  • OH MY GOD.

    ARETHA FRANKLIN.

  • he's out of his head

  • Eminem was high

  • He sounds like he can barely breathe.

  • rip proof

  • I only came here to hear The Roots.

  • He sounded without energy or power. Black Thought would've done this better live.

  • @eugenerichard same could be said about most popular chart MC's these days, Black would destroy them

  • The roots are amazing. But the crowd what the hell

  • anybody else notice the name of the person who posted this video??

  • lmfao 1:12 the only person bumping their head

  • Yo THE ROOTS where on nick Jr. And my little cuz's were singing to it hella cool

  • rip JMJ, rip Proof.

  • Crowd is sick

  • just old people in the crowd

  • i dont think the crowd understood what just happened

  • bad ass

    

  • PROOF IS A FUCKIN GOD!

  • @NoonishSouljer no eminem is god, and PROOF is jesus!!

  • @TheBlackdunutborges

    nope! did u ever read em's book the way i am proof tought him everything

  • Oh hey when did Eminem get here?

  • FUCKING GOD MARSHALL!!!

  • philly in this bitch wit detroits greatest emcee besides elzhi

  • Fuck this channel..killuminati lol

  • Roots went in hard!!!

  • the best rapper is white and the president is black. how fucked up is that?

  • @ebgrisi

    love it

  • @beeceebee1 yeah me too \o/

  • @ebgrisi I'd say racism is more fucked tbh with you geezar!

  • @blades92 well i just glad thats changing

  • hard crowd ayy? :/

  • This has to be one of the most bad ass things on youtube.

  • Anyone notice the fucking uploaders name is ILLUMINNATTI?!?!?!

  • i would take my mic and go outside, where the real audience is. obv bieber fans sitting inside..

  • Crowd= crickets! Apparently they don't what great music is!!!!!

  • was the guy on stage with eminem black thought??

  • The Roots are so much better than Eminem

  • This song is dope! And it's gonna be in 50 years from now.

  • Horible Beat you can"t rap to that

  • @99boyz

    look, if you think this beat sucks then you don't understand the beauty of musicianship. the roots took a really simple beat and were able to work it into a really sick live rendition. and this is one of their more watered down beats. if you can't wrap your simplistic brain around music that isn't solely boring sample based and hyper electronic, don't criticize it.

    and if it was good enough for eminem to want to rap over, then it's obviously damn good

  • This is awesome. Been waiting to see something like this for a while

  • stop saying the crowd sucks, they were obviously speachless

  • back to the good times of eminem, even if he was on drugs this is way better then what he's making now.

  • Yea that crowd sucks. What does it take to get you people makin some noise?

  • this was definitely live! I have doubts for the 2010 grammys...

  • Dave Chappelle: Jokes and jokes and jokes and jokes, Spaguetti spaguetti spaguetti!!!!!!!

  • ... It's the Grammys. Everyone is in a suit and dress and the majority of the crowd is probably over 40. I think that may explain the crowd sitting down.

  • Ya`ll knw what..???FUCK THE DEAD CROWD..!!!!!

  • jesus crist what a poor crowd... all those quite red faces fucking hell..it ruined such a great performance..

  • so sick

  • Philly and Detroit, STAND UP

  • Wooowww, every hip hop should be played with a band. Much more cool

  • good coverage man. nice.

  • The roots ! Oldschool right now !!!

  • This what hip hop artists need to do, use a live band man!

  • @elburro12345 it would MAJORLY help

  • wow, have not seen this yet...

    great performance, but the poor crowd ruins it all

  • wow dead crowed=/

  • ayoooo ganjaaaa:X:X:X:X

  • The Rooooootssssssssss Black Thought

  • If you listen to ?uestlove's bass drum in the verse the end of eminem's phrases they're often a flam. (Not very tight)

    Plus his accent placing is so white here... he's gotten better, but Black Thought (as the most obvious example) and really dank MC's have not only intricate, but TIGHT flows.

  • The Roots are such a good band, they can make even Eminem sound good!

  • @MantisToboggan23

    eminem makes always good songs ,, the roots make eminem even sound better

  • this is epic :P ♥

  • he's wayyyy better live now than a few years ago

  • @1ruroken totally held his own with b;ack thought and black dante on cypher

  • @stacerobin1 What?

