So it was doody, not judy 😂 wouldn’t have got it either way, but I appreciate the information as well as you all watching.
As always ❤ you guys are the cream of the crop 🙌
Yep doody was what Proof and Em Called each other, Em mentions the story behind that in the leaked Eminem song “difficult”
@@Shadydan05appreciate the insight fam 🙌
Em was a Master on Revival. I literally shed tears when I listen.
I'm not a Stan, but Revival is Masterpiece yet to be discovered. And I love Kamikaze & MTBMB even more,but I didn't like when he squashed Revival CD in Fall video, especially if he had defended same album on Ringer
That is why Em was hurt by the criticism. He said here is my heart. His heart was kicked, so to speak.
Yeah man, and I completely get it. No artist wants their music to get trampled on unnecessarily. Its not right, but dont get used to me liking every song on this channel bro lol theres bound to be some bad apples
As a father this is probably the most relatable song he has. His daughter literally saved his life and made his change his ways. That's something I can relate to so much.
Forsure man, definitely made me walk down memory lane for a bit. Those were scary times lol
The song playing under his vocals in Arose is called The Rose by Bette Midler from the movie of the same name. Just another layer to the song. The movie is about Bette who is a rockstar falling victim to drugs and alcohol. Just makes me love Em’s creativity even more. Using the vocals from the song - from the movie that parallels his own experience!
Yeah I had to look it up while editing lol it was bothering me. But yes, Great touch forsure. Rick Rubin is a genius.
Told you so! 😭😂
Nathan is his brother and Proof and Em called each other Doody. Thank you for this reaction. As I told you before, can't listen to this without crying. I relate to some stuff that just hits me hard. A masterpiece in my opinion!
You were right 😆 and you are welcome. Its doody??? Mannnn, i need to start looking at lyrics. But yes two really great songs. So glad I got to listen to them.
@@counterreaction yeah it's Doody 😂
I have a list and I know you have a lot of requests so don't stress.
Don't approach me (xzibit feat Eminem)
My darling
No appologies
Beautiful
Appreciate you! 🙏🏼
@@WINTERWONDERLAND418 that's dope! I like spoken word.
@@Aztekprincess 😭 you guys have me working overtime for EM lol all good. I enjoy making these videos for you guys. Also don’t want to get into too many different artists at once. Too many fanbases to grow
@@counterreaction lol! You did present your channel with "former eminem fan" so a lot of fans going in hard trying to get you to be a fan again. 😂
And thank you for doing it 🙏🏼 you have a great thing going on here.
It was just way ahead of its time when it was realesed. Whole album is much better than I originally thought when I first heard it.
I never disliked it but it has definitely grown more on me overtime
Yeah, Em and Proof always called each other "Doody", 'cause "they were the shit". 😄Nathan is Em's younger half-brother. Em adopted Nathan when his career took off, 'cause Em's mother lost custody. Other than addiction, Em's mother had Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy, tried to make them sick to get attention. Em also adopted Whitney, who Kim had with another after marriage breakup, and Alaina, Kim's sister's
Never Love Again is a great mix
between his older emotion and his newer lyrics.
Drugs/Rap Game/Woman
Would love to see that reaction!
That sounds interesting what album is it on?
@@counterreaction music to be murdered by. Best beat switch I’ve ever heard
@@damaconx6854 damnnn, love me some beat switches. Was sad when they went away in the 90s, glad they are being used again. Gnat was dope af.
@@counterreaction yeah gnat’s is dope too this is diff tho, catches you off guard. Another fite bear switch is “discombobulated”
But “never love again” is up there with Kendrick DNA for goat beat switch
I think what a lot of peeps dont understand( not you) but many Em haters dont under the bond that he greatest with his fans from early on tracks like Rock bottom,
Then to always telling his life story warts & all.
Through deadbeat dad, junkie mom, being bullied, toxic relationships, broke, having a child while broke, going through addiction, sober, relapse, sober now for like 13 yrs now.
The strongest fan base you can get is ones that can personally relate to you & have similar struggles that the people in the audience can relate to.
2nd half Em has been huge for addicts & recovering addicts, which just made him even bigger.
Man I loved rock bottom, such a great song!
@@counterreaction Rock bottom is so dope love it!
@@counterreaction yeah, Rock Bottom & Way I Am. Are still probably my fave Em tracks, because of where I was in life when I heard both those tracks & how i related to them in my early 20's.
Hell, now in my late 40's, Way I Am is still a go to song when I'm really pissed off. For some reason it's therapeutic to put on & spit a long with the anger & when over I'm actually called down.
