  • who rly gives a muther fuck about wut this is about, its a great fuckin song so either listen 2 it or stay the fuck away seriously

  • @patriots8001 Okay you're obviously an atheist so keep your fucking opinion to your self.

  • This is a description of one of his dreams. When u join the illuminati you have many dreams wher the devil.is trying to convince u to.stay that is wat this is about

  • Origami no ones gonna fold you like i do

  • Origami no ones ginna fold you like i do

  • the voice calls him slim and marshall. So how can it be slim talking to marshall?? just wondering

  • Eminem joined illuminati for his daughter. He loved her so much he gave his soul for her. Now he's trying to leave but he can't. He's already made a deal with the devil.

  • @dinuba1994 To respond to your third point, both em and the demonic voice were saying the same lines, which leads me to believe the voice is in his head. He's talking to the mirror. He talking to himself.

  • So many fucking stans. Ok, morons, let me clear this up. Eminem is talking about the industry as the "devil," he uses personification to enhance the imagery of the song. Also, he is metaphorically referencing "666," "selling your soul," etc., to furthermore explain and describe how the fame, money, and success of the industry have control over an artist, much like the cult of "devil worshippers" has with their members. It's a fucking metaphor. Illuminati is not real.

  • @patriots8001 Really? Seriously, how can anyone not get the point of this song? It's not about the devil in a literal sense, it's not about illuminati (which you're right, does NOT exist), the song is about exactly what he says it's about. Addiction. The voice in his head is his addiction to drugs, not anything else. Stop trying to dig for shit that's not there and just listen to the song.

  • 4:06 "You sold your soul to me..."

  • It was the devil Eminem said he said he did sell his soul to become famous

  • the demonic voice was slim shady.  not the devil

  • @bovoids Yes it was Eminem sold his soul to become famous

  • Point 3,Listen To The Last Part You Hear The Deep Voice(Demonic Voice) And Shadys Voice Too So CLEARLY He Wasn't Talking To Shady The Whole Time He Was Talking To Someone Else

  • i Think Some Of You Are Missing The Point .the Verse"You Cant Kill At Spirit Even If Your Tired To Haha,You Sold Your Soul To Me, Need I Remind You?You Remember That Night You, Prayed To God You'd Give Anything To Get Record Deal" point One.You Cant Sell Your Soul To Your Own Personality (so The Whole Thought Of Him Talking To Shady Is Eliminated)

    Point 2,He Prayed To God. But To Him God Didn't Give Him What He Wanted So He Sold His Soul For What He wanted.

  • Idk..i think that the illuminati is like a government based organization that gives you fame and fortune if you selll your soul to the devil...they also worship the devil and have killed many celebrities and music stars when they refused

  • And I guess there's no point in him going to church no more huh XD

  • He can't get rid of shady, which is what shady told him XD, shady is him!

  • @damititsbad080 lemme also point out that after he stopped dying his hair and shit people started to say he was falling off with his skills and saying they want the old shady back. I felt like he wanted get rid of that image but he couldn't be successful without it. the mirror says "isn't that us on that poster." which i took to mean slim shady and marshall (same physical vessel). Also towards the end you here both the satanic voice and em's together, meaning the satanic voice is in his head

  • @damitsbad080 you have a point there. He very well maybe talking about an actual devil. theres a lot of evidence that he is/was an illuminati puppet. so he may want out but can't due to fear for his and his family's safety. I always viewed it as him talking to himself, kinda like a fight between the good and evil sides of his conscious. But like I said, it's open to interpretation

  • To people who are questioning the 666 thing. the illuminati/masons/devil worshippers, whatever u wanna call them believe in numerology. in numerology you take each individual digit in a number and add them together. he talks about selling your soul for the rap game and it goes 123, 123, 123. 1+2+3=6. so 666

  • My darling V.S. 25 to life

    3am V.S. Not afraid

    ILLuminati V.S. Freedom

    compare the songs

  • I know wat the songs about but wat an unusual peace

  • Illuminati = Freemasons

  • Illuminati isn't even called illuminati. It's called something else. "illuminati" is a name of some Catholic group waaayyyy long ago. So shows how much you know. Illuminati isnt real.

  • Eminem Have Once Sell His Soul to The Devil..

    It May Sound Weird But its True...

    He Now isn't Working For the Devil.....

    In this Song he is Just Explaining His Feelings With his Fans And telling the Way the Devil Used to Haunt him.....

    U can Also Get These Kind of lyrics In his last 2 Albums Relapse Nd Recovery...

    Not Afraid nd Beautiful r Some Examples........

