's Song
You really really REALLY got to do "Castle" and "Arose", but it's very important to do them in 1 video and you need to listen them back to back, first "Castle" then "Arose". Also make sure to listen them until the last second and to find the correct versions of each song. Love your videos! Greetings from Mexico.
There's a video of him doing this song at a concert and in the very beginning of it when he starts singing/wrapping you can hear his voice start cracking. And he cries a little bit while he's rapping in the beginning. I'm sure wrapping about it. He's feeling it because he's out on tour and she's home. I know I mentioned it in my previous comment but you seem to really enjoy this look into Eminem's past. You would 100% enjoy Castle in a rose. And in your head. And yes all the stuff in this song is true and same goes for those songs. Laney is Kim's sisters daughter who overdosed and died he adopted. There's also another one Whitney that he adopted. Who is a daughter that Kim had from another relationship. I'm pretty sure it was after they split up she got pregnant and had a kid he adopted her as well. He also adopted his younger brother Nathan. So he wouldn't have to live with his mom
Leaving Heaven - Eminem…dude you need to create a week worth of just only Eminem and then a week of NF and Polo G and Juice.. and so on..but honestly Eminem is 50 years old. He’s been rapping for over 26 years now..but each album has some deeeeep ass songs that require someone like you to break down. The Biggest HipHop fan or biggest Eminem fan can NOT breakdown his deepest songs like you can because of your knowledge in said field and you’re understanding of the mind. I promise you, reacting to Eminem will def boost and build your UA-cam page. He literally runs the UA-cam reaction algorithm. Not lying lol.. but also throughout all that you’ll also be breaking down some good content. It’s a win win !!
This is one of my favorite eminem songs i love eminem but watching your reaction is so relaxing and i love the way you layout all the points and be so real bout them. thanks for doin this.
I love the fact that Eminem now treats it as a 9-5 job. Goes to work, takes.his hour lunch and then goes home at 5 to go spend time with his family and go home. He really has tried to balance his life I think. On a side note, please go check out colors and shapes by Mac Miller
Wow, what you said about absent fathers really resonated with me. Thanks for that insight and thanks for your great reaction, stranger. You should check out more of Mac Millers work - i suggest Perfect Circle / God Speed or the entire Faces mixtape
It’s amazing how life can change our interpretation to songs based of our own personal experiences. My long term bf has a daughter with a woman who is definitely BPD. But I was watching this I said out loud “I’m shocked Eminem never had more children” and my boyfriend says “I’m not. Kim was a lesson he never wanted to repeat”. I sat and chewed on that for a while and he’s right. Hailie is the representation of his guilt and failures. The source of his deepest pain. Such a great song.
Great reaction as always! I think "Eminem - Not afraid" is a good one to react to next. It is his comeback song after he beat his addiction and written as a motivational song for others who might be in a similar situation 👍🏼
Mockingbird is the old song sampled or being played in the background, the lullaby where you sing 'mama's/daddy's gonna buy you a Mockingbird'. if you want to see some of what Em went through in his own childhood you might try Cleanin' Out My Closet.
Try “The Real Slim Shady” if you want to try something a bit less intense and more humorous by em, or “Castle” and it’s follow up “Arose”, to get more of this family/drug recovery story. Thanks, I love your videos, I find them really insightful!!
I comment this in every Eminem video, but you gotta check out Bad Guy. It's literally Stan pt.2 in the perspective of Stans little brother Matthew years later, venting his spite for Eminem and blaming him for his brothers death. It connects to Stan perfectly and even explains why he wrote Stan in the first place. It's deep.
Awesome! Another good Em song is "Space Bound". Also, if you choose to listen to more Mac Miller, some good ones to choose from are "Fight the Feeling", "Earth", "Wedding", and "So it Goes".
Omg I just found this I didn’t realize you reacted to this but it makes my heart so happy I love this song it has such a special place in my heart it’s the song my dad would play and sing to me when I was younger when times at home were rough and I was really struggling with it and my depression getting worse this was and is our song so alot of it related to our situation I love your feedback too and your videos in general it really makes me want to start back up on my dream to be a therapist and work towards it honestly keep it up I found you not too long ago threw Mel’s music and I’m so happy I did ❤️
The little blonde is Hailey. The dark haired one is Lainy, she's the neice but he adopted her as his own daughter when her mother couldn't take care of her.
i’d love to see a reaction to no love - featuring Eminem and Lil wayne, that song helped me through a lot of hard times. Also, Space bound is also a veryyyy good song by ‘Em that i think you would like, the music videos are also 🔥
Subscribed. One of the best reaction channel on YT,hands down. Truly a "therapy" ! Thank you for doing this for us (Em's music really did pull me through some SH!T so it is great to see an actual psychothrapist breaking it down).
I always come here expecting to see you react to music, but I exit the video everytime with knowledge and more insight into my own mental and the issues I deal with. Thank you
This song is one of Em' masterpieces, I recommend "cleaning out my closet" next, you'll enjoy it and understand Em's tough childhood and his relationship with his mum, totally worth it!
For me; my dad not being present was the reason I fought tooth and nail to be In my daughters life. Being a dad is the crowning achievement of anything I’ve ever done. I named her Hailey 🤘love your reaction. This song hits hard.
