Em is the #9 selling artist of ALL TIME.. Not just Hip Hop.. Dude is up there with The Beatles and Rolling Stones and shit

[@samhartman5676]

And has 2 albums in top 3 worldwide sales.

[@AdamsOlympia]

Went from average scrub to world's biggest superstar, literally overnight. Everybody in the world wants a piece of him...his own family tried to get one over on him. Everyone has ulterior or self-serving motives. Being on top can be a lonely f-ing place. I wouldn't want it, knowing all the caveats.

I laughed out loud when Benzino criticized Em for not being in the hood like Em can just walk down the street without being instantly mobbed and surrounded. No savings having ass Benzino can confidently walk through any neighborhood because if someone robs him they'll just be practicing.

DO NOT put Eminem in the same sentence with that freaky pedo.

[@spb1138]

In the benzine diss, he said something like, “why weren’t you at nips funeral.” I thought that was so stupid when I heard it. If Eminem was there, all the headlines would have been about Eminem being there. People would have swarmed it just to see him. He would have taken away from the situation by being there. To give the best support, let it be about nipsey. For Eminem, that means not showing up. It sucks, but it’s what it is when your star power is that massive.

[@MariaMartinStudio]

I thought the same damn thing. He knew that it would actually be disrespectful to go and disrupt everything.

[@Aeglos15]

It's impossible for Benzino to see things from Em's perspective but you couldn't have said anything that deserves more props than this comment. Sometimes the best thing you can do for someone is literally not be there because that will cause trouble and in the case of someone of Em's level, it was for the best.

[@DangerousDevilOfficial]

I see the idea you have on this. But at the end of the day, nobody knows why he wasn’t there, except him. Clearly he is private like that in all aspects of his life.

[@johnpowers8496]

Why would you go to someones funeral when you dont even know them?

[@Libercugetator]

Idk what might have been the reason in the funeral case but Eminem did the same for his daughter by watching her crowned from a back room or something.

[@emramirez7846]

This is why Marshall stays in Detroit because his "fame" doesn't affect how people treat him there. I read he can actually venture out comfortably in the D without the same level of media/crowds that he would if he were anywhere else. When the Superbowl was here in Cali, and everyone who appeared with Dre in it appeared for the pre-interviews that weekend, Dre said that Em wasn't in attendance because "ALL of L.A> would've needed to shutdown and the level of security would have been crazy." Even when Em was doing videos on IG from his hotel room, his manager Paul had him record in front of a white wall so that nothing would be accessible for people to try and gage where he was staying at, HE IS STILL RELEVANT and trolls like Benzino can talk all the shit they want, THAT part IS crystal clear and will likely never change. He's smart not to allow too many people in his circle. I keep my circle small, other than a few close "pals", it is only my family I let in. You literally can't trust anybody in this life. (Sometimes, those people ARE related too). Big UPS to the G.O.A.T. #StanForLife

[@theoutsiderjess4869]

He could probably walk around in New york becase people here are two busy to truly process Emimem is here

Eminem has always remained in his bubble I mean back in the early 2000s he was touring and going everywhere, and reason he keeps a low profile is not only because of his fame but the world now today is pretty intense than it ever was as things be happening everywhere. We all know he stays on dial with Dre, 50, Royce and his kids plus another person he’s really close with is Elton John as they had a good friendship throughout the years many don’t talk about.

Or just didn’t keep them as you got older? I understand that part, I’m 40 and obviously don’t have time for “friends” to the same degree when I was younger. But, I still have at least 6-7 people that I consider good friends that I could count on for almost anything. They are the only people I let into my home.

Eminem WAS a big star. He’s not a big star anymore. He’s an ICON. A living legend. That’s much different than just being a big star. Michael Jackson, Taylor Swift, Prince, Lady Diana, Eminem, Beyoncé, these people had and have the level of iconic status that say, like, The Beatles had. They would just get mobbed if they just went out like a regular person. And as far as making new friends goes, pretty much any 50 year old (yes Eminem is 50 😂) has their friend set fixed and settled; most aren’t looking for new friends. The people they want in their lives are already there. 🤷🏼‍♀️ I’m not even 50 and that’s how I am lol. I have my friends from childhood, people I met on my come up, my family and wife, and that’s it. I’m not looking for new friends. The ones I already have are the people I know I can trust. It’s like I always say: more acquaintances, more problems. 😂

