The inimitable Slim Shady has just reached another milestone in his storied career. The Motor City rap god’s 2005 LP, Curtain Call: The Hits, has become Billboard’s longest-charting Hip Hop album in its chart history. Debuting at #1 in 2005, the 7X-platinum greatest hits compilation has spent a staggering 350 weeks on the Billboard 200.
Of course, it’s not Eminem’s only album to perform so well. 2002’s The Eminem Show has spent an impressive 329 weeks on the Billboard 200, while 2010’s Recovery has stuck around for 288 weeks.
While this undoubtedly breaks a Billboard 200 record, Em might have some more tricks up his sleeve. The normally elusive artist recently issued a “Happy Birthday” video to 50 Cent, which found him rapping the lyrics to 50’s “Places To Go” and before that, the bearded version of Em was taking photos with 2 Chainz.
But the most eyebrow-raising bit of news came from an interview with The Defiant Ones‘ director Allen Hughes who casually mentioned Dr. Dre was “producing, in the 11th hour, a track for Eminem’s latest album.”
Although there are no further details on a mythical Eminem album available at this time, if he is finalizing a record, hopefully more information will surface in the not-so-distant future.
In the meantime, Em is likely focused on his forthcoming battle rap comedy film, Bodied, which he announced earlier this week. Em serves as the film’s producer.
Eminem just need to ride a hip hop beat and rhyme at a decent pace to go platinum, we knowhe’s a nice MC but we don’t need that fast rapping and shouting in every song, a 2 Chainz and Eminem song will be horrible, i rather hear Eminem rap with Jadakiss or Nas another Jay z Collab would be dope
But if you think about it, he’s been yelling since the Marshall Mather’s lp. It’s nothing new, he’s just older. Em the G.O.A.T!
Another Jay collabo would be terrible. Especially the way Em murdered him on his own ish. Cosign the others on your list tho.
Rather get “killed on my own shit” by a legend like Eminem… than to be killed by someone like, oh I don’t know let’s say… Sticky Fingaz (yeah, the OTHER guy from Onyx)… like Eminem was on ‘Remember Me’.
Here come all the white boys to rejoice about Eminem.
the other guy from Onyx? Wasn’t Sticky the most popular guy from Onyx always!!!
We need more ‘don’t front’ eminem and less shady xv. That fast flow was alright for a while, but now we need that dope flow from the 8 mile soundtrack. That will solidify him as a great, rather than another boring fast/awkward/too technical flow that is awful to listen to.

Come on already put some damn new music out Em. But please stop all that shouting. Need to go back to the Eminem show flow…A Eminem show pt. 2 would be Awesome. Please Go back to the flow that made u the G.O.A.T of hip hop.
Yo Slim you need to make this happen you just need one more album I know you still got it in you you old fuck you going to be 45 years old come on now em. We all know you got another one in you you’re not oh fuck yet you’re still that young immature prick you always be the immature prick so let’s make it happen pop out the new fucking album go to the fucking lab with dr. Dre let’s you are still the goat go back to the old Eminem last album was Marshall Mathers LP 2 that was 2013 now you making some comedy shit which I understand you producing it we need to hear some music brother make it happen EM. Your fans awaiting we heard a little comment about October 17th when you turn 45 years old my albums coming out let’s see there make it happen
Personally, I hope Eminem doesn’t make another album with The Eminem Show era flow. Having one type of album like The Eminem Show is what makes it a classic album. It’d get old fast if every other other song he released sounded like that. The Eminem Show is definitely my favorite album of his, but his crazy, unpredictable flow in his post-Relapse albums is what keeps me interested.
But, ‘Till I Collapse was supah dope tho
Good rapper but you never see anyone bumping Eminem in their ride or in a party. His music fades quite fast.
And you’re not even that in Hip Hop.
Are Eminem stans the worst in hip hop? im a fan of slim but them kids/stans/weirdos always crying bout everything he does from not putting out more music to his beard to being the best rapper ever no one can come close smh just shut the fuck up and wait
