He's nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready to buy a watch, but he keeps on forgetting what he's earned now, his manager laughs so loud, he opens his wallet and the notes all fall out; he's loaded now, time's on - Rolex, wow!
What pisses me off about this so much is that you probably hardly had to try. Honestly, this probably comes naturally to you. This comment would take me upwards of 20 minutes, and I wouldn’t get nearly this close to gold.
Linkin Park gets a lot of shit but they wrote some real heartfelt bangers. I am very happy to hear that their music helped you through the hard times. Keep smiling when you hear them!
Yea Eminem's music has gotten me through so many low points in my life. I enjoy a lot of different types of music but his art will always hold a special place in my heart. Also he's funny as hell. One day I hope to meet him and just share how important his music is to people. I'm sure he's heard it already, though.
I grew up in the same area he did and he has a really stellar reputation around town. Super nice guy, saw him at the mall a few times too. He’s pretty much the definition of humble and will do anything for his home town. He also has a restaurant called Mom’s Spaghetti in Detroit and from what I’ve heard it’s pretty good!
Wow are you me? I had a tape (yes, a tape) I listened to every day in college while I ran on the indoor track. One side was Eminem, the other Linkin Park.
Great to see he's gone the opposite way of most people in his field who idolise a materialistic lifestyle. Seems to have quite a level head on his shoulders even with millions of dollars in the bank.
Instead of that Kardashians show I wish they had Just Eminem where they follow him around with cameras but he's not really into it so he doesn't do anything. I still wouldn't watch it, but I bet other people would.
I totally agree with you on this, and it goes to show because you never see him on tv, in front of the cameras, flashing what he has etc... That's the way to go 👍 (Oh happy cake day dude)
Well, he learned from experience. It's not like Em haven't splurged millions on houses and stuff. He had time to taste everything life has to offer the wealthy before he started to humble out.
I love hearing the stories about how Eminem treats it like any other 9-5 job. I think it was Akon who told the story of them being halfway into a track and Eminem just looks at his watch, "It's 5. I'll see you tomorrow." And leaves.
Other rappers don’t idolize a materialistic lifestyle. The fans do. Rappers, and celebrities generally, are in the business of wish fulfillment. The product is the ability to live vicariously through someone else.
For some people, if you grow up poor, you learn how to live and be happy with a simple cheap lifestyle. And then no amount of money changes that. Always love those kind of people. They’re living the Real Life. Buying fancy things is fleeting and fading.. it doesn’t last. Case in point: EM can’t even remember what fancy watch he bought.. that’s how “important” it was..
Yup, my parents grew up dirt poor. My parents have everything paid off and live comfortably. They still go out of their way to save a couple of dollars. My mom thinks paying for streaming services is a massive waste of money. They are the biggest penny pinchers in the world. My mom still hand sows any holes in her clothes.
Imagine spending your whole life being poor. Then working hard perfecting your talents, in a field where you're a minority, and busting your ass to change your own situation to provide for yourself, you child, and the children of relatives who were unfit parents. All of that, only to be made fun of for not wanting to be wasteful with your money and buy overpriced luxury goods that are essentially status symbols.
A lot of people who become successful in one area of their life assume that they’re good at everything (ex. celebrities who start giving medical and political advisement). From my perspective, with the way he was answering the question, it sounded like he was aware of what he was competent in/capable of and what he wasn’t. He wasn’t someone who grew up with money and didn’t assume that he’d know how to make the right choices and/or appreciated it enough to not just blow through it like most people in the same situation. He asked for help from someone who could help and that’s great. Stressful life/traumatic experiences can also affect people differently- some might want to over correct and some might take a while to feel safe/secure enough to acknowledge that they, for example, can buy the watch and be okay. I’ve always been a fan- this was cool to see!
If you pay attention, he doesn't actually say he BOUGHT the Rolex... merely that he asked his manager if he could afford one. So I would deduce that when he found out how much a Rolex cost - he went and bought that $100 watch instead. ;-)
Fun story: so Eminem grew up in Detroit which isn’t far from where I live, and one night I was at a bowling alley in kind of the metro-Detroit area. A couple lanes down from me I keep seeing this girl who I think I recognized from somewhere but I’m not 100% sure from where. Eventually I have to go home but she stayed there and she’s talking to some people who went to my high school. I later see on Instagram from those people who I went to high school with that that was Eminem’s daughter. It’s funny because I guess the world is a bit smaller than we realize.
I remember I had a G-shock back in high school and kids made fun of me bc it was yellow/mustard colored, so I stopped wearing it. Man, if I just knew Eminem also wore a G-shock back then...
It's funny because the people with diamonds in their forehead and boasting about how many millions they have are usually dead by the age of 25. Maybe it's because that outlook on life is increadibly toxic, self centered and dangerous?
I've seen a lot of celebrities hit it big, blow their wad, and end up as broke as they were before they got famous. It's nice to see someone avoid those pitfalls.
Honestly, good on him, a fool and his gold are soon parted. Plenty of people have made millions of dollars and gone bankrupt within a decade. It's much better to be too careful than not careful enough
Its all about perspective. Its good that he has maintained a level of frugality, its probably a good way to stay anchored as a celebrity to your roots.
Man had a good taste in watches. G-shock fan myself. Rolexes are good if you got money and want to be flashy, but G-shocks are rock solid and last forever
Manager be like: "What you wanna buy the entire Rolex company?"
“A Rolex or just Rolex”.. btw, you can afford both.

