Proof was playing Bugz, different member of d12 that died. That song is from Encore 2004. Proof died in 2006 and got shot same as Bugz, so the video is looking like Eminem predict the future.
Michael Jurrien 40 oz is the songs name I think that’s where he says something along the lines of your gonna have too kill me in the club or something like that
"In the year after [Proof] died," Eminem said in a his memoir The Way I Am, "I would stare at the ceiling and think about that video. Did karma cause that to happen in real life? Did I? You always want to point the finger at somebody else when something like that happens, you know?"
This is part of why Stans be the way they are about Em. The man went through real sh*t like this and expressed it in his music. Then you have people listen to a few of his crazy songs and disrespect him for having no content, while they haven't actually taken the time to dig deeper. Em is very human and for that he's very relatable, even to a black dude from SA like myself. Great song to review!
How’s nobody in this comments talking about you interviewing Hop casually like that?? Lmao that’s dope bro. Good looks man. Glad to see you movin up so quickly my g
I hope you never have to understand the pain that hes rapping about. Losing a close friend like that is extremely painful. Ive experienced the pain. I watched my friend get shot in front of me with no power to stop it. Ive also had a few friends commit suicide and that isnt really any easier to deal with. It fucked me up for a while and even nearly caused me a relapse with the pills i had been clean from for almost 4 years when he was killed
Let's not forget, Proof is playing Bugz, in this video. Mekhi Phifer plays Bugz in the movie 8 mile. His friend Bugz got killed. The movie gives alot of details on Em's life.
10:29-13:58 *Eminem even said before that he doesn’t even watch this video anymore because what happened to Proof.* *Also in the SONG “Arose” Eminem said he can’t even watch his OLD VIDEOS of Tours anymore because Proof was Em’s Hype Man on all the OLD TOURS.* 😔 R.I.P. Proof
RIP 🙏 I used to listen to all of Proofs music and to this day in 2021 I still love Proofs music and Eminem was his best friend 😢 I can relate to this song because I lost one of my best friends over a drug overdose 💔 😪
Ok so Proof is playing Bugz, a rapper friend of Em that died, Eminem was worried that his beefs would cause more of his friends getting killed so he made this song, and Proof later dies from a club shooting, trust me this song gives chills down the spine of every stan. p.s. check Eminem - Go To Sleep Ft. DMX and Obie Trice
I think songs like this are why stans defend Eminem from any form of negative critique. This man pours his heart and soul into his pen every time he writes. He opens up to his fans (and haters), lets us have insight on how he feels and see the shit he's been through. We turn a blind eye to his more "mediocre" shit because all his career he has given us gems like this, Stan, Lose yourself and more.
As crazy as that Proof premonition shit was, nobody talks about how Em literally hit every drum beat in the song. Sometimes I listen to the song to remind myself how a real rapper bodies a beat
Eminem said in his book “the way i am” that he felt that he killed proof he can’t watch this video. I recommend anyone that’s a fan to read that book it comes with a lot of his old flyers and pages with songs and lines that he’s never put out and even lose yourself and Stan in there.
@@Mickster114 I didn’t know either, he wrote it during rehab too. Released in 2008. I was looking for books and shit like that when I was in the military before going to war to keep myself busy and I read it like 8 times it’s all dusty and dirty but I still hold a special bond with that book
Yeah, I get you Stevie... Every damn time I watch this video, and listen to this song, chills run down throughout my whole body the entire time and can't help shedding tears. I can't imagine something this tragic happening to someone. Playing their own death in a video clip. It's extremely sad and I can't imagine what people who loved him went through, rewatching it.
