It's crazy going back through Em's catalog, growing up with it I never realized how much the drugs affected his music. Everything between 8 mile and this album is basically him hitting rock bottom and relearning how to rap. Recovery is when he found his fire again.
you think thats why it called recovery?
Em did not need to find his fire. If you research Em you will find out that he was on fire from the 80's till this day. And even the albums that have negative response have still really good raps songs.
@@giovannigio3764 Sure there are gems on Encore and Relapse but there's a lot of crap too. Still none of it holds a candle to where he is lyrically today, dude is a monster now.
@@MrSmokeytehbear evil deeds, square dance, there's so many variety of gems he made... he's the same monster but a different breed now
Relapse was a great album though, even better than recovery
This is my sober anthem. Still touches me as much as it did 8 years ago when I got sober 🫶🏻
i hope 1 day myself i can echo your statement but i keep failing but not gonna give up
@@user-ss3zp6cv4v it’s not easy. You just gotta keep at it. One day at a time! You got it!!
well done. i hope you're still on a journey of sobriety and living well. never give in, your mind is a machine.
@@user-ss3zp6cv4v i'm with ya. just know wherever u are in the world, i'm somewhere else doing the same as you mate. we got this, stay strong.
trusted christ as personal saviour, because god in flesh, god son, died for the sins of the whole world on the cross(that we not have to go to hell for our sins, christ paid it all with hsi shed blood), also for you, christ was buried adn rose again on the 3rd day, all happened according to the scriptures(odl testament prophecies(jewish holy book)),
AND
if you believe it personal(treusitng christ and his finished work) you will get saved, its not fo works
I hate it when people say 'I want the old Eminem back' or 'he should start using again, because his music was way better under the influence of drugs and alcohol' What's wrong with these people?!! I'm just really happy he got his life back!!
Same
For random person this is just a great motivation song,
For the ones who know about Eminem history is this is the deepest motivation greatest song ever because he's not telling us like usual "do this,do that,don't worry" he just saying "just follow me".
This album is when Em became great again. He got sober and had to learn to rap all over again. Now he's aging like a fine wine.
and certainly not even thinking twice I would follow him.
Had tears in my eyes
I loved this reaction when he started dancing I lost it 😂
"You said you was (King), You lied through your (teeth) so fuk your Feelings (fillings) instead of getting (Crowned: in refernece to being a king) you're getting (Capped: getting shot down) but fillings, crowned and capped are all dental treatments refering back to lieing through your teeth." such a good line from Em
I quit drinking cold turkey 2 years ago. Probably the hardest thing I've ever done, but now I feel like I'm on top of that building with Em.
i’m proud of you, keep going strong man for real. 💯
@@9s11c Wow. Thank you so much for that! It means an incredible amount to me.
@@Jabokrazy of course man, an achievement like that deserves be celebrated, it’s truly not easy to commit to something like that. 💯
🙏🏽❤️
Congrats!! Truly that is good news!
When he says “i shouldn’t have to rhyme these lyrics for you to know it’s a rap” I think it really means I shouldn’t have to rhyme for you to know that I’m done with drugs. I’m wrapping up that old life to start a new.
But can we also appreciate the “I’m going to raise it like my daughters” line because of him actually being a great father. Hailey is his only biological daughter and he literally adopted his ex sister in laws daughter and adopted his ex wife’s daughter from another dude. Plus, he had full custody of his younger brother as well so he wouldn’t be placed on foster care. Like, no one ever talks about it but it gives songs like this so much more depth. And really adds to the character of who Eminem is as a person.
As someone going through recovery, it's been one of those weeks and this reaction and song hit the soul tonight. I needed this. I love Eminem and this song hits every time.
Same. This came in my feed when I really needed it 🫶🏻
You'll get good days / weeks and bad ones too...it's a marathon, it's a 15 round heavyweight fight, but you got this. You just need to keep going.
I speak from personal experience. Me ? I personally might never be free of my demons because like he said, "they're always there" but I'm stronger now and the price of not letting them back in is eternal vigilance.
