When this album dropped I was just starting my journey of becoming clean. Crack and Heroin addict. Got on it at age of 17 in 1998 got clean at 21 moved away stayed clean until 06 relapsed due to moving back to same area and got back in with wrong crowd. But very quickly realised this is not for me and tried to get myself right again but kept failing. So in 09 I put myself in rehab to get clean. Em dropped this album whilst I was in there and it helped me push through everyday this album is a massive part of my life and will always be number 1 for me as I’m now 44 and been clean since 2010. If I’m having a bad day and feel the demons pushing through I put headphones on and put on Relapse it’s literally my Therapy ❤ great reaction Guys keep them coming 🎉

[@srich55]

It's tough man I know....one day at a time! But you got this! It's great you kept picking yourself back up & recognized you needed help. Keep up the great work! ♥

[@AdamRogers3091]

10 years clean and was towards the end of my worst struggles with addiction when this came out, it had been a long, winding road to recovery, with lots of bumps along the way. I related to this song and the mindset so much back then… the chorus as well, hits hard. Plus Dre production 🔥

[@michaelbraum77]

Keep up the VERY HARD WORK man!

[@MattBirch1991]

The fact this actually happened and Em wrote this is amazing

[@nicholasicetrain1382]

I was using during this album. The weeks after I quit “not afraid” was dropped on the radio and I started to cry… Recovery 👍

[@j.coreyplestina234]

I definitely hear what you are saying, I kindly just wanted and a correction to your post, it was "NOT AFRAID" and yes that song hit me so hard as well! Glad to hear that you are clean and are a Relapse & Recovery fan as well! 💯❤️👍

[@nicholasicetrain1382]

@ ya I’ll edit that. 😂 thank you

[@michaelbraum77]

LOVE that song! Em also does his "last" accent halfway through! Most people don't catch it though.

[@LiamBrown-d6d]

Well done on your sobriety cliff! And u aswell marshall! Role models in a different way. Great reaction guys 😊

[@Rhinox-89]

The only downside is he didn’t show her Mr mathers in conjunction with this

[@koberamirez1784]

Damn I know, I was hoping for that skit before he played the song to show the full scope of this situation

[@aprilhippie8752]

Exactly what I commented 😅

[@MaCx567-v1g]

Fr, bro had one job🤣😂😭🤦‍♂️

[@aerobolt256]

he didn't do it for his reaction either. thankfully the medic repeats most of the pertinent information to dispatch in the intro

[@Rhinox-89]

I really feel there are a few tracks that need to be heard with their skits. this and soldier are chief among them

[@MrTata1000]

This song is so so good. It's crazy to even think about it. Goosebumps all over my arms.

[@GABA-Gool]

I got lucky getting out of addiction. I was actually 16 when I started drinking heavy and partying. Did that for 3 years straight. But one night I went to a party and drank...and drank...and drank...etc. Just downing vodka like it's water. All I remember to this day, was going to the bathroom to throw up and waking up to a paramedic slapping me in the face in the back of an ambulance. Apparently, I passed out in the bathroom and locked the door behind me. One of my "friends" kicked the door open to help me but ran away once he heard sirens. Some couple I didn't know and I were the only ones left in the apartment when the police and medics came in. I had a .42 blood alcohol level at the age of 19 and not knowing what the hell happened to me was scary enough for me to just never drink again. I'm now 32 and still haven't drank anything. The reason I say I'm lucky is because I was over alcohol by the time I could legally buy it and drink it. I know this has nothing to do with Eminem but just thought I'd share it. Love the channel btw. You guys have chemistry on camera.

[@michaelbraum77]

Keep up the VERY HARD WORK!

[@srich55]

Addiction plagues so many people! Congrats you got out of it.....keep going! I drank a lot in my teen years too....by the time I could legally..... I was over it too! lol

[@j.coreyplestina234]

13:52 You are correct, he had a 1hr drive each way to the set of 8mi and was working 16hr days, leaving 4hrs of sleep a night! Then almost right after finishing the movie, the Anger Management Tour started and was doing upto 3 shows a day and that's when things got worse!!

[@Liamhancock-i7h]

I love you bro, I was there cliff not long ago. The way you opened up then, and afterwards side eye your woman to see what she was thinking 😢, I get that feeling. It's so hard being a man a opening up..especially to your girl... well done man. 💯💯

[@michaelbraum77]

More men need to show their "weak" or sensitive side to their women. Or men.

[@Simouno]

These and Beautiful are the best songs out of Relapse, by far. The Eminem i love who can put punchlines and storytelling together like none ❤

[@philyerington1163]

This was the only song I ever got to use in rehab. They were always very against having music or movies that weren’t chosen by them. I did this song with one of my projects and the whole room was sobbing cause they all could relate in one way or another

[@emmettcatania3174]

i have an addictive personality and the chorus always gives me chills

[@michaelbraum77]

Getting better that is!

[@Randomdude21-e]

Probably why eminem treats hes job as a 9-5 job. Work life balance

[@Kno_Buddy]

He did a little weed and shrooms here and there up until 2001 when he was filming 8 Mile. At the time he was writing & recording for the soundtrack, mixing & mastering his own songs, and putting together other tracks for the soundtrack from other artists. He was also filming the movie and the music video for Lose Yourself as well as being a consultant to help write the script so he was only getting 30 minutes to two hours of sleep at a time in his trailer between takes. That is when he got addicted to the sleeping pills that almost killed him and caused him to get sober.

