Thanks for doing this one: Eminem is such an interesting artist in the sense that he provides an intimate view into his life because he is honest as a person. He's gone on record, song and interview, to air out every mistake, fault and issue he's had in the last 30 years of making music. He's always said he's a dad first and a rapper second, and this song is a good encapsulation of that to a tee. This isnt so much a reaction request (though I'd love to see it as one) but Eminem put a small piece talking about his drug addiction issues on Juice World's album that I think you might have some interesting thoughts on. Its basically an interview compilation where he talks about how he was at the time and what happened with his attitude. His best friend was killed in a shooting, his on-off relationship and constant touring was hard on him and he developed a pill addiction for stuff like sleeping. ruclips.net/video/dNtrKtQXk3Q/видео.htmlfeature=shared
Thank you so much for your great and refreshing way to run your reactions! I actually already LOVE your channel!!! Found it today, and I can't wait to see more of your content! In my opinion the best way to understand Em, is to go through everything he ever spoke about and rapped that got recorded in chronological order, to see through all aspects of his topics in his music and see how he progressed lyrically through the years... and YES!!! the further thought time you will go, the more you will see more and more wordplays, metaphors and lyrical intricacies, but syllable- rhyme- and rhythmical progression in his music!!! That was happening in general in Rap, but in his specific case it will really help to show you what makes him such a genius and a unique artist!!! And by the way, you can just go on exactly like this. It's YOUR channel, and you should be just yourself and behave in the way you feel most comfortable with😉 Do not think you have to compromise your honesty or originality or anything else because of the bulls*it some dumb asses comment on your videos... I'm really enjoying getting a glimpse into your thoughts and feelings about these songs! PEACE AND LOVE FROM SWITZERLAND ❤️✌️❤️
@@FreyaReacts I did and it was great I hope you keep enjoying his music he is really the GOAT and in 2022 was added to the rock n roll hall of fame too.
Don't listen to the haters, the reaction is great and not everyone is an expert at this stuff. This song always makes me cry, as well as "When I'm Gone". Great video.
Thank you so much! Yeah, this song is just...well... so much (I mean that in the best way possible!) I am so glad I'm here and was able to experience it. I can only imagine what is to come. "When I'm Gone" -- got it! Thank you, again. Much appreciated!
I don’t have kids, just a memory of my dad listening to this song and “when I’m gone” while riding back home from my mom’s place. I used to love them when I was 7-8, didn’t understand anything thought. Unfortunately he ended his life when I was 8, and I just can’t imagine what and how he felt while listening to these songs, with me in his car. Must’ve been extremely painful in a way for him. I miss him everyday and this song will always make me cry. I found comfort to see people relate to this song. Wow 30k in 3 weeks that’s sooo awesome I’m happy for you !! ☺️
Thank you so much for sharing and I'm so sorry -- may he rest in peace. I'm so glad your finding some good in what I'm doing here. Thanks for hangin in there with me! Much appreciated! 3
The joy of Eminem, or one of them, is his complexity as an artist. Hes not just a battle rapper, hes not just a funny shock rapper, hes not just a gangster style rapper, hes not just political or making social commentary, he gives us his human sides too. His soft spots. It really has helped and continues to help generations of people
Em can make you laugh, cry, feel disgusted, anger. joy, amazement, pride, give you courage, etc etc etc. He can invoke any emotion he wants out of people. he's 1 in a billion.
Some background *#Eminem* has his biological daughter hailie who he had with his wife *Kim. Laney* is his ex-wife *Kim's* twin sisters daughter who *#Eminem* adopted because his sister-in-law & husband got into drugs. Who both ultimately died at separate times over the years after that. He also has a third daughter he adopted when he remarried *Kim* which lasted about a year. But when they got remarried she was already pregnant by somebody else & instead of saying take this other guy's child with you (which was around a year old) He kept her & raised her as well.
I love that you allowed yourself to display your raw emotional response. This song really does hit you right in the feels ( especially if you're a parent)
Thank you for hanging out here a bit! Lol...I'm trying but, my goodness....these songs....just wow. I'm so glad to hear them but, I'm looking forward to some of the other suggestions that are hopefully (fingers crossed) not so emotional (in the sad department that is.) Thanks, again. Much appreciated.
Freya, you do you. I cannot believe people are upset by your toe-dipping into rap/Eminem. A lot of us are just enjoying your journey, and there is no onus on you to like Eminem’s music. Stay honest, stay real, and enjoy yourself.
When he said "Lainey, Uncles crazy aint he? Yeah but he loves you girl and you better know it" He's talking to his wifes daughter from another man. Who he later adopted. He also adopted another daughter, who is his ex wifes sisters daughter. He always references Hailey because that's his blood related daughter, but a lot of people don't know he raised 3 little girls. (into very successful women).
U did great. It's a hard song to do, I also cry, when I hear this, and for 2 reasons. I'm a single dad with a little girl and when she was a baby, I used to sing this song for her lullaby, cuz it's the only song I know to sing, with "Hailies Song". Being a Stan, I loved Ur reaction, cus I like reactions that appropriates the talent.
