- There is a fine line that separates a TRUE friend from a fair-weather friend. This music video clearly defines that line. Em and Doc, take the stage my friends...

Dre tragically lost his son to a drug overdose in 2008. Along with how the change in music was shifting and how his career as an artist was heading it became downwards spiral, this song was supposed to be the revival of Dre to bring him back. There is many references and flashbacks throughout the song which pay homage to other artists that were apart of dres life. (This is a very very short summary someone with more time im sure will go into more detail)
I’ve got to add if you didn’t know already, Dre gave Eminem a chance when NO ONE else would. The amount of respect Eminem has for Dre is astronomical. An incredible duo who will never be matched in my opinion
Eric Wright was the rapper Eazy-E who was apart of the rap group NWA which launched Dres career. Eazy passed away from aids unfortunately. During the passing of Eric Dre and him were not on good terms (a lot of backstory that goes into that) and from what I know (please do correct me if I’m massively wrong I’m going off of memory) this is the first time Dre payed respect to Eric after his passing.
Without Dre there would be no Eminem, that doesn’t get spoken about enough ❤️
Thanks so much for this.
Easy E is Eric wright
@@larryshair not a problem Larry, great reaction.
Nice summary man. Dre paid homage to Eazy (Eric Wright) E in Whats The Difference from DRE 2001 aka The Chronic 2.
On the same note Dre wouldn’t be the same without Eminem ✌🏽
By the way, you are getting so good at catching all of the things! You even recognize the rappers by picture now! I'm so loving watching you go down this rabbit hole.
lol, thanks!
@@larryshair I agree with him. Beautiful closing words. Thank you. ILY
Facts I've noticed it also lol
😂😂 yeah for real but i hope hes ready for how deep this rabbit hole goes 😂💯💯🤘
Hes learning some hip-hop culture as well as some slangs🤣🤣🤣🤣
The relationship between Eminem and Dre is honestly just so beautiful and rare.
Eric Wright at the end is Eazy-E. They had beef right up until Eazy died. Rumor is they made peace and planned on a reunion tour, but Eazy didnt make it. He did lose a son. And he lost his brother early on. He was at a low point in his life, and career, at this point. Em was always his sidekick and really kind of pulled Dre back from the edge with this one. You nailed the reaction, my man🤙
Love that
He was never involved in any car crash/accident irl, they just crashed his real car for this video. It's just symbolic for his mental state at the time after so much loss
@@DaP84 Yeah you are right, the date in the beginning is this: The February 18th 2001 date at the beginning of the video is the same day as when NASCAR driver Dale Earnhardt was killed in a crash during the Daytona 500 race.
@@DaP84 nobody is saying the video footage is actual footage 😂 wtf
Dre did however actually suffer a terrible accident, which this video portrays.
@@davidvaughn9 No, he never was in any car accident! This portrayal has no literal meaning. Either your mixing up persons/events or you believe in fiction written in comments. Maybe you are thinking about the other rapper The D.O.C., who is close to Dre? He was in a car accident that ruined his vocal chords.
eminems word play is crazy. when he said it dawned on me, you lost a son (sun, at dawn). so its like the light of dres world was lost when he lost his child.
“Demons fighting you. It’s dark.
Let me turn on the lights, and brighten me and enlighten you.”
One of my fave lines.
8 mile is showing his life before he met Dre. The guy in the movie is portraying Proof. He was Em's best friend who sadly was shot and killed in 2006❤
R I P Proof. You’re never over
Like Toy Soldiers
Difficult is a Proof Tribute song by Eminem. Larry needs to hear this one.
@Michael Kiely you are right😊 it was just that in the reaction he asked if Future was based on Dre, and he is definitely based on Proof😊
Eminem was throwing around his demo tapes trying to get heard. he was working a regular 9 to 5 at a restaurant and basically spending almost his whole paycheck at disc makers, recording his music trying to get heard. I think he was his friend Rufus that heard about the rap Olympics in la, and convinced him fly out and perform. Unfortunately he did not win, he came in second place. But Dre ended up hearing him and tracked him down. Dre put his entire reputation on the line, if em did not make it, aftermath records would not have taken off, and Dre would have lost everything. As for the yellow jumpsuit, it was a clothing company that was also barely starting, and they asked em if he could wear their clothing as advertisement. Of course he accepted, because he wanted whatever deal he could get. As I'm walked into the recording studio, everybody laughed at him, seen a white blonde kid wearing a yellow jumpsuit. Dre put on a beat that he just made, he asked him what he thinks of it and hit play. 3 seconds later, em starts rapping off the top of his head, "hi my name is, what, my name is, what, my name is chicka chicka Slim Shady" that was the first 5 minutes of him meeting dre. That's the first song they ever recorded together. Song is called "my name is" his friend Rufus that convinced him to go to the rap olympics, he's also a rapper, you may not like his music, it's kind of fucked up, but his rap name is bizarre.

