Quintuple entendre people! The buzz he’s talkin about was:
his buzz cut when he first blew up.
the amount of publicity he had when he almost overdosed
the actual buzz the fans are producing for him.
the buzz of the defibrilator used to revive him following an OD.
The high one gets when using drugs or alcohol is also called a “buzz”
Reference to Em’s drug problems in the period between Encore (2004) and Relapse (2009)
This line could also refer to when he attempted suicide back in 1997 by overdosing on Tylenol shortly after the release of Infinite.
A buzz for the average person is the result of a couple drinks or a puff of a joint–even a cigarette for some.
This line suggests that a buzz for Eminem is an overdose (in parallel to over-performing). Hence: Eminem has an outrageously high drug tolerance (as opposed to other rappers who get a buzz from less good performance).
As much as I wanna believe it’s a quintuple entendre, but it may just be a double at most…. seems like a stretch.

“the amount of publicity he had when he almost overdosed” is the same as “the actual buzz the fans are producing for him” yeah, you can pool fans/media buzzing together so that’s ONE meaning of the buzz line (and the main one). Then the second meaning is like you said, he had a buzz when he was high & overdosed. Thenn you could stretch it and say maybe he also also means that buzz/shock from a defibrillator when he overdosed. Definitely NOT the first thing you listed. Idk how you came up with that. When he first blew up yes he had a buzz cut but that has nothing to do with an overdose? So get rid of 1.
Buzz cut? This is a double entendre at most. Defibrillators don’t buzz, they shock you.
