A little about me and this channel:
My name is James Aubrey IV and I just recently graduated college from Iowa State University. After college I decided to take a leap of faith. So I moved to San Diego California to pursue my passion for videography/ UA-cam. Overall I'm a pretty chill person, outside of UA-cam I like to longboard, dance, play video games, lift weights and hangout with my friends. I know that success on UA-cam won't happen overnight but I'm willing to stay patient and put in the work to try to prefect my craft daily. This UA-cam channel will be centered around my life after college. You will be able to see all of the ups and downs on my journey to success. So if you like the content make sure you subscribe so you can be apart of the Rome Life Family. (Let's build our own personal Rome's together.)
What is the Rome Life ? And What does it mean to be apart of it?
Rome Life is something I started during my Sophomore year of high school (one of the worst times in my life) it started off as me documenting my journey to recovery from my shoulder surgery but eventually it turned into a platform that I could use to encourage myself as well as others to chase our dreams.
Rome Life isn't just a saying it's a way of life and for the people who want to be apart of it have to realize that. Rome wasn't built in a day it took a lot of handwork time and most importantly patience. So you can't expect your dreams to be any different
This is a reaction video used to educated and give my feedback on the song and artist

In this video Proof, who was Em's best friend, is portraying one of their friends, Bugz, who was a rapper who got killed. Two years later Proof is shot and killed. Quite a tragic situation. Em was really depressed after that and reached extremely low points such as overdosing.
Chills everytimw I think of this
Going through changes would be a good follow up to get the whole picture.Let alone one of his best songs. But the depth of his discography is so crazy it feels almost wrong to just mention one song
Facts @moonlight Kayla
@Michael kiely mr. Porter aka kon artis was an original member of d12. After bugz died, swifty joined. And he was indeed portraying bugz, that's why bugz name is on the mural at the end.
What's worse is a lot of people were saying claiming that Proof's death was a result of this video saying that he might as well put the hit on him since this was pretty much predicting the future.
Dont think Em has ever spoken negatively on Dre in his life. He was saying that Suge was talking down on Dre and Em wasn't getting involved in their beef because Dre told him to stay out of it.
Unless you count “dre’s dead you idiots, he’s locked in my basement.” Thats literally the freaking closest thing you could ever pick to em dissing Dre.
*obviously not. That was said sarcastically
@Michael kiely what about guilty conscience in third verse, last story :D haha
@@LED816 you mean ironically. Sarcsasm is used with intention to harm.
Two nice examples... Em is good own man and he is crazy... But don't he'll ever truly disrespect Dre... Just too much respect both ways and they both way past their volatile days...
@@melodyvalentine8779 How in the fuck you gonna tell this man not to be violent?
'Cause he don't need to go the same route that I went 😂 Damn, that was the song of my childhood even though I didn't understand half of the song at the time due to my low knowledge of English, but I knew it was banger. I didn't know what he was saying, but I could swore he wasn't lying 🤣
Dre and Em never had beef. Dre wanted him to stay out of beef he had with someone else.
Bleeped out?
You talking about the he blank spot at 2:01?
It wasn’t my intentions,
my intentions were good,
I went thru my whole career,
Without ever mentionin “🆂🆄🅶🅴”
Damn I been listening to this song for a while and I always thought that bar sounded short. I thought he said “mentioning it” but Suge fits perfectly.
Why would he say he never mentioned Suge Knight?
@@timesfly1081 because Dre told him not too thats what that whole verse was about. Dre said dont get involved with it because the guys bad news
@@charg1nmalaz0r51 yeah I know that. I meant what did Suge have to do with that situation? Suge had his fingers all over the rap game huh?
@@timesfly1081 i cant remember the specifics i know suge was part of another label that i think dre used to belong to and they were beefing. I think suge went to prison for murder at some point. It was just another example of a beef that could have gone off the rails
@@charg1nmalaz0r51 The Dre & Suge beef goes back to the 90's because when Dre was with Death Row Records, Suge claims he has a life management deal with Dre, which entitled him to 30% of Dre’s earnings. Suge also claimed that Dre tried to have him killed.
