Thanks for stopping by the channel! 💛
Keep being awesome🎉
@@BrayBray-ez3ps Thank you for that! Glad to hear I'm doing something somewhat right here! Much appreciated! 💛
@@FreyaReacts Something you should understand about eminem, is that his songs arent ever about one single thing. Well some are. But they are usually about a theme, and they arent easy to follow from point A to point B. Its sort of like ideas mixed together, that are all related and they dont always go in order. Its sort of like when you cant get to sleep and you mind whirrs and you go from one thought to the next, a lot of his music is like this. Sometimes the songs elements dont seem to relate or they seem complete at odds with each other but if you sit down and think about it, then you can see how his brain thinks about things and how he tries to get his messages across.
I don`t think he say his albums don't do well, but he have emotional grown a lot, and fast, there are always fans there will tell him how much they loved his older stuff. And keep saying it for every album. Then when they catch up to him, they don`t like the next album.
@@charg1nmalaz0r51 The word you're looking for is allegory
As an Eminem fan who has listened to his music for over 20 years it is nice to see a fresh perspective of people who have never heard certain songs from him love your reactions keep going
Thanks so much! It's been a wild ride so far and if I were a betting person, I would bet it stays that way. I've just been so surprised, though. And, I continue to be. It's wild!
@@FreyaReacts you should react to Obie Trice feat Eminem Hey Lady
"Am I alone in thinking it's powerful" Considering it has almost 2 billion views just on UA-cam, nah I think people all over the world relate to this one in a pretty significant way
Hey Freya I know someone already suggested “ Going Through Changes “ but I suggest listening to “ De Ja Vu “ first. It gives you more context going into the first song. Love your reactions!
This is my favorite song he ever wrote. The message was so positive. I love being part of this community 💕. Also for context relapse was one of his albums. His addiction was so bad he had to learn to read speak and write again. That's why he said I'll never let you down again because he's promising to never go down that dark path again
This was amazing! I needed this!
@@FreyaReacts you're stronger than you give yourself credit for Freya. As someone who's been disabled all my life I know strength and fortitude when I see it. And you my friend have it
I personally do not mind pauses-- as long as the reactor hits the back arrow just to go back 5 seconds or so, so you don't happen to miss something. He fits a lot in a tiny amount of time. But I watch reactors for their thoughts too, its like when you get to introduce a friend to something you love and see their thoughts in live time.
Great reaction!
Eminem - Deja Vu
He talks about his addiction, (2009) when he returned back.
Thanks so much! Deja Vu is officially on the list! Can't wait to check it out. But, please hang in there with me....this list got out of control quick fast Much appreciated! 💛
@@FreyaReacts I’m sure you have a ton! You’re a fantastic reactor! :)
Deja vu is the perfect walk-through a relapse process. Love it.
You can pause on the hook. Also, his delivery is always different from his last one. S tier right there
I'll do my best. I've recorded some others that I can't help but, I'll hopefully get better. Thank you!
@@FreyaReactsyou can pause whenever you want girl, you’ll never absorb the lyrics on a first listen otherwise
@@niki4you Thank you so much for that! I do take into consideration constructive feedback. But, there is a just so much... just a lot of directions/opinions about what I should be doing so, I appreciate this! 💛
@@FreyaReacts You’re so welcome, people feel entitled to get their way but this is your channel and if they don’t like how you do it they can leave. Ultimately we want you to not just enjoy, but understand these songs so you do whatever you need to do to achieve that 🫶🏻
@MrBobTek not all of Ems Songs have hooks thou
His motivational songs are equally as good as his emotional songs. His lyrical tracks are as good as his goofy tracks. He’s so versatile and always tries to give 110% for his fans
Eminem the best.
