  • @Peaceluvcheer97 uh hey bitch. aint my fault u kaint readd txt kaii hoe! so juz dnt reply if u aint understand!

  • Im not in the mirror -- im inside you ;)

  • We must compel the governments of the Goyim to take action in the direction favored by our well thought-out plan, which is nearing completion, by what we shall claim is public opinion. This ‘opinion’ will be secretly promoted by us through the means of that so-called "Great Power" – the media, which, apart from a few unimportant exceptions, is already entirely in our hands.

  • the real meaning of this video is that paul wall is dope

  • Cause I'm white and he's white so he's like, My competition I mean right? Nope!

  • Carried on from below...

    If the illuminati exist then they don't believe in the devil or god, for them to have gotten into the position they are in they have to be an intelligent bunch of people.

    The intelligence and logic required for them to be where they are is the same intelligence that would disallow them to believe in fairy tales.

    For all you guys know they could have started this fake music artist conspiracy to throw you off.

    They knew you're a bunch of idiots and would fall for it.

  • It's not about illuminati, there's no such thing as a "soul" it's just a metaphor for his life. He's basically gave up his 'normal' life to become a rapper, and due to his massive success he can't live his life how he wants. He's a product, yes, but not of some secret devil organisation, he's a product of music and fame.

    He's saying he has no individuality and self, he's just a body which does whatever his career requires of him.

    God isn't real, Devil isn't. 'Nuff said.

  • If illuminati kills eminem, i kill illuminati, nuff' said

  • Dear god the fucking illuminati isnt interested in having fucking eminem and jayz in their group. Grow the fuck up you idiots.

  • SHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU­UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU­UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUT UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU­UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU­UUUP

  • you can hear eminem talking for the spiret lol

  • darling? do you like a cup of tea?

  • @johnio12321 would you like*

  • fack illuminati eminem is a best!!!

  • I knew he sold his soul when his albums started getting extremely dark.

  • all this fucking time I thought he was talking to the devil or some spirit shit but its the industry, the muthafucking industry!!!! oh my fucking god!!!!

  • basically he isnt IN THE ILLUMINATI. but HE HAS SOLD HIS SOUL AND DOES SUPPORT THEM and he doesnt WANT. he's said many times. basically he sold his soul because he was becoming huge and they forced him to, however to be IN with illuminat u need to be in the royal bloodline, which Jay Z is in. Now back to the song, it IS ABOUT THEM he doesnt wanna be WITH them anymore. the other things he says bout drugs are to cover it up bcuz he cant come out and say it straight up otherwise he'd get killed.

  • @Zryhmes Is it a royal german family

  • This song is NOT about the ILLUMINATI, you MORONS.

  • so sick and tired of Illuminati replys....i always knew that there were some retards who will reply on this video that Eminem in this song is talkin' bout The Illuminati...he's just so sick and tired of the fame,and plus he was on drugs that period...so fuck the illuminati and that kinda shit groups and stuff... PEACE

  • for y'all stupid people that think it's about drugs then why in hell did he say u signed ur soul to me and I let u watch ur kids grow and shit it's clearly illuminati

  • @chimchimchu

    thankyou

  • @conapples and @TIP580

    god damn it. this has nothing to do with illuminati. the voice in the addiction inside of him telling him to do pills. its not even a hidden message its very obvious

  • eminem left the illuminati now so shut up about it fgs..

  • @LukePwnzU you can't leave the illuminati dude

  • @LukePwnzU if you leave the illuminati or if you tell people about them and what they do or stuff, they'll kill you, like they've killed many already-_- but he does want to leave them

  • Thumbs up if u kno eminem is illuminati!

  • @silabgarzawebclient i prefer "was" ;)

  • 123=6 he said 123 3 time which = 666 thats creepy.

  • The deep voice is clearly his addiction. ....... "Look a little closer, Isnt that us on that poster?" That refers to the picture of his face made out of pills. Dre even says "ever since you got off your drugs you became alot softer." This illuminati shit everyone is buying into is just a conspiracy theory. Nothing more.

