Eminem has further hyped up the chances of releasing a collaborative album with longtime friend, 50 Cent.
Sitting down for a Christmas Day interview alongside his manager Paul Rosenberg on his Shade 45 radio station, Em was unusually candid about the prospect of a joint project.
Asked about the potential for a joint album, Eminem replied “That would be great. We just gotta stop bullshitting and do it. I would never say it’s not possible.”
Rosenberg then added: “I would love to hear it, so whenever you guys are ready, we’re putting it out.”

It’s not the first time Em has floated the idea of doing a full-length project with his one time Shady Records signee who has only released one album since departing the label a decade ago.
Speaking to DJ Whoo Kid earlier this year, he said: “I’m trying to get him to make a new album so bad. We need another 50 album like really bad. 50’s on a roll right now. He’s been on a roll since the tour.
“I told him whatever the fuck he needs from me, I’m here. That shit’d be crazy, though — an album with me and him.”
Though an album is still a pipe dream, Em and 50 recently hooked up on Snoop Dogg‘s latest album, Missionary, with the legendary duo providing guest verses on “Gunz N Smoke” which was produced by Dr. Dre.
The track also served as something of an homage to The Notorious B.I.G. with several references to the late rapper running throughout the song.
50 also adopts the Bad Boy MC’s cadence and spits: “Red dot ya, I got ya / B.I.G. time, who shot ya?” — just as Dre drops in a heavy-bottomed bassline that harks back to “Hypnotize.”
Snoop repurposes Big’s “you should too, if you knew” lyric from “Notorious Thugs” in his verse, while a sample of his “gunsmoke!” line from the posthumous Eminem collaboration “Dead Wrong” rings throughout.
Carrying the collab across the finish line, Eminem delivers a typically intricate and technical verse that finds him reflecting on his chaotic upbringing, past propensity for violence and maturity into middle-aged mellowness.
go right ahead we’ll be down with that
As a business man, Fifty is doing his thing. As a rapper, he’s overrated as fxck. GRODT aged badly. And everything he released after that was average. Without taking into account that he only released five solo albums in twenty years. Not many people would give a fxck about a collaborative album of Fifty and Em. Instead I’d like to see Nas and Eminem or Busta and Eminem.
I agree with most of what you said bro but get rich or die trying did not age badly as a matter of fact when I listen to it today it’s still slaps harder than most albums I’ve heard in the last 20 years
I agree what you sayin about Fiddy, although i think 2005’s The Massacre was still good. I stopped following dude after that i think it’s safe to say it’s been steady downhill ever since.. Same with Eminem – his last good album was 2002’s The Eminem Show. Everything after that has been trash 🚮
This dude is wildin’ calling GRODT aged badly 🤦♂️
Both have their best days long behind them. Nas and AZ with premo(if he could still hold it down) would be nice. A Rae and Ghost album produced by 4th disciple would be interesting. Jada and Benny and rome streetz album produced by conducta/Derringer.
And AZ is not past his days bro?? lmao
Nah we heard your collabo on missionary we dont want that bullshit in 2204..50 can’t craft a half way decent verse to save his life. all his verses lazy and boring now
It’d be half an album of Eminem over-rhyming and half of 50 Cent under-rhyming on everything. We can pass on this idea.
You’re probably right but since they’re f****** up all of our lore anyway let’s just see what it sounds like let them drop it it’s probably going to suck like you say but let’s just see what it sounds like it’s 2024 where they’re going to remake all our favorites to hell
50 sounded terrible on Missionary and that joint with Nas. A whole joint album wouldnt work. Instead, Em should have 50 do a couple hooks for him.
Yo that’s probably that’s probably why it hasn’t come to fruition Eminem is probably tried time and time again to get a good batch of songs out of him and he just can’t get but a couple good hooks every session
Yeah, everything is theoretically possible. I don’t see this ever happening though. Then again, we don’t need a washed up 50 Cent with his stuck-in-early-to-mid-2000s raps and a sixty year old Eminem burping and barfing on the mic, screaming angrily about pee and poop with stupid accents. So yeah we don’t even want such album in 2024.
would of been great in 2010-2011 but instead he made one with royce, which is great but its not 50 and em.
After hearing Redmans new album all I really want is Blackout 3 for the summer. I know Meth dont want to but Meth been going hard on his features so I know they would deliver!
This is not 2004….
