Eminem: I’m retiring, Me: Stop lying
According to the Detroit Free Press and Paul Rosenberg, Em’s manager, his last album Encore will be his last. Apparently he had this planned from the beginning but didn’t announce it because of Jay-Z’s planned ‘retirement’ and according to Rosenberg: “He didn’t want to seem like one of those guys who’s playing a trick on his fans, or playing with their heads". All I have to say is: motherfucker stop lying! I don’t think any of the other rappers who ‘retired’ in the past few years have actually stayed retired. Let’s see we have Master P, who just dropped an album, Too Short, who retired then dropped an album, DMX whose album is due out next month, Mase who we just ‘Welcomed Back’, and the list goes on and on….So Em, please give me a fucking break, you ain’t going nowhere. You know damn well that your just like Jay and you can’t live and not touch a mic.
He says that he’s retiring to focus on being a producer full time, so your telling me he’s gonna still be in the studio making beats working with other artists and not ever wanna spit a 16? Stop the lies guy. If you retire what are all those fake white rap fans you created gonna listen to, cuz you know damn well your the only hip hop they know anything about. Anyway holla in the comments section if you feel me. (no ‘mo)

I happen to work at the Free Press. And although I was not directly involved with the production of this particular story, I can assure you that this was by no means some sort of “marketing scheme” that was pushed by Eminem’s handlers.
From what I know, the article came together over several weeks of reporting and required an intensive effort by our music writer, Brian McCollum.
I get the impression McCollum encountered resistance from many of the Shady higher-ups. In other words, it’s highly unlikely that this is some kind of slick marketing move. The Free Press got the story because the paper has been covering Eminem before anybody else ever heard of the guy, and was able to use the hometown connections to turn up information that the bigwigs didn’t want out there.

I cant believe what im hearing, he may be retireing but I can tell u its DEFINATELY NOT cause of 50 and his beats, and if anyone listened to his album instead of skimming through it u wouldve known he was contemplating retiring.