The line that gets me the most in this track "I demand you remember who you are". Reminding the good doctor of his greatness.
Just a quick story unrelated to the song: A friend of my father's taught me how to play "Dust in the Wind" by Kansas on guitar. A year later he was struck by a semi and didn't breathe long enough to cause considerable damage to his brain mostly related to memory. He could still play guitar but lacked long term memory so I was actually able to teach Dust in the Wind back to him. It was pretty emotional for everyone involved because it was so surreal and, of course, the nature of the song. Every time I hear that song I think about that moment.
Masterpiece overall. Skylars Voice is absolute diamond. Best in the world.
Eminem is actually part of the marvel universe as he appeared in a comic edition of The Punisher
Yes, I heard that! VERY cool!
1:02 That guy, called Future in the movie, represents Proof - Eminem's best friend. Proof used to organize rap battles in the 90s. Proof actually stars in the movie as a rapper named Lil' Tic, who wins against B-Rabbit (Eminem). One of his lines goes "I'll punish Rabbit or obsolete Future", which spells out "PROOF".
Hi Larry, as you know, the girl who sings the choir is Skylar Grey, I recommended her to you once and as an anecdote, Eminem is doing a little Dre with Skylar. He has introduced her in the last 4 or 5 albums of hers, he has also produced some songs in Skylar's albums, he always listens to her and tries to help her. He always takes her on tour and she is always, always showing him love by any means possible and trying to show the world what he does for her and not just in the spotlight, but behind him. What is the most important.
There is a curiosity with this song, the part of Em, he wrote it in a few minutes, I think it was 15 minutes, this was told by Skylar who could not believe how someone could write a song so deeply in just a few minutes, something that later listening to it all, she cried.
I swear Chris' enthusiasm is always so contagious. I always cried listening to this song because I can feel Em's emotion, gratitude, loyalty and he pleaded to Dre for his (2) life. And you made me laugh because of how much you enjoy understanding the message.That's a different emotion for me for this song lol thank you
The song is a wonderful metaphor and double Dre lost his son started to fall off and em was trying to turn him around but him back into the man he was he saved him they saved each other wonderfully written song. They debuted it on an award show when dr dre hadn’t been seen in awhile
This was also the first time Dre appeared in public after a long time away from the spotlight and he put on some major muscle.
I love watching your respect for Eminem flourish. I cry at times watching you connect. ♥️when I first heard this song when it was released I cried. When I saw the video I cried even more. I have chills right now right along with you. Oooh you have to listen to Dre. He’s great. Different from Em but still great. I appreciate you. I really do. You’re a great man.
Thanks so very much for your kind words, Jackie!!
The Em-brant I love it!
Larry: Mr Dre
Me: Mr NWA Mr AK coming straight out of Compton y’all better make way.
A little late to the party here, but this video came up after I watched a short interview clip with Dre and Em talking about this song.
Eminem wrote the idea behind the song and even admitted that his whole career has been to try and get a reaction out of Dre, the idea behind the song was to spark a reaction out of Dre and pay homage to his creativity. Dre is a perfectionist and will happily take literal years to release anything, almost as if he's doubting his ability, so Em used the song to push him to finish his album (which Dre said it worked and was soon back in the studio).
Em also said that the car crash is just a metaphor as it felt like Dre was in a coma and he and hiphop fans just wanted Dre to "wake up".
The bit about laying down life for his friend, you got to remember or understand they werent friends at the beginning, that wasnt the reason Dre took him on and gave him a chance. Dre was a businessman and heard how awesome he was, he did it from a business point of view more than a friendship point of view. the friendship blossomed after
Straight outta Compton leads right up to Em & Dre. I think you’d really appreciate that movie. You’ll see some of those friends that didn’t do right by Dre.
Eric Wright was Eazy-E. They had a huge, public falling out. It’s all in Straight outta Compton. Which also links to the Super Bowl show and Dre having Compton in the palm of his hand. Em almost lost Dre to an aneurysm recently. I think that probably influenced the halftime show a whole lot. I mean they ended on Still Dre.
