Eminem probably has no idea about how many people he inspired with his songs, especially this one. When "Not Afraid" came out, I was hooked on stimulants and sleeping pills and felt lost and alone in a dead end road. Then I listened to it and I realized that the way out of pills actually exists, but I had to keep strong and look for it. His song and his own example inspired me to keep strong, look for the way out and walk away from the pills. Thanks Em..
To be honest when I listen to Tragic Endings and Castle, his voice sounds like he had this song produced a few years ago and not 2017 because if you compare that to how his voice sounds now, they sound different. Especially Castle where he says "I'm getting sick of chasin' this illusion" or "I'ma turn into someone", it sounds like he changed some parts of the lyrics and put them in the song just recently.
Bruh!! I just came back from a 2017 Vid of Skylar Grey ft Eminem "The Way You Lie", dang Drummer is still doing great there and it's 2020! HAHAHAHHA Epic as fuk
*Dear EMINEM,* _in_ *_this song_* _you said you’d help me out of the dark place in which I used to live my life. In recent years, you’ve made good on that promise. Thank you man. I owe my life to your amazing art._ _This track marks a shift to kindness for your fans; a consideration for our mental health and well-being. The promise made here slipped through the wayside for many of those fans, the critics and the public._ - - - What many of those old fans and critics failed to realize is that for genuine change to happen, you must begin with honesty. Em could not have kept the rage, the consistent talk about his life in poverty, resentment and anger towards his mother or the world. That would be disingenuous. He’s more socially and politically aware. He has analyzed and thought deeply where he wants to stand on issues regarding the future of his kids. He is not and hasn’t been broke for a very long time. Has has food, a home and doesn’t have to dig for pocket change to get by. He’s come to terms with his past regarding his family and his come-up. To change, there had to be shift in messaging, he realized this - but as he grew as a person, *he did not want to just leave his fans behind.* He thought deeply how he would let them know. It has to be with a no BS, and a clear and direct message. He wants his fans to walk with him, and to be happy. Take another listen. He is offering you his hand. He pleads and tries to explain that things have been changing, and are about to change in his music. He can no longer consistently talk about darkness and doom. Would you like someone to be fake just to please you? I’d hope not. *With all of that said, DO NOT get it twisted. Eminem has been at the top of his game artistically and lyrically. Even on his worst days, and on his worst records, he slays.* *He still goes hard if you cross him, and will destroy any rapper who tries to test him. He can make them walk away with their tail tucked between their legs and change their career path.* Lots of complaining, anger and resentment towards Eminem. If you’re one of those people who thinks he abandoned you, he never left you. You left him. I hope this reaches someone. Sometimes it helps to get a different perspective. Peace and love to everyone! - Jon Houston, TX
+Samantha Chandler i wanna make a joke about me being a machine using my "man hood*, but i'm bad at joking, i have a terrible sense of humor... this awkward!!! sorry bye :|
+Samantha Chandler I wish i could get the chance to see eminem i would give up my prized possesions for it, but he probably wont be doing anymore tours, and i'm probably not old enough to go see him only 14 eghh. whenever i feel down or annoyed i just listen to him over and over, he helped me so many times. he is such an insipration.
The best thing about Eminem, is that he's not afraid to show the real him. He sings exactly the same, unlike other singers where audio-tune is there way of fame. Eminem is a god, and I'm sure we can all agree on that :)
Back in the day when i had to let my cousin play ps2 with me, I would unplug his controller and convince him hes playing. I think they did the same with the girl singing
Before I listen to this song I was lonely, afraid and depressed but now that I hear it I am not anymore thank you Eminem you boost up my confidence level by ten percent
When I first listened to this song, I was driving and I stopped my car in the middle of highway and parked it in the corner just to listen this. Back in 2011
There's just something about this performance that get's me.... Him rapping with this song with the blonde hair just resonated with me because it's a representation of how far he's come. His musical journey and his spiritual journey. We first got introduced to Eminem with blonde hair back in 99 with him saying all these crazy things and now here he his. After all these years, still the same guy with the same blonde hair who's gone through so much and has come out on top. And I love how his face looks all rough because it shows how he's been through so much shit and is still standing and still here. That's what him performing this song at this moment means to me.