  • diz concert is deifferent from eminem he sounds no to exicted... like he was sad

  • They may have been conservative, but had Spears or Aguleira (in that hemisphere) been up there, the whole place would've been in pandemonium.

  • Em, Proof and The Roots. This is the real hip hop right here. You know what's funny, this has under 200,000 views.

    R.I.P. Proof. I hope em gets used to performing without drugs and drops at least one album that reeks of his old style (like before slim when Em was Infinite) I'm sure he will.

  • PROOF

  • wat can i say...AMAIZING PERFORMANCE!

  • This has to be the best version of this song out there. The live band with impeccable spitting by em are unstoppable.

  • Wow is that crowd shitty as fuck

  • @rllaxpimp00 i know right id be like "w00t GO EMINEM!!!!!!!!! id go crazy ")

  • @210Dinero heard dat :)

  • @rllaxpimp00 ITS DA GRAMMYS DATS Y

  • @rllaxpimp00 they are quiet because they are all in shock. i know i would be!

  • love the real song

  • love the real song

  • shit, Roots could have killed this shit 1000000x more. I mean they did, but the sound just wasnt amped right. That beat knocks & Roots could have set fire to that shit but the music should have gone way up on the chorus & the keys should have dominated

    THe people who hooked the sound up fucked up. Go figure...

    Anyway, thats what they get for not letting Thought on stage. Fuck the grammys. The Roots are a whole organism, you cant keep out BlackThought and think you gonna get a full performance

  • @IndivisiblePrinciple agree with your point, but the people who did the final mix for this video fucked up, not The "people who hooked up the sound". It actually sounds like it's recorded pretty well, the balance is just way off. Could be a front of house mix or something.

  • Wish black thought would of got a verse in would've killed it

  • R.I.P Big Proof...

  • Great, just great!

  • Where's Black Thought ....

  • this is pure awe

  • Eminem vocal + Roots instrumental = Awesome Song

  • The legendary roots crew!!

  • rip proof, you were a fucking legend

  • the roots are too much for that poor asshole.

  • r i p proof

  • 5 stars

  • i love this one compared to the orginal one

  • this crowd is too silent

    can they not see that there are legendary musicians on stage

  • 2:20-2:40 he needed air so badly....

  • @solskim11 lol yeah he died at the ending at 2:39 but he still managed to pull it out

  • 2:20-2:40 he needed air so badly...

  • the thing about preforming at the grammy's is..the audience just sit, and that's killing.

    This preformance deserves a crowd who's going crazy and make this colab a magical experience.

  • Poets of the Fall - Carnival of rust

  • check out the sed the mc and j cole battle

  • u only get 1 shot !!!

  • I love this because eminem is singing HIMSELF. and you can tell HE is the one who is singing. There is like no background recording like he normaly does. But this is the real him(L) MY GOD i love him.

  • how could the audience NOT respond? white people are so repressed.

  • Relax. The crowd was older and conservative. No one forced him to perform. You don't perform for approval, you perform cause it's what you love.

  • roots are amaizing band and eminem great mc v.good combination but need better crowd :D

  • really good man !

  • notice it was mostly the guys that stood up to show respect for em lol

  • wtf this crowd is pure shit!!

  • I hate that thing EMinem does with his hands like he's scratching a record LOL

    Anyway one of the best that ever did it. But sorry not THE best...sorry Internet Stans.

  • eminem, hes a rapper for him self.

  • wats up wit da crowd??

  • "Detroit, what?!" R.I.P. BIG PROOF... DAMN I MISS HIM...

  • i wouldnt even perform for these fkin robots thats why the oscars are so gay, everything has to be so fkin serious....i mean for fuck sake theres a fkin legend on the stage!!!

  • i think he ran out of breath at the end of the second verse but this is really an amazing live performance

  • If I were Em, I'd throw shit at the crowd

  • questlove sense of rhythm is amazing!! he sounds like a fuckin drum machine!! the roots wouldnt be the same without him.

    AND WTF IS GOIN ON WITH THAT CROWD?!?!

  • @snowdjagha i think its just because he was at the grammys but they could have shown some energy

  • He is the best.....

  • eminem is awesome but the crowd is so dead

  • r.i.p proof

  • EMINEM COULD KILL ANY BEAT

  • @BBagwell350 Fail.

