Better Picture

There really needs to be a better picture of Eminem. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 75.33.79.76 (talk) 03:19, 6 December 2006 (UTC).

Encore RIAA Certification

On RIAA.com it says Encore went 4x Platinum, not 1x Platinum. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by SlimShady6135 (talk • contribs) 20:59, 6 December 2006 (UTC).

Not according to the RIAA License2Kill 22:17, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

I searched for Artist: Eminem and Album: Encore on RIAA.com and this is what I got:

• EMINEM ENCORE 12/17/04 INTERSCOPE M (4) ALBUM SOLO Std
• EMINEM ENCORE 12/17/04 INTERSCOPE P ALBUM SOLO Std
• EMINEM ENCORE 12/17/04 INTERSCOPE G ALBUM SOLO Std

ye probly more xplstinum worldwode tho.

Hailie's song

In the rapped verse right?, what does Eminem actually say in the line, '...how proud I am that I got her, God I'm a daddy, I'm so glad that her mom didn't ???' Anyone who knows Slim well please tell me. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 82.47.117.137 (talk) 16:09, 7 December 2006 (UTC).

He says "abort her".

^ He actually says 'Want her' .. a low quality uncensored version is out which is where I heard this.

Active since 1995

I think that eminem was active since 1995. He made the song "fucking backstabber" with soul intent. That was in 1995 before Infinite --84.60.240.220 10:50, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

No shit but that wasnt a mainstream release or anything everyone had to start somewhere

Eminem impersonater

Yahoo! news story.

Eminem's Enemies

Eminem's Wiki NEEDS an Eminem's enimies article. It is the only noticably absent article.

You can also do it, but please write about them and insert appropriate references in the paragraph "Biography". --Baxtaba 18:27, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

Well, I'd do it, but I can never find a reliable source, and it might require that Em's page be cleaned up again.

Then do as you think better. --Baxtaba 21:37, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

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? Details: , . --64.230.120.63 16:28, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

Father

Why is there no mention of his father? Tommypowell 18:24, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

Very little is known of Marshall Mathers II unfortunately.Eminemfanatic

Actually, there is quite a bit, including a brother and sister Eminem has never met. http://myweb.ecomplanet.com/ESLI2146/mycustompage0015.htm 68.14.23.70 14:44, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Marilyn Manson

Where is the stuff about how he is friends with Marilyn Manson?72.184.201.3 18:00, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

marilyn manson appeared in THE WAY I AM video

We don't need the "emo fag" part.

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.

—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Cool King (talk • contribs) 15:21, 6 January 2007 (UTC).

A screen cap from a YouTube video isn't acceptable on Misplaced Pages, unless the article is about the video itself. Misplaced Pages 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.) Ehurtley 04:08, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

u cant be fuckin serious

Moved content: The comment by 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. Thanks dr.ef.tymac 21:58, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

Fuck All Y'all Mainstream Release

Someone put this in and I'm pretty sure that is made up. It's not referenced and it seems highly unlikely. BinoChrist 02:27, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

Remember, if someone posts a fake album, just take it off. People do it all the time.

Then why isn't this article protected. Sorry if this is dumb but I'm new to wikiediting. -- BinoChrist 21:53, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

Good Aritcle

I think this should be a good article nominee since it is very well written.

Yes, it is well written, but not well sourced.

Mariah Carrey vs Eminem???

-under "remarriage and second divorce" section...

the last line states that they made insulting songs about each other... did mariah really produce any? hmmm... all apologies if this is just something that i'm not aware of... -ks-

Doesn't Mariah deny ever being with Eminem?

Video Games?????

I saw that someone posted that he will be in the new Def Jam, and the new GTA. Until we see some evidence for that I'm deleting that bit. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Avenger1000 (talk • contribs) 18:40, 3 February 2007 (UTC).

He is only in the Dej Jam game as far as I know.

Hailie

Uh, is there a reason that Haillie Jade redirects here? They are not the same person at all, and deserve seperate pages. >_> --69.153.142.144 20:14, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

Because she doesn't need her own Wiki. Besides, there's an article on Hailie on Eminem's page. 71.53.49.49 02:26, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Protect His Page

we need to disable the abilty to edit em's page just like 50 and the rest of g-unit because obviously there are some eminem haters in this world that have labeled him which such comments as faggot and homo in the first sentence. i tried fixing that before but it was changed less than a couple minutes later back to the bad comments Black Panther7490 03:17, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

Mental Release ???

i'm not really sure his next album will be called "mental release" or "standing ovation" its prolly fake.... —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 213.103.146.127 (talk) 20:30, 17 February 2007 (UTC).

I apologize for posting the fake album

I thought the list with upcoming albums on it was real (some of the albums were real so I figured they all were) so I thought Mental Release was real so I added it. I did NOT however, add Standing Ovation or that collaboration with 50 Cent. I apologize for posting the fake album Mental Release but you guys really don't need to contact me countless times about it. SlimShady6135 21:02, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

does anyone know if eminem is circumsized or uncircumsized?

