Eminem has reignited excitement among fans, hinting that a collaborative album with his longtime partner-in-crime, 50 Cent, is still a possibility. During a Christmas Day interview on his Shade 45 radio station, Em—alongside his manager Paul Rosenberg—expressed enthusiasm for the idea.
A Long-Awaited Project
When asked if he would consider making the album with 50 Cent, Eminem responded, “That would be great. We just gotta stop bullshitting and do it. I would never say it’s not possible.”
Rosenberg echoed the sentiment, adding, “I would love to hear it, so whenever you guys are ready, we’re putting it out.”
The idea of a joint project isn’t new. Back in January, Eminem spoke about the prospects of teaming up with 50 Cent during an appearance on DJ Whoo Kid’s show, also on Shade 45. At the time, Em said, “I’m trying to get him to make a new album so bad. We need another 50 album, like, really bad. 50’s been on a roll since the tour.”
Mutual Admiration
Eminem expressed his eagerness to collaborate, saying, “I told him whatever the fck he needs from me, I’m here. That sht would be crazy, though—an album with me and him.”
While fans eagerly await this potential project, both Eminem and 50 Cent recently contributed verses to Snoop Dogg’s latest album, Missionary. Produced by Dr. Dre, their collaboration on the track “Gunz N Smoke” has already created buzz in the hip-hop community.
Eminem’s Grammy Predictions and Nominations
In other music-related news, Eminem shared his thoughts on Kendrick Lamar’s chances at the Grammys. The “Stan” rapper predicted a big night for K-Dot, stating, “The competition is tough, but Kendrick is going to sweep it. He deserves to.”
Kendrick’s hit “Not Like Us” is a frontrunner in major categories, including Record of the Year, Song of the Year, Best Music Video, Best Rap Song, and Best Rap Performance. Additionally, Kendrick earned nominations for his guest appearance on Metro Boomin and Future’s track “Like That.”
Eminem himself is also in the running for a Grammy. His track “Houdini” from his latest album, The Death of Slim Shady (Coup De Grâce), is nominated for Best Rap Performance.
Fans Hold Out Hope
While there’s no official confirmation of a joint album yet, Eminem’s willingness to make it happen keeps fans hopeful. With both artists’ legendary careers and history of creating iconic hits together, such a project could be a game-changer for the hip-hop world.
