Few folks, or maybe none, have been as near Eminem as Proof. Marshall’s greatest good friend, somebody supremely expert with the mic, who sadly left the world too early.

Now, on the twentieth anniversary of his passing, Eminem has shared a heartfelt message in his remembrance. Test it out under:

“Doody, can’t consider it’s been 20 years because you’ve been gone! Not a day goes by that I don’t take into consideration you indirectly, form or kind…

You had been and are nonetheless actually one of many best mates I ever had in my whole life, and I thank God every single day that he put us in one another’s lives. I really feel like that occurred for a cause.

Ever because the day I met you sitting on the steps of Osborne once I was handing out flyers and we rapped for one another, we immediately bonded that day and by no means regarded again!!

My life would by no means have taken the trajectory it took had I not met you. Thanks for all the time believing in me like I all the time believed in you!!

We had such a tremendous journey collectively, and I’ll always remember you and what you probably did for me and my vanity and confidence each time you cosigned for me at each membership and open mic we ever went to!!

Your credibility was sufficient to open folks’s minds to not choose me till they heard me, and also you had been one of many first ones who received folks to pay attention earlier than they handed any judgment!!

I like you, doody. You’ll all the time be my greatest good friend regardless of how a lot time passes, and I’ll always remember you so long as I stay!!!

Till we meet once more, my good friend, I like you, doody!!!

Love, doody”
