Eminem NOT retiring.

[Ammer]

LATEST: EMINEM insists he plans to continue with his rap career, despite reports he's set to hang up his microphone.

Last week (ends17JUL05), reports emerged in the rapper's hometown of Detroit, Michigan, quoting sources close to the star as saying he planned to bow out of performing following his current Anger Management Tour.

The WITHOUT ME rapper's show at Dublin, Ireland's Slane Castle on 17 September (05) was billed by some sources as his last ever live appearance.

But Eminem, real name MARSHALL MATHERS III, tells MTV News, "I'm not retiring. When I say I'm taking a break, I'm taking a break from my music to go in the studio and produce my other artists and put their albums out. That's called taking a break for me.

"When I know my next move, I'll tell everyone my next move. Not some reporter who writes a story about 'This is Eminem's last album'. I never said (ENCORE) was my last album. I never said anything yet. I don't know what I'm doing yet. Nothing is definite, you know what I'm sayin'? Nothing is written in stone.

"I know that I'm not gonna be rapping forever, I know that much. As long as I feel like I got the energy in me to do it, and the spirit, and I can do it, I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna always make music, whether I'm just sittin' behind the boards and producing and making beats and puttin' my other artists out there, or if I do decide to do another tour or make another album. When I start doing that, people will know."

Darn.

*commences lee wootage*
he was talented and everything... but good riddance.

[Drake Redcrest]

Watch, in three years he'll be on some celebrity reality show and make a come back.

[Kittie]

He was the only rapper I actually liked. Oh well.

[.:Compact Disk:.]

*Squees*

I'M SO HAPPY!

I'M SO HAPPY I'M CRYING!

Damn. I liked him. His raps weren't all about sex like most of the raps today. Well. Some were, undoubtedly. But he had more of a sense of humor than lots of rap artists. Mockingbird was a touching song. And "Smurf Like That" is meant to get laughs. And it got them. From me, at least.

I don't like rap, but I think he was pretty good at it. He had personality.

-coughs and points to Jay-Z-

[Taco]

it doesn't really phase me, I never listened to him, and he never got in the way of my TV screen.


so that's cool.

I guess he's finally decided to "lose himself".

Ok, yeah that was a bad joke. Bad joke. No supper for you.


But seriously, he's one of the few rap artists I actually listen to.

All I can say is.. as world population increases... breaking world records in sales will become easier.

[Igg]

*shrugs*

I think he's reached the end of his line, really.

Good Luck to him with everything he does. He's a rich man.

I guess he's finally decided to "lose himself".

Heh hehheh heh hehheh. Heh. Okay, I'm done. *found it amusing*

Well, I'm glad he's retiring. He's rich, he's getting older, it's about time.

He was a good rapper, at least hes not like all the others out there. He knows when hes done as much as he can. At least he isn't pushing out new albums saying the same thing the last one said you know? Good luck to him in whatever he persues.

[Hil]

Well, good riddance.

I can imagine him in some magazine in 5 years in a "where are they now?" section.
