Brain Damage question

[313]

Is everything what Eminem raps in song true?

Eminem really did this after Bailey beat him?
"Then I got up and ran to the janitor's storage booth
Kicked the door hinge loose and ripped out the four inch screws
Grabbed some sharp objects, brooms, and foreign tools
"This is for every time you took my orange juice,
or stole my seat in the lunchroom and drank my chocolate milk.
Every time you tipped my tray and it dropped and spilt.
I'm gettin you back bully! Now once and for good."
I cocked the broomstick back and swung hard as I could
and beat him over the head with it til I broke the wood
Knocked him down, stood on his chest with one foot.."

Eminem was always beaten when he was young by some guys. Bailey was one of them. Eminem doesn't joke in Who Knew about being beat & peed on

Actually he fall in a black out after for some days and His mother had to learned him again to do some easy shits because he was brain damaged at the time.

You should check Eminem - A.K.A DVD (his mothers say what I said) and some books about Eminem's life. You got interviews of everyone.

Eminem doesn't joke when in Who Knew he was beaten and peed on him

Eminem got pissed on?

When he was on the ground yeah, by d'Angelo.

Whatever You Say I Am book you got interview of Eminem, his mother and the bully (!)

After Bailey beat him he was in coma for I don't remember how long.

[Elision]

No, it's not.

He did get bullied, and beat up by this D'Angelo Bailey kid though. I don't know if it was really that severe and the principal wouldn't help him.

Em has said before, he takes a small truth and stretches it as far as it can go.

Also, I don't think Em had the balls to do anything while he was little either.

He was put in a coma for 5 days after having his head hit the ice at the school playground. Yeah, it was pretty severe.

Eminem was such a bitch

[fopower]

Poor Eminem



He dealt with a lot growing up.

Yeah, that was one shitty ass day for Marshall! To cap it all, after all that he goes home and his mum hits him in the head with a remote, and then guess what?! His fucking brain fell out of his skull!! Holy shit man.

[EminemInsider]

It's true but exaggerated in some parts. He did really suffer 10% brain damage from the D'Angelo Bailey incident, if I remember correctly.

Love the ironic ending (EminemBase drooling now) and the subtle way in which he places the blame on the teachers/faculty/his mom...

But Eminem iz stooopid.

Since I didn't really know too much about Em's and Bailey's history and I didn't feel like working on my homework, I decided to look it up and found this:
http://www.theeminemblog.com/2003/10/18/dangelo-bailey-lawsuit-thrown-out-by-judge/

Bailey, who was two years older, a much bigger guy than him, terrorized him with a group of kids at Roseville Elementary School. About Marshall, D’Angelo says: “He was small, plus he had a big mouth.” According to legal sources (Debbie Mathers sued Marshall’s school), there are four recorded incidents of Marshall getting beaten up.

On October 15th, 1981, he got beaten up, was bruised, and got the wind knocked out of him. The consequences were nausea, abnormal sleepiness and had injuries on his lips and tongue.

Later November 14th, Marshall took another beating. He suffered from insomnia, vomiting, nightmares and antisocial behavior.
And it went on like this on December 21st: Marshall had injuries on his face, head, back and legs after another beating.

But the worst was to come in 1982, on January 13th. Marshall was intentionally hit with a snowball containing a heavy object, was wounded severely while lying on the ground and went into a coma. He also suffered from intermittent loss of vision in his right eye (do you think this is why he has that eye twitch? I thought that it was a result from his drug use since I didn't notice it until he came back last year, but maybe the drugs just made it more pronounce)and from an intermittent loss of hearing [when he woke up from the coma. When Marshall was transferred to the hospital, the doctors thought he was to die, but Marshall woke up 10 days later, and the first sentence he said was: “now I can spell elephant”. Debbie Mathers tried to sue Roseville Elementary School in 1982, because of Marshall’s head injury. She tried to prove that her son suffered from a lot of post-beating symptoms. But, unfortunately, the lawsuit was dismissed in 1983

I read on another blog that Debbie wrote in her book that it took a year for Eminem to fully recover and she had to reteach him simple things like how to tie his shoe. During that time, he was so paranoid about returning to school that he would intentionally harm himself. He even went so far as to put his arm through a window which resulted in him severing a main artery in his wrist.

He was also institutionalized for a short period of time because he kept going into seizures and slipping in and out of consciousness.
