This song is also PRODUCED by Eminem. Fun fact: the following is an annotation Em himself put on his Genius lyrics for this song. ''This is where I was dealing with critics who didn’t understand why people were identifying with me. I realized I was becoming like the rappers that I looked up to as a kid. I identified with and loved LL Cool J and the Beastie Boys. I felt like if everybody didn’t understand their music, it didn’t matter - they were speaking to me. So that’s what I was trying to make people realize on this track. I may not be shit to you, but there’s a kid in fucking Nebraska, or somewhere, that I’m talking to. I don’t care if you’re listening, because he’s listening. That’s who I’m directing my material at.''

Kim deserves much credit in this herself too as eminem has stated in recent interviews. She had plenty of issues too but still raised a well adjusted child. Kim actually had the majority of parental authority for most of Hailies childhood. Hailie lived with Kim in their own home in detroit for 90% of her childhood. Eminem had court appointed authority to have her during the weekends but apparently (this is attested to by Kim and eminem himself later confirmed this) he would just lay in bed knocked out all day and never even pay attention to her and the maid would take care of her the whole time. The official court records even state that Hailie cried and begged to not have to go and stay at Ems home for the weekends anymore and that she hated going there because he was always in bed. This is during eminems active drug addiction years (2003-2008), he was always knocked out on opiate drugs and stayed in bed. Thankfully he got clean from the painkiller drugs in 2009 and was able to be a loving and attentive father again after that.

Still, I never gave a thought to Kim's true role in Hailie's upbringing. I always tell my kids I am not proud of them for what they achieve in life, like so many parents are. I don't tie my pride in my children to their accomplishments. Some people value friends, family, or even personal pursuits like perhaps art and such, over ambition and will gladly work a low paying job to be home for the kids or others things.. I am proud of them for being well-adjusted, decent, and kind people. I am happy for them when they achieve their goals. My daughter works as a home health aide and wants nothing more than to be a good mother to her daughter. She has achieved her biggest goal in life, overcoming the incredible risk of grand mal seizures causing her to miscarry. She has a healthy little girl and is extremely happy in life. My son works as a flagger for a road construction company and games online on his time off. Some parents would push him to do more but he is very happy and is a tremendous support to others around him, something I personally value. Kim raising Hallie to be such a person speaks volumes about her as a parent. Thank you again for bringing me to this view of her.

i was 15 when this song came out... still hits

16:16-22:23 That ending of that 3rd verse is amazing and the comments you made after is exactly why a lot of us around the world are fans of Eminem music.💪🏽

I remember my uncle would always shout at me telling me that I will go crazy rapping to Eminem's songs. 13 years later and now he listens to him🙆🏾‍♂️

I've been waiting for this one. This is my absolute favorite Eminem track of all time.

This is my favourite Em track, timeless, motivating, introspecting, banger

The lines "or for anyone who's ever been through shit in they lives, so they sit and they cry at night wishing they die. Till they throw in a rap record and they sit in a vibe." I think I was in 4th grade when this song came out and that was the first time Eminem, (shit a song in general) made me tear up. Because for the first time in my life I felt like somebody understood what I felt at the time.

Eminem between 97 and 2002 was possibly the greatest artist to ever exist in any genre. If anyone knew the amount incredible songs this man has written..I love this song the 3rd verse so perfectly describes what music is to people that love it..especially rap. People resonate with others pain. Pain shared feels halved. It's the beauty of life and someone who's craft is solely dedicated to expression.

I remember when Stevie started reacting to Em’s newer stuff first and didn’t know what a lot of the references were about. Cool to see him slowly Stan out even if he probably won’t admit that he is 😂

I remember 16 years ago listening to this for the first time. That made me a fan. I was one of those kids in a religious household that didn't allow me to swear. Fit like a glove.

This song does something to my soul everytime I hear this!

This song helped me recover from my painkiller addiction. Listened to it non stop with my headphones while I was ill lying in my bed! Brilliant motivational song that spoke to me x

Honestly one of his top 5 verses was in this song. When he’s talking about “how the f did this metamorphosis happen, from standing on corners and porches just rappin” That entire verse is crazy good and deep on so many levels. Plus who can rhyme metamorphosis

Never been so fast! His best song imo!

React to Toy Soldiers? - and the video too it. Love your reactions and how you break down the bars. Yeah been a fan since 1999-ish they tried to ban him from coming to UK at one point, it didn't work back in 2001 but they still banned him from performing at HYDE Park just a couple years ago. He's faced and overcome so much and is a great artist all round. As big and successful as he is he's still somehow underrated and misunderstood completely.

This song changed my life, it helped me through dark times in my teens, now at 33 I look back and im thankful Eminem came along, he helped a whole generation of us adults who were kids at one time with the world on our shoulders

I still remember when I was a teenager and I secretly got this cd. My father came home from work and heard it in my room, walked in....grabbed my cd and snapped it in half. Told me there is no way I could listen to this. I am not 35 years old and I own all his albums....Dad couldnt stop it.

If you listen to this whole album he was so on point with his rhyme schemes it seems like he would rhyme whole sentences or multiple words in every sentence... Not just this song but every song on this album, Also with content and flawless ability to ride the beat. A true artist at his craft
