2000-2002 Eminem was on top of the world.

I remember hearing this song for the first time and crying because of all the pain he conveyed in his lyrics. Em is a true story teller.

"I'm sorry mama I never meant to hurt you" although he is getting dragged and abused

FINALLYYY. It was about time someone posted the explicit version of this video clip. Thank you elcoronelGOD for doing this

This song makes me tear up every time I watch it!! He is someone to look up to! He grew up in hell but kept fighting and made it.. He is amazing 👍🏻

Love this song.. probably the first song I memorized as a kid because I was so mad at life

I was 19 when this song hit the airwaves. When I first heard it, I thought it was nice, But when I first saw the video, I was like, "this song fits my mom to a "T." Her and dad were into drugs and alcohol when I was a kid, and although, they were never abusive to me and my siblings, we could still hear their arguing. When they divorced in 93, I thought, "wow, what a relief." My dad was doing his best to work and support us kids, while mom was out running around on him. Dad was dabbling in getting sober at that time, and mom was kinda lingering in limbo. Through the help of family, dad won custody of us, but, like mom, he was going from relationship to relationship. However, unlike mom, dad was always there for me. There was a time where I didn't see my mom for nearly a year. Whenever I did, we almost always had to be snuck out of the house, because of her boyfriends getting violent. I applaud her for thinking of us in that regard. However, I never really forgave her for thinking of herself over us. She missed many family functions related to us, etc. etc. In 1997, my dad was sober for a little over a year, when he found a home on 5 acres, and built the foundation of what would become a fairly successful, non-profit drug and alcohol rehabilitation center. He then asked me and my siblings to be his second-in-command, so to speak, and 24 years later, I still hold that position, with my mom being the ultimate decision maker, being as her and dad got back together in 2004, and they were together until dad passed in 2015, and we've helped thousands of people achieve sobriety together. Mom and I still have our disagreements every now and then, but we do try to communicate better whenever we see each other. We're both getting older now, Being as I'm now 38, and she's 63, so I think we're beginning to realize that our days in this world are numbered, and we should use that time to make good memories, and not obsess over bad ones. I will say this though, I could've sent mom this song back in the day, but nowadays, I just thank the man above that I saw more of mom's clean side than the drug-addled one.

Wow. So Powerful. I've never heard a song like this before. He's carried so much pain and anger from childhood, it's amazing how he's used all that to get to where he is today. Respect. He's truly gifted.

Anybody in 2024

My Mom was similar in aspect of bein abusive to me as a kid whilst she used to be an alcoholic and drug addict. But now that I’m enterin my 20s I’ve decided to forgive her as a way to mature and move on.

One of my favorite Eminem songs. Man sometimes it’s hard to listen to because at the time it came out I was going through a lot of shit. Good and bad, call it bittersweet. But every time I hear it it brings me back to those days.

I was 8 yrs old when I heard this song for the first time on MTV. I'm Russian and my English level was too low to understand the meaning but I really wanted to know what this song was about. We had no internet back in 2002 so I had to wait for 6 years to get the lyrics and translate it myself

I can seriously relate to this song

This song hits hard for child abuse survivors

Amazing how Eminem would go as far as not being afraid to diss him mom. I'm not tryna sound like a asshole, but she had it coming.

This is my 1st time properly listening to this song and WOW those lyrics man! He was born into hell, but he fought and he got out of there. Writing this must have been therapy for him.

My momma regrets showing me Slim Shady when I was 5 years old because of this song.

3.55 "Remember when Ronnie died and you said you wished it was me" His face tells the pain🥺💔

"So before they throw me in my coffin and close it" one of the realest lines he ever said 👏👏

This song most definitely hit different listening to it as an adult

I love this song remind me of my life in a way also.

Amazing

Now that I’m grown up this song just really makes me sad due to how much I can relate to it

Eminem has gone through hell and back. I feel bad for him but he learned from the mistakes that happened to him.

This song is very deep.

Never gets old

I'm pretty sure this is just the explicit audio over the official video but it's still good.

Muito bom

This is a prime example of “the best form of revenge is bettering yourself“

Love this song. The problem with it is that 13/14 kids watch this and think they have it bad because mommy is annoying. I feel like we all who have had moms in this category know that "annoying" or "boring" isn't a problem, if you have a problem with your mom and those are your complaints, be thankful. I wish i was one of those who don't understand this song.

One of his best instrumentals ever

And Halie is getting so big now, you should see her she's beautiful, but you will never see her, she won't even be at your funeral! That's deep

Great song

This whole video is like watching my own childhood. My mom didn't pop pills but the rest was the same. Especially his last verse (minus award show lol) I still feel it in my core till this very day 20+ years later

Damn they don’t make music like this no more you can feel his pain if you listen

my mother has Munchausen & NPD.... i feel this shit in my bones.

