Why doesn't Eminem do drugs anymore?

[Chet Starr]

I totally agree

Except I think his new stuff is good, just not my cup of tea

I just can relate more if he was smoking weed and popping some pills

& screw the whole "That's so wrong to wish him to be on drugs".....If Steve Spag only made dope songs when he touched dog pussys, I would send him to the pound....In words that make sense = If it works for you, do it, it's not my life

Mike, you're wrong, and I'm gonna tell you why.

Eminem was ALWAYS on drugs. You see, back in 1997 he worked two full-time minimum wage jobs so he could make enough money to purchase drugs and still have enough left over to buy Hailie some diapers and baby food.

When he wasn't working (and sometimes when he was), he was smoking weed, taking pills, doing shrooms, drinking, dropping acid, taking ecstasy tablets, and going to tons of rave parties. If Eminem got 2 hours of sleep per night, he was good to go. Usually he skipped those two hours and pulled all-nighters so he could polish some lyrics that he wrote entirely while he was either working or crazy super high on drugs.

If you listen to Slim Shady LP, you can see that Eminem was on tons of drugs. Listen to My Fault--clearly based on a true story. And on I'm Shady he tells you what he's on, though he's lying about some things when he says he's not on them because he was too embarrassed or ashamed to admit it. I'm sure he'd done coke before at some point. It's a hell of a drug...how could he NOT have?

When Eminem went on tour, all he did was get high. He never gave a performance in his life when he wasn't high, until now.

Also, it wasn't until Proof died that Eminem's drug use got to be too much for him to control. Even then, it wasn't as serious as before...just sleeping pills/pain killers. Those are way less dangerous for you than the stuff he was taking before.

But he was really depressed and just took too much of them and had to go to the hospital for a while. When he got out he looked at his three beautiful little girls and decided he wanted to get clean for them, so he, being the wonderful father that he is, decided it was time to stop.

Also, I doubt he's totally off drugs. I mean, yeah, he probably stopped popping tons of pills, but I'm sure he still smokes some weed every now and then, and probably still has a few beers. Heck, I'm sure he still pops a valium once in a while for old time's sake. No big deal, as long as he's not overdoing it.

I dont see how u can connect his use of drugs 2 the choice of flows/ the tone of his voice. Drugs may influence creative writing as far as lyrics but thats usually caused by psychedelic shit like shrooms or to even just weed, not sleeping pills. if anything sleeping pills would make u sloppy at your work and lower one's sense of creativity.

Like a spacebound rocketship...

I hate having to post this in every other thread, but you guys will simply NEVER learn, will ya?

So, here we go again:

When Mike gets bored, he starts to troll. Usually he just posts stupid shit in different topics but lately making his own troll threads has been appealing to him.
It's always the same pattern: he praises the bullshit, drugged up Eminem from 04 - 08, critizes the shouting and dismisses Em's first three albums. Basically, he's just acting like the most retarded Stan you could imagine.
And you're giving him exactly what he wants with your reactions.

MikeNUFC is trolling!

You obviously havent heard The Re-Up. I dont see Eminem with as much emotion or rhyming on We're Back as on any song when he sober like the SSLP.

Nothin' can stop and nothin' can change it
you better just make new living arrangements,
if you think your the top and king of the castle
You about to get thrown off the throne and ripped a new asshole
All I hear is, I'm best at this an I'm best at that,
but I don't hear my name No man brought up in rap
and I don't usually trip or dare get caught up in that
but when they say one of the best, I'm nowhere thought of as that
Not even the same league as Jay-Z
Nas, Pac, Biggie or maybe they'll name me
Somewhere down at the bottom right after AZ
or say "he ripped that Biggie verse or that Jay-Z
Yo, his verses were crazy on that Renegade beat
but I ain't never bought no whole CD of Shady
And I all I hear is pop tunes come on the rad-i-o
And they play 'em 20 times in a row daily"
And that very well may be the same reason they don't say me
when they speak on hip-hop legends which has amazed me
Cause I thought the formula was to hit mainstream
and make it big-big-big-big-b-baby

That last line is incredible inverse ironical multies. Amazing stuff.
