Never apologise for pausing and going back! That's exactly what you should do with his music especially when you're not used to the fast pace, because his lyrics are very good and each word is important to hear and understand what he's saying. You're doing a great job 👍

[@FreyaReacts]

Thank you so much for that! I feel so clueless when I sit down to do these reactions but, I am loving the journey so far. I can't wait to hear some of his other sides as well. It's been a little rough so far, not gonna lie. But amazing all the same!

[@derekleblanctv8045]

BIG FACTS

[@JoeLancaster]

"I'm glad i made it through without crying" and i realised she's still got Arose to do and i thought... oh no...

[@FreyaReacts]

Yeah... spoke too soon on that one (and others, lol!) Amazing songs though. It's been eye-opening for sure! Thank you! 💛

[@JoeLancaster]

@@FreyaReacts I must tell you Freya, your reacts are very engrossing because you genuinely feel the music and get the message and it seems like you are a very strong empath and you can't help but show a real reaction. Gotta say it's really fascinating to watch. Keep going pls. Xx

[@FreyaReacts]

@@JoeLancaster Thank you. I always feel so clueless doing these so, I do really appreciate when y'all show support and so glad that you're finding some good in what I'm doing here! Much appreciated!

[@CBgolfer1516]

He destroys anyone who mentions his daughter in a disrespectful way. So many examples. Nail in the coffin, hail mary, not alike, killshot, bully, and more.

[@YonkoJoe]

Infinite was the very first album he ever made. According to him, they only made about 1000 copies, and they sold them mostly out of his trunk. It’s not a bad album at all, it was just before he got recognized

[@FreyaReacts]

Oh, got it. Thank you for that! Much appreciated!

[@kungavsand6345]

@@FreyaReacts You should react to the song infinite in the infinite album. It's really good and shows that he was a really talented rapper even back then.

[@gunit421]

You are literally the best thanks for doing this

[@FreyaReacts]

You bet! And no, no, no...you. are. the. best!

[@marshalleashappie978]

This one hit me hard so emotionally, eminem knows how to tell the story, so well, I appreciate taking your time to get learn about goat rapper he is to hip hop I'm here for this journey.

[@FreyaReacts]

Thank you so much for hanging out with me a bit! Yeah, this was a tough one. In fact, they've all been tough so far but amazing and deep and just...everything! I have been so surprised - in the best possible way. Thank you, again!

[@punisherdave7297]

I'm really enjoying your reactions. Glad you've been introduced to this side of Eminem before diving into his other type of content so you can have a much better understanding when it comes to him. I highly recommend listening to Going Through Changes and Bad Husband.

[@FreyaReacts]

Thank you so much for taking a minute to comment and for hanging out with me a bit. Going Through Changes and Bad Husband -- officially on the list! Thank you! Please hang in there with me... its a long list but, I can't wait to hear these!

[@mrBobTek]

Sayin his daughter's name makes her a target for diss tracks from other rappers. That's how we got some of the best beef/diss tracks from that era. You may check "loose change" from Ja Rule, targeting her at the end. That is how a whole war between EM, 50 Cent, and Dr. Dre vs the best US hip-hop magazine at the time started(or at least got Eminem involved). Which in the end kinda of solidified him even more in hip-hop history You may react to some of the diss tracks or the whole documentary (some short version).

[@FreyaReacts]

Thank you. Yes, and I do have that awareness that this man is feared. I'd like to understand that as well. Yeah, I need some $hit talkin', some dissing....my heart needs some time off. Lol

[@nelsonserrano134]

When I'm Gone is from an earlier album, but this song references that same time period

[@SLIM_MARSHALL87]

Love your reactions. Don’t apologize for pausing bc we are all here to watch your sincere reaction.

[@thomasthornton884]

"Walk on water" would be a great one for ya

[@MohamadNadi]

Another phenomenal reaction mam. Keep up the hard work and enjoy yourself

[@FreyaReacts]

Thank you so much! Glad to see you back --thanks for hanging out with me for a bit!

[@MohamadNadi]

@@FreyaReacts no need to thank me it's my pleasure

[@Professor-hw2dd]

Yes, his "Infinite" CD was his first, and it only sold 1,000 copies. That was before he got signed. If released in 1996

[@joanapereira8011]

Loving your reactions to Em! Highly recommend you watch also Cleaning out my closet and then Headlights after. Keep in mind there's over a decade between them but both are about his mom and both are very good songs, you'll get a lot more insight into his past. Other suggestions: Beautiful, Sing for the moment, Lose Yourself (his biggest song), Till I Collapse, Space bound, I need a doctor, The Way I am, Haillies song, Like toy soldiers, Not afraid, Walk on water, Rap God, Bad Husband (if you want more context for that one do Kim before but be warned its a tough one to listen to).

[@FreyaReacts]

Thank you so much! Glad to hear I am doing something halfway ok here. "Cleaning Out My Closet" and "Headlights" are going up today. The others I officially have on the list---thank you so much for the suggestions! "Lose Yourself" -- I mean there was just no escaping that one, it was everywhere. So I can recognize the hook of that song but, excited to actually "truly hear" the lyrics and verses. Much appreciated!

[@erikahutchcraft1742]

As usual great reaction and great insight! You are really good at understanding deep lyrics.

[@FreyaReacts]

Thank you so much for that! I always feel so clueless when I sit down to do these songs so, glad to hear I am doing something right here. Much appreciated!

[@DaP84]

Yes, Eminem's actual debute album "Infinit" only sold under 50 copies. I think he sold every one of those copies in person. This was before he was discovered by Dr Dre and had his massive success. When he said he might have stumbled upon something new and had a prediction for the future is about when he invented his artist alterego Slim Shady. He knew he had something genius in this character

[@rquiles4881]

By the time of the 3rd letter hes best friend proof( doodie )die and he got in to deprecion and stared taking a lot of pills and overdose he almost die

[@FreyaReacts]

Thank you for sharing. That is awful. Is there anything this man hasn't been through...