Another great reaction Tom, as a long time Eminem fan - it’s so heartwarming to see you slowly (or not so slowly maybe lol!) fall in love with his music. He’s truly one of the best writers of our generation. This track is all based on true events and those are all videos of him, Kim, Haillie (biological daughter of him and Kim) and Alaina (Lainey - Kim’s sister’s child, who sadly died of an overdose). There’s also Kim’s child by another man, but she’s the youngest - I think around 18-19 just now so isn’t in these videos. Kim and Em’s relationship was full of trauma, addiction, suicide attempts (Kim’s had 3 or 4 attempts to my knowledge, with the latest one only a year or so ago so she still struggles I think) and breakdowns, it’s really sad. They got married really young, divorced, then re-married and then got divorced again. Kim has been in jail previously too. I think she had a horrible childhood too and was in the foster care system before coming to live with Em when they were still at high school. Eminem, for the most part, had custody of all 3 girls but I think they try to co-parent as best they can when Kim is well. She doesn’t do press or social media, but I’ve seen her interviewed once, maybe 5 or 6 years ago and she confirmed what a great dad Em is and how much he does for her and the girls. He stopped going overseas when the girls were teenagers to provide stability and also treated his music as more of a traditional job, being in the studio from 9.00-5.00, making sure he was home for the girls in the evening etc. Kim is a brutal track that deals with his relationship, it’s an old one and he hasn’t performed it at a show for years as it’s too disrespectful. (Same as Cleaning out my closet). I’m sure you’ve got loads of Em suggestions for deep songs, but if you’re looking for something to break it up, ‘Without Me’ is really fun and shows his goofy side. Also, ‘my band’ with D12 is really funny too - it plays off the industry perspective that D12 would be nothing without Eminem, it’s very tongue in cheek and hilarious!
Thanks so much for this insight Emma! Very well said and it sounds like you know so much about him. It’s definitely slow for me but I’m working on learning more…always great to hear from you!😊👍
Great reaction and insight. I love watching your videos. Things weren’t always great and there are some songs that are hard to hear. There are three songs that go with his relationship with Kim, Kim, 97 Bonnie and Clyde, and Bad Husband. The first two are back to back chronologically and bad husband is many years later after they married and divorced twice, Kim went to jail, rehab, Marshall went to rehab, relapsed, overdosed, etc, so there is a lot of water under the bridge.
Eminem’s journey and personal growth, his honesty and awareness of himself are so powerful. I love love love his new one Higher. You need to watch 8 Mile
His father left before he was a year old and he had a very turbulent relationship with his mother. He was actually born in Missouri and spent his entire childhood moving back and forth between Missouri and Michigan spending the majority of his childhood living in Detroit where he finally went to high school and failed 9th grade three times before dropping out. He had a daughter and a few years later he was signed by Dr. Dre and out out his first official album under a label in 1999 with his first album called Infinite coming out in 1996. He later adopted his wife’s niece because her parents were heavily addicted to drugs and couldn’t care for her. Later his wife had a baby with another man and he adopted her too as well as his own half brother. He was actually married to and divorced from his wife three times and they were always at each other’s throats, but after he got sober in 2008 they repaired their relationship and became friends again working on co-parenting. The girls are all grown up now and I don’t know about the other two since I haven’t heard anything about them in a long time, but Hailie graduated high school with honors and graduated from Michigan State University with a degree in psychology and she recently posted a video online showing off her Spotify playlist for 2021 showing that she is a huge fan of her father’s music.
I love what you do & respect the channel mission. I’m a huge Eminem fan & think he’s a good example of calling out what’s wrong instead of denying it. It makes hard things easier when one can just recognize them honestly instead of hiding it. Slightly different note, I’m also a middle age white male professional and enjoy that you appreciate good hip hop (part of my tribe)!
Been really enjoying your perspectives on Eminem's songs. If you are interested some interviews/documentaries to learn about his life that will help to frame his writings and give you a better picture of who he his. You can either watch these off line, or for content. 2 of them are rather long. From 60 Minutes: ua-cam.com/video/6iHY5ROqBiE/v-deo.html The Story of Eminem: ua-cam.com/video/kEfIiGiPJ6I/v-deo.html Eminem - Behind the Lyrics (2013): ua-cam.com/video/ILA9I0Fi3P0/v-deo.html
I’ve been waiting on u doing this one 😀loved ur reaction to when I’m gone, it’s actually the first time i’ve ever heard anyone who watched it concentrating on Hayley’s feelings and I loved that.This one should shows that he was aware of how much what was happening was affecting his daughter and it’s so clear he feels guilty for that.His love for his daughter by his ex Kim along with Whitney and Lainey who he adopted, is one of the things that I love most about him.I had just split up with the dad of my 3 oldest daughters when this was released and felt the same guilt about them not gonna have both parents together, he was violent tho so it wasn’t healthy for any of us especially them xxx
I'm sure many mentioned that Marshall has songs about his mother too, his songs are like chain you can connect them and because of that they are like movie i guess, I would recommend you ,,cleaning out my closet" (Dedicated to his mother) and then ,,Headlights" (Again, dedicated to his mother).
My dad died in my arms in high school after being abandoned by my mom as a child. I spiraled my senior year, and a lot of the music you’ve reviewed ether saved me from ending it all or helped pull me away from that darkness in later years. Love the videos.. highly suggest looking at “End of the Road” by machine gun kelly and “guide me” by caskey. Both really old songs by both artists. Idk if I’d be making this comment without them.
one of my favorite eminem songs. all he wants is to be the father that he never had growing up. another great song by eminem is "difficult." he never officially released the song but it is on youtube through third parties. he wrote it as a tribute to his best friend Proof after he died but it was too painful for him to release
I definitely recommend watching 8mile in you’re free time. It really gives you a look into what his life was like when he was young. Also great reaction as always Tom. Keep them coming :)
I'm late, I just found you're reactions to so many Eminem songs and I love your perspective and ideas of what he rap in his songs. Thank you very much.
