The possibility of a new Eminem album inching its way to the masses is looking more and more like a reality. On Wednesday (September 11), a mysterious upload to Eminem’s YouTube page got the internet all riled up.
The video is an audio track that sounds like smooth jazz from Kenny G. The cover art reads: “PhilipJones16” and “THE REAL SLIM SHADY.” It’s coupled with a peaceful photo of an empty country road.
The rollout for 2017’s Revival started off similarly. But instead of smooth jazz, Em’s team built a whole campaign around a fictitious prescription drug called Revival. The campaign kicked off in October of that year and by December, Em’s ninth studio album had arrived.
Last month, Em posted a rather cryptic tweet that many believed was aimed at Lord Jamar considering it followed his controversial statements about the Detroit-bred rap god.
“People think they want this problem ’til they get it,” he wrote.
Slim Shady fans — or Stans as they are often called — have now flocked to Twitter, trying to decipher what the latest YouTube clip means. Is it a new song? A joke? The beginning of a new album rollout?
Whatever it is, it has people talking.
Check out some of the reactions below.
Streets don’t listen to Eminem. Only older white people, because even the young people aint falling for Em’s corniness.
Streets is dead tho
Em’s sold 100 million records worldwide.. f the streets
And eminem would sell nowhere near that amount if he came out today. Drake would kick the shut out of him easily.
Also, eminem sold out and does pop crap. Drake is becoming more successful while staying in hiphop and rhythm and blues.
Uh he out sold drake on his last album….are you retarded?
lmao you cant even compare drake to eminem for one eminem writes his own shit he’s a artist Drake doesn’t write his own shit hes a performer huge difference. He could come out with anything and people would eat that shit up drake is only famous because he has a huge female fan base ie single mothers with nappy hair . Facts Drake has no street cred i know street cats from Portland to cali who bump eminem over drake
Drake is hip hop???? Hahahahaha drakes the biggest sellout going. Just jumps from whatever genre is popping to the next. Go to the dictionary and look up culture vulture, there will be a picture of drake.
Says you and anyone else who listens to people who can’t pronounce words correctly. Stfu if you dont like em. We as fans dont like you either but we dont go on your social media pages to tell you cuz YOU are the one who is irrelevant
Eminem is irrelevant today. His last 2 albums both flopped and his singles dropped off quick.
Lmfao yeah ok.. if by irrelevant you mean makes more money than you and your favorite rapper sure. You lame fucks are delusional. You just say what you want to be true and prevent it as fact. Talking about irrelevant like your someone. Lol.
Drake and diddy are 2 of my favourite rappers. They make more than every rapper aside from maybe dre.
Diddy rich off Ciroc please. Em has more money than Drake by a little bit.
Drake and diddy are your favourites – do you actually listen to rap or just the charts
Hahahahaha way to try and name drop the two artist you think sell most. Lmfao you are trash. Everyone loves to hate on Em but he consistently sells. I don’t love everything he drops but people like Eminem. Numbers don’t lie.
Lol last album flopped. You are really stupid if you think that. What a ridiculous statement.
Brush ya “teef” bro
i listen to your mom
Dumb NlG
I hope he posts some more of those videos where he rhymes for 20 minutes straight running out of breath and over emphasizing every punchline
Stans wil say “this is as good as Eminem in the early 2000s”. That’s what all stans of all artists say haha. No, Kamikaze wasn’t near the caliber of his legendary music. And Em… Well, aside from his fringe group of Stans… Sucks. From 1998 to 2005 he was the most talented mainstream MC. Since then, not at all. Still very talented, but once Dre stopped making his beats, he’s been shitty.
dummy you know how many dre produced em tracks there on eminem solo albums? his best work barely had any dre on it.
slim shady LP: 3
marshall mathers lp: 5
Eminem show: 3
encore: 8
relapse: 14
recovery: 1
mmlp2: 0
revival: 0
kamikaze: 0
Yea this guy has no fucking clue what hes saying, there are more dre produced tracks on relapse then pretty much every other eminem album combined
Kamikaze is Ems 3rd best album of all time don’t @ me
4th in my opinion. It goes mmlp1, eminemshow, relapse, then kamikaze
No KAMIZAKE
Hey i wanna see you eat my wifes tight pussy then fuck her (412)295-4451
EM is TRASH !!! GOAT…..Hahahaha !!!
I’ll check it out if he releases something, not holding my breath for a good album though.
Got damn, first he slayed the rap game, now he’s taking over jazz, is there anything this man can’t do
Eminem has been wack since The Marshall Mathers LP ese!
I would say since Eminem Show which was his best album IMO. But yea, dude is garbage.
i would say relapse but yeah dude is garbage.
i would say recovery but yeah dude is definitely garbage
I would say revival but dude is actually better than everyone but nasty nas
Em the goat. You lame corn balls keep listening to lil uzi and pump lmaooo
You’ve been wack since you were born. Go do your chores little boy.
More wack shit from the pop star. He can’t do a straight hip hop album because corny ass pop fans wouldn’t buy it. MM has always been a fraud. He needs black cosigners for credibility. His raps are wack as hell. MM is a pop star. Other pop stars sell more records than him. He’s not even the goat of the pop world. There is nothing special about MM, Elvis 2.0.

This sounds like jazz mixed with heavy rock drums and everything mastered by Dr Dre. Just listen to how crisp the drums and bass sound, that just oozes Dr Dre production
