Eminem was absolutely about that life back when this was released. He was known for carrying multiple guns around with him because of multiple death threats he was getting. He did a lot of his shows with bullet proof vests under his shirts. This was also around the time he started riding with 50 Cent, and you know 50 was definitely about that life. Em famously caught a case for running up on a bouncer at a club when he caught Kim kissing the dude. The bouncer says Eminem pistol whipped him, but Em said that he punched him and the gun never hit the guy. Either way, he had multiple assault charges, was on probation for a good long time.
There are also interviews with people Eminem knew growing up, and he was known for having hands. He grew up as one of the few kids in a mostly all-black area. He got in a lot of fights, and by the time he was in his late teens he had enough respect from people to stop getting beat up just for trying to walk home. As an adult, Em trained in boxing with the same guy who trained Mike Tyson. Eminem knows how to fight.
Love this comment.
He was also initally supposed to star in southpaw, but the role later went to jake and he just did the music.
I remember that on the album, this song is being introduced with an interlude of em sitting in a car with his friend and then catching his gf kissing another dude. He them grabs his gun and runs up on them yelling motherfuckerrr! And then the tunes of the song kick in. I even remember the # on the album. Interlude was on #5 and #6 was soldier. Back in the days, the albums you had was the only music you had. Must've listened to that album legit a 1000 times as a kid. Good memories, good music.
In the early days, and before he blew up with the Slim Shady LP he was known for fighting the fan's. Literally jumping off stage into the crowd to throw hands with someone talking shit/disrespecting him. Dude was wild in his youth lol no joke
wsnt he in entourage with trick trick also? the gangster from deroid, there`s a story that trick killed someone for eminem wihtout em knowing
Eminem changed his perspective when Proof was killed, you don't hear alot of these style raps after that happened.
It's why he went into crazy ass wordplay
Em always Had crazy wordplay Before and after proof died.
You hear Tupac in this his last verse I feel like he was singing about pac
That's what life and age does...it changes your perspective over time. Even Eminem isn't immune to it.
Yup, Proof was in my opinion the second best rapper in D12. After he’s death he pulled away from that hardcore gangster, thug, come get me type of life but Eminem was about it. He just didn’t want more of his people dying “when the music stops”.
"You can smell the lawsuit soon as i waltz in the room." Underrated verse.
Yes!!!
Who has underrated any verse in this song lol
Line
Everybody halts and stops and calls the cops
For real😂❤️
It’s not shocked value. “Pistol whip a bouncer 6.2” this is what almost got him a assault with a deadly weapons charge. He had to fight this in court.
Bouncer wasnt 6'2, Guerrera was like 5'4 and stocky and fat
@HiiiPower lmaoooooooooooo another one
@@dranzer2545 different situation bro, not his first time lol
Haters are gonna doubt
@@dranzer2545 was it the same guerra he referenced in Sing for the moment? "You full of shit too Guerrera. That was a fist that hit you."
think Genius explained Soldier pretty well:
"Despite his bizarrely violent lyrics, Em never once labeled himself as a “thug” or a “gangsta.” He just had a thing for guns.
It was only when his gun altercations of 2000 arose that the media began to apply those stigmas to his reputation."
He just accepted that the media would always give him that image.
He had always been getting in fistfights & carrying guns, but never claimed to be a gangster. But when he got famous, some ppl took the "slim shady" lyrics too literally & expected him to rly be a murderer
Then he was arrested twice & convicted on weapons & assault charges twice in 3 months & the media ran w/ it. Always getting sued or arrested, the police trying to stop his shows, & probably the constant beef w/ other rappers, reached a boiling point.
So he's like, I never pretended to be a gangster, but here's how I feel rn. bc u don't have to literally be a gangster to have a "kill or be killed" mentality or to not back down from a fight
word
Em is a real one
Well it is the first words of the song, it not very hard to comprehend...
"Never was a thug, just infatuated with guns"
@@Bond91Swe lol..well you'd be surprised @ how many people misunderstand
Put it perfectly, gj
Man Stevie still has a lot to discover about Em.