The scene of Proof's death gives me goosebumps everytime. RIP Proof. I always think the whole song is about how stupid it is to take disses to the street level. I mean, why did Pac and Biggie die? SMH
Proof was playing Bugz in this video, another D12 member that died years before. This was a portrayal of Bugz, not a prediction. Em has said he feels like he tempted fate in a way with this video. But they weren't predicting anything. It's just a coincidence they both died the same way. R.I.P Bugz and Big Proof🙏
When Eminem is talking about Dr Dre telling him to stay out of his Beef, he's talking about his Beef with Suge Knight. Eminem was going to go after Suge Knight for down talking Dr Dre but Dre told him to stay out the beef. Had Em gone after Suge, the beef would of definitely got nasty.
I’m glad he didn’t, even though I believe he would’ve won, the possibility isn’t even worth it. We need Em more then we needed the beef. Dre was playing is smart
@@Katierenee_10 Just rapping, definitely eminem. But if it got violent (which it definitely would have) suge and his entire entourage probably would win. You can't deny Suge was one of the coldest, hardest, and down right evil mfs back in his day
@@nickbroome332 I think Suge was crazy over hyped but he is the only one that really would’ve had a chance against Dre Em and 50. But nobody was touching them rap wise like you said.
holy shit... I always thought this song was about Proof's death didn't know it came out 2 YEARS BEFORE! damn knowing this gives the song a whole other layer
So cool that you got to interview Hopsin! He’s one of my favorite rappers for a while now. Guy actually has talent in 2021 when it feels like all the mainstream rappers right now suck. Congratulations!
Stevie is moving up in the world, this channel isn't just about reactions anymore, we're actually getting a deeper dive into the artists we all know and love. He's doing god's work.
What's amazing in this track is he put his whole heart and u could see his soul amd his emotions in this track. Used to be a time where you could just say a rhyme and wouldn't bother about one og your people dying. That part was mad dope
how sick is it you're interviewing Hop man! I bet you never anticipated that? Absolutely incredible you're getting all this stuff rolling. Absolutely deserved brother.
now you have to revisit "Arose" , there's 1 line that hit so hard when you know the context, would answer your question as what Eminem feel when he watch this .
@@Joeucef that's why I call it a revisit , he didn't really know about Proof-Eminem relationship and there's a line on there that was making an insane metaphore as a reference to this song that require people that knows about Proof's death and this music video to actually understand the line .
" I had to walk down my halls and constantly be reminded By pictures all on my walls and I couldn't sleep at night 'cause That image burned in my brain of you on that table Me falling across your body, not able to stand to save you God, why did you take him?" Eminem walk down a hall way in the video looking at Proof dying on the table .
Seeing you vibe out to some of these tracks is just as entertaining as you pausing and breaking it down. I know it doesnt make for longer vids but you definitely let this one soak in. Good reaction stevie keep it up
I have never seen Stevie this emotional man. But I understand why, I can only imagine how Eminem feels when he watches this video... If at all he can watch it. Left me in tears !!!
@@nicolekali332 Damn...... I don't even have a bankaccount so I can't sign up for patreon at this point even if I really want to....... Damn. But thanx for the info!

Loooong time subscriber, about a 4 month patreon member, and a long time fan, 2nd comment.. it makes me happy that I get to have someone like you,”a friend,” if you will, to listen to music too. Don’t get me wrong, I have a healthy amount of friends, but not many that have that deep appreciation for music, and in particular, hip hop music. I appreciate this (your) time. Thanks man.
That Hopsin interview tease was unreal, glad to have seen your channel blow up (I remember getting around when you had a couple thousand) because it was always the best rap reaction channel. Unreal to see you get to interview Hop now too. Even if you don't read it, congrats man.
Really glad to see Stevie Knight expanding and growing in this craft by doing interviews (can't wait for the hop one) and can't wait to watch it blow up!
This song makes me cry every time I hear it especially the video I am in my feelings all over again this was definitely crazy that it happened the same way 😭💔😇🙏🏻 rip proof
When we heard Proof was murdered and then remembered this video...dudes was fucked up. It was spooky as shit. And sad as hell. I can't imagine what Em went through the first time remembering or re-watching this video...
