Today, February 6th, is DaShadySpot’s 8th birthday. DSS actually came online way back in 2002.
When I first started this site I would have never thought that it would still be online 8 years later and be considered to be the top spot for everything Shady Records. But here we are, going stronger than ever! Hopefully we’ll serve you with the latest Eminem and Shady Records news and music for many more years.
Expect the site to get a new design within a month or two.
Here’s a new mixtape from Cashis called The Re-Introduction. It includes 24 tracks and it’s hosted by September 7th. Euthanasia is dropping in a few weeks!
Off the heels of his Grammy performance of “Forever” with Eminem, Lil Wayne, Drake and Travis Barker, XXLMag.com had the chance to chop it up with The Alchemist about Shady’s highly anticipated new disc, Relapse 2.
While the disc does not have a release date as of press time, ALC says Em is hard at work in the studio with DJ Khalil. The West Coast beatsmith has had a big year, producing standout joints for Drake (“Fear”), Clipse (“Kinda Like a Big Deal”) and Slaughterhouse (“Cuckoo”). “Khalil — who I think is like the best producer right now to me — he had been sending records to Em for a while that wasn’t like, they weren’t like clicking in,”Alchemist told XXL. “Em knew he was dope but they haven’t found the right one. And I think they found a couple joints now… the joints they have are crazy. I can’t say 100 percent [that he made the album], but I have heard at least two joints Khalil did and they’re fuckin’ stupid.”
Alchemist, who serves as the Detroit lyricist’s tour DJ, revealed that he has yet to score a beat on Em’s project. “I’m starting to be around Em and the camp more, especially finishing these albums. Factor in Em’s sober now, it’s like that’s my man, we chop it up a lot more now…it’s like little by little I’m figuring out what I have to do to create a sound that would be Alchemist/Eminem. I didn’t get it yet.”
One person that Eminem has been working a lot with is Just Blaze. Al gave XXL insight into their chemistry: “He clicked with Em,” he said. “It was really amazing, too. They really vibed and made some music, beyond like Just just sending him beats, it was nothing like that… I think it’s a perfect meshing of the two… If you could imagine what they could bring to the table at this point, it’s pretty close and maybe a little more.”
In fact, in ALC’s opinion, the whole album is a level above the first Relapse. “He’s doing things lyrically on this album that he hasn’t done before,” he shared. “The punchline game is really back.”
Eminem has responded to rumors sparked by a tabloid report that stated he had reunited and fathered a new child with his ex-wife, Kim Mathers.
Star Magazine claimed that Eminem and Kim Mathers had reunited for a third time and were expecting a child.
“Contrary to false rumors spread by unreliable tabloids, Marshall and Kim Mathers are not romantically reunited in any way, nor are they expecting a child together,” a representative for Eminem said in a statement. “They are a divorced couple who share custody of their daughter and maintain a friendly relationship.”
The couple divorced in 2001, during the success of the Eminem’s Marshall Mathers LP, which contained the scathing diss track “Kim,” which accused her of being unfaithful.
“I would rather have a baby through my penis than get married again,”Eminem told Rolling Stone in 2002.
In January of 2006, the couple remarried in a lavish ceremony, only to be divorced for a second time, just three months later.
Eminem will join the likes of Jay-Z, Lady Gaga, Justin Timberlake, Bono and Barbra Streisand as two of the 100-plus stars tapped to record the remake of “We Are The World” to benefit Haiti.
Following artists are already featured in the remake of “We Are The World“: Eminem, Jay-Z, Kanye West, Lady Gaga, Celine Dion, Jennifer Hudson, LL Cool J, Will.I.Am, Wyclef Jean, T-Pain, Gladys Knight, Brandy, Robin Thicke, Justin Timberlake, Josh Groban, Nancy Wilson, Julianne Hough, Justine Bieber, Vince Vaughn, Miley Cyrus, Bono, Pink, Jeff Bridges, Barbra Streisand, Usher, Nicole Ritchie, Sheryl Crow.
It’s questionable how long it will take to record “We Are The World” having 100-plus artists. According to rumors, about 75 stars were already together in the studio and worked on the record. Stay tuned.

Adding to the giant list of celebrities in attendance at this year’s Sundance Film Festival, 50 Cent, Chace Crawford and Emma Roberts attended the premiere of “Twelve” on Friday night, January 29.
50 Cent recently talked about how he admires United Kingdom reality tv, and now hit singer, Susan Boyle. The G-Unit leader says he admires Boyle so much that he thinks he might even start a beef with her! During an appearance on ‘The Late Late Show’ with Craig Ferguson, Fifty joked about his past fueds with Fat Joe.
Nobody really knows him. I’m mad that you’re mentioning his name. When’s the last time Fat Joe was on your show? [Never], SEE! And this is why I feel like, he’s using me, he’s using me, Craig. I feel like I’m on his [radar]. There’s almost as much pirated music as there is legitimate music out there. We got really tough competition, now the competition is Susan Boyle. It’s worth a shot [starting a feud with her.] We’ll be places and they’ll be like, ‘You know 50? He’s looking for you.’ I probably would [collaborate] with her. I think it’s the age, when you’re like 48, 50 years-old, those people in that age group are still conditioned to purchase a CD. The younger kids are on a computer, you know that.