Check out Em’s “forgot about Dre” for more connections to go down the rabbit hole about
he should also check out straight outta Compton and see about dre and nwa
@@mimih22a and then get rich or die tryin
@@Squeekysquid adhd rabbit holes are my super power
“I think he needs a doctor” I think that is what this whole song is about. Dre saved Eminem, gave him a chance when nobody else would and now he needs Dre, Em needs to save him now
I've ALWAYS LOVE EM !! But U Larry have made me fall in love all over again just watching u fall in luv with this amazing artist I see a whole other side of watching u ..thx Larry for giving me another gift!!
Awww, again, you are so very kind.
I've been listening to Eminem since I got his first album when I was a teenager. In the beginning I just thought the beats were cool and the lyrics provocative, but the more I listened growing up, and even to this day through watching your videos, it's just mind blowing how much I've learned and how deep and meaningful his lyrics and music truly are.
What I like the most about your videos is reading the comments of people who has found so much help in Eminems music. It's so easy for people to listen to a couple of songs and dismiss him because of all the swearing and stuff, but dig a little deeper and you realize that Eminem has saved so many people (and himself) through his music. I've gained even more respect for Eminem through your channel and love watching you do the same.
Writing this I was also thinking about Linkin Park which I was watching some videos of earlier and reading the comments. Chester Bennington, sadly didn't manage to save himself, but he saved so many people through his music as well. Maybe you should check them out.
Last thing. Skylar Grey (Holly Brook) is amazing. She is perfect in every song she does with Eminem and she has a lot of songs herself as well. She's also collaborated with Mike Shinoda and Fort Minor. Mike Shinoda is a huge part of Linkin Park.
Well. This comment escalated quickly. :D
One more thing! I was lucky enough to watch Eminem in Oslo in 2018. Me and 55000 other people and I had the time of my life. Skylar Grey was there too and she also did Didos part of Stan. Goose bumps everywhere. You should also check out Eminem doing Stan with Elton John!
Thanks so much for this!
I'm definitely reminded of "give a man a fish.. lead a man to water", when you notice doubles on your own, it's not only more satisfying but makes you connect with the music even more
I’ve always said, true friends are hard to find and such a rarity. A lot people who call themselves your friends drift in and out of you life. True friends stick with you no matter what. Eminem and Dre is an excellent example of true friendship backing up each other up no matter what. Once again a wonderful reaction and excellent insight into what the song is saying. 👍
I love the biblical connection you made. Truly amazing relationship between friends, if you watch Defiant Ones from HBO, then you will hear from Dre's mouth, how hard and easy it was taking Em on
The period of enlightenment is so beautiful..
Loved the reaction as usual, my dude. Thanks for yet again bringing the joy back to me while I listened to this track for the 100th time. Your genuine excitement for hip hop is palpable. It reignites my enthusiasm just watching you watch Em. Keep grinding my dude. I'm here for it.
I cannot even tell you how much I love this song. Em poured his heart out on this yet again and delivered AGAIN.
So much to pull strenght from. I was looking for this one last album from Dre but apparently they never released it. I read that it was because Dre thought, he won't make enough money with it, cause his Beats, Beats by Dre, were selling so well at that time, probably still do.
Glad u finally heard dre! He is amazing in his own right and is 1 of the most respected stars in all of hip hop history. His voice is incredible and unique
This is why I loved the halftime show so very much. Dre looked so happy. It was his first performance after his major health issues. He was responsible for that show and it was amazing
Yes he was in a very serious car accident himself, and his son died to, so he buried himself inside for a long time before EM came and dragged him back from the Abyss!
Your good ;) D from Norway
This is such a dope track right from Eminem’s heart from what I was reading Skylar Grey was crying after Eminem wrote his verses she said I couldn’t stop crying because of how much Eminem loves and appreciates what Dr Dre has done for him.
Dude, the fact that you truly listen to the
Words is impressive. You have my respect simply for the fact that you value what he is saying and most people miss lol
Thanks Unc! I have a lot to learn...
Loved your reaction (as always), I'd not heard this song in ages. Keep the reactions coming!
The emotions and lyrics run deep with this track! This track was so motivational in the first few steps I took when it came to my sobriety. (6 years next month) Also, a little vocal from Skylar Grey is always a welcomed edition to any track she blesses with her voice. A fantastic reaction as always! Thanks for these videos! Keep up the amazing work 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
One of my favourite verses by Eminem, you can feel the emotion and desperation in his voice as he raps. Great reaction again, loving this journey you're on so much!