Old em should come back and destroy all these lame ass new so called rappers

You get my likes because you posted the actual song as it was written, not the censored garbage being shared by EminemMusic. Kudos.

ooh wow

One of his best

This is a beautiful song. His cadence is phenomenal as usual in this

*Lyrics* Where's my snare? I have no snare on my headphones There you go Yeah Yo Yo Have you ever been hated or discriminated against? I have I've been protested and demonstrated against Picket signs for my wicked rhymes Look at the times Sick as the mind of the motherfucking kid that's behind All this commotion, emotions run deep as oceans explodin' Tempers flarin' from parents, just blow 'em off and keep goin' Not takin' nothin' from no one, give 'em hell long as I'm breathin' Keep kickin' ass in the mornin' and takin' names in the evenin' Leavin' with a taste as sour as vinegar in their mouth See they can trigger me But they never figure me out Look at me now I betcha probably sick of me now Ain't you, mama? Imma make you look so ridiculous now I'm sorry mama I never meant to hurt you I never meant to make you cry But tonight I'm cleanin' out my closet One more time I said I'm sorry mama I never meant to hurt you I never meant to make you cry But tonight I'm cleanin' out my closet Ah I got some skeletons in my closet and I don't know if no one knows it So before they throw me inside my coffin and close it Imma expose it I'll take you back to '73 Before I ever had a multi-platinum sellin' CD I was a baby Maybe I was just a couple of months My faggot father must've had his panties up in a bunch 'Cause he split I wonder if he even kissed me goodbye No, I don't owe him a second thought I just fuckin' wished he would die I look at Hailie And I couldn't picture leavin' her side Even if I hated Kim I'd grit my teeth and I'd try To make it work with her, at least for Hailie's sake I maybe made some mistakes but I'm only human But I'm man enough to face 'em today What I did was stupid No doubt it was dumb But the smartest shit I did was take the bullets outta that gun 'Cause I'd have killed 'em Shit, I woulda shot Kim and them both It's my life I'd like to welcome ya'll to the Eminem Show I'm sorry mama I never meant to hurt you I never meant to make you cry But tonight I'm cleanin' out my closet One more time I said I'm sorry mama I never meant to hurt you I never meant to make you cry But tonight I'm cleanin' out my closet Now I would never diss my own mama just to get recognition Take a second to listen 'fore you think this record is dissin' But put yourself in my position Just try to envision Witnessin' your mama poppin' prescription pills in the kitchen Bitchin' that someone's always goin' through hear purse and shit's missin' Goin' through public housin' systems, victim of Munchhausen's Syndrome My whole life I was made to believe I was sick when I wasn't 'Til I grew up, now I blew up, it makes you sick to your stomach, doesn't it? Wasn't it the reason you made that CD for me, ma? So you could try to justify the way you treated me, ma? But guess what? You're gettin' older now and it's cold when you're lonely And Nathan's growin' up so quick he's gonna know that you're phony And Hailie's getting' so big now You should see her, she's beautiful But you'll never see her She won't even be at your funeral See, what hurts me the most is you won't admit you was wrong Bitch, do your song Keep tellin' yourself that you was a mom But how dare you try to take what you didn't help me to get? You selfish bitch I hope you fuckin' burn in hell for this shit Remember when Ronnie died and you said you wished it was me? Well, guess what? I am dead, dead to you as can be! I'm sorry mama I never meant to hurt you I never meant to make you cry But tonight I'm cleanin' out my closet One more time I said I'm sorry mama I never meant to hurt you I never meant to make you cry But tonight I'm cleanin' out my closet (The Eminem Show, 2002)

I live with my mother , and i forgive her!

I don't want to talk bad about my mother I love her and forgiven her, but honestly I'll never forget. When this song came out when I was 21 back in 03. Gave me chills man. I kept hearing it over and over I guess slowly the pain was leaving me, idk. I'd like to say fuck my dad for the record, love you pops.

A very powerful masterpiece, the lyrics show the pain he went through in his childhood.

Legend

My man's been through some shit like us. Respect 🤟

I liked this song the first time i heared it

I got, this song, stuck in my head. Very, good song! Eminem, is a good rapper! I can relate, to his pain.

This song always puts me in a mood, brings back so many relatable memories except now the feels are even worse because nearly two decades have gone by and certain people that were in my life are now only memories and I feel so old and forgotten.

