CURTAIN CALL 2 WILL INCLUDE AN UNRELEASED EMINEM & 50-CENT TRACK FROM 2009.
While Eminem prepares to release Curtain Call 2, it has been revealed that the greatest hits collection will include a previously unreleased collaboration with 50 Cent.
The compilation, which is set to be released on August 5, includes music from all of Em's projects since 2009's Relapse, including side projects, guest appearances, film soundtrack songs, and selections from his solo albums.
It will also include three new songs. The first two singles, "From Tha D 2 LBC" featuring Snoop Dogg and "The King & I" featuring CeeLo Green, were previously available. The third appears to be a 2009 duet with 50 Cent.
The 2LP vinyl edition of Curtain Call 2 has a tag on it that states the album includes a collaboration with 50 called "Is This Love ('09)." According to certain claims, Dr. Dre produced the music.
In addition to the conventional release of Curtain Call 2, Eminem's official website will sell a limited edition box set and signed vinyl.
Em's latest greatest hits collection is a follow-up to 2005's Curtain Call: The Hits. Slim Shady's biggest hits up to that point were included in the collection, including "My Name Is," "Stan," "Without Me," and "Lose Yourself." It debuted at the top of the Billboard 200, selling about 441,000 copies in only two days.
The album had spent a full decade (520 weeks) on the list as of March 21, 2021, making it the first Hip Hop record in history to accomplish so.
It is presently the sixth longest-running album in Billboard 200 history, after Pink Floyd's The Dark Side of the Moon (958 weeks), Bob Marley And The Wailers' Legend (669), Journey's Greatest Hits (659), Metallica's The Black Album (598) and Guns N' Roses' Greatest Hits (520).
Curtain Call re-entered the Billboard 200 in October 2002, after spending nine and a half years (496 weeks) on the chart. Back in August 2017, it was already the longest-running rap album in Billboard history, at 350 weeks. To date, the record has sold over 7 million copies in the United States.
In the meantime, Snoop Dogg recently admitted that Eminem "challenged" him on their collaboration "From The D 2 To The LBC."
During a promotional interview for the album, Eminem offered Snoop his flowers and told him that he "killed it," to which Snoop replied, "You challenge me Marshall." You put me back in my karate school days, where I used to be a young MC and, you know, loved the challenge of having to try new styles and new cadences.”
“The rap game is supposed to be challenging; it’s supposed to make you dig in your bag,” he continued. “‘Cause I’ve heard you on other songs with other rappers and you tend to show out, so I wanted to make sure I was going to represent.” Eminem agreed, telling him: “You showed out.”
