In interviews, Eminem has said he spiraled into prescription-drug addiction after the shooting of his friend DeShaun “Proof” Holton outside a Detroit nightclub in 2006. And the album draws its most personal music out of Eminem’s struggles during this period. He awakens from a blackout in “3 a.m.” to find a room filled with bodies, and his own daughter finds him passed out in “Déjà Vu.” He doesn’t let himself off the hook, but he also can’t resist taking a few shots at his parents. His stepfather is the center of a rape-incest spew, “Insane,” over chintzy “Psycho”-like strings. And then his mother, a frequent target on his past records, gets a tongue-lashing on “My Mom.” Press Play
