Did 2003 Beefs Contribute to Eminem's Downfall?

the energy he put into those beefs probably had a side-effect which probably contributed to his drug addiction...

i was thinking the same thing.

Exactly what I was thinking when I made this thread...this is the general vibe i got from listening to all his songs leading up to his fall from the top. Was it the whole problem, no, but it definitely contributed. If you listen to Like Toy Soldiers I really get that feeling from it. He seemed to become sick and tired of the game and this was part of it.

The beefs aren't what tired him out, the drugs did. He couldn't handle the beefs anymore because he was so ruined mentally and physically.

A sober Eminem doesn't even break a sweat against clowns like Benzino and Ja Rule.