The end part really ties up what Eminem would do for his daughter, because over the years he has had beef with a lot of people, but the ones that brought Hailie into the fight, were the ones that didnt have a carrer at the end.
As a child when listening to his music, his music helped me through my own journey i guess. Some songs made me laugh at how crazy someone would have to be to do this stuff in real life, and to even get away with it if he actually did those crazy things. But it also taught me what not to do if i ever lost it, which when bullied almost every day at school, and at home by my older sister, was a constant thought that crossed my mind. Other songs taught me that it doesn't matter what people have to say about you, i think worse things about myself everyday, but that leads to problems asking for help with the reason behind it being not believing my problems are worth a damn... anyway went off track. Then some songs just had an uplifting message and a nice beat to compliment it that just gave me relief and made my problems seem less painful to deal with. Now im split from my ex with a 2 year old daughter, split custody and thats only thanks to personal reasons, otherwise i dont think i would've gotten a chance to even my daughter again. It's The Hard-Knock Life From a certain point of view Just happens to be (I have also picked up a strange like for Haiku)
My mom and dad could not understand how I can listen to HipHop. But to see someone that are about the same age as my parents, and actually listen to the lyrics are great! You are doing a great job!
if you want more of Em's journey, I recommend Rock Bottom. One of his earlier songs, as he was struggling to blow up and was in the worst position in his life. One of my favorite songs.
I second rock bottom!
I third rock bottom!
I fourth. He was at the bottom here and almost didn't make it out.
YES
Rock bottom
He actually stopped touring during their teen years to be there for them everyday. He only have one biology daughter which is hailey. Laney is Kims twin sisters daughter. They had her since she was a baby. He also adopted Kims other daughter with another man, who was also a drug addicted. He also got his baby brother Nathan out of the foster care system and raised him because his mom suffer from munchausen by proxy. She used to make him and his brother sick. So he is Nathan, laney, hailey and Whitney. In birth order. And they are all healthy happy and very close. Him and Kim are also very good co-parents. He did get custody of the kids when she went into rehab.
Munchausen by Proxy is crazy. I've heard some wild stories about it. Didn't know Eminem was a victim of it 😥
@@impartialthrone2097 he also go beat up so back in elementary school that put him in a coma. No one noticed until his mom came to the school because he didn’t come home. They found him in a utility closet
Wrong
Whitney is former Stevies former name. They're called Stevie Laine now and is they/them
@@rachelBrady-ni wrong
@@Arc1239 Child stay quiet and get out cow it's a fact they're called Stevie now PERIOD imagine trynna say I'm wrong when it's a fact
For context: em didn't know his dad, he left before he was 1. Recently his dad died, he never met him and in interviews you can see it effects him, "if my kids moved to the other side of the planet.. no money, no nothing.. I would find them", I think that's what motivated him to not follow in his father's footsteps and be such a good dad
He talks about it in the last verse on 'leaving heaven'.
He also talks about it in Headlights
@@lmznour1645 yeah something about getting maps to find them and kidnap them dressed as Santa if he had to
Eminem raised his own daughter Hailey, her halfsister and his niece. Truly an amazing man
I haven't read the other comments. But he also adopted his ex wife's child by another man. That to me shows who he is as a human being. To adopt a child your ex had with another man.....not everyone could do that. Very inspiring man.
Eminem has so many great songs!
Here’s a list of songs you should check out, and watch them in order for the story
1. Kim. (That one is a brutal one, but it helps you understand their relationship kinda)
2. Cleaning Out My Closet (his relationship with his mom and there’s a line about how he felt about his dad)
3. My Mom (Another song about his relationship with his mom)
4. Headlights (Headlights is an apology song about Cleaning Out My Closet, Eminem has said that he hates hearing Cleaning Out My Closet because he doesn’t feel that way anymore)
5. Difficult (Eminem lost his best friend Proof and that’s actually an unreleased song)
6. Going Through Changes (Eminem talks openly grieving Proof)
Great list! Thanks so much!!😊👍
Bad husband from revival goes deep into the fallout of their relationship, and he acknowledges his mistakes. In Leaving heaven from MTBMB he lays down all his feelings about his biological father. Another song I would recommend as a classic, sing for the moment. Here he talks about his struggles with fame, which you can also find with a subtle darker tone in ́´The way I am. The reason I admire this man is due to his versatility along with his genius wordplay.
@@scleoguddu I feel like Bad Husband is a sequel to Kim the same way Headlights is to Cleaning out My Closet.
@@ReactionTherapyOfficial really really hope u could react to Kim, defo one of my all-time favourite Eminem songs
Dont forget Rock Bottom!