Seeing you get so pumped up at parts was a pleasure. LOL
The pleading almost desperate tone in Eminem's voice in this track goes in deep inside my soul everytime i hear this track.
Yes!!!!
I've been waiting for you to do this dude.
“Guilty Conscience” would be a good choice for delving into the Slim Shady persona. Dr. Dre plays the good side, contrasting the terrible advice Slim gives on the bad side. You’d like the life lessons aspect of it, for sure.
That's a great one!!
In this video you're seeing him have a lot of flashbacks to Eazy-E and 2Pac - 2pac you obviously know tragically died in a shooting who was close to Dre, but Eazy-E was in Dre's early life, his first projects of rap were with a group called NWA, which consisted of Ice Cube, Eazy-E, Dr. Dre, and a few others. They had a few projects together and were the first real breakthrough of rap, they were HUGE. and it was all talking about the REAL stuff that happens in Compton, and it was to show people the lifestyle, what they're going through, struggling with. You will hear NWA referenced a lot in rap and Hip-Hop, they're considered legendary. They faced protests, racism, and had some of their shows end in cops arresting them. If you're looking for a really good movie, like 8-Mile I would seriously suggest watching "Straight Outta Compton" it explains all this is a great way and is a really good watch. anyway, they went through it as a group. Dre and Eazy-E had some differences and went back and forth with some diss records, before he was diagnosed with HIV/AIDS in 1995, he was listed in critical condition and died not long after. Dre and Eazy were really close, his real name being Eric Wright, the name you see on the grave at the end. Dre has lost a lot of people.
--P.s, love your reactions
If you're interested in dipping your toes in some Shady, I would recommend [Eminem - The Way I Am] ruclips.net/video/m8E3Dh-gfhM/видео.html
Em doesn't rap as Slim Shady in The Way I Am.
@@vn5774 Well it's definitely not rap god.
Love watching you convert into a Stan! Interesting view point regarding suffering. Thank you!
I've just discovered this channel, I've been a fan of Eminem for 25 years and watching someone discover him for he first time is so awesome! I'm loving it, can't wait to see your reaction to Rap God and Godzilla 🤣
Thanks Mark!
Thoroughly enjoyed this reaction. Thanks for giving it to us.
You reacted to my favorite one first, but he was on so many songs with Dre their friendship is what everyone hopes they have in their life 💯
Eric Wright was a rapper named Eazy-E... Him and Dre were friends and groupmates in NWA. He passed from AIDs and at the time him and Dre where in a rap beef. Diss tracks and all.
You can see that’s a true feeling when he shows the goseboomps 😂
Love this guy man!! Has the same passion about hip hop I do especially ANY song involving em much love man keep ‘em coming!🔥❤️
👏AT LAST! I've been waiting on your reaction!👏This is my fav Em & Dre track - I adore it 💕 Thank You!🙌
I never noticed the “goodnight daddy” until you pointed it out.
Every reaction video from you is a Highlight for me. Amazing work!
Idk if it’s just Bc I’m drunk but this song means so much more than just Eminem’s and Dre’s redemption story’s thought hard work and sticking your neck out for your best friends through tuff times and times of need
Love this song! and always love your reactions!!
Yesss, been waiting patiently ❤️
Your Em reactions are the highlight of my day!
I’ve been a quiet follower and I just love seeing how we’ve slowly turned you into a Stan. I’m here for it. 💙
lol, thanks Cady-Stan!
Such a beautiful song.
Great vid Chris, as always 👍
Thanks 007. This was a great song!
Thank you so much for this upload!
Eric ''Eazy E'' Wright was the one who started Ruthless Records and was a huge part of N.W.A Dre's first gangster rap group!
he died from Aids in 95.
his son passed away from a drug overdose years later
The guy in 8 mile symbolized Proof. Side note… Proof actually played Lil Tic in 8mile, and actually battles Eminem in the movie.
Good stuff Maynard! Grams always use to say that. R.I.P grams. Keep em comin Chris! We love and support ya!
What a wonderful early birthday surprise! I wasn't expecting this to drop until tomorrow in my country, due to the different time zones, but this is great! Such an emotional song and the respect and devotion Em has for Dre is incredible. Can't wait to watch it now:)
They wanted riannah to sing the chorus and eminem fought for Skylar grey instead. Skylar also wrote "i love the way you lie" which riannah singing skylars part. The more you know
Hello from Brasil , watching you before sleep just turned into a habit, very happy to see that u kept with shady’s stuff.