^Are you really expecting a serious answer? SlimShady6135 03:35, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

LOL, these stans are hilarious License2Kill 00:23, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

what r u saying, r u that obsessed

what bullshit are u niggaz talkin about

How come

Why isn't this site protected yet. Does anyone know how that works

protection 2

How can somebody protect a site on wikipedia anyway

The Re-Up did not sell as much as the SSLP and it also was not a mainstream release because it was promoting his label.

Personal Wealth and earnings

According to the Jermaine Dupri article Eminem is the 8th richest hip-hop entertainer and according to http://www.rollingstone.com/news/story/5933378/u2_dre_highest_earning_artists 19nth most richest earner earning about 19.4 million. Someone should put this up..

Isnt anybody puttin it up??

Read the above —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 59.92.194.178 (talk) 07:23, 3 March 2007 (UTC).

Poorly written first line

Is it just me, or is the first line of this article very poorly written? It doesn't even mention he is a celebrity/successful rap artist, let alone feature any structure. CombatRock 00:58, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Nope, it's not just you. At least one other person agrees it could use a rewrite. Now what. dr.ef.tymac 01:11, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Ahh good looks like it's been sorted now. --CombatRock 18:44, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Unreleased Collection (2001)

Is this an Eminem album? If yes, it should appear here.

File:Unreleased Collection.jpg

01-If I get Locked Up Tonight 02-Scary Movies 03-Stir Crazy 04-The Showdown 05-Watch Dees 06-Kids (Drugs Are Bad) 07-Hustlers & Hardcore 08-Hellbound (Remix) 09-The Anthem 10-Turn Me Loose 11-3 Verses 12-Get U Mad 13-Thug Luv (Remix) 14-Nuttin Ta Do Musselyuk 12:48, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

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.

Na it's some damn mixtape extra shit

My Dad's Gone Crazy

Doesn't the song "My Dad's Gone Crazy" from the album "The Eminem Show" feature Hailie Jade? Musselyuk 18:08, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

That was right. I looked for it by myself at D12 board. Musselyuk 08:30, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

Recent moves

The above user (Musselyuk) has renamed two albums (the re-up and curtain call). Can someone with more familiarity with the subject check to make sure these are in fact correct moves? Thank you. W3stfa11/ 14:56, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

Copied from my talk page and musselyuk

Good day sir. You can check the real albums names here: http://www.d12world.com/board/showthread.php?t=243665 "Curtain Call" is named "Curtain Call", not "Curtain Call: The Hits", and so is "The Re-Up". —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Musselyuk (talk • contribs) 01:37, 12 March 2007 (UTC).

I can't access the site without registering. Plus, that is not an authoritative and problably not reliable source. Both allmusic.com and amazon state the name the other way. I'm going to revert your changes. If you can find better sources, please state them on the respective talk pages before moving them. Thank you. W3stfa11/ 05:10, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

How about this? Eminem's official webstore lists the albums as "Re-Up" and "Curtain Call". Musselyuk 10:01, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Hmm... well his official records page says it's Curtain Call: The Hits. as well as Billboard.com discography page. W3stfa11/ 23:06, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

OK, look here: I actually think that both spellings are right. Musselyuk 01:28, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Removal of sections

Can someone tell me why there have been full sections removed from the article? That kind of "cleanup" seems a bit brutal... Murdockh 10:08, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

place of birth

The place of birth needs to be cited. At the moment, the persondata info and the infobox do not match. Is it St. Joseph or Kansans City? W3stfa11/ 17:53, 13 March 2007 (UTC) Kansas City, I've read about it.

I was just about to ask this. I wish I knew.SlimShady6135 05:23, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Whoever protected this article

You should probably remove this from the awards section: "2006 - Best butt for a male Rapper from the music video "Lose Yourself". (Lost to 50 Cents Candy Shop)"

Nathan Mathers' future rap career

There was no mention of it earlier so I've put information about it, but we need a citation. S

Quality Control

The first paragraph of the "Family" heading is as far from encyclopedic as possible; I abstained from reviewing the rest of the article. Will someone who has the appropriate information correct this section and ensure that the content of the rest of the article is kept objective and concise? .Absolution. 13:40, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

Trivia Section

The trivia section with stuff about Hailie is all unsourced. Should it be deleted? 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.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.

Its GOne

The stuff about Hailie jade Mathers and Nathan Mathers is gone as it was uncited and was too personal. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 59.92.181.122 (talk) 15:00, 26 March 2007 (UTC).

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 cleanup task force and see if they can fix it up? - Mgm| 08:24, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
• How do you feel about moving the link to his brother's article to the see also section (removing the rest of the text) and incorporating some of the info about his daughter in a more suitable tone in his biography section? - Mgm| 08:27, 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)

• If you go onto http://www.eminemlounge.com/index.php?id=eminem/family there is info about his family which could be used.

--Peterm1991 10:50, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

Picture

What is going on with the main picture? It changes from time to time, sometimes it vanishes, that should be stopped. Musselyuk 13:23, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

That is most likely due to copyright disputes and people's differing opinions on what image to put, and just experimentalism. (How's my driving?) ❖ 23:15, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
