    Fun fact: Eminem recently opened a restaurant in Detroit called Mom's Spaghetti. They donated a ton of food to essential workers during the heyday of the pandemic.

    Less than 5 years into his 25 year career, and he won the Oscar with this for best original song in a film. He didn't think he was going to win, so he stayed home.

      Is it really that big of a deal that you thought it necessary to correct me even though we're talking about 2 different things?
      Between why he didn't go, and what he did the night of the Oscar's.
      I'm a old hip hop head & a huge Em fan, I know my history & the backstories.
      I'm fully aware, that's what he said he was doing the night of the Oscars.
      Not the reason for not going.
      Just take 15 seconds to critically think for yourself before ya get to typing & trying to correct people..
      It's not like last minute he had his outfit laid out & he said "ah, eff it, id rather finish this episode of Scooby Do with Hailey instead of going to the Oscar's...
      Ya kinda gotta let the Academy know in advance that you're going, schedule a flight etc..
      ..
      Nobody knows for sure, since he never said the exact reason but the 2 reasons I've heard, that make yhe most sense are.
      1. He didn't want to do a censored version of Lose Yourself
      2. He didnt think he was going to win & didnt want to sit there all night in a suit with Hollywood elites..
      Not exactly his scene.

    That “1, 3” is called syncopated rhythm .
    “Syncopation occurs when a rhythmic pattern that typically occurs on strong beats or strong parts of the beat occurs instead on weak beats or weak parts of the beat. Most pop/rock songs have a mixture of syncopated and “straight” rhythms.”

    EMINEM’s character was actually writing the song throughout the movie like the scene where he was writing on the bus you could hear the beat playing with the occasional word sprinkled in as he was piecing it together. Between writing, filming, and recording he was literally getting 2 hours of sleep a night. He helped write the script, he was the star of the movie, he was recording songs for the soundtrack, and he executive produced the soundtrack under his own label. The scenes where you see him with his headphones on writing music he actually was writing this song in real life. Because he was only getting 2 hours of sleep a night though this is when he started taking the sleep medication he became addicted to. This song was the first ever time a rap song has won an Emmy. This song came out in 2002, but in 2015 he found an unreleased version of the song he thought he lost that is quite a bit different from this one with a more bare bones instrumental. He released it on an album called Shady XV which stands for Shady 15 since it was the 15th anniversary of the founding of his record label. Shady XV was a collection of greatest hits from all the artists on his label over that 15 year span and a bonus CD full of new songs from everyone on his label that just didn’t quite fit the theme of a full album. The final track on that CD is pretty interesting. It’s called Twisted and it’s EMINEM featuring Yelawolf and Skylar Grey. You haven’t heard either one of them yet I don’t think, but Yelawolf is kind of like a southern country style rapper and Skylar Grey is a Pop artist and model EMINEM took under his wing. She does a lot of hooks for him, he executive produced two of her albums and featured on some of her songs and she is actually also a ghostwriter and has written songs for Rihanna, Beyoncé, etc. she even wrote the Love the Way You Lie hook Rihanna sang for EMINEM.

    Bro.. this song blew people away who were heavy into the next lyricist.
    “Pied piper, ampli-fied by tha”
    “ I can’t, my nine to, five-a”
    “ provide, the right type-a”
    Nobody was hitting those rhyme schemes or bending the word to fit the timing correctly. He manipulates the syllable to change the word, but keeps the word. Rhyming single syllables with compounds, or breaking a compound syllable in to 2 singles while flowing into a A,B pattern.. it was the illest shit you hear back then, and he’s still lyrically the most impressive today.

    Fact being this is one of those songs that goes very well with the time when you feel you knocked down, or having a hard time, and when you listen to this, you pretty much feel that you got a long way to go, and you can get it all. Eminem, irrespective of the type of song he drops, be it motivational/ or just him narrating his own story, the wordplay he goes with, I think there's been no one at present, who can match/ reach his level.

