How would Eminems life be if Proof never died?

[Amaranthine]

Seriously, do you get any enjoyment out of anything?

Seriously, do you get any enjoyment out of anything?

Yeah, good (G.O.O.D. ) music.

@FreeSpeech, do think NIP is a great song?

For parties and the car yeah it's amazing. It's a great pump up song, catchy as hell, and balls out. And very well produced. And it fit the celebratory theme of the album very well.

If you expect it to say something deep, then no.

[ImHungry]

Are you being serious?

100%. Shit like Yellow Brick Road, Toy Soldiers, Mosh, and We As Americans shits on Recovery and BME.

These kids are fucking stupid, eh?

[FreeSpeech]

Well, then your opinion is no longer valid.

I'd rather listen to Souljaboy than that shitty song, I honestly dislike it very bad I feel like choking whenever someone plays it.
Everything from the beat to the lyrics is a big fail.

LOL dude do you even go out and have fun? Party at all? The whole country loves this song. For what it is it's fantastic. It's a balling song. Listen to it before I go ball or drink. Lighten up and live. I don't sit in a party like "these lyrics are really subpar to my favorite backpack rapper"

nerd ass nigga

GTC is the best song on Recovery IMO - musically and artistically.

Generic piano/guitar beat with boring drums and an Ozzy sample that doesn't even fit with the beat and kills the tempo every time it comes on? Musically it is incredibly forgettable and mediocre.

Its only redeeming quality is the nice lyrics, and they aren't even great. I skip it whenever I listen to Recover.

Seriously, how can you listen to it and think it's musically great? Get outta here...

The use of this Ozzy sample in chorus and beat is just PERFECT. I think they couldn't choose better song for Eminem to lay these great verses talking about his road to recovery, the song which is too private for him to do it live, the song which is too good to not to be called a MASTERPIECE.

[FreeSpeech]

LOL, dude. Don't talk about having fun and partying.
You've been here more than me the past week, day and night.
It's an okay song if you're in a club or something, but definitely not a song I would bump in a car.
And what country? I'm from Jordan man!

You listen to this song before going balling? How's that possible? LOL!
Nerd? Is being well educated and caring such a nerdy thing?
I don't party that much because my Uni is a one hour drive, so I don't get the chance to hang out with friends that much. I don't like to explain myself or make excuses, i'm happy with my life, got a girlfriend and my brother's getting married on the 20th of June, gonna definitely throw him a party when I get back home. I often listen to TIC or something motivational before doing something, I don't know how listening to NIP gonna set you in the right mood tbh.

I'm at my grandma's house for a week helping her move haha I haven't been on TR in months.

I'm from America, AKA the "tastemakers" of hiphop. Over here, NIP is a huge party song.

And you don't listen to music before working out or playing ball?

It's an ill song about just balling out. Maybe black people like it more than arabs or whatever, IDK.

Em would be dead.

Yeah, this.

He never woulda got clean and he would've died.

But he didn't get clean. He relapsed and then got clean. There's a big difference: especially considering that he had kids. With this in mind, are we to believe that because Proof was alive he'd have been even more reckless after he relapsed? It's a loose suggestion by all means.

Proof's death taught him important lessons in life, but it's purely hypothetical whether he alone was responsible for giving Em the fighting power to come through and get sober.

[FreeSpeech]

I already said I listen to TIC or something motivational, you know...To get me focused on the game.

You do that. And I'll listen to NIP and ball outrageous while alphabet boys got me under surveillance.

[infinite2hts]

Going Through Changes is musically INCREDIBLY mediocre.

Going Through Changes + Deja Vu > Kanye West's Discography.

On Topic: Dont think Em would've died though. but we would have definately got a D12 Album.

[kiki]

I think he'd still be using, probably he would be dead.

It's almost like something good came out of Proof dying - Em got his shit together.

I'm from America, AKA the "tastemakers" of hiphop. Over here, NIP is a huge party song.

Are you aware of the FACT that many commercial "hip hop" songs (meaning songs by hip hop artists) are influenced by what's big in Europe right now?

Snoop Dogg - Sweat
Anything Florida (pun intended)
Any recent Chris Brown
even Black eyed Peas

Basically they all worked with David Guetta if you heard of him?

They're not "tastemakers" - if anything they sold out for real with that Guetta shit.

Yet you won't see Eminem rapping on a techno beat...because nobody listens to techno.

[_Hawk_]

Yeah, this.

He never woulda got clean and he would've died.

But he didn't get clean. He relapsed and then got clean. There's a big difference: especially considering that he had kids. With this in mind, are we to believe that because Proof was alive he'd have been even more reckless after he relapsed? It's a loose suggestion by all means.

Proof's death taught him important lessons in life, but it's purely hypothetical whether he alone was responsible for giving Em the fighting power to come through and get sober.

Em overdosed in the first place because he died. This eventually led to him getting clean.

Em woulda stayed as a zombie if he didn't die.

Proof's death catalysed his O/D. It didn't lead to it: he was already on that path.

[BigBoss]

He wouldn't have died probably... A BIG thing that got Em into overdosing was trying to cope with Proofs death, if he didn't die then he'd probably either be the same way or he would've grown up.

[BigBangBazinga]

We probably would have a HQ version of Ballin Uncontrollably.

[Trimss]

This gets me thinking, what what Proof's life be like if it was Em who died and Proof who stayed alive?

BTW, what song is NIP?

[BigBoss]

We probably would have a HQ version of Ballin Uncontrollably.

Oh god the memories