Ikr, back in the days he would sing "Hi my name is Slim Shady" with a kind of unexperienced vibe and a lot of energy around the stage, today he is rapping with the weight of the years of his career and he seems more focused on the message he's delivering while he's on stage. Em truly grew up, he used to inspire energy and insolence, now he oozes charisma.
Not afraid. It really touches you. It did me because I went done that same road and I owe my recovery and freedom to you Eminem! Love ya man! Bust rapper of all time
This performance gave me chills all over again. Ems music resonates with the soul & inspires me to keep persevering through hardship like Em has. He’s the greatest 🐐❤️🇬🇧

Escucho emimen desde que tengo memoria , hoy con 27 años puedo decir que fue uno de los primeros artista de rap internacional que no deje de escuchar nunca , bestia lirical sin duda alguna , al solo oir su voz y sus letras te llena el cuerpo de energia sin limites , INCREIBLE , ningun artista de rap hoy en dia llego a moverme tanto la cabeza .
@@Johkah I mean officially he left d12 in 2012, but he's been Ems hype man pretty consistently and I think he's a producer for shady records and worked with loads of artists. Nothing else to it really other than he's pretty close to em
He sounds different but perfect to the pitch. Noone can reproduce the studio voice in when performing live. If you hear 100% matching studio voice in a live performance , believe me it is mere lip sync
It takes talent to rap your life into words and make it a hit. I'm happy Dr Dre took that risk. God bless and thanks for the songs that has help millions get thru their own struggles.
I hadn’t heard this song in over ten years. It just gave me goosebumps all over again. I didn’t remember the ending. Geezus. I saw a clip of Elton taking about this performance and came to look it up. This is song is so scary. Gee. Eminem is just unbelievable.

i guess you know that english is not one language on the earth.
Хорошо сказано.
You're baby will love EMINEMMMMM♡♡ :D
Job Hakkenberg you're*
Make sure your grammar is correct before criticizing someone else dumb fuck :).
It is also the conviction and sincerity that he speaks his rap that makes a difference.
This song always lifts me up! It’s hard to have a fave Eminem song but this has to be it🤘
Just flawless. If only all artists are like this when they perform live.
This song is really a masterpiece ❤️❤️
Don't know what to say. The man is an artist! There's no rapper who could ever reach his level...
There's a few from the uk
Not afraid. It really touches you. It did me because I went done that same road and I owe my recovery and freedom to you Eminem! Love ya man! Bust rapper of all time
This performance gave me chills all over again. Ems music resonates with the soul & inspires me to keep persevering through hardship like Em has. He’s the greatest 🐐❤️🇬🇧

Саня Дадижа I lived the single CD in that one: ((
wow another copy and paste comment on every eminem video.
is that list supposed to be clever? seen that shit for literally years now
I'm not afraid (I'm not afraid)
To take a stand (to take a stand)
Everybody (everybody)
Come take my hand (come take my hand)
We'll walk this road together, through the storm
Whatever weather, cold or warm
Just letting you know that you're not alone
Holler if you feel like you've been down the same road (same road)
[Intro (during Chorus):]
Yeah, it's been a ride
I guess I had to, go to that place, to get to this one
Now some of you, might still be in that place
If you're trying to get out, just follow me
I'll get you there
You can try and read my lyrics off of this paper before I lay 'em
But you won't take the sting out these words before I say 'em
Cause ain't no way I'ma let you stop me from causing mayhem
When I say I'ma do something I do it,
I don't give a damn what you think,
I'm doing this for me, so fuck the world
Feed it beans, it's gassed up, if it thinks it's stopping me
I'ma be what I set out to be, without a doubt undoubtedly
And all those who look down on me I'm tearing down your balcony
No ifs, ands or buts, don't try to ask him why or how can he
From "Infinite" down to the last "Relapse" album
He's still shitting, whether he's on salary paid hourly
Until he bows out or he shits his bowels out of him
Whichever comes first, for better or worse
He's married to the game, like a fuck you for Christmas
His gift is a curse, forget the Earth, he's got the urge
To pull his dick from the dirt, and fuck the whole universe
[Chorus]
Okay quit playing with the scissors and shit, and cut the crap
I shouldn't have to rhyme these words in the rhythm for you to know it's a rap
You said you was king, you lied through your teeth, for that
Fuck your fillings, instead of getting crowned you're getting capped
And to the fans, I'll never let you down again, I'm back
I promise to never go back on that promise, in fact
Let's be honest, that last "Relapse" CD was ehhh
Perhaps I ran them accents into the ground
Relax, I ain't going back to that now
All I'm trying to say is get back, click-clack, blow
Cause I ain't playing around
It's a game called circle and I don't know how, I'm way too up to back down
But I think I'm still trying to figure this crap out
Thought I had it mapped out but I guess I didn't, this fucking black cloud
Still follows me around but it's time to exorcise these demons
These motherfuckers are doing jumping jacks now!
