Cleanin' Out My Closet - Eminem (REACTION! by metalheads)

[@anozyra]

“Remember when Ronnie died and you said you wished it was me?” His uncle Ronnie committed suicide in 1991, and Debbie told Marshall that she wished he had died instead of her brother.

[@santonino7741]

Wait ronnie suicide😱😱😱😱

[@santonino7741]

Is it true Eminem lost 2 uncles

[@alvajjoe]

This song is a perfect example of Eminem's greatness. He allows people into his life by being so open and using real peoples names and whatnot. It allows people to connect with him. It causes you to have an emotional tie to his music.

[@AprilGShowers]

He says their names because he's telling his story. He's allowing himself to be vulnerable for us/his fans. He is a genius lyricist. The taking the bullets out of the gun line is referring to when he caught Kim (his ex-wife) with another man. He's not apologizing either. He's being sarcastic. You just have to keep listening to his music & then you'll learn. All of his bars have meaning. He is the GOAT & always will be for a reason.

[@brandonhinrichs8657]

His mother had Munchausen bi- proxy she made him and his brother sick to get attention. He eventually testified against his mother in a court case stemming from her intentionally making them sick. As soon as he was even slightly financially stable he won custody of his brother

[@toats185]

Em caught her with another dude and contemplated killing her and the guy. Eminem - Mockingbird Eminem - the Way I am

[@frankiek2269]

Em caught Kim with another guy and pistol-whipped him badly. He caught charges on it and had to go to court.

[@gerardochavez9318]

If you’re on the “The Eminem Show” album listen to “The Kiss-Skit” right before “Soldier”

[@SourLemonadeXXX]

@@gerardochavez9318best skit transition I’ve heard. Song is crazy, one of my favorites

[@Kno_Buddy]

With artists like EMINEM, Hopsin, Kendrick Lamar, Joyner Lucas, etc the way that they talk about their lives , politics, and social commentary is known as Conscious Rap. It’s Rap with a message as opposed to this mumble rappers and SoundCloud rappers.

[@Vamparina413]

His mom actually sued him for 10 million and dissed him in a cd and this song is about her

[@MegaRcdrifter]

Yea but she ended up with a big L because most of the money she won went straight to the lawyers

[@Abracastabya]

Eminem *never really* disses subliminally, he will *almost always* say the individual in questions name - he's even gone to court over that very problem. But I love it! He never holds back from what he wants to say and if you stand in his way he'll diss you too lol.

[@charlesseeley9747]

All truth. This man is a genius. No rapper ever has sold more albums. Ever. And the most awards

[@mariehladisch5041]

The reaction was awesome, you guys seem super sweet! Just to clear a couple of things up that you might've not known before: His mother abused him as a child, was a drug addict and had Munchhausen syndrome by proxy (which made her mix pills and stuff in his food to make him sick so she'd get pity points and attention for having a sick child). It got so bad that Em's little brother was taken away by child protective services when he was only eight. When Eminem got famous he spoke out about the shitty childhood his mother put him through and his mother made a cd (which was supposed to be a diss?) to stop him. It didn't work so his mother sued him for defamation (she wanted 10 million dollars from him) but she lost. Em got full custody of his little brother Nathan Kane and raised him, along with his biological daughter Hailie Jade and two adopted daughters (Alaina Marie, who is the daughter of Kim's twin sister and Whitney Lane who is Kim's daughter with another man).

[@Darkness24273]

I'm so glad she is with you explaining everything to you.

You NEED to listen to his song Headlights next.

[@millardfilmore1403]

no they dont. he has SO many better songs than that. you guys always recommend the worst shit lmao. yall had them literally reacting to eminems NEW shit before getting to his classics ... so stupid.

[@wanjopblah4891]

Metalheads cant explain about the lyrics.....their reaction is just smiling on the camera

[@tribecasfinest3561]

You gotta turn the music up we can barley hear it

[@TheDictismiT]

Eminem is actually so ashamed of this song he never performs it live anymore. There is a song (Headlights) where he basically says hes sorry for this song and that he forgives everything his mother did against him.

[@numathegoat]

Eminem finded kim with another man in a parking lot and he would have killed them, but his gun was empty... You are the best👌🏼

[@waffles824]

why was that doofus carrying around an empty gun?

[@Troublesome_96]

Hector Ayala he probably didn’t load the gun because he knew that he was going to regret it.

[@waffles824]

@@Troublesome_96 So then he was never going to kill them and the whole story is bullshit

[@jennag3226]

@@waffles824 He also pulled a loaded gun on his own bodyguard at one point Hector. He took the bullets out bc he knew he woulda killed them if he didn't and he went there suspecting he was gonna find her in such a situation. The smart thinking was "I won't be able to control myself if I find her with a guy so I'm going to take the bullets out so I don't fucking ruin my life over some bitch." Smart. The fact is he still attacked a guy twice his size and maybe more people should take note. But you're an Eminem hater and only see the side of things that you think makes him look bad. Besides, I thought you're hating ass was done with this channel since "stans" ruined it yet here you are on another vid of theirs about an artist you hate. What does that say about you? Oh yeah, that's right, it's your public service. You're fucking pathetic. No, he didn't plan to kill them but that's also NOT what he said you idiot. So no, the story isn't bullshit. At all. There's nothing wrong with not wanting to kill someone and taking measures to help ensure you won't when pushed. That's the fucking point.

[@waffles824]

@@jennag3226 yeah, I can read, someone already posted that even more retarded sounding story. The dude basically went there to see his girl getting fucked by another guy. Hey also, learn how to write a paragraph...no wonder you are impressed by eminems shitty writing.