He did say back then he didn't listen to Eminem like that back in the day
@@kennethflaglerjr3843 yea but he only listens to the music so he has no context on why he says what he says
Yeah, the durags and baggy clothes weren't just an image, it REALLY WAS him. He grew up with black people and that's what his friends wore, so of course he did too. And Em comes from the hood, like for real, I wish people didn't forget that so much (that's not directed at Stevie, just in general outside of fans and stans). I just listened to the LL Cool J interview, from Kamikaze, and he said that he would answer the door with a gun pointed in the face of whoever was on the other side. Sorry for the semi-rant :)
th-cam.com/video/egDE1pB3kU0/w-d-xo.html Eminem WIDE walking 😂😂😂😂
I knowwww it's great that he like somehow missed Eminem being Eminem getting to watch someone go through what I did growing up as an adult piece by piece song by song is a treat
Ya'll Must Be Young People. Talking about "he used to be about that" what you think, he sold em all?
Love the forgot about dre reference. Take this thumbs up
Huh?
Cause I been in the lab with a pen and a pad?
Well now he can provide his family with groceries.
@@thomstark2473 plaques hanging all through his office and in the back of his house like trophies.....
Yes, that was Eminem. He was about that shit. That's why they took away his rights to bare arms. He was wildin out in his youth but that same energy is what made the youth of that time and to this day gravitate towards him. As he grew older he matured, that maturity you can see reflected in his albums. Plus loosing Proof and nearly dying of a drug over dose pushed him to change. To never be that person again a person who was toxic and he himself hated being. Which is part of the reasons he took what critics did to revival so personally because he had really open himself up and put himself out there on that album. But neither Fans nor the mainstream media gave it a chance they spit on it before listening to it or listen to a few songs and called it garbage. I listened to it and iit wasnt bad but it wasnt his best body of work either it was an okay album. But it also contain two songs which I believe are the crown jewels of his entire career on that album. Castle and Arose are two songs that can't be listen to just by themselves they must be listened to together and you will see what I'm talking about. Anyways yeah that was what young Eminem was about.
Thanks!
yea em rolled deep we has down like that before but a lot of his homies were getting killed and we lucky em never got hit
Em was a wild boy back in the day, now he's a calm storm.
He use to be absolutely wild and carried guns around and have gun problems . That wasn't even his nature though . Just felt forced to act that way because of his celebrity status . I think When proof got shot dead he changed a lot in relation to that
Maturity
I'm sure hanging around with 50 had some sort of influence on him
@@lewisdawson3761 no need to go that far . Dr Dre was a real gangster back in the day
Now he's a snowflake
The thing is. This actually isn't a metaphor...
He means everything he is saying literally.
And this was on the heels of him actually shooting a club bouncer who was kissing Kim . Even though he was smart enough to take the bullets out of that gun . He will say on cleaning out my closet that it was the smartest thing he did. And that acting that way was dumb and stupid
Definitely.
Brandon Ayong pistol whipped* but in “sing for the moment “ he said it was his fist, not a gun and yeah he took the bullets out as said in “cleaning out my closet””
@@brandonayong752 He didnt shoot him. The bouncer lied and said he had been pistol whipped but eminem just punched him.
CoDGplays Royce would’ve been fucked up by D12
This is one of my all-time favorites from Em. The lyrics are dope. The rhyme scheme is what made me appreciate rap on a whole other level. And the way he rode the beat was next level.
My favourite Em cadence oat
I’ll start by saying that I admit I get incredibly annoyed by all the Eminem stans and the over-the-top circlejerk about how great of a rapper he is - don’t get me wrong, he is absolutely among the top-10, maybe top-5, most technically skilled emcees to ever do it, but he’s not on some godlike level that no one else has ever reached (speaking of others on that same level, I’d start by mentioning Royce - who I would say is the best to ever do it - as well as Black Thought, Aesop Rock, Elzhi, King Los, Andre 3000, Canibus, and Rakim, just to name a few).
Having said all that, Em’s performance on Soldier is quite possibly the single-best and most comprehensively flawless of all-time. From the rhyme schemes, syllable placement, and meter to the flow and overall vocal performance, every single aspect could be cited as a textbook example of that technique or skill. The thing I’ve always found most enjoyable and impressive is something he does with the flow, which is how at numerous points throughout the song he uses this alternating dactylic, reverse-dactylic (which has a name of its own but I can’t think of it) meter while rapping in triplets (i.e. each syllable comes as a 1/4-note triplet), which has this really amazing effect of reinforcing both the power and rhythm of the vocals. What I’m referring to can be heard in instances like when he says “got the rep of a villain, for weapon concealing / took the image of a thug, kept shit appealing.”
