I had, like, $4. 0 to get her something. Furthermore, we find out from the book Eminem: The Stories Behind Every Song by David Stubbs that Eminem actually overdosed on pills while recording this song in Autumn of 1.

As Em himself explains the origins of the song in Angry Blonde: “Rock Bottom” was (sigh) another song done between the EP and LP. I didn’t know when I wrote it that it was going to come out that sad. I had actually meant to be an uplifting song, but when we were sitting around making the track, Head had a sample that we played the beat and it was just so sad.
I said fuck it, let’s go with this one. Not surprisingly, I wrote it while I was going through a fucked- up time.
The night I recorded the song, I had taken a bunch of pills, thrown up, and was just real fucking depressed. So I took a bunch of codeine tablets. Problem was, I took too many of them shits and got real sick. When I wrote the song, it was right before the Rap Olympics happened. It was during the week when I had gotten evicted from my house. I was stayin' across the street from where I used to live.
It was a street called Novara out in Detroit. I was staying with these two roommates, and this dude told me that he had cheaper rent for me and I should come live with him. We said, “Okay, he’s got cheaper rent, then fuck it, we’ll move in his house.” So me and my boy went across the street to live with him. We were paying out rent to him, but the s. He took the rent, saved up his own money, and bounced on us. So one day we come home and all our shit’s on the fuckin' front lawn.
We never could catch the motherfucker. Till this day, we haven’t caught him.
It was a real fucked period in my life (no surprise there), and I felt like I had hit “rock bottom”. This is also the only track on the album that is sung by Marshall Mathers/Eminem, and not by Slim Shady. He may now live in a house with an elevator, but the pain in this song can still be heard to this day.
