Eminem has been open about his struggles with drugs and how they affected his life. One of the more touching moments of his latest album, The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce), has been the open-hearted “Somebody Save Me”. Em raps an apology letter to the children whose many firsts he missed due to his addiction to drugs. Tennessee-born Jelly Roll provides the cry for help that forms the chorus.
In the video, Eminem delivers his apologies as a recovered man looking back on what he put others through. There are moments of anger when he’s standing over a passed out younger Slim Shady venting his emotions. It’s clear that Marshall Mathers has regret over the actions of Eminem and Slim Shady but seems to be in a much better place today.
