Eminem also called in on TRL today

[AspirinE]

He just wants to build up suspence,


I have no doubt that he'll have a new album in two years, coz if he retired now,
he would leave hated.

[MuNxMuN]

i really hope he doesn't retire cuz he's one of my favorite rappers, but if he does retire to be with his family I won't hate him

[claire01]

I was told that on TRL when he was asked if he was retiring he said 'nah, it's like the final chapter of this part of Eminem, Until I know what my next move is gonna be. So I just decided to put out this album of basically the hits from my first 4 albums.'

[han4emz]

To be honest I think it's the end of the road, he probably doesn't even really wanna admit it to himself. I think thought it'd be KINDA easy for him to still do the odd song because if he has a recording studio at his house, he could easily record and write a song and still have time for his family. I don't know, maybe that's a selfish idea, lol.

[Curious]

coz if he retired now,
he would leave hated.

Hey Asp, what do you mean he would leave hated - isn't that a pretty strong word to use? I mean, ppl may not be as thrilled about Encore as about the other albums, and Fack is pretty s..... not to mention that ppl in Europe aren't pleased about him cancelling the tour (but there was a good reason why he did it) but hated? Isn't it more, I don't know, disappointment?

[han4emz]

Isn't it more, I don't know, disappointment?

Yes, I think that's probably more the right word.

well, that's a BIG disappointment, but yeah, hate is too strong word. ppl still have love for Em and they'll probably have even if he retired - i don't think there's another rapper in the world, recognised by almost everyone, loved by millions of groupies (well, now they're pissed off, cause he's planning to remarry lol) etc.. so, whatever will happen, Em will be still loved..

[Shadyluva]

happy for kim and eminem!!!

[MaD]

[claire01]

I don't have a link but here's a type up of what was said :

>
> Vanessa: Good, how you doin'? It's been a minute since we talked
to you here
>
> Em: Yeah! I've been good though, I mean i miss yall up there man
> Vanessa: Well yea, you took some time off after your last tour,
and your back in the biz and everything..everythings good for you now-
a-days?
>
> Em: Yeah, everythings good..I'm still workin, still producing you
know. But I been really uh, big into this uh, staying home-father
thing and kinda lovin' it...I ain't took a shower in like - a week
>
> V: Sweet!
>
> Em: Yeah
>
> V: Did you brush your teeth yet today?
>
> Em: Um, I brushed my teeth a couple of days ago I think
>
> V: That's alright, that's alright. Well now I wanna talk about
your new album out today - Curtain Call. It was released and
everyone's very excited about this. It's a greatest hits album but
what's that mean? Are you done writing new material for a minute..for
a while, or, this is just....?
>
> Em: It means..CAREER OVER
>
> V: NO
>
> Em: It means....that's how you know your career's over when you
call MTV, like I called up there the first time and they was like "Em
we don't need you right now, can you call back in about 10 minutes?"
>
> Vanessa & The Audience : awwwww
>
> Vanessa: So wait, is this like Curtain Call like foreal?..like
the last....
>
> Em: Nah. Seriously, its just..you know, its like the final
chapter of you know, this part of Eminem, you know..i guess
basically, so till i figure out what i'm doin' and what my next move
is. I guess..you know..I just decided to put out a collection of
basically the hits from the first 4 albums
>
> V: That's right, that's right. Until you re-invent yourself again
which we're gonna be excited for but on this album, you got 3 new
tracks on it...one of them being 'When I'm Gone' and this song, you
know, you always put your daughter first in your life and she -
obviously..you just said you love the staying at home dad thing..-
she's your world so is this kinda ...is this a chapter that you're
looking forward to or kinda..wanting to pass on to Hailie? Or is this
more like a situation you guys have gone through..this whole song and
everything
>
> Em: Well this song, I mean...actually I got 3 little one at
home..I got the 3 year old, I got Hailie - the middle one, and then
Alaina..my adopted neice but uhm...you know, the song the reason that
it's about Hailie so much, I mean this was a time period in my life i
mean everything is absolutely true in the song, but it was just like
a lot of guilt when i was on the grind like my career took off so
fast that I didn't even understand it, so let alone, her being at the
age she was at, couldn't understand why i was leaving so you know,
the piling the boxes in front of the door and all that stuff...she
really did that.
>
> V: Right right, well uh ..we are very excited and it's out right
now and since you couldn't be here, you did the next best thing the
whole audience bring 'em out here damien...is getting a copy of your
new album - curtain call. Em...a big thank you..everybody..
>
> Em interupts: Yes, Santa Claus is comin' early and also look out
for that Obie Trice album droppin' this first quarter and then we got
Stat Quo so..
>
> Vanessa: Alright, well listen... take care of yourself, do good
and come back to TRL, we miss you down here in New York City, we
wanna see you very soon
>
> Em: Yeah well I got that Lifetime Achievement Award..so I thought
ya'll was kickin' me out
>
> V: Hahahaha, no we'll make up another award for you. Em, come by
soon and thank you so much for callin' in..everybody thank him for
