This song didn't really do much for me when I was 14 and it dropped. Half a life later, having two kids, this just hits way way different. Now his storytelling songs about Hailie (and his other daughters) are some of the best ones imo.
This song, Mockingbird, Beautiful, and Going Through Changes are 4 of the greatest Em songs, ever, that aren't bar heavy, but have a lot of substance. They all hit different in my heart, and have helped me through so much.
Em is, or perhaps was, a very tortured soul. No question about it. You can always tell exactly what point in his life he was at when you listen to any of his music. It truly is a library of personal pains, failures and successes. There are lyricists, and then there are wordsmiths... Eminem is top of his class in wordsmithery. And we are here for it. Nice work fellas, and I like the way it hits home, for both of you. Don’t forget about the right now while you’re out there grinding. #SpreadLove #huglife
I think this is the comment that got their attention to react to that song. They said on that reaction that they saw a comment that got 60 likes for this song suggestion
Lem does that a lot. He says facts and that’s that. But he’s more alert sometimes than just agreeing. You’ll get an occasional punch. Lem get you some rest. It’s important. Take good care. All love fr.
I think Bad Guy is my favorite Em storytelling track. The final verse acknowledges the sequel-bait appearance of the track and the album, and then proceeds to flip perspective by offering a harsh critique of Em's own career mired in controversy and antagonism. I don't think you can listen to Bad Guy and think that Eminem isn't self-aware regarding his personas, his reputation, or the expectations he carries from fans, the media, rap's inner circles, and himself. I wouldn't say that he exposes his vulnerabilities so much as he aggressively dissects his personal and professional shortcomings. There's a brutal honesty with that track that gets completely overlooked just because it starts as a continuation to Stan. Stan is something wholly different and obviously great in its own right, but for me Bad Guy isn't so much about hypothetical situations as much as the weight of reality as a controversial artist, industry staple, and a father, husband, and son that has exposed their personal life to great success and great conflict, pain, and loss. Of all of Em's song, Bad Guy to me is the most interesting. It's the self-hate of it regardless of the achievements. It weighs more than Stan imo.
Y'all going to be someone on top someday brothers. Cause the way you get in this bar break downning character my god bruh y'all full of passion lovee ya take care of yourself thanks for letting us know all the rappers work 🙏❤️
I see you struggling Lem! Much respect for powering through to finish the video. So easy to give up sometimes. Seeing you face that adversity and not give in to temporary gratification just gave me extra fuel to keep on grinding.
This hits home all the time. Love & respect to Eminem. I was in my senior year when I heard this, I thank him for feeding us the good music in our teenage years. I'd rank this #2. Mockingbird #1
U know how heavy this song was, emotionally; that reacting to it forces you to reflect on your own life and how it's affecting your relationship with those closest to u
This song was released around the time when we thought eminem was retiring and it was taken as a goodbye song. I always looked at it as a nice song for if you pass away. I'm looking down on you smiling, I don't feel no pain so don't feel no pain smile back.
I feel like this was definitely a farewell too his fans also cause this was released in Curtain call and he was leaving the game to focus on himself and family
D12 - My Band. Em and the rest of D12 tell a fake, hilarious story of how they are a boy band and Em is the lead singer! Hilarious music video too! You two should check it out.
This song was him saying goodbye to slim shady. After this dropped he hadn't been slim shady for over a decade. Every once in a while he would bring him out but until Kamikaze slim shady was rarely seen music wise
He has like a 6 year old daughter so the song was hitting him extremely hard. That wasn't sleep... that was a full grown dude holding his tears for almost 20 minutes.
Crazy how this song gives me goosebumpd and make me tear up to this day, when it's been one of my absolute favorites for as long as I can remember. This one is hard to top for me... Damn. Crazy. Love you guys!
This hit hard for me when it came out especially because I thought he was talking to his fans a bit too since he took a break after this was released. I think I was like 12 at the time wasn't sure if he was coming back ;p
EM is genius btw, I wonder what Hailey thinks about this song now when she listens to it, she probably would forgive and understand her dad a lot. GENIUS actually leaving this time capsule for her.
When I first heard this song I felt bad because I thought he was walking away from the game but at the same time I felt good that he was doing it for his baby girl.
Would love to see a reaction to Murder,Murder - Eminem Best story telling done by Em Straight out of slim shady ep! Soo underrated and unknown . I probably commented this a 100 times sorry lol.