Then in Ems 2nd half of career, I could relate to tracks like Deju Vue when I was going thru addiction & Not Afraid when I got sober. (Which many write that track off as just being commercial, but when you break it down it's pretty bar heavy)
Most of early Em, I was more impressed with his skill level & complex style and visuals, cause I couldn't relate to a lot if it.
But as I aged, it's tracks like When I'm Gone (idgof who ya are, if you gotta a baby girl & that song don't hit you, you got no heart. )
Its ultimately been the idgof attitude of saying what he wanted to say with skill, but also never being afraid to open the curtain to his real life trials and tribulations.
Obviously the skills go without saying. The content can be great but if you can't express in a skillful way on wax, it's not.get listens
@@CSpad the way I am was so influential to me. In many ways! Appreciate you watching bro 🙌
@@counterreaction @counterreaction Np brother. I truly appreciate you being honest about your opinions, and always making it known that they are just that, your opinions & what you like and/or don't like
A couple facts about "The Way I Am" that I didn't know till years later.
1. Besides the true emotion & anger you hear him spitting & message, why it not only hit me hard but also why the feel, flow & Rhyme sceme/pattern, just worked so well & just flowed so well.
It was written in the poetry style of what's called anaseptic trimester. Which is the style that Dr. Seuss actually wrote poetry in.
I've only been able to locate 1 other hip hop track that was written the same way which was Andre3k in the 4th verse of Aquemini.
2. We would never have gotten that track, if Jimmie Iovine didn't tell Dre & Em, that MMLP was great when they turned it in. But, that it was dark. And that needed a lil less dark track to release on the radio to get buzz for the album.
Both Dre & Em were pissed.
As the story goes, Em sat pouting in the studio for a few days, with hoodoe pulled down. They played him all kind of beats etc. Then when producers were on a break, the keyboardist picked up an acoustic guitar & just started to strum a lil, and Em sat up & said that's it.
That's how Real Slim Shady came about, (which I know was the mainstream radio play ish.... but I thought it was hilarious because he basically shat on everyone that he knew he'd be in rotation with & also other pop culture things that were popping at the time.
Most importantly it birthed Way I Am. Hence the line "I'm never gonna be able to top what My Name is" (in terms of #'s)
Without 1 there wasn't the other and considering it went onto be the highest selling hip hop album of all time, gotta give Jimmy some credit.
Sorry for long posts, as an old school hip hop head, long b4 Em came out, I love hearing lil tidbits & inside ish from the studios & background of song creation.
Figured you would too.
Keep doing you, and continued success bro. ✌🏼
The visuals he creates on Arose are so crisp it's as if your right there in the situation as an observer. His storytelling is incredible. Btw, when you made the comment about grabbing a tape to record off the radio and dubbing over something, that brought back memories, haha 😂 Can't wait to see ya hit 3k subs and beyond:-D
Yeah man, highly enjoyable experience 🙌 ayyye, appreciate you bill. Yeah bro those were the days 😆 simpler times. Thanks for the well wishes. A shame this video earned me 4 subscribers given how long it took to make, edit and process but as long as the OG subscribers are still entertained, I consider it a job well done lol
You gotta do “never love again” I think it’s something that you would enjoy from a writing standpoint
I've always said, if having a kid doesn't force you to get your shit together, nothing will.. Its dope to hear you went from (allegedly) illegal activities to grinding 16 hour days to provide for your family and set an example. That's admirable as hell bro, salute
Appreciate you bro 🙌 it’s been a long road, but I’m all the better for it. Thanks for watching 🙏❤️
You understood the assignment 👏 (having both castle and arose together in that order) awesome reaction video
Appreciate you 🙌 was recommended that I did it this way. Had to make sure I listen to the eminem professionals on the channel lol
@@counterreaction yeah man these two songs were two of the best songs in Revival which is a shame cause they are great songs in his worst album so it was overlooked
Damn bro you never listened to mmlp2, Stan or Bad Guy? Thats his most slept imho for pure hip hop album (after mmlp & TES)
Mathew is Stans brother, Bad Guy from mmlp2 is basically Stan 2. Check it out, 3rd verse is insane
😭 my Eminem list is so long bro, all of those are on it. I just checked, and I dont even remember bad guy being requested anyone lol but it was
Doodie is proof (they called each other that when younger)
Nathan is Ens half bro, that he adopted
Leaving Heaven and Stepping Stone as well as coffin might be songs you enjoy Note. Eminem and Proof call each other "Dooty". Meaning they were the shit
Love your breakdowns. Real and honest, no matter what
Appreciate you 🙏 means alot
Nathan is Eminem’s brother
Ahhh got it. I remember him mentioning a brother a while back.