“Mockingbird” it’s such a masterpiece cause he wrote it in a pattern when at the time his kids could understand it also Em is the most personal Hip Hop Artist since Tupac he puts his personal life out there more than any other Rapper you’ll start to notice that as you go along👊🏽🐐✨🎯💯(Please React to Eminem "Going Through Changes" the Lyric Video of course & Eminem "Not Afraid" Music Video as well)
Nice take, thanks so much for this!😊👍
I gotta disagree with you . You gotta listen to NF
@@maligoonsz0118 NF it s practically an Eminem Clone.. No hate but the Original it s better. Just my opinion
@@aWake.d-_-b the only reason you or anyone else says he’s an Eminem “clone” is because He’s white.. sure Em influenced him. That’s normal, but NF literally does not rap like Em. He may dress Like the recovery version of Em n some times his voice reflection is similar but that’s his voice. He can’t help that, but calling him a Clone is just disrespectful af.. NF is literally the ONLY dope and very successful white rappers since Eminem ..and Eminem open the door for NF, so he’s gonna pay homage from time to time through his music. But if NF was who he was but black then he wouldn’t be getting any comparisons to Em.. honestly Em should full on co-sign this man. NF has not been accepted into Hiphop still n he needs a co-sign. He doesn’t need shit cuz he’s doing just fine but I know it still bothers him that he’s not respected amongst his peers. NF is still an MC at the end of the day and that’s what MCs really do it for. The love n respect
@@MusicMakesAdiff23 as fucked up as it is Em as a white artist can't cosign another white artist especially in Hip Hop 😔
You seem like such a genuine person, and seeing another generations perspective on some modern hip hop is refreshing. Keep doing what you’re doing sir.
Thanks so much Jalen 😊👍
I wouldn’t exactly call this “modern” hip hop anymore. This song is almost 20 years old and hip hop doesn’t sound like this anymore
@@ihaveawang99 How dare you indirectly call me old like that.
This is going to be good. I appreciate your perspective. The Eminem song I’ve been anxious for you to experience and analyze is Love the Way You Lie.
Thanks for this and I can’t wait for this either!👍😊
Please do this one next one of the only memories I have of my mother is of her singing me love the way you lie
@@ReactionTherapyOfficial You got so great reactions love this channel, i think you would like Eminem Beautiful song! 😊
Parts one and 2 since part 2 is kinda a response
out of all his songs this is one of the worst... one of the most annoying songs ive ever heard, his older stuff is 10 x better but i will say he has a few newer ones that are not bad
Love this song. Knew you'd like it!
If you want to hear more about how Eminem grew up as a kid, check out "Cleaning out my closet" it came out in 2002.
Now keep in mind, he was very angry when he made that song and doesn't totally believe in it anymore. He apologized to his mom for it and stopped playing this at concerts back in the day. But it still tells a sad story of his life growing up and how he felt in that moment when he wrote it. It's very heavy, emotional and raw. Great story telling again, especially with the video.
The song "Headlights" is him apologizing to his mom, also another song you should check out afterwards at some point. (which came out in 2013. When he was a couple of years into his sobriety)
I would LOVE to see a reaction to Cleaning Out My Closet.
Just posted that he should react to Cleaning out my closet too.
Yeah doc plz I cant wait to get your insight to this song
Bad Husband too
I second this
Must I say, the psychotherapist in the video had quite a transitions himselves! I went back and forth to his 1 year ago video and his recent ones looking so lifely, much younger and all hype up. I can tell he definitely appreciates suggested songs from viewers out there.
An "underrated" song that i love by Eminem - Beautiful is awesome, and id love so see the Psychotherapist take on it. love your channel, keep on going, much love!
yesss this one!!
Yes, but a small warning (if he ever sees this), if you go for Eminem's music video, then you'll be missing em's whole third verse, so should probably listen to the audio version.
Would love to see a reaction to this song !!
And headlights plssss
Yes, it's incredible
One of my all time faves from Eminem. This one helped me cope with growing up in a broken home. My mom was remarried several times and we dealt with more than any child should have to. However, GOD recycles your pain. The deeper the wound, the deeper the annoiting. Hallelujah!!!
Preach!!!😊👍
@@ReactionTherapyOfficial react to dear momma by Tupac
One thing Em doesn't get enough credit for is influencing am entire generation of young men and boys to be good fathers.
hey im gonna give a bit of history on Eminem only because i haven't seen anyone else do it yet. He was born Marshall Bruce Mathers the 3rd on 10/17/72 In St Joesph Missouri after his mom endured a 73-hour labor. He never knew his dad since his dad left the family to pursue a life in California, eminem being only 14 months, and his mom being 17 yrs old. Throughout his childhood, him and his mom would travel back and fourth to Michigan and Missouri, never staying in a place longer than a yr or 2, usually living with other family. Everywhere he went, he was bullied at every turn including by his own family who dubbed him "mickey" because he had big ears. The only friend he really had during his youth was his uncle Ronnie with him only being 6 months older. He would often get lost in comics aswell as drawing as his first form of artistic expression until he found hip-hop at age 11 through Uncle Ronnie (late 1983, and 1984). At 14 he was given an NWA album and from there i guess there was no turning back for him. Eminem went to Lincoln High school in Warren Michigan where he famously failed the 9th grade a whopping 3 times which lead him to drop out at age 17. After that, he started entering the Detroit rap scene often competing in freestyle rap battles with his crew, "the dirty dozen". He eventually met his now ex-wife Kim and I guess he loved her dearly because one night when he was walking to her house, he was shot, and still managed to get to her place. Only a year after Eminem would be involved in a paintball drive by which lead him to getting arrested but never charged only because the 2 people who were shot never came to court (1992/93). In 95, Kim got pregnant and gave birth to Hailie Jade Scott on 12/25. Eminem at the time was a dishwasher at Gilbert's lodge (a family-owned business) working 60 hours weeks and getting called (probably) the only positive thing in his early life by his boss, a "model student" except when he would skip work to go rap which lead to several firing attempts which ended in him getting fired a few days before Christmas which meant no money for not only Christmas but for Hailie's bday. After his first ever official album called "infinite" flopped, Eminem ended up famously creating his alter ego "slim shady" on the toilet. He had something to prove ever since living in a trailer with his mom, Kim and Hailie. His eventual break landed him in Los Angles with almost nothing when the rap Olympics were taking place in 1997 which he placed 2nd in but he did get the ear of Dr. Dre at that point. Dre has said that not only when did met Eminem, did he think he looked like a banana after wearing a yellow jumpsuit that a sponsor gave him but also the fact that he was Caucasian. And I guess the rest is history.
