yeah but at the time he was 30+. like 90% of the people have lost someone really close by the time they are 30-40. its just how life goes. i think drugs really put him down.

Whenever the convo about Em's rehab and addiction comes around, I wonder why all the people around him let him go that much deep into it.
Dr. Dre, 50, Paul, the whole D12, Obie and so on. Around Em so many people managed to get famous or get recognition and nobody saw it or helped him.
Like when Encore was put together and about to be released how come nobody saw the tremendous change in him. How come Dre didn't see that something is extremely wrong or out of the hand. If someone goes from TES to singing about his d-ck in all the 3/4 of the songs something strange must be going on. How Encore was released is also beyond me. Why didn't they scratch it like they later did with King Mathers. I think most people just wanted to milk the situation so badly that they couldn't think straight.

They should re-marry again.

I guess songs like Mockingbird were the kind of father Em wanted to be but, at the time of his addiction, he wasn't able to be.

It's a shame that Em didn't wait until he was sober to remarry her.

When you think about it, you can kinda excuse 50 and the other artists. I can see pretty much all of them were intimidated by Eminem in terms of rapping and popularity.
But the thing with Dre is very iffy. Dre,the perfectionist and the executive producer of the last album didn't say anything to him. Like could Eminem been so big that even Dre turned into an yesman? The whole Encore situation is very interesting. Em needs to rap about it tbh

Exactly. The whole Encore/Curtain Call time period would be an interesting topic for him to address on his next album, especially since it's exactly ten years later now.
