I Need a Doctor

A new song by one of my favorite artists. Eminem has made so many unforgettable songs and just came out with another thats been stuck playing in my head for days now. Its got such a catchy beat and I love how he incorporates a lighter tone in his music. Instead of most other rap artists, he doesn't just have a hard beat going the whole time while he raps quickly to the beat he's dropping. At the beginning of the song and at the chorus he has a female voice to play harmony to his fast paced rhymes.
This whole song is about Eminem's mentor, basically the father of his music. Dr. Dre. His whole career was started by Dr. Dre and he owes his fame to Dre. In 1996 Dr. Dre signed Eminem to his record label, Aftermath Entertainment. Eminem soon exploded onto the music scene and quickly became a well known rapper. For many years Eminem has been constantly putting out new music and keeping his name afloat in the sea of the industry.


Finally, during all of his years as a famous musician he came out with this song supporting the founder of his fame. Dr. Dre is said to be coming out with a new CD and Eminem incorporates this in his song. He mentions Dre being his biggest help in getting his feet off the ground and sings, "All I know is you came to me when I was at my lowest. You picked me up, breathed new life in me. I owe my life to you." attributing his success to Dre. But when he says, "You saved my life, now maybe it's my time to save yours." he is explaining that he will help Dr. Dre with the problems he is facing in making his producing his own music.
I love this song for its beat, the rhymes, and the fact that eminem is trying to be supportive to the man who he owes his success to. He realizes without Dr.'s help he would've amounted to nothing and hasn't let his ego get big enough to make him too cocky to realize his roots.
