    He was using prescription pills up to about 90 a day. He had a near overdose and that is when he knew he needed to get his crap together mentally and for his family. He is great friends with Elton John he helped him through that dark place. He has been clean for about 13 years now.

    I commend you for saying this is your favorite track actually cause one this is Em’s most important song in modern day as of 2010-2021 is Not Afraid this song introduced us to what Em was becoming he evolved and became better than what he was not just as a Hip Hop Artist/Rapper but overall as a human being Em is a better man than he was Em inspires me till this day and when Not Afraid came out I felt a sense of maturity from Em frfr Sobriety was the best thing to happen to Em’s life Em could’ve went out sad but he rose from those ashes and is back to being the man he was always chasing and is continuing to do what he loves and that’s having a stable life while continue doing his passion which is Hip Hop which he’s The Goat Of👊🏽🐐🙌🏽✨🎯💯(Also everytime I listen to Not Afraid I feel motivated and joyful yet emotional cause Em put his soul into this track and the choir was a nice touch as well to this track and Em can sing check out songs like She Loves Me,In Too Deep,Higher,Twisted etc. and the message at the beginning was mainly him speaking about his period of drug-addict depression, which has inspired his rebirth/sobriety and now Em is 12 or 13 years of being sober)

    I can't say enough cool things about him. He turned to Elton John for help, which he gladly did and still keeps in touch on a regular basis. He was tryna pay it forward with this song (my favorite of his btw). I've learned so much from him as a writer/lyricist and person. Great reaction, I love when ppl notice all the double entendres. 😎

    Great reaction !!! This is one of my favourite Eminem tracks - I’m loving that you’re starting to explore his catalogue - he has hundreds of bangers! I’m a massive Em (and old school hip hop) fan!
    You NEED to hear Sing For The Moment!!! It’s amazing - and has a great Aerosmith sample!
    Darkness is also a really important track - you need the video though!
    With Eminem, I’d start with the more straightforward tracks, especially the motivational ones or ones with comedy value.
    When Em is in his ‘lyrical miracle’ bag you could literally stop the track every line to catch the double/triple/quadruple entendres, the similes, metaphors, homophones etc. So it all depends how much you want to break it down! I loved it when you did this in your tøp reactions though so i’m excited for what’s to come!
    Can’t wait for more Em!!!

    There are tons of songs about addiction that have become mainstream hits but one that follows this kind of “follow me if you want out” theme, is “Cut the Cord” by Shinedown. The lead singer Brent Smith is in recovery and most of their songs have super deep meanings, relatable content, encouraging messages, etc. And a kick ass rock beat doesn’t hurt either 😂🤘🏼You really can’t go wrong with any Shinedown song. They’ve been making amazing music for 15+ years now. And as unbelievable as this may seem, they actually hold the record for the most songs to hit #1 on the US rock chart. Ever. Of any rock band in modern history.(including the Beatles and the Stones!) Cut the Cord, Monsters, and Save Me just are a few of my all-time favorites. The lyrics mean so much to me. Especially as someone in recovery. I know I’m not alone in this fight when I listen to those songs 💗

    It’s funny to me that I actually remember the very first time I heard this song. I’m in recovery and his lyric about the demons doing jumping jacks is something we say to explain to newcomers why they can’t afford to get complacent soon after initially getting sober. Or being sober for even under 2 years or so. Just bc we’re not actively using, it doesn’t mean we’ve won the war. Our addictions(demons) are still very much there, waiting for us to slip up and let them back in. Can’t even count how many times I’ve heard that lol, “Those monsters you’ve been keeping at bay, you think you’ve defeated em huh? Think you got this now right? Well I’m here to tell you that those bastards have been back there doing jumping jacks this whole time. And if you quit fighting or get overconfident that you’ve beat em, they’re gonna come back with a vengeance. Even stronger than they were. And you’ll be right back where you were when you first got here. Except this time it won’t take you 5 years to hit your rock bottom. It’ll only take one. Maybe two, if you’re lucky.” I knew immediately that Em had def spent some time “in the rooms” if he put that in a song 💪🏽🙌🏼🤍

    I think there is a place for a reflection or review videos along with reaction videos.
    You are so thoughtful in how you listen that I would be curious about your thoughts even if they are not an off the cuff response. Some material deserves more than on listen to really "get" in my opinion.
    I think that can be why so many people feel bittersweet about reactions. They expect people to always get the depth of a song or feel the same multiple layers on just on listen that they have with years of listening to a song.

  • @ronpotts6385
    @ronpotts6385 Před 2 lety

    I'm 40-freakin'-7years old and not at all knowledgeable about rap, but this is my very favorite Eminem song. Em went through a few years of Hell while addicted to prescription pills, in the mid to late 2000s. He really could have died from his addiction. Instead of trying to help him, people were hating on him, pointing out things like his sudden weight gain at the time instead. He released a so-so album called "Relapse" in 2008 or 2009, followed by "Recovery" in 2010. When I first heard "Not Afraid", it became my motivational anthem, as I was going through emotional issues then, the main one being the unexpected death of my father from cardiac arrest. My favorite lyric in the song, by far, is, " Ima be what I set out to be, without a doubt undoutably, and all those who look down on me, I'm tearing down your balcony". The song is genius because it's both a celebration of his recovery from drug addiction, and an indictment of anyone who was absent during his time of struggle.

    Glad to see you branching out, as I like your reactions but I'm not much into pop music, especially Boy-bandy stuff like 1D. Great reaction!