  • People u can't take this any way u like but in the end only eminem knows wut he's talking about.

  • @ZombifyIt O shit yur right!

  • This song ia not about him praising the devil

  • This is about his battle with drugs and getting a away from being slim shady

  • @ace364isabeast see now he's got it 

  • Killuminati baby!!!

  • It clearly says sell yo soul to this rap game nd it goes 666. And he got other songs where he says it but now he's not

  • that 3rd verse was crazy

  • This is about his battle with drugs and slim shady. Not the illuminati.

  • illuminati is when the devil takes ur soul when you die right?????

    and when the devil makes u famous but takes ur soul when you die right

    please tell MEEEEEEEEEEE

  • the devil being the industry

  • Luuuuv this sung

  • Meh.

  • This is about wat eminem feels

    He is controled by the devil

  • @qwerasdfzxcv34ify People like you need to shut the fuck up and stop assuming that anything that doesn't endorse religion belongs to the Illuminati.

  • Put the gun down

  • The "devil" is the industry.

  • SO many mistakes in this ... -_-

  • @estigiatnplaka1 it means kill illuminati

  • @Estigiatnplaka1 it means kill illuminati

  • i know what illuminati is..but i don't know what is killuminati..someone to explain it to me? pls

  • Sigmund Freud thought of this concept couple hundred years ago (around). It's nothing new. We all have an ID, an alter-ego. It comes out when we are overly mad, sad, etc., something, sometimes we theoretically can't control. That's what Em is trying to explain. He just may have not known his fore-fathers concept of it, or maybe he did, not the point. But I can't stress this enough, IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ANY IMAGINARY ILLUMINATI GROUP. It's psych 101, don't over-analyze it...

  • It sounds like the deep voice could be the rap game and how it takes o er his life, possessing him like a spirit

  • 666 y wuld he put that if he is not talking bout ill n listen to no mercy by ti he n a church n says am i the second coming of pac n he says all the care about is money

  • @G4MINGFORUS It's really hard to understand what you are trying to print, as half your words, are not English words. Are you claiming that because he says 1-2-3 twice that's the 666 you're talking about (cuz no musical artist ever counted before lol), and where does he say he's the second coming of tupac??

  • He uses clear hidden messages, or he'll end up dead, they always do it in 3s

  • fuck yeah, eminem!XD

    he's not my favourate artist in the world but he's still awsome!

  • Don't believe in a Devil? Play with a Ouija Board the wrong way. Em knows what he's talkin about.

  • We all killuminatis are with u eminem! We stand by u!

  • He's not in illuminati you dipshits , this is what he felt like on drugs . They "posessed" him . Now he's clean you damn idiots . Get real you all probably done know shit about the illuminati anyways ! IT'S FAKE .

  • Eminem was never in illuminati ! That shits fake . Just a cult .

  • Ok first Eminem used to be illuminati but he left with the song Not Afraid he's out now.

  • Even if he is illuminati I don't like it but he'll he is straight up with it he don't need hidden messages

  • Eminem is a illuminati he even said it ppl are just in denial !:/

  • @loulouflo2516 Was***

  • k eminem is not illuminati he is just making a song.

  • Emem is not possessed he just sold his soul to illuminati for fame like dre Drake mj and nikki minaj

  • 123-123-123 = 666

    KILLUMINATI.

  • @ZombifyIt That Aint Three Sixes Foo -.-

  • @ezoke1

    Yes it is, 1+2+3 = 6

    He says it 3 times.

    Why the fuck would he say that?

    you end up with 666.

  • @ZombifyIt 666 is the devil ;) but still, he is not talking to the devil, he is talking to slim shady. in fact, i don't know why he is sayin it, gues i am retarded.

  • The top comment is retarded. Thumbs this up please so it can be the top comment, so everyone can laugh that i just called my own comment retarded.

  • Go to 2:37 and listen. The end part to that is "Because i love you, look a little closer isn't that us on that poster? haha?"

  • I how people spend like 6 minutes on a video talking about illuminati BS and suddenly are experts.

  • he's possessed! idc! its true and i have facts! xDDD

  • Ya man i agree with justinmeyer8, hes talkin to slim shady, which in a way is like his own personal devil. listin to the slim shady EP (not LP) and he does a similar thing where hes marshall and hes talkin to slim in the mirror. so FUCK OFF Smokinphantom71. I don't like gettin aggressive but i hate people like you who think you know everything like its a fact. Its open to interpretation and everyone has a right to their opinion. peace

  • @somedude5116 I agree. Im Em wanted people to know exactly what it was about he would have said it. He made it to be able to be view as many different things for a reason. Cause hes a genious C:

  • @somedude5116 NO, it's not shady, because he says "shady I know you're in there" so he can't be shady if his talking to shady.

