Eminem’s highly anticipated return may happen next month. A new report by HITS Daily Double claims there is “loud chatter” that Slim Shady’s new album will be released on November 11.
If true, the release would continue a November release trend for Eminem. The rap superstar’s last album, The Marshall Mathers LP 2, dropped in November 2013. Shady Records’ compilation album, Shady XV, was released in November 2014.
HipHopDX contacted sources at Shady Records and Univeral Music Group but received no confirmation or refutation of the report’s accuracy.

It turns out Eminem’s album isn’t actually finished as originally believed. Mr. Porter, Em’s longtime collaborator who spilled the beans last week, has recanted his statement about the LP being done. Porter claims he was just trolling fans during a livestream.
“Anytime they come in there, they can expect to get trolled with any kind of question like that,” he told Complex. “I’m never the person to give up that kind of information. I might say, ‘Hey, we’re working on it’ or ‘Hey, we’re close.’ But I’m never going to be the guy that gives up the information. But they can get trolled.”
It’s possible that Porter genuinely let the news slip and is simply trying to cover for the mistake. It’s just as plausible that he was simply messing with fans and didn’t anticipate the reach of his fake revelation.
Eminem’s ninth studio album is expected to arrive sometime this fall.

It appears that Eminem’s return is imminent. Just a few months after reports emerged about Slim Shady’s ninth studio album dropping in the fall, the rap megastar has apparently finished working on the project.
In a recent livestream captured by a Facebook user, Mr. Porter — a longtime collaborator of Eminem and fellow D12 member — revealed that Em completed the LP.
“Am I working on Eminem’s new album? No, we are done,” he says in the clip. “How about that?”
Porter would not provide a timeframe for the album’s release, but said the LP is “amazeballs.”

Nearly two months after it was reported Dr. Dre was working on Eminem’s next album in its “11th hour,” HITS Daily Double claims Slim Shady’s follow-up to 2013’s The Marshall Mathers LP 2 is likely arriving this fall.
In October 2016, Em took to Twitter to assure fans he was working on an album after dropping “Campaign Speech,” writing, “Don’t worry I’m working on an album!”
During an interview with Shade 45’s DJ Drama, 2 Chainz also touched on the topic and admitted they had been in the studio together. The Pretty Girls Like Trap Music rapper later posted a photo of himself with a bearded Eminem.
(The original version of this article was published on July 9, 2017 and can found below.)
Ahead of the Sunday night’s (July 9) premiere of HBO’s The Defiant Ones — a docu-series based on the relationship between Dr. Dre and record executive Jimmy Iovine — director Allen Hughes spoke to Uproxx and revealed some interesting information. Most importantly, Hughes said Dr. Dre was in the studio working on Eminem’s next project, which would mark Slim Shady’s ninth studio album and follow-up to 2013’s The Marshall Mathers LP 2.
“Dre still records,” Hughes said. “People don’t know this: Dre records every day. Literally, he’s in there recording songs every day. He’s like Picasso in that way. He’s always painting. Right now he’s producing, in the 11th hour, a track for Eminem’s latest album. So Dre’s still real active in music.”
Although Aftermath/Interscope Records hasn’t mentioned anything about a potential Eminem album, Hughes comment about the “11th hour” alludes to some type of deadline. Considering the amount of time Hughes has presumably spent with Dre over the course of filming The Defiant Ones, he’s likely a credible source.
Eminem has been relatively quiet over the past few years, but he’s recently surfaced on social media to wish 50 Cent a happy birthday and pose for a photo with 2 Chainz on June 23.
All signs point to another offering from the mind of Shady, but for now, fans will have to wait.
The Defiant Ones airs on HBO at 9 p.m. EST. Watch the trailer above.
What do you mean with Dr, Dre is working on Eminem’s new album?
Dr Dre uses beats, idea’s and concepts from other (ghost) producers like: Sam Sneed natural born killaz, The Glove Phone tap etc. We don’t believe you Dre, you need more people.