  • hey everyone, i know there are a lot of young rappers all over comment pages advertising their new music.. but my mom is supportive of my music, and said that if i get a decent amount of views in the next couple weeks she will buy me some real studio equipment.. so please just help out and give me a view, comment, thumb, or subscription.

    And if you could please take half a second out of your day and thumbs up this comment and get it to the top that would really mean alot!!

  • Fucking dumb asses Illuminati is fake. Anyone who is educated would know that.

  • maybe...

  • @Zero14811111 the illuminati themseves are very educated

    they worship lucifer and are anti-christ

  • @Zero14811111 watch "the arrivals" serie ;)

  • fuk hip hop

  • why??i can show you some guys who are infinite miles better than eminem or fifty

    go to tech n9ne...

  • it is illuminati motherfucker dumb bitches go to church

  • When Michael Jackson died do you guys remember how long they talked about him?? For like 2 straight months on every damn channel!! When Osama Bin Laden was killed they talked about him for like 3 days and thats it!! FACE IT! Michael Jackson was a product thats why when he died they hyped him so much!! Didnt you see his SALES SKY ROCKET AFTER THAT!! THE INDUSTRY IS MAKING MONEY OFF HIM!!

  • people think its about iluminati but thats bullshit its about drugs

  • how can you just say this song is about drugs when hes rapping about something COMPLETELY different than drugs? especially in the first verse!

    GUUUYS, AALTEER EEGOO~!

    FAME! LIFE! RAPGAME! NOT DRUGS! The dark voice is NOT his addiction, its his ALTER EGO! dammit! ><

  • ILLUMINATI SHIT

  • ATTENTION ALL EMINEM FANS

    On October 17th we will all watch "Not Afraid" in honor of the greatest rapper ever's birthday. Let's give him the best birthday present ever: the highest viewed video on YouTube!! Let's give him what he deserves and what Justin Birber does not deserve to have!

    Copy and paste to all Eminem videos and all music videos let's get this noticed quickly!

    THUMBS THIS UP SO MORE PEOPLE CAN SEE

    Lets help Eminem with this

    Thumbs up this!!!!!!!!!!

  • This IS about the illuminati!!

    Kurt Kobain, 2pac, John Lennon, Jemi Hendrix, Elvis Presley, Biggie, Michael Jackson and yes even Eminem were and are EXTREMELY popular and have a very large fanbase. But weather YOU like it or not all of these artists are PRODUCTS and even Justin bieber!! There all used for marketing. It isent called the music "INDUSTRY" FOR NOTHING!! THEY LITERALLY BUILD UP THESE ARTISTS WITH POTENTIAL AND THAN DESTROY THEM!! EMINEM IS AWARE AND SO WERE THE REST BUT NOW DEAD!!

  • @conapples i see what you're saying there, but please do tell me how this song is about the illuminati?

  • @conapples this is about drugs and Slim Shady, thats who the really deep voice, and thats his darling, (im not completely sure, maybe ur right, im just saying what i think, so dont reply with a nasty please)

  • @conapples you sir need to open your ears and listen to the song carefully and tell me how is it about Illuminati?and why do you think Eminem made recovery album because yes he is aware and trying to escape and rebuild the whole slim shady thing but not the same slim shady we all know... NO he is rebuilding clean if you know what i'm saying. Eminem is really smart trust me he knows about the industry hes in and nothing scares him, but if am wrong (i hope i'm not).... *LEGENDS NEVER DIE*

  • @conapples Hey Broham guess What go play in Traffic Bitch...i unserstand that uve 1) been brainwashed and ur stupid as shit or 2) u have no life and u have to cry about how u couldnt become a pretty ballerina when u got older...go kick rocks (they said Jay-z, DMX, Lebron James, Kobe Bryant are illuminati but oh wait there...still...alive O.O

  • @conapples the paragraph below your statement that it's about illuminati shows nothing of how this song is talking about it

  • @conapples fuck off this about his old life involving drugs and who he became and do you really think the illuminuty kills these people ?? everybody dies thats life deal with it when he says he sold his sole to the "game" he means its so much stress and organizing .......... if the illuminuty are real then FUCK THEM COME KILL ME CUNTS reply to this and ill reply back jst to show the DICK HEAD ILLUMINUTY are fake and a public invention and i know my spelling anit the best but i get my point acros

  • @conapples u are dumb

    

  • @conapples This is about the drug addiction shut up

  • in 09, people wee talking about the illuminati. now, same shit. y'all dont learn.

