"I can give a fuck what category you place me...
As long as you place me amongst one of the greats
When I hit the heavenly gates I'll be cool beside Jay-Z" -
Eminem

Eminem Hangs Up His Mic:

Details of Em's Retirement.

Now you know what retirement means, don't you. Quadruple guest appearances on all G-Unit/Shady/Aftermath recordings, passing the baton to Bizarre, releasing previously unreleased remixes of released tracks, leaking exclusive freestyles, and banging out 500 similarly-sounding beats a year.
