    A little fun story: This song came out in 2002, before the movie 8 Mile, and it was a huge hit. The movie producer (or whoever) told Em that they were going to use this song as a soundtrack because he could not make a bigger hit song, but Eminem was like "hold my beer" and he went and wrote Lose Yourself.

      Source???? The Eminem Show was done. Em then moved onto helping produce Cheers and GRODT and was always intended to write original music for a soundtrack.
      The original song intended to be the official song was 8 mile.....as in the SONG 8 mile...from the 8 mile soundtrack......but Em was dissatisfied and thought he could do better so wrote Lose Yourself between takes.
      I've never at any point heard anyone ever claim COMC had any involvement with 8 mile.

    He was angry because he had a little brother that also suffered abuse and was put into the foster care system, he does mention him in at least one of his songs. He doesn't perform Cleaning Out My Closet anymore, I have seen articles that say they have somewhat mended their relationship. Child abuse can continue through generations, he didn't do that, he made beauty with pain. He is an artist of the lifetime.

    He brought up Munchausen Syndrome. A terrible disorder for the people around the person who has it, especially if it's the form Munchausen By-Proxy, which I believe he is describing. My biological mother had it, and most of my childhood consisted of being told I was sick when I wasn't. That's why this track hits so hard for me.

When reacting to songs and shows of things that were coming out for me growing up, it’s fascinating to see your reactions. Plus I think all of you are pretty genuine guys just chilling and learning through all of these reactions. I’d love to see you guys do “If I had” on Eminem’s debut album. It’s a back track that doesn’t get the love it should. I also think you’d be fascinated with NF. He goes hard, and I’d say do “Mansion” first from him. He will blow you away.

    I bought my first Eminem album when I was 11 with my Xmas money and related and adored it so much. The humour, the honesty and the emotions.
    This track hit home for me and I honestly don’t share the same reaction as everyone else. It used to shock me that this song shocks people. But now I’m nearly 30 I realise that not everyone has had a difficult upbringing and experienced childhood trauma. The thing is, you’re imaging saying those things about your parents who are probably nice and caring people. But having a parent who abuses you is not the same. In that situation you are an innocent child who deserves better. Eminem knows that and has given better when he has become a parent himself. This isn’t a blanket hate against parents, it’s an honest portrayal of thoughts and feelings looking back on a broken childhood.

      I feel you. I’m nine years older than you and I’m watching this for the same reason. I don’t think what any young person don’t realize there’s once you hit 21. The years start flying after that. Seems like one day you’re 25 the next thing you know you’re 50. I may be 52 But in my mind I still feel like I’m 25. Also I don’t expect these guys to know who Eminem is or was just like they shouldn’t also know a whole lot about Ice Cube, 2Pac, or biggie unless the parents were bumping that stuff when they were kids. I would’ve expected him to be listening to stuff from artists that are more closer to their own age but just like now they start experiencing and checking out stuff from different areas my music taste go way back to the 50s and of course I’ve heard stuff much older than that but not a whole lot. Twenty years before I was born.

    Em's mom's name is Debbie Mathers.
    On his first (signed) album, he says, "99% of my life I was lied to. I just found out my mom does more dope than I do. I told her I'd grow up to be a famous rapper, make a record about doing drugs and name it after her."
    His mom sues him for $10million for that line.. and only ends up winning $1,377 or something like that from the suit.
    2nd (signed) album, he says, "My f*****g b***h mom tried to sue me for 10 million. She must want a dollar for every pill I've been stealing".
    Third album, he says, "I just settled all my lawsuits; FUCK YOU DEBBIE!"
    Growing up, his mom would tell him that he was sick with munchausen syndrome, and would put prescription drugs in his food, as well as other toxic stuff. If you read up about it, it was a hard upbringing.
    By the way, I'm 39 (grew up while all this was going on), and I also watch the channel for the generational gap. I think it's amazing what you guys are doing here. You're helping inspire the younger generation to give a shit about lyrics, poetry, bars, etc. Keep it up guys.

    Originally, a rap song was made of the classic 16 bars. The bar phase is almost like a line. Bar is like the segment or sentence. When people say, now that was a bar it was meant a good bar or line. But it became accepted to mean that bar had a scheme , wordplay or metaphor or entandre that stood out. Rap evolved to 32, 46, 64 bars etc as rappers started saying more or faster. There's many rappers that reference it. Giving a cool 16." I was gonna stop at 16, that was 32. This is 34 bars were only a 3rd the way through" Em-Mariah diss. It refers to lyrical lines in the rap

    In Africa though my boys we know EM, Funny I got introduced to Em with Cleaning out my closet back in 02 and back then I was 12 years old and I got hooked. Songs like mocking bird, when I am gone and my dad gone crazy captured me and made me a fan forever. Also let me just mention I love your reactions, this is you reacting to the music and not really here for catching the bars and you catching them is a bonus for us.

    My favorite Em song from the earlier days. Em always hits hard & can paint a picture with his lyrics more than anyone else & damn is this one painful but so good!

    I don't care if you heard the songs before or not. The great thing about music is there is almost always something new to learn from a song you've heard before.

    I’m 77 years old and I applaud the fact that you guys are checking out your music history. The problem is Eminem has got such a long history that he’s lived three different lives already. He’s gonna be hard for you guys to find a spot to start.

    This is one of my favorite reactions guys! Btw…the syndrome he was referring and said is called Munchhausen syndrome. It’s when an adult typically a mother as it’s more common in females. It’s a mental health problem where a parent will intentionally hurt her child physically or more common makes them sick (like you saw her putting pinesol in his food) to cause them to become sick. They do it for sympathy and attention. They will do it over and over again. Look up the case of Gypsy Rose, true story of horrible Munchhausen syndrome that finally ended when Gypse Rose finally had her mom killed.

    Man I'm feeling old as shit now 😂. I remember when this came out, I was in high school at the time. I'm sure there wasn't a single young person in America that never heard this song because Eminem was all over MTV and BET and pretty much every hip hop radio station on the planet. That was back when everyone watched cable TV, before RUclips or most other streaming sites/services, everyone watched a lot more TV. Basically if you didn't hear this song or most other Eminem songs back then, you were probably a nerd or very, very sheltered 😂

      His mom made him believe he was sick took him to hospitals for attention. It's called munchausen syndrome. She was making him sick on purpose, i.e. whatever she poured in his food.

    Em made the beat and Dre mixed it. Thats the mixing board so every instrument in the beat is programed on those sliders.
    If something is too low like the snare, you tell the engineer turn it up.
    Usually that conversation gets cut before the song is out but I guess it sounded dope to them 😂

    This is the first time I’ve listened to this song since I first heard ‘Headlights’.

    Now you need to listen to "Headlights" by Eminem. It finishes his story with his Mom and shows how he's matured. Oh, and 50 will come calling for you guys FAR sooner than your youthful minds can even comprehend right now. Time flies by and accelerates 2x as fast after you hit 30. Don't say you weren't warned.

    I just can't believe people don't know this music. It's literally imprinted in social consciousness.
