The Return Of Eminem
Despite the fact that he once claimed that he was ready to retire from making music forever, it now looks as if reports of the return of Detroit’s own Eminem to the music biz have some validity. Earlier this week, it was reported that 50 Cent was talkin’ about Eminem’s return to music-making and now the Real Slim Shady is doing some talking of his own:
It’s the return of Slim Shady! Ending a four-year break from music, rapper Eminem says he may release a new album this year. “I’m concentrating on my own stuff right now – just banging out tracks,” Eminem said in a recent interview on Sirius satellite radio station Shade 45. The rapper, 35, will continue to produce for other artists on his label, Shady Records. “The more I keep producing, the better it seems I get. I start knowing stuff, learning the boards like the back of my hands.” Eminem may have shelved his professional life since 2004’s Encore, but he’s stored up a lot of personal material for his next album. In 2005, the rapper entered rehab to treat a dependency on sleeping pills. In 2006, he re-married his ex-wife Kimberly Anne Scott, only to file for divorce three months later. His mother, Debbie Nelson, who famously sued her son for $10 million over alleged slander in his debut The Slim Shady LP, has written a memoir titled, My Son Marshall, My Son Eminem, to be released in November. “I do truly believe that Marshall will be back,” Nelson writes in the book. “I’m sure he’s biding his time, waiting for the right moment, and when he does return, he will be bigger and stronger and more successful than ever. I know my son, and he just doesn’t give up that easily.
Oh man … a new Eminem album AND a memoir written by his estranged mother? Something tells me the shizz is gonna be hittin’ the fan any day now. Now, I’m not the biggest Em fan (nor am I a fan of some of the things he has to say) but I can deffo respect the man and his art. I think he reps Detroit very well and for that, I gotta give him his props. I am very intrigued by the idea of new Eminem material … has he evolved? Has he grown? Will he have an entirely new sound? I suppose we’ll be finding out, hopefully, very soon.

Em is hardly the “hard core rapper” that everyone loves to display. He’s one of the cartoonish idiots that loves attention and finally is getting some after years of trying. Sorry but I’m the only one in the free world that NEVER bought his act. He is not Detroit and never will be. His mom may just shed some light on the real Em and how he lied about his hard knock life. Sorry but a real rapper doesnt dress in drag in his videos.

I sure as hell hope he has grown up a bit.
I never was a fan of him, maybe a few songs. But I gotta love him because he represents Detroit/Michigan, and while sometimes I think he can be an asshole, gotta respect that man.
Yay for Michigan, the only home I’ve ever known!