  • i love eminem's old songs and i love his new songs GET THE FUCK OVER IT.

  • This ISNT illuminati.

    The voice is the addiction.

    Not the devil or whatever.

    Dre ever says hes been soft since hes been off Valium. Its about drugs not Illuminati

  • its not the actually devil! u can hear slim shady singing in the final verse. the whole song is about "slim shady" trying to tell eminem to go back to the drugs etc.

  • @EMfan1000 i know same, it pisses me off when dumb asses take this shit seriously and think he actually selling his soul haha

  • @xhoni123456 for one 2pac didn't even believe in the illuminati he wanted to kill the entire idea of it hence killuminati. I can't take you seriously if you don't even know what you're talking about. Most of those people besides immortal technique you idiots just take certain lines from and jump right to the conclusion LOL THEY'RE TALKIN BOUT THE ILLUMINATI when it's something completely different like this song where Eminem is just talking about his alter ego.

  • in this song we have slim shady talking with slim shady wile Eminem and marshal were sleeping.... in recovery eminem and marshal woke up and saw the mess so they recovered from it and now Eminem and marshal are rebuilding slim shady together in Hell: the sequel and in further albums :)

  • When someone says they sell their soul to the devil you take it literal!?!?! You people seriously need help if you can't identify a simple metaphor. "I'm not in the mirror, I'm inside you." and "Isn't that us on that poster" indicates he fighting his popular 'Slim Shady' side.

  • @IVTheWin what's the point of claiming you sold your soul to the devil if you didn't. That phrase is always reality imo. check the katy perry "sold her soul interview," and when she says it, she expresses complete regret.

  • [Comment Removed By The Illuminati]

  • @gfsouthchairman your stupid. this song aint about the illuminati, its about him fighting off shady, and the drugs

  • if you sold your soul then why would you tell everyone? dont believe everything eminem says

  • because thats the only thing he has in his mind,666,devils,etc

    he control only 10 % of his body

  • too bad the illuminati doesn't exist shitheads

  • @NuckingFutsx ignorantt .

  • @allieoner5 idiot

  • ok ,ok so youre smarter than ,2pac ,biggie ,nas ,immortal technique,mobb deep,SHUT UP

    YOU SOUND LIKE A QUEER

  • Comment removed

  • lmao they removed your comment

    you can suck illuminati s dick now ,faggot

  • @xhoni123456 yes you're right. ever since i posted that they have been watching me, i know it. I found bugs that are recording everything i say in my house and upside down crosses under my bed among other places around my house. i went outside to find a burnt bible laying on my front porch with a diagram of ashes next to it that says "YOU'RE NEXT". If i'm not heard from after this point you will know they got to me.

  • Illuminati reference:

    who are willing to sell their souls for this game.

    your soul is mine.(demon talking)

    you sold your sold to me.

    oh you didnt know fame has a price to?

    cuz i posses your soul your mind and your body.

  • This is clearly about him selling his soul for fame and fortune. If it was about drugs then why did the voice talk about his nice cars and house. Drugs didn't get him those nice cars and shit. Idk how much proof you fuckers need.

  • if u guys think its illuminati .....go search ''Eminem my darling illumanti.'' he does say 123,123,123..= 666, then he says that aint the hook, now follow me . he was with illumanti but trying to escape from it.

  • i'm Eminem's darling :p

  • well marshal has 2 egos slim shady (his bad one) and eminem (his good one) but i suppose he sold his soul so hes more shady then eminem

  • lol every dont stfu about illuminati... why do u care em is back and is better with royce da 5"9 now stfu enjoy the song

  • isn't that us in that poster? how does that work with the illuminati stuff?