Quick recap…Dre is his mentor, the name that bleeps out is suge knight. That was Dre’s battle and he told Eminem to stay out of it. Eminem was in a war with Ja Rule because he mentioned Eminem’s daughter in a song. Then he was at war with Benzino who was high up at the Source Magazine and was basically giving Eminem and everyone affiliated with him bad reviews in the magazine, which was the main source of hip hop news at the time. Everything kept escalating…in the video, his best friend and great Detroit rapper Proof played the person who passed away in the video. Everyone is pretty sure he was playing another member of Eminem’s group named Bugz who passed after exchanging gunfire (and then I think he got hit by a car) a few years before this video came out. Then Proof who was the one with the gunshot in this video died of a gunshot wound just a few years later. Incredibly sad and eerie foreshadowing 😢
This pretty much sums it up
Exactly
this is pretty much what happened in short form
he's talking about how Ja Rule and Benzino talk about his daughter in their songs he was going back and forth with them which got proof killed R.I.P Proof and 50cent joined in because jarule dissed him and dre and Eminem told him not to
Em wasn't down talking Dre. The guy they're beefing with was haha
Yeah I thought that was pretty clear haha thanks for pointing that out for him
Eminem meant suge at this.
He always gets the disses completely wrong, I don't get it.
@@rainofkhandaq6678 some of the problem is him listening to heavily edited versions, so much is cut out that some parts are hard to understand if you've never heard it before so you know what's missing lol
Haha
I'll say this. Em blew around 96-99. I remember because I remember where I was living and my age. Back then there was no cancel culture. Em was also making a name for himself by being a over the top comical rapper because he knew as a white rapper he had to stand out and be original. Even with all his remarks on sexuality he had Elton perform the chorus of Stan during an awards show to show people he was just talking ish and didn't actually feel the way he was saying he felt. Its one thing to listen to Ems catalog of music out of order compared to hearing it in order as it was released. The release date combined with the topic in the song is a big part in not only understanding what he was dealing with as a white rapper making his mark but also dealing with an up and coming cancel culture. The government didn't care when black artists made rap songs that could damage black neighborhoods. When Em blew up he was reaching "White America" hence the song. He was pointing out the hypocrisy in government to try and censor his music because white kids were listening to it while ignoring black rappers music because it didn't affect white communities. Ems impact on rap and America is far deeper then people that didn't come up during his rise understand. This dude was legitimately fighting multiple battles from every direction.
Facts. I remember it was hard keeping up all the beefs towards him
Well said 👏
Dre and Em have always been good. Dre just told him to stay out of a beef involving other people. It wasn't his business. That's what he was saying. Pretty sure it was about Suge Knight talking shit about Dre.
This song has always grabbed me. I really love how Em was able to get permission to use Martika's Toy Soldier in this because it really added to it and made it chilling.
I didn't know it was a song! Thanks!
I’ve stated it before. The reason Stans love Em is because he shows you his truth. He’s an open book. He tells you all he’s been through and what he has experienced. We can all relate to his story.
The song is a reflection how rap beefs can lead to someone's death.
This was around the time 50 x Ja beef was on its pineacle and Em wanted to help 50 cent but Dre just told him to not involve in others people beef (until Ja Rule decided to insult Em's Daughter and Em clapped back)
The dead person on the video is Proof member of D12 who was playing as Bugz a old D12 member that had died around 1997/99
Proof the guy on the gurney shot in the video died exact same way 2 years later
You need to hear/see Eminem and Dr. Dre “I need a doctor” its incredible🙌
to answer your first question, Eminem never thought he was above dre he always consider Dre as Batman and himself as Robin, he's sidekick. At some point in his soung he said ''It wasn't my intentions, my intentions were good
, I went through my whole career without ever mentionin (BLANK) '' he was talking about Suge Knight and the sound is blanked cuz dre told him to don't jump on that beef cuz it wasn't his beef so he never mentioned Suge and he just had to watch the beef from the side line.
and the person who died in this video is Bugz, a D12 Member but proof is playing his role, the none funny part is that proof died 2 years later and almost the same way. Eminem can not even listen to this song cuz he thinks he provoked proof's death
If I may I just want to make it clear/known that the man portraying the death of a friend is Em's now deceased best friend Deshaun aka Proof. In this video he plays the role of another friend of theirs, Bugz, who was shot and killed. Eerily enough, Proof met the same fate just a couple years after this video was released. RIP.
