Watch our full Deep Dive into Eminem's studio process: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bbhlaK50saqUlKM.html

On the rest of that interview, he talks about Ems explanation. He loves what he does, but he got children to come home to. Won’t let the career consume him. I heard he learned that from Dre.

That comes from his hustle and work mentality. He treats his passion as a job and never forgets working like we all do.

My man turned rap into a 9-5 so he can take care of his kids. Respect.

He went home to take care of his girls. My neighbor growing up was one of Hailie's teachers, and she would always talk about how present he was for her at all school events and parent teacher conferences. She was VERY impressed by how much he cared for his daughter - that is something I will never forget and I think EVERYONE should know about him. He is a STAND UP man!

😂😂😂he said" I ain't doing no overtime"

Setting healthy boundaries between work and his personal time 👏🏽 love you Marshall 😍

When you can choose your hours but stick to the traditional 9-5! Love it 😭

It's actually a good mentality to have. Leaving at a height of inspiration without burning yourself out means you're far less likely to get tired of what you do and deplete your creativity. You'll be waiting to come back tomorrow and start your day with the satisfaction of finishing something.

That is legit funny. "Em, you gonna finish that verse? It's almost done." "Nah bro, I'll see you tomorrow at 9 am," 🤣

9 to 5 schedule sounds like he's just in time to meet Hailey at home

Dudes got kids. He's built his life and career so he doesn't have to grind late hours, and instead can focus on the balance of his responsibilities both as an artist, and a father and adult. I respect that.

Some might say, “Why not finish the verse, where’s the passion?” But the consistency is the passion. He is strictly dedicated to his craft. He’ll come back and finish every verse he has to instead of randomly deciding to work later because he had an inconsistent start.

Its prolly cause he has 3 little girls at home, to take care of, & be present for in their life. Music can wait, especially when you blink & their grown!

Most importantly Em doesn't rush it!! He trusts the process. What was dope today will be dope tomorrow.

One of the main points on his rehab was "family comes first", work can't take all day otherwise you start losing references and then you end up falling down again. Keeping straight is all about commitment and never lose focus

That's a disciplined man. One who makes rules for himself and sticks to it. Pretty rare in today's world. These kind of people the most successful ones.

Missed the best part where he explains that he’s been grinding his whole career and now he’s trying to have more time for other things like family

He's a family man. From the very start!!! His daughter is EVERYTHING!!!🙂💯

I bet Em doing this had to do with him going home to Hailey. Being a good dad was really important to him.

Em has a great work ethic. Despite not needing to work full time he still keeps those hours and heads home to his family. No overtime. There’s always tomorrow.

As a freelancer videographer, I respect this alot. Putting too many hours in one day will just burn you out in the long run. If you're thinking about the whole picture, consistency is much more important to maintain.

I saw someone say somewhere that his “work schedule” is why he raps so damn fast 😂

That’s the grind mentality man. Everyday.

That is the reason Em is so successful...... consistency......sounds to me like he didn't let the music take over his life. Good for him.

Eminem owns his work, his work doesn't own him 💪

He tries to balance his time and not overwork himself like he did when he was younger so he can have more time with his family. He's actually a great father and person. His music was really just a way for him to vent his anger, pain, and frustrations. He was blessed when he was introduced to Dr Dre but he didn't put it above his family. I'm glad I've always looked up to him when I was younger, I don't regret it at all, especially after watching him and his kids grow up. Great job Em. 🖖

Self-Care. Balance. Em knows whats up.

He got a kid waiting at home. I respect that 🙌🏽🙌🏽

Sounds like he treats his family very seriously. He's still top dog.

To live a sober life you must follow a routine.. that is what em was doing and he is doing it still I think

That’s actually called work-life Balance. ❤️👑

The explanation was incredible. Em put his family first over the music. That’s proper priorities for a father. It’s one thing when you’re trying to make it, but Em had already made it at that point.

i bet it's hard for him to leave his verse and music halfway through, but he knows he's learned to not overdo anything

He grew up in Detroit and in poverty so he knows what it is to work. I respect that he starts at 9am and finishes at 5 pm. Also takes an hour lunch break. Good man. Work life balance is a thing and I’m sure he enjoy watching his kids grow and spending time with them.

He really said "when I'm gone just carry on"😂

That’s a man who treats his music career like a real job and his time is very valuable…..Result now he’s one of the wealthiest, most popular and biggest rap stars in the world. 👍👍👍👍

Eminem- Oh looks like another club bang- (Clock turns 5pm) Eminem- I’m out, see you tomorrow.

The definition of work smarter not harder

I love how he takes time for himself..doesn't overwork himself and still puts out amazing stuff

you cant deny em's work ethic is incredible.

So not only is he the GOAT rapper, he understands his parental responsibility as well and doesn’t rely on maids and au pairs. Mad respect

"i get there at 9" "He shows up on time" That shit hot 🔥

you can tell that eminem’s a really good dad

Em is still in that 8mile car factory state of mind😂😂

And this is why he has been on too for 25 years. Work life balance. Doesnt treat work like a party and doesnt treat his personal time like work.