  • @xXSlickhypeXx Cuz the devil is(was) inside Marshall, inside his mind, inside his soul ;)

  • eminems voice at this song reminds me the track go to sleep

  • for the last fucking time, the deep voice is slim shady

  • @thenewslimshady9 So shady is talking to shady........ hum you're a genuis bro ;) and shady make shady loose his better friend?And Shady sold his soul to shady? it's f*cking logic dude :)

  • @TheBirdmanjunior Read between the lines, think outside the box, he means he gave up his life for hip hop, and it's marshal mathers talking to slim shady, you forget he pretty much got rid of shady at the end of encore, but shady is telling him hes still there and its time to get back to rap

  • @thenewslimshady9 at 1:55 we can clearly hear "shady" ;) and do shady can avoid a bullet to kill marshal?

    DO marshal can sold his soul to Shady? Do shady can take marshal's best friend? And eminem say that he sold his soul to the devil in "Say Goodbye Hollywood", "my soul is possessed by this devil" in "rain man"

    I really think that it's the devil ;) but i'm maybe wrong, tellme what you think ;) (sorry for my poor english i'm french^^')

  • @TheBirdmanjunior Em said hes still alive, meaning he tried shooting himself to kill shady, he means he gave his life for rap as shady, hes talking about the fame he gave up his life for, it called poetic license, hes comparing being famous and devoting yourself to the music industry with selling your soul to the devil cuz either way you lose all freedom

  • @thenewslimshady9 for being famous you should mostly sold your soul to the devil... and you've not talking about proof and the fame is the tool used by satan to bring people to him, personnaly i keep thinking that this song "is the first part" of "25 to life" , anyway have you watch the "music industr" exposed" serie?

  • @TheBirdmanjunior I've seen a few, but have you seen this video: /watch?v=K0jefBkV3rg ?

  • his is a classic example of a song fight between eminem and "his demons" (drugs), the first verse talks all about how people to expect him to rap on about his opinion on other rappers buit not all of his songs are based on bagging out everyone, at the end of the first verse eminem says. The mirror grows lips and whispers ome nearer. The second verse is a call and response between eminem and a monster-ish voice symbolising the his demons that appears in his bedside mirror.

  • @rnadom900 yeah tht is true but what hes tlking about wen the mirror grows lips and whispers come nearer remember he was addicted to sleep medication.. where do u put medicine pills etc.. medicine cabinet.. whats in front of a medicine cabiet? a mirror there you go haha

  • @rnadom900 Maybe he's personifying it, but in like half his songs he talks about selling his soul, demons, the devil etc. This is the most blatant. Why are you all seriously that surprised that Satanists basically run the industry? That whole "Christian rock" joke has something to it. I'm not making any theological assertion about who's right or wrong, if you choose to be a Satanist it's your choice. Still, the industry is obviously no Christian club.

  • I thought he was talking about slim shady until the end when he talk about proof dien and praying to get signed he definitely talking about illuminati

  • @TIP580

    Agreed, dont listen to any of these sheep disagreeing

  • @TIP580 the problem with that is, he prayed to GOD to get signed, not the devil

  • Illuminati lml

  • i think this song says exactly bout him an illuminati an how he tried/.did..leave it

  • @prettyboiJustin That's what some have been saying, that he's basically been in a tug of war "every time I think I'm out...THEY PULL ME BACK IN" kinda thing. You think there's any truth to it? What's Marshall up to these days anyway?

  • @MagnetsFucking just not giving a fuck really i think cause he knows all ppl want is a good beat dnt really care bout the lyrics...his song syllabes says it

  • Slims not dead.. he's tellin me to tell you "SHUT THA FUCK UP [CUNT!!]!!"

    :)

  • This Song Freaks Me Out Like No Other...I Have Mini Panic Attacks I'm Soooooo Scared Of This So Damn Song...I'm Trying To Get Over My Fear Of This Song >.<

  • Good Bye Slim Good Riddance. Hello the eminem welcome to this world hopefully you can make a better difference than Slim did. Killuminati

  • @xUnd3rc0vx Of course eminem has changed. Were you the same 10 years ago? Fucking idiot. If you dont like his music anymore then get the fuck off his videos. If you're a true fan you'd realize that his lyrics are just as good, if not, they've gotten better, you close minded fucks just assume his music is worse because he doesn't rap about the fucked up world we live in anymore. Mature kids, mature.

