"He is continuing to work out of the spotlight, including several artists."
== Weird Al and Christina ==
Has anyone ever heard the song "Will the Real Slim Shady Please Shut the Fuck Up" (featuring Christina Aguilera) by Weird Al Yankovic?
I don't know about the reaction, but it slammed Eminem pretty hard...

== Large amount of redundant Info. ==
The section concerning his daughter Hallie needs to be cleaned up. Prior to this section, there is information about his daughter that is then repeated again 2 and sometimes 3 times. Almost as if there had been a seperate page on her that was later merged with the Eminem page.
it should probbbaly be moved to later in the article as well
== Apple lawsuit/settlement details? ==
Eminem sued apple for using one of his songs in an iPod advertisement without the proper rights. There was an out of court settlement part of which included the creation of the iPod ad that featured Eminem in 2005 or so. Why are there no details of this incident in the article?

== Proof Tribute ==
I'm just wondering, why can't we edit Eminem's Page? I have a picture of Eminem's Tribute to Proof from Akon's "Smack That" Video that would be great to use for the section about Proof.
I know I've not got good sources for the picture but it's because I don't 100% understand how the sourcing works. But I got the screencap from a You Tube Video if that helps.
How come it doesn't mention that proof murdered a man. Proof was a scumbag.

:A screen cap from a YouTube video isn't acceptable on Wikipedia, unless the article is about the video itself. Wikipedia strives to use only 100% free-use material, of which a frame from a music video does not count. When an article is specifically about a piece of copyrighted work, such as an individual music video, a frame from that would be FAIR use, and thus marginally acceptable, but it is not FREE use. I'm also curious as to why there is such a large section on Proof's death on Eminem's page. Proof has his own page, just a quick mention, along with a sourced quote, about how Proof's death was considered a major life even for Eminem would make sense. But this isn't a page on Proof, so there is no reason for a two paragraph section on his death. (The guy shot someone to death over an argument over pool, then was shot dead himself. Not exactly someone to admire there.) [[User:Ehurtley|Ehurtley]] 04:08, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

::'''Moved content:''' The comment by [[User:Ehurtley|Ehurtley]] about admiration (or non-admiration) of [[Proof]] notwithstanding, I have removed a substantial section of the off-topic material, as it is already included almost verbatim in the article on [[Proof]]. The portions directly relevant to [[Eminem]] are acceptable and were left in the article. Please note this does not reflect an opinion either way on the person(s) mentioned in the articles. Regardless of personal viewpoints (or perhaps, *especially* because of personal viewpoints), articles should be rigorously edited to remain on-topic.

No this is not an official Eminem album, it is one of many albums that contain B-Sides, Remixes and unused songs, they are called unofficial albums, usually DJ's or Music Production companies put them together. nor Eminem or Interscope/Aftermath have any hand in making these type of albums.

==Trivia Section==
The trivia section with stuff about Hailie is '''all''' unsourced. Should it be deleted? [[User:Superior1|Superior1]] 23:56, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
I am inclined to say yes. Damn near all the Trivia section is about Hailie, and last I checked this is an article about Eminem, not his daughter. I mean a few facts here or there could enhance the article undoubtedly, but it's dominated by her presence.[[User:69.248.173.137|69.248.173.137]] 00:24, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
==Hailie==
That shit about Hailie reveals way too much info. Anyone who considers themself to be a fan of Eminem's would know through his music that he wouldn't want anyone outside of family and probably close friends to know that much about his daughter. I bet it must also be wierd for Hailie to go on the internet and find damn near her entire life written by someone who almost certainly doesn't even know her personally. It's not right and it's not necessary. If it's not deleted soon, i'm gonna do it.
Yeah. Do it man. Delete all that about Hailie bc you KNOW Eminem would not want it here. AND you have my vote to delete the whole article bc you know Emineme woud not agree w most of it so until we get approval from him, we should err on the side of caution and just cut all the crap out. When Eminimemem gets time he will write a good article that only has truth and swear words that rhyme with it. [[User:RUReady2Testify|RUReady2Testify]] 01:05, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
: I don't know what information about Hailie had been posted here on Wikipedia, but I wish to make some points, and argue that there should be some information about her, not only because she's clearly an important aspect of Mathers's life and an inspiration to him musically, but because she is, despite being young, somewhat of a public figure.
: First, the unnamed first poster writes, "...written by someone who almost certainly doesn't even know her personally." More likely, it was written by a bunch of different persons, not just one person, who doesn't know her personally. I would suspect at approx. 99% of articles found on Wikipedia about famous persons were written entirely by persons who did not personally know the person about whom they were writing. How many people who contributed to the [[John Lennon]] page actually know John Lennon? How many people who contributed to the [[Kurt Cobain]] page actually knew Kurt Cobain?
: Secondly, [[User:RUReady2Testify|RUReady2Testify]] writes, "Delete all that about Hailie bc you KNOW Eminem would not want it here." It is irrelevant what Mr. Mathers would want here or not. I'm sure [[George W. Bush]] doesn't want certain things written on his Wikipedia page. Wikipedians are not in the business of making everyone feel comfy, but rather simply to provide objective information.
: Thirdly, [[User:RUReady2Testify|RUReady2Testify]] writes, "When Eminimemem gets time he will write a good article..." I don't know if you're joking here or being serious. Either way, persons are not really supposed to control what content appears on their own wikipedia pages, unless of course they add something about themselves backed up with some legitimate source.

== Family Section ==
I feel that the family section should be deleted. This is an encyclopedic entry about Eminem....having information about his brother does not belong here. Additionally, the section itself is very poorly written, with a casual tone, no citations, and a non-neutral point of view.--Scotsworth 06:28, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
*It's common for information about family members of notable to be added to their page because they aren't notable enough for their own entry, but still famous enough for people to look them up. So unless you can find another place for this info, I think this section is the best place to have it. The other problems you mention are things that require cleanup - not deletion. Why not turn it over to the [[Wikipedia:Cleanup Taskforce|cleanup task force]] and see if they can fix it up? - [[User:MacGyverMagic|Mgm]]|[[User talk:MacGyverMagic|<sup>(talk)</sup>]] 08:24, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

**I think that would be a great solution, since the information will still be there, because it is important (considering how important Hailie Jade is in Eminem's life and music), but would be cleaner, and more appropriate for an encyclopedic entry. --Scotsworth 09:56, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

I've noticed that someone has been cruising through many rappers wikipedia pages and adding their position on About.com's 50 greatest rappers list.

And he was named the 9th greatest rapper of all time on mtv´s list of the greatest rappers of all time.
He was also named number 3 on mtv 2's 22 Greatest MC's of the past 22 years and number 3 on vh1's 50 greatest rappers of all time.

:First off, do not be an imbecile and sign your comments. Secondly, only a RUMORED title for Eminem's next album has been released. "Cracka-Jack" is not a single by Eminem, nor is it a song by Eminem. Please take your childish behavior elsewhere.
:On a final note, Kon Artis posted on a D12 forum that D12 SHOULD have a single in a month (July) or two (August). If that is the case then D12's album will release before Eminem's. Do not look for an Eminem album in '07, especially when Ca$his, Stat Quo, and 50 Cent are planning on releasing their respected projects within the next six-and-a-half months.
