After an accidental methadone overdose that halted his increasingly popular career in 2007, Eminem finally details the treacherous journey he embarked on to reclaim his potential and “relearn” how to write and compose the same high-quality verses and prose that characterized the launch of his stellar career without any future reliance on methadone.
Eminem revisited his mistaken overdose fifteen years later during Paul Rosenberg’s, his longtime manager ever since Eminem’s initial debut in 1997, daily podcast entitled Paul Pod, and discussed in depth how happy he was that he had the opportunity to learn how to make music again without artificial influence and truly have fun doing so. When asked about his comeback album at the time, 2009’s accurately titled album Relapse, Eminem stated that “I remember when I first got sober, and all the shit was out of my system, I remember just being, like, really happy and everything was fucking new to me again.”
According to Consequence.com, Eminem had some difficulty regaining his former talent and that it “took a long time for my brain to start working again,” with Rosenberg even expressing concerns that Eminem might have permanent brain damage when listening to Eminem’s initial tries.
All of this shows that Eminem’s return to fame was not as easy as the esteemed rapper made it seem. To him, learning how to rap once again without using substances seemed like a “whole different experience” as Eminem describes feeling like he was starting his music career from scratch.
