[Industry Ghostwriter] Reacts to: Eminem- Deja Vu - It’s crazy to think we almost lost Eminem. Damn

[@absent72]

I see some people in the comments saying this isn't really his best track, implying it's not that good. Idk what you guys are hearing, this song is incredible to me. Strong rapping, great production, even the hook was great imo as well, and mix that with good storytelling and this is a phenomenal track

[@MrAchsas]

yup i love it aswell

[@eazy2hate]

You do realize everyone's different right? Some people can relate to this song (like me) and others can't and alot of times those people won't really enjoy this song like someone like me whose struggled with addiction or still is. Either way there is nothing wrong with someone saying this isn't his best track I love this song It's helped me alot with that said I don't think it's his best track but that doesn't mean i think it's a bad song just because I don't think it's his best track but it's an amazing song I mean if you look at ems whole catalog how can you not understand how others may like another song more even if you just look at his more meaningful songs they might relate more to one of those then this one!!

[@loveinlatin]

its top 10 Em for sure

[@jonahxsmitty]

One of my favorites lol

[@scottd817]

This is a classic song I like stay wide awake and hello are my favorite from relapse wich is a masterpiece

[@CSTrixieChick]

Em does such a good job of explaining how an addiction creeps up on you and your life and your family and the excuses you make. Great job on your sobriety, you are so awesome.

[@ceriblythin2963]

Just found this, i came round on life support in the ICS, a nurse feeding me, tubes everywhere. All i remember is i flatlined, and i remember the nurse saying it as she realised i was allergic to what she gave me. Then nothing for i dont know how long. 4 years ago, im still disabled, was before, always an Eminem fan and i just turned 50! Thnk i caught him as i was getting divorced in early 2000's and hes always got me through. Thanks Cliff Beats for helping me too during another hard time. Wish i could give you a hug from UK, here for you too hun!!

[@cooperholand]

That part where he goes "i never had no problem with alcohol" I always felt like he was describing how alcohol wasn't his main demon but he also shows how the alcohol was a gateway to the pills. He would get drunk and wake up with a headache so that gave him an excuse to use the pills aswell.

[@ds7214]

Think he also says it ironically as the line after that is "ouch look out for the wall aim for the couch im bout to fall" as though the alcohol is making him fall over the place. He says it like someone who is addicted to alcohol might deny it when its clear its a problem

[@chaselostones]

This one gets me. Glad his kids found him. Yet those poor kids. As a father with kids and an addictive personality. This one can help some people. Hope it does.

for people that dont know what addiction is like....this is like a peak into the mind of an addict...into the mind of a depressed state. i could never put it into words like em did. i spent YEARS trying to show my family what it is like. ....i guess somethings you just have to experience in order to understand someone elses struggle.

[@coulterkj]

The closest anyone can describe being an addict. It can start with something as simple as NyQuil. This story is so true and relatable many of us. Exactly what being an addict is like.

[@troyperry411]

Yea I also dabbled with opiate addiction for about 5 years and everything he’s saying hits so hard when you actually know first hand. Another great Eminem song about his drug addiction is never love again off of mtbmb. One of the best if not the best songs about drugs I ever heard. Every line in that song and this song is straight facts. He’s the best story teller ever like you said man. To anyone in here battling addiction just don’t give up. You can do it just keep trying no matter how many times you fail🙏🏼

[@loveinlatin]

2:04 this to me is one of Em's most genius schemes. He "gradually graduates" his drug use until its a full blown addiction leading him to health and family problems.

[@lynette.]

He wasn't only born with addictive personality his mother fed him pills. So many battles.

[@notforone]

That's so fucked up. She herself had pill problems too.

[@Sunny-jz3dy]

It just had a different sound and I guess a lot of people had a similar issue with it. In his song "Beautiful" he mentions he might have to find a new outlet and give up rap. That was around the time you mentioned Cliff. Eminem is in a class all by himself!!! BTW! Word is spreading about this channel!!! 😁 Have seen numerous posts on other channels plugging this one! Also the react you did on Knox's new track has been going around! Glad to see your numbers rising and word is spreading!!! You've earned it!! 🥳🥳🥳

[@omfg666able]

Your great man thank you for the reactions, I haven't drank any alcohol for 3 months. I was drinking everyday every morning I would wake up for work at 5 and think about a beer, as I got up to use the restroom I would drink a beer and and drank one more on the way to work everyday and drank two at lunch and drank on the way home and got one more 12 pack for the night and for the morning sometime I would get an extra 6 pack with the 12. I was at 255 pounds the day I quit drinking and I'm 230 now haven't changed much just not beer, I still have cravings everyday, I know Im going to drink again but I'm gonna have control not it.