Yeah, it's my life My own words, I guess Have you ever loved someone so much You'd give an arm for Not the expression, no Literally give an arm for When they know they're your heart And you know you are their armor And you will destroy anyone who would try to harm her But what happens when karma Turns right around and bites you And everything you stand for turns on you to spite you What happens when you become the main source of her pain "Daddy look what I made" "Dad's gotta go catch a plane" "Daddy where's mommy? I can't find mommy, where is she?" "I don't know, go play, Hailie baby, your daddy's busy Daddy's writing a song, this song ain't gon' write itself" I give you one underdog, and you gotta swing by yourself Then turn right around in that song and tell her you love her And put hands on her mother who's the spittin' image of her That's Slim Shady, yeah baby Slim Shady's crazy Shady made me But tonight, Shady's rock-a-bye baby And when I'm gone just carry on don't mourn Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice, just know that I'm lookin' down on you smilin' And I didn't feel a thing so baby, don't feel no pain, just smile back And when I'm gone just carry on don't mourn Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice, just know that I'm lookin' down on you smilin' And I didn't feel a thing so baby, don't feel no pain, just smile back I keep havin' this dream I'm pushin' Hailie on a swing, she keeps screamin', she don't want me to sing "You're makin' mommy cry, why, why is mommy cryin'" "Baby, daddy ain't leavin' no more, daddy you're lyin' You always say that, you always say this is the last time But you ain't leavin' no more daddy, you're mine" She's pilin' boxes in front of the door tryin' to block it "Daddy please, daddy, don't leave, daddy, no, stop it" Goes in her pocket, pulls out a tiny necklace locket It's got a picture, "This will keep you safe daddy, take it with ya" I look up, it's just me standin' in the mirror These fuckin' walls must be talkin', 'cause man I can hear 'em They're sayin', "you got one more chance to do right And it's tonight, now go out and show 'em that you love 'em before it's too late" And just as I go to walk out of my bedroom door It turns to a stage, they're gone and the spotlight is on and I'm singin' And when I'm gone just carry on don't mourn Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice, just know that I'm lookin' down on you smilin' And I didn't feel a thing so baby, don't feel no pain, just smile back And when I'm gone just carry on don't mourn Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice, just know that I'm lookin' down on you smilin' And I didn't feel a thing so baby, don't feel no pain, just smile back Sixty thousand people all jumpin' out their seat The curtain closes, they're throwin' roses at my feet I take a bow, and thank you all for comin' out They're screamin' so loud, I take one last look at the crowd I glance down, I don't believe what I'm seein' "Daddy, its me, help mommy, her wrists are bleedin'" But baby we're in Sweden How did you get to Sweden? "I followed you daddy You told me that you weren't leavin' You lied to me dad, and now you made mommy sad And I bought you this coin, it says number one dad That's all I wanted, I just want to give you this coin" "I get the point, fine, me and mommy are goin'" "But baby wait, it's too late dad, you made your choice Now go out there and show 'em that you love 'em more than us That's what they want They want you, Marshall They keep screamin' your name It's no wonder you can't go to sleep Just take another pill, yeah I bet you you will! You rap about it, yeah word, kid keep it real" I hear a applause, all this time I couldn't see How could it be, that the curtain is closin' on me I turn around, find a gun on the ground Cock it, put it to my brain, scream "die Shady!" And pop it The sky darkens, my life flashes The plane that I was supposed to be on, crashes, and burns to ashes That's when I wake up Alarm clock's ringing, there's birds singin' It's spring and Hailie's outside swingin' I walk right up to Kim and kiss her tell her I miss her Hailie just smiles and winks at her little sister almost as if to say And when I'm gone just carry on don't mourn Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice, just know that I'm lookin' down on you smilin' And I didn't feel a thing so baby, don't feel no pain, just smile back And when I'm gone just carry on don't mourn Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice, just know that I'm lookin' down on you smilin' And I didn't feel a thing so baby, don't feel no pain, just smile back
This one alwayas makes me cry, no homo. I alwayas on trips to the amazonas jungle so the people there can check themselfs with a doctor, we stay there 3 months is rough but is great at the same time.
This is a perfect example of why Em's production is so damn good. The whole song is building in intensity, adding more instruments, and there's actual chord progression. It feels like a real band could be playing it.
This song didn't really do much for me when I was 14 and it dropped.

For real though

💯🥰❤️❤️❤️
This also gonna hit even harder when he passes. Hope it's not anytime soon.
Said the same thing!
"How could it be, that the curtain is closing on me"
@@Dezzyyx best line bro. This whole time he thought the curtain closing was the ending for the audience, but it was closing on him. Deep.
