Eminem was in his prime around the time he signed 50 Cent.. he stopped caring so much about his music and saw 50 taking over the game. Did Em feel threatened by this? Is that why he tried to mimic him by wearing du rags and tried to be appeal to 50's base? If he hadn't done that he might of stayed true to his style. I think when 50 blew up Eminem felt like he had to try to keep up with him and it ended up pressuring him and he got on drugs and made Encore. He even replaced Proof as Em's best friend and Proof was the one who drove Eminem to greatness but instead he blew him off for 50 Cent which led to Proof being killed. Without 50 Cent Eminem would of never fell off imo.