@@doomtho42i aint readin allat 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Almost the whole album was produced by him

This is a good gym-workout song too
100%
LOL...This is my Gym-Workout song...sh!t gets you pumped bra!!
Yess
Str8 up
Defintely..The whole Eminem show album fits to a good hard workout.
“The Kiss” , "Soldier", "Say Goodbye to Hollywood" from The Eminem Show are all conected. They are all part of a story that starts with "The Kiss" , "Soldier" is the middle one and then finishes with "Say Goodbye to Hollywood"
Snitram360 never knew this.
Really!?
Yea. Absoluty
True
I nvr put that together. This song wasn’t really a story though. The kiss was made long after, i gotta relisten to them now
You gotta think, if you come from the gutter, even if you’re not a “gangster” you have this typa anger and grit and real-ness to you that’ll never leave. This typa music probably came way more natural to Eminem then you’d think 💯.
Real shit, don't have to be a Gangster to handle your shit lol
@@theascended8272 EXACTLY!!!!
An old interview he said back when he and the D12 crew was so poor. He Had to share one burger w kuniva and while eating he would get so mad he punched the wall bcuz he couldn't get a record deal only bcuz he was white n after he blew up everyone kept saying he was selling records bcuz he was white..
@@emyf9197 that's partly why it's demotivating for people to succeed in their field these days. Because there will always be someone ignorant who says "You only go to where you are because of what you look like."
No, I struggled and went through hell to get here.
@@AutomaticDuck300 aside from this topic. A lot of times ppl do succed bcuz of certain privileges. Nepotism, race etc
When it comes to hip hop n Eminem. I barely see him as a regular white person. The way he talks n carries himself feels different. Bizarre once said tht em is black with white skin. Dre thought em was black until he met him in person. This is why no other white rapper hasn't come close to his level.. They either feel to try hard or tryna imitate him..
Well, R.A rugged man is actually pretty damn good n doesn't come off as wannabe hood. But Em is part of hip hop royalty n only white rapper in it. And he really busted his ass off n in his case white privilege didn't work for him... Only once he started selling under a big label n to get noticed like a light bulb
This is why nick's "I was looking for him in Detroit" was so hilarious.
😂😂😂😂😂forgot about that shit!!! Big facts!!!!💕🎶💯
People forget early 00’s Shady was wild
Multiple gun charges, pistol whipped a dude
He wanted ALL the smoke
I thought that he actually punched him and the bouncer said that he pistol whipped him
Of course he said that. He caught a felony charge. He was trying to get it reduced that’s why he said in sing for the moment it was a fist...but it wasn’t. I also read a blog back in the day...like 2010...The stans actually tracked down Guerrero online and started clowning him and he told everything that happened trying to make himself look better. He called Em crazy if you search it you can prolly find the whole thread
@Chris Jones OH SHIT YEAH. damn I forgot about that
FNAR308 big facts
@stevie knight
Dog needs to do "Go to sleep" , Em was all about the smoke back then.
^
Still the most underrated song of Eminem.
No apologies too bruh
I think also “Bad Guy”and “Evil Twin” are the most underrated Em songs
@@HUSTLATHATREPENTED untouchable
And square dance
I was in the marine Infantry when this came out...it was such a pump song. I took that to Iraq and back!
Thank you so much for your service, Michael! You’re a true American hero 🇺🇸
Me too brother. Iraq for me. Till I collapse and this song whenever I was scared or tired
Respect 🇺🇸
This is the classic old eminem. No crazy schemes or triples but flow as nasty as ever.
Wish he would go back to doing that. It becomes tiresome with a double or triple in every line. Sometimes simple is better.
@@slomo6054 HE CAN DO THAT WITH CRAZY FLOWS, GODZILLA EXAMPLE LOL, JUST NEED GOOD BEATS NOT LIKE IN BELIEVE, THAT SONG WITH SOME ANGRY GOOD FLOW AND BEAT WITH THAT WORDS WOULD BE MASTERPIECE

@@BoredInTheComments and it's exactly happened !! Full of controversy til I'm 30 til they retire my Jersey !
@@BoredInTheComments same bro i get chills everytime i use that part to get my PR's in the gym lol
Before this song on the album there’s a skit called “the kiss”
It’s him and his mate in his car watching Kim and he sees her kissing a bouncer, so he jumps out the car and runs over to him.
The skit finishes there but what happened is MM pistol whipped him with the gun they talk about in the skit. He nearly went to prison for it.
