      People used to be all about your job being everything - but thankfully the message of work/life balance is finally getting listened to. His daughters ain’t gonna praise his awesome album 20 years from now - they’re gonna remember instead that he was HOME, and PRESENT.

    He tries to balance his time and not overwork himself like he did when he was younger so he can have more time with his family. He's actually a great father and person. His music was really just a way for him to vent his anger, pain, and frustrations. He was blessed when he was introduced to Dr Dre but he didn't put it above his family. I'm glad I've always looked up to him when I was younger, I don't regret it at all, especially after watching him and his kids grow up. Great job Em. 🖖

It destroyed him but that's the reason he was untouchable back then.

    Went to the comments to be like “yea he did that for his kids, no doubt” and then I read someone say in the comments that “in the the rest of the interview, Akon says it was because of Em’s kids.” Makes perfect sense. Wakes up, takes them to school, eats lunch, probably has someone pick the kids up, home for dinner, bath time, bed time, wake up, breakfast with family, repeat. Eminem is a true family man and showed every rapper, fan, anyone he could, that he will always be a father first. People usually either become or avoid being like the parent they dislike or like the most. I’m glad he did the right thing and avoided being an absent father in his children’s lives.