Don’t forget Dj quik, Daz, Scott Storch etc
What are they doing for themselves as of 2017
Themselves? Naaah, its all about Dre. Its always been about Dre. There is no them. There is no selves. There is just DRE. Aftermath is to producers as OVO is to songwriters.
Love that you both know enough about hiphop to know dre is more of a listener and guy telling producers what sound to make, not as much being physical on making the beats. One thing I’ll say is Dre seems to bring the best work out of most of his producers and rappers, which they otherwise wouldn’t have the discipline or drive to make.
I also heard he is working with Hugh Defner.
Yes dre is the steve jobs of rap :-}
Dre Dre working on an ablum actually means he is stealing again.
Dr. Dre working. Great. Now it’s just 10-12 years and the album is out.
Damn why is Em looking like a mad scientist in that pic tho?
Because he is.. he’s been in the lab
hopefully after 3 despondent album from eminem (mmlp2 – relapse – encore )( recovery was good ) we can get a good eminem album i said hopefully
How you going to call relapse trash?
Bunch haters on trying trash Dre. Half of you dump chumps know nothing music! Shut that sh*t up!
Bunch of haters on here trying trash Dre. Half of you dump chumps know nothing music! Shut that sh*t up!
These ppl are idiots
lol eminem has a beard now
Hopefully Dre can force Em to make a dope album again.
These last couple joints have been weak.
Recovery is one of his albums he has made
Iagree on MM2, a couple good tracks on there(rap god)
So he skip’s everyone who has asked him to work with them, but chooses to work with the white guy….no disrespect to Eminem, but I’m questioning Dre on this one.
you’re about 20 years too late questioning Dre on working with Eminem..
Damn.. it’s sad how big of an issue race is with yal. Yal so salty. Dre and Em got history.. of coarse he chose to work with him.
This is money plain and simple…ppl are gonna flock to buy it. It really won’t matter if it’s good or bad. Em and dre always smash but things are different now so who knows.
Both played out.
Alright more rhymes about farts and f@gs
Hey jackass what can you you come up with ? Besides he put out a kickass diss track towards Donald J Trump and his retard supporters
Dre working on the album with Em? Cool should be out by the year 2028
Jay Z keeping all these old heads hopes up. And that’s cool. I always wanna hear a Legend rap. In fact every old rapper should make a rap album 2gether then tour.
I can’t wait to hear the album in year 2045.
Damn y’all WITE BOI’s is hypocriyes doe. If is a blacc rapper over 40, y’all hate but wen iz y’all wite Jesus feminem is coo???? And y’all caint wizzait FUCC YALL real spit doe. Kill ya selfs liek ya know ya wanna and kill ya mommas liek ya know two. Ain’t NOBODI wanna heer diz fa66ot SELLLLOUT rap no moe! Pop artist muthafucca.
This comment is so false.. Sean Price, Jay Z, Doom, Mob Deep, Nas, Wu-Tang, Redman.. I can sit here all day and name old black rappers that are dope MC’s.. take your little racist pity party somewhere else homie. White boys respect old rappers too. “Real spit doe” hahahaha maybe learn to spell.. talking trash on white people when you spell like an inbred.
Even more hypocrite is that this racist & illiterate muhfucka reps the west harder than Cube does, is a Dre stan, but shits on Eminem every chance he gets, just because he’s white…… Commendable however is he puts real effort in his comments, his type of ‘ghetto slang spelling’……so much thought is put in it and he’s real consequent with it every time. I mean, try for once to change your whole pattern of writing you’ve learned by changing letters around and actually spell out that shit. You guys are underrating it, lol!
Goddamn, first of all, learn how to fucking speak and type before you comment some dumb shit, and second of all, white people do very much respect tons of male and female black rappers. And the fact that you say (referring to white people) “your white Jesus” kills me in laughter because it’s so dumb.
