I absolutely agree with that. It should've been a response to Benzino more than anything. As for something missing.. do you mean Em's videos or the lyrical lemonade? In this video, it's just basically means Em is destroys everything in his path. I really liked gnat and Godzilla.. but this one was ok. As for the all is yellow theme.. no clue except lemons are yellow 😂. Aside from that, don't understand that themselves. Maybe Cole Bennet really likes lemons lol I like Em's older videos, I haven't liked Cole's work. I feel like they seem incomplete. Godzilla was good, though. I feel like this Doomsday video looks like it was done on a budget but not in a good way. With a title like DOOMSDAY, why not do a video in a SAFE ROOM with stacks of Em's old footage and crates of Lyrical Lemonade. Em could have been sitting on a yellow sofa and wathcing a TV with snippets of his old videos and the rapper cameos could have come on the screen. The safe room would have represented how no matter what, these rappers can't reach him, he's untouchable. This hallway action doesn't make any sense, it just looks cheap. Whoa - that video concept is dope!!! But, would it be similar to like Mockingbird? This video wasn't that great. But, if it's a teaser, then I guess that's cool. You're right though, it felt like a low budget video. As for me, I kinda like Cole because it really reminds me of the old Busta Rhymes and Missy Elliott videos. They were like crazy back in the day. Their visuals were nuts.. like an overload

Their visuals were nuts.. like an overload I could see what you mean about Mockingbird, I didn't even think of that, but there was a nostalgic vibe with that video, this one would be strategic, like mission impossible/terminator vibe. A safe room that resembled a very modern futuristic feeling. To be honest, harkening back to Mockingbird might be a cool homage to contrast the sentiment from that video. Kind of like he once reminisced on being a father now he reminisces about being undefeated. Something fo that nature. Yeah, Missy's videos were fresh. I would love to see what Nasaan could do with an Em video if he had the money. Like Nasaan does an amaizng jhob with ZERO budget. Cole had some funds, so I expect a lot more.

Your idea sounds pretty badass! It could definitely be a homage to Mockingbird but with an updated twist. That would be a total trailer vibe to a new album. I think your idea makes more sense than what they did over here. I gotta check out nasaan. I haven't heard anything from him. Are there any songs in particular that you recommend? I was watching a video with him and Royce. Apparently, they moved to ATL and he wasn't really in EMs life like that. It sucks because Em and Proof were brothers. I would've thought that Em would somewhat be a regular presence in the lives of Proof's kids

But I also heard that Proof's wife Sharonda did not like Eminem very much. But he said in a sng that she was at least talking to him. Nasaan said in a reddit post that his mom didn't liek any of his dad's friends when someone asked why she didn't like Em. I feel like there is more there that we will never know. Nasaan also shared that he doesn't really talk to Eminem much. Check it out here: www.reddit.com/r/Eminem/comments/196j7u2/hi_my_name_is_nasaan_i_come_in_peace_lets_chat/

But, I guess Em does have to respect Proof's wife's wishes I guess. But, it still sucks. I do wonder why she doesn't like him. I know that there's so much behind the scenes that we don't know. But, I guess a lot of people say Em isn't like his public persona and his songs. At the same time, Em was wild when he was young. With the amount of money and fame that he has, God only knows what went on in the background.

I've haerd some things I don't know if they are true, but my theory is that likely with all the touring and groupies, she probably blamed Em for Proof's indescretions. But, at the end of the day, he's a grown man who made his own decisions. Plus, he was running them streets likely before Em was, so...

Touring must've been crazy back in the day, especially at the peak of Em's fame. I understand that Proof is a grown man.. but for me, I would never tolerate any one of my friends cheating on their loved ones.. that would be a redline for me.. especially if there are kids involved. So, I can see her side too.. but, it's on Proof at the end of the day. Speaking of touring and what not, have you seen Em's tour riders?

I see what you are saying, but Em was having affairs of his own so he couldn't really tell his friend to be faithful. That wold be hypocritical. I mean Em was posing for all kinds of photos with Kesia, out to dinner, at parties, cuddled up and that is why Kim made him marry her when he came back off of tour. I think they had problems way before he became famous because they were not even a couple anymore when Kim told him she was pregnant with Hailie, so he never was in a place to advise Proof on his relationship. If anything, Sharnda saw Em as a bad influence on Proof, even though I don't think that is the case either. But tour riders??? What do you mean? Are you talking about docymentarues when he is on tour from the Slim Shady days? I can't wait for us to get an unauthorized biography from someone inside his camp like D12. We know it's going to happen, it's just a matter of when. I think it will be Royce that does it first though.

Yes, he wore the shit out of that suit 😍 Did he ever!! Love the black & yellow combo. Agree the make-up artist went overboard and it is very noticeable in some shots. I have never seen EM live and I hope he at least does a few shows in a few big cities, especially if it's true about Australia. I don't care if he's in Europe, I will go and see him but Australia is not appealing to me. I know I am scarce but I take breaks and get on other rappers' in Spotify. Been Harlow, J Cole, and Drake heavy for a bit. but WHEN Em drops that new album he will be the only one on my radar for 6 months or more. I enjoy reading everyone's insights and thoughts...This board is full of a lot of knowledgeable and well versed posters! Be well all!

Riders, like what they request for their dressing rooms and stuff right?? I think I remember seeing his a while back. I would love to see them again or even updated ones!

Even his tour riders are humble, lol! Saw some list of celebs’ tour riders, and Em was the only one who asked for food for the entire team! The others was like room temp needs to be this snd this, drink temp needs to be this snd this…
