When he said “that song really out that negative energy out there and he ended up being hooked on drugs” I think that’s what really happen to Tupac too, he didn’t predict his future he created it through his music by constantly saying he was gonna get murdered and biggie was just unfortunate at the wrong place at the wrong time. People don’t realize that we are very powerful creators and we create our lives through our thoughts, spoken word and actions.

Proof has always got Em's back 👀❤️

I'm just glad he overcame his addiction.

Eminem is a genius. He proved how powerful words and emotions are when people REALLY believe them.

If only Mac Miller had somebody watching him while doing drugs... Rest in Power to that man

Man this guy has made a whole ass career off being Em's ex bodyguard

Em stories are always interesting

When he got clean, and had some time to readjust, he took his rhymes to a whole different level. Blew my mind!

I'm glad that Eminem is 11 years clean now. I know how hard it is to get clean and stay clean. So I give him big props for it.

22 years ago, I did cocaine with Manson. No cap. Backstage at the Hammerstein Ballroom where my friend worked the security for the shows. And he gave me a shirt that said "staff: I did drugs with Manson". Not a big drug person or drinker, even then, and especially not now, but damn that was a once in a lifetime. He was very cool, respectful, didn't even swear when talking. Very self contained and intelligent and this was early years so it wasnt crazy like I heard it got later on. We all hung out for about 20 minutes and that was it. I was shocked when ERW came forward with her allegations as he seemed not like that. But he got heavier and heavier into cocaine, and absinthe, and morphed into something else. So don't ever underestimate the power of drugs, because one day while you think you're doing them recreationally, they are actually doing you seriously. They can actually rob you of part of your humanity. They will rob you of who you really are, and you become something else, unrecognizable to yourself and those who love you. I know because my ex became an addict and alchaholic, who tried to get clean but relapsed and to this day isn't clean. He told me that even when you get clean, you will never get back all you've lost, and it will leave you forever changed.

Thanks for the enlightenment on behind the scenes.... Respect to Big Naz and the Legend, Eminem 💪💪

Thanks for the video, CAM CAPONE NEWS

Grimey MF’s need to sign a no disclosure agreement.....

I seen a middle aged man throw a joint on stage at a Bone Thigs concert and yell "That's for Layzie!!" One of the entourage picked it up and pocketed it. the dude was next to me yelling "Noooooooo"

*_"I don't need to buy any drugs, man, people give me 'em"_* Hello - Eminem Edit(1): When addiction comes back to get you like these comments. Edit(2): When youre high and you come back and re-read this comment... shit man where am i going.

bruh looks like sheek looch lol

I’m born and raised Baltimore and even though I love my city it’s all bent up Baltimore is an unreal version of hell and you got to keep moving here special kind of “training” you get growing up here...beautiful people but a lot of brokenness sad

I'm so happy eminem didn't die young like the vast majority of music legends not just hip hop but rock as well

Drug ballad is the song he’s referring to.

interesting information. Thanks for making this.

That’s some love to watch someone sleep to make sure they don’t die

s/o to Eminem for making my childhood lit AF

These interviews are good to watch tbf :)

Rave parties in Detroit, in the mid to the late 90's were AWESOME!!!

Who knew.. A single bodyguard could have prevented Em from doin drugs, 🤔🤔😒😂😂😂

the "book" look's like a special Rolling Stone magazine 🤦🏿‍♂️🤣

Damn. As a DJ I was throwing drugs into the crowd... Come to find out they shoulda been throwin drugs at me. Im heartbroken

Big naz seems like a really cool guy , great interview

no true drug addict would toss their drugs on stage

I could listen to Big Naz tell these stories all day..To be real though, there's a few contradictions in these stories, but overall very interesting.

"he was on a diet... So he'd only take half an ex" 🤣

13:30 bodyguard was gonna say no but then said yes super quickly.

Big Naz’s bestfriend in high school: look bro. Your rap name has to be the thing you like more than anything.... Big Naz was born

All these gangsters becoming authors in 2019

That “Slow-Mo” was the best I’ve ever heard !! Em did his best shit on stuff.

this guy reminds me of a dorky friend who always tells stories about his big brother but exaggerates EVERYTHING and just makes it up as he goes but people believe cause they cant disprove him lolll

“At what point did the drugs start to get heavy” ....”Baltimore “ BAHAHAHA. Being born there, but lived not far from there... that made me bust out laughing.

We had two bags of grass, 75 pellets ofmescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a saltshaker half-full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers... Also, a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether, and two dozen amyls

So I look up this video and I get a commercial saying if me or anyone I know is suffering from addiction to call a certain number. Man KZfaq and these algorithms ain't no joke.

When he watched Em sleep he could spot the exact second he started dreaming.😂😂

The goat

Dentists Came Thru With The Wippits 😂😂🤦🏽‍♂️

Thought that was franklin from gta v for a sec

Just realized that i watched a video released from Eminem today called "Tone deaf" At the beginning of thr video you can see a gas station written "Shady bizness" on it. Now I just watch this video and learned that this guy named his book the same.

R..I.P Proof never be forgotten .

“It’s because these drugs I do that’s why I do these things I do” Em “It’s because of the drugs Shady does what he does and is what he is” Em

OMG BYE DRUG BALLAD HOW CAN U FORGET!!! I wasn’t into them either at that time but he killed it and still love that song

"Throwing on stage" is an analogy. The industry literally finds a way to put it in front of you.