He wasn’t a thug but he wasn’t scared to throw fists And back up his friends. Growing up where he did and his situation I’m sure he got into plenty of scuffles
He punched him
@@smalltrashman4227 Yeah, that's what Eminem says in Toy Soldiers I think.
@@tander101 sing for the moment 👍
If Stevie’s Eminem horizons are being broadened, we need to get him to listen to Rock Bottom. Em before he was rich. One of the best songs of all time in my opinion. Edit: The drums and production are outdated but the words still hold up. Timeless to be honest.
Agreed...I forget about it sometimes but when it pops into the playlist, I'm reminded and it hits a little harder than when I first heard it as a teenager
Haha. I just left a comment like this. Rock Bottom might be the perfect song. It won't be everybody's favorite, but if you've "been there" you don't forget that song.
That is the song that made me pulled me in!
@@StrangeMuseSick ...I'd like to see more Tech on here too...
That song and if I had one of my favorite em songs
Love this tune. I’ve been playing this on repeat lately. I love how he sounds when he delivers the lines he sounds angry. Great driving track
This def ain’t a metaphor or shock value lmao 😂, em had like 3 assault charges during this album lol
All Stevie ever says is ‘shock value’
what’s the hardest songs on the album ?
@@mante626 till i collapse
@@mante626 id say my personal favorites are This one, Superman, my dads gone crazy, business and for his softer songs hailies song and sing for the moment.
when he says "like my lawyers when the judge lets me off" he's talking about when he was facing 5 yrs in prison & got 2 yrs probation...& so "set me off & I'm violating"..talkin bout violating his probation
This was definitely real. He got a charge for pistol whipping like he said in a song. Also Jay-z talked about when he gave em a hug in the studio that he felt that em was carrying a gun
COULD YOU REACT TO THIS TRACK HERE EMINEM FT 50 CENT 50 BE TROLLING LIVE th-cam.com/video/0bv3YRkXx34/w-d-xo.html
Get him to reacto to DJ Who Kid story in Japan with Eminem.
I thought it was a bulletproof vest?..
Bulletproof vest, not a gun
Tristan T ok might of been that. I haven’t heard that story since 03. Sorry guys my mistake
I just love how Em does his raspy voice
First rap song I truly loved right here. 4 years old my dad played this Eminem show album on cassette in the Cadillac, whenever he let me choose the song I would always stop on this one. The first days of the rest of my life. Birth of a life long rap obsession.
Your dad let you listen to this at 4? Lmaooo
Em used to be like that but as he got older he became chill. But he used to carry a gun with him everywhere he even beat a bouncer with his gun
It was a fist that hit the bouncer, the bouncer lied and said it was gun. He even address it in a song, "You're full of shit to Guerra, that was a fist that hit you"
@@cmoorePB wow! Makes sense, I never understood that line till now.
Alex Lee shit me 2 first notice now
Chris Moore those are different situations. In one of them he emptied the gun and pistol whipped, and another time was just a punch
after proof got killed he changed
Stevie back when he made this song, this is after he pistol whipped a bouncer that he saw kissing kim. The skit before this on the album kinda reenacted it too
Yeah. This actually made big news back in the day cuz he was facing jail time.
He didnt pistol whip him he just punched the bouncer.
Small TrashMan that’s a different situation.
@@mattkinsman272 No. Eminem talks about this specific thing in another song
Yea he didn’t pistol whip him... the bouncer claims he did... Em says “that was a fist that hit you”.
This is one of my workout songs.
Portugal here for the Goat Eminem always since day one and forever. Thanks for reacting. Salutes.
His line"spill my life through this pen, mFCKAS know that i will never be Marshall again" I dont care what anybody says thats probably one of his hardest lines to date.🔥🔥🔥
The hardest 2 bars i have ever heard from Eminem (or anybody for that matter)
"We don't do drive by's, we park in front of houses and shoot/
and when the police come we fuckin shoot it out with them too!"
That shit makes me want to slide on soim (but I don't want to see anybody to get hurt)😂😂😂
That last verse is SUCH an adrenaline rush. I get chills every timeee. Em at his best
“What he say? Listen to the sound the camera makes when?” ...no not quite 🤣🤣
We knew more about Kim back then than any Kardashian now
Lol. That was great
Lol
lmao
Been vibing with Stevie for a minute, but missed this one. This track stays on my gym list...it just goes so fucking hard. Easy classic.