You guys have no idea of the magnitude/magnetism of a star like Eminem. I had an experience working in a restaurant in Italy when Johnny Depp was at his peak with Pirates. He obviously closed the restaurant, but somehow the word got out. I swear to GOD, I blinked and a bunch of people were literally pushing against the glass to try to see him. 5 min later we had to call the police, the fire department and hell knows who else just to keep people SAFE! They will literally stomp themselves to get close to a star too. It's insane. Eminem can't just go out to buy a pack of cigarettes. He needs a disguise. They also have to deal with autograph hunters. People who go after celebs to get their signature so they can sell on Ebay. Everyone wants a little piece of you. It's crazy. You've gotta protect your sanity somehow.

One of the times I tried getting clean and sober was around 2012/2013 (I been clean since 2017 now) I ended up at a 3/4 house at Gratiot and 8 mile in Eastpointe. One of my roommates had this secret that he couldn’t let anyone know, well we found out, Eminem was his recovery sponsor. We had a limo showing up once or twice a week in front of our house to Pick up the kid he was helping. I guess dudes dad went to school with Em and reached out. One day he got out of the limo really, really quick and came inside the house to sign autographs. Then one time his sponsee was in the phone with him and we were all gathered around like idiots trying to listen and I guess Em could hear us all and he laughed and told my roommate, if they got anything they want to ask or tell me, do it now, so we each got to say something or ask something while he was on speaker, I was last person to go, my brain went sideways and I asked “do you really have an elevator in your house?” And he laughed hard as hell and said “yes, hard work pays off, but nothing felt better than kicking these drugs” and that has stuck with me since then. Miss all them guys. We didn’t even believe him until that limo showed up. And it was Em had gained a little of weight so when he got out to sign stuff for us, we barely recognized him, he was over 200 pounds. But he looked like a ball of energy.

I guess he thought it would be Ez Mil by getting that Dre co-sign, but the closest he’s come is 50 Cent. They seem more like brothers than what this is, so I’m not sure that is what it’s supposed to be… If Jay has Nas and Dre has Kendrick as his number 2 after Eminem, then Em has at least one more in him and outside of Hopsin the other rapper that reminds me the most of him is Joyner Lucas.

I have never met a single individual that doesn’t like at LEAST one Eminem song, and cant quote at LEAST one of his bars. I’m talking all age spectrum. Old to young. Not one person. My grandmother at 83 could even quote the Hi My Name Is as a joke in casual conversation, and she was not a rap fan. Drake? Didn’t know a single one of his songs. Eminem’s music translates and transcends all barriers. Because his music is about his actual life and people relate to him. But he’s also funny, entertaining, innovative, and incredibly deep. Kdot gets close, but even he will never be Em. And like or not, Em will always be the GOAT.

Having boundaries is a skill you build over time especially if your a genuine human being who wants to interact in a positive manor, and get close with people. Everyone is your enemy, and that's how you should move first before anything. Just be cool, and ease off. Know when to draw the line, and learn to say no.

[@mr_j2theo]

Yea you don’t play with the 🐐 unless you ready

[@tomazroses6022]

That is why Em hates fame so much..

[@gtt2728]

Joyner learned about Boundaries. Everyone should follow suit.

[@kochise1119]

He is still big his songs and albums are getting over a billions of streams still to this day. I see it every now and again another album or song goin 1 billion or 2 billion times streamed etc

[@pooch83]

It's not just "he's on that level/he's on a certain level/he's reached a certain level/etc". He's also extremely recognizable, both physically and verbally. The min he opens his mouth, no matter what tone of voice it is or what emotion is speaking. We already know it's him. Doesn't matter what he wears, whether or not he has a beard, or what color he dyes his hair. You automatically can spot him out of a crowd. All of those elements. Are powerless on there own, but greatly amplify each other all equally

[@northwestkidmarc]

Em is a legend regardless hes just different and he been killing it for years 🔥🔥🔥💯

[@jkutv]

"was". Nah he will always be a huge star. He's like a madonna or a one of those world wide artists that years could go by but everyone knows eminem.