Yo stop talking shit like that, he'll be here with us for another 50 years
Would love to see you guys react to 25 to Life.
Good song!!! React to this
Yes Amen
I think this is the comment that got their attention to react to that song. They said on that reaction that they saw a comment that got 60 likes for this song suggestion
Eminem's best storytelling track imo is Castle&Arose
But they need to be done together and definitely in that order.
they already reacted to those two
@@luk3ycharm I know I was just stating my opinion on his best storytelling tracks
@@Skylinez999 yeah and masterpieces 🤷🏻♂️
Agreed, but Stan is right up there
well he sure kept his promise to destroy anyone who would try to hurt her
Space Bound by Em,such underrated song.
definitely!
It's a deeper, more heartfelt version of LOVE THE WAY YOU LIE. In my opinion
Yoo that man is following asleep doing the reaction.. hahahaha
Lem does that a lot. He says facts and that’s that. But he’s more alert sometimes than just agreeing. You’ll get an occasional punch.
Lem get you some rest. It’s important. Take good care. All love fr.
My favorite Eminem song.
Put Em where he belongs, at the top with the great storytellers of our generation

Least favourite Em album, yet one of my all time Fav Em songs
a lot of stans gonna come to this song when ever Eminem pasts away... *knocks on wood* hope that it isnt for a while
I imagine this song being played a lot after such event
Oh lord poor lem working so hard. And we all saying get sleep lem. He’s prolly pissed we all said summ. Sorry lem we just love y’all.
TRUE GENTLEMAN. 👏👏👏👏✊✊💯💯💯💯
Mockingbird is another dope storytelling💯
Y'all going to be someone on top someday brothers. Cause the way you get in this bar break downning character my god bruh y'all full of passion lovee ya take care of yourself thanks for letting us know all the rappers work 🙏❤️
I see you struggling Lem! Much respect for powering through to finish the video. So easy to give up sometimes. Seeing you face that adversity and not give in to temporary gratification just gave me extra fuel to keep on grinding.
God story telling song cause you two was caught up in deep thought after it was over. Damn!
Im a simple man, i see scriptwork & eminem then im gonna watch the video 100%.
+ i want your reaction guys on eminem-beautiful pain pls
This hits home all the time. Love & respect to Eminem. I was in my senior year when I heard this, I thank him for feeding us the good music in our teenage years. I'd rank this #2. Mockingbird #1
Beautiful, and Going Through Changes too.
Pls react to beautiful by Eminem, you guys are the best 💯
I love y’all both and I know y’all grind hard everyday but my man Collins falling asleep at 13:47 LMAOO
Can tell if someone has kids when they react to this song....that hat pull down at the end says it!!
Ppl who say Eminem has no content are deaf or can't understand english
A little off topic but I’d love a story telling Collab with Joyner & Eminem! Be such fire!
I would love if they did Guilty Conscience Part 2.
Please react to Fine Line by Eminem it's one of his more underated songs in my opinion
Bro...yall got to get these 2 to 200k!! They deserve that and so much more!! Yall are so awesome! Love yalls videos!
I thought Lord Jamar said (black) people couldn't relate to EM songs. HA, the fool! I love you guys man you the realest reactors!
waiting for the movie... big fan of scriptwork.. ✊🏻 😎🤏🏻 🌹
Damn y’all can tell that first verse hit home. #scriptwork ❤️❤️❤️
10/10 no doubt
This was him saying goodbye to slim shady like he said at the start shady made me. Now he saying bye to him
Ooooh thank you very much.
U know how heavy this song was, emotionally; that reacting to it forces you to reflect on your own life and how it's affecting your relationship with those closest to u
This song was released around the time when we thought eminem was retiring and it was taken as a goodbye song. I always looked at it as a nice song for if you pass away. I'm looking down on you smiling, I don't feel no pain so don't feel no pain smile back.
I love u guys u made my night better
Almost famous! the aggressiveness of the wordplay will get you hyped af
The trailer is great y’all
I feel like this was definitely a farewell too his fans also cause this was released in Curtain call and he was leaving the game to focus on himself and family
Hell yea, rank them!!

D12 - My Band. Em and the rest of D12 tell a fake, hilarious story of how they are a boy band and Em is the lead singer! Hilarious music video too! You two should check it out.
I love this one
The eerie thing about this track to me is the beat tempo sounds like a heart beating. Very ominous and sad
I like the song video 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Lem your art is fire!
Cant wait fir vault of terror!!!!