Proof was his blood sacrifice.... Gotta sacrifice someone close to you to keep up your part of the blood oath you take to get into the top of the music and hollywood world..... All sick luciferians
@@smokeybandit1596 Not saying sketchy shit doesn't happen here and there among hollywood elite, but, if you genuinely think that's common and that's what actually happened with Proof, you're living in a paranoid fantasy world. Thinking that way is like a mind virus and colors your whole perception of the world. I bet you see occult conspiracy shit everywhere. Again, not trying to deny that fucked up stuff happens or that it exists to some small capacity, but, don't think everything you hear about stuff like that is factual. People have a tendency to repeat wild conjecture and rumor as if it's facts and get defensive when people want proof. You can find someone who thinks that way about almost every famous person who ever existed and 99.99999% of them are either simply wrong at best or at worst manipulative and full of shit because they have an agenda. It can go both ways. It's not good to have that stuff bouncing around in your head all the time. It can lead to dangerous assumptions which can lead to dangerous actions and makes it FAR EASIER for people to manipulate you, despite many people deep into conspiracy believing the opposite. If I know that's how you think, then I now have a formula for how you process the world and can use that to my advantage. Don't give people that opportunity. You just bought a different story someone's selling you ain't awakened or seeing through the lies or any of that horseshit. I'm not ignorant to these kinds of beliefs, I know what people say about stuff like this, I've read the same things you might've read. Most of it is absolute nonsense. It's mostly just juicy stories people want to believe in so they can simplify the world in black and white and have something to direct anger at. Get your head out of that shit now. I've seen where it leads for people and it's not pretty. And no, I'm not some illuminati agent paid to type this out, I just care about people's mental health. I've personally seen how getting too deep into this stuff isolates people and causes mental breakdowns over time.
@@tritran7565 He feels responsible for his death but it wasn't his fault. He feels he kind of "spoke" it to existence but Proofs death had nothing to do with the Benzino and Ja beef or anything hip-hop related.
Stevie not pausing and commenting very much echoes throughout the room. That's what music and artistry is all about. It leaves you breathless/speechless.
Imagine the shock we had back in 2006 having listened to this song for 2 years and the proof dyin the way he did. I thought it was a hoax at first. It was crazy. Pure heartbreak for Em and us the fans.
@@emmylicious6352 That song always hits the feels! The part where he has a sample of Hailie's voice saying "Daddy" then Em raps "dont you die on me, better hold your ground. Fuck, dont i know the sound of that voice, yeah baby hold me down" Those 2 lines always just get to me.. you can just hear the raw emotion
I never thought to check that. And it did give me the chills on another level. I've been listening to this song for ages and at one point I started crying every single time it was played, still do. But he did something that hit me personally even more than this one. In 1999, when the eclipse happened I was on a very specific mountain with my family, in Romania. That mountain holds a lot of symbolism for the people that lived here 2000 years ago. I was tired from the walking and closed my eyes for an instant. In that instant, I saw something that will stay with me for as long as I am alive. And now, you can see it, with your own eyes. In "Walk on Water", there is a statue. That statue in that specific pose, in that specific place is what I saw, to the detail. This man give you chills? You have no idea.
@@filip4dk no it’s Suge, Dre told him to stay out Dre’s beef with Suge. ‘Dre told me stay out, it just wasn’t my beef, so I did, sit back, watched and gritted my teeth’
Each time i hear this song..... I FCKN CRY.... like no sht. And Stevie normally gives his clear personal opinion. But this track right here , could demolish every human being... 1 of the greatest hip hop songs ever !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And it belongs to the GOAT!!!!!!!!!!! Love you EM!!!!!!!!!!! Ive had some hard days in my life, and EMs music has helped me to go throuh it.... Pure inspiration!!!! P.D. Sry for my bad english Take care m8s!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah thas why bugz is on he wall at the end of the video.Along with Big L , Pac and Biggie
mad respect for that hopsin interview! that's cool as hell bro
So many soldiers lost to the nature of the game, I remember Eminem doing a song where he watches old footage of proof in near tears.
