      I completely understand. Me and my mother are building our relationship back up. She's there for me it took 2 years and my favorite cousin's piece of crap significant other, taking advantage of me. Then accidentally blessing me with My Little Man. Then a relationship with a newborn bitch. To save My Little Man and myself, from the abuse. Now I'm trying to build myself up so I can get my own place, for My Little Man and myself. I'm also mentally disabled. So I got a few struggles I'm trying to break free from. I'm also working on writing a book kinda sorta a biography about myself but I want to do it private. I hope one day I could help people and or children to battle their struggles and also help prevent suicide. It really does destroy the family.

      You are what a Man should really be if you stick to your children. Nowadays the question of what a Man is becomes more and more important, but at the end of the day it's the very basics that should matter no matter how you do this and with whom. Be a Father, a guide and caretaker but also emotionally connected to your kids. be soft to your kids and not just the hard tough guy. Stay with them and make sure they are Ok no matter what. no matter if you do it alone or if they are biologically yours or adopted. To stand with them and be there is what being a parent means and what a Man with children should be.
      Keep being there. :)

    Shows incredible maturity. Eminem's growing. My parents were heroin addicts, I didn't talk to them for over 30 years. But I made peace within two years of both of them dying. Best thing I ever did. That's what this reminds me of. Good for M&M. It's about growing and maturing, and taking care of yourself in the end. Hafta remember the scars but rise above it

    Em is the reason im still alive hands down. Been through it, I grew up raising my little brothers and watching my mother battle severe addiction. There have been many times when I thought there was no way out and I would hit that mental wall, that breaking point of reflecting and trying to understand "WHY" and everything that follows. I respect the way you take the time to let us know your truth and how it hits you. But also THANK YOU SLIM for helping me make it through the hardest and the best years of my life. Growing up with you has been indescribable.

    This is one of my favourites off of The Marshall Mathers LP 2, and it's such a heartwarming song to Em's mom. Even though they had some ups and downs, at the end, he still loves her no matter what, and it's amazing how Em was able to mature that much to be able to forgive his mom like this. The end really hit me hard, since they parted ways after hugging, and it'll be a while before they can be reunited again, but he'll love her from far away, even if they can't be together for a while. And the crazy thing is, he released this song and video on Mother's Day of 2014. I hope his mom saw this not gonna lie

  • @natnirv
    @natnirv 3 года назад +40

    The line "Now the medication's taking over and your mental state's deteriorating slow and I'm way too old to cry, this shit is painful! But Ma, I forgive you", if I replace Ma with Dad I can literally relate to that sentiment. This song got to me in a very deep and personal level the first time I heard it. But now that my father is gone and I couldn't say goodbye and tell him that my brother and I loved and forgave him... man, it breaks my heart and I can't help but cry. Eminem always knows better than anyone how to express the most raw and real emotions.
    I'm sorry this got to you as well because of your personal experience. Sending you my love, Knox.

Coming from a dysfunctional childhood & divorced parents & a dad who didn’t want me since birth, I understand that feeling at the end where you got tearful. It’s hard. Me & my mom butted heads badly bc she always choose men over her kids & I never understood them but my mom has always been sick with cancer & couldn’t work & needed someone to support her. & now she’s not got long to live from this round of cancer & she tells me everyday that she needs me now. It’s so tough but that’s my mom.

Sadly, my Mom passed away in 2017, but I'm glad we made amends and were on better terms with each other before her passing. Ladies and gentlemen! Life's too short to seriously let the small shit and BS drama, get in your way of your relationship with friends and family. Once they're gone (you and I included), it's over and done. Nothing is worse, than living without closure. I know that through a personal experience with my Dad, who passed away in 2001.