See you guys Friday.
Love it thanku so much an love the music along with it ...love you both not long movie time exciting thanku love an god bless x
This song was him saying goodbye to slim shady. After this dropped he hadn't been slim shady for over a decade. Every once in a while he would bring him out but until Kamikaze slim shady was rarely seen music wise
I got shout-out in today's live stream...where is that??? I want to see that again!!!
Oh shit we gettin sleepy lem back! Lol juss messin. Take care of urselves
You're neglecting that bed my guy! Get some sleep
might be just high
@@LauzonMaster It’s easy to be stoned and be mistaken for tired so you might be right
He has like a 6 year old daughter so the song was hitting him extremely hard. That wasn't sleep... that was a full grown dude holding his tears for almost 20 minutes.
@@WilloPR No it wasn't. It's one of two things and I went the nice route saying it's a lack of sleep. It's definitely not his emotions though.
Crazy how this song gives me goosebumpd and make me tear up to this day, when it's been one of my absolute favorites for as long as I can remember. This one is hard to top for me... Damn. Crazy. Love you guys!
Also, Going Through Changes, Mockingbird, and Beautiful.
I'll be watching y'all movie but hopefully I don't fall asleep like Lem does on most reactions lol
love your reactions.
This hit hard for me when it came out especially because I thought he was talking to his fans a bit too since he took a break after this was released. I think I was like 12 at the time wasn't sure if he was coming back ;p
Looking forward to the movie guys! I’ll be watching on 31st! Respect! All the way from the UK
This beat pounds 🔥🔥 masterpiece 💯
Hit that sub button guys!
My boys been grinding for awhile.
Show support!
Scriptwork
Eminem-Difficult !!! Song to proof and ive not seen anyone react to it.. pls do it, great song !
Damn I missed this one 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I just came to see if anyone noticed Lem slipping and passin out🤣🤣🤣
One of my favorite Em songs. Jon Connor's remix of this is amazing too 🔥
I rank this on the top
Also notice in the second verse he started it "i had this dream" and in the end he wakes up meaning that was his nightmare.
Make time for our family! That has to be priority number 1!
For rm storytelling- stan & bad guy. Is a 2 part masterpiece ✨
would love to see you do Cleaning out my closet & Headlights back to back 🔥
Thank you for this!!!
I'm half a globe away from home... Working. This thing ain't making it easy. But I still love ur vid nonetheless. Keep it comin'.
Lem is noddin dog!! You need some rest bro!! Another great review!!
Where can I watch that Vault of Terror? That looked crazy!
Love it
Can you send me the link..love to watch that thing from you guys...more power and love to you guys...mark from.the philippines...
Please do criminal if you get the chance or haven’t yet ❤️you guys are amazing keep doing you #hugnation
I heard Eminem made this song because he thought he was going to die from his rap beefs. Eminem wanted to leave something behind for Hailie.
Funny how Lem almost fell asleep a few times hahahah :D get some sleep, dude :)
EM is genius btw, I wonder what Hailey thinks about this song now when she listens to it, she probably would forgive and understand her dad a lot. GENIUS actually leaving this time capsule for her.
Stan
was the dad on the left falling a sleep? man i died completelly when i saw it. Much love to my fav dads!
please 11:30 see if im not tripping on this one xD
This was Eminem killing shady
Legacy is a good one.
When I first heard this song I felt bad because I thought he was walking away from the game but at the same time I felt good that he was doing it for his baby girl.
Get you some sleep Lem! Haha
I tought he gonna fell at the end. :D Get some sleep man
😂😂
Thats what that good good do to you
Would love to see a reaction to Murder,Murder - Eminem
Best story telling done by Em Straight out of slim shady ep!
Soo underrated and unknown .
I probably commented this a 100 times sorry lol.
have you guys done "My Darling" always was curious of your interpretation on that song
Lem high as sh*** 🤣
Can you react to Stimulate. There’s a bar I want to see if you can get because I didn’t
WITHOUT ME
WITHOUT ME
WITHOUT ME
WITHOUT ME
WITHOUT ME
WITHOUT ME
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE
Lol! He was sleeping 🤣
React to psychopath killer ASAP🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Yeah, it's my life
My own words, I guess
Have you ever loved someone so much
You'd give an arm for
Not the expression, no
Literally give an arm for
When they know they're your heart
And you know you are their armor
And you will destroy anyone who would try to harm her
But what happens when karma
Turns right around and bites you
And everything you stand for turns on you to spite you
What happens when you become the main source of her pain
"Daddy look what I made"
"Dad's gotta go catch a plane"
"Daddy where's mommy?
