Is Eminem retiring? So suggests a big package of stories today in his hometown paper, the Detroit Free Press. His pals are saying he wants to quit while he’s ahead, that his Sept. 17 show in Ireland will be his last, and that last year’s Encore will be his final CD as a rapper.
Of course, he’ll only be ”retiring” in the Jay-Z sense; as with Jay, there’s still a lot on his plate, including producing jobs, running his label, and his satellite radio station. (Jay-Z, who staged his own death in the ”99 Problems” video as a metaphor for his own farewell to the mic, is also the apparent inspiration for a clip Eminem is showing in concert, in which he appears to shoot himself in the temple, only to emerge unscathed and announce, ”This is how you go out with a bang, baby!”)
Still, even if Marshall Mathers is busy offstage, what does it mean that there might be no more Slim Shady? Is this a sign of the rapocalypse, or will someone just as big come along to fill the vacuum?
Quit while he’s ahead… give me a break. If that were a case, then he would have quit after his Oscar win for best song Lose Yourself… which it wasn’t worthy of. The Academy only gave it to him because they wanted to show that they were “down wit’ it”. He hasn’t released anything good in awhile and he’s just sliding by with half-a$$ed raps and stealing classic other peoples music. He’s turned into Will Smith… “so f*ck him and f*ck you too” slim shady, Mr. “I need to course to sell records”. Eminem is a sell out and not working to his full potential because he’s lazy… I’m glad he’s retiring.
You’re an idiot Vincent.
Lose Yourself was completely deserving of the Oscar that it won, it’s a brilliant song. And if you really believe he’s turned into Will Smith, you clearly know NOTHING about hip-hop.
Aren’t all famous rappers sell outs? and everyone who is on MTV?
I got the impression from the Free Press coverage that this in fact would NOT be a retirement “in the Jay-Z sense.”
I mean, his manager explicitly says that in the story.
drew,

for real.

If he is…then so be it..it’s his choice.
HE IS WHATEVER YOU SAY HE IS ..he won’t let you control him cuz you don’t own him, he ain’t your property so if he’s retiring then let him then. Eminem will be and will always be a legendary white rapper. There will be no MTV without EMINEM. So he retires, MTV can go to hell cuz there’s nothing left to watch without EMINEM.
But I respect his decision cuz he probably is tired out.
EMINEM, do whatever you want but just wanna let you know that no matter what colour you are [let's say one day you fall drunk and painted yourself green] black/white you are still SO SPECIAL TO me in my eyes.
You are more than just a rapper or a producer..you’re better than all that…so just remember that even the day before you were came into this world you’re special already. U went through a bad bad bad past but now PEACE with you…if I were you in your shoes in those days I’d probably hang myself instead of carrying on.
How can you? How? See, you’re stronger than a lot of peeps.
vincent reality chek bi*ch ….dont u kno anythin? Em’s the best….i sometimes consider him bigger than Pac…he aint all that pop-rap sh*t ..he jus tells it like it is…so im gon miss him..jus listen to ‘When Im Gone’ wheneva i do…so f**k you