  • @somedude5116 He sold his soul to devil... He left the Illuminati and now speaking against them...

  • Believe watever the hell you want but dont flame war over it on youtube just shut the fuck up and enjoy the awesome ass song

  • This might not be his most popular or best song, but these are definately the craziest (in a good way) lyrics he's ever come up with

  • Also, the "devil" says dye his hair. Why the hell would he throw that in there, hmm? No, I agree with some of you, I think he's trying to move on from his Shady persona and grow lyrically and mature.

  • And btw, if you believe in the devil, then you also believe in revelations. God beat the devil a looong time ago fuckwads, naive lil kids these days.

  • @MultiYadada You are naive and you talk non sense and stupid,the evil cannot be killed,and devil will always exist

  • @TheRageFury I talk "nonsense and stupid"?? Learn English before you come at me bro. BUT yes, if you believe in the devil, then by extension you MUST believe in God, because they go hand in hand (after all, they both are derived from the Bible, yeah?). So, no it's not naive, it's logical. And if you actually listen/read the lyrics, they're discussing Slim Shady smh.

  • @MultiYadada Here go another child who dont know how to argue and what to do,finding grammar mistakes,good for you,I dont care about proper grammar on some uselles web site.This song can be understand in many ways,fighting drugs,fighting slim shady,or illuminati,or something else.Its not relate with bible in any way.So grow up

  • @TheRageFury HA, useless site and yet you're on it?? You're pathetic bro, paaaaaathetic. And yeah, it can be taken a lot of ways, I think that's the way Em wanted it. I'm pretty sure he loves mindfuckin people like you. So grow up.

  • @MultiYadada Ignored,reason-low intelligence

  • @TheRageFury I fail to find a fuck to give, good day sir.

  • You punks seriously believe in this illuminati shit?? Jeeeeeesus.

    I personally think he's talking to his personal demons (drugs). Just listen to the goddamn lyrics and enjoy, fack.

  • All you guys are soo dumb...... Thiz song obviously refers to the illuminati! When the devil says i took ur bestfriends ur wife znd ur kids to..... It means he tryed to leave illuminati but as he tryed they screwed his life over! His bestfriend proof dident die because he shot someone first and someone else shot him back! Illuminati member shot him up! And he keeps grying to forget and get rifd og the devil but he cant cuz he sold his soul!

  • Illuminati!

  • I just noticed... 1+2+3= 6

    He refers to the Devil's number by saying it three times O.O

  • He is good

  • illuminati isn't an organization anymore. its a belief, a concept, a system. if you believe in a new world order believe that theirs is one god it don't matter who it is or what he does, the congratulations your from the illuminati.

  • Oh my god, just injoy the song. :L

  • "selling his soul" means he signed a contract to be a rap artist its what all rapist say when they sign a record contract.

  • This song isn't about the devil, it's about fighting your own ego in your head that always craves more & more, but eventually causes your own self-destruction. It's also about feeling hatred toward the record industry that whores him out & makes him lose his life, although he's addicted to the stardom...but he wishes it was like a switch he could turn off instead of always being on.

  • @devilsgrin6 it actually is about the devil. THe devil always represents evil, some struggle that is getting in the way from you being in peace.

  • @freest2dogg I understand that figuratively he is talking about "the devil," whether it's the recording industry or his own personal "demons," but I think Eminem misunderstands his suffering. His real battle is against himself & his desire for his ego to be selfish. He has talked about this before, saying how he knows he's an egomaniac. I know people are deeply religious, but someday we need to wake up & be a bit more realistic about what is really going on in the world.

  • @devilsgrin6 you sound like a smart ass. Haha you remind me of me when i was younger. Buddy i hate religion its just tradition that stops the human from keeping an open mind. You are tought to view god how man wants you to see it. I believe in god and i believe in the bible. When you start really finding out about Jesus you find out science and the spiritual go hand in hand and their not so different after all.

  • @freest2dogg Yeah, I agree. I have just found in my life that it's really ego that divides people & each religion becomes an ego. I learned that Christianity/Jesus was just one religion & from one part of the world during a certain time period & there are 1000's of other religions. So I see them as all part of God. I see the whole universe as God, that is my belief. (even the "dark," not just the light) I think people aren't "evil," just selfish because of ego...which craves power.