So glad I stumbled upon this channel a couple weeks ago, loving your reactions. Something about the way you speak just eases my stress, I imagine you’re a fantastic therapist! There are SO many Eminem songs that I think would be perfect for your channel, but one of his older songs that really gets raw about his upbringing and personal life is “Rock Bottom” from the Slim Shady LP. Whether you do a video or not I highly recommend giving it a listen!
Thanks so much for watching and commenting and requesting 😊👍
Your explanation of the effects on a child are the absolute truth! I'm crying because I'm doing my best to get out of my depression. I was a child that also had drug addict parents. I was 3 months premature 2lbs 11oz. With cocaine and Marijuana in my system. Dad was super abusive and then became a drug dealer in Miami. I went to 15 schools and didn't have anyone to turn to. Molested my cousin from 8 to 10 yrs old. It goes on and on. It really is nice to hear your point of view of how we are so impacted as children! Thank you! I'm still fighting every day and 1 step at a time!
Keep moving forward 💪💪
Keep your head up king 👑
The Way I Am would be a great one to look at. The song was born out of frustration with the record industry pressuring him to make another hit song. You get to see a young Eminem delve into his struggles with all his new found fame and the way his narrative was being presented by the media.
Mann, can't stress how wholesome you're reactions are. Eminem and his songs sustained me and helped me in my dark days. I'm a rapper too and I love lyricism! Many people don't appreciate that anymore so seeing your reaction playing this song, mann that's the real deal. More power to you and your chanel sir! Sending much love from the Philippines 🇵🇭 peace y'all! ✌️
Eminem song and a Psyhoteraphist reaction is a match made in heaven. I subscribed for more Eminem song reactions.
Ou never been excited to see a reaction before, I just started to listen to old Eminem songs again
I can’t wait either! It’ll be a good one😊👍
I don’t usually comment on UA-cam videos but what you are doing here is honestly spectacular, you are helping so many people more then you know breaking down these songs which a lot of us can relate to helping us understand the effect that certain things have had on our life’s, all whilst appreciating the beauty of the music, this is like no other reaction channel and and you sir will go very far with this channel as there is nothing else like it, thank you for putting the effort into these videos and giving your professional breakdown of the lyrics, your insight is so helpful.
there’s so many eminem songs you can react to because he’s so personal and knows how to convey his feelings perfectly as he’s a lyrical genius
Really a beautiful song... it helped me get through high school, since my parents were divorced and I never knew what was going to happen next. But when everything is said and done, family always have your back. I cry everytime I listen intently to this song... not because of how sad it is, but because of how painfully true this song hits you. Usually, I listen to the song when I want to sift through my past, it helps relieve the pain, but I hope to see more reaction videos from you. Keep up the great work.
Thanks so much for sharing your life with me…I really appreciate you!😊👍
Me too
Although a very dark song would love you to see breakdown of Kim. Might help you understand their relationship and all the controversy
I am a new dad myself, he is 7 months old. I've gone thru a very similar childhood and music has really save my life. Thank you for giving perspective into children's comprehension. It makes me take care of him accordingly.
If you do another eminem I would strongly recommend "cleanin' out my closet" followed by "headlights" i know its 2 songs but they go hand in hand together from a younger more immature eminem to a more mature older understanding eminem
Music alone has spoken to us in volumes to where it has actually saved both of our lives. And your feedback makes us completely understand on a whole nother level and we can relate like no other and you are an inspiration to us both. Thank you so much again my man keep doing what you're doing
Thanks so much Joey!😊👍
Thank you, doc. for the reacts. I'm just about to become a father, and everything you say about children's needs and how they feel when it comes to the family just touched me deeply. "Children pay the price for adult's choices." damn, so true.
If you're trying to learn about Eminems life, you need to listen to Cleanin out my closet. Tells the story of his relationship with his mother. Then eventually react to Headlights. Love the reactions!
Monster would be another good Em track to check out. With the video. As a writer diagnosed with psychosis, I'm glad I found your channel.
Just came across your reactions and love them. I appreciate listening to how you perceive what the lyrics mean.
I’ve literally watched all your video in a row since I found your page. It’s amazing to me how you see video and lyrics in a different way then I do after all these years. Excited for this next video! ❤️🙏🏾
Thank you so much for the kind words! And thank you for taking the time to watch! I’m loving it!😊👍
Im literally doing this rn, listening again to all those lyrics is just amazing, also great reactions and content. Goosebumps
staying home as much as you can will always make you happier i promise, take it from someone who regrets missing my sons baseball games, i missed my youngest sons first homerun because i thought me being a better drug rep and being gone 5 days a week would make him happier than me coaching him and being at third base when he passed me could be. it is so hard for people to not want to get to the top of their profession to give their kids the best life but their best life is you being there.
i just found you on youtube but since i have my mood has honestly changed!! i love hearing what you have to say about music and you actually break it down for people! continue to do what your doing your amazing, thank you!
