New info. has emerged regarding Eminem’s alleged Roots album.
According to MLive, Eminem will not be notifying fans of a new project anytime soon.
A spokesperson for the rapper, Dennis Dennehey, e-mailed the Michigan-based media hub yesterday (January 19) to combat the claims that have been circulating the Internet.
Dennehey says the reports are “Completely untrue” and “There’s no album announcement coming.”
He has served as the rapper’s publicist for over a decade, so the validity of his statement should hold more weight for fans anxious at the idea of a new album from the rapper.
Hip-Hop Vibe initially reported that the Detroit emcee was planning to release an album titled Roots.
Without any sources, the blog went on to declare that Shady would make an official announcement during the upcoming Grammy awards and that Dr. Dre and Xzibit were also involved.
Eminem has yet to comment on the false claim but his manager, Paul Rosenberg, says Em is still visiting the studio frequently.
“He goes to the studio like most people go to the office,” Rosenberg told MLive. “So five days a week, typically Monday through Friday, he’ll be in the studio. It’s not quite nine to five — the hours tend to be quite longer — but he’s there everyday.”

knew it
EM IS THE BEST TO EVER TOUCH A MIC
shut up white boy
Em is definitely ONE of the best – and there’s nothing anyone can do about it but HATE on him (and make him even MORE popular.
Dont know bout that guess u never heard of meek mills?
Why are you guys calling it an ACCUSATION? He’s not being accused of anything. I swear sometimes the writing on this site is like TMZ, “LOOK AT ME!” writing.
If he stays in the studio so much, its wearinghim out because his shit is lame now. Relapse was his last great album then it all became pop. The shit he spits now is ridiculous too. At least with the old Em, you could visualize the shit he was sayin-the shit he does now is like a lyrical math equation and nobody likes math.
lol how everyone hated relapse and called that album straight doo doo when it came out. now it has this cult following and ppl b claimin its one of his best albums. that shit is trash and unlistenable. i agree with u bout the math part tho. u contradict urself tho cause relapse he used them crazy rhyme schemes that ppl dont feel like paying attention to
First of all, Eminem’s “Relapse” album is arguably one of his GREATEST works of art – Far better and more diverse and MUCH more like the Slim Shady of old that the world loves – than his follow-up “Recovery” and, IMO, his last solo album “MMLP2”. Anyone who doesn’t recognize this is inherently retarded and musically impaired. (EVERYBODY payed attention to it BTW) Secondly, ALL of Eminem’s albums to date have been and always WILL BE undisputed CLASSICS.
Christopher Harris……stay in school
BINGO!
Accusations? Was this “Roots” album purported to be a crime against music?
eminem should sit on my face
no social/economical subjects get touched on by em anymore.
In old albums he was almost philosophizing when delivering content along with great rhyme scheme..now it’s WAY better rhyme scheme…BUT self focused content that’s delivered…with no up to date reflection on anything in the world (He still can only refer to 2001 pop icons) Not exactly getting personal because he chooses not too anymore. Eminem needs to discuss modern issues and celebs but he cant…because he is literally trapped in his house or the studio. Frame by imprisonment. Kendrick lamar says himself that he is gathering material for his new album by exploring the world and seeing new faces. Em is way past that stage of self-exploration.
Well said, dude. I’ve always said the thing that looks most in his latest material is substance. He used to deliver a single bar that held more weight than a whole verse of his today. “Broke the rubber, busted a nut up in your mother. So how you feel about having another little brother?”
The image of his past was his torch, and the image he created today is his death. Everybody is/was/has been rapping about how “cool” they are and the best flow and blah blah blah. And, he fell right into the same old mix. But, his past music, all was a reflection of someone who didn’t “give a fuck” what people thought and let loose the craziest thoughts from his mind. That’s the Em that everybody was hooked by.
You hit on the head. Because, you could argue his lyrical talent is even more superior (which is crazy) than it used to be. But, without that raw substance, it’s complete waste.
His old bodyguard wrote a book called “Shady buziness”. He had some pretty crazy stories to tell about Em, groupies, 11 drugs in one days. But Em can’t even talk about his real past in detail through modern day rap…mainly because Valium wiped his brain clear of a WHOLE decade. wish he could though
Eminem should just chill for now , the industry has changed.
Ehh I agree yes and no. He should chill for now because his music has always emphasized supply and demand (albums released every 2 years). Every album he has adapted a new flow which is great. MMLP2 and ShadyXV sounded the same. Rapid interwoven fast flow. However, I think he is truly trying to revive rap. Rap needs him now because there’s not a lot smart lyricists out there. The new school needs him or people will consider guys like rif raff an actual rapper