@@counterreactionyep half brother he mentions Nathan/ Nate in cleaning out my closet and headlights
Yep, his half brother that he ended up adopting when he got enough money so he could get him out of foster care. He was a teen when em adopted him and he is in a couple of his music videos. A few years ago Nate/Nathan legally changed his last name to Mathers, which is pretty cool. He is married with kids of his own now.
@@erikahutchcraft1742 ohh I didn’t know that he adobted him too , I know he adobted Whitney/Stevie and Alaina , Hailie still considers Nathan as her “uncle”
@Shadydan05 She actually calls Nate her "bruncle" because even though hes her uncle, they are only 10 years apart, and growing up together in the same house, so she also looks up to him as an older brother aswell.
Storytelling 👑 🐐...
Em actually said these 2 tracks (castle and arose) were the best writing he's ever done! So great catch!
Now that i listened to your comments on these songs, i think you really gonna like walk on water
I hope so man, in a perfect world I would enjoy every song I listen to lol and thats across all genres. Appreciate you watching.
Great reaction! I literally have Friends paused on the TV right now lol
🙌 best sitcom ever, and dont let anyone tell you different Daniel 😎😆
This is what i wanted to seeeeeeee. Lets see how much you catch
I don’t remember what I missed from this, some clarification from my subscribers was necessary.
Ok, so now that I finished watching, great video bro! See, this is what I was talking about with Revival. People hated on it, but it has something for everyone. I can almost guarantee that there'll be some songs you don't like. But seeing your appreciation for music, in general, you'll probably appreciate it more than the average Hip-Hop fan.
I think the Valium/volume flip works more than some, because I've noticed that people tend to just mispronounce the word often. Then again, I could just be bias because I've done it before in one of my songs lol.
Some of my favorites from the album are Walk on Water, Believe, River, Obsessed, Like Home, Nowhere Fast and these two. Honestly, would love to see your reaction to the whole album. Keep up the good work my guy!
Ayyye 🙌 appreciate you watching my guy. Thank you for the feedback.
Also, Sold alot of valium in my younger years bro, never heard anyone pronounce it that way. However, its okay to disagree on what’s acceptable. I have stretched a few bars in my day as well lol just not as egregious imo. Only example I can think of right now is feel/fill. But it was also attached to a conceptual double entendre snd phrased. So I give myself a pass lol Everything else has been pretty on point but its also why I get stuck with writers block a-lot of the time 😆 I write like a few times a year these days. I found my old soundcloud recently, so cringey. I was soooo bad 14 years ago.
@@counterreaction lol well I meant I hear people mispronounce volume. Not the other way around.
Going back through old stuff is always makes me cringe. I used to think I was so fire, now I go back and can't stand it. Like, I had good ideas, but I would be trying to force it and not staying on beat. I write a lot still, but I haven't recorded in like 2 years. Life lol but I plan on it soon. It's good therapy lol. I'll check out some of your stuff if you want. That would be cool
This was great to watch, love the reaction bro. I love these songs🙏
Appreciate you bro
@@counterreaction cheers bro. What are you dropping next?
@@shayruach the ringer, believe and zues I believe. Only have the ringer recorded. Thats for em. Later today is angelina, tomorrow is falling in reverse and I think Ez mil.
@@counterreaction awesome, can't wait🙏
@@shayruach appreciate you shay! As always bro 🤝
Headlights is a 2013 song where he apologizes to and makes peace with his mum. I think you'll appreciate it.
Man when you say 2013 it seems so long ago 😆 then when I think about how long its been since I really listened to Em, it makes me feel so old 😭 headlights huh.
Love that song!
@@counterreactiontrue but then Em's career has spanned so long that I consider 2013 pretty recent. It has an official music video too.
@@papalotapuss995 ill continue to drop em videos for the current subscribers fam. But its not helping grow the channel. I think the last 6 eminem videos have got the channel a total of 13 subscribers and if my math is correct have all taken about 14 hours of recording, editing, processing time. All em videos are of course claimed, so theres gotta be a trade off, but with my approach its not working out, my fault forsure. But also the dislikes are insane 😆 I get it though. I really do. No harm. But with all that being said, I’ll add it to the list.
I appreciate you sharing your personal story.
My pleasure 🙌🤝
Bad guy ….pretty good …disses himself ( just introspective ) I just like an artist that can do that.
