| Eminem news: 4 / 10 / 00 Good news. The date on Eminem's new album, The Marshall Mathers LP, has moved ahead to May 23, 2000. Listen to your local radio mixshows on the weekend of April 21, 2000 for the debut of "The Real Slim Shady". The world video premier of "The Real Slim Shady" will be on MTV's Making of the Video program on April 24, 2000. Ask for it by name! 3 / 07 / 00 It was a long process. It has been a grueling 6 months for the world's most shady m.c. But, the hard work has paid off. The man that hates everyone and that everyone loves has completed his new album, 'The Marshall Mathers LP'. The stunning collection of lyrical nightmares features a whopping 16 tracks. The album was executive produced by none other than Dr. Dre. Dre also produced 7 of the tracks on the album, including the lead-off "The Real Slim Shady", which is sure to offend everyone. The rest of the album was produced by Eminem and F.B.T Productions, with one track from Eminem's deejay, D.J. Head, and one track from the legendary Mark the 45 King. Collaborations on the album include RBX & Sticky Fingaz, a song featuring Eminem's hometown crew (and Shady Records signees) D-12, and an all-star line up of West Coast favorites for "Bitch Please 2". The good news is that the first single will be out at the end of this month. The bad news is that you have to wait until May 30, 2000 to go out and steal the album. 3 / 01 / 2000 EMINEM UP FOR THREE ONLINE HIP-HOP AWARDS After sweeping the Grammy's, Marshall Mathers is up for three awards at this year's Online Hip-Hop Awards, including "Best New Artist", "Best Video" for "Guilty Conscience", and "Best Artist Website" for Eminem.Com!

Out of three nominations, Slim Shady took home awards for Best Rap Album (for "The Slim Shady LP") and Best Rap Solo Performance for "My Name Is". Watch what Em does in 2000..... 2 / 01 / 2000 EMINEM ANNOUNCES TITLE OF NEW ALBUM TO BE RELEASED THIS SPRING After the look inside the mind of Eminem’s alter ego on last years The Slim Shady LP, you’re probably wondering where he’s going now – what’s the next level? The next level is the side of Eminem that’s possibly more frightening than Slim Shady. The side more disturbed than Eminem himself. The side that’s been waiting in the shadows to spit rhymes at an unsuspecting public for years. The side you’re seeing in newspapers, TV, and gossip columns. The side that’s the title of the upcoming album: The Marshall Mathers LP. Eminem’s already said he’s going to be responding to everything that’s happened to him in the last year on the new album…everything that’s gone on since The Slim Shady LP has hit triple platinum. Who better than the man behind the men, the one who’s lived through it all? The Marshall Mathers LP – hitting you like a drunk driver this spring. 1 / 31 / 2000 Slim Shady's second album "THE MARSHALL MATHERS LP" is almost finished and will be in stores in late Spring on Interscope / Aftermath. Six tracks produced by Dr. Dre. More information to come. You heard it here first!! 1 / 07 / 2000 None of us died. Well at least none of us reading this did. In an amazing feat of human courage, Eminem spent the last month of the year 1999 fixing the world's computers by eliminating the Y2K bug. Scientists discovered that the Y2K computer bug was actually the bug up Eminem's ass. Thus, it took him a month of deep psychotherapy and intense counseling to remove the bug. But, prior to the stroke of midnight, on December 31, 1999, Eminem came to the revelation that: "...I guess I am an angry little man", and the bug was thereby removed from his ass. All computers were simultaneously fixed, and we are all able to live. Thanks, Shady. Between XMas and the year 2000, Em to a trip to LA,LA to meet up with Dr. Dre for the filming of the "Forgot About Dre" video. The video was directed by Phillip Atwell and the good Doctor. Most of it was shot on the Universal Studios back-lot. MTV was on hand to film a "making of the video" special. The video is in the editing process, and it will debut in mid-January on MTV. It doesn't seem that anyone really forgot about Dre at all, did they? Congratulations goes out to the Doc, who has sold 2 million copies of 2001 in just 7 weeks! Eminem performed New Year's Eve at New York's infamous night spot, The Tunnel. In case anyone doesn't know, this is the same spot that was featured in Larry Clark's controversial film "Kids", which Em spoke of in "Guilty Conscience". Em rocked the house hard, performing "If I Get Locked