Facts. One of his most underrated and under appreciated songs
There's not any other rapper that I've ever heard that can express himself with so much emotion like anger and artistic talent at the same time as Eminem. Just legendary. A masterpiece
Hey Stevie, I am so glad you did this video. I have been binge watching the hell out of all of your react videos and a few weeks ago I think I watched a video where you said you didn't see much of his old stuff from The Eminem Show. I was going to try to ping you to check out Soldier I use to rock this song all the damn time around 2007-2008 during my workouts while I was in the military. Shit kept me so pumped during my 5 mile runs. I thrived off the energy in this song.
Keep in mind this came out when EM was beefing with Benzino and Ja Rule(both of which he destroyed literally ended Ja Rules career). Tupac and Biggie had both been murdered a few years before, plus we didnt have social media so shit seemed more serious.
Listen to “Say Goodbye Hollywood” it’ll explain things pretty well
He caught a felony charge for assault and a gun charge, he pistol whipped a bouncer Bc he was messing around with Kim at a night club.
you cant do solider and not do say goodbye to hollywood bruh! They go hand in hand
Straight fire! Still bumps in 2021! Transcends time! He’s the king of controversy! He comes after everybody’s throat in the game even back then
This stuff is pretty accurate. I know he’s got gun charges, assault charges, and he did pistol whip a bouncer like he says I’m this song.
on that album, it is pretty much a story and on the song say goodbye to Hollywood he talks about the situation the led to him almost going to jail. He pistol-whipped the bouncer
Em: "I need a good reason to give this trigger a good squeeze"
Stevie: *surprised pikachu face*
that reaction was perfect
Who needs bullets? When I pull it you sweat bullets. This album/song is so fire.
I've been a fan of Eminem since 1998/1999..I was like 13/14 years old. Still a fan. So being a fan since the beginning, I've lived through his wild years, arrest, beefs, growth, etc...just about all of it as it was going on at the time. I know his discography, and I'm glad you're getting to know it too. The different types of songs he has. Did you hear all of the songs for his daughters?. Ems softer side as a father who loves his daughter Hailie is one of the reasons I love Eminem. It got better when he included her cousin Alaina (who is Kim's sisters child) and Whitney (who is Kim's from a relationship after him). Has custody of them. He's a father to all 3. I just love that. And his songs for them are some of my favorite..gets me emotional. He also had legal custody of his younger half brother Nathan.
In 99 a fan kept knocking on his door, so Eminem answered it and put a gun in his face
He also put a mask on, kicked down his tour members hotel door and shot blanks all over the hotel at like 3am
He also pistol whipped a bouncer he saw kissing Kim
Shady was literally crazy back then. He's so calm these days.
This is Em, he is super real and wears everything on his sleeve. Everything changed after Proof was murdered
He was like that for real until Proof was killed, after that his perspective switched up. He didn't wanna lose anyone else
I mean being involved with all the thug life shit.. Actually also meant putting his daughter in risk.. And ppl did go far n name her in their diss tracks but u never know ja send ppl after 50 cent n he got shot. Similar could been with ppl going after his kid..
First it’s was BUGZ
this is my favourite hip hop track, nobody spits this raw with that sort of lyrical talent
EMINEM FT XZIBIT - DONT APPROACH ME🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
duuuuude
no this was real hahah I remember like a week after mmlp was released he was arrested for two gun charges! And before he got famous he went to jail with proof but got lucky and the charges were dropped
Yo homie night I didn't know you was so small you gained muscle my guy .. I didn't know your show back then .. You are one of the best bar breakdown .thanks for being so passionate about music
There's a reason he flipped off the way he did. Flip it upside down and youll see a Detroit sign. Street King's, joy road, exit 9 shit. He's deeper than a lot would think.🤷
My man grew up on joy road and evergreen
Em was on the street. He likes guns. Was in a lot of fights. And was in trouble with the law. But he wasn't like in a gang or selling dope I dont think. I think the closest to that life was when he was hanging out with 50 cent a lot.
"Never was a gangsta till I graduated to one" He didn't start out with that shit, but being around it so much, turned him fast. Not a literal gangster, but a badass. Everything else, is either true or he sincerely believes it.
It’s a great way to show white people how circumstances can lead to certain outcomes, I’ve been trying to explain to my white friends for years and they didn’t get it until I used em in context
@@mookiestewart3776 Yeah. I grew up around this and I learned how to defend myself fast after getting roughed up a few times. I didn't take that path in life like my dad. I got the hell out when I got older. Many people will never understand growing up like that.
