Comments

Vern Troyer was on some reality show and he got drunk and pissed in the corner of the room. Also eminem backwards(Look at the spelling of his name backwards) Eminem [Meni me]

Charles D Adams

Also referencing when he lost to juice in the RAP olympics

Rodrig V

he already did it in the first eminem week on yt i think4

Nudelwixxx Junior

He was talking about is drug overdose

Jonathon Stafford

Mark no it’s def about the battle he lost against Juice

Tom Zoeter

Cinderella man

Anthony Carbonaro

I’m pretty sure he did that, it’s a little buried though

William Bolen

The song within itself is a time-lapse from when he came up from the very beginning all the way through battling to meeting Dre. It leads up to the Slim Shady LP. Listen to the song or read the lyrics but it's clear as day. Each verse talks about a certain time frame. Not recovery as a whole.. But the song itself... As a standalone track. It helps if you just look at the lyrics.

Alex Perez

Think you may be right in the way it’s open to interpretation as he’s done this plenty of times before, I’m just thinking of the fact it’s recovery and we all know he didn’t like his relapse album IMO I see that as the battle, I 100% see where your cmin from but I just can’t see a 2010 Eminem thinking back about that one battle, just seems out of context with the album “Recovery” ya know what I mean? I may be wrong but I like the fact I might be because it’s just another thing EM has me thinking about 🤣

Mark

I'm not arguing, but why would he be talking about a rap battle he lost in 97'? There's no context for that at all imo. But since it's the recovery album and he speaks about being sober and the OD in a bunch of tracks, that makes way more sense to me to be talking about his battle with addiction.

I'm back for revenge I LOST A BATTLE AND THAT AIN'T HAPPENING AGAIN I'm at your throat like strep I step, strapped with a pen Metaphors wrote on my hand, some are just stored in my memory, Some are wrote on a napkin; I do what I have to to win.... He's talking about battling and the only documented battle he lost was with juice. We can all agree to disagree. Maybe it's just left open to interpretation because there's a million things it could mean and only he would truly know.

Alex Perez

The lost battle is the one he lost to Juice on rap olympics right before getting recognized by Dre. Idk why everyone is referring to drug battle and Relapse. That was way later, this is a timeline song of him on his grind to become famous right before signing with Dre.

Aydin Shahtakhtinskiy

It's exactly about losing to Juice. Those verses (until the last verse) are him describing the times before he got recognized by Dre. It's a timeline song, from almost famous during his grind around Infinite, battling, and Slim Shady EP to becoming finally famous after signing with Dre. Hence, the drug battle is not relevant here. That was later.

Aydin Shahtakhtinskiy

No, those verses were about him before getting recognized by Dre. He lost a battle to Juice on the rap olympics right before that.

Aydin Shahtakhtinskiy

Just got here. My first/only request is "Be careful what you wish for" Em

Zach Young

It’s not about that I don’t think, the battle he’s saying he lost is about him overdosing and being high throughout his last album relapse, he references it throughout recovery, and at the stage recovery came out he was sober and you can tell the difference, he says himself in interviews that he hates relapse because of all the accents he was putting on just to make words rhyme

Mark

When he is talking about "losing the battle" I'm assuming he's talking about his overdose, and now that he's sober that will never happen again.

dennis pugh

Youll enjoy 2.0 boys stevie trust me https://youtu.be/LNhwR6QJCls

I swear I am getting off the internet soon

FINALLY 🔥

Tom Zoeter

Please react to Eminem “WANKSTA” 🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾

King_honey

I have never heard of this, but I know that Proof had a solo album ready to be released when he passed

Lone

Stevie do “talkin to myself” it’s a song from the same album as this song. It’s fire and he talks about a lot of rappers even lil Wayne check it out bro

Michael manchester

Say Goodbye Hollywood next !!

Laz

I am sorry to hear about your friend. We would all like to hear that but unfortunately I think it is not true unless em is stocking up material for after his own passing

Mike

He's saying he lost his battle back when he was still going to rap battles. The one he is referring to is the one against Mc Juice. That's where he got got second place at the rap Olympics in 1997

Alex Perez

Unfortunately my friend passed away so can't ask him. From what I remember he said he heard it from an interview with Proof back before Proof passed. Apparently he was talking about an album dropping with Eminem that would show the world lyricism and wordplay like never before seen. Again I don’t personally know as I have never found anything myself. But. Mean going by timeline that interview orwhatever would have needed to be very early 2006 or in late 2005 I would guess. It could have just been a joke or something on his but however I certainly wish it wasn't. If such a project is tucked away somewhere I would love to hear it. But yeah I guess only Em knows. Thank you for answering me