[@derekyager3432]

Thank you for explaining your situation with youtube. Sad to see the best platform get soft on us...smh.

[@michaelbraum77]

BEST WISHES to you! It's always difficult to give up one bad thing for another bad thing. Just take one day at a time and you'll get through it. I was on opioids for about 15 years and it was tough to get off them. But well worth it!

I have never been an addict, but this song still hits home to me because there is a girl who has shut me down multiple times, but I just can't get over her, so the chorus does hit home still

Thanks for sharing your story! 💪

[@khojohazard]

That ending guitar sounds like the chorus to cold winds blow. First time in my life that I'm catching it 😮

[@hadnick1]

I loved this album and recovery. I had been a black out alcoholic for about five years drinking to the point of passing out every night and getting drunk nightly for about ten years. About two months before this album came out I quit drinking, lost all my friends because they didn’t want to hang out with me if I wasn’t gonna drink with them because I was “a buzzkill” when I wasn’t drunk. I basically listened to this album all day everyday until recovery came out and then did the same thing with that album. I love those two albums. I’ve been sober now for 15 and a half years and I’m doing what I’ve always dreamed of doing, I live on my own ranch and raise livestock and grow/raise all my own food. I would have never been able to accomplish this if I was still spending $400-$700 a week on bottles of whiskey and gin like I was back then. No to mention with the amount of dumb shit(DUIs, drunk in public’s, fights, running across freeways in the middle of the night, drinking to the point of planning on not waking up and throwing up multiple times in my sleep) I did while blacked out I’d probably be in prison or dead…

[@JG_TheDamaja]

I dont know if yall done it yet or not, but id love to see her reaction to Castle/Arose after this! Or whenever yall get to Revival album...Great reaction as well!

[@erroristmusic]

This track's chorus is still so smooth. I love Deja Vu so damn much.

[@Thanos1908]

The bassline is VERY similar to the one from "Cold Wind Blows"

[@Milkers777]

Deja Vu is possibly the best song off Relapse very introspective and to clarify 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 most personal rapper since Pac✍🏽🐐💯(Also this beat is fucking nasty Dr. Dre put his foot in the production 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 consistently from Dre on an Eminem album soon hopefully 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 throughout his entire discography.)

[@kimzwolinski9919]

Good reaction. Relapse is a weird 1 when it first came out i loved eminem so much i listened to it non stop and kind of forced myself to love it. After a while didnt like it and thought it was trash. Now 15 years later i love some of the songs more than ever, but cannot listen to more than a few tracks at a time from this album. Most em albums i can listen from track 1 all the way through.

An addict can't take any mind altering substances coz it messes up ur judgement im in recovery for alcoholism which is a 2 fold illness a physical allergy & a mental obsession im over 4yrs soba alcohol is just a symptom from feeling restless irritable & discontent. God bless you all have a great day 🙏

[@kaynesheldon4905]

I feel you brotha, I’m an alcoholic. Already got both hips replaced from drinking. Now I need my knee done... it’s hard man. I’m turning 29 in March. I can’t just blame sports for destroying my body. It’s destroys me inside as well having to start over for third time with absolutely nothing. With the grandparents no vehicle. I’ve tried and still trying. Eats at me everydayyyyy. Watched my mother die in front of me in a car accident dad gave me up he was in and out of jail my whole childhood. Was exposed to things before I was even 10. But I’m trying. I’m trying.

[@JoshieMadhatt]

I relate to this so much. I used to be addicted to Ambiens back in 10th grade. It's crazy how you rationalize it in your head when you're addicted. You say "I'll just have one more, I'm super stressed, and I'll stop tomorrow" And the horrible thing about Ambiens is they put you in that hypnotic state where you just blackout and then you'll take like 5 of em without realizing it. Wake up and get told stories about what you did. There's one story that's pretty funny but not. I once was fucked up on Ambiens and apparently I wedged my undies up and told my sis "look I'm J-lo" But I ain't taken them in a long long time. Also I relate to it cuz the reason I started was because I never processed the grief about my grandmother. I used the pills to escape, and eventually it wasn't even to deal with stress it was just to stop the craving

[@marshmellow-tuff]

Been there. It was Dugs when younger then Alcohol 42 now Drank every day for about 15 years started out 1 daily more on weekends By the end of it was drinking litres of spirts a week. Every night waking up in pain like I was getting stabbed. Went on a big bender one night almost 4 years ago 1.75L over about 10-12 hours came home and opened another bottle. Poured it and ended up tipping it down the sink. Went to the Dr after about 6 weeks about the pains Had bloods and told me I had to stop drinking because my levels were like x6 over allowable limit and if I stop they should sort them self out over the course of 3-4 weeks. Didn't tell him I hadn't had a drink for 6 weeks already. Life tests us I have been through a lot Lets just say most of what Em sings about I have personally lived through and more But you have to have something to live for a meaning Be determined to make a change find ways to break the cycle It's not easy

Mmmm great series...You're absolutely right about the skit. By the way, Relapse also has great funny skits,like Ken Kaniff, which we know Cliff loves, and the Steve Berman one,with his usual wonderful mood..l don't even know if Karen has ever heard either one of these characters

[@Imbatman257]

The Damn at the end is layered because Damn man what’s wrong with me but also Em always took shots at Elvis and himself and the you think back and you realise that Elvis passed on in his toilet so the irony is that Em almost came close to replicating that!