[@SAVAGEMATT47]

I have this thought I'm my head that i haven't commented on this song yet, and it's that this song can apply to anything that you are addicted to, not just drugs. And it can also represent feeling like every day is the exact same thing over and over again. But yea, crazy fucking song. 30/10

[@jr4653]

this song hits different to others for me, anyone who has ups and downs that also uses any form of narcotics will relate to em saying that he tries to stop but nope that's just a lie. what also hits hard in this song is the organ in the background which is usually associated with funerals and it feels like death is in the background at all times.

[@loveinlatin]

damn I never noticed the organ meaning. stay strong

[@jaaptendijk7192]

And how emotionless he sounds on the hook, plus it sounds hypnotic like the drugs talking to him (similar to drug ballad)

[@kingreyes5]

"Big up cliff beats you are awesome brother love your reaction...its good to hear you over came ya own issues.."

[@MonkeysNPalmTrees]

Ok, my brain just connected this all these years later. In AA they tell you "relapse is part of recovery". That's why he named his next 2 albums relapse and recovery. Kind of makes me wonder if there's a hidden connection between the 2 albums because that's the kind of Easter egg the evil genius would put in there.

[@iDeagles]

Probably the best album he ever put out. Hardships suck but you can't deny it makes the best music. It's amazing to see how hard he fell off only 4 years later.

[@loveinlatin]

wait what u think he fell off with MMLP2?

[@dartslyder4225]

@@loveinlatin compared to relapse ye ofc…

[@loveinlatin]

​@@dartslyder4225 imo nah. MMLP2 to me is still top tier Eminem. I mean it has a mix of introspective songs, bar heavy songs, and story telling songs. The worst part about MMLP2 is literally its singles like Monster and Berserk which imo suck compared to the rest of the album. imo Revival was when he had a massive drop in quality especially production wise, but I still enjoyed that album. He did fall off sales wise with Revival tho. all in all imo Em skill wise hasn't fallen off.

Wow, never heard this one it hits home in many ways. I myself have a list demons I'm fighting and the medication is addictive so I have to make sure I always have it and take it or my body goes haywire . And even though you know not to mix it with alcohol or even pot ... you do it when you are at your low and just don't care anymore. I have mixed my shit just so I can stop thinking . I have a big issue with pain meds when I have surgery or something I have to make self space it out and try to not take the whole amount or im hooked then when you run out and start coming down that's not fun at all.

Please React to Eminem “Going Through Changes” it’s a banger also Deja Vu is possibly the best song off Relapse very introspective and yeah Em was never a junkie he was a drug addict tho he explained it once look up his interview about his drug addiction or even his 106 & Park interview in 2009 Em The Goat Of Hip Hop frfr✍🏽🐐🔥🎯💯(Also this Beat is fucking nasty Dr Dre put his foot in these beats on the Relapse album Dre still till this day hasn’t made theses types of unique beats like this for any other artist but Em I hope we get these types of Beats from Dre on an Eminem album soon hope he fully produces the album as well cause when him and Em link up it’s greatness and masterpieces come out within the process,also it’s a method behind Em’s madness it shows how versatile he truly is as not only a Hip Hop Artist but also a Music Artist just in general and it shows how conceptually genius he is within this song and more within his discography)

Can understand how this makes you feel. Had 2 alcoholic grandparents so I have addictive personality too. At 30 I was prescribed Ultracet for a calcium deposit that formed where your hip meets spine bc dr misdiagnosed it as pinched nerve. 6 mos physical therapy did nothing. At the time doctors thought Ultracet was wonder drug & not addictive at all. I could’ve told them after a mo bc my body knew when I needed another pill. Started at 4-5 a day, when I was up to 7-8 a day dr still wasn’t concerned but I knew I was addicted so I weaned myself off them. You feel like you’re going to jump out of your skin and everything is off kilter. Had a friend offer me 1 a couple yrs later bc I had hurt myself and I literally started shaking & screamed “Get that shit away from me!”

If anyone is deep in an addiction, you CAN get out. I tried everything under the sun and used crystal everyday for 7 years. After my daughter was born I decided I had to stop.

I love this song...but the album is definitely one of his bottom 2. This song hits me like you...relating to my own battles. It hits so SO many things about being an addict that non-addicts don't understand. Like him "playing out the tape" on what would happen if he listened to the "devil in his ear"...from a half a beer to wine to Vicodin to help with the hangover to justifying it by saying "I'll just do this while the kids are at school" to his daughters finding him OD'd. It's incredible...and the hook. The getting home and something taking over...I remember only doing drugs at home alone so that my people wouldn't worry about it and wanting to stop but doing it over and over. Brilliant. Fucking legend.