This song got me through tough times so many times. Listening to it always makes me not feel alone in my struggles, which really help. I respect Em for being genuine and for being an example of how to fight through the darkest times in life.
thank you for your reactions =) i been a Eminem fan since 99 so happy
I don't mind the length of your reactions at all. You're authentic and thats wonderful 🙏🏼. I also dig the skeleton key opening! And even how you slowly cut clips as they fade into each other as you edit them 🙂 simple but so cool
Thank you so much for saying that! I appreciate any positivity but, let me tell you -- the editing is the most time-consuming part of this whole process. So I appreciate the shout out for that! Appreciate you! 💛💛💛
Thank You for reacting to Not Afraid. I knew You would Love this song. It’s so uplifting and inspirational. I Love Your reaction to this song. Amazing Reaction. This song has helped me through a lot of mental health problems. Eminem will do that to You. If You have something to say it’s best to say it at the beginning of Your Videos. Thank You Once Again for Doing a Reaction Video to Not Afraid again. You doing a Fantastic Job and I’m Pleased You Love the song. Sending Much Love To You and Your Song. Your videos aren’t too long and pause and rewind when You want to don’t worry what song people are saying ignore that. ❤❤
Thank you so much for all of that! It really is folk's like you that help drown out all the hate and will keep me going here... so, I very much appreciate you! 💛
Neo is actually a great reference. Em refers to himself as Neo in the Rap God video. Along with a crazy amount of other references in there lol. Hes a pop culture trap, the things he remembers and uses baffle me sometimes lol.
after you get through some of his bigger hits, id really recommend doing his full album reactions:) seeing the whole picture in order is a very unique experience
I would love to do that. Especially since I keep hearing from people that he'll keep referencing backwards. I want to understand the songs.
@@FreyaReacts Just be aware not all of his music is wholesome or empowering lol. His early career was mainly about being wild and controversial. I mean it all had underlying messages but just in case thats not your cup of tea i thought i would mention.
Great reaction 👍 I was just thinking, if you ever do the song beautiful make sure you do the unedited version as the censored one has the entire 3rd and outro missing. Also the songs never love again and going threw changes are 2 of my favorites 👍
Thanks so much for the tip! Beautiful is definitely on the list so this is great. Much appreciated! 💛
Girl keep up the Eminem reactions. Good job.
love it
Marking this as the first double entendre catch
“Go to the pub and lift the whole liquor counter up”(bar),”because im raising the bar i shoot for the moon” i thought that line was sick
Addiction is insane. It hurts
i like you are reaction
Him standing on the edge of the building was him contemplating him jumping off the edge
Fire
🔥
Freya 🤗🥳 with another great reaction let's gooo keep up the great work
Thanks so much! This one was a lot of fun to do. Loved it!
You are not speaking nonsense. When you listen to someone like ‘Em, and follow his catalog, it is surreal because you feel like it is in real time but he has been through all of his experiences. It is like reading someone’s gigantic audio diary, and wherever you ARE, that is where he WAS. I would say, just stay in the B-rabbit hole, and just let go, AND let it go wherever it takes you, imho. I could tell you every damn track you should listen to, but this is your ‘Em, Marshall, Slim journey, so follow the Sun, and take a rest in the Shad(y) when needed then keep going, there is so much, it is so rich, there are triumphs, and missteps, like all of us. 🔥👌😎 JP
I luv your vids❤
Thank you so much! So glad to hear I'm doing something somewhat right here.... much appreciated!
Hey, didn't watch you for couple of days because of personal problems, anyway love your reaction. Em is my personal hype man for every struggles or achievements. The man can't do wrong... ❤❤❤❤😅😅😅
Hope all is well. Glad to see you back!
This song is awesome
It really is. I loved, loved, loved it! I needed it too! So glad I heard this! Much appreciated!
Eminem was and is very good at inspiring through his lyrics and his experiences. In the songs Sing for the moment, Lose Yourself and Toy Soldier he shows us without a doubt why he is one of the best in the history of rap with a unique ability to express messages of deep meaning with which many today can identify.
Niceee
I have enjoyed all of your reactions to Em. I wish I could listen to his collection for the first time again. But watching you do it is the next best thing.
I commented on another video about "bars" saying we'll need to teach you about them. And at 10:09 you had one of your first "OH!" moments. You caught the bar! Those "OH!" moments are one of the biggest reasons Em will always be my #1. 25 years later and every now and then I still get a "OMG How did I never catch that one?!"
So it made me smile to see you have one yourself. :)
Edit: And you caught the "raising the bar" one too! hahah its so much fun watching someone learn the art.