Love this song

I know he's in his 40s now but not going to lie he was hot when he was in his 20s

coming back to this cause sadly i relate to this now

Some of us don’t have the best relationship with our moms, but my goodness Eminem tells a STORYYYYYYYY here.

This is a true piece art. Probably one of the best songs ever made across all genres.

Its shocking MGK thought he could stand up to this, they dissed that guy straight to goth rock

This song hits home😢

Respect!!

The beat, it's the beat

Can’t deny his talent I think more and more the culture gaining more respect for em

PURE BRILLIANCE

My wedding song for mom.

To me Eminem is very nice and kind now and I have 10 CDs of his now so far. He is my #1 rapper Singer that I love out of all of them.

This song suddenly makes me think about the anger I held on to and still partly struggle with. Growing up with my father was never easy and I have many negative and stressful memories surrounding him. These memories and feelings can rip us apart if we let them. There's a reason I sort therapy.

Everytime I hear this song I feel like I lose the control of myself and starts to dance and sing ,and I also love that Everytime Eminem release a song he always sing about his mum

Damn Dre with that beat!!

2000:MAMA I DIDN'T MEAN TO HURT YOU I DIDN'T MEAN TO MAKE YOU CRY BUT TONIGHT IM CLEANING OUT MY CLOSET 2020:MAMA I NEVER MENT TO EFFECT YOU I DIDN'T MEAN TO MAKE YOU DIE BUT TONIGHT I'M COMING OUT MY CLOSET

It’s sad I really relate to this song now my mom ain’t shit 😂

I love this song 🎵 ❤

Takes me right back to 2002 when I was a 20 year old not knowing which direction my life was heading. 41 now and still don't know which direction my life is heading 😂

Eminem is an absolute legend...if only his childhood was better

This song is historical 🔥

Only a few can be so dead and, yet, remember that they're alive.

It’s sad most of all his song on his official channel are censored…… rare idea you own the cd, vinyl or cassette

I felt this song whole heartedly

It's a fuckin bitch how relevant this song becomes to many of our lives

Me 2 years ago: "i like this song" Mw now: "i understand this song"

And this ladies and gentlemen is how to battle your own demons

eminem is still the greatest rapper ever

I hope this song and video gives any kid who is living with abusive adults the strength and character to know, you won’t be there forever! They will be out of your lives one day. I hope it also gives them the encouragement to tell ANY trusted adult whether it be a teacher/ neighbour or someone who works in your local shop what is happening to you. Also know that YOU have potential and are a unique, special person and do not have to let any badness take over your judgement and lead you down a negative path as you get older. Look at Marshall, no doubt grew up an unhappy, unloved child, suffered with depression because of that yet he’s achieved so much and has given so much to his own children as well as been an inspiration to those of us who can understand what it’s like to have an unhappy childhood. I remember watching this video and looking over at my own mother and singing the part where he sings about it getting colder as she gets older. Of course my own mother didn’t get the hint, but guess what she’s out of my life, 7 years and counting and I couldn’t care less if I never lay eyes on her again! I choose who I want in my life and I choose positive people. Once again I just want to say that if any young person reading this is being abused in ANY way shape or form please seek HELP! And stay strong X x x x❤

AWESOME MUSIC VIDEO !!!!

I said im sorry momma, I never meant to hurt youuuu. I never meant to make you cry but tonight im cleaning out my closet!

This one still hits you emotionally when really picturing the story. I can’t get into any em music after the relapse era, but some songs like these will help his name last. The flow here was so effortless. If only he could still rap like this, but he fell off the cliff into being a wuss about guns, yet he made an entire album encore, bitching that his gun rights were taken.

Legend says hes still filling up that hole

Of course we love this song. Its been a long time since I've played it and my own son is now 26. I will say this: This man, like anyone else, should never apologise to his own mother. It's our job to protect you and give you the stability we may never have known, It's not magic and it cots us everything but that is what we do and who we are. I would never take an apology like this from my son and, as a mother, I wouldn't let Eminem say it either. Great song but I just had to say that.

Thanks

You are the real MVP my friend.

3:55 pain😓

WHAT A FUCKING MASTERPIECE

insane

Classic EM

This song was made for those that KNOW. if you had a good/great life with your mother but if you didnt youll get it. Not all moms are great.🤷🏾‍♀️

"Remember when Ronnie died and you said you'd wished it was me" I feel his feelings, that didn't happen to me but I feel how he feels cause that is harsh. Really harsh.

Eminem: Have u ever been hated or discriminated? also Eminem: F****t I still feel bad for him, I never really had a good relationship with my mom or dad and I hope everyone who listens to this song has a good future.

Love him

He a god sent aww love this

El mejor mc

I was 12years old when this song Comes out i love em

That last verse is something else
