TES is still my favorite Eminem album of all time. MMLP and SSLP are close behind though. All of the other albums are interchangeable depending on my mood.

Always loved the video for this song because of how much it visually represents Em's mentality as well as his career. The visual representation of "The deeper into his mind" you go, the more you realize that Em has "the monster" locked deep inside of himself that is constantly making lines (bars) that he uses to bring to the surface (public) and hit new career highs.

[@mehmet6288]

You got all that from one video?🤔 Damn! You're good

[@omnic726]

Yeah that's my interpretation too

[@popz4470]

Was looking for this comment

[@jennhurl]

Eminem received a lot of backlash from the gay community for homophobic slurs on the Marshall Mathers album. Elton John, however, felt that Em was just saying the way things are - not how he himself 'felt' about gay people. Elton never thought Em was homophobic. He collabed with Em & even sang at an awards show with him (that's the clip you saw on this video). If anyone knows the struggle of alcoholism and drugs, it's Elton. That shit nearly killed him (and me). Elton has now been clean for like 30+ years. Em called him up and truly leaned on Elton when he was hitting rock bottom. Elton was there for him & gave him some hard truths and support. 🔥🔥🔥MY FAVORITE: When Elton married his long time partner, Em sent a wedding present. Elton said “In a case, on velvet cushions, were two diamond cock rings. 🤣 The rings have gone unused, but they're on elegant display in my home." Only Em, only Em 🤣 ELTON & EM considered am unlikely pair yet the respect runs deep.

[@johjackson651]

That was so awesome!

[@staceynicole8978]

Elton John was a major influence in helping Eminem get sober. Eminem was accused of being homophobic with some of his lyrics and he performed the song STAN with Elton John singing Dido’s part as a way to show that they are friends and that he is not homophobic and that the media was making up lies about him and trying to hurt his image.

[@Nathan-gi9mm]

Yep. They’re real friends. Em even bought Elton a gift. Iykyk

This song hit home for me when it came out. I was in high school and felt like crap, but having this song spinning on repeat just got me back up SO many times. I remember being somewhat disappointed with what Em had been doing since he came back, and then he decides to release one of the best songs of his entire career! Great achievement for Em and Rihanna

Something you probably don't know: the hook- "I'm friends with the Monster under my bed/get along with the voices inside of my head/you're trying to save me, stop holding your breath/and you think I'm crazy/ well that's nothin' (new)" was actually written by Bebe Rexha. It was her song, but because she wasn't signed and was struggling, she had to sell the song. Eminem bought it, and wrote his own lyrics around the hook; he kept Bebe's hook, but gave it to Rihanna, and had her lip sync that 'yodel' sound you hear after 'Nothing' (actually the word 'new' taken up several octaves); it's actually Bebe's voice. I think you can also hear her on the actual hook lyrics if you really listen. Years later, he actually performed with Bebe at Coachella; and it's perfection. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy Rihanna's version, but it's Bebe's song, and when you hear her sing it, it definitely shows. She's a phenomenal artist, and deserves so much recognition for her work.

A month after you release a video it would be great to do a video going thru the comments people leave. Lots of knowledge being dropped. Really enjoy this channel. Elton John (Rocket Man!) was key to Eminem's sobriety and served as his sponsor for years. (Not sure is that's still the case). Elton John has been sober for years and had quite a hard core party past.

*Video Breakdown* (it's DEEP) The small TV shows what each music video stands for (violence, abuse, ego, etc etc) so what we see after that is his mind taking a journey to those places on the Therapist's couch..... It shows major career milestones moments such as his first single/video "My Name is"... The 8 mile "Lose Yourself" video/era.... "The way I am" video.... And His "Stan" performance at the 01' Grammy awards w/ Elton John doing the hook and piano, which at the time was to calm down people due to his homophobic lyrics, etc) Then Finally: As he reaches the deepest area of his subconsciousness (bottom floor).... We see that his wild side "Slim Shady" is NOW caged up and guarded, BUT, it shows that even tho it's the cursed side of him that he had to move past... Slim Shady is throwing him lyrics and is still the source of his creativity.... Em just had to find a way to keep the Art but rid himself of his reckless ways.