Where? You got a source?
The militant war drums and Em flowing to the same pattern is effing fire!!!!!
Proof is playing Bugz, he was shot and died in 1999. He was another member of D12
Proof is playing the role of a member of d twelve who got shot ..but em later said he felt guilty for doing it ..
Stevie really got a Hopsin Interview and he doesn't do those often... Stevie really the Goat and i can't wait to see what he accomplishes next.
This song makes me cry every time I hear it especially the video I am in my feelings all over again this was definitely crazy that it happened the same way 😭💔😇🙏🏻 rip proof
it's so intense that he didn't stop for the censored shit
Out of all his songs and videos, this is by far the most emotional.
That's why he relapsed. Can't imagine how he felt.
When we heard Proof was murdered and then remembered this video...dudes was fucked up. It was spooky as shit. And sad as hell. I can't imagine what Em went through the first time remembering or re-watching this video...
Proof was his blood sacrifice.... Gotta sacrifice someone close to you to keep up your part of the blood oath you take to get into the top of the music and hollywood world..... All sick luciferians
@@smokeybandit1596 a black man shot him in the back of the head. Your words don't make sense. You watched to much Southpark.
@@smokeybandit1596 Not saying sketchy shit doesn't happen here and there among hollywood elite, but, if you genuinely think that's common and that's what actually happened with Proof, you're living in a paranoid fantasy world. Thinking that way is like a mind virus and colors your whole perception of the world. I bet you see occult conspiracy shit everywhere. Again, not trying to deny that fucked up stuff happens or that it exists to some small capacity, but, don't think everything you hear about stuff like that is factual. People have a tendency to repeat wild conjecture and rumor as if it's facts and get defensive when people want proof. You can find someone who thinks that way about almost every famous person who ever existed and 99.99999% of them are either simply wrong at best or at worst manipulative and full of shit because they have an agenda. It can go both ways.
It's not good to have that stuff bouncing around in your head all the time. It can lead to dangerous assumptions which can lead to dangerous actions and makes it FAR EASIER for people to manipulate you, despite many people deep into conspiracy believing the opposite. If I know that's how you think, then I now have a formula for how you process the world and can use that to my advantage. Don't give people that opportunity. You just bought a different story someone's selling you ain't awakened or seeing through the lies or any of that horseshit.
I'm not ignorant to these kinds of beliefs, I know what people say about stuff like this, I've read the same things you might've read. Most of it is absolute nonsense. It's mostly just juicy stories people want to believe in so they can simplify the world in black and white and have something to direct anger at. Get your head out of that shit now. I've seen where it leads for people and it's not pretty. And no, I'm not some illuminati agent paid to type this out, I just care about people's mental health. I've personally seen how getting too deep into this stuff isolates people and causes mental breakdowns over time.
Much love from Seychelles island brother you worldwide bro 💯🇸🇨
RIP Big Proof! People will never truly understand what he did for the culture. Gone too soon.💔🕊
Goosebumps...
Bruh, you did a hopsin interview!!
HOLY SHIT! I'm so hyped for the Hop Interview mannnnnnn
Stevie, you have to do “Going Through Changes”. He addresses the depression he was going through because of Proof’s death.
Seeing a preview for the hop interview has me hyped.
"And I'm so caught in it I almost feel I'm the one who caused it
This ain't what I'm in hip-hop for, it's not why I got in it"
that didn't age well.....
@@tritran7565 Explain
@@dragonthingy4843 he was talking about his beef with benzino , now take those words and apply to Proof's situation....
@@tritran7565 He feels responsible for his death but it wasn't his fault. He feels he kind of "spoke" it to existence but Proofs death had nothing to do with the Benzino and Ja beef or anything hip-hop related.
Fuck yes!! Was listening to this song earlier and thought I can’t wait for you to react to it!!
As if you got a hopsin interview 😳👀
That’s fucking dope
I was all "WHAT THE FUUUK?!?!?!"
Let's Go!!