Dyldonious

Cold wind blows is first if I’m not mistaken. Which Stevie has done

Mike

I have never heard of that and I’ve been listening to em since sslp. How would your friend know this? I dont think it real even tho idk y they wouldn’t do that since they were best friends

Mike

This might be lost but the distorted memory line is wrong. It’s thought in the memory. So what he is saying is his rhymes some he wrote on a napkin, some he thought of and some he wrote on his hand. It goes back to the previous line of him being strapped with a pen. He is saying that no matter what his arsenal is always loaded. The lost thing he is referring to is the fact that this came out after relapse. And a CD was canceled, relapse 2 which just ended up being a bonus disk with a few select songs, because of the straight back lash he got from Relapse. This was also after a fairly long hiatus where he was out of the game. So he is saying in a lot of recovery songs that he still has it, Talking 2 Myself is another one I highly recommend. This whole album was about him refinding his voice in rap. Where he felt like he lost it after his drug abuse and this was him stepping up and reminding himself he’s still the shit. I regret that you found On Fire the way you did. To me that song is just him working out his pen. First song on Recovery, or one of the first and he grows through the album but he has a lot of shit on his mind.

William Bolen

This is off the recovery album he did after he almost over dosed. I just saw your reaction to Buffalo Bill which was on the relapse album before this one when he was high all the time so you can get a good comparison of his mental state with those albums Stevie. Love the work you do man. Keep up the great work!

William Johnson

Hello to all, I am a new patreon. Have been following Stevie on YouTube for over a year now. I need to get some knowledge from the Eminem fans. I myself was introduced to rap about 15 years ago by Eminem and and loved it since I am 27 now. I was told by a close friend of mine about 10 years or so ago that Eminem has a full album recorded with him and proof on every song that has never been released. From what I hear said album is a masterpiece however since Proof passed away Eminem did not feel right to release it. Does anyone know if this is true?

Dyldonious

This is on recovery album, his rhymes aren’t that complex on this album it’s waaay different from relapse from the year before, relapse is a cadence/flow/horrorcore/shock value album

Mike

Wow I JUST caught that challenger space shuttle bar a decade later lol I thought I pretty much caught everything he said

Mike

Verne Troyer (mini-me) got naked and pissed in the corner of a show set. It was sober house or surreal life or some MTV shit

John Saunders

I’m trying to get that infinite review

Michael Jiles

"When you saw the chainsaw get to waving Like a terrible towel" he is connecting terrible towel to Ben Roethlisberge. Pittsburgh Steelers fans wave terrible towels in celebration at games.

Jason S Rogers

Its from Recovery

Noah Olson

Stevie. "Ya'll are Eminem backwards, you're menimes" - Spell eminem backwards.

matson

This is off the 8 mile album, right? I remember digging that one heavy.

Fierce Gaze

SK, you missed it! EMINEM spelled backwards is MENIME(Mini Me)

Gabriel Glover

Also we as americans..the other bonus song

Eric Bagetis

That's a good one that no one every talks about

Bryce

He failed 9th grade 3 times, then dropped out is connected to that line ast the end

EnVy316LeGeNd

Eminem -If I Get Lock Up

Nelfy L

"take me back to 9th grade and school me!" Eminem failed the 9th grade twice and then dropped out.. but yet, still has the best vocabulary in the game!

Mister Lou

Why did I just realize that Mike Meyers is the name of the actor that plays Austin Powers. lol

Jimmy McMinn

Almost lost the “battle” w drugs and it isn’t happening again

Frankie Rivas

Great song. At the beginning when he said "he lost, that ain't happening again"...he was referencing losing that battle to Juice right before hooking up with Dre.

Robert Crowley

Maybe I ain't seen it yet but Stevie do a vs Em VS Redman " Off The Wall "

Jason Lawson

He lost the battle to juice in the 97’ Rap olympics. He came off stage and a guy from Interscope approached him and asked him for his album. Rest is history

Jeremy

Stevie needs to react to eminem if i get locked up tonight. He probably won't like the chorus but the bars he will enjoy i think

Jake Donovan

Love the song but when’s the next coming from The Eminem Show album review?

Benjamin Stanley

Love it. Please do more from recovery! Until MTBMB side B came out recovery was my absolute favorite eminem album.

Jenn paquette

Beef_Stu
