I listened to Eminem since he came on scene in the 90’s, it’s incredible how much he has transformed as a person. Not just lyrically through his music, but overcoming his addiction, letting go of the resentment he had towards his mom. He has truly become a better person, and it shows how much he loves his family now. Addiction is a bitch, and when deep into addiction, nobody else matters, even family. He’s truly overcome all of that. I will always love his “old school” music, filled with anger, but truly love the person he’s become and is today. It goes to show, the past doesn’t define who who we are.. there’s always today to change and become the person we want to be. We can’t change the past, but we can control our future. Eminem took control and it shows.

Eminem has always been one of the largest icons of my time... I am 41 yrs young.... His music has followed his path, beginning when he was back on the track of 8 mile to now, As he has become a sober artist and father. He lets us into his world thru music, and we appreciate his music because all of us can relate, what he writes is real... I will always appreciate Eminem as being a ichonic artist!!!

Eminem just reminded everyone why he’s a living legend. This 2024 VMAs performance was a brilliant blend of nostalgia and evolution-bringing back the Slim Shady army with 'Houdini' and then hitting us with the emotional weight of 'Somebody Save Me.' It wasn’t just a performance; it was a statement. Eminem continues to prove that he’s not only relevant but still the king of the stage, 24 years after his VMA debut! 🔥

[@bryanarceta1507]

his verses on "somebody save me" were just so pure... no extravagant wordplay metaphors etc. just raw love for hailey ❤

How can anyone hate on Eminem like he’s better then any rapper now and any rapper from the past it’s not even close: nobody can do what he does his lyrics the way he rhymes and puts words together he’s the absolutely best

[@adewumiadefioye8676]

@MTV: Eminem still got the charms. Houdini is really lit, he deserves the award. More grace bro!

[@willynoriega590]

This is an amazing song. Jelly Roll sang his portion at his El Paso Concert. He told us in the crowd he was doing this for the VMAs. It is so amazing seeing how it came out.

Eminem is 51 yrs old and still better than anyone today ....he dont even have to try he just wakes up and pisses excellence and is on a level of awesomeness that has never been reached by another human ever 😊

[@MikeHenry3280]

at the end was he was in the back sitting there looking up at the videos and pictures... man that was touching... its like he wishes he can go back and do it over but better, but im just glad he turned his life around now...

[@ScarletSpider07]

I like how he shares his life and mindset with us on this one. It’s raw and real

[@NovemIota]

​@@ScarletSpider07 I'll second this motion... even more so, Em has always been raw and real... even through his doped up days and "less-than-stellar" albums, he displayed who and what he was... he may not be able to turn back the clock to un-do the impact Shady had on his family personally, but he's still that young man who believed his words and craft can bring something better for his kids... and hot damn, they did...mos def...

[@ScarletSpider07]

@@NovemIota I totally agree 👍🏼

[@burbusburbus8782]

3:18 someone already brought it up but the fact that you can hear his voice crack is incredibly touching

[@EndreyMusic]

It's a voice technique, he knows exactly where to deliver what

[@burbusburbus8782]

​@@EndreyMusic considering the look he had on the couch, I think he genuinely got emotional

[@EndreyMusic]

@@burbusburbus8782 Yeah Could be but also delivering the same verses/lyrics over and over again does desensitize you to them and it becomes something you automatically do, it's kinda like voice acting

[@lilia2985]

Eminem got very emotional, you could see and feel it. I am not surprised as the song is extremely emotional. I also cry in rivers every time I listen to this beautiful song. Eminem is the best rapper and the most relatable artist to me. The goat.💛🐐

[@harshitpawar9038]

EMINƎM switched my emotions real quick i was so happy on the first song and crying like a baby on second

[@Mavencade2903Cademaven]

Same thing happened to me. That 2nd song hit different when been the same road as a father+addiction.. His music change my life. ❤

This man is an ICON! He is a musical and lyrical genius! Seems devoid of ego, sharing his pain in the only way he knows how. Watching him watch those family videos and seeing the look on his face reliving those moments with regret and shame was moving. He truly is one for the ages. And Jellyrole...equally amazing artist!

[@astoncina]
