Eminem sits down with CNN to speak on facing his drug addiction demons.
“It took me awhile to admit I actually did have a problem,” the musician said. “In the hip-hop world that I live in, it can be mistaken for weakness and the last thing you want to do in hip-hop is admit that you’re weak. But if I didn’t admit I was weak with this certain thing I was going to die.”
When asked how close he was to death, the artist responded that he “was certainly a couple of hours away from death,” adding that he “overdosed and almost died.”
The full interview can be seen on Showbiz Tonight this Tuesday at 5PM EST on HLN.

Not even in Hip-Hop just in real life it takes alot of guts for a man to admit their weak. Props to Eminem on this.
@timothycarter – I can tell you haven’t heard the album because he’s not talking about any of the things you listed.
I’m glad to see Em back in his purest form, a lyrical beast.
LMAO, i just drank a dr pepper =O
‘Put you back on them drugs, make you suicidal’…We’ll see if hes got the balls to respond to Bis or was the line true: ‘No more target practice on retarded actors & pop stars. Marshall you’re not hard!’