That's Eminem. I get always emotional and this song is in my daily rotation since day 1. For me is probably the best music video ever. Super emotional and motivational. Portugal here for the Goat Eminem always since day one and forever. Thanks for reacting to this legendary masterpiece. Salutes and respect. Can you react to Sing for the moment and Not Afraid?
Welcome to the realm on Em... A master story teller, he shines light on his darkness. It makes a lonely world relatable, and make it seem less lonely. An image of hope and recovery, being able to stand back up after the world gut punches you. After becoming a father alot of his songs hit differently.
Mockingbird, Headlights and When I'm Gone Three songs that always remind me of just how much my mom sacrificed to keep us healthy and sane with an abusive father in the house making our lives a living hell day in and day out. Love ya mom❤
Don't worry about crying to this song. I cry to it all the time. As someone who couldn't get her mom or brother gifts on Christmas for 3 years in a row, I too, felt like a bum. Even though I was paying bills, I felt like it wasn't enough. So, I got a second job. Back in the 90s, Kim was ALWAYS on the news. Repeated drug charges.
Its crazy how even over a decade later you can still feel such a connection to this song and the people involved. Im not a parent myself, but ive been there for my mom comforting her when she didnt have enough money to get my brother and i presents for Christmas. It breaks my heart to see parents trying so hard for thier children yet life just keeps knocking them down. And i think Eminem did a great job Conveying the feelings of both the parents perspective and the childs perspective with this song.
i've been watching reaction videos before they were mainstream and I can safely say you are doing great, most don't have nearly the substance ur providing in addition to the video ur reacting to, I really appreciate seeing someone being so open
Thank you so much for that! I appreciate you taking some time to comment and checking out the channel. Glad to hear I'm doing something a least halfway right. lol Much appreciated!

i've been watching reactions from all over the world and found some great ones but, the raw way you do it, thats what was missing at all. cheers from brazil
Thank you so much. No matter how old we are, when this song comes on it strikes an emotional cord that makes us (me) stop, feel this song and rhen shed a tear. This is therapy that will 4ever be available at the press of a finger, for eternity, and i thank Eminem everytime i listen to this song. 🙏
I absolutely agree -- this song comes from the heart and mind of one to the hearts and minds of many. And... it's a completely different level of bravery and courage to put out something so personal like this - in my humble opinion. But he did and I'm grateful I was able to experience it. Thank you so much for taking some time to comment and checking out the channel. I appreciate it so much!
As foster parents my husband and we have a love hate relationship with this song. It hurts but it makes us remember why we foster these children.. so they can sleep without fear, eat without any judgement, and live a happy life. We are going to adopt a little boy, he is 8, he has been thru his mothers divorce, he was given to us when she was imprisoned for drugs.. he is not our blood but god has made him our child.. and he will never see abuse or a hand in his face again.. All that to say i feel you.. i love you..
I could be wrong here but if I remember correctly he has one biological daughter (Hailey) then he also adopted Kim's sisters kid (Lonnie. Not sure the spelling) that Kim was raising for her sister who has/had issues with drugs. Then he I think (and this is the one I am unsure/unclear about and may be wrong about) also adopted a kid Kim had with another guy while they were separated one time. And then he also adopted his much younger brother/half brother (I think his name was Ben? But I am not sure). He is a very caring and responsible man. He is also a very honest and introspective man and is unafraid on telling how he feels in his music he shares most things about himself in his music good, bad and ugly.
I always tear up listening already and your reaction just adds lol, but lmao the end is my favorite part, like yo I'll do whatever if you fk with my fam
I’ve got to say I’ve seen multiple reactions to this and yours is by far 💯 the most pure when it comes to emotions..I’ve always got a tear in my eyes every single time I hear this song a beautiful reaction and also my first with you..keep it up and if you haven’t yet react to Eminem - When I’m gone
Im appreciative of this stirring video 7:08 Freya, a genuine and maternal reaction. It reiterates and reminds us that life is deeply nuanced. Your child could be going through it video taping every occurrence with their eyes, digesting the good, the bad, and the ugly. The parent struggles but their job is to discern their children’s surroundings and prepare to safeguard. This reaction evoked memories & reminded me of my mother & me!
If you know anything about Em then you know that this comment is bullcrap, he was extremely selfish during a big part when fame first hit him, and he put his family second and drugs and fame first, I give you one point though, he did clean up and get his shit together and learned from his mistakes.
Most people listen back to the ending, whole song is a message. This one hits differently for me never knowing my father and not having kids. He actually does sing in "Hailey's song",definitely worth checking out if you already haven't. Great video!
The way you speak kind of slower and seem very open and understanding, along with your furniture in the background seem like im at a therapy session 😁 great reaction, love that you are doing this! Keep it up😊
That video was great, ignore the haters. Please react to 'When I'm Gone' by Eminem, it reveals more about his personal life and struggles as a working parent
thank you for appreciating the song. Whether or not you like eminem, there's always something that you can connect to in his songs, especially the ones where he talks about his struggles.
