Eminem is a statistic. He is one of 3.3 million people in the United States living with OCD, short for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. At least that’s what he claims in a Genius annotation that he made today (May 18) to his song “The Monster.”
The line Eminem refers to is, “Cause the very thing that I love’s killing me / And I can’t conquer it / My OCD is conking me in the head.”
In the official annotation, Slim Shady says, “I really do have O.C.D. it’s not funny bitch.”
OCD is an anxiety disorder characterized by strict repetitive behavior that results from obsessions causes by stress.
Eminem added 14 total annotations today, including sharing his opinion on the hook to the Southpaw track “Phenomenal.”
“Everyone said the chorus was wack to this song,” he says, “but I was just trying 2 be phenomenal and get my sing on.”
In another “Phenomenal” note, he addresses the rumors of potential titles for his next album, based on the play of his name and the word “empower.”
“I don’t know why people have suggested I name my next album Empower or Empart…” he says. “This has been said to me so many times over the years. If I were to name an album with such a stupid play on my name it obviously should be called Empanada…”
These annotations add to the Detroit rapper’s previous notes for “Kings Never Die,” “Cleanin’ Out My Closet” and 42 that he did a year ago.

phenomal hook was so dope. best hook he did in a while imo

He must not be ocd enough because he hasn’t dropped a good album in 14 years
Your if think hasn’t dropped a good album in 14 years only one was questionable which was right before his 4 year hiatus before dropping relapse he as 15 Grammys and academy award and has sold over 80 million albums worldwide making I’m number one selling hip-hop artist of all time
Make that 90 million albums
Man he hasn’t had a good album since the eminem show.
Still hoping the next album is SSLP2
And anxiety disorders suck….
No because the MMLP2 didnt live up to the original
I do not know why people cant use proper english. I have loved eminem since the real slim shady. You dont have to act like a gangster or a hard ass to chat people. My son love’s when im gone, he sings and its pretty damn cool he knows it word for word and he is only 7. Just remember people dont have to act like your bad just know that you are. I should know I survived cancer and that to me makes me the strongest man alive.
So you make a comment beginning with, “I do not know why people cant use proper english,” yet in that sentence alone there are two grammatical errors. English is a proper noun and should be capitalized and you forgot the apostrophe in “can’t”. Just to name a few more, there is also the apostrophe again in “don’t”, and there’s an unnecessary apostrophe in “love’s”. Also again, proper nouns get capitalized, like all his songs you named. When I’m Gone. you forgot the apostrophe there too. Once again, the same problem one sentence later with “it’s”. Then you forgot it another sentence after that in “don’t”. One last thing to leave you with. I commend you on surviving your battle with cancer, but you aren’t the strongest man alive, Brian Shaw is.
I feel ya em having OCD sucks not like im some cleaning freak or anything but whenever i do anything or put myself into anything i just obsess over it being perfect and consistent everytime feel stressed out and shit if i cant get it right like something tearing my hair out or pulling at me
Is super:-)
Eminem is the best
