Eminem’s representative has spoken out about numerous unreleased tracks coming from the rap icon’s collection — and they aren’t pleased at all.
Numerous tracks from the past two decades have surfaced in recent days, featuring collaborations with artists such as 50 Cent, Dr. Dre, Slaughterhouse, Nate Dogg, and Anderson .Paak.
In a statement to XXL, Em’s long-time representative Dennis Dennehy condemned the leaks, stating: “These leaked tracks were studio creations never intended for public release… demos, experiments, and concepts that are outdated and irrelevant after so many years.”
He stated: “[They’re] the newest in a series of incomplete works published against artists’ wishes and without their consent.”
Regular Eminem collaborator and Aftermath producer Fredwreck also provided a stern warning to the perpetrator, stating in a now-deleted post on X: “Just a heads-up to the person leaking Eminem’s music. We will locate you. The law of the street will be enforced.
“Inquire ‘Koolo’ about what transpired during his last leak.” “We are aware of his residence, and indeed this constitutes a threat.”
Nearly 30 Eminem tracks have appeared online without the identity of the leaker being disclosed.
Although a few of the tracks are demo versions of newer songs like “Little Engine” and “Discombobulated,” some of the leaks are nearly 20 years old, particularly a fierce diss track targeting Suge Knight and Ja Rule.
Entitled “Smack You,” the track features Em alleging that the Death Row Records co-founder is accountable for the deaths of both 2Pac and The Notorious B.I.G.
“I’m putting the blame on Suge for the deaths of the two greatest rappers to have ever walked this earth,” he raps.
The Detroit-born individual continues: “If only the late, legendary Mr. Christopher Wallace were here to speak / He would tell you personally / I’m blaming Suge for the death of Ja Rule or anyone else affiliated with Tha Row.”
Slim Shady also ridicules Ja for attempting to connect with Suge: “Pleading with Suge to accompany you to every club / But you’re too naive to realize that your publishing is all he seeks / Believing you’re pals until he gets it and you’re the next artist / Waiting in the passenger seat of that Benz that gets struck once more.
“And the LAPD will ask, ‘Who committed this crime once more?’ / Aware of the culprit, yet no one confesses / But if I end up dead for this, I’m aware of who is responsible.”
