Eminem Stays Loyal! | Dr Dre- I Need A Doctor ft Eminem & Skylar Grey (Reaction)

This is one of the realest songs I’ve ever heard. I like how Em didn’t hold back on Dre and their relationship. They always put themselves out there to help us relate and to be completely open. This was my first time seeing the video and damn Dre was swole af!

Dre said in an interview that Em wrote the whole song and just gave it to him. Dre was going through a really dark period after losing both his son and Easy... Em was trying to pull him out of the dark

[@ghost1012]

Its public information that eminem has written massive amounts of verses for dre

[@pattaccone]

Yeah you can tell by the way the verses are written. Didn’t seem like Dre vibe 😂

[@69nites]

​​@@pattacconethe watcher is the dre vibe and em wrote it 😂. Dre doesn't have a vibe, he openly doesn't write his raps. He has the voice and the production but not the pen. What he means by the whole song is em did everything, dre just had to lay the verse.

[@alexia4251]

That's why he said "I don't know if I was awake or asleep when I wrote this"

[@lovelyamethyst]

The “You’re either gonna wanna fight me or hug me” line is so underrated. Eminem is basically saying that he’s about to say whatever he has to say to light a fire under Dre to get him back in the game. And that it’s either gonna seriously piss him off or he’s going to appreciate the intent behind it. Cause that’s how much he believes in Dre.

[@nataliaxo6239]

It's Marshall's love letter to his best friend and it's beautiful and perfect.

[@Berto2K]

I remember when Dre made his first appearance after coming out of this massive depression he went through. It was on a music awards show. He walked out solo on stage, swole af, and got a standing ovation. I couldn't believe my eyes.

This has to be one of the top three or five vocal performances of Eminem. The passion and desperation and anger in his voice is just incredible. Gives me chills every time.

No other rapper can give you chills like this fucking man can. Genius.

[@richardsandoval672]

Probably the realist and best friendship that ever walked this earth. Prove me wrong....

[@curtayars7344]

If you feel like this listening to what Eminem said to Dre could you imagine how Dre felt when he first heard these verses

[@scottishemmaa2457]

I always think about this when I hear this track! I always wonder if Em was nervous to play this for him at first because of the subject matter! I love it!

[@curtayars7344]

@@scottishemmaa2457 it's an absolutely beautiful gesture from a student/co-worker/friend/brother at what had to be the worst moment of Dre's life!!! How or why people have so much hate for Eminem is mind blowing to me!!

[@scottishemmaa2457]

@@curtayars7344 💯 Curt! I say this all the time! I get why people might prefer a certain style of Em’s music, or not enjoy his music as it’s all about personal preference. But how they can give him a hard time as a person or say he is homophobic, racist, violent, stealing from ‘black’ culture etc truly baffles me! You only have to look at his personal life to see the fierce loyalty he has for close friends and family. You never see any scandal, horrible rumours, fights etc and I think he is literally ‘ride or die’ for his loved ones. The way he’s brought up his 3 girls and Nate too, is testament to the man he is. If you’ve not checked out Paul Rosenberg’s podcast for Curtail Call 2 it’s well worth listening! I’m not a huge fan of Paul but it was really interesting to hear from some of his closest friends about his music making process and what he’s like behind the scenes. I think, because he’s so private, when something like this comes out, it’s always super insightful. There are episodes with Skyler Gray, Royce, Denaun/Mr Porter and a couple of others, as well as 2 episodes with Em himself. I really enjoyed it!

[@curtayars7344]

@@scottishemmaa2457 I watched a reaction to that Podcast by Stevie Knight and it's a great interview.. I find it amazing how people can't see the genuine loyalty of that man when you have people like Dre Royce, 50 Cent, King Crooked, etc speak to how much this man has done for them and never asked for anything in return!! Then there's the Tech 9's out here saying that he did the "Speedom" verse for free and many others who he's made and produced beats for without asking for a penny, but don't forget "Eminem's just a selfish culture vulture"!! People need to stop the hate and complete ignorance they keep vomiting!!! I'm not even a big rap fan and haven't been in a very long time but you don't have to be a big fan of something or someone to appreciate it!! I've been a metal head for decades now but I still enjoy my old school rap!!

