Talkin' 2 Myself is the second song we are introduced to on Eminem’s album, Recovery. The song brings us into his mind when he was on hiatus from 2004-2009. The song was produced by DJ Khalil, whom Marshall had worked with often on this album.
It describes his feelings on many different topics. One of the first topics he touches on is his urge to create songs that specifically target different rappers who were popular at the time. He named two of them in the song. (However, people have theorized that there are subliminal disses towards these two on this very same album.) Later in the song he says, “All these other rappers suck is all that I know.” It is unknown if he was including the two rappers previously mentioned.
In the second verse he takes the song name literally, and begins to talk to himself. He raps about his struggles with addiction and hatred towards himself for being in the position he was in at the time of his hiatus.
In the third and final verse he apologizes to all who had to see him go through his addiction. He even shout outs various rappers who also were going through what he called “growing pains.”
During the outro, he is speaking directly to everyone he was going to create songs about and also, of course, his fans.
