Fun fact: Eminem recently opened a restaurant in Detroit called Mom's Spaghetti. They donated a ton of food to essential workers during the heyday of the pandemic.

Real fun fact. Moms spaghetti is technically inside a different restaurant and served out the back, literally as a small store front.

That “1, 3” is called syncopated rhythm . “Syncopation occurs when a rhythmic pattern that typically occurs on strong beats or strong parts of the beat occurs instead on weak beats or weak parts of the beat. Most pop/rock songs have a mixture of syncopated and “straight” rhythms.” Eminem is most def a master

[@someordinarystan2692]

Jay Z on one of his interviews talks about how Em's voice is like a syncopated instrument on itself.

EMINEM’s character was actually writing the song throughout the movie like the scene where he was writing on the bus you could hear the beat playing with the occasional word sprinkled in as he was piecing it together. Between writing, filming, and recording he was literally getting 2 hours of sleep a night. He helped write the script, he was the star of the movie, he was recording songs for the soundtrack, and he executive produced the soundtrack under his own label. The scenes where you see him with his headphones on writing music he actually was writing this song in real life. Because he was only getting 2 hours of sleep a night though this is when he started taking the sleep medication he became addicted to. This song was the first ever time a rap song has won an Emmy. This song came out in 2002, but in 2015 he found an unreleased version of the song he thought he lost that is quite a bit different from this one with a more bare bones instrumental. He released it on an album called Shady XV which stands for Shady 15 since it was the 15th anniversary of the founding of his record label. Shady XV was a collection of greatest hits from all the artists on his label over that 15 year span and a bonus CD full of new songs from everyone on his label that just didn’t quite fit the theme of a full album. The final track on that CD is pretty interesting. It’s called Twisted and it’s EMINEM featuring Yelawolf and Skylar Grey. You haven’t heard either one of them yet I don’t think, but Yelawolf is kind of like a southern country style rapper and Skylar Grey is a Pop artist and model EMINEM took under his wing. She does a lot of hooks for him, he executive produced two of her albums and featured on some of her songs and she is actually also a ghostwriter and has written songs for Rihanna, Beyoncé, etc. she even wrote the Love the Way You Lie hook Rihanna sang for EMINEM.

[@mariacristescu]

I am so proud of myself that apart from the Skyler Grey part I knew all of the above and was about to comment‼️I love the community here‼️Always polite,helpful and informative‼️and all in tune with Larry:”How can you not ❤️him to death”‼️Em’s skill talent passion,commitment throughout his evolution is beyond words‼️He is simply magic‼️

When this first came out, it was HUGE!!! I'll never forget being at a school dance and, as soon as this song came on, literally every student there jumped up with their fists in the air and cheered in unison. That dance was LIT while it played! There wasn't another popular song played that night that got even remotely close to that much of a pop from us when the DJ dropped it.

This song was released 2002. I was failing my Medical Laboratory Technology Sciences Program. I had one last chance and I ate a massive piece of humble pie and showed up to my professor's office for help 2 hours before class start. That morning I learned I had a learning disorder that my prof called a "gift." He said in his entire 20+ year career as a teacher, he knew only 5 others who were like me. One went to med school. The others became managers and supervisors. I graduated with honours!!! Doctors I worked with encouraged me to consider med school. I opted to be a supervisor/manager. This song was what motivated me to go for it. I had nothing to lose. And I'm glad I did.

[@larryshair]

That is an incredible story!!!

[@slimangel]

"How can you not love this guy to death" So welcome Larry, your official an Eminem Fan now ❤️❤️❤️ Btw you need to watch as he preformed that song at the oscars, I guess 2 years ago. You miss his reference to Stephen King's Salem's Lot. Yes 8 Mile is an actual street, Eminem described it as the border between the rich and the poor people, in that case sadly it means between the white and the colored people. And he obvious don't live on the rich side. On a scale from 1-10 this song is a 11. It's one of his best! 8 Mile is a 10, and one of the few movies I watched more then once in cinema. Yes the End battle in the movie is the best! Tell them what they don't know about me...

Yes you are correct 8 mile is a real place. Basically runs straight through the roughest part of Detroit. Detroit roads are set up like a grid so for every mile road away from 8 mile,9 mile 10 mile 11 mile etc, you get farther away from downtown. Also, like many major cities of course there are rough areas but Detroit is full of some of the best restaurants, shops, businesses, entrepreneurs, vinyl record production, sports history, automobile manufacturing, and so much more. I ❤️ this city!!!

[@aprilwoods3894]

This has always been one of my favs by Em. 8 mile is real. It's the major East/West Rd bisecting Woodward Ave, the main N/S thruway in SE Michigan. There are 37 "mile" roads. But, not all of them are called "mile" roads. I live on 6 mile, also known as McNichols for the original president of the University of Detroit, which is located on 6 mile. All that said, Em is a lyrical genius. No question. Shortly after 8 Mile, he did a Superbowl commercial for Chrysler that used the guitar riff from this song! It was pretty sweet.

