“You’re the reason I had to self-medicate,” he adds. “I almost lost my fucking career, my fucking family, my life.”
“Life’s been great since you’ve been gone,” Marshall concludes, encouraging Slim to learn from the therapy that he has had as he also acknowledges that they are both responsible for his success.
“We both made Eminem,” he tells him. “He’s the best of both of us.”
Slim responds by earnestly using all of the so-called “therapy talk” that often gets used against Eminem. He says: “My bad, dog, I sometimes get triggered, man. It’s like I’m obviously just wracked with imposter syndrome, overcompensating with misplaced aggression.”
“I needed this trauma-bonding shit to fucking help me protect my peace,” he concludes. “No one understands how fucking toxic it is to always be the bad guy.”