    14:14 "The Pied Piper" is a pop song written by the duo The Changin' Times consisting of Steve Duboff and Artie Kornfeld, who first recorded it in 1965, their version reached #87 on the Billboard Hot 100. However, when British pop singer Crispian St. Peters recorded it he scored a major hit with the single during the summer of 1966 when it went to #4 in the United States, #5 in the United Kingdom, and #1 in Canada.
    The song's title came from the German folklore fairy tale, whose titular character is The Pied Piper of Hamelin.

    I had one last chance and I ate a massive piece of humble pie and showed up to my professor's office for help 2 hours before class start.
    That morning I learned I had a learning disorder that my prof called a "gift." He said in his entire 20+ year career as a teacher, he knew only 5 others who were like me. One went to med school. The others became managers and supervisors.
    I graduated with honours!!! Doctors I worked with encouraged me to consider med school. I opted to be a supervisor/manager.

    This is easily my favorite Eminem song. Did you know he won an Oscar for this song. This song got me through 3 months of studying for the Bar Exam! I needed that extra motivation. You have to do “97 Bonnie and Clyde from Em. Good new there are no swears but probably the darkest. Just trust me.

    This song was the first Rap song to ever win an Oscar! This is the beginning when you see him getting ready for his first rap battle & he got sick. "Moms Spaghetti"! lol He opened a restaurant here in Detroit called "Moms Spaghetti"! lol Standing up in front of people like that...it's a lot of pressure! Doesn't help when the crowd starts screaming "Choke"!!! The way he's uses his voice as a percussion instrument....is unbelievable! I'm so glad you watched this movie! He had never acted before and he wrote all the lyrics for everyone.... for the battles....as well as his own lyrics for the soundtrack!!! The experience was exhausting for him! It just shows how hard he drives himself to get things done!!! He has been approached several times to do movies but rap is what he loves! His step dad was much worse in reality! Sad to say 😥 Make sure you called ahead and make an appointment for your tattoos! Sometimes these guys are booked months in advance! His life was similar to the movie but in reality much worse!!! This song...No one had ever come out with anything like this before! He blew everyone away!

    I have only watched 4 of your videos at this time and I am attracted to your sensitivity to the songs that you played by eminem (when I'm gone, toy soldiers, not afraid, and lose yourself). Eminem is my absolute favorite artist of ALL TIME as I can relate to so much of his life it isn't funny. I even grew up near the same district as Eminem and I as a white girl definitely know the battles and hardships that a dysfunctional family and a minority that eminem went through. I know this video is probably quite old and you've surely learned much more about eminem from the time of this post. By no means am I being disrespectful to you when I say you have much to learn about eminem if you continue to research, watch, listen, and read about his songs and life. I'm sure by now you know that 8 mile is a real place in Detroit and his movie and life are based on that neighborhood. Every post you have done so far has made me cry as I love those songs myself and have followed eminem since he broke out in 2000 (that's when I became aware of him) as I was mostly against listening to hip hop/ rap myself and I also being a Christian. It goes strongly against the flow of the church and like eminem, I just don't care what the church thinks about eminem or other unapproved music. Keep up the good work.

I know that feeling as I am a Christian myself. As em would say, I just don't give a fuck cuz I am whatever you say I am. This man is too gifted and honest for me to be bias.

    I discovered Eminem back in '98, in my mid to late 20's. I got so much flack for listening to him! And I listened to him daily for years! Marshall Mathers is a poet, plain and simple! He transcribes his perceptions, emotions, insight, knowledge, and experience into absolutely brilliant rhyme schemes and hooks (chorus). He has depth, but at the same time can be a comedian - he can also be monster. He can play any character in any movie, with using just his words. G.O.A.T.

    Yes you are correct 8 mile is a real place. Basically runs straight through the roughest part of Detroit. Detroit roads are set up like a grid so for every mile road away from 8 mile,9 mile 10 mile 11 mile etc, you get farther away from downtown. Also, like many major cities of course there are rough areas but Detroit is full of some of the best restaurants, shops, businesses, entrepreneurs, vinyl record production, sports history, automobile manufacturing, and so much more. I ❤️ this city!!!