[@G-Denz]

pruff?? lmao

[@robertcabrera4760]

After Eminems overdose he lost the ability to write and rap. He had to retrain his brain to put out more music. He has talked about it at length. You can tell the difference in writing before and after the overdose. Dudes been through a ton.

[@FreyaReacts]

Oh my goodness...I keep saying it but, is there anything this man hasn't been through... just wow.

[@lewisfender318]

New subscriber here. Keep Em coming!

[@FreyaReacts]

Thanks so much for subbing and you got it! "Arose" is next and wow...just wow.

[@xXDarknetMagicXx]

Here I am going through these reactions legit for the 2nd time because I’m a huge fan of how you do them and tend to think out loud naturally, it’s very authentic! With that being said (assuming you care to hear this info): *INFINITE ALBUM* - Was Em’s first official album released back in 1996. He only managed to sell roughly 1,000 copies and therefore was considered a “flop”. *EM RETIRING* - Em had released “Curtain Call” back in 2005 (this is the album “When I’m Gone” was on) but took a 4 year hiatus to deal with his addiction, and came back with the album “Relapse” in 2009 (notorious for his variety of accents used). The media (and his fans) had no idea what Em’s plans were after he disappeared in 2005, there was speculation of retirement, and information was eventually released saying he checked himself into rehab. This is the “I’ll put out this last album” reference he noted in the last (2007) letter - as Relapse was being actively recorded during that time. Luckily, he didn’t retire 🙏🏽 The song you’re reacting to in this video is from his “Revival” album (considered his most recent “flop” since “Infinite”, although still very successful) - “Revival” was released in 2017. In other words, this entire song (and Arose) are essentially a retrospect back to 1995-2007. Hope this is useful! 😊 Please keep doing what you’re doing!

[@FreyaReacts]

Wow, thank you so much! Sorry there's been a lag in recent uploads but I'm going to be ready to get going here very soon! Thanks so much for your support!!!

[@xXDarknetMagicXx]

@@FreyaReacts - No reason to apologize, we understand that life happens! Take care of what you need to take care of, and we’ll be eagerly awaiting the next upload 😊

[@shawnfoster4506]

So what you heard at the end was him taking pills and overdosing. He overdosed in 2007 (the date of the last letter) and nearly died.

[@ViV-rv39up]

For this one, they should told you that It's castle And Arose .

[@FreyaReacts]

Thanks so much. They did actually - I just posted them as separate videos. Thanks for checking out the channel and taking a moment to comment. Much appreciated!

[@robertcabrera4760]

Every rapper has used his daughters name to diss him and get attention, fame n clout. Its gotta be tough on him.

[@FreyaReacts]

Yeah, I believe that and have some idea of some of the times that has happened. I'd like to understand it more and look forward to getting into that part of his talent at some point. It's a shame though. It must be tough, like you said.

[@robertcabrera4760]

@@FreyaReacts I'm guessing that the phrase "a gift and a curse" is no more true than it is in Em. The price of wearing ones emotions on their sleeve is that people use it as weakness when it's an actual strength. Em to is one the very rare artists that let you all the way while they are alive. I don't have to read a biography on him, written by someone else after he passes away....he gave me it all. I value that.

[@lawdawgm2844]

you should react to in your head it by Eminem, very emotional

[@derekleblanctv8045]

PLEASE REACT TO EMINEM-DARKNESS 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@FreyaReacts]

Thank you. Darkness is definitely on the list. Please hang in there with me....this list got out of control fast! But, I can't wait to check this one out! Much appreciated!

[@charg1nmalaz0r51]

Yeah his infinite cd flopped, which is a shame because its actually really good. It gets more love these days.

[@christopherglass4694]

Kasey chambers cover of lose yourself

[@FreyaReacts]

Thank you. Got that on the list! Please hang in there with me. This list got out of hand real fast! But, I can't wait to check this out! Much appreciated!

[@rquiles4881]

Hope you listen to the 2 songs together one after the other so you can understand the story cuz they go together

[@FreyaReacts]

Yep -- Arose is uploading right now! Thanks so much for hanging out a bit!

[@Emilbarrit2]

Another very enjoyable reaction. if you ever wanna branch out from Eminem to another artist with some deeply profound storytelling tracks, check out Kendrick Lamar. He is more of an "album artist" though and his songs gain a lot more meaning if you listen in the context of the album. He is widely regarded as the best artist of his generation

[@FreyaReacts]

Thanks so much! I do want to check out other artist and really understand the genre greats. I just think I mentioned Eminem and got flooded with suggestions (which I did ask for so...) But, hey I'm not complaining. Kendrick Lamar -- got it! Much appreciated!

[@Emilbarrit2]

@@FreyaReacts if you do decide to check him out i would start from the Section.80 album then Good kid and To Pimp a Butterfly. If you just want to do one track of his then do How Much A Dollar Cost and skip his more popular tracks(until you hear the album) since those are more for the radio.

[@gunit421]

Arose is the continuation of this song

[@FreyaReacts]

Yep, thank you. "Arose" just went live! Hope you enjoy! Thanks for hangin' out a bit!

[@peterpeterpumkineater5182]

there is no official video for these

[@FreyaReacts]

Thank you for that...glad I didn't miss it! Much appreciated!

[@benjamies4136]

Two separate videos is always the worst. It's best to do them back to back. There's no official video.

[@shorty35916]

At the end, he was swallowing a handful of pills and then fell over.

[@FreyaReacts]

Oh, got it! Thank you for that. It sounded like he fell! Much appreciated!
