When it comes to his drug addiction, Eminem has used his music to address what he went through. First, Eminem poked fun at it with Relapse and he planned to continue poking fun with Relapse 2. But, interference from his label led to Eminem deciding to go a different, serious, route with Recovery.

Eminem addressed his drug use and how he overcame the addiction. Returning for back-to-back albums, Eminem released hit singles on top of each other. After taking over the rap game, once again, Eminem returned to the background of the game and 2013 is his projected comeback year.

Matthew Cooke is behind a new documentary, How to Make Money Selling Drugs, which features interviews with many of the biggest names in hip hop. 50 Cent, Freeway Ricky Ross, Russell Simmons, and Eminem are among the people who sit down for interviews. In Eminem’s segment, he spoke on how he almost died from an overdose in 2005.
