Man I love em, but damn id love to chill with the dozen. I remember back when I was 10 years old, I got D12 world, and I had to hide it from my parents because they didnt want me listening to them! I used to use my sony disc player and jam to the tunes at night and on the school bus! I love Marshall but it sucks that he sometimes over shadows these guys, to me these guys are some of the greats! Bless the dozen and RIP Bugz and Proof!

[@ByronHendersonOfficial]

Dude, I miss Proof so much man 😕

[@ByronHendersonOfficial]

***** First of all, I don't have to know him personally to miss him. His music had a major impact on my life. I met him before he was killed, and he was a very humble dude. Second of all, why are you even worried about it? Worry about yourself dude...

[@ByronHendersonOfficial]

***** Okay cool. We're good. I get defensive about stuff like that because he was my best friend's favorite rapper, and she died in January. You never know what people have been through, you know?

[@ByronHendersonOfficial]

***** Eminem & Proof's relationship inspired every song I've ever recorded about her because ours was similar. It just cuts real deep man.

[@dlafaive1989]

+charlesandjulien I totally agree with you. These guys are amazing vets in the game. Most people only know Eminem for his more recent hits like Not Afraid, Love The Way You Lie, Monster etc. Some of his best hits are with D12 and Dr. Dre. I believe they'll get together for one more album when he isn't so busy with establishing Slaughterhouse and Yelawolf.

[@queenmadison2743]

D12 is that group that stayed so true to their roots

[@NYorksElcapitan]

These are proper mcs I can't believe they don't get the recognition they deserve

[@friedchickenloverr]

@@raimondainsar4519 yeah but the other dudes in D12 never get recognized. The group does, but Denaun, Proof, Kuniva, and Swift are all dope MCs who get no respect as solo artists. They're recognized as a group, not their individual artists

[@EsperanzaRomero_]

Kuniva killed that 5 fingers of death! That shit was fire.🔥

[@bdr113080]

Yeah everyone in D-12 can spit, they are all pretty underrated .

[@poseidonwarrior6111]

Hey a D12 interview that isn't totally full of questions about Eminem

[@jokermaness]

Idk man he is a pretty big part of the group

[@andreszapata6471]

Who is d12? How they get started? 😂

[@lucasholzkamp3654]

😊

[@bunnybismuth]

@@andreszapata6471 "But what about Eminem?"

[@MrNoobmove]

Only real guys know about D12...Old school. Just want to say Thank you to whoever respects D12 and what they stand for because this newer generation don't know sh**.

[@KidScav]

💯

[@dlafaive1989]

True fans listen to and respect D12. If it wasn't for them, especially Proof, we wouldn't even have Eminem

[@rachaelparker7894]

@dl. I slightly disagree. I.wouldn't give all credit to d12. Don't get me wrong theyre awesome...But Em started in the middle 90s before.he even collabed with d12. If anything Dr Dre gets the credit for exposing Em to the world and helping him get started.

[@bellabati1156]

MrNoobmove exactly ♡

[@lostinsauce4515]

I was born in 02 and I've been rockin d12 and old school hip-hop since birth

[@alsmith5952]

D12...... Another one of the realest and underrated REAL RAP Groups still in the GAME!!!! 313 ALL DAY!!!!!

[@dgmobbdeep]

Few cats know about that band. They’re MC’s. Not rappers.

[@daffedavidsen6306]

What you mean few ?

[@daffedavidsen6306]

​@@dgmobbdeepwhat you mean

[@K_Hinchman27]

Kuniva had me hyped, I been a D12 fan since Day 1.

[@inzo313]

"Put you in chokeholds I learned last week from the policeman who caught me stealing weed from his jeep!" 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👍

[@dlafaive1989]

I was bumping that song yesterday on my way to work

[@twitchyn6467]

+Chef Tony I remain fatter than gluttony, tapin' bombs on the back of record companies

[@TinuolaVictoria]

I love these guys to death. They family in my household. Salute DTwizzy.

[@phillysheed01]

Koniva absolutely killed the 5 Fingers!

[@MrMaximum91]

The backstory about Bizzare's lyrics on fight music has me dying right now lmao

[@user-wy4jl3dr3g]

Proof really was something special I miss him so much one of the greatest MC. R.I.P Proof gone but you will never be forgotten.

[@daffedavidsen6306]

You miss him so much ? Did you know him

[@FreeTheColonized]

i love there verses from my band

[@TopShotta10904]

Lol werd

[@kingadalou]

"Jordon on crack, i refuse to pass the rock"

[@MetalGearEeezus]

Kuniva snapped! lol

[@valid3383]

The sound D12 had needs to come back. Just hard ass beats. Every track 🔥.

