"He has some beef with his mama, I didn't know that." Me: Buckle up my dude. Lmao

PS: Eminem's "Headlights" is a MUST after this one. It is basically the "apology/reunion" with his mother after all the stuff that happened between the two of them. It isn't "story book ending" material, but it is REAL WORLD material.

"He has some beef with his mama, I didn't know that" There is all the proof we need that he ain't bullshittin when he said he wasn't really listening to Em back in the day lol

"Remember when Ronnie died and you said you wished it was me?" - That still gets me to this day. Parents say all kind of crazy things to their kids cos of anger or whatever issues the parent has but God damn does it affect the kid for life.

Stevie listen to Headlights, it’s about his mom and it clarifies a bit of the whole thing that happened with his mom.

and I won't stop suggesting Sing for the moment. Until he reacts to it..

That little laugh in the background when he says “she won’t even be at your funeral” (haha) is so fucking cold. Gets me every time

“Em had beef with his mom? I didnt know that” bruh 😂

His Mum sued him for 10 Million Back in the Day and this song is more or less his response to that Lawsuit and her "diss" track against Eminem. And yes he Pistol whipped the Guy Kim was seeing at the time in front of a night club.

You really should react Eminem "Headlights". it's him apologizing to his mother about everything in this song.

This song was one of my ‘anthems’ I’d cling to when I was I the throes of my abusive and incompetent parents. The anger and rage and pain that’s felt in this song are SO authentic and from his soul. I’ll always have Eminem to thank for keeping me alive even when I didn’t want to be. It’s dope you do songs like this on your channel!! Much respect!!! 😌

Eminem made this song for himself. This is like therapy for him when he makes songs like this. That's why his skill means so much to him. He gets it off his chest and he is generous enough to share this with the world. One of the many reasons I have so much respect for this man. Dope break down Stevie, glad y'all chose this one.

Gotta listen to Headlights now man. It's a sequel/reference to this song.

"How dare you try to take, what you didn't help me to get" - Hi Mother tried to sue him for $10m

Eminem has said of all his songs this song he wishes he had never wrote, he has paid to have this song removed from radio stations, and when he hears this song he cringes.

This song literally helped me through so much in my life growing up. No one could ever understand. It’s crazy how you can relate to something.

Yeah in around 2000 - 2001, Em got charged for pistol whipping a bouncer who was fooling around with Kim. He's saying he's lucky there wasn't any bullets loaded or else he might have done some dumb shit. Thanks for your reactions!

Since u did this song its only right u do 'Headlights' as well....right guys?

This jam helps me with my own birth motner issues. I wasn't at her funeral, I didn't even know she died, that she died near my bday, and what she died of...for about 2 years after. This song takes me back to her and what I went thru with her. I loved her and I wish I could of had a real relationship with her, but her own choices took her out of my life. My last words to her ever were "Woman, don't even call me ever again." 2 weeks later she went into a coma, and a few months later, her husband pulled the plug. Then he died 6 months later from what I hear. He always told me and my sisters that we wouldnt be invited to her funeral, or his, and he got his wish. His song gave me the ability to deal, and realize even celebrities go thru hurt and pain as well.

"He had alot of beef with his momma" -that is definitely an understatement

11:24 he's talking about the incident in "soldier" where he pistol whipped the bouncer, the gun was empty.

Definitely one of his greatest beats ever!

Everytime I hear this, I can feel his pain, emotions and passion he out into this track. Always gives me chills sheesh

That flow is so ridiculous no one is ever gunna do that again. 🔥

*Headlights* Next like this so he sees it!

Stevie - oh em had beef with his mom? I didn't know that. Man he opened up a whole new door lol

That third verse is gut wrenching this is a classic song and so good

“How dare you try to take what you didn’t help me to get” is a reference to a lawsuit his mom filed for 10 million because in the song Hi My Name Is he says: “My mom does more dope than i do”. She ended up winning like 10k but after legal fees only about 1400 dollar was left

Yeah “headlights” addresses this song.. also do fack, it’s a total different vibe...

A fun lil fact: Em originally made this beat for Bizarre

Who else talks to Stevie like he can hear you? 😁 "Did that really happen?" Me: yes! "Did that really happen though?" Me: YES!!

this song is not only super bitter sweet if u can relate but the artistry is amazing as well

This is one of, if not THE, most personal tracks that Em has ever released. All the beefs, all the hype and s**t-talking tracks don't even come close to how much this track really reflected Em's private life. Not just at the "time of release", but his whole upbringing and family dynamics that he had to deal with for decades that even some of his closest friends had no idea of what was really going on. And yet, in a way it is very fitting that this one track is often considered Em's best tracks to listen to. Not just because of the lyrics, or the beat, but because it really gives you a true clue to the man behind the music.

''Who made this beat? I'm assuming Eminem made this beat.'' Is the new ''Killing them with cadence.''

