Slim Shady has a lot of personal demons, which is what makes his music so raw and real. One of Eminem's biggest monsters - Vicondin. Matthew Cooke's new documentary delves into the world of drugs in America - and Eminem's segment is one of the most revealing, emotional moments in the film. Here's how Shady describes his gradual addiction to the prescription drug:

"When I took my first Vicodin, it was like this feeling of 'Ahh.' Like everything was not only mellow, but [I] didn't feel any pain... I don't know at what point exactly it started to be a problem. I just remember liking it more and more. People tried to tell me that I had a problem."

The iconic rapper (real name, Marshall Mathers) continues - "They look like a pill, and they're shaped like something you would take, so you take. Xanax, Valium ...all in the same family. F#ck it, take it." Shady tried to justify his addiction by convincing himself that he wasn't taking hard drugs - "I'm not out there shooting heroin. I'm not putting coke up my nose. I'm not smoking crack," he said. "You're struggling with the argument of 'Do you have a problem, or do you not have a problem? Can you control or can you not? And I literally thought I could control it."

The addiction got so intense, Eminem ultimately found himself in the hospitial, almost near death:

"Had I got to the hospital about two hours later, I would have died. My organs were shutting down. My liver, kidneys, everything. They were gonna have to put me on dialysis. They didn't think I was gonna make it. My bottom was gonna be death."

After relapsing, Shady finally kicked the abusive habit through detox. He basically had to start life over - "I had to regain motor skills, I had to regain talking skills. It's been a learning process, I'm growing. I couldn't believe that anybody could be naturally happy without being on something. So I would say to anybody, 'It does get better.'"

"How to Make Money Selling Drugs" was widely released in April 2013. An IMDb description of the film reads:

Ten easy steps show you how to make money from drugs, featuring a series of interviews with drug dealers, prison employees, and lobbyists arguing for tougher drug laws.

Fellow rapper 50 Cent is an integral part of the documentary (he used to sell crack in his South Jamaica Queens neighborhood before becoming a big rap star).

Do fans think material on Shady's new album will delve into this dark world of drugs and addiction?