White ppl don’t get tired.?????
Metroclus – Soldier For Christ (Montana of 300 Response) needs to get covered on this site. Not interested in an eminem album.
Over a fake tweet? Hahahahahajahahahaha!!!! Foh. YOURE the problem with hip hop. Get a life
Ain’t never heard of him
The only thing I care about coming out of Shady is Slaughterhouse or Westside Gunn &/or Conway. Dr Dre hasn’t been good in years.
dre still working on detox
I can feel it coming
Here come all the whiteboys to say “The GOAT is back!!!”… and before you ask… I brought race in to this because only white dudes and confused Hispanic dudes say Em is the GOAT.
They shoulda never gave you $
Nah I’m black and I got em in my top 3 sooo what are you talking about?
He’s the GOAT
Get fucked homie. Hope you get floored in the street. Skin color doesn’t matter. Brain cells do. And you clearly lack them.
So Dre, the other members of N.W.A., Rakim, KRS, Jay-Z, K-Dot are all white dudes and confused hispanics? They all credit Em as top 5 of all time. Dork. Who would beat him in a battle? Bar for bar? Dumbass.
Most of my friends are black and we came to a consensus. Em is one of the greatest of all time. He has done more for the game called rap than any other mainstream artist still putting records out (Jay-Z excluded of course). He started a revolution and nobody has come along to dethrone him yet. Because he can room a career in just for bars…his legacy will always live on.
Someone has clearly not seen the interviews in which other greats rappers are being asked about Em.
Bone ain’t been hitting on shit since 1994
Mfkr they dropped heat..dont tell u think em can serve kray
Wow! So much contraversy over actual music artists whom have made a name for themselves in the game! For those of you commenting with “shit talk” it’s pretty pathetic, where is your name highlighted
In the charts? You Bozo’s are being haters
And don’t even know why. Get a life, for real, and I was gonna say Good luck to Eminem with his new album, it’s gonna be
Fire, which everyone is probably fearing, so that’s why y’all be talking maaad junk on here.
more of those good lyrics with shitty sound , shitty flow, poop jokes, farts and burps, a fake character who doesnt exist and a lot of shit
Dude go fuck yourself you dick rider bitch. #shady4lyfe
Fuck you to El_Booty and UsinHoezLiekTennisRaccetz you both are little bitch ass racist. stop hatin that a white boy took over hiphop bitch boys.
It says : “Dr. Dre Reportedly Working On Eminem’s New Album”… I read : “Dr. Dre Reportedly Found Someone To Whom He Could Give Away His Detox’s Wack Beats”
Do your history clowns name one song that he hasn’t killed everyone that he is on there with please I’ll wait and oh yeah I’m black you guys are jokes you know nothing about music listening to that mumble mumble Shit
planes with B.O.B.
Is boss rick?
whats up with mp
jamz.com
MMLP2 was Em’s best work since The Eminem Show. This album could be something special since he seems to be growing more focused with each album since his return. Fingers crossed.
Not that I don’t have high hopes, but I’d say he’s almost too focused. His wordplay lately has been off the charts, like literally unmatched in hip hop history, but I’d say the amount of effort it would require a person to come up with the verses is crazy, I’d say he’s gone eccentric with his writing. His verses used to be good, now they are all over the place and I feel like he never leaves his room and just writes lyrics all day. He seems unhealthily focused.
Lyrically, he’s one of the best and one of my favorite rappers, but he has a terrible choice in beats
Yeah post-2011… his beats arent that good. Shady XV was probably his best work since. Songs like (Vegas, Psychopath Killer & Right For Me) was crazy.
Funny thing is, he can make amazing beats when he wants to.
