One of his BEST!🔥When I saw him live, Eminem dedicated 'Sing For The Moment' to David Smith - one of his young Irish fans who died the night before from cancer - Eminem had given him tickets for the show 💔 R.I.P. Em got choked up but got massive respect from the Irish crowd.👏 'Oxegen Festival' 2010, in Ireland It was the first time I'd seen Em live - UNBELIEVABLE! I've seen him 3 times - Oxegen, Tenants Vital (NI) and also at Slane Castle Ireland. He is one of the best live artists I've seen - OUTSTANDING! Peace to all the 'Stans' - from Ireland 💚
Ems way of describing things is what makes him great in my mind. He makes you understand his point view. you can picture the entire scenario as if you were the one thinking it even when its not relatable to you he makes it relatable. I have yet to find another rapper that does the same thing for me.
Rock and rap shouldn't give you angry thoughts you never had, they should give you an avenue to vent and safely clear and work through the angry thoughts you had already. It's an acknowledgement and a release mechanism, especially in teenagers and young adults, who are being overwhelmed by new emotions and pressures and can't even process or understand them sometimes, without a musician sometimes nailing exactly how they were feeling.
I know this was 2 years ago but random fun fact: Stephen Tyler and Joe Perry of aerosmith actually both rerecorded parts specifically for this version of the song -- it's not just sampled. They also performed it live together at the rock and roll hall of fame
The lyrics in Sing for the Moment are so well written. It's one of those songs you play your parents, when you want to win them over that his songs are really smart, even if they're put off by some of the image and boisterousness.
This is one of the songs that really spoke to me as a kid, don't know how many times I've cried and screamed along to the lyrics just to get it all out. So many years and I still get goosebumps from it! 😍
Em Is fasho The Goat Of Hip Hop Forever! The 3rd Verse is my favorite motivational verse/emotionally driven Em verse of All Time! You finally see why we support this man through thick & thin he’s inspirational and has been through alot👊🏽🐐✨💯(He's basically saying that whatever might be going on in your life, you can use music as a refuge. “That's why we sing for these kids, who don't have a thing / Except for a dream, and a fuckin' rap magazine” Adding to this he adresses those who criticize him for being a bad influence on kids and says that if his music means something to kids going through tough times, then it's all worth it. “Or for anyone who's ever been through shit in their lives / Till they sit and they cry at night wishin' they'd die / Till they throw on a rap record and they sit, and they vibe / We're nothin' to you but we're the fuckin' shit in they eyes” In Dream On by Aerosmith, Steven Tyler is essentially saying that you shouldn't give up on your dreams and that you should 'Seize the moment'. Another familiar theme explored by Eminem. You should 'Lose yourself in the moment' because you never know if you'll get another chance tomorrow. “Sing with me, sing for the years, sing for the laughter, sing for the tears, Sing it with me, just for today, maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take you away...” I think it's nice how he links the meaning of these two songs together.)
Gen X here...Dream on was already a BANGER to us growing up and to combine it with Em's Rapping talent, SHEER PERFECTION 🤌 His pen game, flow switches, rhyming, delivery AND his authenticity, was STRAIGHT 🔥🔥🔥 I LOVE how aggressively he attacks this song, goosebumps EVERYWHERE 😂 Loved it 🙏🏼
Brilliant reaction Daniel!!! This is one of my all time favourite tracks - I remember when it was released, it blew me away - and still does 20 years later!!! And yeah, if you ever get to go to an Em show, it’s next level! I’ve seen him once when he came to Scotland years ago and it was epic! (Second only to a tøp gig!) He hardly tours now though (even before covid) and almost stopped touring completely when he was bringing up his 3 daughters and Nate. Not Afraid is another great track that’s very uplifting! Loving your Eminem journey!
The "he hardly tours" just isnt true lmao He has been touring every single year from like 2010-2019 with the exception of maybe 2015, he only stopped once COVID came in
Because of all the negative press Em got, he literally had a sign at his concert with yearly statistics for rape, murder, robbery etc. At the bottom, it said Eminem committed none of these! I thought it was genius!
It's a classic your lucky you came from a good family, Em had a really hard life but he kept on fighting his way up , check out lose yourself Em won an Oscar for that song he's the Goat 🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐
Dude, I've been watching a lot of reaction videos to this song. It was a song I grew up with and it means a lot to me. Your reaction to it is fantastic man. Seeing certain parts hit you the ways they did for me back in the day was great. Thanks for sharing man!
I think one concept no-one has ever clicked onto is using Dream On by Aerosmith as a backing because the lyrics state "...brainwashed from Rock and Rap..."
Only 4 mins in and already loving your reaction/breakdown. Idk bout others but ima fam of longer reactions. To me it's the whole point of watching reactions...to get raw thoughts aloud as they come to mind not how some reactors do like hold their thoughts in or don't want to keep stopping. Please, stop, share your thoughts.... which YOU do and I appreciate that. The last thing I want to do is watch someone listen to a whole song all way thru then at the end say "Good song, thanks for the request, see you next time". AND YOU LISTEN! Idk how you catch as many bars as you do listening to it for the 1st time w/o lyrics in front of you but you be catching em....and not only do you catch them but you acknowledge em. Keep up the good work
I really appreciate that. It is extremely nice to hear someone appreciate the pauses and thoughts/comments, cause I totally agree with you, what is the point of a reaction video to just sit there and bob your head and then end the video. Thanks for the love!
New Sub here. I recently stumbled on your channel while watching other Em reaction videos. (Suggestion, pull up the lyrics on your phone or something to follow along while watching. (It’s easy to miss lyrics with Em) I came up in the early days of Em so I LIVED through all his references. Despite u not “getting” a lot of them, I really like your fresh reactions (especially in hearing about your fairly strict upbringing), and I can’t wait to see more
so i think in your first Eminem reaction you said you'd heard Lose Yourself before but i think it'd be interesting, now that you're becoming much more familiar with him as a person and an artist and his story, if you listened to Lose Yourself again to see it from this new perspective y'know? just an idea = )
Brutal and epic song for the history... Great reaction!!! Please react to Atlantic extended version video or black burning heart by KEANE... Pure poetry!!!
This is my favourite Marshall song of all time I fucking love it and like you find it so relatable. It comes after he settles a court case regarding him allegedly hitting a man called Guerra in the face with a handgun after he saw him kissing his ex wife Kim mathers. (Hence the line you’re full of shit too guerra, that was a fist that hit you) a lot of the media at the time portrayed Em as a bad role model who would encourage kids to use guns and become violent it’s kind of his response saying he can’t help it if kids relate to his lyrics and it’s about the music and the words and the feelings these records give them not necessarily that they all want to become gangsters. So many awesome lyrics in it and particularly that last verse is just utter perfection! I have been waiting for your reaction on this one! 💙
Reference for u… “You're full of sh!t too, Guerrera, that was a fist that hit you”… Em was arrested for allegedly pistol whipping a man named John Guerra with an unloaded gun, after Em said he saw Guerra kissing Kim (his wife at the time)
The chorus and a lot of the instrumental is taken from the Aerosmith song "Dream On." Which is a song you should absolutely do!!! One of the all time great rock songs then Em took it and made an incredible rap for the a newer generation.
Using parts of 'Dream On', Aerosmith song. Do you know that song? Review it if you don't. Please. Can you imagine memorizing (remembering) all these lyrics.
The irony here is that the only bit 'banned' in my house was 'black music' when I was a child but then by the time I was a teenager oh that was fine cause my parents met actual black kids at school and that was okay cause "Oh they aren't all gang bangers" and now my sister lives with a black man who is literally right now over to watch TV with us and they seem to forget how they gave me shit for liking the rap music my friends did in the late 90s/early 00s. I am HAPPY about this don't get me wrong! But the selective memory is staggering. They have matching nose rings and tattoos and I was always told I could NEVER EVER get a facial piercing or tattoo and now they seem to forget instilling that on me. I'm glad they no longer feel that way but something that when I was growing up in the 90s was instilled in me constantly being something they 'don't remember' 20 years later. Hmmmmmm.
I grew up with parents that tried to sensor what I listen to. They would brake my CDs. I removed when this song came out and how much I felt it so much. As a parent now I don’t sensor what they listen to. I understand how listening to a song on repeat can help you work through your feelings and emotions. Love what you do.
The sample is Aerosmith "Dream on" a masterpiece on it's own and then Em turns it in to an even bigger masterpiece 🔥
This song is forever in my top 5
100%. Very rare to take a classic and turn it into a new classic in a whole different genre.
❤😊😊❤❤

