Eminem Presents:The Re-Up [1] or simply,The Re-Up, is a compilation album performed by various artists of American record label,Shady Records. [2] The album features performances by Shady Records artists Eminem,D12,50 Cent,Obie Trice,Stat Quo,Bobby Creekwater and Cashis,while affiliated artists such as Lloyd Banks,Akon and Nate Dogg,made guest appearances. The album debuted at number two on the US Billboard 200 chart and has since sold over one million copies in the US alone,being certified platinum by the RIAA.
The album began as a street mixtape project;an underground,unofficial CD with raw production values. "But what happened is that the material was so good and the tracks were getting produced like a regular album",Eminem said:"Instead of putting it out there rough and unfinished,I thought we should add some other new tracks,make it a real album,and put it in the record stores to give these new artists a real boost". [3]
Rampant misinformation about Eminem Presents:The Re-Up included many false internet track listings and the claim that the mixtape would be a tribute to the late Proof of D12. "The D12 album and those unreleased songs with Proof are coming",said Eminem,"but The Re-Up is about these new artists and these new songs. It isn't fair to them or to the memory of Proof to mix them up". [4]
The Re-Up's cover art was drawn by Eminem, [5] and depicts the featured artists except for Akon and Nate Dogg,the only two artists that are not signed to Shady,Aftermath or G-Unit.[ citation needed ]

"The Real Slim Shady" is a song by American rapper Eminem from his third album The Marshall Mathers LP (2000). It was released as the lead single a month before the album's release.
The Slim Shady LP is the second studio album by American rapper Eminem. It was released through Aftermath Entertainment, WEB Entertainment, and Interscope Records on February 23, 1999. Recorded in Ferndale, Michigan following Eminem's recruitment by Dr. Dre and Jimmy Iovine, the album features production from Eminem himself, alongside Dr. Dre and the Bass Brothers. Featuring West Coast hip-hop, G-funk, and horrorcore musical styles, the majority of The Slim Shady LP's lyrical content was written from the perspective of Eminem's alter ego, named Slim Shady. The alter ego was introduced on his 1997 extended play Slim Shady EP, and concluded on his 2024 studio album The Death of Slim Shady . The album contains cartoonish depictions of violence and heavy use of profanity, which Eminem described as horror film-esque, in that it is solely for entertainment value. Although many of the lyrics on the album are considered to be satirical, Eminem also discusses his frustrations of living in poverty.
Aftermath Entertainment is an American record label founded by hip hop producer and rapper Dr. Dre in 1996. It operates as a subsidiary of Universal Music Group, and is distributed through Interscope Records.
D12 World is the final studio album by American hip-hop group D12, released on April 27, 2004. The album sold 544,000 copies in its first week on the U.S. Billboard 200.

Encore is the fifth studio album by American rapper Eminem, released on November 12, 2004, through Aftermath Entertainment, Shady Records, and Interscope Records. As reflected in its title and cover art, the album was originally set to be Eminem's final studio album. Its lyrical themes include Eminem's criticism of the 43rd U.S. president, George W. Bush, parodies of Michael Jackson and Christopher Reeve, and Eminem's feud with Benzino and Ja Rule. Overall, the album features more comedic themes and lyrics than his previous albums.
Loyal to the Game is the ninth studio album and fifth posthumous studio album by American rapper Tupac Shakur. The album was produced by Eminem and consists of remixes of previously unreleased music recorded by Tupac before his death in 1996.
