He’s speaking on the beef with G unit and Murder Inc, Dr. Dre and Death Row, and his beef with Benzino and The Source and how it all meshed together. Also his friend Proof, who played the dude that got killed in the video, died almost the same way 2 years later
3:20 craziest thing is, the actor playing dead is rapper Proof. Who actually was shot dead 3 months after this song was released. That's why in literally every show eminem performs, he makes the crowd shout "We love you proof, we miss you proof" before performing this song
Life imitated art and one of the members of D12 and Eminem’s close friend Proof was killed a couple years after this video I believe. Weird that Proof plays the guy who dies 👀
EM has been thro hell and back. Hell, aint nobody on this earth thats perfect. I think so many times he doesnt get the credit he deserves.....just my opinion. Thanks Tim n Fred for doin this💕😎
you are absolutely correct. it's not just music anymore once the kids are brought into this. there are certain lines people should not cross. it's sad that it had to come this far that they realized it's not worth it 😢
My favorite songs are these, when he just tells a true story about what's going on in his life. Those were crazy times. Sad to see it still going on today. Seems like it's getting back to the way it was back then if not worse.
Yes, me too!!! I was crazy about Martika's song. Toy Soldiers was very haunting. Unfortunately, it seemed I was the only one who knew this song and saw what a killer song it was. No one I mentioned it to knew it or was familiar with it! Oh, well! 😄 I guess I have finally found someone who knows and loves Martika's great song. Big ups to Eminem for using this hauntingly beautiful song.
It's good to see your generation accept white rappers. Even tho he was one of the biggest rappers ever, most people weren't bumping Eminem with their people or in public. People are more accepting nowadays and that's how it should be.
I can see by the background that you guys are doing very well for yourselves, or perhaps maybe you're just in another location.. Lol Kinda miss the vibe of your old room but I'm still here for it! Cheerio 💙
People should leave other's kids names outta their mouths...period..kids got no business in the middle of grown folks battles..its how you steal a kids magic and love of life..kids are not weapons...i do have to say it seems every new song i hear from Eminem is about some beef with someone else...literally like every song...he has got to be exhausted by this point..i liked the song just noticed a commonality in his music is all....life is too short to be upset or fighting or angry all of the time..loved the rudiments in the end...
Eminem is a great storyteller. Sad so many rappers have lost their violence. Can y'all also rap to DAX freestyling. He's good and of course the great Harry Mack. Thanks guys.🤗✌️
Eminem is my favorite. My family, being older white straight people don't understand. Tried to explain how he speaks to my soul. They just don't understand. I'm 70 and white. Maybe another incarnation. Keep doing what y'all are doing, sweetie pies. Love y'all mucho. 🥰 Still asking for Beth Hart and Joe Bonomassa 🤪
That suppose to be him n Proof in beginning Ning & it's so crazy/creepy/sad that Proof playing Bugz their homeboy that got killed here in Detroit then year n half later gets shot & killed ON 8 MILE literally 💔💔💔 the whole thing crazy ASF ...bout killed Em too...literally 😭
@@JDESBOIS94 when I had commented this, i was also watching Em and Yelawolf "best friend". I also mixed up commenting on that reaction as well for this one haha
I'm actually pretty sure he's talking about Proof (one of his bandmates in D12), but I cld be completely wrong... this might've been before he was shot and killed.

Thank you for educating them about this song. I was going to. ❤️
Proof was his best friend part of d12
Em had no beef with g unit 😂😂😂
@@pietknaak9927 exactly 50 was his apprentice
His beef is benzino