Thanks for the love and support!😊👍
Dude these are some of the reactions I've seen keep it up bro
Thanks so much!😊👍
I saw some of the comments below suggesting cleaning out my closet, I agree that would be a good one to react to (& Headlights after that). Also, Like Toy Soldiers is another really good one. There's so many great Eminem songs, you can really see him pour out his heart and emotions into his songs. He said in an interview that writing songs was his therapy and it definitely shows cause he pours so much into them. I'm glad he's found something that helps him cause he's been through so much in his life it's amazing he's still here. Also fun fact, his daughter Hailie has a degree in psychology.
Eminem was the first rapper I ever listened to, and ultimately made me fall in love with hip-hop. His delivery, lyrical ability, and the way he can tell a great story of his life is the best I've ever heard. Love your reactions and breakdowns
Don’t think i will ever find someone as wholesome as this guy, holy fuck so wholesome!
Thank you 😁😁😁
I love your reactions so much because you actually listen, you break at down, you understand what he's saying and you get it. Like you really get it on an emotional level and that feels so good to relate to what someone's heart is spilling into the music. Can't wait to hear the next one!
I'd really love for eminem to see this.
This is probably the best reaction to an eminem song I've ever seen. It was fascinating.
Also you should definitely react to Hailie's Song
The idea of Innocence. “To kill a mockingbird, is to destroy innocence”.
You really really REALLY got to do "Castle" and "Arose", but it's very important to do them in 1 video and you need to listen them back to back, first "Castle" then "Arose". Also make sure to listen them until the last second and to find the correct versions of each song.
Love your videos! Greetings from Mexico.
Thank you for suggesting this! It's criminal how underrated Arose is.
I was about to comment the same thing! I’d also love to see Bad Husband
ik this is a year ago but YES! revival is such an overlooked album. even tho it’s definitely not in my top 3, these two songs saved the album for me
There's a video of him doing this song at a concert and in the very beginning of it when he starts singing/wrapping you can hear his voice start cracking. And he cries a little bit while he's rapping in the beginning. I'm sure wrapping about it. He's feeling it because he's out on tour and she's home. I know I mentioned it in my previous comment but you seem to really enjoy this look into Eminem's past. You would 100% enjoy Castle in a rose. And in your head. And yes all the stuff in this song is true and same goes for those songs. Laney is Kim's sisters daughter who overdosed and died he adopted. There's also another one Whitney that he adopted. Who is a daughter that Kim had from another relationship. I'm pretty sure it was after they split up she got pregnant and had a kid he adopted her as well. He also adopted his younger brother Nathan. So he wouldn't have to live with his mom
Leaving Heaven - Eminem…dude you need to create a week worth of just only Eminem and then a week of NF and Polo G and Juice.. and so on..but honestly Eminem is 50 years old. He’s been rapping for over 26 years now..but each album has some deeeeep ass songs that require someone like you to break down. The Biggest HipHop fan or biggest Eminem fan can NOT breakdown his deepest songs like you can because of your knowledge in said field and you’re understanding of the mind. I promise you, reacting to Eminem will def boost and build your UA-cam page. He literally runs the UA-cam reaction algorithm. Not lying lol.. but also throughout all that you’ll also be breaking down some good content. It’s a win win !!
Thanks so much for this reaction! I appreciate you watching!😊👍
This is one of my favorite eminem songs i love eminem but watching your reaction is so relaxing and i love the way you layout all the points and be so real bout them. thanks for doin this.
I love the fact that Eminem now treats it as a 9-5 job. Goes to work, takes.his hour lunch and then goes home at 5 to go spend time with his family and go home. He really has tried to balance his life I think.
On a side note, please go check out colors and shapes by Mac Miller
Mac Miller is a psychotherapists textbook, would very interesting to see him breakdown them songs
I have my reminders on for this, I’ve been waiting :D
Wow, what you said about absent fathers really resonated with me. Thanks for that insight and thanks for your great reaction, stranger. You should check out more of Mac Millers work - i suggest Perfect Circle / God Speed or the entire Faces mixtape
It’s amazing how life can change our interpretation to songs based of our own personal experiences. My long term bf has a daughter with a woman who is definitely BPD. But I was watching this I said out loud “I’m shocked Eminem never had more children” and my boyfriend says “I’m not. Kim was a lesson he never wanted to repeat”. I sat and chewed on that for a while and he’s right. Hailie is the representation of his guilt and failures. The source of his deepest pain. Such a great song.
Great reaction as always! I think "Eminem - Not afraid" is a good one to react to next. It is his comeback song after he beat his addiction and written as a motivational song for others who might be in a similar situation 👍🏼
Mockingbird is the old song sampled or being played in the background, the lullaby where you sing 'mama's/daddy's gonna buy you a Mockingbird'. if you want to see some of what Em went through in his own childhood you might try Cleanin' Out My Closet.
Try “The Real Slim Shady” if you want to try something a bit less intense and more humorous by em, or “Castle” and it’s follow up “Arose”, to get more of this family/drug recovery story. Thanks, I love your videos, I find them really insightful!!
Thanks so much! I appreciate you!😊👍
just suggested castle and arose too, most emotional I think I’ve ever felt after hearing a song (songs) for the first time and every time since xxx
I comment this in every Eminem video, but you gotta check out Bad Guy. It's literally Stan pt.2 in the perspective of Stans little brother Matthew years later, venting his spite for Eminem and blaming him for his brothers death. It connects to Stan perfectly and even explains why he wrote Stan in the first place.
It's deep.
