Eminem NOT Retiring
On Friday The Detroit Free Press reported that Slim Shady is calling it quits after his current tour.
Turns out it was just a rumor, according to John Norris on TRL today. Sorry kids.

What's your source. Seemed like the Freep had plenty of interviews, quotes, etc., to make their case that he's likely to hang it up. You have a blog and just say it was only a rumor. How do you know?

FUCK!!

just cause you can post on a blog.. does that makes you king shit Not-em fan.. nice btw.. i bet you have all his CDs. ass.

I'm torn. I was hoping he'd devote more time to puppets.

um...actually, while marshall has obviously not confirmed it himself, it's a bit more than "just a rumor." everyone around him is fairly certain that encore is it for him. so unless you have an actual source to back this up, why post it?

Arcade Mike, I don't have a single Eminem CD. Nice try. You misinterpreted my comment. There's no hostility on my part. I would just like to know how Stereogum comes to the conclusion that it's only rumor. You, on the other hand, by tossing around such names as ass, are nothing more than internet trash.

holy moses.
It's scott's blog...he can write what he wants. Chances are, this post was made in humor, making fun of sites that do sort of jump all over the latest rumor mill concoction...
NEF -don't call people trash. Not nice. Tsk. :P

damn, that would have been fantastic. well, maybe not b/c then we'd have to see him "act."

Half the shit we post on here isn't nice, lifeordeath. I take that back. 79% (it's a rough estimate) of the shit we post on here isn't nice. That's what makes it so fun. Everyone is so angry and bitter inside from being in work, and we all talk shit on each other for relief. By the way, you're trash. Bitch...

This is a great marketing ploy... I haven't seen this much interest in Eminem since the MMLP controversy. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if this ends up helping ticket sales.

anyone else notice pitchfork's been retroactively modifying some review scores? stars got a .6 boost, which may not seem like a lot, but 7.8 to 8.4 is pretty big.

it's too bad. that last album was horrible - he should have quit after how bad it was.
Score = 0
it is very unlike this site not to name a source.
anyone else think eminem is the most over-rated rapper in history? if he wasn't white, where would he be?
Score = 0
let me rephrase that actually. it's his records i think are overrated, not his actual rapping abilities.

DAMN
seriously

hey Not-em fan... thats a diss.

what i heard is he's taking the dre route and stepping back from being a front man and concentrating on producing and finding new stars (like dre).

Lordy. Obvs. comments like 'be nice' or 'play nice' are not meant to be taken seriously on message board/comment page. I even added a 'tsk' and a ':P'...haha

that blows....what an untalented annoying hack...

oh, come on thissucks.
you can hate em all you want, but to call him untalented is just plain wrong. his talents are obvious. what he does with them, however, can definitely be called into question...

You all need to really listen to what Marshall has to say. He is a pure genious. You all suck

Whatever... EM is f-ing awesome and all of u need 2 shut the hell up- especially not em fan. I LOVE EMINEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BITCHES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Detroit Free Press reported that Mather?s latest album Encore will be his last release. Insiders told the paper that the rapper has been planning on retiring to concentrate on production and other ventures.
Eminem?s manager Paul Rosenberg told the paper that Encore was ?certainly the cap on this part of his career? and that decision to retire was held off by the retirement of fellow Hip-Hop superstar, Jay-Z.
?He didn't want to seem like one of those guys who's playing a trick on his fans, or playing with their heads," Rosenberg told The Detroit Free Press. "It's part of the same struggle he goes through in his music -- 'How much of my inner thinking should I be putting out there?'?
Rosenberg also stated he was surprised no one caught on to the possibility of Eminem retiring, due to numerous clues on the Encore album. An insider also stated that Eminem has grown weary of the spotlight and was struggling writing as ?Eminem.?
?Em has definitely gotten to the level where he feels like he's accomplished everything he can accomplish in rap," D-12 member Proof added. "He wants to kick back and get into the producing thing."
Insiders said Eminem?s inner-circle of friends knew in advance that Encore would be the best-selling rapper of all time?s last album.
there ya go guys...