  • @biancacolcea3706

    Actually, in the last battle Em really took everyone by surprise and the reactions were genuine because he hadn't rehearsed that part before, he wanted it to be real. So that guy really heard it right then for the first time. And Em was writing his battle bits during breaks on set, plus, when they rehearsed Em would just mimic it because he wanted to save his voice for the actual take. There is bonus footage on the dvd but you can find it online as well, where the rapper in him can't take it anymore and does actual little rap battles with people from the crowd just for the fun of it:)

      And those lyrics about him going to good school and having good parents is basically about Mackie's real life, so his reaction in the movie is kind of genuine because he didn't expect Em to actually diss his real life situation. Lmao.

I know Em would feel even more joy. Much love.

    I remember having to read Ann Frank's Diary in the 7th grade and only made it through because of Em. My progress in English was so fast that even my grandmother took an interest in Em and we went to see 8 mile together in the theaters on the second day it was released, she didnt get the rap battles but she did love the movie and said he was an incredible actor. She's still alive and well and that day is still a great memory to her 😁 and to me obviously.

You should do a reaction to the Scrap version of lose yourself (also known as the demo version) It’s the same beat with a different message. Here is some background, Eminem had no idea he made the demo version. He was… heavily under the influence when he wrote it. So he didn’t realize he had a demo to the song about a year later. I’ll leave at that, keep up the good work.

    Actual 8 mile road…so…Detroit is a wheel and spoke configuration; i.e., the north and south roads meet together downtown in the center and then get further and further apart the greater the distance from downtown you get. The east and west roads that run parallel provide the counterbalance to that. The mile roads run east and west. There is a 5 mile on the west side. But it’s usually considered to start at 6 mile, which is also called McNichols. It goes all the way up to 33 or 34 mile road out by Romeo (where kid rock is actually from). The Detroit city limits stop/start at 8 mile road (anything north is considered the suburbs or Metro Detroit), which is 20 miles long and goes from Lake St Clair all the way out to god knows where-Milford maybe? And turns into M-102. It is a real road and the dividing line is real. Just like Woodward is generally accepted as the north/south line that divides east and west Detroit. I’ve lived on 7 mile, 9 mile, 10 mile and all the way up to 23 mile. But once you know the configuration, it’s very easy to navigate the city. But everyone learns really young about 8 mile.
    He grew up around 8 mile and Hoover. Where he always talks about 7 mile and Runyon, Runyon is just to the west of Hoover. He used to live on Dresden street, which is a few blocks east of Runyon. Both are by Osborne high school, where Proof went (and the 16 year anniversary of his death is a week from today).

    This has always been one of my favs by Em. 8 mile is real. It's the major East/West Rd bisecting Woodward Ave, the main N/S thruway in SE Michigan. There are 37 "mile" roads. But, not all of them are called "mile" roads. I live on 6 mile, also known as McNichols for the original president of the University of Detroit, which is located on 6 mile.
    All that said, Em is a lyrical genius. No question. Shortly after 8 Mile, he did a Superbowl commercial for Chrysler that used the guitar riff from this song! It was pretty sweet.

He's a very relatable rapper and he's been shooting up recently in his views and popularity. I've enjoyed his music for a long time as I can relate to just about every single song he makes. He's a lot more intense than Em is talking about very sensitive subjects and he puts so much feeling into his music. His songs "She Cheated Twice" and "Love Hurts" are his more relatable ones and I'd love to see you react to those and take in his lyrics.

    You miss his reference to Stephen King's Salem's Lot.
    Yes 8 Mile is an actual street, Eminem described it as the border between the rich and the poor people, in that case sadly it means between the white and the colored people. And he obvious don't live on the rich side.
    On a scale from 1-10 this song is a 11. It's one of his best! 8 Mile is a 10, and one of the few movies I watched more then once in cinema.