I know it’s late but the man in 8mile isn’t a representation of Dr Dre it’s meant to be Eminem friend Proof who past away in the early 2000s. He’s the one who motivated Eminem into becoming a battle rapper just like in the movie
You have such honest , genuine, and detailed reactions. Keep it up . You quickly took my lead as favorite
Thank you so much 🙂
Great reaction 👏
So precious how they speak about each other 😭
I enjoyed this video a lot thanks Chris!!
Thanks Frenchy!!!
I recommend listening to Forgot about Dre too, great reaction as always!
Something else to listen for on your Eminem journey. Ems ability to go into a hook/chorus is often so seamless. I don’t know of another artist who can link it together like he can.
Another great reaction. Not only do you appear to be becoming a Stan, but a hip hop head, too. Thanks.
As a first time viewer, 20 year Eminem fan and bereaved mother, I really enjoyed this video. I love your enthusiasm for Em and the very gently sign of empathy that you showed to all us bereaved parents. Thank you for being kind. 💜
Thanks so much for your kind words!
Been on holiday, came back yestedsay and just catching up on your em videos! I'm here for them!!!! Your YEEEAAAAH and face expressions, I can't 🤣🤣🤣🤣 love it! Love this! Great reaction!!! NOT AFRAID soooooon please!!!! Xx
if you liked Dres part in this I recommend listening to "Forgot about Dre"
Per usual, you killed it
love this song, came out when i was in highschool along with the recovery album and i gotta say i feel lucky we had these bangers
I love how excited you got when you were piecing together the problem. Great reaction per usual
Thanks!
"Forgot About Dre" needs to be next 🥰
I only subbed yesterday and watch a few videos and the progression I've seen from you never listening to Eminem to now is brilliant, you can tell your listening and taking it in and Learning. It's a beautiful thing man it shows in your videos
Thanks to all who commented ..really helped me understand the history and context of this song. I'm a 2 year Stan 54 yo delving into all this great music! Say What You Say is my favorite Em and Dre track. Love this journey with ya Larry ❤
Thanks MG! Great to have you along for the ride!
watching you feel like watching me back when hearing all this for first time. love you dude! much heart to ya
lol, thanks!
🙏🏻💝 Thank you for this one.
The person in 8 mile who is always there and try to help him out is an actor who shows Proof role.
Dre came later on in his life and i can see in the other comments that you already have been filled in on that wonderfull story.
Have a wonderfull day and i am looking forward to your next reaction.
We really still need
Beautifull Pain with EM and Sia.
and love the way you lie with Rihanna. This song was first written by skylar grey and inspired Em to make love the way you lie
I love your energy larry and I wish you much success on your channel!
this song means a lot to me still listen to it everyday when i workout cant wait to watch this
That gravestone was for his best friend "EZ- E" founding member of NWA
Found the chanel today and I ain't ever go away from it. This is good content! Keep it up
lol, thanks so much!
Dr. Dre's backstory is a whole 'nother can of worms, there's so much to unpack there.
The lady playing the nurse is the singer Skylar Grey.
The grave was of easy E one of the members of NWA. Your reaction to this one was amazing you made me chuckle quite a bit. Keep it up Chris loving it buddy cheers 🍻
Absolutely love these reviews. You are brilliant 👏
Thanks so much!
Best reaction to this song by far! Great reaction!
Thanks so much VML!
1:01 8 Mile persona represented a well respected community member and a good pal with Eminem, Proof [may he Rest In Peace].-Ernie Moore Jr.
You know Em, Dre, 50, Snoop, and Kendrick all played at this year's super bowl right?
I was anticipating my lunch just to watch this today. “Future” in 8 mile, was playing proof. I’d love for a 3hr long 8 mile that showed him going through Wendy day, rap Olympics, then meeting Dre.
When I say I ran to grab my headphones to watch this. Been waiting for this one! Happy Easter
Thanks Josh! Happy Easter to you as well!
Great as always
Eminems friend in 8 mile name is Future and he actually represents Eminems best friend Proof that tragically died in real life.
Eric Wright is Easy-E, from NWA. That’s the group that Dr. Dre started with Ice Cube, MC Ren, and Arabian Prince.
that was Easy E aka Eric Wright's tombstone. He was the lead rapper for NWA with Dre in that group.
