The Complete Guide to Eminem's 'Shady XV'
THE BASICS
Shady XV is a two-disc compilation that features both new and classic tracks from Eminem and members of his Shady Records label roster. (That would be acts such as 50 Cent, Slaughterhouse, Yelawolf and D12.) It was released November 24.
THE BUILDUP
Information about Shady XV trickled out slowly. Fans who caught the last night of Eminem and Rihanna’s Monster Tour in August got a subtle hint that something new might be brewing: Em rocked a t-shirt emblazoned with the words "Shady XV." Then he tweeted a picture of himself wearing it.
On the night of the MTV VMAs, Eminem tweeted a mysterious trailer for Shady XV—and noted the project would arrive on Black Friday. The trailer didn’t exactly reveal what Shady XV actually was, but it did flip through images from Eminem's past, including some D-12 snapshots and a 50 Cent cameo or two.
