2021-02-22 06:09:32 +0000 UTCThis video still makes me feel uneasy. I remember hearing about Proof and the only thing I could think about was this video. Life imitating art in this instance.

2021-02-21 17:14:30 +0000 UTCAfter Bugz's death, Eminem volunteered as replacement to fulfill the group's forthcoming obligations. This led to Eminem eventually rejoining the group.
Thomas
2021-02-21 13:32:48 +0000 UTCEm was already going through a hard time.. now imagine, Em being Em, prob has some guilt because of this... like idk some self fulfilling prophecy type s***..

2021-02-21 07:03:54 +0000 UTCBugs was ems homie, used to be part of D12. He got replace by swifty when he died. Proof was playing bugz i think
Miguel Medina
2021-02-21 01:36:50 +0000 UTCHe didnt pick proof, proof wanted to do it cus the actor couldnt make it. Proof always had ems back and did anything he could to help him out in any way. Em feels like complete shit for letting him play that part cus he feels like hes the reason proof died
Miguel Medina
2021-02-21 01:35:31 +0000 UTCOn a side note.....I kissed my first girl to the Original Martika version of Toy soldiers. Just thought everyone should know
Justin Watson
2021-02-21 00:51:16 +0000 UTCAppreciate that one, sheeeit agreed I wonder how Em recieves this music clip considering the events taken place and if it may deter his thought process in anyway, Stephen King horror thriller material
BennyDAPZ
2021-02-21 00:17:53 +0000 UTCProof predicts his own death on 40 oz d12 song . He says something about beef in the club murder him there ...and that's exactly what happened.. you have to watch. Obie talk about proofs death it's really informative

Toni-Ann
2021-02-20 20:02:53 +0000 UTCIt was my favourite part of the day, for sure! It was a much needed relief after driving along 8-mile, swinging onto Dresden street and that local trailer park in the 8-mile movie. The moving feelings that came with that Historic Cemetery was much better than the feelings of fear that took over in those parts... it's definitely the most intimidating neighbourhood I've driven through😬😳
Toni-Ann
2021-02-20 19:10:27 +0000 UTCHe performed it at reading 17. If i remember rightly, he dedicated it to proof! Dont hold me to it though, i was fucked up🤦♂️
Caius Perry
2021-02-20 19:05:06 +0000 UTCBugz was one of the original D12 members who got killed over some silly fight. Em replaced him as the 6th member
Thomas
2021-02-20 18:48:14 +0000 UTCWow that is amazing. That must have been unbelievable to experience! I will definitely put that on my list of places to visit!!! Thank you so much for sharing. ❤️
ShadyTitania
2021-02-20 18:43:38 +0000 UTCSame. Last year I was in Detroit on business, took a day to check out Em's old hot spots and went to Woodlawn Cemetery. Proof's plaque is inside the chapel which is obviously reserved for Detroit's finest as the Hallway is lined in Marble plaques of other famous people like Rosa Parks and Matilda Dodge (I learned - one of the richest women in North America during that time:). The Chapel is beautiful and public access was easily granted via check in at the office - they give you a key!! So of course I went in, as I sat on the pew and took a minute to reflect on the day of Proof's funeral and what unfolded on the news, a heaviness took over and would be unavoidable for any Stan, as we know Proof was his friend, brother, father - his world. I don't know where you live, but if you ever get the chance to go to Woodlawn Cemetery, it's surprisingly beautiful, like a well preserved Historic Museum! I was extremely impressed with Woodlawn Cemetery and the Chapel, considering the neighbourhood. The place sits on 140 acres and the wealth that once thrived in that neighbourhood is still evident today, it's a remarkable landmark. Highly recommended for any Stan:)
Toni-Ann
2021-02-20 18:40:24 +0000 UTCI was all over this, and proofs death back when it happened and I had the same feeling bro. That was EM’s best friend his brother. I can’t imagine what he felt when proof really died. I’m sure he can’t watch that music video these days. But anyways Stevie can we get “talkin to myself” by Eminem it’s such a hood song.

ShadyTitania
2021-02-20 01:23:25 +0000 UTCBeen waiting for you to react to this song. This kills me every single time. So emotional and heartbreaking! It breaks my heart thinking about how Em must feel every time I hear the song especially the video knowing what happened to Proof after. So damn sad. I don’t watch the video because it’s so damn sad to think about. I’m watching now because of your reaction. Great, honest reaction, Stevie. 😢😢😢

2021-02-19 23:57:14 +0000 UTCI don't know if he's seen the video since Proof (I'm guessing not) but he does still sometimes perform 'Like Toy Soldiers' at his concerts and everytime he does he gets the crowd to chant for Proof, so he clearly connects this song to him
Midnight Musings
2021-02-19 23:15:30 +0000 UTCAnother perfect reaction, yes that is exactly how I felt when I found out Proof was killed and went back to watch Toy Soldiers again R.I.P