  • @freest2dogg A lot of Christians I've seen in my life try to convert everything to Christianity instead of loving everything for what it is. If there is really ever to be "one body" then Christianity needs to be more honest/open & start breaking down some walls. I've known simple animals such as dogs that have loved better than my Christian friends. If people could get over their own personal beliefs, I think people could see that God was love itself. Love judges all in the end. Peace.

  • @devi well idc abour christians. I don't mean the people i mean the title christian. We were given the name christian because people made fun of us trying to be like christ so thats how christian became. BUt a true follower of christ does everything for love. My advice is don't be afraid to look crazy in secret read the book of john in the bible and if you have a little bit of faith ask christ to reveal himself to you. ANd accept him as your lord and savior. Its your choice. bye

  • SKRUFdhk harsh.

  • the illuminati? someone should shoot you for being so fucking retarded.

    

  • i still think its about paul wall being dope!!!

  • he cant be arguing with shady because the deep voice calls him shady -_-

  • DCLXVI

  • I cant explain what eminem has but. He sure can rap like nobody else can.

  • haha people still thinking about him fighting his self, get your asses exploded right now

  • awesome works

  • Im not in the Mirror im inside you ;)

  • correction at 0:47 Its "do donuts" not "you dont"

  • No the devil dosnt have are soul..only emeinems. V

  • I believe he did sell his soul to the devil/illuminati. How else do you got double platinum....Illuminati is ran by Satan. And he admits what he did clearly in the song. John todd said that the spells the occult puts on records is in the music not the lyrics. And also the devil already has our souls because we listen and love eminem.

  • the point of this song is em fighting his own devil slim shady te one that made him famous if you think back what was his first major single my name is slim and em are two different rappers i know they are the same person if you listen to when im gone is about hm killin shady and raising his girls this song is shady comin back tellin em he cant kill him "i had you beat no i was playin possom remember i let you watch your little girls blossom" marshell mathers is the best lyricst hands down

  • Guyz, you are totally missing the point. This song is saying that Paul Wall is Dope!

  • @silentyak cant tell if your trolling or just stupid

  • @itsmeyouknow1000 Wow. you actually took that seriously? good luck in life

  • @silentyak im going good a life so i dont need your luck

  • He is clearly talking to the devil

    ,,, ALL shady is is a bottle of hair bleach and vodka

    so eminem sold his soul to a bottle of hair bleach and vodka this sums it all up. no argument

  • @purplecheeseball thts bullcrap dude in case you didnt know there r more songs tht say he is u just need to listen and the time of ur b day means u r going to hell

  • Has anyone notice that when he says 123 3 times it adds up too 666 thats scary shit

  • @anlodouglas09 Actually, no. No one knew that until you just said it. -.-

  • EMINEM IS FIGHTING WITH THE DEVIL IN THIS SONG YOU FUCKHEADS. LISTEN TO RAINMAN WHERE EMINEM SAYS HES POSSESSED AND HE NEEDS HELP!!! WHAT OTHER PROOF DO YOU NEED U DUMBFUCKS??

  • @Smokinphantom71 ur right

  • @Smokinphantom71 its about the illuminati and the devil

  • @Smokinphantom71 show how big of a "dumbfuck" you are.

  • Ugh....you guys know that he's not illuminati. in his song so bad, he says 123 3 times, big woop. I was born 6-6 at 6:06 but that doesn't mean ive been touched by the devil or whatever. U know the spirit is his alter ego. not the devil....u guys must be bone stupid not to realize this. sold yhour soul FOR me? Not to me. Selliong your soul to this rap game? Not to the devil. What the hell is wrong with you! Im a christian and stuff and so is em! DEAL WITH IT!

  • @purplecheeseball Dude if you're a christian you really need to open your eyes. You are the one being decieved. Matthe 7:14- "You can identify them by their fruit, that is, by the way they act. Can you pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles?" What good fruit do you see Em producing? Even if he is a christian his lifestyle shows the exact opposite. Even if this song isn't about a spiritual battle (which it definitely is) he's still dealing with the Devil by living the way he is.

  • @karimbelle Yeah, but anybody believing that 2000 year old B.S. is kind-of blind to begin with. It's 2012 & we're still believing the devil/demons are controlling people? Are you guys serious? It's time to get real & understand what's really going on in the universe.

  • @devilsgrin6 you know buddy atheists have always existed. atheist didn't emerge from the 1770's. scientist always existed. just because they didn't had technology and weren't industrial doesn't mean that people were stupid enough to fall for something with out proof. people already did algebra, had certain medicines, study the constellations. What you don't understand is that the bible is very effective for many people. your just to blind to see it. knowledge is good but wisdom is the foundation

  • @freest2dogg Thank you for displaying the love of Christ so openly by totally judging me & calling blind. I am glad you are in charge of deciding who has more "Christ" in them between me & you. Sounds to me like you have a very deep Christian ego & you cannot accept anything outside of your ego, so that may be very un-Christlike if you get to the true nature of what Christ really means. I accept Jesus, but I also accept all of the universe, every religion & science. Keep searching, man...