Thank you so much. I honestly feel so clueless when I sit down to listen to these songs but, hopefully I'll get better. And I loved this one so much! Actual replay/ playlist for me. Don't get me wrong, the other songs have been amazing, just very heavy and emotional. Those are "for a specific time" type of songs for me. I hope that makes sense.
@@FreyaReacts Oh absolutely. The heavy ones are in fact very heavy. They only get heavier the more you know also. And this one becomes more impactful once you learn more of the life he had to leave behind.
I'm sure your list is getting crazy long, but if you want another uplifting/motivational song (or a GREAT workout song) "Till I collapse" has to be one of the best for that. It's an older one, but timeless.
Whatever you decide to listen to, I'm here for!
Hey Freya I've enjoyed this new channel, thanks for making reaction videos.
Thank you so much! Glad you are enjoying it!
Whenever I listen to this song, it gets me motivation to do something to do in life a help me be a better person. Also , I'm not alone. Who else is going through something
Remember your reactions are to lost songs what he was going through at that time
He pronounces words in certain ways to make them rhyme too. Word bender.
Soldier is a really great track. So is Marshal mathers.
Rock Bottom is beautiful. And so is beautiful. lol
Thank you so much! Beautiful and Rock Bottom are officially on the list. This list has a life of its own so, please hang in there with me. Can't wait to hear these, though! Much appreciated!
for someone so new you catch a lot of the lines and the meanings
Thank you. I've always thought I did a good job with lyrics in other genres but, feel pretty clueless sometimes doing these. So its nice to hear there is some hope for me, lol
I'm glad you liked my suggestion for this as a follow-up on the mood of determination that Arose ends with. This song is pure determination, and it's a great song for getting you pumped up when you're facing a challenge.
Can I just say, I love the contrast of someone so soft-spoken wearing a Deadpool shirt and listening to Eminem, two of the least soft-spoken figures in popular culture.
Lol, I've been referred to as someone who "speaks softly but carries a big stick."
Love DP though, for a very long time. Like I have his first appearance comic, New Mutants #98
And, yes this was so great. I really needed this! Thank you so much for suggesting it!
@@FreyaReacts Em is a big comic fan himself. He featured as a character in an issue of The Punisher, and he did a track for the movie Venom. If he hadn't become a rapper, his next aspiration was to become a comic book artist. He drops comic references in a lot of his songs such as "Rap God", and mentions in "Legacy" how comics and rap were his escapes from his circumstances when he was a child. Back before he got mainstream success, he was part of a hip hop group called Soul Intent, and if you look up their 1994 track "Biterphobia", you can see the cover art that he drew himself in a comic book style, as well as hear some of his rapping from 5 years before he became famous.
@@PenneySounds Yeah, I heard about his massive collection from another person who noticed all my DP shirts. I don't know why that surprises me, that he's a comic fan, but it does!
@@FreyaReacts Well, he's a nerd, which is why he's so relatable to so many of us. He's probably on the autism spectrum, and he grew up as a bullied poor kid, so comic books are par for the course for someone like that. Hip hop also often draws the same kind of introverted and obsessive mind, because it's a great way of organising and expressing thoughts with an eye for detail and intricacy. A lot of rappers are comic nerds and sci-fi nerds and anime nerds and will drop those references in their work. His song "Legacy" is all about that feeling of growing up feeling like an outsider, and it shows that obsessive attention to detail because he uses the same rhyme scheme for the entire song, beginning to end, without ever running out of rhymes.
Love the way you lie, space bound and coffin
Fire Em❤️🔥
Yeah, this was just amazing! Loved, loved this!
His talking about his song called relapse & he felt it didn't do that well
Also, exercise these demons! I was thinking about that line when I went for a run today 😀 then hopped on UA-cam and saw this upload! What a coincidence
Oh how cool. What a happy coincidence! Hope you enjoyed the video! Appreciate you being here and sticking around with me. 💛
Can you rreact to Eminem-Goong through changes, the song details everything hes been through
Thank you for the suggestion. Going Through Changes is officially on the list. Please hang in there with me. This list is out of control but, I can't wait to check this out. Thanks, again! 💛
Great request. It's a deep song.