Love your Em reactions & Thank you for reacting to one of my fav Eminem songs! You owe it to yourself to watch the video (if you haven't already); the effect is as powerful as 'Stan'. His childhood was horrific and as soon as he got successful his Mother (Debbie) tried to sue him to get her hands on his fortune, selling stories to tabloids, accusing him of lying about her when he wasn't - it just hurt him more even more that she went to those extremes instead of taking ownership of her wrong-doings. He even adopted his little brother (Nate) to get him away from her neglect and abuse. It just makes you respect Em even more for turning his life around and becoming one of the greatest artists of all time.

The pain in this song is palpable. It's so relatable and speaks to so many of us that went through similar shit. This and The Way I Am are so personal and truthful. It's part of why stans feel the way they do about him.

Since cleaning out my closet WHEN I WAS HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE SNARE

Eminem-FINE LINE has got to be on the list Stevie

The gun line really happened. Basically he followed Kim to a club where she was with another guy who was the bouncer (I think) Before he confronted them, he had taken the bullets out of the gun and basically waved around an empty gun for intimidation. He talks about it again in Sing for the Moment. The guy said Eminem pistol-whipped him but Em says that he gave the empty gun to someone else and only punched the guy.

This song was all over the place when the album released. The music video played often on VH1 and MTV

“I cringe every time I hear it on the radio” Em always refers to this song being one of his worst for putting his mom on blast. If he does it and doesn’t like it, he will make an apology song aka headlights

Eminem show hands down one of the most emotional raw pieces of art ever produced. "This is for anyone who's going through some shit in they're lives, so they sit at home cry at night wishing they died. They throw on a rap record and they sit and they vibe. We're nothing to you but we're the fuckin shit in their eyes." ~ Sing or the Moment 💯

Yeah Stevie! He produced this whole track. Many people don't know Em is a producer too, thanks to Dre pushing him to do so. Fire track! 💪🏼🔥

We never know what everyone else is going through or has been through. Always give people love and respect as people first. We are all struggling in our own ways.

Watching Stevie going from knowing Em can rap to understanding why Em has the following he has. It's great fun.

Headlights should be next.!

He was arrested for pulling that gun on Kim and dude at a club.

this song right here got me through so much shit and emotions growing up... hell so many of his songs did. forever in my top 3 of all time.

YES! I've been waiting on this one Stevie! 'Headlights' next! PLEASE! It's a perfect song to do next! Please like this comment so Stevie can react to Headlights! 🖤

I just listened to majesty with nicki again. . And damn he went off

I appreciate it this song.. This is one of the few songs where he dials back on trying to cram word play and crazy rhyme schemes into every line. He focuses on the content over the technical stuff which I appreciate and its dope. When people say he has not content its just word vomit, I point to this song and some others he did in that era.

I was 19 when the Slim Shady LP was released. Was among the first of my friends to hear it (I was a huge Dre fan so first thing I noticed was the beat) ... At the time I heard it and still today his greatest verse, and in my personal opinion to any verse in the history of not just rap, but music, the 2nd verse in this song is just unbelievable. Em has something I think only Biggie had too, and that's that flow, where not just the words at the end of the line are rhyming, but almost every single word in every line doesn't just flow perfectly, but it's actual poetry and tells a deep story. You could see Em in your head yeah, but more importantly you can feel him in your heart. And probably the reason it hits me so personally is cause like so many of us, he's talking about some of the things we're going through, and to know there's other people out there that came through it, just really makes it so much more impactful. He's a living legend, but his greatness unfortunately won't truly be recognized until he's gone.

He talking about money bro. His mom tried to sue him for something like 10 million

Stevie...now you should react to HEADLIGHTS.

Hey man! I know you could never predict doing this would have an impact like this but, your videos on my fav. Artists tech and em really helped me distract myself going through drug withdrawl and in a way relate to someone so i wasnt feeling so down. I myself love listening and breaking down these artists and just watching these was a life saver. Keep doing your thing bro. Thank you.

we need a throwback thursday series where on thursdays you take a dive into songs from the 90s -2000s, like luda, TIP, andre 3000, hell even do like young joc and j-kwon

I’ve been meaning to comment for like 8 vids now but just wanted to appreciate that you don’t let yourself get bullied into being fake, so many channels pretend like they love everything em has done because them stans be extra weird about someone’s opinion. Obviously you react to me because there’s an opportunity to grow and hear someone who’s talented . But it’s crazy people don’t understand you can find someone to be talented but not necessarily find replay value in every song. A lot of songs do have replay value but a lot more are stuck in an era that doesn’t really represent me anymore. Keep up the good work and please don’t change like everyone does with em reactions

I relate to this shit so hard. A lot of times didn't go how they should've with my mom. Dad was non existent. Keep up the good work stevie. Love watching your vids

The only other song that brings me chills like this, disturbed down with the sickness, the last part..... man....

