Hailie Jade Smith, the daughter of Eminem, has been candid about the feelings she has when listening to her father’s music.
Hailie Jade Smith, the daughter of Eminem, has stated that she finds it difficult to listen to some of her father’s songs without crying. Smith talked about Eminem’s new song Somebody Save Me on an episode of her podcast Just a Little Shady. She acknowledged that the music video was really difficult, and even after seeing it “in full,” she wasn’t sure whether she could do it again.
“I cry every time I hear it at all,” Smith remarked of the Jelly Roll-starring music video. From there and ‘Temporary’… I believe I wept aloud during both songs, but especially during “Temporary.”
‘The older I get, the less I can listen to any of the songs’
Smith continued praising her parents and thinking back to her childhood at her father’s home. “However, after seeing the film again and hearing the music, I feel like my parents did such a great job raising me that I was unaware of how horrible things were,” the woman remarked. But looking back as an adult, it’s really unsettling to consider. And I believe that’s the reason I feel so emotional at the mere thought of it happening.
She continued, “Obviously that’s the song’s purpose, but if you’ve ever lost a loved one or an addict, I feel for you.”
The 28-year-old Smith said that she also had trouble listening to some of Eminem’s earlier tracks. She remarked, “I can’t even listen to ‘Mockingbird’ anymore without crying.”
Smith said, “The older I get, the fewer songs I can listen to.” “However, watching [old family] videos is entertaining, even though it’s not in that setting.”
Eminem disclosed in 2021 that he had to relearn how to rap at one point because to his severe addiction. He supposedly became so terrible that he created a song in 2009 in which he made reference to Rihanna’s 2009 domestic abuse episode with Chris Brown. In 2019, the song was discovered online.
Later, in an interview with Gray Rizzy of SiriusXM, Eminem said that he had “zero recollection” of the verse. He said that he was only relearning how to rap and put some rhymes together.
“I made that statement, and it was incorrect. It was really foolish. You know, I used drugs a lot of the time when I was initially learning how to rap again, especially with the ‘Relapse’ song situation that I went through and having to relearn a lot of things, that was one of those things that it was like, ‘Well, if it rhyme, say it,’” Eminem added.