I agree. Let Dre produce the whole album or get some current hot producers and get THE BEST beats. I hate those crappy Eminem produced beats, they all sound the same and just are not that good
Who’s riding around listening to eminem in 2017 . Strait Up Lames . FOH
I do sometimes, but I fully own the fact that I’m lame af
What you riding around to? Lil yacht? Lil Uzi vert? Even jay z is a trash ass artist with that sprint deal because he knew he wasn’t going platinum on his own.
recycled comments to make it look like theres some hype, when nobody gives a fuck
Eminem is guest in Hiphop
fuck outta here with that bullshit
Eminem is Hiphop and the best rapper ever
I see a lot of ppl asking why Dre works with Em so much instead of other artists so I’ll explain it. People tend to forget Dre had 2 records flop back to back after he left Deathrow and was nearly kicked off Interscope who at the time wasn’t doing well either. Insert Eminem’s Slim Shady LP and just like that shit changed overnight. Follow it up with MMLP1 and the rest is history. Dre feels like Em saved his career/life and the truth is in many ways he did. And Em feels the same way, without Dre putting him on most of us wouldn’t even know who Eminem is.
Cool you just did a word for word spoiler of defiant ones episode 1
J-Son#23 is one of those dudes that will watch a movie knowing you want to peep it and give away the ending. Smh. Like he has the answers. He just needs to sit down and let people enjoy and discover things for themselves
Which 2? The one with “Been There, Done That”, and what else?
The firm probably
Its always good to hear from Em. I would rather hear a collaboration or joint album wit 50 cent than wit Dre. Jimmy Iovine said Dre takes his time making music like he did at Death row. But he was putting platinum albums out left and right at Ruthless but he did have Yells as a partner. I would love a shady/Gunit album.
Hope he collabs with fif. They always sound dope af together.
Part of me is hyped, part of me is worried. I haven’t been a fan of his latest songs/features. No Favors was trash. I really hope he drops a consistent and great project, but I’m not holding my breath.
Are Trump Supporters still boycotting Eminem after he dissed Trump and his redneck supporters?
LOL
Let’s talk music in my music group on Facebook called THE VERSUS LEAGUE.
I would like it if Eminem stuck his legendary finger into my dirty bum while my brother watches us from the side.
So this whole article is based off of this 1 sentence, “HITS Daily Double claims Slim Shady’s follow-up to 2013’s The Marshall Mathers LP 2 is likely arriving this fall.” Wow.. But look how many hits it got.. Trolling for trolls ?
9th wonder for Eminem’s album would be cool
great. we get to hear an old eminem scream his corny multi-syllable / say nothing rippidy rap raps over garbage production OR horribly cheesy emo shite. he had quotables pretty much every line on MMLP and SSLP, he hasn’t dropped a quotable in the past 15 years. Clearly lost the cutting dark humour that made him so great in the first place. Please someone prove that any of the statements I have just made are untrue
Brain damage, If I Had, My Fault!
ummm yes those songs are exact reference to the point i was making lol
More choppy flows over dated beats. Anyone checking for an Em album after 2004 has lost the plot.
Yawn
Trash
Its funny how kids giggle and crack jokes about somebody and got no money and get no pussy still living wit their mammie and never sold a record. Ya was nerds n school getting beat up but want to troll. Go to the hood and troll the D boyZ on the block and let see what happens ya,dumb bitch azz!!!
And what you said has what to do w Em droppin a new album exactly?
You guys talk shit and I understand considering I love his old albums. But this dude has insane talent and he can’t be the same damaged drug addict he has been. He has grown up but his God like talent is still there. If there is one so called “washed up rapper” that can surprise you with an epic track, it will be him.
He’s back to put out another mediocre album that all the white boys will claim is an “instant classic”.
Thats the only demographic that will purchase so cant blame him…hahaha
So youre black.
