50 Cent, ”Black Magic”le gerçekten rap müziğe dönecekmi..?
Eminem rap müziğini bırakmayı ciddi olarak düşünüyor.
Alkol ve uyuşturucu problemleri nedeniyle bir süredir müzikten ayrı kalan Eminem, yeni hiti ‘Love the Way You Lie’ ile yakaladığı başarıdan memnun. Sanatçının yeni albümü ‘Recovery’ Billboard Hot 100 listesinde 1 numaraya yerleşti.
Vibe dergisine yaptığı açıklamada şöyle dedi, “Hip-hop müziğini her zaman seveceğim. Ama ne kadar daha bu müziği yapacağımı bilmiyorum. Tam bir cevap veremiyorum. Yaptığım albüm bir öncekinden kötü olduğuna kesin karar verdiğim an bırakma vaktim elmiş olacak. Hayranlarım artık olmuyor diyebilir. Onların beni ne kadar daha isteyeceklerini bilmiyorum. Tüm bunların yanı sıra rap yapmadığımda da ne yapacağımı bilmiyorum.”
Eminem Vibe dergisine verdiği yeni röportajında ölüm konsunu gereğinden fazla düşünmeye başladığını açıkladı.
“Evet, çok düşünüyorum .Düşünmemeye çalışıyorum ama engel olamıyorum ve bu beni çok korkutuyor. Beni korkutuyor çünkü uyuşturucu yüzünden hastahaneye 2 saat geç gitseydim şimdi ölmüş olacaktım. Bunu çok düşünüyorum. Yatağa her girdiğimde bunu düşünüyorum ve gerçekten korkuyorum”.
8 Mile filminde rol aldığı Brittany Murphy’nin ani ölümünün de kendini derinden etlilediğini söyleyen yıldız şöyle devam ediyor “Çok garip bir olay. Çok yakın bir arkadaşımdı ve çok iyi bir insandı. Hollywood’da bu tip olayları görmek beni derinen etkiliyor”
Eminem’e göre ünlü biri olmak da problemin bir parçası.
“Etrafım ünlü olmak isteyen Hollywood doktorlarıyla dolu. beni sık sık arayıp ‘Merhaba Marshall! Yeni bir reçeteye ihtiyacın var mı?’ diye soruyorlar. Sırf beni tedavi edip ünlerini arttırmak için”

Eminem has been candid about battling drug addiction in cover stories in XXL and Vibe. Now, in an interview with Detroit’s Metro Times, the rapper reveals what pop star helped him cope during his rehab.
“I talk to Elton [John] a lot. We became friends, and I talk to him about things, career-wise,” Eminem said. “And he had a substance-abuse problem in the past. So when I first wanted to get sober, I called him and spoke to him about it, because, you know, he’s somebody who’s in the business and can identify and relate to the lifestyle and how hectic things can be. He understands, like, the pressure and any other reasons that you wanna come up with for doing drugs.
“Me and him have had similar lives and stuff,” Em continued. “So I reached out to him and told him, ‘Look, I’m going through a problem, and I need your advice.’ I also talked to T.I. a lot and, you know, we exchange advice.”
Eminem offered a candid take on the recent events in his life. Although he faced a litany of challenges since his last solo album, from his addiction to the passing of his friend Proof, Em didn’t deliver one big sob story. He was funny, of course, but also conflicted during the conversation.
About Bill O’Reilly, the conservative talking head who lashed out against Em’s “We Made You” video, the rapper said, “Um, well, that guy’s a turd. I don’t know of a better way to put it than to just say he’s a turd.”
Em was surprisingly open about his decision to dis Jessica Simpson in “We Made You.” His own weight gain wasn’t the reason he showed some compassion, however. Turns out Slim Shady is a Cowboys fan and he didn’t want to upset Simpson’s boyfriend, Dallas quarterback Tony Romo.
“I’ve always wanted people to be able to look back at each video and go, ‘Oh, remember what was going on at that moment?’ You know what I mean? ‘Oh, that’s when Jessica Simpson got fat. Oh, OK!’ ” Em said. “And even if she gets thin again, that’s fine. But for that moment in time, she was fat. But then I started thinking, like, ‘Man!’ I was telling [manager] Paul [Rosenberg] and everyone around me, ‘Man, I don’t wanna piss Tony Romo off and he starts throwing games for the Cowboys!’ ”
‘It’s the best song out of that batch that I did when I wasn’t sober,’ Em tells Vibe of the melancholy track.
Eminem has gone on record about his battle with drug addiction in interviews with Vibe and XXL magazines recently. Now, the rapper’s song “Beautiful,” which premiered on iTunes on Tuesday (May 12), paints a vivid picture of the struggle he went through during his hiatus from hip-hop.
It’s one of the most heartfelt recordings in Eminem’s career. The song appears on his upcoming album, Relapse, due May 19. In his first-person narrative in Vibe, Em said the song is the only one he kept from the recordings he made during that dark period in his life. He’s been sober for a year now, he said.