[@scottishemmaa2457]

@@curtayars7344 ah, thanks Curt - I didn’t know Stevie had reacted to that! I’ll check it out, I always enjoy his commentary lol! Yeah, I heard Tech saying that about Em too, the most he’ll ask for is for the artist to hop on a verse on one of his own projects at some point! He’s obviously super loyal, he’s even doing it just now with Skyler, she’s dropping something (maybe this week? Can’t remember!) and is newly independent after selling all her masters and leaving her label etc to pay for her divorce I think. So she’s trying to do it all herself just now and Em is helping her out, sharing links, photos etc on his socials. I’m an ‘old head’ too btw! Ha ha! SSLP came out when I was at university, I still listen to hiphop more than any other genre, but it tends to be older artists and UK artists. I’m from the UK so I might be a bit biased, but I think we’ve been killing it with lyrical rap in recent years - guys like Akala and Ghetts (my 2 personal favs), Mic Righteous, Lowkey, Wretch etc. Even the younger generation like Dave, Fredo, Meekz etc.

[@bahamutskingdom]

Powerful. Damn powerful song man. Had never heard this before....Eminem's love for Dre is so clear in his voice. An absolute amazing reaction man.

[@rossim2i2]

Everyone should Google the interview Skylar did where she spoke about the recording of this song. This was off the top of his head after hearing the best and the hook. Not a dry eye in the studio.

[@khalilahdurand429]

Yea she said he wrote it in like 10 mins.. em is something else man! Just phenomenal

[@michaelbraum77]

LOVE the LOVE Em and Dre share in this record! This still makes me tear up and I've I've listened to it a couple hundred times and still gets me choked up. That's the power Em and Dre have with their lyrics! GOATs.

[@Shadydan05]

I think the car accident was a metaphor for his career .. that explains why he had flash backs and the point of the song “you’re supposed to be my mentor”

[@sersastark]

It was a metaphor for his life falling apart after the death of his son

[@Sushi4900]

Supposably when Skylar Grey came to Em and Dre with the Chorus, Lady Gaga should have sung the chorus, but Em insisted that Skylar does it. Also she told once that Em just went to a room after hearing the chorus for two hours and when he came out with the finished lyrics she started crying hearing these lyrics.

[@CSpad]

My bad, I just posted story bout Em fighting for Skylar as a payback for given Rihanna Love the Way you lie, b4 reading posts

[@jnbg61584]

I LOVE this song, so much meaning. you can hear everything in Em's voice. the video gives it more meaning too

[@miaclaudio5428]

Eminem said in an interview that this song is really real like he really meant every word and it was to tell everyone how nobody wanted to sign Eminem at that label Dr Dre really put his life on the line sign in Eminem and you know something look it paid off 80 million records sold by Eminem alone 100 million records sold with Dr Dre come on he gambled and won. And I'm so glad and in this song he said this song is really the truth nobody wanted Dr Dre to sign Eminem and I'm talking about the other rappers everyone around Dr Dre was saying no that's why the song is very important too even for today this song is very important to hear.

I think the live performance of this is what pissed snoop off. When Dre was talking about fair weather friends and all he see is slim.

[@drittzz9245]

I rember thinking the same thing when i first saw that performance Snoop was there and everything 😅

[@CSpad]

Yep, and Dre was referring was to Snoop. That was when Snoop bounced to No Limit. Em still releases everything under Aftermath, even if Dre doesn't touch the project. That loyalty, respect & friendship that Em has showed to Dre, and vice versa with 50 showing to Em, is very rare in the music industry period. Let alone hip hop. Far too often you see child hood freinds & even family fall out over $$$, jealousy or envy. It's dope to see ish that transcends just the $$ & fame, when you pay homage to that 1 person that believed in you & gave you the platform to launch from.

