Near-death experience Scared rapper straight

- 

RAP icon Eminem reveals that a near-fatal drug overdose was the wake-up call that finally inspired him to get sober after years of drug addiction.

The Slim Shady rapper, 52, was in such bad condition after the OD that his manager, Paul Rosenberg, was afraid he had suffered brain damage. Not only was it unclear if he would ever record another album, but he also struggled to relearn how to walk, talk and even rap again.