Devin McLain
2021-02-19 22:40:35 +0000 UTCHave you posted a reaction to My Dad's Gone Crazy?
Blake Crawford
2021-02-19 22:25:45 +0000 UTCSuges name is cut out in the uncensored version as well. It's because as he said he went his whole career without mentioning him, so with it purposely cut out then he still hasn't mentioned him.
ART
2021-02-19 22:20:47 +0000 UTCscary,i remember when proof got killed..his album searching for jerry garcia came out.. and that kurt kobain song on that album..we lost a real one.
cHankin87
2021-02-19 22:07:50 +0000 UTCYeah its fucking eerie as fuck and Ive always wondered if Em can listen to this song or watch the video. It must only add to the trauma.. The only good thing is Em was seriously heavy into drugs by this album so there is a really good chance he doesnt even remember this haha.. he has said he doesnt remember large chunks of this time period.. Sad as fuck. Proof died because of senseless violence in a bar fight but the similarities are still sad as fuck. The song itself is a pretty big sign of maturity from Em when you consider the run he was on before this with diss tracks haha
I swear I am getting off the internet soon
2021-02-19 22:07:42 +0000 UTCNot really? He is just a symbol of what could happen if the beef keeps escalating right? Although the death does mimic how Bugz died
I swear I am getting off the internet soon
2021-02-19 22:04:39 +0000 UTCWhy do they block out when he says I went my whole career without mentioning Suge?

2021-02-19 21:21:40 +0000 UTCWhat’s also eerie is that in the song 1 shot 2 shot, Proof was the only one not on that song because he was trying to distance himself from the club scene then he ended up shot near one
YoRHa M5
2021-02-19 21:12:30 +0000 UTCYep eerie is right man, I always felt the same about Biggies career. Ready to die, life after death plus the tracks talking about dying.

Joseph Astle
2021-02-19 21:10:14 +0000 UTCHaven't watched this video in a long long time because of that very reason, it never gets less sad or creepy, it's just chilling and heartbreaking to watch. I used to love this song but it stays off my catalogue. Your reaction was pretty much what I was expecting when I saw the title man. It's a tough watch.
lukeslayer
2021-02-19 21:08:42 +0000 UTCYeah, I remember thinking about this also when Suge went to jail after running those people over. That man is crazy, and if Em ever did get in the Dre beef I'm pretty sure it would've got worse.

Jeremy
2021-02-19 19:21:12 +0000 UTCToy soldiers 2004. Proof died 5/22/2006. I hear the scene at the hospital was almost identical but proof was DOA so if you hear the song arose, Eminem talks about “falling across his body not able to save him” so I imagine the pain he felt made him just collapsed on Proof, holding him and his heart literally breaking as he laid across Proofs body. Couple of nerdy kids that found each other growing up and proof took him under his wing. Gave him a place to stay when Ems mom kicked him out, gave him some New Nike shoes for schools, and really just loved Marshall for who he was. Proof had all the connections and knew that Marshall could battle with anyone. I can’t imagine losing my best friend over a fucking fight at the pool table, but Marshal said rumor was proof just whipped out his pistol and some shots were fired. Marshall knowing Proof as well as he did, said there was no way he just whipped out and started blasting because he would’ve fought first before shooting. I don’t think we know the whole truth to what went down but from what I know of proof and read about, he was for sure a guy who would’ve fought with his fist before a gun. When you got eminem as your best friend, you should have dudes around you with security detail so they can legally kill whoever is starting shit and keep your friends safe. You got the money there is no shame in having security detail that is armed and allowed to defend you. Don’t risk your life or your friends if people act stupid. Use your money to have professionals handle that for you. If he did, we would still have proof, and probably a few more fantastic hits, but the loss of Proof had put him in a bad place where the Percocet, Ambien, Clonazepam, Xanax, Etc. Had him doing way too many of those songs that are funny for one listen, but not legendary. RIP Proof, RIA drug addict Marshall, and Thank you Marshall and Yela for that Best Friend Verse. BEST VERSE BAR NONE! Think about all the greats we lost over stupid shit. Pac, Big, Proof, Jam Master J, Fat Pat, Big L, XXXTentacion, Nipsy Hustle, Smoke, King Von, Dolla, Big Hawk, and A stinger not murdered but Juice was legit a fucking huge star in the making. You don’t believe me, watch his Cipher on Sway. Stay alive guys, we can’t listen to the value to add to the game if you’re fighting with guns. Shit, do it old school and ask Dana White to give you the octagon for 20 mins. Take an ass whoopin, shake hands and swallow your pride. Nothing wrong with throwing hands to squash the beef and taking an L. I respect that much more than shooting someone. All you gotta do is pull the trigger. Toe that line with that same energy and you’ll get respect win or lose. Rickson Gracie was a man among children. He walked up and slapped a Dude on the beach like a bitch, let the man get squared up and beat that ass. Found out a Japanese fighter broke in his gym to fight him. Took his sons ten speed, taped his hands on the way with duct tape and fucked him up. He had the video in his house but hasn’t released it. How fucking hard is that?? One of the baddest men on the planet flys to Brazil, breaks in your gym to fight you, breaks his face, and won’t release the tape.