  • crowd is so boring i would be the only one there screaming my head off rofl

  • The FUCKING ROOTS CREW!!!!!!!!!

  • cool P man eminem

  • Eminem is the Best Lyricist in the game....RIP PROOF

  • Interesting.... Black Thought doesn't need a hype man. He should be spittin this verse instead.... It'd be way better. Go Roots!

  • Check out my vids!!!! I just uploaded five new songs with tons of dope rhymes!!!!

  • standing ovation :D, but where is black thought

  • i cant believe people are saying the roots are 'anonymous'

    learn your hip hop history

  • What are the audience glued to their seats? Why are they static like they are dead?

  • they do that for most rappers i noticed

  • @Saspurs326 - Yes, well it's unacceptable. They were not even nodding their static heads to this OSCAR WINNING tune - then to add insult to injury - only 20% of the audience gave a standing ovation. Bloody robots.

  • yes?

  • is the guitarist ben kenney?

  • yes

  • ?uestlove, such a powerfull drummer!

  • shady sounds like he ran a mile before he started singing this....

  • Say what you want about EM, the boy can flow. The Roots what can I say, they are always pushing the envelope.

  • Eminem is usually quite good live. NOT that this wasn't good, it was great, but it could've been better without the audible gasping. What's the point in having two hype men if they're practically doing nothing? I mean, what the fuck was that?

  • crowds dead xD

  • Nice combo!

  • The roots are anonymous? Fool! They is legend!!

  • he was running out of breath on this performance.check out all those white guys rising 4rm they sits to clap,lol

  • he never out of breath

  • he *gasp* couldn't go *gasp* more than a couple *gasp* lines without *gasp* gasping. the roots was flawless, however

  • where is the crowd

  • lol He was getting out of breath easier in this version.

  • Thats great Eminem and an anonymous back up band. I didn't see the point of having the roots.

  • Watch Proof at 3:42, he's so emerged in the beat!

    Classic song, great performance.

  • yes the roots have instrumental talents but their albums are just as ridiculous! they are a popular cover band cuz they can put together great music! ....check out this group "INRG" i been listening to...another awesome group in the making if u ask me!

  • The Roots are so underrated. I mean they play their instrumentals and have lyrics as hell (search for black thought)

  • ?uestlove 4 president

  • I grew up listening to this song since I was 6, this is a classic. May no one ever forget it.

  • this song is only 7 years old, why are your parents letting a kid listen to eminem?

  • Perfect!! This Is A Real Rapper He Raps About Real Shit And No Auto Tune

  • And there's people who say rap doesn't have instruments

  • bad guitar :-/

  • roots are a great live band

  • u on pills or something funktabulous ? nothing happens at 3:02 !

  • at 3:02 all the way to the end. dayem! sick lyrics. and the roots go nuts! one of the best on stage collabs for me!

  • if u had one shoot one oportunity to seize everything you've ever wanted in one moment, would u capture it? or just lets slip

  • Best song ever MARSHALL!!

  • black, white? wtf, we're all the same! i'm white and hate razists, does that meen I act like a black?

    and if I am black, does that made me worse person?

    FFFFFFFuck u

  • yeah I totally agree! you go girl!

  • EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEminem the best!!!!
  • The Roots are the hardest working group in show biz.

    Theyre either recording or touring nearly every damn day of the year.

    Oh yea, and now theyre a house band for a TV show 5 nights a week?? and still do concerts on the weekend and are working on the new album... AND if youve seen them live as I have a few times you know theyre never anything less then 110% energy

    and Black Thought is one of the deadliest MCs of our time

  • This is what I call a REAL LIVE PERFORMANCE.

    I know he must of been gasping for air backstage after this performance, even though he wasnt moving much, he was spitting out everything he had in him.

  • well said..

  • Eminem is great, however, either he went crazy and/or pop because he was in the spotlight. Now he just makes horseshit. THE ROOTS HAVE ALWAYS MADE 100% art, bottomline.

  • go die

  • EMINEM IS THE KING OF RAP... nuff said

  • king of rap for sure!

    king of hip-hop, that's another story

  • and the roots are awesome enough to let eminem bask in their glory.. questlove for life..

  • rip proof