Love watching how much you appreciate Eminem, I have loved hip since i was 9, Im now now 38. When Eminem came out, although I already loved hip Hop I saw someone like me and thats why I love him. So I get it why black people would like more representation across all media, someone they can look upto. The reason why black Panther was 1 a great fil (RIP Chadwick) 2 a film made by and for black people and it was done so well. EM is the white panther in the hip hop world.
He’s talking about Suge Knight and the Death Row Records drama. Dre left Death Row because of the people Suge was involved with and the violence. Suge had a lot to say about Dre, but Dre wanted it ignored and didn’t respond.
You’re making me relive my childhood... I love it.
Nothing happened with em and Dre, Dre was being slagged off and em wanted to step him but Dre told him to keep out, it goes back to the East Coast West Coast beef, death of Tupac, MC Run Biggy
Eminem made this song to stop beefs that they had at that time
I’m so glad I’m threw this Eminem journey with you! I’m a Stan ,,and he wasn’t talking. About Dre like that he was emphasizing what others where saying.. anyways love your reactions man never stop!
Dre was beefing was Suge Knight. "I went through my whole career without ever mentioning....(Suge)" Even though he was down-talking Dre (who Eminem respected so much) he just gritted his teeth cause Dre told him to stay out.
Em always go deep on his songs broo ! Always had a message on it !! A taking smoke for his people !! RESPECT ! 50 said it himself ‘ that’s his brother for life
EM IS A LIVING LEGEND!!
Proof died exact same way two years to the day the song was made or released.
According to google : It begins at the hospital where Eminem and other rappers are watching, in despair, the doctors trying to save D12 member Bugz (played by fellow D12 member Proof), who was killed in 1999.
But the story gets much darker as Proof was killed not long after the video was shot . There have been stories about Eminem saying he wished he never has made this video as it is like a premonition of Proof's death.
RIP Proof & Bugz
RIP BIg L, Biggie & Tupac
@Michael kiely I was talking about the video ,not the lyrics
We are both right
@Michael kiely ua-cam.com/video/g5wMenBBGKY/v-deo.html
@Michael kiely But it did have with the video and this isn't just my opinion but every Eminem related fansite (such as ETLifestyle) saying so.
Trust me ,if those guys say it is so then it is .
yes ,now if it was only a few sites claiming that I would have given you the benefit of the doubt.
But it's stated like that everywhere. Wiki ,Quora (and those people only mention it's another member of d-12),fansites ,literally everyone saying the same thing. So there has to be some truth in it because else some Stan would have shown up with PROOF. But you cannot show me any proof that it isn't Bugz being portraied in the video and I don't trust you.
Yeah Dre never had beef with Em....Dre was helping him out and the even more messed up part of this whole thing is D12 member Proof was the guy(Em's old friend, Bugz and D12 member) in the hospital bed, a year later he died in real life from getting shot.....This whole song is just...Wow
Please react to the song that is sampled in this song. Toy Soldiers by Martika
Yes! Great song.
Martika Toy Soldiers 1987. cool song about drug addiction.
You should check out the original song by Martika "Toy Soldiers" that Em pulled the sample from. It's a great 80's tune with a cute girl and a seriously genius melody. Cheers!
Em has said in interviews that he was a little disappointed that people didn’t recognize that he said a word each time the drum hit in this song.
50 and Em are brothers for real they love each other , I feel the same James this man is unbelievable , he's amazing the Goat I love 50 too👍☘️👍
Also, this song is a great example of why Em is the 🐐.
Ugh this song gives me chills every time.
The song playing is Toy Soldiers by Martiki. 1989 or 90.
Eminem is simply a real Master. Looove this song, one of my top 10 Em's favorites for sure. Great reaction :-))))
Em is not just a rapper, he tells stories through his rap. It isn't just random words that rhyme, it all comes together in such a poetic way. I can't get enough.
Thats treach from naughty by nature. Funny because hes playin the role of his enemy but Em actually idolizes him. Dope reaction my guy!!
Rest in Peace Big Proof!!!
Even the worlds best singer ever is a Eminem fan. There are a lof of legendary rappers. But none are as talented as Eminem. His lyrics are unmatched. But he can do so much more. The very talented Nox Hill explains a lot of Eminem, but even the best reactors miss things in M's songs because he is on a other level.
One thing about this track I didn't learn until last year from another commenter is that all of Em's lyrics hit on each rum note. Listen again and you will hear it. Absolutely crazy writing and delivery.
