CASTLE & AROSE - Eminem (UK Hip Hop Couple Reacts)

[@michaelsaylor4903]

This is a true story. He overdosed and was in the hospital on christmas which is also hailees birthday

[@loneb9759]

He almost died from an overdosed in 07... Rewinding the tape, is basically him changing his faith, when he realises he is going to survive. So he changes the ending of "Castle"... He is no longer going to feel sorry for himself and try to self destruct, he is gonna fight back🔥

[@gregvickers9976]

He overdosed and nearly died so the song is a letters to his daughters then the moment of overdosing and goes back to his recovery from it

[@alex_harnar_618]

There were 4 samples in the song: ‘Arose’ by Eminem (2017) ------------------------- 1. ‘The Rose’ - Bette Midler (1979) (The first 52 seconds of this song make up the main sample of the song)---------------------------- 2. ‘When The Levee Breaks’ - Led Zeppelin (1971) (Which are the sounds of the kick & snare drum used throughout the song until the final minute.) --------------------------- 3. ‘I’m Gonna Love You Just A Little Bit More Baby’ - Barry White (1973) (Which is the interpolated main pattern of the drum beat for the song.) ---------------------------- 4. ‘Do The Funky Penguin’ - Rufus Thomas (1971) (This one was hard to find, but it’s the vocal sample saying: “Ugh!” layered in with the drums. It’s a little hard to hear.) --------------------------

Thank you Mr Haz and Queenie! It's pretty cool that he sampled Bette Midlers "The Rose" in the track titled "Arose" btw. If you want more of Em's perspective on his dad I def recommend his recent track "Leaving Heaven"!

[@aprilboxton2284]

Yes... he overdosed at the end of 2007... just b4 Xmas(hailies bday)

[@davidbode3461]

SO glad you did both of them together! Have you heard Mockingbird before? If not it would be cool to see a reaction to it

[@marshalleashappie978]

[@subliminal5132]

*EMINEM - STAY WIDE AWAKE*

[@oblivionenjoyer2618]

Just discovered you guys, awesome together u two. Keep going

[@jasonusher3824]

Great reaction, this two song story is a masterpiece in every part of music

[@dannyconnor9256]

Basically Castle is about him taking drugs first before anything including Halie which later on in his life would result in putting Eminem into a coma which almost killed him ( 2 hours he had left to live the doctors told him, luckily Paul, Eminems manager found his body overdosed just in time ) The next song is Arose which eminem is laying in his hospital bed manifesting his thoughts which he has made into a song. A song to express all his emotions into one and let them out because if he would of died, he would of never had the chance to say all of this. At the end he rewinds the tape back to Castle and throws all his drugs down the toilet and flushes it to say he's rewinding back time now, no more drugs and staying sober ! Masterclass

[@breadboy9714]

This was about 2007 when he overdosed and he did it day before Xmas and Xmas is his daughters bday

[@cjb444220]

Awesome reaction. One of the few songs from em that will make me tear up. A couple other good songs. Believe. All ai think about (bar heavy). And two songs that are kind of linked are Stan and Bad Guy. Ok sure you've heard Stan before. Also Rock Bottom and Fine Line compliment each other well. Great reaction!

[@aprilboxton2284]

Proof was his ride or die.... he wouldn't be who he is without proof!! (His words not mine)

[@charg1nmalaz0r51]

Yeah the hospital visit happened when he overdosed

[@jcIIXVIIIVII]

The end of Castle with him passing out was a reference to him overdosing in 2007, and Arose is about his experience from overdosing and being near death, but making it through, both from nearly dying and his pill addiction. And seeing that McDonald's made me go out and get some too 😄

[@darshaka]

Good reaction! I kindly suggest you guys to do lyrics videos for Em songs so you won't miss much.

[@اغانيمترجمة-ب1ذ]

It happened all of it but he talk about second chances and how he will do the right thing now and stop taking pills

[@gregvickers9976]

Really enjoy your reactions also

[@michaelboschmcnabb6200]

[@fazlinlesar1301]

Yes it happend he od at the end of 2007

[@PeAceArtist95]

Fair play you guys , you seem agreat couple its awsome to see

[@mrshelby4412]

Yeah it’s the truth, he was knocking on deaths door, he ding, dong, ditched it.

[@UncleRandy73]

Proof actually plays the role of another rapper who got shot before he died “Toy Soldiers” video. Then go listen to the verse on Yelawolf ft Em “Best Friend” 🔥

[@cristalclear4205]

It's a true story, on walk through he says i was knocking on death's door

[@UncleRandy73]

He used Arose to go back and rewrite the last verse of Castle to end different.

[@jelleadams8459]

This is 100% true story i think it was 07 that he overdoses and was near death

[@jamesswan6813]

hey new subscriber your vids are awesome can you please react to proof Kurt kobain and Eminem difficult

[@MaximDL1410]

👏❤️🐐🙌

[@evanforensics]

Every time I hear you talk, you remind me of Ali G.

[@brockwilson6145]

You're so dope!

[@Reyvius78]

he really did od in 07 and I think it was Paul Rosenberg who found him in his bathroom, doctors told him his organs were collapsing and could've died if he arrived a bit later. It's literally a miracle if we still have him...

[@Xplicit101]

No his kids found him. From his interview: ''At some point... I got up to use the bathroom. I was standing there, trying to take a piss, and I fell. I hit the floor hard. I got back up, tried again - and boom, I fell again. And that time I couldn’t get up. They say I made it back to the bed somehow. I don’t remember that. All I remember was hitting the bathroom floor and waking up in the hospital. The first thing I remember is trying to move, and I couldn’t. It’s like I was paralyzed - tubes in me and shit. I couldn’t speak. The doctors told me I’d done the equivalent of four bags of heroin. They said I was about two hours from dying''

[@Reyvius78]

@@Xplicit101 yeah i remember this interview now, exept the fact that his children found him. But i was pretty sure Paul was involved somehow like the girls called him or what not

[@jessicazhuwao5053]