    I felt every word he said in this song too, i had a terrible relationship with my mom, my dad passed in 1998 and that after there divorce but before his death, sent me on a depression that is still ongoing to this day, i was 6 when my parents got divorced, and then when he passed in 1998, my heart broke. like it shattered.. then 11 years passed and everything seemed to be gettin a little betytyer, although my mother had made me homeless at 16, me and my mom had such a toxic relationshipm that by the time she passed in 2006, in a hospice, the same day beforew she passed, i went to see her. and spoke to her, but we both got enraged and i basically condemned her to die and said i didnt care that she wont be here no more, my life would be better off without her.... it isnt. i miss her more then i ever thought. and when em says "I will always love you from afar, 'cause you're my mom". i break down. and i thank her every time now, and apologise. now im not a religeous person, i believe once your dead, thats it your done. and it hurts me knowing that i can NEVER apologise to her and ask for forgiveness for my actions and the words i spoke.

    As a 42 yr old who lost his mom at 14, I can say that your mom just may be the most important person in your life. It's been 28 yrs since she left but I still think of her and look to her on a daily basis. I obviously never hear from her but I know she hears my calls to her when I'm down and out. Never ever disrespect your moms. If everyone leaves you out in the cold, she will always be there for you. And that's the realest love you'll ever know.

    Day 2 of requesting Bad guy by Eminem

    It's a pity that the music-video cuts off the last parts of Nate's verse. It's so beautiful and the lyrics "I want a new life, one without a cause" ... damn, those always hit me even if the rest of the song occasionally leaves me dry-eyed.
    I like this song a lot. This and "Bad Husband" are, for me personally, the most "mature" songs he has put out. Not that he's got no mature content otherwise (and I mean it not in the x-rated meaning of "mature" - which, of course, he has, too 🤭) but Headlights and Bad Husband show the difference between being an angry twenty-something-punk with LOADS of issues and a forty-something-punk with still a lot of issues but better overall balance and understanding.
    It's why I always laugh internally when people say that rap is a young man's game... Bullshit. It's different subjects and different perspectives than a young guy would have on life, but that doesn'T mean there's no room for rap-content just because you get older. It's not like you drop dead the moment you turn forty! There's still life to live and things to get pissed about.
    Also, I agree to all the comments begging for "Bad Guy". In general, I'd love more songs from MMLP2 to appear on your reaction-list.

  • @Wolfbeta3774
    @Wolfbeta3774 Год назад +5

    I don't know why the end verse from Nate wasn't put in because it's truly my favorite part and puts a different weight to the song, on Em's soul. It makes me cry but also start of lifts me in a cathartic way. Like an invasive thought finally being expressed.. Headlights is such an emotionally raw and personal story being shared that is something so universally shared. This song has always touched me.. I cried with you watching you share the emotional ride. Although I hoped to see your reaction to Nate Russ' final verse.
    Have you ever heard the song Beautiful by Eminem?

    @shemhamjapheth 3 года назад +1

    Your analysis is spot on. I have been through similar circumstances with my father, mother, and sister. Eminem helped me through a lot as a teenager. I had lots of problems with my mom. My father was never really there for me growing up, and I always blamed my mom or myself for why he wasn’t around. That eventually built up to a point when my kids were very young and I stopped talking to my mom for about a year. Then one night driving in the car, It seems like forever ago now, “Headlights” came on the radio, and I had to pull the car over and cried for a bit. All the hate I had in my heart for the struggles I had to endure growing up; the physical and emotional scars I have carried all these years where no longer on my mom. She had done her best and sacrificed much for herself to make sure my sister and I had what we needed. Our relationship since has never been stronger. I’ve been lucky enough to be able to not let more than a few days pass without calling her to tell her I love her and that she’s special. I will urge anyone that has problems with their parents to please do some inner reflecting and make a amends. It’s well worth it.

    This song always makes me cry.
    My dad was not a good dad and when I was 16 I cut ties with him (I have the best mom).
    However when I got pregnant I made the decission that my son should have the chance to know his granddad - and things were good for years, but when my son was 8 my dad started doing the same shit to my son as he did to me: breaking promises, ignoring him, making it obvious to my son that he wasn’t important enough to him any longer.
    And that pissed me off and I cut ties with him again, because nobody is treating my son that way!
    Once in a while people will ask me if I will let him back into our lifes again if he apologises and I just say no, because I gave him that ladt chance once and he blew it.
    But I still miss having a dad.....