Eminem Stans are crazy n there are a lot of them me included im sorry lol but there are good stans out there. idk why they would hate on your last reaction it was great, u vibed out to the GOAT. Another great reaction to Eminem keep it up :)
7:47 i know this all too well. I had a very abusive traumatizing childhood, at the hands of my step dad, and my real dad wasn't around. It has made me very empathic and connected to children, especially children without the proper foundation that they need and deserve. My abuse and trauma has messed me up permanently for the rest of my life. Im very mentally ill to the point of being disabled permanently, and ive become a borderline alcoholic. I hope that never, ever happens to any other child and I'll always do anything in my power to protect kids.
You really connected with this. Your reaction game is top tier. React to "Cleaning out my closet" (diss to mom) followed by "Headlights" (apology to mom)
Thank you for making this day a bit brighter! I appreciate you taking time to check out the channel, for hanging out with me for a bit and for your suggestions (officially on the list!) It's y'all that will keep me going on this channel! Much appreciated!
this is a song that really hit home to me my parents were broke when i was a kid. i lived in the ghetto of denver our nieghborhood was called the knife and gun club by the pd. drive bys in our hood atleast once a month. my dad was never home cause he was a long haul truck driver. i was beat up being one of few white kids in school. later in life we moved out of that place and back to a smaller town my dad graduated high school. but from my freshman year on my dad was always home took another job to watch me play sports or take me fishing, hunting, i understand now about to turn 40 myself my dad made alot of sacrificing for the family and tell this day my dad is here for me. LOVE YOU POPS
Randomly seen this scrolling after listening to other reaction channels I follow, but this type of reaction is something I haven't seen, from a person who's in tune with their emotions and fully breaking down each verse, new subscriber here👏
First time here 😊 I relate to this song a little it makes me cry everytime cuz his music always comes from the heart and it tells his story and i enjoyed ur reaction keep up the great work 👍🏽🎉 & also ignore the hate comments people on the Internet nowadays get mad over the dumbest things it just shows how immature they are
It's your content it's your channel make it how you want to and those who don't like it can choose not to watch or fast forward don't need to go out of your way to make a timestamp they can find it on their own
Thank you so much for the suggestion and for spending some time here on the channel! Much appreciated. "Bad Husband" - got it. Officially on the list! Thank you, truly!
Great reaction i know that feelings😢 First time i listen to the song while working at the warehouse 1 minute pass had to pause the video had to rush to the bathroom because a tear came out of my eye. 😅
Enjoyed your reaction.. he's a great artist. Seems like he's unafraid to explore all of his emotions and put them into words then put those words to music. Incredible talent and hard work and dedication. One word of advice for you since you seem pretty emotionally open and affected by music... don't ever listen to his song called "Kim" from his 2nd major album.. it's truly terrifying
People are only hating cause you can show real true emotion and aren't afraid to do so. Keep up the good work. Like most things the more of these you do the easier it becomes. 🙂
Idk why you even get hate like that, music should bring people together plus you are just reacting to something you are interested in. There is a lot of learning with understanding lyricism, double entendres or even tripple. Rhyme schemes, inner rhyming. Take your time and the good comments will guide you as well! Great reaction!
Looks like your channels been up a little over a month it will change you'll get the hang of it you'll take constructive criticism and you ignore haters and you'll put your own little twist on it
I think this was one of those songs that sparked the "But Mum, you don't listen to him! if you'd just LISTEN to him!" argument as a teenager, about why it was Ok for me to listen to Eminem hahah... I don't think I really "got it" back then, but whatever it was I "felt it". (Re: internet hate, I've seen the most elegantly spoken, well informed, intelligent opinions given out in reactions and they still get hate for it. You can never win, you can only learn to ignore. Best of luck with channel!)
I could def. see those types of arguments happening. Funny how in my house I can already feel it turning into..."But, son...you just need to LISTEN to him." Thank you so much for taking the time to comment and for checking out the channel. Much appreciated!
Thank you! Hope you got to check out that reaction. Wow...I mean, that song STILL sticks with me. They all do so far at least. Just at a loss really...
Regardless of the camera quality, (I’m sure you’ll get an upgrade soon, find someone who can help ya it’ll be worth it) but regardless… I love how genuine you are great reaction. Keep it up I love how you actually stop and break down the video and are actually listening! You should check out When I’m Gone, Cleaning Out my Closet and the song that he made after Cleaning Out my Closet. It’s called Headlights… sorry for the long comment hope you read it. I just checked your page and see literally the last two are Cleaning Out my Closet and Headlights just got uploaded. Hell yea.
Thank you so much! I hope you had a chance to check out "When I'm Gone" as well. I did do that one and...wow. I mean, just all of them really...wow. Yeah, I'm not working with the best equipment or set up - I'm sorry about that. But, well, I'm broke af. But, I do hope to only improve and hopefully soon! Thanks for hanging in there with me! Much appreciated!