  • @biller97 finally someone with some common sense. THANKS FOR KNOWING HE GREW UP! i dislike people ragging him cause he grew up. it's shallow and selfish.

  • ‘Member? I let you watch your little girls blossom

    I gave you enough time, your soul’s mine

    I’m taking it back” You fucking bitch, why?!?!

    “Because I love you, look a little closer

    Isn’t that us on that poster?” Ha ha ha

    (Prayed to God, you’d give anything to get a record deal when Dre signed you

    This is what you wanted your whole life, Marshall, right through

    Look at this house, look at these cars, they’re so nice, woo!

    Oh, but you didn’t know fame has a price too)-NEED MORE MOTHERFUCKERS???

  • Y'all are stupid it's about his Caerrer not the illunamti are whatever it is and it's called relapse so he's saying he sold his soul to the devil to become a rapper and the devil wants him back end of story

  • ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ஜ۩۞۩ஜ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

    SHUT UP AND ENJOY THE MUSIC

    ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ஜ۩۞۩ஜ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

  • Wow u guys are so stupid it's: 1+2+3, 1+2+3, 1+2+3 add it up it's, 6,6,6, proof of illuminati

  • lol aint it clear to u lot relapse is about drugs lol hense the eminem made out of pills hense the name of the album.... listen to recovery aswell and 25 to life

  • this is ILLUMINATI DUMBASS

    HOW YOU CANT BELIEVE IT EXISTS??

  • "(123 check, check. 123 check, check 123 that aint the hook now follow me), {there's noting else for me to say, my public adores me}, [everybody bores me. they just corny]" (its not the hook why are you trying to figure it out just follow him) {its like he knows we are going to think that the song is about the devil when its about drugs} [everyone before relapse thought Eminem was gone, when he came back he changed his style of raping and that's why his fans would be corny]

  • can't you people come up with something original? this is getting annoying -.-

    we KNOW ALREADY that this song sounds like it's about the devil. you don't need to post it in EVERY SINGLE FUCKING COMMENT.

  • slim shady is illuminati ;))

    

  • Slim Shady is dead. R.I.P Slim.

    There is just Eminem and this facking commercials songs featuring Rihanna...

    FACK SHIT.

  • @xUnd3rc0vx no, slim didn't die. he grew up, started thinking about his girls. he wanted them to see a real role model. he got off the drugs and outa rehab. so don't make it sound like slim has died, he GREW UP.

  • @xUnd3rc0vx Slim is back brah. Look at his new album.

  • @TrialBySniper yeah too bad it sucks. first of all its not an album its an EP, second, it's a collaboration. the only good song is fast lane and it's not shady it's just a pale imitator. shady is dead and cannot live again because that was a moniker eminem used out of anger and rage in his life. look at Slim Shady LP, Hell The Sequel doesn't resemble anything like it.

  • @xUnd3rc0vx Have you actually fucking listened to his new album with Royce Da 5 9. Your trying to tell me that "The Reunion" is Eminem and Not Slim Shady?

  • @MattysGaming That album is da shit

  • @xUnd3rc0vx i agree but badmeetsevil is kinda good though but nothing like slim shady lp ;)

  • @xUnd3rc0vx dont talk about you dont know

  • @xUnd3rc0vx no skew you faggit shady lives in bad meets evil and stright from the valt

  • @xUnd3rc0vx slim shady was his fuckin demon xD

  • @xUnd3rc0vx not according to this song

  • @DSFM11 what about not afraid ?

  • @MrFrogul aRE YOU STUPID? 123=6 123=6 123=6 which is 666 dumbass...

  • @CinemaTwelve you really call me stupid when ur the bitch getting angry on the internet ? sorry sir but u are with no doubt a fucking moron i was asking a question , and it wasnt ask to u sooooo fuck off ?