    I really like your reaction, I'm sure, slowly but surely your RUclips will continue to grow .. Keep reacting to classy rap music like this. Greetings from me, from Indonesian🙏🏻🙏🏻
    I'm going to tell you the differences about Marshall Mathers, Slim Shady and Eminem.
    And here is the difference
    *Marhsall Mathers: Makes you cry*
    Sometimes his dark life story is very much related to us in the real life (about love, family, children, about the cruelty of the world, or about whatever it is)
    Like the songs Mockingbird, When I'm Gone, Your Never Over, Going Through Changes, Sing For The Moment, Like Toys Soldiers, Rock Bottom, and many more..
    FYI: That the Rock Bottom song was made when he had not met Dr. Dre & was not well known, it was said that when he made the song Em had thought about suicide but Em did not give up and Rap saved him so he can become what he is now
    *Slim Shady: Makes you laugh*
    Slim Shady is cast with a blonde man who is grumpy & sometimes makes us laugh but a little crazy, controversial words and the diss song is very cruel
    Like the songs Nail In The Coffin & Bully (Diss Benzino & Ja Rule), Superman & The Warning (Diss Mariah Carey & Nick), The Real Slim Shady & Without Me (Diss Christina Aguilera, Limp Bizkit, & Moby), Cleanin Out My Closet (Diss his Mother), Leaving Heaven (Diss his Father)
    FYI: The song Leaving Heaven was made by Em because he was very disappointed and hated his father because until his father died he did not give a good impression since Em was a child and Em also said he was too fucking coward to never see his grankids, Hailie and the other kids
    Eminem: Make you Think
    Eminem often makes songs to motivate many people or people who have felt like the life that Em lived
    Like the song Lose Yourself, Not Afraid, Guts Over Fear, Beautiful, Beautiful Pain, Till I Collapse And More
    FYI: Many people feel helped or excited after hearing the songs
    Ohyaaa.. And one more thing, Marshall Mathers, Slim Shady, and Eminem It lives in the same body

    Only comments - to add my thoughts to your wonderful breakdown is - you called his references to his mother in songs like Cleaning out my closet - revenge.
    I see it differently
    It’s a strong expression to anger and pain and hurt
    It’s like he’s going through the stages of grief for his childhood unhappiness and trauma
    This is not revenge but pouring his deepest hurt and pain in an angry flow. As one of the stages of grief. Not from spite.
    Only thing is it’s not done in a journal, private diary or therapy session.
    And now lives forever digitally.
    This is the unfortunate thing when you have a public and global platform for expression
    You can paint yourself into a place that you can’t escape from
    Even when you change. Evolve out of it. And move on.
    Or ready for some kind of truce or reconciliation. Also one of the stages of grief
    The world will keep reminding you. Asking you. Digging up old stories. Old wounds and conflicts.
    So unfortunate. Cause now it’s now public property in a sense.
    A good lesson to all of us about what we choose to make public. And how it can forever haunt us.
    On a final note - what an inspiration this artist is. To us all. I hope he’s found his way to peace of mind and heart and healing.
    And Knox - you are brilliant and amazing. And a joy to listen to no matter the topic or subject. Thanks for all you do and I am rooting for phenomenal success that you so deserve.

    I still remember the first time I heard this song. Up north in Finnish lapland, taking my (now past) dog for a walk in December '17. -22C, cloudless night. This song surprised me and I put it on repeat to disect it all. I walked with my girl for two hours in the dark, moonlit snowy forrest and the ice covered lake. I was in awe how matured Em sounds, like he's gone through his hell and realising that time is valuable, and hate eats you alive. So he made a whole beautiful song to tell his mother and the world that he was also wrong and that he still has his mother at his heart.
    It shows that in the end we are all humans and that time heals some of the wounds.
    One of my absolute favorites of his songs.
