May 24, 2016 The pictures above of Eminem in/around his childhood. One is a promotional picture from 2013 whereas the other is a recent picture from this year. Some people have wondered if this picture is actually new, since it looks almost identical to the 2013 picture. The only real differences are Eminem's watch and his facial expression. Well, I'm here to help everyone really see if it's really a new picture or not. Let's begin with the obvious differences that I've stated: The watch is different. In the 2013 picture, the watch is white. In the 2016 one, the watch is black. The 2013 one looks slightly bigger as well. His facial expression is also noticeably different, too. Eminem's eyes are wider in the 2016 picture compared to the 2013 one. There's also the background and the fact that Ver 2 (from now on, let's just call the 2013 pic Ver 1 and the 2016 one Ver 2, you'll figure out why later) is in color and Ver 1 is not, but those are minor differences and even with those, the picture still could be in 2016. Now, on to some other facts... Eminem' house had a fire two days after the release of The Marshall Mathers LP 2. The house has also been destroyed since then and is no longer standing. Here is proof of that: This alone pretty much proves that Ver 2. could have not been released in 2016, as the house was destroyed by then. The picture was most likely extra promotional art for MMLP 2 but just went previously unreleased until now. I could see that happening. So... I'm sure that clears all that up. The picture is most likely not new, just previously unreleased (or an outtake) until now.
May 24, 2016 One other thing: What about Eminem's watch? Why is a different in one picture compared to the other? ANSWER: Em probably had a spare watch and switched up after the picture got taken. Either that, or these pictures were taken on different days (probably not, since Em is clearly wearing the exact same clothes but maybe he didn't mind doing so).
May 24, 2016 Thank you so much for posting this, and clearing everything up. I was honestly losing sleep over this. The mystery has finally been solved
May 24, 2016 was gonna say Photoshop, but the light seems consistent enough, and using the table as a prop (the shadow im talking about) would be out of their way.
May 25, 2016 the picture of him is probably new and the background was added in later. hair looks dyed different or photoshopped or something.
May 25, 2016 I actually do think he kind of looks older in the other photo but yeah, no one really cares
May 25, 2016 This thread turned out pretty badly tbh. Even posters who usually like me or are neutral towards me got pretty pissed at me for this thread.