  • Chuck for life

  • This song is amazing... and kinda weird. o_0

  • And it's not devil or illuminati he is arguing with shady

  • @Justinmeyer8 he is clearly not arguing with shady. the voice constantly says "shady" when he is talking to eminem

  • @Justinmeyer8 if he is arguing with shady why does it say shady each time its obviously illuminati/ the devil

  • @Justinmeyer8 ur wrong

  • @Justinmeyer8 he is arguing with the illuminati the deep voice says shady and it says I let you see your daughter blossom meaning he let him live because he accepted the illuminati invite

  • @callum6549 the illuminati? educate yourself. you don't know nothing about the illuminati.

  • @freest2dogg hahahhahahaha I think I do you wepon

  • @Justinmeyer8 I think it's obvious he is not arguing with shady. He repeats he will not die his hair blond again because that was a fake persona, it was not the real Eminem('It's a bottle of bleach and a vodka) And he wants to go back to his own self. He clearly sais ' U can't kill a spirit',' You sold your soul to me'. It's pretty logical you can only be possessed by a spirit, not an alter ego.

  • @zetarry Sorry, I meant "dye".

  • @Justinmeyer8 its shady and the devil. is confusing i know. but thats how em is viewing this.

  • @Justinmeyer8 I completely agree because its true. Every is just ignorant to the truth and they don't want to be wrong.

  • If you listen closely he says "you sold your soul for me" not "you sold your soul to me"

  • It sounds like Eminem and Tyler the Creator:O

  • It's the devil not illuminati:p

  • WTF Thiss cant get any harder !

    Fuccking illuminati !

  • @Lelibobb illuminati is a cancer in our bodies. be very aware of them ppl!

  • People are dissecting and analyzing this song way too much. You're over-thinking it. Yes, he's fighting his alter-ego; the demons within him (that I think we all have to a certain extent). But this isn't Socrates or Plato. I don't think he created it to start a philosophical discussion lol...Just enjoy the song, or if it offends you maybe you should listen to something else. I don't know, that's just my opinion.

  • People the WHOLE point of this song is too show you what selling your "soul" will get you....EM is showing you what he goes through for doing so

  • people are dumb :p this songs actually about the illuminati and how em can't get away from them or they kill him ..

  • '*did

  • Dis anyone else notice the 2nd voice when the "devil" voice was talking? O.o

  • Awesome song

  • this song scares me idk why

    

  • Why are you on about the illuminati you absolute morons? This is simply referring to the Slim Shady persona, not the devil or illuminati.

  • @craigymusic that idea goes stright to hell in the first line of satans first and second verses when he refers to shady and mashall

  • why wasnt this on my relapse

  • @9999samboy It's on the deluxe edition, not the normal.

  • @lyricalperson u mean refill

    

  • @lyricalperson u mean relapse

  • @lyricalperson u mean relapse refill srry

  • for all who dont know what is this video this video is eminem talking about illuminati obviously he talks about he wants to leave but when he WAS in drugs he just was happy about it but when he s out of drugs he just was so fcked up in the mind and he thinked it was a mistake ok happy? still i love eminem and i kindaliked this song

  • @labp12345 you obviously didnt read my comment

  • if u listen closely u can here eminem when the devil is talking

  • the illumaniti are a ploy by the global elite so that way when they take over the world you guys will be thinking "where are the illuminaiti" while the elites are in bilderburg saying "those dumbfucks actually listened to us about a group that went extinct 1100 years ago." and while they are making you they're making you slaves they are having the time of they're lives if you dont belive me look up a man named alex jones and look into what he studies. no trool but like for pplz to get stuff done

  • the illuminati are a ploy set up by the global elites. so that way you aren't looking for them when they take over the world so all of you illuminati fuckers can atop with that and research the global elites

  • If you dont know how to do simple math..1+2+3 = 6 (6,6,6) then you have no right to say illumaniti is fake, Do your research guys. Also yes he did pray to God to get him a record deal but instead the devil decieved him saying, sell your soul to me and ill get you a record deal, hence the lyrics "You sold your soul to me need i remind you?" you dont sell your soul to a demon..you sell it to the devil..msg me and ill tell you 100 ways this represent him fighting illumaniti off him..