I use to listen to this before wrestling matches. Definitely put me in the right mood.

All but fack lol
Yeah I don’t see him liking Fack either
But good list!
You settin him up with fack 😂😂
Em hates Fack
I knew he was gonna love the beat lol
This song just shows that Eminem is a perfect example of “you become the environment around you” this isn’t a shot at anyone or race or whatever. It’s true you become by what’s surrounded by you. When proof died ems perspective changed. God bless him.
Love Angry Em flows + great lyrics, beats(here he is constantly good),True story song..😊
Beat is fire on this song! Em produced it too which is crazy..
There’s videos on TH-cam’s with interviews of people who used to be around EM. All of them say the same thing of how EM was about it and didn’t fuck around. Obviously he grew up and changed how he acted and got out of that life
Eminem is as real as they come. When a stalker broke into his house last year and his security was asleep, he went to face the man himself no body guards. The song was about when he pistol whipped someone that was hooking up with Kim in which he caught a case for weapon possession.
false! Eminem woke up to the home invader standing over him and he thought it was his nephew. He asked why he was there and the home invader said he was there to kill him. Eminem knew he was mentally disturbed so he escorted him outside to security. It was nothing major.
@G.Doyle91 False! Eminem ate too many choco buddy's the night before and dreamed it all 🍫
@@Kinobambino false, Eminem does not sleep.
I’m glad to see someone like you speak on em and how gangster he be , he’s a genius
Bless! Stevie thanks for all the vids man. You’re always on point with posting & just dope!
Thank you man, we working!
yup this is a two parter (well 3 counting the skit "Kiss"), Say Goodbye to Hollywood is the second part
Fun fact. Eminem actually pistol whipped a bouncer 20 years ago or so- it was an event that was covered back in the day.
it’s in his lyrics even.
Love it when people who know the Em from now hear his old stuff for the first time.
All of the outrage he caused back then was real and the amount of shits he DID. NOT. GIVE. was just as real.
Before Proof died, Em was a gangsta.. even the law took a shot at him lol
I love it when he just lets rappers know yall better lace up those boots and get to walking because to see me you have a long road ahead. Your going to take what I have to give kinda attitude.
This whole album is full of bangers. You should do Square Dance. This was the song that made Em my favorite rapper.
Dude watchin you react to this gave me chills like I got the day this album dropped.
Stevie knight. Glad I found your channel. You’re my favourite breakdown channel. Keep up the good work my dude!
He was about that life back then and his team. Like everyone we all grow as the years go by
I don't think anyone truly grows up man, I think our circumstances just change a little.
We have more to fight for but more to lose.
The *Yo, Left, Yo, Left, Yo, Left, Right, Left* that you like was also at the beginning of *(Till I Collapsed)*
Thanks for the comment. I was trying to remember which other em song I heard this on.
Yo youre my boy bro...love your reaction videos and youre hilarious
Em: “Full of controversy until I retire my jersey /
'Til the fire inside dies and expires at thirty”
Me: Well that went out the window!

" I spit the illest shit ever been dropped in a two inch" might be the most underrated line in the history of music
He wasnt a gangsta until he graduated to one through his lyrics and image (and his skin) ppl sized and tried him so he had to fulfill....
The way he put all that together man.......
............#️⃣LEGEND
“Gangsta? Nah. Courageous balls!”
‘Had to change my style, they say I’m way too soft.’ 🔥
Reference from "guts over fear" Eminem ft Sia
Stevie!! You need to check out "Till I Collapse". You will love it! Then energy is crazy!
Rahhhh never seen anyone break down eminems songs the way you do! Keep it real fella!
I have a bad memory but I think this was back when eminem was beefing alot so I'd say he did carry a gun on his person at all times
He was living that life at the time. Check out his court cases. He really cracked that bouncer.
This one is a gym banger
this whole album was on repeat when it came out. by far my fave by him
This is one of my favorite gym songs. Dope dope dope
Been a minute since I’ve heard this one! Stevie diggin in this week.. 💪🏽💪🏽
Royce tells stories that Em used to hop off stage into an audience just to beat someone down.
his ex body guard said it was standard for EM any time he is having a concert lol
This is one of my best em songs
One of my favourite songs to this day