Because of em song I can't even blink.

I have always wondered what would happen if he stopped using drugs in the early 2000's- what the Encore album might be, would Relapse and Recovery exist?!

Great job cam

Lol Em was wild af back in the day in his early years... All the crazy stories that have came out over the years from the Up in Smoke tour, Anger Management tour, etc...

But Eminem This Is Your Record Release Party

Had me looking out my window when them sirens were on 😂

Wow, interesting stories!

Em don’t die!! He Fucking multiply🔥👉🏼💯🙏👈🏼

At 5:00 he let's someone lock him out of a room where his Eminem is at ....what a great bodyguard

Have no idea what drug he was addicted to but it must be really difficult to stop when you have hundreds of millions of dollars and could buy whatever you want 4 the rest of your life. Most addicts quit because they cant afford it just too hard to come up with enough money day after day. Good 4 him.

Peep needed friends like this...

I worked the door for a rave that em had in hamtramic mich back in the day.... Epillz and balloonzz all day and night long....

“I’d have to go back and read my book to remember the details of that story” then proceeds to give an extremely detailed account of what happened. This dude making stuff up.

Without shady on drugs, then we would’ve never seen the best of em

"Let's start from the beginning"

I swear on everything I was at that rave at a wearhouse right on the 8 mile line.

Im that guy that throws the drugs on stage.

Yo said Baltimore as the answer for that😭😭🤦🏿‍♂️ cmon yooo🤣🥴

says 14 drugs can only name 4 sus

Lol Baltimore dam iTs really is like that I live in Baltimore and that’s a common story people come to bmore start doing drugs and come addicted and end up stay in Baltimore for years being drug addicts and having drug habits then finally get clean and say only if I never came to Baltimore or lived in bmore

Always hard to trust someone with a book to sell

Damn I wish I could've seen that Boston show 😂🤣😂

He said eminem was pretty much drug free when he made drug ballad... Then at the end of the interview proceeds to tell us eminem took 14 drugs in one day whilst recording the Marshall mathers LP.???

Guy says Em didn't take drugs till after "got a hold on me " Drugs Ballard . Then ten mins later says he took 14 different drugs while recording Marchael Matthers LP. That is time line impossible

man...turns out Em's worst day on drugs is like a normal tuesday for me...

I like this interviewer. He is just as good as DJ Vladimir.

14 different drugs in one day would be an epic day that would have definitely had some moments of insanity. You would think that such craziness would be memorable. You would remember each and every drug, when they were took and probably how much, what the effects were when they kicked in and a lot of other details yet this dude can’t name but 3-4 drugs that he’s already talked about multiple times. I’ve been a pretty hardcore drug addict/user for about 22 years. I’ve got many binges where I did lots of drugs in combination and large quantity. I can tell you about those times with vivid detail that’s as factual correct as you could want it to be. This dude was sober for all these events yet can’t give one minute of a story that isn’t some generic bullshit.

Guess I wasnt the only person who ask ER doctors for narco prescriptions and them saying no lmao.

All these ex bodyguards can't wait to get the gen out.

Even during my wildest times as a teen and young adult, there is no way I would be taking random drugs thrown to me from people I can't even see well from a large audience. You have no clue what it may be mixed with or cut with. That is just an open invitation to a horrific trip that can turn real ugly or an overdose because a certain drug mixture just does not agree with my heart beating normally or at all while causing massive seizures. Can you imagine what was thrown onstage during Woodstock? Janis Joplin overdosed there and after hearing this story, it's a good chance it may have been from something thrown onstage during her performance.

we still love u brother ..!!

I'm simple I see em in the title and click

Cool, calm, just like my mom With a couple of Valiums inside her palm

Drug Ballad give emphasis of Em's love affair with drugs.

he’s making shit up.

It’s fucking annoying when people say that Em fell off when we went sober. When he was fully addicted around 2004 - 2007, the music quality started going down while he was on drugs.

Iwas at that concert it was actually Worcester ma 1999 up in smoke tour

who heard the police sirens in the back ground around 730min

What person suffering from drug addiction hasn't! Whats really amazing is the people in comments saying how glad they are he overcame his addiction! Like they have any idea what the hell is going on in Mr. COUNTERFEIT'S LIFE!

Crazy af

Seems like a normal day to me🤷‍♂️

9:04 "he took a ex, and a cap of a shrooms" seems legit

I gotta watch like that

This what Sheek Louch do when he's not with D-Block and The Lox protecting D12.

‘Em was drug free when he recorded drug ballad’ proceeds to tell a story about how he took 14 drugs in 1 day whilst recording MMLP

Em is the GOAT

Even the hardest addicts ain’t taking 14 different drugs a night unless you are counting coffee, nicotine, etc.. even then that’s a stretch. Exaggeration for views of course, don’t be silly. His point is, Em was getting blasted. You don’t have to be famous to do that.

NEZ LA PREZ!! BIG WILLZ RECORDS

I wish we could hear Proof doin the 2nd verse of Brain Damage

I would've thought that all bodyguards would have to sign some kind of non-disclosure agreement.

Earth calling pilot to copilot,looking for life on this planet sir,no sign of it,all I see is a bunch of smoke flying and I'm so high I might die if I go by it,let me out of this place I'm out of place,I'm in outer space,I just vanished without a trace,I'm going to a pretty place now where the flowers grow,I'll be back in an hour or so. Still some of the best lines I've ever heard.

I think a lot of what he’s saying is true up until the end