[@robpatterson3325]

Great reaction video Cliff, love the emotion you show while you're listening to the track with us is always raw and real. This is the first track on my playlist. You mentioned the GShock promo...he released a limited edition GShock watch around the time of this track. Black with red accents, backwards E, has the Detroit skyline on the band, Slim Shady signed on the back of the watch. It's dope.

[@lynette.]

Listen to the passion in Eminems voice just another reason he is top tier.

Love how everyone says when Eminem is on the track its always fire, and then Dre absolutely kills it the same. Dre will always be such an inspiration to the music industry and will always be a legend. Eminem..... well I think we all know he'll be remembered just the same

You hear the passion Em has for Dre in this song xx this has always been on my playlist xx 🐢♥️🐢 xx

[@nate6382]

I love this song And it's so raw Because Dre almost lost 2 kid's within of 7 months Em has said looks up to dre as father figure and we know Em had he's overdose in December of 2007 but recovered but in August 2008 Dre's actual kid died of a heroin overdose

[@RanRayu]

thats the thing with eminem, he repays respect with respect, and loyalty with loyalty. he will go through hell and back for those loyal to him. wich shows that if he goes after someone he has good reasons to, cause he wouldnt just diss someone for the fun of it. if he disses you, you did something to make him mad and its best to go apologize. eminem isnt a nice guy, he is a real guy and what you see is what you get with him. and that is something worth striving for. ive been a nice guy for many years and got fucked over all the time. now i aint nice anymore, i say what i think and im brutally honest. fake people are tiresome and not worth your time, cause you dont know if you can depend on them if you need them.

[@lucho3410]

I remember first hearing this song when it released and it was so damn dope and powerful! I'm glad others are discovering it *Also, Em pushed to have Skyler and nobody else for the chorus. They wanted another big name but Em refused

[@jasonstewart6613]

I lover skylar greys voice! She’s amazing

His son was so young when he accidentally OD'd....😭 It hit Dre hard.. would for any parent! Did you see Skylar Grey? She was one of the white coats...the chick with the glasses. 😁 From what..I think we have all observed over the years.. Eminem is a Great friend to have! Loyal af! He would lay down his life for a friend....just like when he stood with 50 when Suge showed up with his goons!

[@LifeOfMeh87]

This song came out a few days before i went into rehab again (for the final time). The combination of the theme and where I was in life, this song really helped me through another stint in rehab and finally making it stick

Great review. Nailed it. In my mind, the best thing that you can do is not get into shit in the first place. That means no one can throw it back at you because it doesn't exist. However, we're human, we all make mistakes, so do the next best thing: Put it out there ourselves, being completely transparent with who we are.

[@Brigada91RealBriggy]

I love this song. I don't know how much of what I read is true, but according to other comments in other videos as ll as little research suggets that Dre lost a child and was in some really dark place and Em really tried to pull him out. He's looking up to him and it is clear as day why. Great song. It always hits right in the feels. Also, yea, nobody wanted to sign a white boy. Even Dre himself thought first, Em was black, when he heard his tape. It's crazy how everybody jumped off that ship when Dre kept believing in Em and it shows, Dre made the right choice. Em will forever be thankful for that. In how many songs did we hear him mentioning or thanking Dre? soooo often. Even if it's just one line. Such a great song, really. And that isn't just cause of the amazing story telling Em is doing, but the bars he put up here again. I also read that Dre planned to bring out one more album and this song was on it but it got cancelled. Now I am not sure how much of that is true, but I read that it's cause Dre beleived, the ablum wouldn't have sold well enough and he makes good money with the Beats by Dre headphones. Anyways, I'm still a little upset that we won't get that last album. Damn it