That's because he's not making it more than it has to be . He has a family to care for. I've heard this so many times about Em. It's admiral he's so committed and grounded.

Eminem understand time, while others chasing money. Now he got money and time, while they Broke and time pressured

Perfect Balance Between your work and your life Simple 👍👏

This interview was amazing made me look at him in a completely different view he separates work and life And doesn’t let either one consume the other no matter how much money is making from it

When he signed the deal, he was working at some diner at the time. He made sure to call in to say that he won't be coming in for his shift. Classy move giving a heads up.

I needed this

Every good writer knows you have to leave a little something hanging so you're inspired the next day.

A routine will make your life so much more easier it gives you purpose and drive and focus

Work/life balance 👍. Early and punctual shows respect for the Work that makes life possible. Not one minute more after 5 shows an appreciation for Life.

Real talk, that is why he is great at what he does!! He understands balance.

He just gave the keys to longevity. It's allowed him to stay in the game for decades and have well adjusted children. Legend

Work-life balance. I love it

Imagine an Emimem Concert starts at 10am lmao

I guess he can finally get by with his nine-to-five and provide the right type of life for his family.

Family man talking his family and kids seriously! Love that

Thats how i do my bosses at work. The schedule says 9-5. Its 5. Ill see you tomorrow. Work to live. Dont live to work. Even if you are doing something you love and you are happy doing it. You still need time just for you. ❤✌🧠

The perfect separation between work and family.👍

What a guy ! One of the biggest, one of the richer ones still so humble and easy going.

That is dedication and discipline... and that is why em is at the top.

Its just a regular day job now, str8 up 9-5 WITH a lunch break, humble as f 🙏🏼

He actually worked a 9-5, he knows 8 hours a day is a full day 😂

Went to the comments to be like “yea he did that for his kids, no doubt” and then I read someone say in the comments that “in the the rest of the interview, Akon says it was because of Em’s kids.” Makes perfect sense. Wakes up, takes them to school, eats lunch, probably has someone pick the kids up, home for dinner, bath time, bed time, wake up, breakfast with family, repeat. Eminem is a true family man and showed every rapper, fan, anyone he could, that he will always be a father first. People usually either become or avoid being like the parent they dislike or like the most. I’m glad he did the right thing and avoided being an absent father in his children’s lives.

Never burnt out! Reason why we get awesome music.

And that’s why almost all his music are straight bangers because he takes his time to perfect his work

He is OSHA compliant 😆

That is bad ass. I gotta admit I couldn’t do it, couldn’t walk out in the middle.

Healthy work boundaries. Love to see it.

If “I ain’t doing overtime” was a person Ong 💀🤣

That's that Detroit Autoworker's Blood in him!! He chooses discipline to assist in his creativity instead of getting high! Awesome!

That is called work-life boundaries and we love to see it

That 9am - 5pm ain't no joke 🤣 clock in and clock out

I'm listening to Akon talk about Eminem all I heard was a person that has structure and discipline that's it and that's all nothing else to talk about business

Set those boundaries to keep work from following you home. I imagine that's common for some creative types. Fresh perspective the next day, maybe he decides to change or scrap his verse cause he wasn't feeling it after he had stepped away.

He´s doing the whole world famous celeb thing like an 8 hour job and goes home on time to have a life. Nothing but respect for Eminem!!

Had heard that your passion makes you forget about everything else. That's why people like Em are so important to generations of young aspiring artists ❤️

RAP GOD for a reason,

That’s called discipline. Em has his priorities straight, namely his health and his family.

The thing about leaving a task undone and returning to complete it later, like em clocking out at 5pm and coming back at 9 am, is that within those hours, you can always find a way to make it better than if you rushed it and tried to finish it in one shot.

I love that Em didn’t fear not being able to get back to that creative mode if he stopped working for the day. It’s an amazing trait, huge respect!

Yea I’ll be back at 9am Bruh I’m Dead 😂

If you go listen to his 25 to life on the recovery album then you will know why he works this way.

I so need to learn that discipline.

Can't rush greatness

He also raised his daughter, and 2 others. Probably spent time with them as well.

hard work and dedication are important just as important as taking your breaks and going home to rest when its time

It's a job. Obvious he is good at it. The best to me. Was fun to watch. Great video

Been fan since junior high. Now im 35

Everybody who grinds to hard always crashes, whether it’s a month, 2 months, 6 months you eventually crash. Something I’m learning as life goes on

Makes sense. Em worked 9-5s and shitty jobs for years before he made it big. Plus he's got kids, he's wrote plenty of songs talking about how much they mean to him. Sounds to me like he's found and kept that perfect work-life balance lol.

You can leave the 9-5 but the 9-5 don't leave you

The man has great discipline! To have passion towards his music but still doesn’t trump his love for his fam! ❤

"If you don't treat your passion like a 9-5, you will end up needing a 9-5"

When you're a good dad.. You got to get home to your kids early.

No matter how much you love your craft, its healthy to balance it with life. I think thats a reason why Em still can work to this day