More screaming and off beat rapping and usings 100 words in a sentence without no meaning. And probably some commercial features by Pink, Sia, Rihanna etc. NO THANKS
lmao this kid..
this guys a gangsta? his real name is zackary lol fuck u punk AND NO IM NOT WHITE IM BLACK AS FUCK haha ha ha hahaha haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa … im kidding. by now u all see that im definately indeed white
man fuk u wit yo white ass cuz. O’l Nelson lookin ass. I aint white brother, im a Caucasian. i dont identify myself as a colour. O’l managin lookin ass with your black shirt.
Guess he talking about the firm
This is going to be bigger than 4:44 bigger than DAMN bigger than Wins&Losses….and no im not white…i am an African born and raised in Africa…
probably not, eminem never made a record go platinum in the matter of 2-4 days.
Ha ha. Check the sales. No rappers even compare to Eminem when it comes to record sales. Your statement is pretty ignorant. Do some research before you speak.
Are you trolling or truly that fuckin stupid? Jayz own boartber, sprint, purchased 1 million copies of his album. That doesn’t co But for shit in my book.
eminem is straight trash bro.
Finally some REAL HIP HOP! Not that mumble bang bang skeet skeet shit!
WHITE PEOPLE HAVE TAKEN HIP HOP TO ANOTHER LEVEL!!
I felt like Em hadn’t released anything good lately but I went through his shadyxv and southpaw soundtrack and I could find a couple good songs here and there and a shitload of dope bars
I forgot to mention RELAPSE was dope.
Relapse was his last dope album Im not afraid was the worst single he ever did pop trash and his angry fit as many words as i can into a sentence type flow is garbage
Jay-z did a deal with Sprint so it guaranteed him a platinum record so he wouldn’t have a flop.
ok
i m em fan, doesnt matter what kind of shit he will release, i will spend whole day just to listen it and read the lyrics. if its dope i will listen it for a while, if not, i will just leave it there on spotify playlist as a regular shuffle song
At this point i dont get excited for eminem albums. Flows horribly fast, robotic and full of nonsense bars..i hope hes got things to mention but as far as im concerned..itll be another fast paced album w corny bars or weird bars
2Chains?!?! If Eminem puts out a shit show album I will never buy his music again. I tried to listen to 2Chains’ garbage and couldn’t stand it. I have successfully pushed that turd outta my memory.
i dont mind em rapping with other trappers, 2chains actually is way better that others. 2chains is in the bracket with drake, meek, ross, future. but yes, em must bring 50, dre, maybe slautherhouse, yela, some d12

Cue the rumors that the next album is called “The Amazeballs LP”
You’re gay
I honestly don’t think Mr Porter is a reliable source these days.
If you support Trump, then I advise you to boycott Eminem. He took shots at our leader in “Campaign Speech” and I immediately threw away all his CDs and deleted all his music from my iTunes library. Boycott Shady!
Fuck you!
Yeah, that upset me, but I’m over it.
I want a feature from Tyler Joseph or Kevin Abstract and some production from Rick Rubin & FlyLo but try to avoid that RapBot junk…
White Stan fuckboys will have an orgasm to this news.
Em was corny since the beginning. Depends on your definition of corny. I think shit is corny when the person making the song doesnt know his shit is corny. Em knows about his corny wordplay…
Yes! Rap’s angry Taylor Swift is back! Can’t wait for that unavoidable SIA feature!!
Eminem stan’s are amp today…never seen so many comments in such short time
Sucks there bout come back down to earth this article needs updated again Mr. Porter said afterwords he just said that cause that’s all people kept asking on the live.
It’s been “finished” for a while now, not really news. Porters “amazeballs” comment is also unreliable due to bias. Hoping it’s good, but keeping my expectations low. His last few songs and features have been awful imo.
He can drop his album but he can seem to drop Slaughterhouse album !!!
OK Eminem’s a great MC. Arguably one of the best ever. So how come he isn’t smart enough to hang it up while that’s still an accurate statement instead of going out like Jordan on the Wizards?