@@FreyaReactsI missed this, but hell yea. I’ve been catching up on all of the videos. No need to apologize love. If I knew anything about making RUclips videos I’d love to help you figure it out financially but hell I don’t know where to start either. One thing I know tho is these Eminem reaction pages really have a chance to blow up. The Eminem “Stans” will never leave you hanging!
@@jamesj1398 Thank you so much! I've already been surprised at the number of folks who genuinely want or like to help explain things to me. It's folk's liike y'all that''ll keep me going here! Much appreciated!
This is a very difficult song to listen to the older it gets. Its also part of the reason emjnem is universally known. This song sounded amazing and meant something different(check out When Im Gone if you havent. Youll cry) when i was younger and listening to it now has a whole new meaning.
Ememem has three sides (especially early in his career) or personaes. There is slim shady who is his more playful, mocking and rude side. Then there is Marshal which is the honest vulnerable raw side. This song is a good example of it. And then there is Ememem which is more his professional and technical side. It also incorporates bits of the other two but not to the same intensity and completeness. It is his side that experiments with techniques and does a lot of cleaver wordplay it also has a different type of emotions then his Marshal side (less vulnerable and with more anger instead of raw rage). This is also his more clear headed introspective side vs his more emotional introspective side that his Marshal side is. Of course as he got older and matured these sides merged a lot into one and now his songs have a bigger mix of the three instead of being primarily just one side. Or have the results of the combination of the three.
This is one of his deepest songs he wrote a yeah it got me tears up when I first listened to it, but it definitely powerful messages this when he tries to open up his verbally he can be as person in his personal life it very great song 🎵 ❤️
It is an amazing song. So powerful and deep and...just everything. Thanks for hanging out a bit. Hope you get a chance to check out the other reactions that are up now! Much appreciated!
If you want to know more about his life before fame another some if "cleaning out my closet" it talks a lot about his childhood and his relationship with his mom and meny of the hardships and issues to do with that. He had a pretty hard life. Went through a lot of things even meny people in the same situation don't go through. There is also a kind of sequel to the song sadly the name of it escapes me right now. It is a bit more mellow and calmer and mature then cleaning out my closet. He has said he regrets making cleaning out my closet which is one of the reasons he made the sequel song. But honestly had he not made cleaning out my closet and gained the catharsis that doing so gave him he may not have matured on the issuse like he did that allowed him to see things in a more mature way and thus couldn't have had the perspective to make the second song (where he makes some amends with his mother). In fact that is true of meny of his songs. Making and releasing them were a way of dealing with the issues allowing him to grow and have better mental abd emotional health thus allowing him to be able to see things better and clearer to then do even more to better his mental and emotional health
Hi there, just found your channel and love your honest opinion on his songs (the Deadpool tops are awesome too) I'm on a reaction binge. Just one small request, would to be able to enable the auto captions on your videos? I'm hearing impaired and sometimes struggle to hear what people are saying on their reactions. Other than that, keep doing what you do, you are doing great. Sending love and peace from UK.
Thank you so much! So glad you're finding some good in what I'm doing here. I thought I had captions enabled but, let me be sure. I also think maybe I just need to talk louder, lol. That may be why auto captions are not generating. I'll get it sorted. Sorry about that.
Lol I crack up when people tell me that there is too much talking aka "reacting" in my reacts. That's what we do. Also, many ppl just don't understand how much you really have to talk, interrupt, how often you must pause...in order to even be able to get a non-monetizable video uploaded without violating copyright. And the goal is to not steal straight-through content, right? So of course you want to change it as much as possible! You are great~ Oh, have you ever thought of pasting the lyrics to the songs you react to in the description or a pinned comment? I see some channels that post remakes/covers and others that do that. Idk if it's something you want to do, maybe some ppl would like to be able to read over them?
Don't worry about what people say. You are a beautiful person. I for one want to hear what you have to say. Just do you and as eminem would say "put a finger on each hand up" and forget about it.
Im gonna give you some advice. The amount of hate you get online as a public person is more than we have evolved to be able to handle. If you find you cant handle it, thats okay. At no point in history has anybody been exposed to as much social rejection as an online personality is exposed to today. If you find that its costing you your mental health, be careful in considering if this the right path for you. Its not for everyone, and I say that in the most respectful way. Health comes first. With that said: I really loved your reaction! It was genuine. So I encourage you! As for the song: good art is relatable, and it relates to the things we keep for ourselves. That is why art matters. It shows we are not alone where we think we are.
Reaction Begins: 3:40
Thank you for stopping in and sharing some time with me!

In my opinion the best way to understand Em, is to go through everything he ever spoke about and rapped that got recorded in chronological order, to see through all aspects of his topics in his music and see how he progressed lyrically through the years... and YES!!! the further thought time you will go, the more you will see more and more wordplays, metaphors and lyrical intricacies, but syllable- rhyme- and rhythmical progression in his music!!! That was happening in general in Rap, but in his specific case it will really help to show you what makes him such a genius and a unique artist!!!

Big facts
I don’t have kids, just a memory of my dad listening to this song and “when I’m gone” while riding back home from my mom’s place. I used to love them when I was 7-8, didn’t understand anything thought. Unfortunately he ended his life when I was 8, and I just can’t imagine what and how he felt while listening to these songs, with me in his car. Must’ve been extremely painful in a way for him.