[@Chipmunkhopper]

you should react to "the kiss (skit), sayin goodbye to hollywood and soldier" in that order it explains the whole bullets gun shooting debate

[@Ben09P]

Did you noticed Eminem mom just put "Pine-Sol" on his food?!

[@keithlabeau8790]

He pistol whipped a bouncer when he saw him kissing Kim outside the club... He has a skit before the song "Soldier" about it and mentions the gun is empty... I also don't know if you caught it but he talks about being a victim of Munchausen syndrome, which basically means his mom made him feel sick just to get pills for her addiction...

[@Troublesome_96]

He didn’t pistol whipped him that was sarcasm. He talks about it in sing for the moment how it was a fist that dropped the bouncer.

[@keithlabeau8790]

@@Troublesome_96 "You full of shit too Guerra, that was a fist that hit you" but he also says "Pistol whipping, mother fuckin bouncers, 6'2" Hes brung it up multiple times with different explanations so I'm not sure either way.

@@keithlabeau8790 The pistol whipping lyrics could just be sarcasm and going with the story. Kinda like saying, "ok if that's what y'all wanna believe then that's fine too."

If you ever meet him you can feel free to try and ask him.

Don't know if this interests you but there's a KZbin channel called Unbashedly Reggie and he breaks down Em songs to a science and does color coded rhyme schemes and everything... I mention this cause you mentioned the poetry side of Em and this really highlights this and how crazy Em is with it... It would be awesome if you guys reacted to a song and then Reggie's breakdown... Either way I highly recommend y'all check his channel out... A good song to do is "Till I Collapse"

Where's my snare? I have no snare in my headphones There you go Yeah Yo, yo Have you ever been hated or discriminated against? I have, I've been protested and demonstrated against Picket signs for my wicked rhymes, look at the times Sick as the mind of the motherfucking kid that's behind All this commotion emotions run deep as ocean's exploding Tempers flaring from parents just blow 'em off and keep going Not taking nothing from no one give 'em hell long as I'm breathing Keep kicking ass in the morning and taking names in the evening Leave 'em with a taste as sour as vinegar in they mouth See they can trigger me, but they'll never figure me out Look at me now, I bet ya probably sick of me now ain't you momma? I'mma make you look so ridiculous now I'm sorry momma! I never meant to hurt you! I never meant to make you cry, but tonight I'm cleaning out my closet (one more time) I said I'm sorry momma! I never meant to hurt you! I never meant to make you cry, but tonight I'm cleaning out my closet Ha! I got some skeletons in my closet And I don't know if no one knows it So before they thrown me inside my coffin and close it I'mma expose it, I'll take you back to '73 Before I ever had a multi-platinum selling CD I was a baby, maybe I was just a couple of months My faggot father must have had his panties up in a bunch 'Cause he split, I wonder if he even kissed me goodbye No I don't. On second thought I just fucking wished he would die I look at Hailie, and I couldn't picture leaving her side Even if I hated Kim, I grit my teeth and I'd try To make it work with her at least for Hailie's sake I maybe made some mistakes, but I'm only human But I'm man enough to face them today What I did was stupid, no doubt it was dumb But the smartest shit I did was take the bullets outta that gun 'Cause I'da killed him, shit I would've shot Kim and him both It's my life, I'd like to welcome y'all to "The Eminem Show" I'm sorry momma! I never meant to hurt you! I never meant to make you cry, but tonight I'm cleaning out my closet (one more time) I said I'm sorry momma! I never meant to hurt you! I never meant to make you cry, but tonight I'm cleaning out my closet Now I would never diss my own momma just to get recognition Take a second to listen for who you think this record is dissing But put yourself in my position, just try to envision Witnessing your momma popping prescription pills in the kitchen Bitching that someone's always going through her purse and shit's missing Going through public housing systems, victim of Munchhausen's Syndrome My whole life I was made to believe I was sick when I wasn't 'Til I grew up, now I blew up, it makes you sick to ya stomach Doesn't it? Wasn't it the reason you made that CD for me Ma? So you could try to justify the way you treated me Ma? But guess what? You're getting older now and it's cold when you're lonely And Nathan's growing up so quick he's gonna know that you're phony And Hailie's getting so big now, you should see her, she's beautiful But you'll never see her, she won't even be at your funeral! See what hurts me the most is you won't admit you was wrong Bitch do your song, keep telling yourself that you was a mom! But how dare you try to take what you didn't help me to get You selfish bitch, I hope you fucking burn in hell for this shit Remember when Ronnie died and you said you wished it was me? Well guess what, I am dead, dead to you as can be! I'm sorry momma! I never meant to hurt you! I never meant to make you cry, but tonight I'm cleaning out my closet (one more time) I said I'm sorry momma! I never meant to hurt you! I never meant to make you cry, but tonight I'm cleaning out my closet

React to No Apologies by Eminem. Great song. Make it uncut versions from now on unless you guys are opposed to explicit lyrics. Otherwise, it's great seeing some more vids from you guys. As far as Em's songs being more personal, he does have a ton of personal songs. As I mentioned before, it's his therapy (which he has mentioned many times in interviews). It's why his fans can relate to him bc a lot of the stuff he has went through are what his fans have also went through. He does rap about other topics tho (see Mosh or Guilty Conscience as a couple of examples of this).

[@DerekRezo212]

A couple weeks after the marshall mathers lp dropped he pistol whipped a bouncer who was kissing Kim. Yes he did mean he was going to shoot kim and the bouncer. Eminem was facing 7-10 years in prison