2021-02-19 19:14:33 +0000 UTCThis is one of those songs that is a time machine. Puts me right back in high school
D Rock
2021-02-19 19:08:49 +0000 UTCI don't know for sure but I'm guessing this may of been after Proof was jumped and the severity of the situation became real. I think Proof was portraying Bugz who was the 6th member of D-12
Patrick Watts
2021-02-19 19:04:11 +0000 UTCYeah no way Em can watch this video after what happened to Proof. Bugz was the 6th member of D12, he was shot and killed and then Em took his place in the group. Having his picture at the end was a way to show him love and say that they've already lost people like that. Btw, in the beginning of the song, when Em says "my intentions were good, I went through my whole career without ever mentionin-" it cuts off, even in the explicit version. The word that's cut is "Suge", you can tell cuz it matches the rhyme and he says it when performing this song in concert. Suge tried to get Em killed twice, according Em's ex-bodygaurd. Outta respect for Dre, Em never names or disses Suge in any released tracks. Great reaction Stevie!
DesertKate Walker
2021-02-19 18:59:48 +0000 UTCIdk if Eminem predicted it or his enemies just gave him what he admitted he feared most
tgood
2021-02-19 18:53:06 +0000 UTCThe whole point at the time was let’s put proof in this music video to get the point across I don’t want one of my people dying because of this beef shit especially proof. And one could argue that Eminem went in so hard on these fools they couldn’t beat him with the mic so they took it there, gave him his worst nightmare. There’s also the theory that he had a lot of pull and was making a lot of songs against the government. There’s also the theory it’s just Detroit and these things can happen. 🤷♂️
tgood
2021-02-19 18:49:49 +0000 UTCYea this shits fucking crazy. I’m sure em can’t watch this. I’m sure it haunts or haunted him

clinton stanton
2021-02-19 18:39:12 +0000 UTCAnother eerie/premonition song about Proof's death and it's impact on eminem is Proof - Kurt Cobain. I doubt that Eminem can even listen back to that song

2021-02-19 18:21:31 +0000 UTCWhen the words just don’t seem as important anymore and you realise everything he was laying his heart out to avoid happened anyway 😞😞 most honest reaction yet bro 💯
Colin Harris
2021-02-19 18:19:43 +0000 UTCI think it is one of those things like the way Biggie named his albums. The power of the tongue. You have to be careful what you say and what energy you put into thoughts.
Gene Geter
2021-02-19 18:12:03 +0000 UTCI watched this wanting to see your reaction, but I haven’t watched this video since Proof died or even listened to the song because it reminds me of the video, it’s just too sad.
Jenn paquette
2021-02-19 18:03:27 +0000 UTCAnd to think, Benzino comes out with a track right after this calling Em a coward for wanting to put an end to the all the beefing and possibility of loved ones dying over said beef. Yeah, nothing says "L" more than attacking someone right after they said "enough of this, too much blood is being spilled".
Herrzimm
2021-02-19 18:02:17 +0000 UTCIt’s just another chapter of his life and another reason fans/stans protect him as best we can. Dude has been there and back and people still attack him. It’s unfortunate.

2021-02-19 17:54:00 +0000 UTCCan you imagine what was going through his head. Video premiered 12/4/04 then Proof dies from gunshots 4/11/06. Pretty sure that fucked his head up bad and probably blames himself for jinxing his boys death
Greg Gizowski
2021-02-19 17:52:47 +0000 UTCBugz was the 6th member of the group but got into an argument in a park in Detroit, he was shot 3 times then ran over by a car. Bugz has a verse on a song/skit on D12’s album ‘D12 world’ called ‘Bugz 97’.
Dean Moy
2021-02-19 17:52:37 +0000 UTCMusic is so good when you know what’s going on in the artist’s life. Didn’t predict your reaction but it is indeed insane. Btw, bugs is a former D12 member that died before the release of their first album in the late 90’s.
Kostia
2021-02-19 17:51:57 +0000 UTCThe fact that his Uncle Ronnie, Uncle Todd & Proof all died from gun shot wounds is crazy AF. I understand Marshall Matters now, I can feel his pain. 😢

DC215
2021-02-19 17:44:29 +0000 UTCThe video is just Em foreshadowing what could happen to the people he loves if he continues these beefs with Ja rule and Benzino. The whole song is him saying I’m done with these beefs, I’m moving on before someone gets badly hurt. And so proof is just enacting what could happen if em doesn’t end the beefs. It was just a coincidence that a couple years later proof was really shot and killed. RIP.
