D12 Interview On MTV - 2004 [INEDIT]

[@moccina]

The fact that he signed his boys that he knew from the beginning and before he blew up shows Marshal's true character.

[@SlimLPShady]

Yeah but not exactly, if you know him and his boys from the day personally from Osborne and the group. Then you know his "boys" from the day are beefing him. Look up Kuniva - Gun Shots.

It was crazy how on Toy Soldiers they depicted Proof dying, im pretty sure at one point Em admitted he felt guilty for doing that and then it actually happening. What a damn shame , out of that small crew of friends , one dead at 21, one dead at 32, and Em himself almost died , they went hard af

[@woahowaj._8519]

Actually it was Bugz they were depicting in Toy Soldiers since he was a former member of d12 too, but he was murdered before they became famous.

[@RodgersXLVmvp]

I was meaning that Proof was the one actually acting the part , Proof was actually in the music video as the one gettin shot , and its crazy how Proof was the one they chose to be shot , and then he actually did end up being shot. When I said "one dead at 21" thats when I was talkin about Bugz .. I thought It was actually obvious what I was trying to say, but I guess you just actually didnt know that Proof was the one actually acting in the music vid, but I mean, I guess now you actually know.

[@woahowaj._8519]

RodgersXLVmvp no I knew that I just thought you meant they were depicting proof dying and I thought u didn’t know it was bugz. I know what age they died at and stuff. I think everyone who listens to them knows stuff like that.

Wow you can see Em was really getting into drugs by this point....his eyes just seem gone

[@RodgersXLVmvp]

Yo he was heavy into drugs wayyyyy before this lmao , he even says so on sslp multiple times. at this point , the difference was he had the money and resources to be high 24/7 , which easily can get out of control and eventually did. Plus he "didnt have to buy any drugs cause people just gave them to him" lol

[@LisaWaughscotland]

It's common knowledge he was into all sorts of drugs, so it doesn't take a genius to work out that probably 99.9% of everything that came out his mouth at that time was said under the influence, so yeah, u can see he was wasted, but that's no secret, didn't seem to affect his lyrical genius, and still doesnt, so hes just as good whether hes wasted or straight, that's just pure talent

[@RodgersXLVmvp]

Shit probably sometimes better even, , drugs have helped inspire several artists , especially with music and other forms of art, plus most people who are that brilliant cant handle this reality without them. Mainly its psychedelics and stimulants that can inspire something great,, which Em early on was def more into shit that sped him up , he wasprobably awake 3 days straight off cocaine , ecstacy, loratabs, speed, etc just doing nothing but writing lyrics. Its crystal clear what drugs he was into just from his lyrics, for one he straight up tells you, but also the fast pace , anger , agression , etc.. I dont think he start the downers and shit till later on, once he started to age , and after proof died , cause once you start to age you start to enjoy sleep more lol , and depression makes you wanna sleep all day and keep secluded , which was Em for sure , like 07-10 , time period between Relapse and Recovery, probably doing both , to balance the other one out , thats most likely how he ODed, mixing the two.

[@EAZYEfrain]