Over the years.....just reading the comments under Eminems songs. I've read some of the most inspiring moments from people that credit Eminem with helping them get through some really black times in their lives! A lot of heart wrenching things people have gone through! These are the people... that thank Em for helping them through it all....get off drugs, alcohol, etc... Because Eminem has shared his pain and demons....he has touched so many lives in ways I've never seen before ...from any other artist! His fans are extremely loyal for a reason....😁
That final verse before the last chorus gives me chills every single time. “I’d shoot for the moon, but I’m too busy gazing the stars. I feel amazing and I’m…”
I’m my opinion, Recovery was one of the BEST rap albums of all time. Every song is a classic about struggle or overcoming struggle. Try “Talking to Myself”
25 to life was also amazing
"Because I solemnly swear to always treat this roof like my daughters, and raise it. You couldn't lift a single shingle on it!"
15yr old me thought this line was soo clever haha.
10 yrs later, my mind about it hasn't changed a bit.
@@cupofjoe6489 15 yo me thought this line was so clever, 1 year later and I still think it is
I was just listening to this song, perfect timing, this is definitely in my top 3 favourites
Same! Haha
Same too guys! Lol!
You're my new favorite CZcams channel.
fun fact:
This song comes from the same album as "Going Through Changes," which came before this song in the tracklist. I think it's fitting that they work together as two sides of his life addiction: The battle, and then the recovery.
Em’s ALWAYS raised his daughter flawlessly and the two he adopted from Kim’s side. He never had to do that. He chose to. Not for Kim. For those little girls. He can’t treat his family any better than he always has. He had a rule that he made everyone follow. No cursing in his home. That might be a no brainer, but given how he was raised, he used that as an example on how NOT to parent. Look at his biological daughter, Hailee. She’s a beautiful, highly intelligent woman. She just started a podcast called, “Just A little Shady”. How cute is that? Em was an amazing Father and it shows.
I'm a massive Em fan and when I first heard this particular tune it really gave me the kick up the backside I needed because I'm a recovering addict and I was trying 2 get clean when this album came out, Im clean 10yrs now but my point is this tune came out at the perfect time 4 me not saying this tune got me clean I did that myself but it definitely hit home... Luv ur reactions many thanks from across the pond Dublin Ireland 👍🇮🇪🇺🇸🇮🇪💚
Respect to you 🙏 ❤ my friend. God bless.
Tom, your reactions are incredibly heartwarming and fun. Your personality shines through every single time and it makes me genuinely happy 😊🥰♥️
Lovely comment and I fully agree 👍 👏
Agree!
👍
This song got me through school when i was dealing with some heavy depression and bullying.
Eminem is a pure genius, love everything he does while he’s still here 😁
I love how in most videos he really thoroughfully examines the songs, but in this one he just can't help but really vibe
I love this song so much it gets me so emotional, and the fact that he’s been sober for 14 years now?? Incredible honestly, especially in the industry he’s in. I’ve been struggling with addiction on and off for 11 years and this song just.. it hits
Amen!!😊👍
@@ReactionTherapyOfficial One thing amazed me is i saw a picture from a appearance Eminem and Snoop did a few weeks ago and Em was standing in a cloud of weed smoke. Must be heard being around stuff like that but i imagine his very disciplined about his sobriety
@@OleMariusHovind Really do you know where I can find that photo?
@@kimjunguno6549 Epro eminem support or something on youtube
The whole Recovery album is awesome just like this song!
You should do “talking 2 my self”
“Going through changes” from same album
I always come back to this song when i feel like i'm losing myself, great reaction !
I'm suscribing 🙌🏼
Eminem’s recovery album got me through sobriety. Almost a year clean
Love the progression of this channel. 🤣🤣😂😂🤣😂🤣
Dude went from experimenting with rap to becoming a friggin hype man. LOL.
Your ability to catch the bars and wordplays is amazing!
Yes Tom, great reaction! No matter how many times I hear this track, it still gives me goosebumps! Have a good one T 🥃
I saw this one pop up and tuned in immediately! I Love this song! I learned to rap this (and over 50 other Em songs) track years ago, so I was rapping it while watching you get hype to it.
This song is my Top 5 favorites in all of Em's catalogue, hands down. Before you said, "Anthem" I said the same word! It is an Anthem of recovery; a triumphant homage to where he's been, and as hindsight shows us now, where he went. Absolutely love this reaction Tom! So many good memories with this track.