Saving up $1,000 in the 90's is equivalent to $2,000 today in 2024+
Does not really matter either way. When you are poor, losing 50 dollars can be heartbreaking.

Lainey is actually his ex wife’s sisters daughter( his niece) Stevie is his ex wife’s daughter from another man
He was also at one point legal guardian of his half brother Nathan.
Yep lainey is Alaina and it is Kim's sisters daughter. Kims sister died of an overdose back in the early years of Ems career and he adopted her.
U did great. It's a hard song to do, I also cry, when I hear this, and for 2 reasons.

"I can just relate"
Thats the beauty of lyrical rap
Mockingbird, Headlights and When I'm Gone
Three songs that always remind me of just how much my mom sacrificed to keep us healthy and sane with an abusive father in the house making our lives a living hell day in and day out.
Love ya mom❤
Don't worry about crying to this song. I cry to it all the time.
As someone who couldn't get her mom or brother gifts on Christmas for 3 years in a row, I too, felt like a bum. Even though I was paying bills, I felt like it wasn't enough. So, I got a second job.
Back in the 90s, Kim was ALWAYS on the news. Repeated drug charges.
Its crazy how even over a decade later you can still feel such a connection to this song and the people involved. Im not a parent myself, but ive been there for my mom comforting her when she didnt have enough money to get my brother and i presents for Christmas. It breaks my heart to see parents trying so hard for thier children yet life just keeps knocking them down. And i think Eminem did a great job Conveying the feelings of both the parents perspective and the childs perspective with this song.
As soon you said this will set the tone for the day i was so anxious for you.
Ah, yeah...that was a mistake that day. But beautiful amazing powerful song all the same. Thanks for being here!
i've been watching reaction videos before they were mainstream and I can safely say you are doing great, most don't have nearly the substance ur providing in addition to the video ur reacting to, I really appreciate seeing someone being so open
Thank you so much for that! I appreciate you taking some time to comment and checking out the channel. Glad to hear I'm doing something a least halfway right. lol Much appreciated!
Thank you so much for your great and refreshing way to run your reactions! I actually already LOVE your channel!!! Found it today, and I can't wait to see more of your content!
In my opinion the best way to understand Em, is to go through everything he ever spoke about and rapped that got recorded in chronological order, to see through all aspects of his topics in his music and see how he progressed lyrically through the years... and YES!!! the further thought time you will go, the more you will see more and more wordplays, metaphors and lyrical intricacies, but syllable- rhyme- and rhythmical progression in his music!!! That was happening in general in Rap, but in his specific case it will really help to show you what makes him such a genius and a unique artist!!! And by the way, you can just go on exactly like this. It's YOUR channel, and you should be just yourself and behave in the way you feel most comfortable with😉
Do not think you have to compromise your honesty or originality or anything else because of the bulls*it some dumb asses comment on your videos... I'm really enjoying getting a glimpse into your thoughts and feelings about these songs!
PEACE AND LOVE FROM SWITZERLAND ❤️✌️❤️
It's all good! Really! I've watched this video hundreds times and i still cry everytime, so is ok😊
Keep doing a great job❤
Mammy putting presents under the tree, saying some are from me, hard me every time😢
Argh, that one - straight to the heart- for me.
Thanks for great and sincere reaction
i've been watching reactions from all over the world and found some great ones but, the raw way you do it, thats what was missing at all. cheers from brazil
touched by your back story, thanks for sharing. eminem has so much to say about parental stuff
lol just saw ppl talking about hate... just dont listen to them, for sure. you are great
Thank you so much. No matter how old we are, when this song comes on it strikes an emotional cord that makes us (me) stop, feel this song and rhen shed a tear.
This is therapy that will 4ever be available at the press of a finger, for eternity, and i thank Eminem everytime i listen to this song. 🙏
I absolutely agree -- this song comes from the heart and mind of one to the hearts and minds of many. And... it's a completely different level of bravery and courage to put out something so personal like this - in my humble opinion. But he did and I'm grateful I was able to experience it. Thank you so much for taking some time to comment and checking out the channel. I appreciate it so much!
Loved it
As foster parents my husband and we have a love hate relationship with this song. It hurts but it makes us remember why we foster these children.. so they can sleep without fear, eat without any judgement, and live a happy life. We are going to adopt a little boy, he is 8, he has been thru his mothers divorce, he was given to us when she was imprisoned for drugs.. he is not our blood but god has made him our child.. and he will never see abuse or a hand in his face again..
All that to say i feel you.. i love you..
I could be wrong here but if I remember correctly he has one biological daughter (Hailey) then he also adopted Kim's sisters kid (Lonnie. Not sure the spelling) that Kim was raising for her sister who has/had issues with drugs. Then he I think (and this is the one I am unsure/unclear about and may be wrong about) also adopted a kid Kim had with another guy while they were separated one time. And then he also adopted his much younger brother/half brother (I think his name was Ben? But I am not sure).
