Official: Eminem back with new album

By Rav Singh, 27/09/2008

HIP hop, yer don't stop-especially if you're still SLIM SHADY.

That's right rap fans. Throw ya hands up in the air, and wave 'em like you just don't care . . . for I can reveal that the Em-pire will strike back this Christmas.

After years out of the rap game, the world's most popular lyrical gangster EMINEM is back and spitting dope rhymes in the studio again.

I understand that Slim Shady will stand up in style with a new album called King Mathers.

Slim, real name MARSHALL MATHERS III, revealed: "I'm writing and producing again, banging out tracks-and the music just gets better and better."

No doubt, homie . . .

The 35-year-old megastar has sold a staggering 80 MILLION records and now his label Interscope Records can't wait for his new release by the end of the year.

My source tells me: "It's exciting times and, of course, there's massive expectation surrounding this new record.

"But the fans need not worry about its quality. Most of the music's being mastered at the moment. There's a real belief the album will go stellar."

The 8 Mile actor has teamed up with fellow hip hop rhymesayer 50 CENT in the studio. I'm told the pair have been spending hour upon hour at the mixing desk in Em's Detroit home perfecting one of the biggest comebacks since the SPICE GIRLS.

"Eminem is out to realise his full potential," adds my man in the recording suite. "The volume and quality of music he's producing is prodigious."

It's good news for the controversial rapper after years of hurt. The star who brought us classics like Way I Am and Stan, confronted an addiction to sleeping pills in 2005.

But the doting dad-still embroiled in an ongoing slagging match with mum Debbie Nelson-has revealed that the worst is over and he can finally concentrate on his music, which is great news for his legion of fans.

He says: "For a while, I didn't want to go back to the studio. I went through some bad times but I'm coming out of those. It feels good."

i am ems number1 fan. i was in tears when i heard the number1 greatest news ever

By shahbaz.. Posted September 30 2008 at 1:19 PM.

I love how everyone says it's a comeback. Ok, he hasn't had a SOLO album out since 04 but he's still been active, he hasn't been out of the rap game at all. He's basically been active every year since he came out!

1999 - The Slim Shady LP
2000-2001 - The Marshall Mathers LP
2002-2003 - The Eminem Show / 8 Mile Soundtrack
2004-2005 - Encore / Curtain Call
2006 - The Re-Up
2007 - Production work / Mixes

Plus all the feature tracks and mixtapes galore.

Can't wait for the new album though, the fact that an official source has deemed the quality 'prodigious' has got me really excited now. Em's a lyrical genius, can't wait.

'Jump Around' is a House of Pain song. Clearly, Richard Hawks, you are a "huge fan".

By kanu.. Posted September 28 2008 at 9:03 AM.

He's alrite suppose. Ain't the main man that's for sure.jay z is the king of that. Listern to 99 problems then you know what iam on about. Sellin 80 million records doesn't mean your the best..its just means mainstream like you alot!

By dan g.. Posted September 28 2008 at 9:01 AM.

Oh yes this is great news. I am a huge fan and loved "jump around". Glad hes back in the words of the man himself "he will knock them out like john Macenroe" brilliant news.

By richard hawks.. Posted September 28 2008 at 8:17 AM.

Eminem isnt in the top 5 of lyricists ever. If he was a black rapper, he would be called average. And his last 2 albums were all rubbish.

By Clive.. Posted September 28 2008 at 8:09 AM.

Wrap up p.k. This man is a lyrical genious !! Away and listen to Kate Bush then !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

By Zamorano.. Posted September 28 2008 at 7:41 AM.

"Comeback" after two years? Not exactly Kate Bush, is it? But then again two years is about one sixth of the average age of the fans of this pocket-money thief.

By pk.. Posted September 28 2008 at 6:16 AM.

this is so old!!!! stlil xcited.. ems the best

By MM4.. Posted September 28 2008 at 2:02 AM.