Thanks so much DJ! Appreciate your comments and your support😊
When he says he would shoot for the moon but he’s too busy gazing at the stars, I like your interpretation. For, me I always took it as the stars are much further than the moon, so he’s actually shooting much farther and multiple/infinite. Like, why just settle for the moon when there’s infinite past that level
There are approximately 200 billion trillion stars in the universe. Or put more simply 200 sextillion. That's 200,000,000,000,000,000,000,000! The number is so big, it's hard to imagine.
January 28th 2012 my sober day and thank god for this song. Nobody will ever have an idea of how much this song helped me back then!
This has been an anthem for me for a while. Love the reactions to see how everyone else feels about them now. When you have to put down a substance and never pick it up again, this is a good one for that. Because he’s right, the demons are getting stronger but so do you.
Just so you know.
This is the lead single from him album.
RECOVERY...
Yeesssss!!!!!! One of my favourite songs!!!
Fab reaction Tom, thanks so much for doing this one and I’m so glad you loved this track so much!
Like loads of Eminem fans, this song means a lot to me and has got me through some really hard times, thankfully like Em these are also wayyyy in the past!
Every year on Eminem’s ‘sober’ anniversary, he usually posts a photo of his new AA/NA pin with the number of years he has sober and then ‘I’m Not Afraid’, so this year it was ‘’14 I’m Not Afraid’’ (or sometimes he posts ‘Still Not Afraid’ lol).
This is a huge song and you got the meaning spot on! You were correct about the exercise/exorcise double! Go back and check out the ‘teeth’ wordplay earlier in the song too, the whole ‘fillings/feelings, crowned, capped’ etc, another clever use of homophones and doubles.
It’s a bit older, but Em’s track ‘Sing for the Moment’ is also super motivating, but in a different way. I won’t spoil it but he talks about why he raps, who he raps for and how he feels about all the bs that was going on in his life at the time. There’s an awesome Aerosmith sample too! You’ll love it!
Road to 200K let’s go!!!!!!!
I struggle with addiction I've relapsed a few times but I'm fighting I really love this song
Tom spitting bars while he reacted 💀 😂
This might be my favourite reaction video, EVER. You really get it!
Your REACTION, is why I watch. AS ALWAYS, U DIDN'T DISAPPOINT!
MENTAL HEALTH,DON'T BE AFRAID TO SPEAK UP.
This song helped me so much to graduate high school, gave me motivation everyday on my last year. Still my top 3 from em cuz of that🔥
I would love for Eminem to agree to talk to you on camera to just see how on point you are with his music. I have a feeling you are more on point than you even realize. And I think it would be a boost for him to see someone in your job position to have admiration for his music. I think it would be a huge boost for both sides. I know it's a long shot given his fame but it would be pretty awesome
Such a good song. It's one of those that gets you so pumped up!! Inspiring, but also just makes us fans just stand by him even more.
I just watched Hailie's new podcast today, and he didn't lie, he did what he said he would do and he raised an amazing daughter. 😊
Great reaction 💙
This song helped me a lot , and now this video bring me so much joy ! Cheers from Brazil.
Eminem is a Genius, and he saved , and still saving so many lives with his music 😉👏❤️🐐🔥🙌
love how hype this gets you
This is one of my favorite reaction videos on your channel so far. I’m sure I’ll have more new favorites in a month or sooner. Love your channel man!
"No beating people down...." (LOOK'S AT KILLSHOT) HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I love to killshot though, & kelly asked for it😂
This Man is a treasure so much joy
Amazing song! Amazing reaction!
Thanks gavin!😊
Love this song, even tho it got super overplayed everywhere in the world when it first came out. Love this reaction. W.
Thank you Mazin!!!😊👍
It has got to be the ultimate mental health fight song!! This album and stuff that followed this album, it saves you at your lowest, it’s says what you need to hear, it in inspires life and motivates one more time, when you are nearly finished yet there is still more to come!!!
