“This sh*ts crazy. So I wrote some s**t down tonight that I’m never going to f**kin’ remember, so I had to read it off the paper and sh*t, but it’s from the heart,” Eminem said. “I realize what an honor it is right now for me to be up here tonight, and what a privilege it is to do the music that I love, and the music that basically saved my life.”