Him are like brothers they love each other him and 50 best friends brothers
The original song by "Martika" is 🔥 as well. "Not gonna let someone else's coffin rest on my conscience"
That was the time rap-beefs got people killed. Being ball-sey enough to go lyrically after someone who is associated with the Underworld was what gave you the title of a Rap God, and Eminem and Tupac deservingly earned it.
You need to watch a recap of Eminem’s beefs in 2002-2005. This song is about all of those. It got pretty wild.
I hit subscribe yesterday, glad I did! Of all the reaction videos I've seen, I like yours the best! Keep it up!
The person shot (Em's best friend Proof from D12) in this video is ironic and tragic at the same time. It almost predicts Proof's death
1995-2005 was something else. Growing up then gives you a perspective that gives goosebumps.
Listen to Castle and Arose back to back in that order. That's another really deep song. You'll appreciate them. Also Believe is a great song. Guts over fear. We're going nowhere fast. These demons
@Michael kiely wtf is a citchy song? That's a pretty broad array of songs. Castle and Arose are very deep. Believe is motivational. Same with guts over fear. Goin nowhere I'd more political. These demons are about his struggle.... So please ... Explain what you mean about citchy songs.
@Michael kiely lmao all good. I was working when I saw it and I was like what the f***
I've been following you for a while. Love what you do and your passion for it. Keep it up bruh.
This song is really a sample from martika- toy soldiers. Em can make a song out of any beat.
The Toy Soldiers was sung in the 80s by Makita!
This song still makes me cry
Man, it was fucking crazy watching this in middle school just for proof to be gone by my freshman year of high school. RIP
“Toy Soldiers” was a hit in the 90’s on its own too, which is the beat & female voice you hear sampled in this song.
Proof eminem's best friend he made this song for him
This song was about the ja and 50 beef. Dre said stay out and em did until ja dropped his daughters name on a track. This was crazy when it all first popped off.
I just hope now that you react to Martika - Toy Soldiers. I think you will understand why Eminem was inspired to use it for this song.
The other thing to keep in mind this was the 90s and early 00s these rappers were street dudes beef turned violent these days most of them aren't about the life beef used to be about more than the songs
First time hearing this. Really enjoyed the song & the reaction. ❤️
This song mentions beef about: Ja Rule, Irv Gottie, The Source, Ray Benzino, Suge Knight, Murder Inc. And the beef that happened between them and 50, Em, Dre, and Shady/Aftermath crew. This was the 2nd biggest and deadliest rap beef in history, period (next to The West vs. East rap war in the 90s)
Thank you!!!! Finally getting to some of the heavy hitters in his catalog
I'm glad your enjoying eminem ❤🙌💙 he's deep asf 🔥🔥🔥😎😎😎💯💯💯💯💯💯
Rome Life Reactions the person that was in the hospital supposed to portray bugz a member of d12 Eminem’s group. The person portray bugz is proof a rapper from Eminem group d12. He also died almost 2 years after the released of this song in 2006. He was talking about benzino and ja rule and suge knight and beefing with them.
The sample is from Martika early 90s...toy soldiers, of course
“That wasn’t my intention my intentions was good, I went through my whole career without mentionin suge” em is talking about the beef that Dre had with suge knight for leaving death row records and starting aftermath he’s not talking bad about Dre. “ now I’m talking to man who literally saved my life(Dre) like fuck I understand this is business and this just ain’t none of my business” meaning Dre was trying to keep em out of his beef with suge
RIP Proof!!
Eminem's hype-man proof is the one who died, he plays himself in the video. (Which is eerie)
He does not play himself. He's playing the role of their other homie Bugz who was shot and killed. The eerie part is that Proof unexpectedly met the same fate *just a couple years later.
@@hoopwizardws bugz died five years before this video came out, and it had nothing to do with Eminem's beef.
Gotta check out Eminem's Square Dance. One of his very best
Em was talking about suge knight talking down to doctor Dre...Em has always held Dre up on a pedestal and credits Dre for saving Em’s life.
No and it never feels like drai's beneath him he always gives gray his props he loves Dre
I love seeing people discovering Em's music and becoming fan.
You should listen to "Going Through Changes" to find out about Proof dying and the impact it had on Em.
Man this beef was legendary at that time it was like the biggest event, everybody talked and everybody was Involved in it. The beef between Benzino and MM, and that dude Benzino was down talking Dre, and Em's daughter
The name he said he went his career without mentioning was “Suge” if u didnt get that line…
It's really cool that you can learn the history. The comments explain it all❤👊.
