Eminem Returns To The Mic!

Eminem releases Marshall Mathers LP 2 in the fourth quarter.

The famous, controversial and yet very reclusive rapper Eminem will emerge again to release a highly anticipated album around November.

Heading back into the studio with his mentor Dr. Dre, the famous entertainer will release the Marshall Mathers LP 2. His album will feature his darker style of rapping. It will feature production from Dr. Dre, NoID, Symbolyc One (S1) and Rick Rubin. The only features include Fun frontman Nate Ruess, pop singer Rihanna, label mate Kendrick Lamar, his affiliated artist Skylar Gary.

This album first single Bezerk was release in August and getting radio play. The two most recent singles Survival and Rap God are out as well.

Eminem has an unique rap style. It's considered dark, edgy and named several MCs who influenced his rapping style. First and foremost is his mentor, Dr. Dre, whose thick, muscular, terror- and paranoia-evoking loops have seen reincarnations in the work of Eminem.

Other influences have included Esham, Kool G Rap, Masta Ace, Big Daddy Kane, Newcleus, Ice-T, Mantronix, Melle Mel (specifically the track "The Message"), LL Cool J,  Beastie Boys, Run–D.M.C., Rakim, and Boogie Down Productions.

A brief summary of The Marshall Mathers LP.

The Marshall Mathers LP sold more than 1.76 million copies in the US in the first week alone, becoming the fastest-selling studio album by any solo artist in American music history. In 2001, the album won the Grammy Award for Best Rap Album and was nominated for Album of the Year. The album was certified diamond by the Recording Industry Association of America in 2011 for shipping 10 million copies in the United States.

Since its release in 2000, the album sold 10,598,000 copies in the US and more than 21 million copies worldwide.

The Marshall Mathers LP has been ranked as one of the greatest hip hop albums of all time by Rolling Stone, Time, and XXL.

Rolling Stone placed the album at number 7 on its list of the best albums of the 2000s.

The rapper also has a parenthood moment. ABC News reports that Eminem was reportedly on hand to see his daughter crowned homecoming queen of her Michigan high school last Friday.

Hailie Scott, 17, the rapper’s only biological child with ex-wife Kimberly Scott, was voted homecoming queen of Chippewa Valley High School. Tyler Knepp, a self-described nerd who loves “Star Trek,” was named homecoming king.

According to the local newspaper The Macomb Daily, Eminem watched the proceedings from a classroom inside the high school.

“Hailie came out with her mother Kim (Scott) when she was introduced with all the other kids but her father watched from inside the school because he didn't want to cause a scene — he wanted Hailie to have her own moment,” one parent, who asked not to be identified, told the paper.

Another parent said Eminem was beaming when his daughter’s name was called.

“He opened the door and looked out like — ‘That’s my daughter!’ He just looked like a proud father,” the parent, who also declined to be identified, said.

Eminem has been vocal about his love for his daughter, even including her voice on his 2002 track “My Dad’s Gone Crazy.”

Parents of students who are friends with Scott described her as smart, athletic and caring.

“I think all of the kids in the district have shown respect to their family and just let her live a normal life here out of the spotlight,” one parent, who asked not to be identified, told The Macomb Daily.

Eminem will turn 41 years old on October 17.