[Chorus]
And I just can't keep living this way
So starting today, I'm breaking out of this cage
I'm standing up, I'ma face my demons
I'm manning up, I'ma hold my ground
I've had enough, now I'm so fed up
Time to put my life back together right now! (now)
It was my decision to get clean, I did it for me
Admittedly, I probably did it subliminally
For you, so I could come back a brand new me you helped see me through
And don't even realize what you did, 'cause believe me you
I been through the ringer, but they could do little to the middle finger
I think I got a tear in my eye, I feel like the king of
My world, haters can make like bees with no stingers
And drop dead, no more beef lingers
No more drama from now on, I promise
To focus solely on handling my responsibilities as a father
So I solemnly swear to always treat this roof, like my daughters
And raise it, you couldn't lift a single shingle on it!
Cause the way I feel, I'm strong enough to go to the club
Or the corner pub, and lift the whole liquor counter up
Cause I'm raising the bar
I'd shoot for the moon but I'm too busy gazing at stars
I feel amazing and I'm...
[Chorus]
yeah it’s 2020 but no one can describe how legendary the song is
2022 and will forever be iconic
2025🎉👾🎉🎉🎉
2023
Rappers are divided as following : EMINEM and others.
The best words to describe him
Eminem, Shinoda and others
More like the ogs and others
Tupac, Biggie, Eminem and others
@@emekaokoh498 go to hell with pac and big eminem ' s skills are unmatchable in any field dont ever compare eminem to other rappers
Thank you BBC radio 1 this made my day better :3
Never regret my decision of idolizing You, Sir. Back then i was only 9 years old.
Ahhh! That means ur an adult now, sh*t imma be an adult soon
Oh no
That's awesome❤
I love the passion in this.
is it even possible that em is getting better and better at 40yrs old FUCKING CRAAZY #LEGEND
41 to be precise.
Yousaf H. Dar he didnt look like one though :D
and not to mention looking fucking better :D
lodz viloria pause at 1:20
Really 41? O_O fuckings gens
This is what I love
He sounds live like on his CDs
This is what rap and the instrumental sounds are really well mixed so beautiful
His voice changed since recovery, but it's sounds great
He changed his flow completely, or maybe hes just gotten old
I think he's just rapping in a more soft flow because of the lighter instrumental in the background
his voice changs in every album
Prolly cuz he quit drugs and got older
Sharp as in darren
Let's all take a moment to recognise the drummer, the keyboardist, and the guitarist. The drums were just sooooo crisp.
This song will never be boring
Em is the greatest painkiller of all !!! ❤
Remembering the words at his age - well done that man.
I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid (yeah)
To take a stand, it's been a ride
Everybody, I guess I had to
Go to that place
To get to this one
Now some of you
Might still be in that place
If you're tryin' to get out
Just follow me
I'll get you there
You can try and read my lyrics off of this paper before I lay 'em

This performance is so real. I would be really hard to differentiate with real song if only Eminem had sang but I still enjoy it. Live from India
Representing Nairobi, Kenya this song is amazing menh I like how Eminem is fast and those drumbeats
His presence is enough to go crazy about him ❤️✨
I LOVE HOW EM DOESN'T AUTO TUNE THAT MUCH and when performing live, he still and always sounds like GOD!!! #PERFECT
Best Show of Eminem i want more like this Show Go to take your Place on this World bee the strong man you wanted to bee.......
