NEWS: Eminem Talks Retirement

Monday , 23 Aug 2010

After releasing 6 studio albums, rapper Eminem is still going strong with sales of his latest album Recovery reaching the 2 million mark last week.

In an interview with Vibe magazine for its 15th-anniversary issue, Em discusess his uncertainty about when he may hang up the mic.

Em, aka, Slim Shady, confessed "Honestly, I don't know how much longer I have in this game, I'm always going to love hip-hop. But how much longer am I going to still do it? I couldn't give you an answer. But the day that this is not better than the last will probably be the day I stop."

“Even if I was rapping at 50 years old, I don't know if I would put it out. I know it always makes me feel better to lay things to tape, and -- 'Lay the tape.' See, I'm old school. The fans might say the sh*t is garbage. You don't know how long people are going to want you around.”

“Realistically, if I don't rap, what the f*ck am I going to do? It's too late to be unfamous at this point."
