    yes he does..
    looking back at this why the f--- did he team think this was a good idea. Dude was practically on deaths door. Even if reup was Em's idea you say f---ing NO. Paul and Em said Em would tell people to get the f--- out if they tried to tell him he had a problem and he had so much money people couldn't stop him-which may be true but at the same time his team had the power to stop him from putting out music and refuse to work with him until he got help. I just don't think Paul wanted to lose his business relationship with Em so he just didn't try hard enough and wanted to get enough money as possible. The man couldn't even talk and you p---- him out on TRL and BET? Em barely knew how to scratch his own a--- back then let alone put out music. They should have found artists that could actually hold their own without depending on Em to sell instead of using him like that if they really wanted to stay in the limelight as a label.

    idk it pisses me off. i think out of ALL people Paul could have helped Em the most (besides Em himself obviously) and instead of really trying he pimps him out on live TV shows. Course I wasn't there and did not see everything that happened behind the scenes but I just think if i was his manager i wouldn't work with him until I knew he was in recovery. He needed a friend then not a business partner.

    Agreed, it was very unwise for Paul to keep promoting him while he's going through something like that.

    I don't know but I think one of the main reasons Eminem keeps his relationship with Paul is that he really doesn't remember how he was back then. I strongly believe Paul was more about Money then Eminem's health and legacy.

    They all were. We know Em was snapping at anyone in that little phase so why would these poor a--- n----s tell him to fix up?

    i never even thought about that. He probably just feels guilty about letting people down and I am sure Paul uses that to his advantage now a days. and probably has no idea what they were doing to him back then

    Honestly i think Em is very unsure of himself now a days and depends on Paul a lot. And paul knows it and uses to his advantage as well. In interviews he is always looking over at Paul...its kind of sad if you think about it.

    i am sick and tired of hearing about Paul. he is a scapegoat. whenever something is wrong with Em you always blame Paul.

    Dre didnt do anything either. releasing encore like everything is fine

    I don't care for dre personally either. i don't think EVERYTHING can be blamed on Paul-especially music content...but he def wasn't a good friend to Em when he needed one the most imo

    Yeah. I mean wtf were they thinkin' when they releasin' Encore like that ? f--- the leaks. They still should've put Bully, We As Americans, Love You More instead of My 1st Single, Big Weenie and a--- Like That. The album would've been a classic to me.

    they should have scrapped the album in its entirety imo. Everyone said Em was acting weird during that time-they had to know the pills were f---ing him up by then

    that whole era makes me so mad.

    plus i think i remember reading on a message board that during his overdose his team was shipping albums to cd stores because they knew if he died there would be a demand for them. like wtffffff. thats what they are thinking about at the time?

    No. I mean Encore has an unique delivery by Eminem and some classics like Like Toy Soldiers, Yellow Brick Road, We As Americans, Love You More, Spend Some Time, Crazy In Love