Someone tell home girl her mic ain't on
she has an man voice c:
lol you can hear her during the bridge, 2:56.
That is Eminem
she is finally turned mic on at 2:56)
Her mic is really low but you can just about hear it. Her mic is turned up around 2 mins or so
Good to see the old man alive and kicking.
Escucho emimen desde que tengo memoria , hoy con 27 años puedo decir que fue uno de los primeros artista de rap internacional que no deje de escuchar nunca , bestia lirical sin duda alguna , al solo oir su voz y sus letras te llena el cuerpo de energia sin limites , INCREIBLE , ningun artista de rap hoy en dia llego a moverme tanto la cabeza .
This sounds even better in live session🔥🔥💯
Love you Em! Been a fan since I was 14!!!
i'm crying. this song saved my life.
A voz do Eminem é incrível 👏🏽
let's appreciate the band ! wow
I'm very grateful just to know that I live in a world with people
talented as Eminem and another lot of singers.
These videos will shine forever.
Wow Kon is still with him, this is beautiful to see, after everything that happened between D12.
What happened? I don't know much about Eminem's collabs.
D12 is his groop :^)
Pircurlec Hertbye I figured that out a long time ago.
Oh haha soz
@@Johkah I mean officially he left d12 in 2012, but he's been Ems hype man pretty consistently and I think he's a producer for shady records and worked with loads of artists. Nothing else to it really other than he's pretty close to em
Still love this 2022!!!! Still the goat! What ever mood I’m in I go to Em
This just brings happiness to my soul
"I feel like the king of my world" you are babe, you are.
Damn Denaun is a real one regardless of the money, Man has stuck by him forever.
He has been with him since day one.. RESPECT!!
Damn right, people don't appreciate Mr. Porter for who he truly is, a talented rapper, skilled producer, and loyal friend.
Mad respect for Kon Artist.
jesus christ he sounds almost identical to his studio recording
Known as one of the best live performers ever. ;)
Vero no auto tune like others h a ha ha .. that's y i like em
steve smithson he sound so different
He sounds different but perfect to the pitch. Noone can reproduce the studio voice in when performing live. If you hear 100% matching studio voice in a live performance , believe me it is mere lip sync
Green day are also amazing live and sound incredible
It takes talent to rap your life into words and make it a hit. I'm happy Dr Dre took that risk. God bless and thanks for the songs that has help millions get thru their own struggles.
I hadn’t heard this song in over ten years. It just gave me goosebumps all over again. I didn’t remember the ending. Geezus. I saw a clip of Elton taking about this performance and came to look it up. This is song is so scary. Gee. Eminem is just unbelievable.
He sounds great live! 💛 my Em!
He's is the G.O.A.T!!👑 Rap God 🕇
Kelly Smith what is goat
@@shanemcdougall548 "Greatest Of All Time" Goat
Yeah. he is goat for sure.
"This performance contains the strongest possible language."
You haven't heard anything of em's yet😂😂😂
😂😂
Unbelievable!
Lol he should have performed Kim live here
It's BBC bro. Long live the Queen (!) 😀
This is soft for em😂
Not Afraid Lyrics
[Intro]
(I'm not afraid) Yeah
(To take a stand) It's been a ride
(Everybody) I guess I had to
(Come take my hand) Go to that place to get to this one
(We'll walk this road together, through the storm) Now some of you
(Whatever weather, cold or warm) Might still be in that place
(Just lettin' you know that you're not alone) If you're tryna get out
(Holla if you feel like you've been down the same road) Just follow me, I'll get you there
[Verse 1]
You can try and read my lyrics off of this paper before I lay 'em
But you won't take the sting out these words before I say 'em
'Cause ain't no way I'ma let you stop me from causin' mayhem
When I say I'ma do somethin', I do it
I don't give a damn what you think, I'm doin' this for me
So fuck the world, feed it beans, it's gassed up if it thinks it's stoppin' me
I'ma be what I set out to be, without a doubt, undoubtedly
And all those who look down on me, I'm tearin' down your balcony
No ifs, ands or buts, don't try to ask him why or how can he
From Infinite down to the last Relapse album
He's still shittin' whether he's on salary, paid hourly
Until he bows out or he shits his bowels out of him
Whichever comes first, for better or worse
He's married to the game
Like a "fuck you" for Christmas, his gift is a curse
Forget the Earth, he's got the urge to pull his dick from the dirt
And fuck the whole universe
Eladio Carrión 'Fé, Cojones y Paciencia'...