Reaction to All she wrote by T.i ft Eminem
Another song where he essentially forgives his mom is in the song Headlights. If you need a good workout/motivation song then check out Higher.
Thanks so much! I did do "Headlights" and wow....that song. Hopefully you get a chance to check it out.
Higher -- officially on the list. Thanks so much for taking a minute to comment. Much appreciated! 💛
Eminem is the rap god goat he's been through many struggles so everything he is saying is within his heart and yes he can be controversial but who ain't technically he is just a normal dude that can spitfire out of his mouth like no other he conquered so many struggles and a lot of us can't even put ourselves in that position and he raised Hip Hop and if somebody says he is not the rap god goat fight me and I'll tell you what he has accomplished and what he has been through and what he is still going through and he's still makes the best of it he opened up Hip Hop pretty much for the whole world hip hop is now for everybody and yes we had a few other white rappers before him that killed it play the Beastie Boys you should check them out but other than that I don't see anybody that has done what he's done in the rap game
Thank you. Yeah, I am beginning to see that I've really missed out on watching his career over time. But, I'm glad to be here now and have just been so surprised (in the best possible way.) Thanks so much for being here and taking a minute to comment! Much appreciated!
03:25 lol
Yeah he's talking to his fans in this song he's telling people that are struggling with addiction to follow him & that their not alone
Yeah....it's amazing. Loved, loved this! So motivational, inspirational! Loved it!
@@FreyaReacts yeah Eminem is so cool this is one of my favorite eminem songs along with Stan & wen Iam gone & mockingbird & his diss track toward Mariah Carey
yeah he curses alot, but he has helped pulled people out of the darkest points. he has some songs that are pure violent etc but he continued to create music for people that look upto him
Awesome reaction now you gotta do deja vu
Thanks so much! Glad to see I'm doing something part-way right here....
Deju Vu -- officially on the list. Please hang in there with me, this list took on a life of its own. But, I can't wait to check this out. Much appreciated!
Freya, I love the Eminem content keep it coming. Can I suggest reacting to Ren next. He has absolutely taken over reactions and his music is the most powerful thing around. Listen to Ren- Hi Ren first and go down the Rabbit Hole from there❤
Ps his reactions are subscriber magnets lol
you should check out 2000 VMA Eminem performance
that rabbit hole only goes deeper Alice
MTV
I do kinda feel like Alice down the rabbit hole? Sitting at some crazy tea party but, hey -- not complaining! Ok, 2000 VMAs officially on the list! Please hang in there with me...this list got a mind of its own. But, can't wait to check this out! Much appreciated!
I really wanna see your reaction to 3am or stay wide awake, Im really interested in what you would think.
Thank you so much. 3am then Framed (in that order, I'm told) are officially on the list. Stay Wide Awake -- officially on the list. Please hang in there with me. The list is outta hand but, I can't wait to check these out. Thanks so much! Appreciate you!
You’re doing great btw.
I appreciate that!
Hello Ms.Freya! I’ve now watched 7 of your videos now but this will be my first comment ma’am. And if I had to guess I’m probably about to be blasted out of the comment section for this I’m sure. Even though I’m not hating on Em at all , I was in junior college when he dropped his first album in the late 90’s and I do believe he’s the best to ever do this, but I only liked small samples of his works and that was just about every personal song he made I enjoyed , everything else I didn’t really have an ear for. However…….. 2 years ago I became bedridden due to a car accident and found an artist that I’d love to see you react to because he changed my mind about rap and my perspective on myself and the world around me. His name is NF, and a lot of people are going to tell you he’s a Christian rapper but he’s not, he’s just a rapper that’s a Christian. There’s a difference! Please check out his song and video HOPE ma’am. I drove 18 wheelers prior to my accident and I’m Christian, but people didn’t call me a Christian truck driver!! I already subbed in your first Em video I heard so I’m going to still be here either way ma’am but NF is by far the most transparent and honest writer/artist I’ve listened to in my 45 years!
