Eminem - Cocaine Feat Jazmine Sullivan


As Eminem says, "the Game is Like Cocaine..." Cocaine is a narcotic substance which is usually found to be addictive. Something that is addictive obviously causes an addiction. I personally refer to an addiction as something continuously needed to feel and function as normal.

In this day and age, you can really become addicted to anything. The Crackberry (blackberry smartphones), music, shopping, Sex, the fame with spotlights, and of course money are a few things that come to mind when I think of someone being addicted to something.

Eminem's song Cocaine recently hit the masses featuring the sultry stylings of Jazmine Sullivan. It was rumored that Alicia Keys was featured on this soul driven track but later found out it is Jazmine Sullivan.

On Cocaine, Eminem is actually rapping about the "music game addiction" and how it can cause detrimental change to everything that you have ever known to be true in your life, including best friends becoming enemies, private life becoming public and the fact that you are addicted to continuing to stay involved in this "game" after the change has occurred.

I'm sure we all feel the need to strive for a goal, but the question is at what cost? What are you willing to sacrifice to accomplish this goal? A lot of times we sacrifice things without even knowing it only to find out at a later time its not at all what we wanted? The question remains, what should you do?