“There’s only one song on the record that I produced. It’s a track called ‘Beautiful,’ ” he said in the magazine’s June issue. “And one of the only reasons that I put that track on there is that I feel like it’s the best song out of that batch that I did when I wasn’t sober. At the time I felt like, ‘This is it for me.’ I wrote the first verse and a half in rehab, and when I came out, I finished it. It was the only song that marks that period without bringing me back to that place. Every other track not only didn’t fit with the album, but when I listened to it, it would bring up bad memories.”
The melancholy song samples Rock Therapy’s “Reaching Out” and features Em revisiting his decisions over the past few years and how his life spiraled out of control.
“I’m just so f—ing depressed, I just can’t seem to get out of this slump/ If I could just get over this hump/ But I need something to pull me out this dump,” he raps on the track.
Five years. An eon in rap time.
That’s how long it’s been since Marshall Mathers III, 36, released a proper album. During his absence, rumors have swirled around Detroit’s favorite son: One of the best-selling and most beloved MCs of all-time was supposedly finished. An addict. Lost his gift. Not hot anymore.
And in those five years much has changed: Eminem’s best friend DeShaun “Proof” Holton was murdered in April 2006. Em married his high school sweetheart, Kim Scott, for the second time in 2006, but divorced her again three months later. In 2008, his mother, Debbie Nelson, released a tell-all, My Son Marshall, My Son Eminem: Setting the Record Straight On My Life As Eminem’s Mother (Phoenix).He released his autobiography, The Way I Am (Dutton, 2008), but, even then, wasn’t prepared to face his demons. Today he lives just outside of Detroit with his daughter, Hailie Jade, his niece Alaina, and other members of his extended family. On the eve of his return to the game and the release of his fifth album, Relapse (Aftermath/Interscope), Slim Shady is back—and finally ready to address the rumors once and for all.
I’ve come clean with some things to my family and to my friends, and I think it’s probably time for me to come clean with my fans, too. First of all, I’m gay…. Nah, just kidding.
It’s no secret I had a drug problem. I just don’t think my fans knew how bad it was. When I went to rehab in 2005 I went in for a sleep problem, or I guess a sleep problem is what I thought it was. But it was a drug problem and I wasn’t ready to admit it. I was taking Valium, Ambien, and Vicodin. And I was taking a lot. If I was to give you a number of Vicodin I would actually take in a day? Anywhere between 10 to 20. Valium, Ambien, the numbers got so high I don’t even know what I was taking. I barely made it through that Anger Management 3 tour [Summer 2005]. I got by on the skin of my teeth. I had a rehab doctor that was seeing me through to where I could just take enough to not get sick and be able to sleep at night. The whole idea was, Get me through the tour, through these last couple of weeks, and then I’ll check myself in.
When I went into rehab everyone else was ready for me to go, but I wasn’t. Rehab was a really bad experience for me. Just being a celebrity and shit, I felt like a fish out of water. It was like, I don’t have a problem. Everybody else has a problem. I’m a grown man, I should be able to do what I wanna do. That’s the things that addicts go through in their mind. I stayed in rehab for probably two weeks—then I checked myself out.
Needless to say, I relapsed. I started taking Vicodin the week after I got home, so I was probably clean for three weeks. Then I started back with the NyQuil. I had a problem with NyQuil even though it’s an over-the-counter thing, it’s a serious trigger for me. I’d try to knock myself out but sometimes if you drink too much it would have the reverse effect and keep you up. So I’m right back on the phone with the dopeman trying to get Valium or whatever I could to sleep.
The problem was bad already, but when the Proof thing happened, it got really bad. It’s not an excuse to use drugs, but man, if I ever had a reason…. It was an excuse for me to just say, Fuck it. I just went all out with it. It got worse and worse to the point where I was getting it from anywhere I could. I had friends—or so-called friends—that were using the same shit that I was. They’d give me shit and I’d stockpile it.
So one day, this was right before Christmas of 2007, I got ahold of some pills. Somebody gave me some pills that were blue and they were shaped like Vicodin. I went to him looking for anything with codeine in it—Tylenol 3s, 4s, but they gave me these blue pills. They told me, Take these, these are just like Vicodin, only they’re easier on your liver. I remember taking one in the car on the way home, and I was like, Whoa, this is fuckin’ great. I didn’t even ask what it was. I’m like, This makes you mellow and it’s easier on your liver? I got a new drug of choice.
Within a day or two I was back askin’ for more. This time I probably got 15 to 20 of ’em. I think that day I took half. Toward the evening, I remember not being able to get out of bed. I literally couldn’t move. People said that I was actin’ weird that day—actin’ real slow and shit.
I think I slept from 3 in the afternoon ’til 10 o’clock. That’s when I remember waking up and I couldn’t move. I was like, Fuck it, I’ll just lay here. I woke up the next day at noon. I literally slept all the way from 3, 4 in the afternoon ’til noon the next day.
So I get up and I’m like, Okay well, I’m straight…I’m gonna take more. I took half the first day, then I took another half the second day. And the last thing I remember is trying to use the bathroom. I remember standing up to take a piss and I just fell over backward. Smack my back on the trash can, break the trash can. And I get up again, and this time I fall over the other way, to the side. I remember that the bathroom floor was cold. And I remember trying to crawl over to a rug. I got to the rug, and that’s the last thing that I remember. There are some things I have to keep to myself when telling this part of the story for personal reasons.