[@sowhat8639]

Good to see these guys again. D12 is back!

[@GreenDope1]

one of the best intros lol, Devil's Night is a god damn classic!

[@sokmetopurt7271]

GreenDope1 the mixtape?

[@frankwave776]

How did they not know "devil's son" by big L. That's like his best song in my opinion.

[@amberlacey]

I thought they would know that, but I didn't know others besides rza's second group

[@shortbus1127]

+Gail Kelly I got them all right...I was late on the Rza one tho...knew it, but didn't get it

[@markjones5757]

you say that as if most hip-hop fans would be able to name a Big L song off the top of their head.

[@josh6221]

Ikr

[@HULKHOGAN1]

Big L was the only one I knew. These guys knew the more underground shit I guess which speaks volumes

[@BabyRibs]

Ayyy D12 ! much love

[@randomshmoe5028]

9:24 that's what 'my band' is about

[@lindanemnguni1621]

Eminem and D12 should call Royce da 5'9 and Mr porter to join forces and make a new album D12 return because they're the most underrated group in hip-hop

[@daffedavidsen6306]

Royce was never in d12. They had beef for a while. But it would be dope!!

[@daffedavidsen6306]

Mr. Porter after em got clean and he became his hype man, he never made music with the rest of the group again 😞 don't know why

[@harp860]

S/O to Kuniva for beasting that 5 fingas of death....

[@djwarzone1]

D12! Fire. Kuniva went off

[@corbindallas18]

He went straight black out rap mode.

[@str8frmthacr8]

Kuniva killed it. Lol.

[@Hugo-tf6no]

Damn, Kuniva was hilarious

[@BiNDiViSUAL]

Sway says hyenas and the DJ plays wolf sounds, just think about that for a second

[@mitchheaden7727]

BiNDiViSUAL I’m surprised no one has said anything yet. A Hyena might not sound so recognizable,or just say wolves. Lol

[@raulmoreno5676]

Best fucking interview

[@Josh-pg3qb]

Man I wish Em would feature them on some of his new songs

[@BSCLU]

"I'ma pass it to Swifty" - Bizarre. Dope interview though.

[@lindanemnguni1621]

D12 never lost love for each other

[@Asvpsupreme]

Shit yo kuniva went off. Denaun should be there and where's em at?

[@BamMadness]

I just found a new respect for him. I want more. Now.

[@rebeccahopkins9522]

“Want some positive sht? Listen to Kendrick Lamar. Want some crazy sht? Listen to Bizarre”. God I love him. Always have 😂🤣

[@jasoncoleman3438]

It wasnt a group it was his group Swift put that together !! get yo props homie !!

[@totaltruth112]

RIP Proof

[@StuntTriple]

Devils Night Mixtape is fire!!

[@WeabeOfficialMusic]

Used to listen to these 15-16 years ago when I was a kid.

[@sandmanxl2338]

Tbh my favorite member has always been bizarre

[@alexenache6942]

[@TheProphetsMagic078]

Bizzar doesn't even know the words to his own verse xD

[@mact412]

Kuniva went in

[@jimbojankerson5610]

"I'm like Jordan on crack and I refuse to pass the rock" 🔥🔥🔥

[@andrewmathibe6682]

[@matthewmann8969]

[@daffedavidsen6306]

Nah it ended up best

[@Tommy4gm]

D12 y'all the shit....I grew up on that Devils night and world...Eminem my nigga but he need to realize his voice was and is much needed to help push the record....WTF Marshall gone Hollywood??.....Shout out Kuniva for talkin bout Pat Stay vs Marvone...classic battle makin fun of retarded family members and shit!...Shout out to Juice for putting Marshall in a box..CHITOWN!

[@patrick5034]

These guys literally dissed and destroyed everyone back in my day and now their grown they found respect, I love D 12

[@shurvellKTA]

Kept thinking that marshawn lynch at the end lol

[@simongamer987]

Sway so respectful that was the best intro

[@IMTHATN1NJA]

Shit wouldve been dope if eminem popped out while they were freestyling and dropped some bars, but still amazing had me hyped

[@ricardocasimir8097]

I’ve been fuckin with D12 since devils night. Good times of my adolescence in the early 2000’s

[@MPheeniksM]

THAT INTRO

[@XHale]

[@byou6359]

Rest in Heaven Proof and Bugs ...good kind sweet souls

[@skribblez]

the only reason they got they got this interview and were interviewed for nearly an hour is cos eminem owns the station. dont get it twisted i rate D12 an they deserve the recognition

[@TERRELLTURNER1999]

[@daffedavidsen6306]

Eminem did not get this interview for them 😂 They are legends! And this radio station interviews everyone

[@THEDOORIZCLOSED]
