Did Em break his back

[electroencephalogram]

I put this in here because i don't know if it's been discussed before

from Hello
And he's stumbling back, slipped and fell, hit his back bone
Heard something go crack

also in CWYWF
My back has been broke, and I can still walk (this one may just be metaphorical)

[Tranquil]

Lol, no he didnt, its just rhymes he broke his knee tho

[kevinh]

hes brain also did leak out his head
remember brain damage

[Alaine]

I heard he broke his knee

[electroencephalogram]

do you guys remember on 106 & Park where he said he'd rather keep it private what happened in that bathroom after he overdosed? I thought it might be that hailie found him, or maybe he broke his back

also, all of the third verse of Hello sounds more personal and realistic than the rest of the song. Look at the verse, we know everything he says in this verse actually happened, except for his back bone cracking hmmm

Oh, those were the days, they certainly were
It's hurtin' me to know that I'll be closin' that curtain for good
Word, word, word, word, word, word, word
I second that and a third, rushed to emergency surgery
To try to flush me because of the drugs that he purchased
He's no longer getting them free, 100 bucks for these Percodans
Plus it's getting to be where he lustfully searched the den
Pain is hitting his knee and his muscles be hurting him
Tirelessly on the phone trying to russle up, muscle relaxants
For his back, and a couple of Pax's, now he's doubling backwards
And he's stumbling back, slipped and fell, hit his back bone
Heard something go crack, Now he's up in the bathroom
Like he's busting a nap, almost ended it that soon
Because of the fact, I'm just busting my own chops
While I'm busting a rap, resuscitated and rejuved, so fuck it I'm back

Impossible to tell what really happened. I doubt he'd be walking right now if he broke his back though .

If memory serves me right...that was the night he overdosed..he was in the bathroom...he fell straight back...on top of a garbage can (the crack?) Hit his head on something...made loud noises and shit...and one of his 2 older daughters found him all fucked up and shit...and called an ambulance..
