To be released on Halloween. This is a mix-tape, but it's officially being released to store and there'll be a single. The first single is called "We Need a Change" and it's supposedly Eminem's finest work in a long time.

[areyoureadytojump]

Interesting.

I thought he was taking a break.

[Devil Marlena Nylund]

Good!

Although every CD is his best work in a long time so I'll judge it when I hear it.

[SHOOTER]

ok.

[Pulse]

Why is a mixtape being released?

[spooky21]

Is it Halloween in Canadia?

[chartfreak]

I don't think this will be as huge as his other albums.

[SHOOTER]

^Of course not. It's a mixtape.

Dispelling rumors of retirement, rap superstar Eminem is dropping a mixtape next month which is said to include a new single, prompting further rumors of an upcoming album.

On the mixtape, titled 'The Re-Up,' the multi-platinum selling rapper linked up with DJ Whoo Kid, as well as several Aftermath and G-Unit affiliates.

Although Eminem is featured on several songs, most of the mixtape is made up of guest appearances including Busta Rhymes, Obie Trice, D12, Stat Quo, and the Alchemist.

It also includes previously unreleased tracks, such as Busta Rhymes' "Rough Around The Edges" featuring Nas, and Proof's "Forgive Me" featuring 50 Cent.

The mixtape is reportedly dedicated to D12's Proof, who was killed earlier this year, and includes Eminem's "Things Need To Change" which pays homage to the slain rapper.

Rumors? They came out of his mouth, people need to stop saying they're retiring and everything else and then come right back.

Eminem Back In Action On Shady Mix Tape


September 19, 2006, 10:20 AM ET

Jonathan Cohen, N.Y.

Dodging retirement rumors, Eminem will spring back into action this winter with "Eminem Presents: The Re-Up," a mixtape disc that will serve as an introduction to new artists from his Shady Records camp. Eminem produced the majority of the tracks, with assistance from the Alchemist, and also raps on a handful of cuts.

Due Dec. 5 via Shady/Interscope, "The Re-Up" was intended as a purely street-level project with rough-hewn production, but quickly blossomed into something greater. "Instead of putting it out there rough and unfinished, I thought we should add some other new tracks, make it a real album and put it in the record stores to give these new artists a real boost," Eminem says.

On "The Re-Up," the spotlight is on Atlanta up-and-comers Stat Quo and Bobby Creekwater as well as ex-Renegadez member Ca$his. The first single and video is "You Don't Know," which features Eminem, 50 Cent, Lloyd Banks and Ca$his. Eminem also takes the mic on "No Apologies," while D12's Bizarre and Kuniva appear on "Murder."


Eminem quashes speculation that "The Re-Up" would serve as a tribute to his recently slain close friend, Proof, saying the upcoming project "is about these new artists and these new songs. It isn't fair to them or to the memory of Proof to mix them up."

"You Don't Know" is ass. 6 minutes of ass. Eminem is officially garbage. For a second there, i thought he was going to go down as the greatest lyricst ever. Damn shame.

[polly]

So didn't people like Encore?

It was considered artisticly weak compared to his few previous efforts. I remember fans and critics shared the same opinion on this subject.

[areyoureadytojump]

This is the original thread.

[Pulse]

So is Eminem going to be credited as the main artist? The article sort of made it sound like it would be a "Various Artists" type thing or maybe it will be credited like that DTP/Ludacris album

[Would've Been The One]

ugh...why wont he take some more pills and crawl back into rehab forever..his music is seriously trash now..i put him in the pop category with nsync and backstreet boys and that era is DONE.

Eminem bemoans pal's death, heavy work load

By JOHN SMYNTEK
FREE PRESS STAFF WRITER

November 14, 2006

Detroit rapper Eminem loosens up in the December Vibe magazine on the violent death of his best friend Proof and the pressures of the entertainment industry. His top two utterances from the story:

•On Proof’s demise: “I was just like, I want to be home … I got to be with my kids, Haillie and Alaina. They’d known Proof all their lives, and I don’t think they understand death … It was my main goal to downplay it so it didn’t upset the kids. But I had some days that I couldn’t walk. I mean literally. I couldn’t get out of bed.”

•On the burden of success: “I went for eight solid years nonstop … Its all trains, planes, and automobiles, and the pressure of trying to perform in front of all those people and not miss a word…People are counting on you: they bought tickets to see you. All that pressure, plus the pressure I felt at home. I just felt like, ‘Man I gotta fall back’.”

Missing from this story preview? When his next totally new album will be out and new details about his "Have Gun, Will Travel" remake.
