“Had I gotten to the hospital about two hours later, I would have been dead,” said the Detroit rapper. “My organs were shutting down … They didn’t think I was gonna make it.” Eminem reveals his near death experience, but admits it wasn’t enough.

“My bottom was going to be death, and within a month I had relapsed and shot right back up to the same amount of drugs I was taking.”  He continues, “I’m not out there shooting heroin. I’m not putting coke up my nose. I’m not smoking crack,” says Eminem in the film.  “You’re struggling with the argument of ‘Do you have a problem, or do you not have a problem? Can you control or can you not? And I literally thought I could control it.”

He explained that falling into drug use was easy. He admitted that he would take whatever was given to him. “They look like a pill, and they’re shaped like something you would take. Xanax, Valium ..all in the same family. F*** it, take it.”

Eminem had a hard road to recovery, where he says he had to regain basic motor and speech skills. He noted that he stayed up for three weeks straight. His advice for recovering addicts, “So I would say to anybody that it does get better. You know, it just does.”

Chris rocked posted a picture of himself with rapper Eminem while in the studio and then went on to say in an interview that he was going to be featured on his next album…sort of!

While he wouldn’t say anything at first about what the two have been doing together, Chris is finally talking, a little. The comedian has posted the picture that is posted below on his Twitter account captioning it with, “In the studio with Em don’t sleep.” He was then interviewed on May 4, 2013 and teased the world and rap fans further.

Chris Rock’s Interview Dialog, Talking About Possibly Appearing On Eminem’s Anticipated 2013 Album

So is Chris on the album? Well, he remained pretty hush hush when he showed up on Fuse TV’s United States of Hip Hop one week after posting that picture.

When asked about what they were doing in the studio and if he was going to be featured on the Eminem record, he said:

“Uh, I can’t really say. Hey, hey, I was on the Kanye [West] record – maybe I’m on the Eminem record. You never know. Then when the interviewer joked that Eminem looked younger in that photo Chris said, “Yeah, yeah, but money does that, I’m 65, man! Money is the best lotion in the world.” 

Dr. Dre on Eminem’s New Album

Dr Dre won’t say a word about the new album either while also being interviewed the other day. All he would say was, “Em is finishing up his project. And for me, man, I’ve just gotten inspired again to go back into the studio, so I’m just really having fun with life and having fun with being creative.” This will be Eminem’s eighth album, Dr. Dre did say that Eminem was almost finished with this new album and that rapper Big Sean will be on the album.

Rap icon Eminem will release his new album later this year. And as far as Chris Rock being featured on it, we’ll just have to wait and see!

Slim Shady’s been keeping a low profile lately, with virtually no updates regarding his upcoming studio album and now we know why; the rapper has been busy working with other up and coming artists on their own projects. Now that Eminem has finished work on Slaughterhouse’s new LP Welcome to: Our House he will take over as executive producer on the major-label debut by vocalist Skylar Grey.

The first single for the new album, “C’mon Let Me Ride”  is scheduled for release on December 11^th and will feature Eminem and be produced by Alex Da Kid. The two first teamed up while Eminem was working on Recovery and have been together musically ever since. “I was blown away with her talent as both a songwriter and vocalist. This album is really going to give her a chance to connect with the fans who probably know her music, but might not know her yet,” he said. “I think they will be as impressed as I am.”

Originally titled Invincible, Don’t Look Down is expected to be released next Spring and Grey credits Eminem for all of his support on the project. “Putting out a debut album is a bit scary- I want it to be just right so I took some extra time to finish it. Eminem’s increased involvement has been such a blessing; I’m getting guidance from an artist I really admire and trust. Having written many new songs, the album has become a completely different animal, hence the title change. This new single with Em, in particular, is very exciting. We have worked on so many serious songs together – it’s a nice change of pace to do something fun and sarcastic.”

“C’mon Let Me Ride’s” release will be accompanied by a music video that just wrapped filming in Detroit last week.
