I think that’s one of the great things about rap music is that, you know, you could put so much of your life in it. It’s therapeutic and that’s how it’s always been for me.

Eminem also recently admitted to stealing from black music on his latest single. The most popular white MC in hip-hop is frequently accused of appropriating Black culture. Eminem’s latest drop, “The King & I,” is a collaboration with CeeLo Green.

Eminem even made Ceelo Green work hard for good reason. The song will be used on Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis Presley biopic’s soundtrack. Check out the video of Eminem talking about his mental health below.
