• Eminem Shares "Psychopath Killer" Featuring Slaughter & Yelawolf From 'Shady XV' [LISTEN]

    Eminem's 'Shady XV' compilation is still a few days away, but today the legendary rapper shared one of the album's new tracks, titled "Psychopath Killer" (presumably because "Psycho Killer" was already taken), which you can check out here. The five-minute track features verses from YelaWolf and hip-hop supergroup Slaughterhouse, while Em closes out the whole thing with his trademark rapid-fire fury (though he unfortunately still finds time to throw in a gay slur, because he's apparently stuck in high school).
  • Shady Records to Drop a 66-Track Mixtape After 'Shady XV' Disc, Will Include Yelawolf, Slaughterhouse, 50 Cent [LISTEN]

    It looks like Eminem and his crew are going all-out for the 15th anniversary of Shady Records. They've already been promoting a two-CD compilation, "Shady XV," which hits retailers Nov. 24. Now it sounds like the rest of the tracks they couldn't fit on "Shady XV" will be included on a massive mixtape featuring 66 songs."You guys gave me 130 records," DJ Whoo Kid said on RapRadar, speaking about Shady's co-founder, Paul Rosenberg. "Physically, you can't fit all of them on 80-minute CDs, so we had to do a double disc."The project, which has yet to be titled, will run a whopping three hours. As MTV News notes, it sounds like the mixtape will be all old stuff."Just as a fan, you go back and you listen to some of the posse records, and the freestyles, and the remixes, crazy shit," Rosenberg said. "I forgot about all that stuff. And going back and listening to it, it brings back memories. So we did a two-CD thing."We figured since there's so many people that are gonna be saying, 'Ah, why didn't this song make it [on the album]? Why didn't that song make it?' We'll just do something to please everybody."Some artists to look out for include Em, Yelawolf, Slaughterhouse and 50 Cent. Rosenberg did not reveal a tracklist, but he did revisit "I Get Money (Remix)" and Slim Shady's version of "Wanksta."

"I don't even remember recording [it]. I don't even remember where I was at when I recorded it. I don't remember any of the first verse. I don't remember it. So he called me one day and told me about it. I was like, 'What?' He was like, 'Remember the scratched version of 'Lose Yourself'? I was like, 'No, I don't.'"