[@michaelwalker8870]

You often lose your own soul when you gain the world(everything you could ever want). That's why i respected Prince he lived a humbled lifestyle, he pivoted towards a higher purpose later on in life and dedicated it towards trying to preserve the legacy and integrity of his people. He tried but he was only one man with a vision and could only prevent so much from happening after his demise

[@ctrodriguez111ent]

Stan by eminem starts playing in the background after the video ends 💯

[@seinfeldfan442]

I thought eminem and Joyner were good friends until i saw this. Of course they would still speak to each other on a need to know level. I agree with how eminem has to live because of his fame, i understand why he doesnt want any new friends. It would be hard when you have that trauma

[@Guyver_Master]

If you grow up in Michigan. You surround yourself with people you know and grow up with. People who know you b4 you make it.

[@ER-uy7ct]

It seems that Eminem treasures real friendships over fake ones, which is probably why he and 50 are as close as they are, because 50 never did him dirty ever.

[@DangerousDevilOfficial]

I fully understand why he is private like that. Regardless of the level each person is at, if you have been through multiple levels of BS, you just hit a point as an artist or just regular person, you have had enough of the BS. So you pull that circle around you, real small. And only ride with a select few. The older I get, the more I do the same thing. I don’t need to have a bunch of people around me, who have superficial love for you. And nefarious intentions.

[@omargraham8591]

5:13 that grocery store thing is crazy 🤯

[@horacioorellana9519]

Facts!!!!

[@labinotvisoka7503]

That golden eagle energy drink is absolutely amazing made in my lovely country Kosova

[@VinceeWilliamsMagic]

I mean does anyone remember what Kyle Spratt did? A Canadian Rapper, jacked Debbie Mather's phone at a bingo night (he worked there) and took Marshall's number and proceeded to call him all to have Marshall, review his music.

[@crytexjordan]

One thing I wanna mention that I’ve seen no one talk about on this topic, is that Em actually talks about this in “The Way I Am” Go back and listen to the song, actually one of my favorites and he goes off on how ppl wouldn’t leave him alone in public

[@matthessa.k.aslummy7189]

Check out Eminems cameo in the movie Funny People the conversation he has with Adam Sandler really hit home and about 23 note books of lyrics sit in a box with out a voice

[@user-cp3kp5fs2k]

Protect yourselves at all times

[@jitao]

Bro, when u get money like that, everyone will do you dirty. If u do fall, everyone else will turn they back on u. U’ll get it.

[@tracygaertner6718]

Eminem is the best. Top level. He needs to keep distance from people harassing him

[@AnteGV1950]

Eminem is like Michael Jordan...he can't go anywhere

[@timheavyable]

It would be a nightmare being famous in America as people expect celebs to do something fascinating all the time. In my country very famous people are left alone and the public here would be embarrassed to blindly walk after someone shouting at them. A lot of celebs have get away places in the Irish countryside purely for that reason. Celebrity culture American style is a whole other level of cringe inducing weirdness.

[@stgeorge4559]

Eminem is like the GTA games, He that culturally significant

[@agomez0435]

Em was and still is the biggest Hip-hop artist by far

[@tracystephens5014]

When every rapper brings up EM just to be relevant or try to put some fuel in their little 🚀 then you catch a glimpse of how polarizing EM still is. Charlemagne knows damn well EM is MJ level (Michael Jordan/Michael Jackson) famous..past/present/future superstardom god/goat status.

[@igot5onit423]

There's no rapper on the planet more famous than eminem. Even people that don't listen to rap. Music knows who he is when you start to get in that territory you know you're goated

[@DarthVix501]

this reminds of i think it was vince staples…i think) but he said he dont let no one into his house like he will meet up at separate location or send one of his boys..probably for safety reasons i think but yea

[@ZeFlicks]

When Eminem had the interview a few years ago from the host of his radio talk show, he said he had adhd through this whole life, you could tell by him making weird movements throughout the whole interview, he’s good with his family and small circle

[@julianbud7334]

True we don't ever see Eminem go out but we did see eminem at the NFL playoffs him and Taylor Swift lol.

[@youtubeconsument]

what glasses is joyner lucas wearing? thank you

[@mikelreborn3254]

Marshall got smart and understands that people suck

[@BonnieHaynes-gg4nk]

Said exactly what i would....he still is

[@xoshelbz]

It’s actually because he’s Autistic, which he’s been open about in his music if you actually pay attention. We have veryyy small friend circles, the top symptom is issues with social communication and interaction, we don’t like being in public, and the majority of us have C-PTSD from traumatic lives. The whole song “Legacy” is dedicated to being Autistic, each line is describing his different ASD traits and shows him accepting the diagnosis by the end of the song.

