Nov 2, 2015 Post your dream / best case scenario for the future of Eminem and Shady records. Here's mine: The new D12 Mixtape makes Em realise how much his band has slipped since 2001. He gets back in the studio with them, they all do some funny immature s---, and come out with D12's final LP - almost on par with the original Devil's Night, as far are Beats, skits, Lyricism and Eminem Involvement are concerned. My salsa bonus track. Being in the studio with the g--- gets Eminem on his smooth MMLP flow again. He begins his next solo album, one of the songs being a posse track of D12, Obie, 50 cent and a couple more of the old Shady Records crew. This is the final time D12 make music, going out with a b--- and and unreleased Proof verse. Em's album involves a heavy amount of Dre & DJ Premier production, "b---- Please III", and a GOAT Nas feature. Also, Eminem and Kendrick get back in the booth and record a dark, back-and-forth lyrical masterpiece. (With an unreleased Nate Dogg hook.) Two bonus tracks: "Never Gave a f---", and a farewell from Ken Kaniff skit. Sometime before Em's album is released; GlassHouse drops. It's not poppy, and it's not overly rapid-fire. It's perfect - featuring a Black Hippy Collab, Yelawolf, Prhyme, Tech N9ne and a Medicine Man-like verse from Eminem. It also has a song with a catchy beat, and sample-based hook but concise, raw verses. This track gets a lot of radio play, and Slaughterhouse gain mass media exposure. Yelawolf drops "Trial by Fire" and it's a good mix of Arena Rap and Love Story. He continues to do his thing, but gets media attention from the lead single with a (decent) duo hook with Skylar Grey [or any poppy female IDC], and an Eminem feature. Also throw in a final Bad Meets Evil EP in there somewhere. Features from Dre, DJ Priemier, the Game, and Black Hippy. ... Shady records signs a couple young and relevant upcoming artists; modernizing their image. ... Years later, Eminem stars in a new movie. Obviously it doesn't top 8 Mile; but it's still dope. Similarly to Dre's "Compton", he drops a short project with practically no forewarning. 6 tracks - all hard hitting, reminiscent of The Eminem Show beats and wordplay. All of Shady Records is featured, a 50 cent collab, and a Detroit anthem. Bonus track: "Back in the Day (feat. Dr. Dre)". Fin.
Nov 2, 2015 What's described in the OP is nearly perfect Won't happen though. There's no happy ending with that label.
Nov 2, 2015 i used to have dreams for shady records but now I'm all like: just let Em drop his music and give up on the actually label
Nov 2, 2015 Lol.. Some time spent and d--- sure went to waste... I'Ll tell you the Best case scenario for Shady Records. Slaughterhouse drops Glass House and sell a lil more than previous s--- because of the increase in Eminem involvement in the project. Then, Yela drops a classic but awfully couldn't get the recognition he deserves like what happened with Love Story. Eminem does an one last album with D12 and D12 retire for good. And few new LPs of Eminem on the way and they actually have good production and listenable flow...
Nov 2, 2015 OP is perfect/flawless. Especially the first part about Em getting his smooth flow back ftw "Dare To Dream" as the next Eminem movie theme could be akin to "Lose Yourself" on '8 Mile' I still reckon Shady's sitting on "Dare To Dream" ... Then again, despite Paul's having bought the beat off Skepta, maybe there's still behind-the-scenes sampling issues we don't know about cheah We should all tweet Paul this or something.. Very well put @furiouslamb3 cheah!!!
Nov 3, 2015 I made a King Mathers LP/Mixtape a few weeks ago with his best work post hiatus and the album ended with Never Gave a f---(Medicine Man verse with a different beat). Never gave a f--- should be the title of his final song IMO. Best Ending Ever
Nov 3, 2015 So basically you want the exact 2002 Eminem back... But we are in 2015 guys, Eminem needs to evolve with a modern sound (which will probably not happen unfortunately) And of course the label should sign some young new talents.... Lol at having D12, Obie and 50 Cent back, they all sucks nowadays... OP's scenario would be so weird... I'd rather take a new Eminem album with some kind of material i would never expect than an attempt to re-do what he did in his prime.
Nov 3, 2015 Em's biggest downfall right now is that he's stuck in the past trying to bring back his prime. So I agree with this.
Nov 3, 2015 To be clear, I'm not saying Eminem should mimic his old self, I just want that flow back. And a ken kaniff skit + b---- Please sequel wouldn't hurt.
