Eminem’s take on Barenaked Ladies' “If I Had $1,000,000” written when he was poor, couldn’t provide for his daughter and wasn’t seeing much success in rap.
In ‘If I Had’, Eminem poetically lists everything in his life that he is tired of having to deal with in a sad, sympathetic tone, with a clean, simple beat.
Eminem currently has a net worth of $210 million, so he is way past a million dollars.
"'“If I Had” was off "The Slim Shady EP". It was written when I was stayin' at a friend’s house. I was living with a couple of roommates at the time. I wrote that shit the same week my car broke down. My fuckin' engine blew out and a bunch of fucked-up shit was happening all at the same time. I wrote the song during the summer of ‘97, but I didn’t record it until that winter.'"
