Many wild animals have been susceptible to a brain disease called rabies. When the virus attacks the brain cells, it causes the salivary gland to overproduce saliva, causing foaming at the mouth

To put it shortly, when an animal has rabies, it is “spitting” and is crazy. A slang term for rapping is “spitting”, and he is saying whenever he raps it’s incredible, or insane

Eminem paraphrases Snoop’s -izzle (“wizzle” instead of “nizzle”, since Eminem is forbidden from using even the -izzle version of the N-word) as a symbol of pop-rap crossoverism

In this line, Em is just saying “is it a miracle that I was successful, or a perfectly normal and logical cause / effect?” Pop fizzing up is not a miracle, it’s a normal occurrence because soda is fizzy

He could also be reflecting on the brief nature of pop stardom; soda fizz is composed of bubbles which disappear into thin air once they reach the top

Eminem tries to avoid pop music — to no avail

Em is reflecting on whether his success was caused by a miracle or by the decline of the pop music genre. Artists like N'Sync, Backstreet Boys, Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, dominated the mainstream airwaves for years until the early 2000s when hip hop and R&B took over mainstream music. This shift coincided with the 1999 release of Eminem’s “Slim Shady LP” and his subsequent rise to fame

What Em is really saying is that through his verses, through his skills and through his life in fame, has been trying to demonstrate an innate truth that all great spiritual men and women have been trying to tell us: that the spirit of God dwells within us. I.E. the kingdom of heaven, etc. He is not saying he is the direct savior of hip hop

Em took 2Pac’s audience after he died, with only a minimal swap (his skin color)

Of course, 2Pac had much more muscle-mass as well, but we won’t quibble.

All of these are descriptions of himself, he is a criminal, and a cop killing hip hop villain

Even if Eminem mainlines prescription antibiotics — the way that adrenaline is delivered — they still won’t cure his “illness” (meaning the quality of his rap)