[Chorus]
I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid
To take a stand, to take a stand
Everybody, everybody
Come take my hand, come take my hand
We'll walk this road together, through the storm
Whatever weather, cold or warm
Just lettin' you know that you're not alone
Holla if you feel like you've been down the same road
[Verse 2]
Okay, quit playin' with the scissors and shit, and cut the crap
I shouldn't have to rhyme these words in a rhythm for you to know it's a wrap
You said you was king, you lied through your teeth
For that, fuck your feelings, instead of gettin' crowned, you're gettin' capped
And to the fans, I'll never let you down again, I'm back
I promise to never go back on that promise
In fact, let's be honest, that last Relapse CD was "ehh"
Perhaps I ran them accents into the ground
Relax, I ain't goin' back to that now
All I'm tryna say is get back, click-clack-blaow!
'Cause I ain't playin' around
There's a game called circle and I don't know how
I'm way too up to back down
But I think I'm still tryna figure this crap out
Thought I had it mapped out, but I guess I didn't
This fuckin' black cloud still follows me around
But it's time to exorcise these demons
These ma'fuckers are doin' jumpin' jacks now

I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid
To take a stand, to take a stand
Everybody, everybody
Come take my hand, come take my hand
We'll walk this road together, through the storm
Whatever weather, cold or warm
Just lettin' you know that you're not alone
Holla if you feel like you've been down the same road

And I just can't keep livin' this way
So startin' today
I'm breakin' out of this cage
I'm standin' up, I'ma face my demons

I still can't believe Watchmojo never put this song on his top 10
assassin genius who cares about WatchMojo
assassin genius you may understand after you read the critics' reviews.
BAMBI LAM I just saw the review and 4 me Not Afraid will always be in top 10
Nah its a good Song but it isnt his best not Even top 10
assassin genius listen to he's music from the late 90s and early 2000s and you'll realise he has better songs. Still a good song though
Eminem is THE BEST
That was BEAUTIFUL! I Love Eminem.
marshall mathers is such a talented artsist, like if you agree?
+Luke567 ignore if you disagree
+Luke567 Shut up
+Aaron Verizon ignore if you disagree

Luke567 fodase
I love this inspirational song. Too good.
Thereis no difference in you whether its recording or live...u r the best...❤️❤️❤️
The Most talented rapper and one of the most talented musicians ever born
Um verdadeiro hino! 👏🏼🇧🇷
The song that got me to clean up my act... If a song can save a life, this is the song
came here from Eminem's performance in oscar 2020
elisabeth steven me 2))
Same✌
Me too
Same to you
i dont wanna die without seeing em in the super bowl
Eminem helped me thru the darkest times of my life. Love that man
Doesn't surprise me Eminem you're a legend mate not many rappers can do what he can do the king
I LOVE THIS SONG SO F*CKING MUCH MY FAVOURITE SONG SINCE EVER!!
HE'S JUST PERFECT
¡¡¡¡¡RAP GOD!!!!!!
Thank you Em you really helped me a lot,, wn I was down and depressed, this is therapy to me
legendary song this song never be old
Sound techs haven't learned yet that vocal must be the LOUDEST FUCKING THING
Captain Random yea ^^ cant barely hear him, too bad. he killed it i tho
On all Eminem songs (album version) he makes sure that his voice is the loudest thing on the track. I think that's great!
going through an awful time ATM with my mental health and other problems , listening to eminem makes me feel like I'm not alone respect you so much man 🙏🙏 you give me tears in my eyes and chills down my back ❤️
This is the best I heard him sound on a live setting. Every songs he did that day had a great sound quality. I think the studio set helped
still listening in 2018, he is one of my inspiration who empowers my soul, as well as encourage me to love English
