Eminem Spoke About Mental Health
Eminem spoke about his mental health rapping history on SiriusXM’s Sway in the Morning.
The Detroit legend talked about his willingness to address mental health in his music while speaking to Sway Calloway. Eminem advocated rap as a therapeutic outlet.
“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,” he said before a pause in the conversation.
He added, “It’s therapeutic and that’s how it’s always been for me.”
Eminem also paid tribute to Westside Boogie’s new album More Black Superheroes, released Friday, June 17.
“But with this album, with this new Boogie album – the title, everything is f######, everything’s great,” he told Sway. “And it’s like watching him just keep getting better and better and better is incredible too. And he ‘s got so much of his life weaved in this album. You know what I’m saying? Like, I think that it’s therapeutic.”

Green talked about his collaboration with legendary rapper Em. “Me and Eminem have been friends for years, I’ve longed for an opportunity to work with him,”
“He said, ‘Hey man can you do this for me? I need it really quickly, I need it tonight.’ So when Eminem says he needs something tonight, you deliver.”