I am binge watching your eminem reacts. I hope you create more reacts to eminem or j cole songs. Thank you so much for these vids.
You have analyzed this very nicely👌The ups and down’s, he ‘talkes’ about everything.. Raw as it is.. Truth is raw like a diamond in the rough💎
Awesome! Another good Em song is "Space Bound". Also, if you choose to listen to more Mac Miller, some good ones to choose from are "Fight the Feeling", "Earth", "Wedding", and "So it Goes".
yes! space bound please!
2009
Omg I just found this I didn’t realize you reacted to this but it makes my heart so happy I love this song it has such a special place in my heart it’s the song my dad would play and sing to me when I was younger when times at home were rough and I was really struggling with it and my depression getting worse this was and is our song so alot of it related to our situation I love your feedback too and your videos in general it really makes me want to start back up on my dream to be a therapist and work towards it honestly keep it up I found you not too long ago threw Mel’s music and I’m so happy I did ❤️
eminem - cleaning out my closet is a great song about his past . would love to see your reaction
The little blonde is Hailey. The dark haired one is Lainy, she's the neice but he adopted her as his own daughter when her mother couldn't take care of her.
i’d love to see a reaction to no love - featuring Eminem and Lil wayne, that song helped me through a lot of hard times. Also, Space bound is also a veryyyy good song by ‘Em that i think you would like, the music videos are also 🔥
Subscribed. One of the best reaction channel on YT,hands down. Truly a "therapy" ! Thank you for doing this for us (Em's music really did pull me through some SH!T so it is great to see an actual psychothrapist breaking it down).
Please do cleaning out my closet followed by headlights!!
Oh that’ll be good! I hope he does this!
@@JoeChok second this
Would love these 2 as well, 2 of my fave em songs ever xxx
Not sure if you have done it yet but "when I'm gone" my gosh very emotionally heavy
Fun fact: When Em wrote his songs he read whole dictionary to expand his vocabulary, that's why his songs are that well written.
😳😳😳
I always come here expecting to see you react to music, but I exit the video everytime with knowledge and more insight into my own mental and the issues I deal with. Thank you
This song is one of Em' masterpieces, I recommend "cleaning out my closet" next, you'll enjoy it and understand Em's tough childhood and his relationship with his mum, totally worth it!
Totally agree but he needs to do cleaning out my closet followed by headlight so he can hear Em’s thoughts now that he’s older
For me; my dad not being present was the reason I fought tooth and nail to be In my daughters life. Being a dad is the crowning achievement of anything I’ve ever done. I named her Hailey 🤘love your reaction. This song hits hard.
CANT WAIT FOR THIS
OMG I SUGGESTED THIS I CANT BELIEVE HE CHOSE IT
@@megadaddysean surprise!!😁😁
Me either!!!😊👍
Another great reaction Tom, as a long time Eminem fan - it’s so heartwarming to see you slowly (or not so slowly maybe lol!) fall in love with his music. He’s truly one of the best writers of our generation.
This track is all based on true events and those are all videos of him, Kim, Haillie (biological daughter of him and Kim) and Alaina (Lainey - Kim’s sister’s child, who sadly died of an overdose). There’s also Kim’s child by another man, but she’s the youngest - I think around 18-19 just now so isn’t in these videos.
Kim and Em’s relationship was full of trauma, addiction, suicide attempts (Kim’s had 3 or 4 attempts to my knowledge, with the latest one only a year or so ago so she still struggles I think) and breakdowns, it’s really sad.
They got married really young, divorced, then re-married and then got divorced again. Kim has been in jail previously too. I think she had a horrible childhood too and was in the foster care system before coming to live with Em when they were still at high school.
Eminem, for the most part, had custody of all 3 girls but I think they try to co-parent as best they can when Kim is well. She doesn’t do press or social media, but I’ve seen her interviewed once, maybe 5 or 6 years ago and she confirmed what a great dad Em is and how much he does for her and the girls.
He stopped going overseas when the girls were teenagers to provide stability and also treated his music as more of a traditional job, being in the studio from 9.00-5.00, making sure he was home for the girls in the evening etc.
Kim is a brutal track that deals with his relationship, it’s an old one and he hasn’t performed it at a show for years as it’s too disrespectful. (Same as Cleaning out my closet).
I’m sure you’ve got loads of Em suggestions for deep songs, but if you’re looking for something to break it up, ‘Without Me’ is really fun and shows his goofy side. Also, ‘my band’ with D12 is really funny too - it plays off the industry perspective that D12 would be nothing without Eminem, it’s very tongue in cheek and hilarious!
Thanks so much for this insight Emma! Very well said and it sounds like you know so much about him. It’s definitely slow for me but I’m working on learning more…always great to hear from you!😊👍
Great reaction and insight. I love watching your videos. Things weren’t always great and there are some songs that are hard to hear. There are three songs that go with his relationship with Kim, Kim, 97 Bonnie and Clyde, and Bad Husband. The first two are back to back chronologically and bad husband is many years later after they married and divorced twice, Kim went to jail, rehab, Marshall went to rehab, relapsed, overdosed, etc, so there is a lot of water under the bridge.
I would love to see a reaction to all 3 of those songs!!
Eminem - Beautiful is another master piece, it's a must watch for real.
Love your videos, they’re so calming :) keep it up!
Eminem’s journey and personal growth, his honesty and awareness of himself are so powerful. I love love love his new one Higher.