I woke up in the hospital. The doctor told me those mysterious new pills were methadone, which is used to wean heroin addicts off dope. Had I known it was methadone, I probably wouldn’t have taken it. But as bad as I was back then, I can’t even say 100 percent for sure.
I wasn’t only depressed about Proof, I was depressed about my music in general. All I was taking was downers, strictly sedatives. My mood made my music depressing. And in turn, the depressing music made my mood depressed. My brain was thinking slow. My flow, my cadence, everything was just slow. Every record that I made was, Woe is me, and my life is so fucked and everything is wrong….
I overdosed, and I was in the hospital for a week detoxing. My doctor told me the amount of methadone I’d taken was equivalent to shooting up four bags of heroin. Even when they told me I almost died, it didn’t click. I was pretty much in a coma for two days. All I remember was just peacefully sleeping and waking up in the hospital like, What the fuck is going on? There’s tubes in me, there’s all kinds of shit in me.
When you’re told you almost died, in an addict’s brain, this particular addict was thinking, Well I didn’t die, so I’m okay. WHEW! I got lucky. Thank you, God. God, please just please get me through this and I’ll never use again. But lo and behold…
The official word was I had pneumonia. Thing is, I really did have pneumonia; I had taken so many pills that my immune system wasn’t functioning right. They told me that if I’d gotten to the hospital two hours later, I would have died, because I fucked my kidneys and liver up so bad. My kidneys had almost completely shut down. They were ready to put me on dialysis.
Now I’m in the hospital over Christmas, so my girls have waited to open presents. They’re waiting for Dad to get back home. I didn’t wanna scare them any more than I already did and obviously I felt horrible about the situation. I detoxed for a week, which wasn’t enough. I was home for a day. The next day I ended up having a seizure from withdrawals.
I never had a seizure before. It almost felt like an out-of-body type of thing. I was sitting there eating a piece of chicken and I felt weak, almost too weak to pick up the piece of chicken. And the next thing I know I’m on the floor; the ambulance was there to get me. Anyway, I go back to the hospital, because they said I hadn’t detoxed safely. But this hospital wasn’t as private about my business. That’s when the rumors started floatin’ around about a possible overdose.
In the new issue of Vibe, Marshall certifies Capo’s gangsta:
“Especially within the last year, I feel like I’ve literally been in the Bat cave with Dre for nine months. But I can tell you, T.I.’s album Paper Trail was fuckin’ incredible. I’ve listened to it ever since it came out. That and Exit 13, LL’s new album, I started getting into that. Jim Jones is dope. ”
Wow, didn’t see that one coming. Although for year’s I’ve been saying, Harlem: Diary of A Summer >

The iconic MC tells Vibe magazine in its forthcoming issue that during a relapse, he overdosed on pills he acquired from an “acquaintance” and almost became one of music’s greatest casualties.
“My doctor told me those mysterious new pills were methadone, which is used to wean heroin addicts off dope,” he told the mag in its forthcoming “Real Rap” issue.
“Had I known it was methadone, I probably wouldn’t have taken it. But as bad as I was back then, I can’t even say 100 percent for sure. My doctor told me the amount of methadone I’d taken was equivalent to shooting up four bags of heroin. Even when they told me I almost died, it didn’t click.”
Em admitted to the publication that he was an addict and through his uncontrolled dependence, he began to identify with his mother, with whom he’s had several public battles over the last decade.
“It’s no secret I had a drug problem,” he said. “If I was to give you a number of Vicodin I would actually take in a day? Anywhere between 10 to 20. Valium, Ambien, the numbers got so high I don’t even know what I was taking.”
After suffering a knee injury that required surgery, he was not prescribed painkillers, which led him to search his house for drugs he’d hidden.
“I started looking around my house to see if I had a stash box of Vicodin,” he said. “I’m ransacking my house, finally find something in the basement, in a little napkin, seven and a half Vicodin — the big extra-strength ones — and a few Valium.” He relapsed, and soon admitted he was an addict.
“It never once hit me that drug addiction runs in my family,” he said. “Now that I understand that I’m an addict, I definitely have compassion for my mother. I get it.”
Eminem told the magazine that he’s been sober for a year, and that making his forthcoming LP, Relapse, due May 19 — from which “Old Time’s Sake,” a new song featuring Dr. Dre, leaked today (Monday May 4) — “I wanted to make an overall statement — I’m back. It was a slow process. You gotta remember I hadn’t recorded a song sober in seven years. So it took me awhile to even feel like I could record a song sober … I don’t know the last time I shot a video sober, without drinking or taking anything. It’s been years.
“I almost feel like a little kid again with rap,” he continued. “I wanna play around with different flows. If I don’t feel like it’s what I’m fully capable of, if there’s one weak line, I wanna change it. Rap was my drug. It used to get me high and then it stopped getting me high. Then I had to resort to other things to make me feel that. Now rap’s getting me high again.”