Up" (from Funkmaster Flex & Big Kap's album The Tunnel), and his verses from Notorious B.I.G.'s "Dead Wrong" and "Forgot About Dre". It was quite a show! Afterwards Shady and his crew stumbled to New York hotspot Chaos for Pee Diddy's party, where everyone drank themselves to sleep. Now, for what you are all reading this for: Eminem's new LP, still untitled, will be wrapped up this month. What does that mean for you? That you should expect a new single sometime in February, and the album in late March or early April. Keep us locked, people. This is the only place to find out the real scoop on the new album anywhere in the world. When he isn't being a big stingy bastard, Eminem's manager Paul Rosenberg has let some lucky people listen to a few of the tracks that he keeps locked up in the safe in his office. Lets just say that you wont be dissapointed... In other Shady news, Shady Records, along with Goliath Artists (Paul Rosenberg's managment company) opens their new offices next week in New York City. Although Eminem obviously won't be in the offices every morning drinking coffee and watching The View, Slim will be conducting his business from that central location. Look for stories with photos of the new spot to pop up in the press all throughout the beginning of this year. Eminem was named Rolling Stone magazine's Best New Artist for 1999! Also, in case you haven't heard, Slim was nominated for 3 Grammy Awards! The nomiations include Best Rap Album for "The Slim Shady LP", Best Duo or Group for "Guilty Conscience" feat. Dr. Dre, and Best Male Solo - Rap. The awards are on February 23rd, 2000 in Los Angeles. Watch 'em. The 1999 American Music Awards will be held on January 17, 2000 in Los Angeles at the Shrine Theater. Special featured performance: Eminem and Dr. Dre! Watch those, too. Now on to a serious note. Eminem's grandmother. We know you have all heard the story that she wants to sue Eminem, too. To clear up the confusion, the story goes like this: Eminem's late uncle Ronnie grew up with Eminem and was the same age. They both started getting into rap music at the same time, and used to practice early recordings as a loose "group", with the two of them beatboxing and freestyling on cheap home recordings. Em came accross one of the tapes recently, and asked his grandmother, Ronnie's mother, whether he could use the cassette on his next album as a tribute to Ronnie. At first, she said fine. After a dispute over a separate matter with Em, she said "no way" and threatened to sue him if he used it. THAT'S IT! The album hasn't been completed, the tape was never added, it was just an idea. If his grandmother won't let him use the tape and pay tribute to her deceased son, so be it. It won't be used... As far as the site goes, check out the all new photo gallery, a new EM-P3 "Just Rhymin' With Proof", and all new Eminem merchandise at www.EminemDirect.com! Peep the links on the frontpage.... Hey! Thats it for now. Take care of em'! 11/16 I am sad to begin this latest installment of the Eminem.Com newswire with a down note: The Slim Shady European Tour was cut short. Eminem's throat went out, he came down with a chest infection and needed doctor recommend bed rest for a week. Our apologies go out to all the Slim thirsty fans in Copenahgen, Hamburg and Malmo. We hope to catch all of you next year at the festivals. On the upside, the European Tour was a great success overall. Peace goes out to all the "punters" that showed up all over to witness the hour long Eminem set, along with openers The High & Mighty. The hypest crowd in Europe award goes out to Glasgow, Scotland! The worst food in Europe award goes out to Chemitz, Germany! The best women award goes out to Stockholm, Sweden! The best after-party award goes out to London, UK for the Polydor UK sponsored Gold party at Astoria! (a lapdance joint)-- the Absinthe was flowing like tap lager...) Peace and love to all of you, and check here soon for exclusive pictures, and footage of the London concert and "Still Don't Give a Fuck" live in Stockholm. Eminem goes off next week to Los Angeles next weekend to record the video for "Forgot About Dre" from Doctor Dre's 2001 album. It is in stores now, go cop it. 11/06 I hope all y'all had a chance to check out Eminem and Dr. Dre's performance of the instant classic "Forgot About Dre" on Saturday Night Live on October 23rd. It was truly a moment that everyone is talking about, and has built the anticipation for Dr. Dre's "2001" album, which hits stores