Drug Ballad by Eminem Song Info
Slim tells us about his love/hate relationship with alcohol, solvents, ecstasy, and who knows what else. Basically any substance he can cram in to his body, a ballet that continued until 2008, when he left rehab and embarked on sobriety. From Eminem’s book Angry Blonde: "'This song is just another one of those tracks that we did one day just fucking around. I wrote the rhyme in about twenty minutes. All three verses. The hook was simple. I hummed Jeff the bass line. I wanted to touch on how last year I was always fucked up. Life was like a big party for me. It was the first year that I blew up and I did a lot of celebrating.'" In the clean version of the album, the word “drug” was removed from the title.