[@VD-ky2ft]

Been an dminem fan sincd day one. Got MMLP at age 5 loved him ever since. He got me thru terrible child hood and also this. What you just said. I always related to him and i never put my finger on why. He is highly highly functioning, people with autism have very specific topics they love and become obsessed with, this is how rap is to him. He knows everything about the culture and rapping itself. Thank you for adding this observation i never ever ever realized that song was about that. Thanks

[@xoshelbz]

@@VD-ky2ft Exactly! I’m really hoping the new album he comes out with this year talks more about it. I’ve been able to notice listening back to older songs all the times that he was going through Autistic burnout (like Déjà Vu and Beautiful) and wonder if he’s started to understand his diagnosis more and see that too. I’ve thought about doing a video series breaking down every song he either makes a metaphor about being neurodivergent (like riding the short bus, K-mart, “something’s off when Dustin Hoffman’s dressing up in your mummy costume”, Asperger’s, etc) or is describing an Autistic experience or trait!

[@franknoneofya9585]

He has Aspergers, which is why he did a lot of drugs early in his career. It's the only stuff that took the anxiety off social settings for him. People need to realize that Dr Dre and 50, have had to protect him, he most likely didn't have an understanding with all that happened with Suge Knight. It's also why he's capable of not laughing in settings that normal humans find hilarious. It really is a miracle that we have been able to see his genius, most people with Aspergers are high functioning people that don't like to be seen. It's also why he's become recluse, why he's changed drastically after sobriety. Go watch the movie "The Accountant" watch Seth Lee as young Chris, so you can see what Eminem had to overcome and the skills that allowed him to become who he is.

[@VD-ky2ft]

Aspergers is no longer a diagnosis. Its now entirely a spectrum. -source trust me bro im in grad school for psych lol

[@VD-ky2ft]

Also i couldnt agree more. His camp has done incredible protecting him. Dre & Fif are perfect for him, they are his hip hop body guards. Same w paul rosenberg & now royce

[@OrangeFerriswheel]

i love Joyner's defense to that whack ass question or "Statement"

[@Respect_The_Hustle226]

I get it man privacy is 🔑

[@sirbonobo3907]

Marshal Mathers Eminem is timeless. Like rolling Stones, Beatles, Michael Jackson Aretha Franklin, Bach Beethoven, Mozart

[@design1of470]

It's hard for MOST people to get Eminem on the phone.

[@MOG0311]

As you get older, generally the things that excited you at one point like being young, stupid and crazy, never mind with someone like Eminem's wealth doesn't excite you at one point anymore. He matured and grew up, I have no doubt he partied his ass off enough for 5 lifetimes. As he's getting older he want's to probably slow the pace down now. And someone from where Eminem grew up, they don't like having fake people or yes men around. Em is from the hood, he will keep his circle small.

[@Gatorlover7]

Eminem on Xzibit’s song “Don’t Approach me” (this was in the year 2000 btw) “And it's a disgrace Hailie can't play with her toys In the front yard without you drivin' by honkin' your horn Screamin' some shit, leanin' out your windows, beepin' and shit Or pullin' up in my drive like I won't leap in your whip And so these kids tell their friends and relatives where I live So my address ends up on the Internet again So then, I do an interview with Spin, tellin' them That if someone comes to my crib, I'ma shove a gun in their ribs And reporters blow it out of proportion Oh, now he's pullin' guns on his fans, just for tryna stand on his porch And I'm the bad guy, ‘cause I don't answer my door, like, "Hey! Hi! You guys wants some autographs? Okay, form a straight line!" Sometimes I feel like loadin' this rifle And climbin' the roof at night and hidin' outside to snipe you It's not that I don't like you It's just that when I'm not behind the mic, I'm a person who's just like you”

[@tracygaertner6718]

Eminem deserves to be able to have his privacy . I’m the same . I don’t care to make new friends, I’m to myself. Eminem has to. People would be harassing him. He deserves his space !

[@Nova_Lapis132]

Ppl been Saying this what you mean.

[@chance3052]

That’s crazy and sad at the same time.. not to be able to do every day normal things like you said grocery shopping.. all the money in the world yet no freedom.. they’re trapped..