You’re so fortunate to experience The Greatest Rapper Of All Time!🙇🏽♂️🐐✨💯

The way eminem writes truly is beautiful ❤
And like Fiffy said, one day they'll say a wise man wrote this. Fact. But Em just spazzed on this. Great sample and GOAT lyricism.
Rock and rap shouldn't give you angry thoughts you never had, they should give you an avenue to vent and safely clear and work through the angry thoughts you had already.
It's an acknowledgement and a release mechanism, especially in teenagers and young adults, who are being overwhelmed by new emotions and pressures and can't even process or understand them sometimes, without a musician sometimes nailing exactly how they were feeling.
I love this song. Alot of the music was sampled from Aerosmith

The way he can bend words is nuts. One of my all time favourite rap songs ever.

@@suffireaxbeautiful is the one he wrote first half in rehab and the other half after rehab, also produced by himself, definitely worth check out imo
@@suffireax thats a great song make sure to listen to the full or extended version.. the music video doesn't include the last verse

Brutal and epic song for the history...
Great reaction!!!
Please react to Atlantic extended version video or black burning heart by KEANE...

King of rap
Top 5 Em song... LOVE THIS
Reference for u… “You're full of sh!t too, Guerrera, that was a fist that hit you”… Em was arrested for allegedly pistol whipping a man named John Guerra with an unloaded gun, after Em said he saw Guerra kissing Kim (his wife at the time)
Ohhhhhh got it, that makes a lot more sense, thank you for clarifying
Eminem space bound
The chorus and a lot of the instrumental is taken from the Aerosmith song "Dream On." Which is a song you should absolutely do!!! One of the all time great rock songs then Em took it and made an incredible rap for the a newer generation.
This is sampling Aerosmith - Dream On. Credit is due where credit is due.
50 was on the stage with him that's his one homie
My mom's like this! She wound up with a bisexual daughter for her troubles haha!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

🔥😌✌🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
React to give me love by ed sheeran pls

I love this song. Check out Lose Yourself if you haven't. I think everyone can connect to that one.
Is it time for ‘Tool - The Pot’ yet?
You need to react to dream on, it's so good
I grew up with parents that tried to sensor what I listen to. They would brake my CDs. I removed when this song came out and how much I felt it so much. As a parent now I don’t sensor what they listen to. I understand how listening to a song on repeat can help you work through your feelings and emotions. Love what you do.
Thank your Parents they kept you sheltered from all this music so you could capitalize on it later on
That’s an intro of a Aerosmith?
Ultimately what you described is why you can’t genuinely relate…although sounds like you were abused in a different way…religion
"secular" *googles...huh.. interesting*
I hope you at least know Aerosmiths "Dream On".. a legendary song.
That I do, for sure