He is a very caring and responsible man. He is also a very honest and introspective man and is unafraid on telling how he feels in his music he shares most things about himself in his music good, bad and ugly.
I always tear up listening already and your reaction just adds lol, but lmao the end is my favorite part, like yo I'll do whatever if you fk with my fam
I’ve got to say I’ve seen multiple reactions to this and yours is by far 💯 the most pure when it comes to emotions..I’ve always got a tear in my eyes every single time I hear this song a beautiful reaction and also my first with you..keep it up and if you haven’t yet react to Eminem - When I’m gone
Thank you so much for that! I did get a chance to listen to When I'm gone. Hopefully you get a chance to check that one out. Wow!
Im appreciative of this stirring video 7:08 Freya, a genuine and maternal reaction. It reiterates and reminds us that life is deeply nuanced. Your child could be going through it video taping every occurrence with their eyes, digesting the good, the bad, and the ugly. The parent struggles but their job is to discern their children’s surroundings and prepare to safeguard. This reaction evoked memories & reminded me of my mother & me!
Thats why Eminem is an extraordinary artist. No drugs no bullshit. To raise his children properly was his biggest goal
If you know anything about Em then you know that this comment is bullcrap, he was extremely selfish during a big part when fame first hit him, and he put his family second and drugs and fame first, I give you one point though, he did clean up and get his shit together and learned from his mistakes.
Most people listen back to the ending, whole song is a message. This one hits differently for me never knowing my father and not having kids. He actually does sing in "Hailey's song",definitely worth checking out if you already haven't. Great video!
I found this channel by chance, Good stuff im seeing. Subscribing for sure
Very much appreciate you checking out the channel and for subscribing! Thank you, truly!
Isn’t it crazy how the same person that wrote “Kim” also wrote “Mockingbird”? Em’s talent and ability to adapt and grow is incredible.
100%
The way you speak kind of slower and seem very open and understanding, along with your furniture in the background seem like im at a therapy session 😁 great reaction, love that you are doing this! Keep it up😊
Wonderful reaction video ma'am. Respect and prayers from Pakistan.keep doing you and we are here for you.🙏
Thanks so much! Very much appreciated!
That video was great, ignore the haters. Please react to 'When I'm Gone' by Eminem, it reveals more about his personal life and struggles as a working parent
Beautiful reaction❤❤
Loved your reaction 😊❤keep it up🎉
Thank you so much
thank you for appreciating the song. Whether or not you like eminem, there's always something that you can connect to in his songs, especially the ones where he talks about his struggles.
Eminem Stans are crazy n there are a lot of them me included im sorry lol but there are good stans out there. idk why they would hate on your last reaction it was great, u vibed out to the GOAT. Another great reaction to Eminem keep it up :)
Thank you so much for some positivity! It's folks like you that will keep me going on this whole channel thing. So very much appreciated!
7:47 i know this all too well. I had a very abusive traumatizing childhood, at the hands of my step dad, and my real dad wasn't around. It has made me very empathic and connected to children, especially children without the proper foundation that they need and deserve. My abuse and trauma has messed me up permanently for the rest of my life. Im very mentally ill to the point of being disabled permanently, and ive become a borderline alcoholic. I hope that never, ever happens to any other child and I'll always do anything in my power to protect kids.
You really connected with this. Your reaction game is top tier. React to "Cleaning out my closet" (diss to mom) followed by "Headlights" (apology to mom)
Thank you for making this day a bit brighter! I appreciate you taking time to check out the channel, for hanging out with me for a bit and for your suggestions (officially on the list!) It's y'all that will keep me going on this channel! Much appreciated!
Love your reactions... You get into the feels... Subbed!
My first time watching…I don’t have the nerve to even have a Facebook…I’ll watch it…it came out when I was in highschool
this is a song that really hit home to me my parents were broke when i was a kid. i lived in the ghetto of denver our nieghborhood was called the knife and gun club by the pd. drive bys in our hood atleast once a month. my dad was never home cause he was a long haul truck driver. i was beat up being one of few white kids in school. later in life we moved out of that place and back to a smaller town my dad graduated high school. but from my freshman year on my dad was always home took another job to watch me play sports or take me fishing, hunting, i understand now about to turn 40 myself my dad made alot of sacrificing for the family and tell this day my dad is here for me. LOVE YOU POPS
Randomly seen this scrolling after listening to other reaction channels I follow, but this type of reaction is something I haven't seen, from a person who's in tune with their emotions and fully breaking down each verse, new subscriber here👏
Thank you so much for being here! Much appreciated
First time here 😊 I relate to this song a little it makes me cry everytime cuz his music always comes from the heart and it tells his story and i enjoyed ur reaction keep up the great work 👍🏽🎉 & also ignore the hate comments people on the Internet nowadays get mad over the dumbest things it just shows how immature they are
Absolutely loved your reaction. I hope you have a great day! ❤
awesome. Excellent as i expected, keep it up 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻. Eminem writes with his soul, untouchable
Really loved your reaction. New sub here. Hate often overshadows the compliments, but nothing but love from me. Please keep the Eminem coming :) ❤
Thank you so much! I appreciate you being here and taking some time to comment. Much appreciated.