Fr like what
Stevies going to some high places, fair play, he's done well
Stevie not pausing and commenting very much echoes throughout the room. That's what music and artistry is all about. It leaves you breathless/speechless.
Aye real talk stevie, song is so deep an fire more people need to understand this
Man I've been waiting for this one for a minute.
Man..... this is one of my favorite Eminem's songs and i just found out about that Proof detail.... 🤯🤯🤯
I'm proud my Guy you came a long way in a year thats motivation
Proof has a song called Kurt Cobain where he says "I die for Em and save Hailie". So he basically knew he was going to die, probably for Em's sake.
Stevie should react to Kurt Cobain by Proof
@@TheArisStoss Agreed
Probably knew he was going to die? What a dumb statement
That just gave me tears 😔😰
he is forever a legend👑
He didn't die for Em's sake and didn't know he was going to die prematurelly. This is just some weard way out there connect the dots.
Imagine the shock we had back in 2006 having listened to this song for 2 years and the proof dyin the way he did. I thought it was a hoax at first. It was crazy. Pure heartbreak for Em and us the fans.
This is a classic most of the old stuff Eminem has are straight up master pieces. The voice of those kids singing the hook gives me chills every time.
The original song, where the kids are singing, is from song by Martika - toy soldiers
oh snap! cant wait for that Hopsin video!
You gotta react to Eminem "you're never over " it's a tribute to proof coach.. You need to hear how hard he spazzed.. Your biggest fan from Nigeria
And going through changes 🙏
@@emmylicious6352 That song always hits the feels! The part where he has a sample of Hailie's voice saying "Daddy" then Em raps "dont you die on me, better hold your ground. Fuck, dont i know the sound of that voice, yeah baby hold me down" Those 2 lines always just get to me.. you can just hear the raw emotion
this song breaks my heart every time i hear it (much sad)
I didnt even make the connection that was him till now. Damn thats one of those coincidences...
Fantastic reaction stevie 👏 my favourite eminem song
This is one of the most beautiful Eminem song ever, PERIOD.
I never thought to check that. And it did give me the chills on another level.
I've been listening to this song for ages and at one point I started crying every single time it was played, still do.
But he did something that hit me personally even more than this one.
In 1999, when the eclipse happened I was on a very specific mountain with my family, in Romania. That mountain holds a lot of symbolism for the people that lived here 2000 years ago.
I was tired from the walking and closed my eyes for an instant. In that instant, I saw something that will stay with me for as long as I am alive. And now, you can see it, with your own eyes.
In "Walk on Water", there is a statue. That statue in that specific pose, in that specific place is what I saw, to the detail.
This man give you chills?
You have no idea.
Emmm is the Goat, we drop everything to come here now lol
Did you notice that every syllable dropped on a drum beat. Genius!
"I Went my whole career without ever mentioning Suge:
He said his name at Wembley Stadium ;)
Yea but wasn't that way before he even wrote this
It’s the word Nigga he’s talking about
@@filip4dk lol no
@@filip4dk no it’s Suge, Dre told him to stay out Dre’s beef with Suge. ‘Dre told me stay out, it just wasn’t my beef, so I did, sit back, watched and gritted my teeth’
YOOOOOOOOOO You got hopsin?.damn bro thats hype
He raps the whole song to the beat of the dream.
Each time i hear this song..... I FCKN CRY.... like no sht. And Stevie normally gives his clear personal opinion. But this track right here , could demolish every human being... 1 of the greatest hip hop songs ever !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And it belongs to the GOAT!!!!!!!!!!! Love you EM!!!!!!!!!!! Ive had some hard days in my life, and EMs music has helped me to go throuh it.... Pure inspiration!!!!
P.D. Sry for my bad english
Take care m8s!!!!!!!!!!
should react to Difficult, a leaked track where he talks about proofs passing and Careful What You Wish For, a track made a couple years later explaining why he went MIA after Proof passed
^
Can't wait for the Hopsin interview ❤️