He wanted to make sure he had enough money for his daughter before he bought the watch.
Cause these goddamn food stamps don’t buy diapers
Daughters
He's nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready to buy a watch, but he keeps on forgetting what he's earned now, his manager laughs so loud, he opens his wallet and the notes all fall out; he's loaded now, time's on - Rolex, wow!
Snapback to attach it, he hopes it fits accurately
What pisses me off about this so much is that you probably hardly had to try. Honestly, this probably comes naturally to you. This comment would take me upwards of 20 minutes, and I wouldn’t get nearly this close to gold.
Damn that was good
I’m too poor for gold, but have this my good man
Splendid!
That just made me afternoon. Thank you!
The last 4 words killed me
Dayuum!! It was so well written, I couldn't stop myself from singing it the original way!!
this is beautiful ^
Daaaaaammmmnn dude
This was really good! You have Talent!
snap back to reality
We've found the next big rapper here
Congrats on winning the internet today. 👊
These gif replies Are getting out of hand. Or two.
Idk if you're parodying eminem but I read it as that song by Cake - going the distance going for speed
Eminem and Linkin park made my depression easier. I love how humble Eminem.
Linkin Park gets a lot of shit but they wrote some real heartfelt bangers. I am very happy to hear that their music helped you through the hard times. Keep smiling when you hear them!
RIP Chester
Same man. Same.
I like his attitude about money but not his attitude about women.

have you listened to their fan-made mashups? some of them are pretty damn good.
You can’t touch music, but music can touch you

People who grew up poor and earned themselves 'fuck you' money are the best. Completely cheap, frugal yet incredibly generous people
Adam Carolla is like that. He gets his hair cut at a walk in place and always talks about people wasting stuff.

And people still doubt his skills
It's actually quite wholesome as well
I really enjoyed watching it,
”Do you like spending money?”
Question, why is Eminem blowing up recently? I log into twitter and Reddit and all my feed is, it’s just Eminem…
Because hes the GOAT
He could be releasing an album soon.
The G Shock is probably a better time keeper than the Rolex.
As a Rolex owner...I, without hesitation, believe the G-Shock keeps time better.
Quartz watches are in general much more accurate than mechanical watches.
Casio G Shocks are awesome
What the fuck was that music
It’s a tik tok/Instagram thing where people add that music on “badass” or motivational style videos.
Eminem is great. One of the few that haven't forgotten where he's from and let luxury change him
A lot of people who become successful in one area of their life assume that they’re good at everything (ex. celebrities who start giving medical and political advisement). From my perspective, with the way he was answering the question, it sounded like he was aware of what he was competent in/capable of and what he wasn’t.

I like M&M more now.
[удалено]
I prefer the non g shock casios. Slimmer and would survive pretty much anything anyways.
Think he's deep down a decent human being regardless of what facade he wears at the moment.
When you grow up poor that anxiety over money is practically engraved on your DNA.
It’s funny how the rappers with the dirtiest lyrics are the nicest at times like Dmx and Eminem
This is a g shock
Gshock: hmm sounds expensive
If you pay attention, he doesn't actually say he BOUGHT the Rolex... merely that he asked his manager if he could afford one. So I would deduce that when he found out how much a Rolex cost - he went and bought that $100 watch instead. ;-)