F**k I feel broken for Em. Proof played a part in this music video and little did any of them know he would go out this way only a couple of years later. I couldn’t imagine how Em would have felt and still fills regarding this clip. 😣
your so right
Loved this video.❤️
Your review on this made me subscribe!!!!!!!! NO WORDS EXCEPT HOW AWESOME YOU ARE & your review and thanks for all you said I know he (Em) reads all the reactions!!!!!!!!!! Said so in interviews with Crook!!!!!! And somewhere else and he’s REALLY going to appreciate just as we do your review!!!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥💕💕💕💕💕🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
"I went through my whole career without ever mentioning Suge"
Now we subscribe :)...great reaction broo
Awesome jam
Yes 50 cent did a tune and video called funeral music - a great diss
He says:
_it wasn't my intention, my intentions were good_
_I went through my whole career without ever mentioning Suge_
_and that was just out of respect, and not running my mouth_
_Talking about something that I knew nothing about_
_Plus Dre had told me stay out. It just wasn't my beef_
_So I did. I just fell back watched and gritted my teeth_
_while he all over TV, down talking a man that literally saved my life..._
He's just saying how even though Suge and Dre had that bad blood. He never got involved in it. Because Dre told him not.
The part about someone getting killed just refers to all the threats and shit that happened during his beefs with Ja Rule and Benzino and all the people who have died in the past.
Plus a member of D12, Bugz was killed and I've heard people say that it refers to that. But bugz was killed in 1999. Like 5 years before this song came out.
I also heard people say Proof is kinda representing Bugz in the video though. But Bugz got shot and then ran over after an argument in a park.
I think proof is just playing a potential member of Em's close friends who could die in the future if the beefing doesn't calm down.
I always thought Eminem had potential to send a message, but never paid attention.........UNTIL I HEARD THIS. I admit that I am NOT a Rap or “Gangsta” fan, but this song stopped me in my tracks! Hard hitting, direct, honest and with raw emotion. You feel the pain & anger in the song. The children’s chorus is the Icing on the cake. Spot On Baby
This was em when he seemed to be peaceful but let you know not to mess with him or his crew em now holds back no bullets sprays any and everyone that want it
I love watching your journey. I'm 37. I grew up on this. Nas to me is the goat. Em is top 3
I need a doctor by em explains a lot.
Remember 18 years ago!!!
Chilling and so sad that loves are lost over music.
Yea. Benzino, founder of The Source, a huge magazine publication surrounding hip hop. He was trashing Dre, and Ja Rule did the same, saying he was washed up. 50 was discovered by, saved by Em, the same way Eminem was by Dre. "Em, you know you my favorite white boy. I owe you for this..." - 50.Patiently Waiting. There was also beef with a group out of Boston, Benzinos: Made Men. Em in this song was basically saying all this beef he wanted squashed before things went down like Tupac and Biggie.
Ah...young grasshopper...you are now starting to get the full picture of the LEGENDARY pen ..Em POSSESES
Prime Eminem is NOW
50 Cent--- TROLL SAVAGE🤣🤣🤣🤣
i know a guy that has killed and he doesnt want to talk about it all he wants now is to be happy so every time i see him i got a joke in the chamber and yes i look up jokes i dont want any ones day sad i hope yall make a friend happy negitivity is to common lets make every one smile
When somebody comes with that talk sh** of best rappers Goats etc, this is one of the songs I recomend people to watch. Another level, game changer, amazjng.
Portugal here for the Goat Eminem always since day one and forever. Thanks for reacting. Salutes.
Legendary song.
If beats were all, techno would be nr. 1 trend. Lol.
Eminem help makinh hip hop nr. 1 genre.
The other one ppl never talk about is “No Apologies”. Thats easily my favorite Eminem song of all time. None of his others songs comes close imo.
The person who died was bugz one of eminem's friend...proof was playing him in this video , and like 2 years after he got shot just like he did in this video and died , is crazy how this video predicted his death man
Dre and Eminem have never had beef or problems
Bro em fighting them battles and fighting addiction he went through so much! can you react to arose from Eminem that's another song that you get to see his struggle!
He's referring to Suge Knight going after Dre and told Eminem to stand back and to not get involved.. He's never thought that Dre was beneath him