Thank you so much for being here and taking time to comment and share. NF has come up a few times, actually. I would love to check out other artists as well so, NF is officially on the list! Please hang in there with me, though. This list took on a life of its own. But, I can't wait to check them out! Much appreciated!
I just realized that this the first song youve reacted to that didn't invole him burying someone hahahaha.
Fack is soooo meaningful.....bring the tissues......wait...lol.....also....seriously.....DO KIM...
..STORY TELLING AT ITS BEST
lol....people keep warning me about that one. I don't know what to think about doing that song. lol
Just got done watching the arose reaction. Loving your stuff if you want another artist to listen to as well do NF- How could you leave us. That’s a song that feels like it was meant for me super relatable.
Thanks so much for checking out the channel! Much appreciated! NF How Could You Leave Us is officially on the list. Please hang in there with me...the list took on a life of its own. But, I can't wait to check this out! Much appreciated!
@@FreyaReacts I’m here for the journey I’m loving your reactions also well done for getting the teeth references about fillings-feelings and crowned and capped. A lot of people don’t get that reference so you done well.
@@kylemckee3968 Thank you -- I've had so much dental work done so...there's a minus to that, lol
@@FreyaReacts either way still a good catch keep doing your thing tho it’s great and I’m looking forward to your future videos. Much love from England.
Do 'beautiful' full lyrics version or 'sing for the moment' next
Thanks so much for the suggestions. Beautiful and Sing for the Moment are officially on the list.
@@FreyaReacts From what I've seen from your reaction videos, you'll love them both! Deep songs both. Just make sure you listen to the full version of 'beautiful' lyrics. Loving the reactions. Keep em coming!
Hi Freya, this is the second reaction of yours I've watched. I wanted to give you a heads up. Some people will ask you to react to Fack. Don't react to it. Fack is like a joke track.
Thanks so much. That actually has come up. Only once (so far) but...yeah. Appreciate the warning! Thank you!
I would after this react to beautiful .
Thanks so much. Beautiful is officially on the list!
oh i cant wait one of my all time favorite's songs and there is an official video for it. ua-cam.com/video/lgT1AidzRWM/v-deo.html@@FreyaReacts
React to Lazarus new song “Scalpel” produced by Denaun Porter of Shady Records. Just came out, most lyrical song in years!! No Life Shaq just did a reaction, Tech N9ne posted it and The Game posted it too! ❤
Thanks for this comment again. I have this on the list but, definitely think I need to get better at this before I try to do "the most lyrical song in years!" Thanks so much for the suggestion!
Ain't no way you have never heard this song, this is like not knowing who Jesus is.
Lol, well I didn't just not listen to him - I actively avoided his music. The only one I can think of that was just unavoidable is "Lose Yourself" and even that one, I know the hook and general pace of it but, not really the lyrics.
@@FreyaReacts I was the same for like... 15 years... And one day out of nostalgia of past time I saw Mookinbird (just a radio record in my head), now his playlist is longer than every artist I have ever listen.
@@mrBobTek I'm beginning to see why. I also really loved this song because it's the first one that I can really give to my son as an introduction. If you're aware, he was listening to something that I couldn't understand and when I asked his what it was, he said rap. And, I said no that isn't. I don't know anything really but, I know at least enough to know that whatever that was...it wasn't rap. So, this song in particular is super special because my son kinda sparked this whole channel/journey.
for clarification this song was released before arose and has nothing to do with it other than that its also motivational, not sure what the other commenter meant.
Oh, wow. Ok, thanks. Hmmmm
He meant that eminem’s life journey portrayed in “not afraid” happened after “arose”.
Yes, they weren't written in this order, but they flow well this way. Arose is Em reflecting (a good few years after the fact) on how close he came to death from addiction and how he resolved to get himself together and come back with a whole new energy and determination. Not Afraid is him fresh after doing that and expressing that exact energy and determination.
Another great reaction. I do believe Em felt responsible for anyone he influenced to go the drug route. I think he's saying "If you followed me to that place of drugs, then follow to sobriety". Just my humble opinion
Oh, wow.....thanks for that perspective. Much appreciated.