  • By your very dumb, dumb, dumb logic... in "Nuthin But a G Thang", Snoop would be saying "10", instead of "1, 2, 3 and to the 4".

    NOW do you see how much of a dumbass you are?

  • whats upp with all these really uncooridanated people accidentally clickiin on the fuckiin dislike button liike holy fuck!

  • This is maddd! But he tryna brake free now anyway

  • god sake it aint 123+123+123 its 1+2+3 

  • i dont like relapse its all bout killing and shit like everything sounds weird and creepy and nasty except crack a bottle thats a good song

  • oh yea and 123 + 123 + 123 = 666 :P stupid people

  • wow any of yall who thinks 123 + 123 + 123 +369 yall r so stupid youi dont wanna belive whats true

    because your scared that the devil is acctully using him so u cover it up with false statements

  • "Im not in the mirror im inside you" Why the FUCK did they cut this from the main album??

  • @Worldatwarwhore cause the illuminati doesnt want to be exposed

  • @Worldatwarwhore

    right?? in my opinion it's the best track on relapse, hell it's his best track in years!!

  • I sing this to my Girlfriend, she thinks it's so romantic

  • @MrUnknown35 the chorus or the whole song?

  • @thenewslimshady9 the chorus

  • @thenewslimshady9 i bet is the chorus xD

  • @MrUnknown35 u got a good gf!

  • @bigbaby107 Lmao, I know right!

  • I honestly want to bitchslap every one of those conspiracy theorists. -.- OMFG ILLUMINATI GUYS GFGHJLDGSHGJSHGLSJDF

  • why u gotta go try to interpret the song, can't u just enjoy it?

  • 123 + 123 +123 = 369 just stfu

  • When Eminem says "he sold his soul to the devil", he means that he dedicated his life to rap. Any toddler can tell a simple metaphor. -_-

  • its funny how the top comments is like fighting wether eminem is illumanat or not

  • go slap ur chick shaddy records...

  • i think he means (1+2+3) + (1+2+3) + (1+2+3) = 666. yea i realise that would equal 18, but it makes more sense than 369..

  • ye its not 666 its 369 lolz xD

  • @MrKotzbi 1+2+3=6 1+2+3=6 1+2+3=6  666.

  • Comment removed

  • @ShaddyRecordds this is what they want u to think haha.

  • @TheRecordLTd i meant 369

  • @ShaddyRecordds open your gaze. your theory is that of ingnorance

  • You Have to be on something else to think hes Adding 1+2+3 ,, i mean Yall are getting to Technical , If you dont think of it that way im thinking 123+123+123=246 Lmao

  • @j03v0ns0bl4ck 123+123+123 = 246 how? its 369.

  • @ShaddyRecordds Hahaha wow -__-

  • TO ALL CONSPIRACY THEORISTS ILLUMINATI HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH EMINEM JESUS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @ShaddyRecordds in many songs he admits to selling his soul to the devil when u sell ur soul to the devil a demon is inside u drugs make it even worse. he says i gave u enoff time ur souls mine im taking it back. it also says im not inside of a miorro im inside you let mi guide you its a demon talking and tormenting him. and my last point obvious he shoots him self he say im still alive the spirit says it to eminem u cant KILL A SPIRT even if u tried to u sold ur soul to me may i remind u

  • @Tannequa92 dude its not a demon, its fucking slim shady, he said "I already killed you" like at the end of encore, and look at that again, "im not in the mirror im inside you" thats gotta be enough to tell you, slim shady is the "spirit inside him" and he shot HIMSELF, he says hes still alive, so is slim shady, he was pretty much saying "ok, you've been gone from me too long, come back to the "dark side" i've let you watch your little girls grow up, now its time to get back to rap. (continued)

  • @Tannequa92 your also forgetting that little line "look a little closer, isn't that us on that poster?" meaning, slim shady was more than a rap style, it was the way eminem dressed, moved, the look in his eyes its obviously one of the older posters from before encore when Em wore those baggy sweat suits, with the fitted caps he used to wear back in the days
