Before rocking the Staples Center in L.A. last night, Eminem spoke to CNN’s Showbiz Tonight on how his drug addiction nearly led to him kicking the bucket.
“It took me awhile to admit I actually did have a problem,” the musician said. “In the hip-hop world that I live in, it can be mistaken for weakness and the last thing you want to do in hip-hop is admit that you’re weak. But if I didn’t admit I was weak with this certain thing I was going to die.”
OKAY I THINK WE ALL KNOW THIS STORY BY NOW…..WHY THE FUCK IS CNN ASKING OLD DUMB ASS QUESTIONS, ASK HIM ABOUT HIS ALBUM AND THE BONUS TRACKS OR SOMETHING. HIS OTHER PROJECTS, D12 MIXTAPE, HIS PERFORMANCES WITH JAY Z, WORKING WITH THE PEOPLE ON HIS ALBUM….BUT THE SAME OL DRUG STORY….HE’S OFF THAT!! AND WE ARE TOO!
keep it real marshall
Live Life to the fullest….. Damn Glad he pulled through his addidction….Recovery June 21 Bitches!!!!
@Foots

I KNOW IM JUST SPEAKING IN GENERAL
glad eminem overcome this, shows how strong he is.
Recovery could easily be album of the year, shit is incredible
It was probably hard to get off them drugs and it’s good that he got clean because he could of ended up like DMX.
@ultrakid. Smh u are rite
Imagine he died? No recovery, no summer..
@Ultrakid
True Shit. Never thought of it like that

“i dont wanna make this an intense moment”
cute.
CNN is like that middle aged white person sayin’ “Bling Bling” like it’s still the year 2000 or that one lame white person with Flo Rida’s “Low” as their ringtone 3 years later…We’ve all heard this shit before, CNN, where tha fuck u been? Oh yeah, somewhere shittin’ on Obama like usual…smh…
damn its crazy lookin back how he started out a rap beast fell into depression n drugs round 06 pulled through n came back n killed it just as good as back then with recovery…damn
Em’s career has definatly been a roller coaster, just shows you how talented he is, usually when an artist goes through all that, If there lucky enough to survive, they tell you aout it on their “Behind the Music” special because there career is in shambles………Em went through the ups and downs and still just released a platinum single and a highly anticipated album thats already #2 on Itunes from pre-order sales……….Very Rare, I hope he’s grateful for it because it dont happen for very many Artists period
Like with actors, Robert Downey Jr is that rare actor who got all drugged out and came back with a relevant career, most wind up like christian slater, lol
Good you admitted the drug problem.Support real Hip Hop on monday and buy Recovery^^,
Thats Ok Eminem u R only human as we all R nobodies perfect we all are aloud to make mistake the only thing that is ask of us is that we learn and move forward not backwards !
does this guy stfu? stop complaining like a lil bitch it was kim and hailey and u mom now that u ran out of things to say its this shit
^fuck off
@ewtwetwe You dumbass he was asked a question
@Acapella……..i couldnt have said it better myself dude, hahahah thats fuckin hilarious…..
@Mack attack…..”no recovery…..no summer” hahaha love it.
It’s great that Em is one the people lucky enough to make it out the other end of their addiction. Hopefully (I’m sure), the clarity has brought some peace to his life. I really hope stays on the right path because there are very few people that have a gift like his. …
… Now when will the interviewers stop drilling Em with all the addiction talk and get back to the music? Sure it was a good topic when Relapse came out because the album and the addiction suited each other. But now that’s old news (especially for the stans).
What a weak pussy…haha
The dark side of the entertainment industry is what sells papers.