React to Kasey Chambers - Lose Yourself (cover). She changed the song in a type way you can appreciate even more Eminem's pen. And that cover touch me like Lose Yourself never could
Yep, got that on the list. Can't wait to check it out. This list got out of hand really quickly but, I've gotten this one quite a few times. Thank you! 💛
Never listen to hate all reaction channels are different some have long videos some have short personally i prefer long shows your really paying attention dont listen to hate make your channel your own get great vibes off this channel will grow before you know it just keep doing what your doing
Please react to some uk rap
Dappy sbtv beautiful me
Sings raps and plays the piano pure talent
Will get some uk subs
Thanks so much for that. It's folks like you that help drown out all the hate -- much appreciated. That's what'll keep me going here. Dappy dbtv - Beautiful to Me -- officially on the list! Thanks, again!
Hey Freya, can you please react to Eminem - Stay Wide Awake. Thanks!!!
Thanks so much! Stay Wide Awake -- officially on the list. Please hang in there with me...the list is out of control. But, I can't wait to check it out! Thanks, again! Much appreciated!
Haha, Freya i recommend you that u do this song after a couple more songs of Em, because this is something totally different from what u are hearing on this songs. Btw, Stay Wide Awake is a liryc masterpiece.
@@julienfe4820 Oh, thanks for the tip!
It’s horror core rap. Slim shady style.
Really excellent rap, but it’s literally a horror movie told in a rap.
It’s hard to wrap your head around without loving Em first.
Then once you love Em you can start appreciating his unhinged twin alter ego slim shady :)
@@erikahutchcraft1742 Exactly
It's after his Rehab
Yeah...like he's promising not to go back to that "dark" place of addiction. This was amazing! Loved it! Thank you!
React to eminem space bound
Thank you! Got Spacebound officially on the list. Please hand in there with me...this list took on a life of its own. But, I can't wait to check this out! Much appreciated!
Please react to 8 mile. You will love it and we will too.
Thank you! It's definitely on my list of things to do...just trying to figure out the specifics of how/when/where. But, I do understand that it is loosely based on his own life story so, I am super interested in watching it. Thanks so much! Appreciate you! 💛
Hi Freya in my part it's ok that you meditated abd take everything' in on these kinds of songs by Eminem.
I for one would like you to share you'd input of the songs. It doesnt matter to me if. You take long to clearl your thoughts
Is Beautiful on you'd reaction list?
Ithas a powerful message.
Beautiful
Thank you so much for saying that. Yep - Beautiful is officially on the list. Can't wait to check it out. Thanks, again. Much appreciated!
Again chorus
Hey Freya I would recommend you to react to Guts Over Fear ft. Sia if you like motivational songs.. nice scarf btw
Oh yeah and then Beautiful by Eminem pleaseee
Thanks so much! Beautiful and Guts Over Fear -- officially on the list. Please hang in there with me. This list is outta control but, I can't wait to hear these.
And, thank you so much. All of the scarves I wear were made by the person who raised me, who I consider to be my Mom. She passed and I guess I feel like it honors her in some small way. Much appreciated!
ill tell you what if you want to learn more follow knox hills break downs on Eminem.
Thank you for that. I bet that would be a good thing to do after I do my reactions here. Otherwise they wouldn't be first-time listens. But, I am super interested in learning so, Knox Hill -- thank you!
@@FreyaReacts It will blow your mind just how clever rap songs are if you listen to knox hill break them down. Theres lots of techniques, technical rhyming and multiple meanings throughout these songs. especially in eminems later songs. You will find his older stuff easier to follow than his later stuff
you are very welcome
@@FreyaReacts
I love weed
you could pause during the hook,also your audio delay is bad idk if its intentional but its unfortunate
Yeah, I'm sorry about that. I'm not working with the best equipment but, I do hope to improve on that soon. I'm gonna do my best on the pausing, I know I'm clueless but, I do want to get better. Thanks so much!
Ur hot, ur cool,you cannot trust the title. "Greatest"? Sheesh
I'm sorry, I don't really know what you're saying here. But, thanks for taking a moment to comment!

His albums when he was on drugs were not well received.
The chorus stop at chorus
React to his unreleased song called “Difficult”
His albums when he was on drugs were not well received.