Same 🙌
These songs are amazing
Yea this 2 tracks are definitely amazing,its also off the Rival Album like the Believe track .....this album is heavy with content
Believe is coming soon mav, appreciate you dropping by 🙏
I'm going to listen to this again while I think about that ringer reaction😂
😆🙌 lmfao love it bro
Give walk on water by eminem a listen if ain't heard it before its like this type of songs
Its on the list brotha 🙌
Proof and Em called each other “doody” because they both were “the sh*t”, it turned into a nickname between the two of them
I love that the name of the song Arose, like he rose from the dead, is a double for the song that is sampled that you can hear in the background. You can hear the song A Rose, I know the version by Bette middler, but I don’t know if that is the one in the song. “Sometimes love it is a …”
Nathan is ems step brother who was taken away by the state and he later adopted
Loved the reaction u should definitely listen to phenomenal and kings never die they are some inspirational songs that came out in 2015
He said Infinite CD. And it did flop. Eminem said in an interview that it sold like 300 copies
Believe next. On this album
Coming up. Owe that reaction to a subscriber
You the GOAT bro. Keep dabbling in new Em. Youll be surprised the more n more you dive in. Great reactions.
Oh, & the second song samples the song "a rose". I can barely listen to Ems version without getting wet eyes lol. He too good.
Man you humble me. I can’t agree with you there, but I still do appreciate the kind words as always chris.
Yeah man this was a heavy song. An absolutely amazing listening experience through and through ❤️🤝
@@counterreaction Nothing beats being real, & you sir are crushing the being real part. Keep it up & see you in the next one!👌🎵
@@christopher4101 thanks again homie, more on the way 🙌🙏
@@counterreaction Do me a huge favor. Bump the "The Ringer" reaction up your list. Im wanting to see your reaction to that. Its angry Em like in chloroseptic remix. The ringer is first song from the album (kamikaze) that dropped after chloreseptic remix song you heard when he ended his verse saying he would be back to come at throats
@@christopher4101 bro already recorded lol its coming Wednesday I think, or Thursday. Have to edit it. Its a mixed bag, I’ll tell you that. Im sure alot went over my head. He mentioned some pop culture stuff I was not familiar with
My favorite new Em is book of rhymes. I fucking love it
Its on the channel 🙌
When you looked i got a lil nervous and was thinking.... "shit! Its his 1st listen but just give him like 4 seconds and he'll connect it, i promise!" 😂
😆 bit of a short scare huh lol man this video took me so long to edit. I do my best to edit out all my ums and deep breaths lol idk if you can tell but im also very camera shy its why I look away alot, so alot of the times ill say things without looking at the camera and then I’ll repeat them and look at the camera as I know its a better way to connect with the audience.
@@counterreaction your good bud, I'm an extrovertadly introvert myself. I get it.
Em & proof Called each other doodie the 💩 ….Nathan his 1/2 brother
We had to stick a tiny piece of paper inside the the lil squares of the edges of cassettes to record over what was prob your last favorite cassette or an old cassette your parent's had lying around that wer thought sucked at the time..prob a classic now lol
Revival is underrated imo
I gotta listen to more of it man. Been out of the loop for a long long time
I don't know if anyone else has said this in the comments, but to me, this is a metaphor for the death of Slim Shady and the rebirth of Eminem/Marshall Mathers while literally describing his real life brush with death.
Noones mentioned that bro. I definitely see the correlation though. Makes perfect sense.
You should listen to headlights if you havent heard that one yet.
That makes you the second person to request it. Its on a long list fam 🙌
Good shit
Appreciate you.
Arose ends with Castle having a positive ending. Instead of passing out from drugs, he lives another day.
Yes 🙌
He’s actually talking about Valium tho… i get it volume because of the boom box and all that but that bar was actually exactly how it sounded. Cut down on the drug Valium. He has used that volume/Valium bar in the song marsh but it actually worked both ways in marsh you should check that out bro.
Appreciate your comment bro 🙌 and yeah, I knew what he was trying to do. I used to love Valium and soma back in the day lol I’ll peep the song since I probably wont react to it 🤝
@@counterreaction lmao word. I also used to be very familiar with certain prescription pills but yea bro marsh is one of his newer but really fire songs and he does almost exactly what you were talking about about with the Valium/volume word play. I really wasn’t a fan of revival at all besides a couple songs. He tried to be too political and woke and shit. It was a total miss for me personally.
It's all good.. we got you on the history of EM.. LOL
Appreciate you viewing Castle & Arose. Em poured his feelings on revival.
It was an amazing listen bro
If ever there was a mf that needed to look at a lyric video, this is him
😆 I don’t disagree, appreciate you watching lol
That flush is what VICTORY sounds like. I remember vividly my mom flushing my dads pills.
Depends on who’s there, definitely a victory for em. In my household that was money down the shitter.
@@counterreaction depends on who’s there?