Thank you brother for trying to understand as much as possible from each reaction you are doing great work over here, I can't stop watching your reaction playlist

I was waiting for (THE WARNING TRACK) pls 👍so we get Steve's reaction

Headlights is a must when this song is fresh in your mind!!

This track will always be my favorite EM song. This was just raw and pent-up emotions. He let his listeners in on his life. Headlights was his song to his mother apologizing for not understanding what his mother was going through being a single mother and all. Good shit Mr. Knight.

THIS song introduced entire genre of rap for me.....bought this album.....rest of Em's stuff, and I'm a hip-hop fan now

This song is what got me into Em, he pours his soul in the music and thats whats special with him, Great video as always Stevie. 'when im gone' is another song like this one that you have heard before but not with ya new ears 👍

He is just the best at telling a story. Other rappers can rhyme and make a punch line here and there but he tells a full story and almost always says multiple lines about the same topic before moving on. It's like other rappers are writing in sentences and he writes in paragraphs. You're just going to get a fuller picture and understand more from Em than anyone else. When you combine the ability to communicate better with his lyrical ability and rapping skill, it is just something special.

Stevie you are awesome. I appreciate you recognize eminent lyrical ability but can still be unbiased and say he doesn't make club records, but like you said club records are not everything. Your reactions are fantastic man.

In South Africa the chorus was used in English bar exams

Eminem made the beat🔥 There is fottage of people protesting Em in the actual video. If you search for "Eminem 2001 grammy report" you will also see the fottage☺️

At this point Em was very angry with his mom and Kim in his songs. The I’m sorry mama part is ironical I think. He has many songs about his “beef” with his mom.

"see they can trigger me but they'll never figure me out" this line sticks to my brain like glue. relatable

One of my favorites. Great video, pausing and thinking helps so much with really getting a song.

Everyone hated on Em's production skills ALL THE TIME.

Yo. React to Eminem headlights. To his mom from Marshall matthers lp 2 . Love your videos.peace Norway

been waiting on this one coach... appreciate it and also appreciate you feeling the emotion in this song. gives a little insight on ems lyrics and songs throughout his career

I like these reactions... he's really thinking his responses through.

Gotta do Headlights next! It’s a great follow up to this song especially while it’s fresh in your head

Rony was his uncle that killed himself inside the house an they called his mom to give her the bad news !! reason why he said that in this song!! REMEMBER WHEN RONY DIED YOU SAID YOU WISH IT WAS ME!!

This is the first eminem song I listened to, I really started fucking with him after it

Man this song brings back some memories glad you brought it up

As soon as I saw Marshall (Eminem) I clicked faster than Em rapped Rap God. ❤

I need a doctor next like if you agree with me

Shoutout to you bro. I've watch alot of different reaction channels and most bars go over there heads and it's refreshing to have somone not only hear the bars but respect them.

This is a great. Thanks for this I forget how much I loved Em

I just googled “Eminem censorship fcc” and a bunch of articles from 01-02 on fines and congressional hearings.

Stevie your reactions are awesome! Really appreciate the work, you can see the dedication. This is my favorite beat of all time no question. Let's bring it Bak 2 Bars!!!

I really love how you admit you’ve heard a song before and that where you are at and your perspective is difference now. Things hit differently when we are n a different place.

I really appreciate your reaction on hip hop and rap. Being Norwegian there is much that i dont catch up when listening to rap, but u school me. Much appreciated!

"Raw" from the bad meets evil album

'headlights' he released after his drug addiction apologising to his mom as he understood and didn't blame her for doing drugs and being the way she was.

Hope you and your family are well Stevie 💗 One of my fav alblums from Marshall

I'm so proud of you Stevie! You actually used WHOMEVER instead of just WHO. I wish everyone knew and used the correct word. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

i really like to see "beautiful" and "sing for the moment" on your list

Man I swear this is the realest reaction channel out there. Stevie we recognize the hard work you're puttin in, balancing the job and the channels and everything, it's good shit bro we definitely fuck with it. Random suggestion - it'd be really cool if sometime you went back through a few of the Em songs you did earlier on in your Em journey, giving a few another listen with your new "Em ears", even a few tracks off of his newest album I'd bet we'd all be stoked to rock out with you again

When he's talking about his mom trying to take what she didn't help him get, it's about her trying to sue Em for 11 Million dollars.

This song always makes me cry like a little bitch. My mother is the only one I had all my life and I couldn’t imagine going through something like this with her. I’m glad my mom did as good as she did. I’ll forever be grateful until the day I die.

When he says " how dare you try to take what u didnt help me to get" he means $$. His momma tried sueing him for $10 mill.

Lynne Cheney, Vice President Dick Cheney's wife, headed the group that argued on Capital Hill for Eminem to be banned in the United States. 💯

The chorus is actually Em"s childhood expressions, he takes us back when he was a kid. Em wants to say that he was always apologetic towards his mom, but she was cruel to him..

On the topic of his parents, “Leaving Heaven” is about his dad