One of the best traits about em is that hes so humble
The more I know of the man … the cooler he gets
👆 this!
Em is so cool. He got me out of some shit times. Now I’m back in shit times. Should listen to him now
This is why I respect and value Eminem
GShock for life baby! they're the best watches I've found that are perfectly functional, slightly fashionable, and incredibly affordable.
You can tell he has a legit appreciation for what he's earned.
Humble as fuck. Gotta love Em for it.
POV: you just realized how similar Eminem and Elijah Wood look
THIS IS HOW YOU END POVERTY!!
I love him sm
i have several dope timepieces but consistently rock my matte black/gold analog g-shock more than the others.. som’n about em, i swear
[удалено]
Bro Eminem owes me a sandwich bro frfr I’m going back to moms spaghetti soon! Much love to the goat though
That’s why we love Em’! So honest.
Eminem becoming the calm voice of reason and humility in the world was not on my bingo card, I have to admit
I remember I had a G-shock back in high school and kids made fun of me bc it was yellow/mustard colored, so I stopped wearing it. Man, if I just knew Eminem also wore a G-shock back then...
G force be like “Fuck yeahh”
Easy to forget that underneath that rapping talent still lies a frugal, middle aged white man.
So cool daddy neminem so humble 🙏😱😍
I do adore him still.... I’m so old!
his attitude towards being thrust in to having shit tons of money is best shown in his song "Elevator" in my opinion.
My guy
Always enjoyed Eminem. He tells it how it is and still seems like a solid guy.
“Time is money so I went and bought a Rolex!” -Wiz Khalifa
Hey em, you broke up there. Did you say rolex or rolls royce? Either way yes
Well I mean of course you’d ask if you could afford something
Plenty of newly rich people don't ask and end up broke a few years later.
I’m happy for him. Smart man.
GOAT mode -Realest to ever do the rap game
Eminem is what Mark Zuckerburg would look like if he was human
Rich people stay rich by not spending tons of money. Rich people that spend tons of money often dont stay rich.
I used to make my roommate and I Mom's Spaghetti. He named it after the first time I made it. It is literally the laziest way to make spaghetti.
Tell me you grew up without money without telling me that you grew up without money.
It's funny because the people with diamonds in their forehead and boasting about how many millions they have are usually dead by the age of 25. Maybe it's because that outlook on life is increadibly toxic, self centered and dangerous?
As Nico Leonard says, “that’s a god tier watch!”
I love him.
He doesn't like to spend money coz he wipes his ass with 6 mil
G-Shock is an awesome watch.
When you're so poor in the past that after you become successful, you just forget that you're rich.
When you don’t come from money it’s sacred. When you come from money you’ll just magically get more.
Came here for the spaghetti. Very disappointed...
When was this filmed?
I don’t mean this in a bad way but, what is he? He’s apart of a different strata of human being. There’s just something undeniably special.
I've seen a lot of celebrities hit it big, blow their wad, and end up as broke as they were before they got famous. It's nice to see someone avoid those pitfalls.
This guy man, GOAT!!
I'm still shocked that there are watches over 100 dollars.
The mentality sticks with you. At least it should. When you can buy something without looking at the price it’s a lot easier to trick you.
So did he open a restaurant in my town just to make up for all the money he spent?
Love that man, not just because we’re from Detroit. But that’s exactly how I would be. Millions of dollars and I would be wearing a Seiko.
My fkn guy
😂😂
yeah but is it the aqua teen hunger force g-watch.
Honestly, good on him, a fool and his gold are soon parted. Plenty of people have made millions of dollars and gone bankrupt within a decade. It's much better to be too careful than not careful enough
Good for him.
This guy is unique
Not dissing Eminem at all, but at the start of this video he looks like zuckerbot
I love this man so much
That’s why he’s one of the richest people in music. People with money know the difference between price and value.
Stay humble.
still down to earth! mnem
Its all about perspective. Its good that he has maintained a level of frugality, its probably a good way to stay anchored as a celebrity to your roots.
He came out of poverty. What do people want from his life? Oy vey.
Bruh, I got my Casio G-Shock for $20. As a small story, I’ve thrown it as hard as I could against a brick wall, and not a scratch was on it.
This didn't make me smile. He's just been a normal person.
Smart
Man had a good taste in watches. G-shock fan myself. Rolexes are good if you got money and want to be flashy, but G-shocks are rock solid and last forever
G-Shock’s were the only watch I ever actually liked or wanted. What a legend.
I miss him (in the picture)
He's got good taste! My g shock has been beat to hell and still runs like new!
“Rolex, you mean you wanna buy the whole company?”
love him
ppl don’t get tht
Song name?
How you stay rich
Smart man. Those watches last forever.

Eminem should know by now: we are in love, Marshall. Propose with a lollipop ring, asap.
I miss brown-hair Eminem.
Damn manager lied and bought him a Gshock....
For a second I mistook him for Zuckerberg!
Oh yea , spend it all on a nice watch or keep it frugal
can anyone please tell me the name of that song

Contentment is the key to life !!

I wonder how much money his manager(s) suck out of him since he doesn’t seem to care at all
Come to Waterloo, IA, I’ll teach you about what you can afford. I hate that you feel this way!
Nothing wrong with money management 🤷🏿♂️
Sigma male theme remix playing in background, is eminem above the alpha???
Kinda cool he’s rocking a cheap watch
My man keeping it real AF
I love this guy.
I'm 38. Been a fan since 10th grade. 🐐
Is that Mark Zuckerberg?