[@biancacolcea3706]

[@biancacolcea3706]

Actually, in the last battle Em really took everyone by surprise and the reactions were genuine because he hadn't rehearsed that part before, he wanted it to be real. So that guy really heard it right then for the first time. And Em was writing his battle bits during breaks on set, plus, when they rehearsed Em would just mimic it because he wanted to save his voice for the actual take. There is bonus footage on the dvd but you can find it online as well, where the rapper in him can't take it anymore and does actual little rap battles with people from the crowd just for the fun of it:)

[@novanvandamma915]

And Anthony Mackie (Papa Doc, the final battle) said Em asked him if he is fine if he puts something to make it better or something, Mackie cools with it. And those lyrics about him going to good school and having good parents is basically about Mackie's real life, so his reaction in the movie is kind of genuine because he didn't expect Em to actually diss his real life situation. Lmao. He said this in an interview, it is available on YT.

I discovered Eminem back in '98, in my mid to late 20's. I got so much flack for listening to him! And I listened to him daily for years! Marshall Mathers is a poet, plain and simple! He transcribes his perceptions, emotions, insight, knowledge, and experience into absolutely brilliant rhyme schemes and hooks (chorus). He has depth, but at the same time can be a comedian - he can also be monster. He can play any character in any movie, with using just his words. G.O.A.T.

@Michael Kiely Yeah, you're right. It was '99. Off by a year, my bad. Good thing you caught me lying! smh

[@chadd3299]

Actual 8 mile road…so…Detroit is a wheel and spoke configuration; i.e., the north and south roads meet together downtown in the center and then get further and further apart the greater the distance from downtown you get. The east and west roads that run parallel provide the counterbalance to that. The mile roads run east and west. There is a 5 mile on the west side. But it’s usually considered to start at 6 mile, which is also called McNichols. It goes all the way up to 33 or 34 mile road out by Romeo (where kid rock is actually from). The Detroit city limits stop/start at 8 mile road (anything north is considered the suburbs or Metro Detroit), which is 20 miles long and goes from Lake St Clair all the way out to god knows where-Milford maybe? And turns into M-102. It is a real road and the dividing line is real. Just like Woodward is generally accepted as the north/south line that divides east and west Detroit. I’ve lived on 7 mile, 9 mile, 10 mile and all the way up to 23 mile. But once you know the configuration, it’s very easy to navigate the city. But everyone learns really young about 8 mile. He grew up around 8 mile and Hoover. Where he always talks about 7 mile and Runyon, Runyon is just to the west of Hoover. He used to live on Dresden street, which is a few blocks east of Runyon. Both are by Osborne high school, where Proof went (and the 16 year anniversary of his death is a week from today).

I remember having to read Ann Frank's Diary in the 7th grade and only made it through because of Em. My progress in English was so fast that even my grandmother took an interest in Em and we went to see 8 mile together in the theaters on the second day it was released, she didnt get the rap battles but she did love the movie and said he was an incredible actor. She's still alive and well and that day is still a great memory to her 😁 and to me obviously. A very famous, now dead, french artist called Charles Aznavour, said that rappers are the poet's legacy, i simply agree 😁

I have only watched 4 of your videos at this time and I am attracted to your sensitivity to the songs that you played by eminem (when I'm gone, toy soldiers, not afraid, and lose yourself). Eminem is my absolute favorite artist of ALL TIME as I can relate to so much of his life it isn't funny. I even grew up near the same district as Eminem and I as a white girl definitely know the battles and hardships that a dysfunctional family and a minority that eminem went through. I know this video is probably quite old and you've surely learned much more about eminem from the time of this post. By no means am I being disrespectful to you when I say you have much to learn about eminem if you continue to research, watch, listen, and read about his songs and life. I'm sure by now you know that 8 mile is a real place in Detroit and his movie and life are based on that neighborhood. Every post you have done so far has made me cry as I love those songs myself and have followed eminem since he broke out in 2000 (that's when I became aware of him) as I was mostly against listening to hip hop/ rap myself and I also being a Christian. It goes strongly against the flow of the church and like eminem, I just don't care what the church thinks about eminem or other unapproved music. Keep up the good work.

I know that feeling as I am a Christian myself. As em would say, I just don't give a fuck cuz I am whatever you say I am. This man is too gifted and honest for me to be bias.

Bro.. this song blew people away who were heavy into the next lyricist. “Pied piper, ampli-fied by tha” “ I can’t, my nine to, five-a” “ provide, the right type-a” Nobody was hitting those rhyme schemes or bending the word to fit the timing correctly. He manipulates the syllable to change the word, but keeps the word. Rhyming single syllables with compounds, or breaking a compound syllable in to 2 singles while flowing into a A,B pattern.. it was the illest shit you hear back then, and he’s still lyrically the most impressive today.