This is so amazing!!!! I’ve been waiting for this one
This was the first Eminem song I heard unknowingly on autoplay and didn't think too much of it, but later I went back in my history to see what it was and that's when I went down the Eminem rabbithole :p
“I wanna hear wisdom.” Yes sirrrr I feel that. So much wisdom, yes 👍🏼
I absolutely love this reaction. Thanks for the reminder that true kindness is still out there and that joy is infectious.
That energy from that guy !! This what people need today
This song gets me every time.
Another brilliant video and one of our favourite Eminem tracks. Keep doing what you are doing and sharing your amazing energy.
Your videos have cheered me up today after immense heartbreak so thank you for doing these reaction videos :)
Damn I’m still not much better than I was back 2 months ago.
This song helped me get through some tough times in 2013 and now 10 years later I feel like a new person got my life on track and not gonna look back I defeated my demons and you can to
Not afraid is probably my most listen eminem song.
I been down that road!!! This is my fav Eminem song!!! 🔥🔥🔥
With the “exercise demons” thing, it’s also about physical exercise like gym. Like give em hell that they gotta work their asses off. They’re holding you back and so you become weak and make it easy for them. Time to kick it up and make them work if they wanna try hold you back! Pretty cool huh? :D love how much you just enjoy yourself and feel through his lyrics. That’s how it’s supposed to be.
One of my favorites songs of him.....! Great reaction!
Love your energy and insight 💕
This song is so good. Literally one of my favorite em songs . Great reaction and thanks for the lessons
Thanks so much for this!😊👍
I love every one of your reactions.The point of view you have as middle aged white man dancing and enjoying this music makes me smile as big as I can.Your an amazing human and I hope em sees these videos.
i love that day by day you really enjoying the music and hyped especially eminem 💯
This was a pleasure to watch. What a song from one of the greatest!
I LOVE your energy. THANK YOU for being you!
loved the reaction man ❤️
cheers from New Zealand 🤙
This was the song I played on repeat in my recovery
Even though I love his old music just as much this is the song I probably had on repeat the most.
It’s a joy to see you react to this!
That's one of my top favorites he released in the recent years
❤
I LOVE this reactors Energy!!! You gained a subscriber
Love your reactions man! Your energy is amazing, i love it!❤
Love from the Netherlands🇳🇱❤
Lol love that you dance around and let your inner light shine! Your reactions and smiles makes me believe that happiness can be had! Much love as always!
Man life was simple when this song came out I was so young lol
Eminem is literally the most important person on the planet.
Ohhhhh Finally!!!!!! I've been asking for this so many times.Thz brother.
You should react to slippin - DMX .. dmx went off on this one.. there's literally a million emotions behind every single bar
9:11 - Yeah the exercise/exorcise double is one of the crispest because HE has them doing jumping jacks now. He's getting rid of them and they aren't strong enough to fight back as they are so they're exercising trying to keep up, which means he has to keep at it harder than them.
I love your energy that transmits in this reaction
You should listen to beautiful by Eminem, it's about his mental health at the time of his drug addiction
I am so stoked for this.
The greatest artist that ever walked the planet.
I am honoured to be alive at the same time.
You are so wonderful and watching your videos brings me so much joy.
This is the song that got me into eminem, back when I was 10 or so seeing it on the TV, the music video captured me along with his passion
i love your energy in this reaction!!!!
I love your energy that transmits in this reaction
Damn this track got my boi dancing 😭🤣. Love these reactions 💯
I’m 5 year clean from a 11 year heroin addiction. God damn this song speaks volumes to me and was one of the last tracks I listened too that helped me get help I needed.
Em likely saved my life with his recovery album.
Please do space bound it helped me with my breakup n depression n anxiety after my life went downhill there’s 2 lines that make me tear up bc I relate to it sooooo much
Only reaction channel where the reaction got me laughing hella hard 😂🙏🏽
We are just blessed to be part of Em journey including relapse every album touched me so much
Automatic thumbs up for me on this track. One of his best tracks ever.
Watching your videos makes me happy ahaha idk why... positive vibes 🤘 keep it goin'
Top 5 all time song for me. Thanks Tom 🔥🔥🔥
Great video 👍
Always a fun watch
I’d recommend “darkness”🤔
One of the newer songs but still great
What a fun dude you are! Enjoyed this reaction!
in 2 sentences you understood what the song was about. incredible haha
