8 Rappers Who Battled With Depression

Discussion of depression and mental illness has always been stigmatized in American society, and that extends to music as well. But as we've seen it become more accepted to discuss these kinds of topics, we've also seen musicians be way more open about it as well. While in the past they might have talked about it in their music, it didn't really go any further than that. Nowadays though, there's a lot of rappers who are very open about going through bouts of depression, and they talk about it with their fans and in interviews.

I will say Eminem is number one on this list because he almost killed himself by overdosing drugs divorced twice with the same woman and lost his dear best friend, who always backed him up in school also they even found and formed their own rap group D12. Proof who died from multiple gunshots.