Still need to review “Stan”. Trivia-Proof is buried near Miss Rosa Parks in Detroit.
The song samples "Toy soldiers", by Martika. The song came out in 1988. The song was written about her friend, who died from a drug overdose.
Yep. Came here to say that. 💗
@@knicholsch Great minds think alike 😊
Life imitated art and one of the members of D12 and Eminem’s close friend Proof was killed a couple years after this video I believe. Weird that Proof plays the guy who dies 👀
Yea he passed away almost exactly the same way in a shooting outside a club! It’s crazy how reality played out RIP PROOF 🙏🏾
@@cmontalvo194 right?…such a weird omen, I can bet Eminem thinks about it a lot! I would!
The original by Martika!! 💥❤
The original is one of my favorite songs.
Oh yeah one of the best songs ever made...
Lisa, Lisa and Cult Jam “ Head to Toe “ 80’s band 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
What makes this video so haunting is the fact that it ends with Proof dying, when in fact Proof did die from gun violence a few years later.
There are certain lines you don't cross when you have a beef with someone. One of those lines is name dropping their kids as a diss.
EM has been thro hell and back. Hell, aint nobody on this earth thats perfect. I think so many times he doesnt get the credit he deserves.....just my opinion. Thanks Tim n Fred for doin this💕😎
There’s so much power in words and manifestation. Proof was portraying himself getting shot, and then it really happened. Crazy. RIP Proof
Eminem is phenomenally good at pulling in other music to weave in between his rapping.
Hey, happy New Year, everyone! Let's get a reaction to Donell Jones featuring Left Eye, "U Know What's Up."
This song used to make me weep as a child
If anything you just gotta appreciate Eminem as an artist. Love you both💖💖
Eminem is a brilliant lyricist. The way he puts the words together in his songs is amazing. No other rapper compares to him.
Very favorite Eminem song by far...the words make me mad and cry
Check out "Shout" by Tears for Fears!!!
Sample from . Martika, Toy Soldiers
the background "like toy soldiers" is sang by Marta, who was on Kids Incorporated back in the 1980's. need to look her up
Martika was her name
you are absolutely correct. it's not just music anymore once the kids are brought into this. there are certain lines people should not cross. it's sad that it had to come this far that they realized it's not worth it 😢
I love this remake he did honestly he nailed this one you guys should react to the original version of this song cuz this is a cover song.
My favorite songs are these, when he just tells a true story about what's going on in his life. Those were crazy times. Sad to see it still going on today. Seems like it's getting back to the way it was back then if not worse.
You should listen to the original of this song from the 80’s by Martika. I think that’s her name. Always gave me such an eerie vibe. But I loved it.
Yes, me too!!! I was crazy about Martika's song. Toy Soldiers was very haunting. Unfortunately, it seemed I was the only one who knew this song and saw what a killer song it was.

The original is actually from the 1960s. It's called One Tin Soldier and was sung by a Canadian band called The Caste.
@@baseballebm oh will check it out
@@le2800 me too😁
@@baseballebm I had no clue! Thanks for the info. Will check it out!
I am always impressed and appreciative of your understanding of right & wrong in the world. Keep doing you!
Remake of an 1989 song by a woman named Martika. Hers was a bit slower paced but the chorus is from that.
Tupac “Brenda Got A Baby”
You should listen to the original song Toy Soldiers by Marika
I miss the time when rappers spit BARS. Storytelling on snare drums
The beginning of that was about his best friend & collaborator being killed. Heartbreaking.
R.I.P. PROOF
I love y'all.
Eminem, heavy!! Thanks Tim and Fred, ✌ Joan Bates any songs from the 70s, 80s or 90s.
Would love to see a reaction to Soldier off of The Eminem Show.

Listen to the original song from the 80s by Martika "Toy Soldiers" it's about addiction.
This was about his friend from his group d-12 dying

Lost Boyz “Renee” (Official Video)Explicit verison

Absolutely do toy soldiers the original like the other comment said it's fire
Cool track. I think he put this out after his best friend Proof died if I remember correctly.
Yes, he did.
Nah proof died in 2006, this was released in 2004. That’s Proof in the video
No. This music video was ironically filmed 2 years before before Proofs death, who died just like he did in this video.
Y’all right. I was thinking of his homie Bugz from D12. That’s who I think he’s referring to when making this song.
@@charlesxavier5681 you are correct, it was Bugz he was referencing in the video, just crazy how he had Proof play Bugz in the video.
Try Dimash Stranger and SOS 2021 Has the top 2 Billboard songs right now He is Famous