I can't find mommy, where is she?"
"I don't know, go play, Hailie baby, your daddy's busy
Daddy's writing a song, this song ain't gon' write itself"
I give you one underdog, and you gotta swing by yourself
Then turn right around in that song and tell her you love her
And put hands on her mother who's the spittin' image of her
That's Slim Shady, yeah baby Slim Shady's crazy
Shady made me
But tonight, Shady's rock-a-bye baby
And when I'm gone just carry on don't mourn
Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice, just know that
I'm lookin' down on you smilin'
And I didn't feel a thing so baby, don't feel no pain, just smile back
And when I'm gone just carry on don't mourn
Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice, just know that
I'm lookin' down on you smilin'
And I didn't feel a thing so baby, don't feel no pain, just smile back
I keep havin' this dream
I'm pushin' Hailie on a swing, she keeps screamin', she don't want me to sing
"You're makin' mommy cry, why, why is mommy cryin'"
"Baby, daddy ain't leavin' no more, daddy you're lyin'
You always say that, you always say this is the last time
But you ain't leavin' no more daddy, you're mine"
She's pilin' boxes in front of the door tryin' to block it
"Daddy please, daddy, don't leave, daddy, no, stop it"
Goes in her pocket, pulls out a tiny necklace locket
It's got a picture, "This will keep you safe daddy, take it with ya"
I look up, it's just me standin' in the mirror
These fuckin' walls must be talkin', 'cause man I can hear 'em
They're sayin', "you got one more chance to do right
And it's tonight, now go out and show 'em that you love 'em before it's too late"
And just as I go to walk out of my bedroom door
It turns to a stage, they're gone and the spotlight is on and I'm singin'
And when I'm gone just carry on don't mourn
Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice, just know that
I'm lookin' down on you smilin'
And I didn't feel a thing so baby, don't feel no pain, just smile back
And when I'm gone just carry on don't mourn
Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice, just know that
I'm lookin' down on you smilin'
And I didn't feel a thing so baby, don't feel no pain, just smile back
Sixty thousand people all jumpin' out their seat
The curtain closes, they're throwin' roses at my feet
I take a bow, and thank you all for comin' out
They're screamin' so loud, I take one last look at the crowd
I glance down, I don't believe what I'm seein'
"Daddy, its me, help mommy, her wrists are bleedin'"
But baby we're in Sweden
How did you get to Sweden?
"I followed you daddy
You told me that you weren't leavin'
You lied to me dad, and now you made mommy sad
And I bought you this coin, it says number one dad
That's all I wanted, I just want to give you this coin"
"I get the point, fine, me and mommy are goin'"
"But baby wait, it's too late dad, you made your choice
Now go out there and show 'em that you love 'em more than us
That's what they want
They want you, Marshall
They keep screamin' your name
It's no wonder you can't go to sleep
Just take another pill, yeah I bet you you will!
You rap about it, yeah word, kid keep it real"
I hear a applause, all this time I couldn't see
How could it be, that the curtain is closin' on me
I turn around, find a gun on the ground
Cock it, put it to my brain, scream "die Shady!" And pop it
The sky darkens, my life flashes
The plane that I was supposed to be on, crashes, and burns to ashes
That's when I wake up
Alarm clock's ringing, there's birds singin'
It's spring and Hailie's outside swingin'
I walk right up to Kim and kiss her tell her I miss her
Hailie just smiles and winks at her little sister almost as if to say
And when I'm gone just carry on don't mourn
Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice, just know that
I'm lookin' down on you smilin'
And I didn't feel a thing so baby, don't feel no pain, just smile back
And when I'm gone just carry on don't mourn
Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice, just know that
I'm lookin' down on you smilin'
And I didn't feel a thing so baby, don't feel no pain, just smile back
V.o.T. looks siick!
You guys should do “3 am” next
This one alwayas makes me cry, no homo.
I alwayas on trips to the amazonas jungle so the people there can check themselfs with a doctor, we stay there 3 months is rough but is great at the same time.
Lem over there hanging for dear life 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. Get some sleep dawg hahahaha
I never ment to give you mushrooms
Can you guys do any OutKast breakdowns? plss
This is a perfect example of why Em's production is so damn good. The whole song is building in intensity, adding more instruments, and there's actual chord progression. It feels like a real band could be playing it.
*SIDE NOTE:* 6:52 is the most non-eminem looking shot ever lol.