on October 16th. Eminem also appears on "What's The Difference" with Dre and Xzibit on "2001". Go buy it as soon as you possibly can. You won't be sorry. Speaking of which, the Doctor and Slim are going to film a video for "Forgot About Dre" at the end of this month. Look for it in early December on your favorite video source. Big shout out to all the European fans who are out supporting Slim during his Slim Shady European Tour which is going on right now. Everyone out in Europe has shown tremendous love for Em, and the best is yet to come- 2 shows in London on November 8th and 9th and a show in Eminem's favorite spot, AMSTERDAM on November 12th. If you have the means, we 'highly' recommend attendance. Look for exclusive footage from the tour to pop up on our home page soon, and check out the 'Appearances' section for a Euro tour schedule. To put everyone up to date, these are the projects Eminem will be appearing on before year's end: "My Fault" (Pizza Mix) on the Celebrity Deathmatch Soundtrack (MTV/Interscope), Funkmaster Flex & Big Kap album (Def Jam), DJ Clue?'s new mixtape album (Def Jam), "Dead Wrong Remix" on Notorious B.I.G.'s "Born Again" album (Bad Boy), "Bad Influence" on the End Of Days soundtrack (Interscope), Next Friday soundtrack (Priority Records) and, of course, the Dr. Dre's "2001" album. Is that enough to quench even your Shadiest thirst? We hope so. If not, just wait until the next album drops in the first part of 2001, along with a song on The Madd Rapper's album (Sony), Royce The 5'9"'s album (Tommy Boy) and Tony Touch's Piecemaker LP (Tommy Boy). D-12 (Dirty Dozen) will be dropping a quick 12" on vinyl only on Shady Records in January. You will be able to pick it up here, or at your local vinyl spot. BIG NEWS: Eminem.Com inks deal with Artist Direct, HipHopSite: Sources close to Eminem (me) say that Eminem.Com has inked an exclusive deal with ArtistDirect.Com to be the new home of the site, which will be linked to a brand spanking new On-Line Eminem store ran by the folks at Artist Direct. The deal also includes the creative team at HipHopSite.Com, who have been bringing you Eminem.Com from day one, along with Eminem's manager's firm, Goliath Artists. The site will re-launch early next year with an all new look and feel. Expect the store to include products not available anywhere else, including the much anticipated "Fuck You Mummy" statue, which is a plastic 3-D version of the illustration in the Slim Shady LP artwork interior.

As always, check back here soon for details! 9/28 From MTV.Com: Eminem To Executive Produce D-12 Album For Hometown Crew Eminem appeared onstage alongside mentor Dr. Dre and compatriot Snoop Dogg this past weekend in Oahu, Hawaii for a special appearance at The Concert on Chronic Island. The "Slim Shady" rapper will take the next month off before launching a European tour on October 21 in Amsterdam, but Eminem recently told MTV News that he's anxious to continue work on several projects, including producing an album from newcomers D-12. Comprised of MCs Proof, Bizarre, Von, Denine, and Swift, the D-12 (which stands for Dirty Dozen) rap collective consists of many of Eminem's Detroit friends, and he recently signed the group (which he often performs with) to his new label, an offshoot of his deal with Interscope Records. "Well, I just got my own label deal with Interscope Records," Eminem told MTV News. "It's called Shady Records, and I got a group called D-12 that I'm bringing out [on the label]. That's like my crew from back home, back in Detroit, and I'm planning on executive producing them." "I'm going to be in there," he continued. "I'm going to be on the album, and I'm gonna be there in the studio, creating stuff or whatnot. It's going to be dope, it's going to be hot. I'm bringing heat with this group." [RealVideo] In addition to the D12 record, Eminem is also planning to wrap work on his own new LP before the European excursion starts (see "Eminem To Get 'Angrier' For New Album, Will Finish LP Before European Tour"). According to a publicist for Interscope, the Eminem-produced D-12 album isn't expected to arrive in stores until sometime next year. -- David Basham 9/07 As you all know, Eminem has been in the studio for the last three weeks working on his forthcoming, as yet untitled LP.

If you are in the rotten apple, stop by and say "high!" Look for the D-12 song "Get Back", featuring Proof, Bizarre and Slim Shady on Tony Touch's forthcoming "Piecemaker" LP on Tommy Boy Records.