You need to watch 8 Mile
If you want more clarity on his upbringing, listen to Cleanin out my Closet
My first time tuning in, nice to meet everyone
Glad to have you! Hopefully you can join our family! And thanks for watching😊👍
His father left before he was a year old and he had a very turbulent relationship with his mother. He was actually born in Missouri and spent his entire childhood moving back and forth between Missouri and Michigan spending the majority of his childhood living in Detroit where he finally went to high school and failed 9th grade three times before dropping out. He had a daughter and a few years later he was signed by Dr. Dre and out out his first official album under a label in 1999 with his first album called Infinite coming out in 1996. He later adopted his wife’s niece because her parents were heavily addicted to drugs and couldn’t care for her. Later his wife had a baby with another man and he adopted her too as well as his own half brother. He was actually married to and divorced from his wife three times and they were always at each other’s throats, but after he got sober in 2008 they repaired their relationship and became friends again working on co-parenting. The girls are all grown up now and I don’t know about the other two since I haven’t heard anything about them in a long time, but Hailie graduated high school with honors and graduated from Michigan State University with a degree in psychology and she recently posted a video online showing off her Spotify playlist for 2021 showing that she is a huge fan of her father’s music.
This helps a lot…thanks so much!😊👍
I love what you do & respect the channel mission. I’m a huge Eminem fan & think he’s a good example of calling out what’s wrong instead of denying it. It makes hard things easier when one can just recognize them honestly instead of hiding it. Slightly different note, I’m also a middle age white male professional and enjoy that you appreciate good hip hop (part of my tribe)!
Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment! I appreciate it😊👍
Been really enjoying your perspectives on Eminem's songs. If you are interested some interviews/documentaries to learn about his life that will help to frame his writings and give you a better picture of who he his. You can either watch these off line, or for content. 2 of them are rather long.

I’ve been waiting on u doing this one 😀loved ur reaction to when I’m gone, it’s actually the first time i’ve ever heard anyone who watched it concentrating on Hayley’s feelings and I loved that.This one should shows that he was aware of how much what was happening was affecting his daughter and it’s so clear he feels guilty for that.His love for his daughter by his ex Kim along with Whitney and Lainey who he adopted, is one of the things that I love most about him.I had just split up with the dad of my 3 oldest daughters when this was released and felt the same guilt about them not gonna have both parents together, he was violent tho so it wasn’t healthy for any of us especially them xxx
Can’t wait for this one
I'm sure many mentioned that Marshall has songs about his mother too, his songs are like chain you can connect them and because of that they are like movie i guess, I would recommend you ,,cleaning out my closet" (Dedicated to his mother) and then ,,Headlights" (Again, dedicated to his mother).
You must please do Castle & Arose by Eminem. I’ll be waiting for those 🙏
My dad died in my arms in high school after being abandoned by my mom as a child. I spiraled my senior year, and a lot of the music you’ve reviewed ether saved me from ending it all or helped pull me away from that darkness in later years. Love the videos.. highly suggest looking at “End of the Road” by machine gun kelly and “guide me” by caskey. Both really old songs by both artists. Idk if I’d be making this comment without them.
After this one maybe you could do Eminem - bad husband or
Eminem - castle & arose they go together
I appreciate you taping into em to help people… he’s always helped me
Sing for the Moment is a great song
This was the first Eminem song I heard when I was like 8 and that’s when I became a life long fan
one of my favorite eminem songs. all he wants is to be the father that he never had growing up. another great song by eminem is "difficult." he never officially released the song but it is on youtube through third parties. he wrote it as a tribute to his best friend Proof after he died but it was too painful for him to release
Song legitimately gets me everytime 😢 how he literally breaks down and can't finish his sentence 😭 so emotional
I throughly enjoy your content and clinical perspective. EM listens and watches UA-cam. You keep going I won’t be surprised if he reaches out.
I definitely recommend watching 8mile in you’re free time. It really gives you a look into what his life was like when he was young.
Also great reaction as always Tom. Keep them coming :)
I'm late, I just found you're reactions to so many Eminem songs and I love your perspective and ideas of what he rap in his songs.
Thank you very much.
Please listen to eminem KIM i need to see your reaction and i want to hear your perspective about it! LOVE
I love how you don't just listen to the music, but u also give a very interesting input as far as psychology goes. Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪👌🏼
Eminem- rock bottom
The end part really ties up what Eminem would do for his daughter, because over the years he has had beef with a lot of people, but the ones that brought Hailie into the fight, were the ones that didnt have a carrer at the end.
Oh if you want a more silly video from Eminem you should check out “Without Me”
As a child when listening to his music, his music helped me through my own journey i guess.
Some songs made me laugh at how crazy someone would have to be to do this stuff in real life, and to even get away with it if he actually did those crazy things.
But it also taught me what not to do if i ever lost it, which when bullied almost every day at school, and at home by my older sister, was a constant thought that crossed my mind.
Other songs taught me that it doesn't matter what people have to say about you, i think worse things about myself everyday, but that leads to problems asking for help with the reason behind it being not believing my problems are worth a damn... anyway went off track.
Then some songs just had an uplifting message and a nice beat to compliment it that just gave me relief and made my problems seem less painful to deal with.
Now im split from my ex with a 2 year old daughter, split custody and thats only thanks to personal reasons, otherwise i dont think i would've gotten a chance to even my daughter again.
It's The Hard-Knock Life

Listen to Kim, it is the zenith of Em’s emotions to do with his ex wife Kim
My mom and dad could not understand how I can listen to HipHop. But to see someone that are about the same age as my parents, and actually listen to the lyrics are great!
You are doing a great job!
