but look how polite he is! and patient with the kids, wow

[davidfilep]

“He is a rapper too, his name is Proof.”
Right in the feels.

[Majra]

The interviewer was super cool, he just gave him space to talk and just sort of hung out with him and wasn't condescending, I loved it.

God i miss the 90s. We were so much more down to earth, more chilled, more free 😢 we had issues but we found ways to make life better

[fionnmaccumhaillsmammy]

He’s a nice, decent guy. He did a great job of raising himself.

[unavailableuser]

There was a time Eminem could do interviews in parking lots with no security and drive himself around with an MTV reporter, un-harassed.

"one of my long time friends, he's a rapper too. His name's Proof"
Them fuckin' chills bro for real. R.I.P Big Proof.

[CuriousPug]

He's truly the definition of "started from the bottom and now he's there up at the top"

"One of my long time friends, DeShaun Holton. He's a rapper too. His name's Proof." Damn man ... RIP Proof!

[ijustme]

I hope the family who live at Eminem’s old house, realize that their house is part of the history of hip hop .

[pepijn]

Imagine Eminem knocking on the door of your house and not opening it because you didn't clean

[unknownalien]

the love and respect he's showing for those kids at the beginning, and the awe they show towards him, is just fantastic to see. They all appreciate each other

Little Kid: why you move
Eminem: I rap now 💀💀💀

[richarddecarlo]

When he said "cuz I rap now" instead of "cuz I'm rich now" when those little kids asked him why he dont live around there no more was perfect answer!!! Very few people have that quick insight to encourage instead of insult. Well done Em!!!

[lizfoster]

"Now that I look back on it, I kinda miss it."

Isn't that the truth. It's amazing how time can make you feel about certain times in your life.

[J.Dogg]

Man considering Em’s situation as a kid, and the fact that he had absolutely nothing really negative at all to say about his childhood/ childhood home, dudes earned massive respect

[JM-hlzz]

Imagine Eminem randomly knocks on your door, and wants to come inside. Man I wish.

[nickwilsonxc]

When Eminem knocks on your door, you let him in.

''They tried to shut me down on MTV but it feels so empty without me '
