Eminem Back With Book And Album
Tuesday, October 28th, 2008 | music news | No Comments
Good Ole Marshal Mathers, aka Shady, aka Eminem is back.
Eminem made his first public appearance in two years at the release party for his memoir “The Way I Am” – and his friend 50 Cent tells In Touch Weekly in a report that this is only the beginning of the (once again slim) Slim Shady’s comeback.

“He’s going to push the restart button,” the rapper says of Eminem’s upcoming album, Relapse. “While he was missing to the public, he wasn’t missing to me. When I go to Detroit, I stay at his house. The songs I’ve heard from him are incredible. He is letting Dr. Dre produce pretty much the whole album.
The 36-year-old superstar’s re-emergence comes four years after his last studio album, three years after he was treated for a sleep medication dependency and two years since the violent death of his best friend and the collapse of a second marriage to his childhood sweetheart.
His new track, “I’m Having a Relapse,” has caused a stir on the Web and is fueling talk of a new record and maybe even a tour.
But before Eminem moves forward musically, he first is taking a step back with a memoir out Tuesday that shares quite a few revelations about a man whose autobiographical lyrics have tantalized fans for years.
In “The Way I Am,” the man born Marshall Bruce Mathers III takes readers into his painful childhood and adolescence and inside the studio and beyond as the former Detroit, Michigan, factory floor sweeper and short-order cook enters the rap game and becomes a worldwide hip-hop sensation.
The book is 200-plus pages worth of text, behind-the-scenes photographs and reproductions of Eminem’s original lyric sheets — hotel stationery and other scraps of paper he used to scratch out partial verses of the songs that would make him famous: From “My Name Is” and “Stan” to “Lose Yourself” and “Without Me.”

Eminem Comeback?
Thursday, September 25th, 2008 | Celebrity News, Hot Pop Culture | No Comments
Eminem has been flying under the radar for several years now, producing tracks for other artists and occasionally showing up on his Shade 45 Sirius Satellite Radio channel. Recently, Em contributed a remix of Masta Ace‘s “Slaughtahouse” to Delicious Vinyl‘s Rmxxology album. But it looks like Slim Shady might finally be ready to release another record of his own work. The Rapper recently appeared on his Shade 45 channel and talked with deejay Tony Touch about what he’s been up to lately.
“I always do side projects and produce for artists on the label,” he told Tony Touch. “I’m concentrating on my own stuff right now — just banging out tracks. The more I keep producing, the better it seems I get. I start knowing stuff, learning the boards like the back of my hands.”
Eminem did not offer specific details about an album or release date. However, his comrade 50 Cent told U.K. reporters that he recently did some recording with Em for the album.
“I had the opportunity to sit with [Eminem] two and half weeks ago for his project,” 50 told reporters. “I stayed with him for the weekend. His project is coming together. They’re not gonna be excited till they hear the first single, then they’re just gonna go right back to loving him all over again. They’re gonna love Em like they loved him the first time he came.”
