It certainly is possible for someone to become sentimental as they get older. Anyone who has kids would know as they get older and go through different life stages you look back and it does make you sad but happy as well. Maybe he is at a point in his life where he is comfortable to share stuff about his family. Whether it’s personal or strategy , it doesn’t matter. It’s nice to see and all the fans enjoy it for the most part. I just don’t think everything he does is some sign of him being sick or retirement.

So true and even more so when bigger milestone events happen with your children and even self. I think the theme of that song depresses me a little because aging parents, aging self, so i think the worst 😬🙂

When you see your kids getting their drivers license and then all of sudden it’s time to graduate and you really see how time flies by and it hurts. It doesn’t matter how many kids you have, it feels the same. Aging parents…. that’s a rough one too. Some are not fortunate enough to age without health issues and it’s just sad and makes you appreciate things more.

Exactly this, he's always been a softie for his kids, now they're all grown up and hitting milestones he thought he would never be there to see ,that must stir up a lot of emotions and feelings.

I think people forget that these past couple years have been a lot. His house got broken into by a guy wanting to kill him, Dre ended up in the hospital, it’s been the 15 year anniversaries of proofs passing, his overdose, and his sobriety, two of his kids got married, he was on a gunman’s kill list, his 50th birthday, a pandemic and before all of that his dad died, and regardless of their lack of relationship, that had to have shaken him a little as a parent. Not to mention everything Kim has been going through. It’s been intense and probably shifted his perspective, but that’s my take. I do like that he got to put out a song with Stevie’s chosen name though, I think that was an important acknowledgement

You all have me rethinking my theories! I didn’t realize he did Hard Knocks almost a year before knowing he would announce album at the draft. Now I’m backtracking trying to figure out what this means lol. You guys don’t think he’s sick or anything, do you? how do you 180 never showing your kids to having two back-to-back songs about family 🤔 I agree with you Tracy, I personally think it is odd how in a span of a year he goes from complete privacy regarding his kids, to having them all in his videos and publically attending events with them. I think it is nice to see the interaction, but I don't think it is random. I think there is a reason behind it. Either strategy for his brand/music or for a more personal reason. But I don't believe a man who has been mysterious for the past 16 years suddenly woke up and said, "I'm 50 so I'm going to start talking about and showing my kids again." Is it possible? Yes. Is it the most logical conclusion? Not necessarily. Supposedly we still have the Stan documentary coming, maybe more will be revealed then. Also, he is suppsoed to be a guest judge on Rhythmn + Flow. Let's see if that happens. I sure hope so, because I'd love to hear what eh says to the competing artsists. Both of those are suppsoe to happen this year. I hope they stick to it! I completely forgot about the Stan documentary... completely forgot. Yeah I am curious why it was very "locked down" to more like "eh come sit by me at the football game." Especially since it seemed very 'mum' and off topic for him before.

Yeah for real. When you see it all laid out like that... that's a lot to go through.

He has been through a lot and in a way, so have his kids even though they did their best to shield them from it. Not to keep repeating what I said above, but I just think he is just grateful to be where he is today and that he can be apart of their growing up and seeing them live their lives.

He went through his most stressful life until cca.,ten years ago. These past few years is neither a shadow of that time, nor worth mentioning, except maybe his father's death and a guilty conscience about it.

It's still a lot to go through and it's worth mentioning we don't know how he copes with stressful situations, he used to self medicate but not anymore

It's still a lot to go through and it's worth mentioning we don't know how he copes with stressful situations, he used to self medicate but not anymore That's so true. I hope he's happy. Whatever he is doing with his life, I really hope that man is happy. I didn't really wanna mention this but aside from the 49ers v Lions game earlier this year, he seems so... meh. You know? I don't know how to describe it. I know he's always kinda meh, but this year, he seems extra-meh. Even that new video of him talking to LL Cool J... he's just like "that's crazy 😐" I dunno. And even that Slim vs Eminem thing, he was joking around but he was still kinda off and I can't put my finger on it. It's probably just him not loving being in front of a camera? Because his performances have been 👌. So I dunno lol It's probably nothing and just me reading into everything. Wtf do I know but just a vibe. Like he's empty on the inside and going through the motions.