I wasn’t talking about you or Em’s dynamic. I was talking about mine. In my house hold full of addicts that flush sound was a victory for us.
I would recommend "Walk on water" from the same album
Its on the list 🙌
@@counterreaction if you can, def recommend with music vid, it adds to the atmosphere and theme. And lyrics are simple
@@DaP84 fosho 🙌 greatly appreciated.
First comment! Sorry, always wanted to do that lol
Haha all good bro, appreciate you being first 🙌
Doody was EM's nickname for proof
nathan is ems half brother he adopted
As much as people say Ems singing sucks, I've seen videos that speak to his vocal range being outstanding even though it's not sonically pleasing to some. All without Auto tune which everyone over uses because their voices suck haha.
@@WINTERWONDERLAND418 I wanna be sitting front row for that challenge. Too many fake singers would absolutely look and sound terrible. Let's gets that challenge to go viral. But something tells me nobody would take auto tune off their voices. That's like asking some females to go without makeup challenge haha.
You guys make some great points 😆
@@WINTERWONDERLAND418 in a sea of fakes and clout chasers the real people stand out to me. I will always hold real n genuine people over those who just talk and fake their talents.
Great job - don’t forget about Dave 👍
Who is dave 😭
Dave is a super U.K. rapper who did Black. Album is called Psychodrama. Other songs - Heart attack, Question Time, how I met my ex & my 19th Birthday or an easy listen to Funky Friday. Heart Attack is special
❤
❤❤❤👍
Nate is his half bro. Mentioned him first i think in Cleaning out my closet
💜💜💜🎶🎶🎶🔮🔮🔮
You should listen to leaving heaven next if possible
Heaven is on the list, but it will not be next unfortunately. Zeus and believe are next 🙌🙏
Em and proof called each other doodie
Meaning they were the shit
Not possible to NOT LIKE arose!
Have you listened to the Relapse album?
I have not bro lol
@@counterreaction That's his best writing
@@ClifffSVK if thats true, I look forward to more 🙌
@@counterreactionI wouldn't say his best but it's great. But don't let the accents on some songs ruin your appreciation of the lyricism
@@darealkay7517 accents? Hes american 😭
his dother
Hailies song!! Great track and he doesn't sing as bad af he thinks he does lol
Guts over fear?
Im not following brotha. But if I had to choose one of the two, I like the fact that fear forces us to make calculated decisions lol
@@counterreaction sorryy about that. I meant. Can i recommend Guts over Fear by Eminem? Haha
@@dv251966 ohhh 😆 its all good. Umm thats the first time its been recommended thats why I didn’t know what you meant. My list is already really long, I don’t mind adding another one though. Just don’t know when I’ll be able to get to it.
Hes brother
I bet you would like never love again
It’s possible lol
Westlife sings that song
The pop group??
@counterreaction yeah not sure if they sing the original but it's called the rose in the backround
@@martinbrophy6898 ohhh its bette midler, had to look it up while editing.
@counterreaction aww right lol I know westlife did a version only know because from uk and the partner loves them haha
@@martinbrophy6898 I loved pop back in the late 90’s and early 2000’s it’s transformed quite a bit since then. They had 1 or 2 songs I enjoyed. Just couldn’t compete with the top groups here in the states.
If you don't like this you're just a hater Marshall Mathers is a storytelling God nobody puts words together the way he does he is like the movies you get a little bit of every f****** thing
Yeah this ones really hard not to like, my favorite eminem songs so far I think. Well not overall, but ever since I started reacting to his newer stuff. I think its okay not to like these songs and avoid the hater label (ONLY) if you don’t like either storytelling in general, orrr if the subject matter isnt relatable. Other than that, I cant see someone not liking these ones.
Why not former gangster , or fomer rapper , or future guy with a job , or a stripper wanna be..
Its a little clickbaity, former eminem fan is perfect 🙌 it perfectly describes what I am. Idk about the stripper part, and also, I have a pretty awesome job.
Fan are NOT is NOT waiting op you
Can you please edit your comment to make sense 🙏 thank you.
I think I'm older than you few yrs & I need to tell you that you sounded pretentious af while recording this video.I'm not a stan,but trashing any part of Em's carrier is ignorant, exept maybe Rela😂pse...
Corny but creative… this guy 🤦🏾♂️
I said what i said
No loss either way whether you're a fan or not. Eminem fanbase is massive and we'll always stick with the Goat through thick and thin. Those that fell off listening too him don't deserve to listen to his music. You don't know shit.
Lol appreciate you watching 🙌
Loved the reaction u should definitely listen to phenomenal and kings never die they are some inspirational songs that came out in 2015