Because Jordan on the Wizards was still Jordan. He was amazing. His teammates sucked… but Jordan was doing well and still raking in the dough. When people think of Jordan, they think of 91-93 or 96-99 seasons…
No filler, hip hop classic.
Mad hate on here, both for Eminem and for those who don’t like him. Legend is possibly dropping an album, even if it’s a 6/10 it will be better than most of the garbage today. Ppl say he fell off, I say he’s remained ahead of his competition. When rap was ill, he was iller. When it’s wack as fuck, he’s still better than the rest but not at prime level. Considering the competition this year, a lot of great albums, I anticipate a solid album that will be criticized by the dummies of today for being too lyrical with too much wordplay, which is literally what rap should be about.
“When it’s wack as fuck, he’s still better than the rest but not at prime level.” –> nice rationalization for making so-so material.
Hard to stay inspired when everyone else is shit. Nas is one of the greatest of all time but he has a lot of so-so material. Only legend without so-so material is probably biggie and that’s because he didn’t have the chance to put it out, he died so young. Even then, his 2nd album had too much filler.
Hater’s gonna hate but does the man ever disappoint? NO. Can’t wait…
Yeah, he does disappoint. No hate, I’m a fan- he’s a great lyricist, but his catalog (except for his first 2 albums) does not match his skill level.
We all have opinions… I think TES and Recovery are his best albums. Just my 2C.
You mean 1st 3 albums, right?
More screaming and off beat rapping and using 100 words in a sentence without any meaning
I’d much rather hear a Slaughterhouse album
If Just Blaze executive produced it
Eminem is still one of the greatest. My new single “I’m The Wealthiest Man Alive” by Jöí Fabü just dropped to all Major Platforms. Check it out. It’s pretty dope.
You are fucking garbage, and thats disrespectful to actual garbage.
Eminem is trash! I can’t wait until he retires. He is nothing more than a sell out artist. The worst thing that happen to hip hop.
jealous because he came into hip hop and made it white dominance.
I like white rappers including the beastie boys and others. I hate sell out artists that are black or white. I don’t care about their color. I just love hip hop music.
White dominance huh same way I came to your mother and it dick dominance STFU asshole
Funny how every new album is “amazeballs” ot “their best work ever!!”
Safe from scream rap and choppy flows for another day.
Well of course he’s gonna say it’s amazing, what’s he gonna say, it sucks?
Eminem as one best technical deliveries that takes a lot of practice to master it , i respect his dedication to his craft and i’m looking forward to what flow or rhyme scheme he will use through the songs, i like the evil slim shady hope it comes out in this cd, check our the new artist i’m working with named Lokixximo, he’s already nominamted for a latin grammy, enjoy everyone
Hip-Hop albums that take this long to make/release are rarely very good..
Hope em got the shady camp represented on this album. None of them showed up on mmlp2 which I found weird. I mean, yela could been on asshole, slaughterhouse on bezerk and royce on evil twin. Shit, he could even had thrown in d12 and Obie on so much better, dre on legacy and 50 on the album opener for old times sake.
Hope they all come through on this project, plus Redman.
All the whiteboys are here to say the album will be the GOAT… these delusional f u c k s will say it’s amazing! Harsh reality is that Eminem hasn’t released a GOOD or GREAT ALBUM SINCE THE SLIM SHADY LP…. Go Ahead whiteboys, call me racist… Oh yeah, I’m hispanic… and I think Em is vastly overrated…. eat s h i t Em Defenders!
Build the wall.
What a shitty article. where’s the news. someone just published the jam in their big heads…shiiiittt
FUCK OFF EL_BOOTY GO LISTEN TO RICKY MARTIN U BITCH ASS BRAZIER. YEA WHITEBOY U A GAYBOY U BITCH.
Eminem album in November, Yela kicken it in October…what year is this???
What a great year for Hip Hop / Rap. Kendrick Lamar Damn, Rittz Last Call and Strange going hard…That Mumblin Shit is sitting down and being Humble…