Your reactions are beautiful. Amazing
Thank you so much!! And thanks for hangin out with me a bit!
Thank you for your reaction.
Stay strong and keep pushing.
Hugs from Brazil.
Thank you so much!!
It's your content it's your channel make it how you want to and those who don't like it can choose not to watch or fast forward don't need to go out of your way to make a timestamp they can find it on their own
Haven't watched the video yet, but that is a dope ass intro 🤙
Please do “bad husband” it’s similar to this but it’s basically an apology to his ex wife Kim.. you won’t be disappointed 😊
Thank you so much for the suggestion and for spending some time here on the channel! Much appreciated. "Bad Husband" - got it. Officially on the list! Thank you, truly!
Great reaction i know that feelings😢
First time i listen to the song while working at the warehouse 1 minute pass had to pause the video had to rush to the bathroom because a tear came out of my eye.
😅
U seem so nice. Subscribed immediately 👍 ONE LOVE ❤️

If they are hating in the comments ignore it,I know its hard, but they still clicked and commented. Keep doing you, nice reaction.
COME BACK WHEN YOU CAN. WE MISS YOU
top 5 favorite Em song for me and been listening from start
Enjoyed your reaction.. he's a great artist. Seems like he's unafraid to explore all of his emotions and put them into words then put those words to music. Incredible talent and hard work and dedication. One word of advice for you since you seem pretty emotionally open and affected by music... don't ever listen to his song called "Kim" from his 2nd major album.. it's truly terrifying
Love your reactions
Don’t pay any attention to negative comments, you’re great !
Thank you so much for the positivity! I appreciate you!
I want to say so many things but I can't make sense of it all, all I'll say is that you remind me of my momma and you're a badass
People are only hating cause you can show real true emotion and aren't afraid to do so. Keep up the good work. Like most things the more of these you do the easier it becomes. 🙂
Idk why you even get hate like that, music should bring people together plus you are just reacting to something you are interested in. There is a lot of learning with understanding lyricism, double entendres or even tripple. Rhyme schemes, inner rhyming. Take your time and the good comments will guide you as well! Great reaction!
Looks like your channels been up a little over a month it will change you'll get the hang of it you'll take constructive criticism and you ignore haters and you'll put your own little twist on it
great reaction keep them comming
Thank you very much for that! Glad to hear I'm doing something halfway right here...lol
I think this was one of those songs that sparked the "But Mum, you don't listen to him! if you'd just LISTEN to him!" argument as a teenager, about why it was Ok for me to listen to Eminem hahah... I don't think I really "got it" back then, but whatever it was I "felt it". (Re: internet hate, I've seen the most elegantly spoken, well informed, intelligent opinions given out in reactions and they still get hate for it. You can never win, you can only learn to ignore. Best of luck with channel!)
I could def. see those types of arguments happening. Funny how in my house I can already feel it turning into..."But, son...you just need to LISTEN to him." Thank you so much for taking the time to comment and for checking out the channel. Much appreciated!
The song when I’m gone is a good one as well
Thank you! Hope you got to check out that reaction. Wow...I mean, that song STILL sticks with me. They all do so far at least. Just at a loss really...
Regardless of the camera quality, (I’m sure you’ll get an upgrade soon, find someone who can help ya it’ll be worth it) but regardless… I love how genuine you are great reaction. Keep it up I love how you actually stop and break down the video and are actually listening! You should check out When I’m Gone, Cleaning Out my Closet and the song that he made after Cleaning Out my Closet. It’s called Headlights… sorry for the long comment hope you read it.
I just checked your page and see literally the last two are Cleaning Out my Closet and Headlights just got uploaded. Hell yea.
Thank you so much! I hope you had a chance to check out "When I'm Gone" as well. I did do that one and...wow. I mean, just all of them really...wow.
Yeah, I'm not working with the best equipment or set up - I'm sorry about that. But, well, I'm broke af. But, I do hope to only improve and hopefully soon! Thanks for hanging in there with me! Much appreciated!
@@FreyaReactsI missed this, but hell yea. I’ve been catching up on all of the videos. No need to apologize love. If I knew anything about making RUclips videos I’d love to help you figure it out financially but hell I don’t know where to start either.
One thing I know tho is these Eminem reaction pages really have a chance to blow up. The Eminem “Stans” will never leave you hanging!
@@jamesj1398 Thank you so much! I've already been surprised at the number of folks who genuinely want or like to help explain things to me. It's folk's liike y'all that''ll keep me going here! Much appreciated!
This is a very difficult song to listen to the older it gets. Its also part of the reason emjnem is universally known. This song sounded amazing and meant something different(check out When Im Gone if you havent. Youll cry) when i was younger and listening to it now has a whole new meaning.
You gotta do “when I’m gone” “headlights” “hailes song”
Thank you! Officially on the list! I appreciate you taking some time to check out the channel and for your suggestion!
Love the reaction ❤. More please 🙏.