Someone has probably already mentioned this, but an amazing song from this soundtrack that really showcases his storytelling ability is Rabbit Run. I love your smile through all these Em reactions 😁. For alot of us Em was like our crazy Uncle who always knew what to say to get us through all of life's growing pains. Glad you're experiencing it too ✊🏽

[@beccabrown75]

Love the joy you exude in your clips as you discover the maestro that is Eminem!

[@mimiloveee9]

[@JessicaWatts]

I just came across your channel I absolutely love your genuine reactions - especially eminem-I’m so happy u have such a open mind watching and became a fan

[@larryshair]

Thanks so much JM!

[@adammarkk]

Your videos make me so happy Larry! Em inspired me to rap in high school, and it gave me so much confidence. I performed at two talent shows, and if it wasn’t for Em, I would have never had the courage to do that.

[@fejrskov]

It is such a joy to watch how exited you are for this (or him). Keep it up.

[@melthebell33]

Great song, probably my favourite Em song, makes every hair on my body stand on end, love it. The flow is just immense, its relentless.

8 Mile Road is a real road in Detroit. His whole reference to it is because that road historically serves as the defacto border between the dichotomy of the poorer mostly black inner city of Detroit from the more affluent mostly white suburbs. 8 Mile is a wild area. All along that road there are many bars, nightclubs, strip clubs, and after hours clubs. One block south is a more crime riddled drug infested area with lots of burned out vacant homes. Whereas one block north of 8 mile things are cleaner a visibly safer. Shit schools to the south. Great schools to the north. Corner and liquor stores to the south to get groceries. Massive Kroger and Whole Foods stores to the north to get groceries. I’ve been to a KFC on 7 Mile Road that had bullet proof glass at the counter where you order with a turntable to give you your food. Eminem was one of the minority of poorer white people to grow up and go to school south of the 8 Mile border. That should give you a little more background of the whole relevance of 8 Mile in his life. Hope that helps.

There's also an 8 Mile Ending Rap Battle video that Stans react to. Since you are a Stan now 😆 you should react to that.

This song is phenomenal. To me it is his best. I feel for your son and understand. I graduated high school without any ambition or goals. Got married at 20 Held many jobs-some of which were not bad. But at 30 figured out what I wanted to do and got my education and career. Personally I'm glad I didn't go right away. Everybody, of course, is different. Wishing the best for you and your son. Tim from Texas

[@EmShannon]

Awesome! I was actually expecting it to come out on April, 5th (my birthday), only because you said it in the shorts,video. Awesome tho I’ll take this as an early present. Thanks Larry

[@rapgod8990]

Yes!! Its eminem reaction!💯🔥💕 tnx bro! Love this channel!

[@larryshair]

Thanks so much!

[@matthewsmith1391]

You should watch the special features/behind the scenes of the final rap battles. You get to see Eminem freestyle against actual local battle rappers

[@Ry13977]

You should listen to Eminem’s verse in Airplanes part 2. It’s underrated in my opinion

[@DoubtRage]

I would recommend the songs he did with Rihanna "love the way you lie" and "the monster"

[@ginahoffsteder2181]

Always knew he was gonna blow up ....he’s just getting better it seems 💯

[@trugrowth9556]

He actually has a restaurant now called “moms spaghetti”

[@victoriasmith738]

8 mile is a great movie loess yourself is an awesome song

[@sarafrolander2266]

I was bullied in school and I used to listed to this song on the school bus to pump myself up just to find the curage to walk to my locker. It's a masterpiece.

[@larryshair]

So sorry you were bullied. That's so hard to have to deal with.

[@kamakazines4901]

This song definitely helped me get through some things. It is impressive that something can be so catchy, profound and messily relatable all at once lol

[@Feav.]

Just for some movie reference. That’s his (rabbit) sister not his daughter. Not meant to be a reflection of hailie. But it’s the common assumption with it being loosely based on his upbringing.

[@Wolf21973]

There's some behind the scenes stuff and stories from some of the actors that is worth checking out. For example, Anthony Mackie (PapaDoc) didn't know what Em was going to say in the final battle. Em even mixed some of Anthony's actual life into it which he didn't mind. In the climax during those three battles you can also see the camera cut to his best friend Proof standing in the crowd laughing. I remember when my best friends father took us to see this lol. We were only in middle school but we didn't care. We were huge fans. It was crazy just how big Em was from 99 to 05. He still is, but his peak during those times was incredible to witness. I'm glad I grew up during those times and have been a big fan of his for over 20 years now.

[@diegobarreto3010]

MAN now that I hear the songs verse by verse, they are and FEEL so INTENSE, I got the chills too, Eminem is among the all time greatest artist, his music packed so much (older stuff tho).