Your such a sweetheart god bless you
will always love the end the most
Definitely loved that little end note too!
'When you thought I wasnt looking' is a great book for some parents
Yep - they see it all. Thank you.
Thx for the reaction hope you keep it up
Thank you. I'm in it now...I don't think there's any turning back...lol
Ememem has three sides (especially early in his career) or personaes. There is slim shady who is his more playful, mocking and rude side. Then there is Marshal which is the honest vulnerable raw side. This song is a good example of it. And then there is Ememem which is more his professional and technical side. It also incorporates bits of the other two but not to the same intensity and completeness. It is his side that experiments with techniques and does a lot of cleaver wordplay it also has a different type of emotions then his Marshal side (less vulnerable and with more anger instead of raw rage). This is also his more clear headed introspective side vs his more emotional introspective side that his Marshal side is. Of course as he got older and matured these sides merged a lot into one and now his songs have a bigger mix of the three instead of being primarily just one side. Or have the results of the combination of the three.
Ok so I was just scrolling and saw your video and I was thoroughly impressed with you
Thank you so much! Appreciate you stopping and hangin out with me a bit! Much appreciated!
@@FreyaReacts you're welcome 😁 I actually subscribed after watching
@@stevenrandolph6798 That's awesome! Thank you!
@@FreyaReacts you're very welcome
That intro was so cool.
This is one of his deepest songs he wrote a yeah it got me tears up when I first listened to it, but it definitely powerful messages this when he tries to open up his verbally he can be as person in his personal life it very great song 🎵 ❤️
It is an amazing song. So powerful and deep and...just everything. Thanks for hanging out a bit. Hope you get a chance to check out the other reactions that are up now! Much appreciated!
If you want to know more about his life before fame another some if "cleaning out my closet" it talks a lot about his childhood and his relationship with his mom and meny of the hardships and issues to do with that. He had a pretty hard life. Went through a lot of things even meny people in the same situation don't go through. There is also a kind of sequel to the song sadly the name of it escapes me right now. It is a bit more mellow and calmer and mature then cleaning out my closet. He has said he regrets making cleaning out my closet which is one of the reasons he made the sequel song. But honestly had he not made cleaning out my closet and gained the catharsis that doing so gave him he may not have matured on the issuse like he did that allowed him to see things in a more mature way and thus couldn't have had the perspective to make the second song (where he makes some amends with his mother). In fact that is true of meny of his songs. Making and releasing them were a way of dealing with the issues allowing him to grow and have better mental abd emotional health thus allowing him to be able to see things better and clearer to then do even more to better his mental and emotional health
Another one is "Hailey's Song".
Thank you so much! I got a chance to listen to Hailie's Song. Hopefully you get a chance to check it out. Loved it!
Do what you love… nothing else matters
Hi there, just found your channel and love your honest opinion on his songs (the Deadpool tops are awesome too) I'm on a reaction binge.
Just one small request, would to be able to enable the auto captions on your videos?
I'm hearing impaired and sometimes struggle to hear what people are saying on their reactions.
Other than that, keep doing what you do, you are doing great. Sending love and peace from UK.
Thank you so much! So glad you're finding some good in what I'm doing here. I thought I had captions enabled but, let me be sure. I also think maybe I just need to talk louder, lol. That may be why auto captions are not generating. I'll get it sorted. Sorry about that.
F da haters u r doin Gr8👌🙏 thanks
you doing great :) dont listen to haters
GREAT REACTIONS 😎
Eminem: Bad husband
You will feel it.
Lol I crack up when people tell me that there is too much talking aka "reacting" in my reacts. That's what we do. Also, many ppl just don't understand how much you really have to talk, interrupt, how often you must pause...in order to even be able to get a non-monetizable video uploaded without violating copyright. And the goal is to not steal straight-through content, right? So of course you want to change it as much as possible! You are great~
Oh, have you ever thought of pasting the lyrics to the songs you react to in the description or a pinned comment? I see some channels that post remakes/covers and others that do that. Idk if it's something you want to do, maybe some ppl would like to be able to read over them?
This reaction is great 👍 keep up the good work 👏
Thank you so, so much!
New subscriber here, loved it!
Thanks for the sub! Much appreciated!
Don't worry about what people say. You are a beautiful person. I for one want to hear what you have to say. Just do you and as eminem would say "put a finger on each hand up" and forget about it.
Thank you so much! For the comment and the smile that made me think back to that line!
I recommend Criminal Minds JJ Hostage Negotioator. As a parent this one will totally hit you.
Im gonna give you some advice. The amount of hate you get online as a public person is more than we have evolved to be able to handle. If you find you cant handle it, thats okay. At no point in history has anybody been exposed to as much social rejection as an online personality is exposed to today. If you find that its costing you your mental health, be careful in considering if this the right path for you. Its not for everyone, and I say that in the most respectful way. Health comes first. With that said: I really loved your reaction! It was genuine. So I encourage you! As for the song: good art is relatable, and it relates to the things we keep for ourselves. That is why art matters. It shows we are not alone where we think we are.
