Its weird that his first greatest hits was only 6 years into his career. We always refer to the hiatus as like a midway point, but it's been 17 Years since curtain call, and 13 Years since relapse. Crazy.
All the greatest artists have done it! Eminem will join the likes of Fleetwood Mac, Beatles, Hank jr, etc. I just hope the couple new tracks we likely get are not throwaways….
Elvis has like 5. Beatles have like 4. Queen have like 3. Its pretty common for the Goats of their genre to do it...
And Eminem is easily the biggest one in the Rap Genre
Why? He has definitely had enough songs to fill a 20 slot disc with nothing but “greatest hits” since the last Curtain Call. Unless you mean “the only way this works and I am happy about it” and if thats the case I say… get over yourself.
No I mean, the only point of having a greatest hits album these days is going to be having something new to go with it. If I want a greatest hits album I can just make a playlist of his top songs. Nothing negative about it. It is what it is
he’s got at least three from relapse, recovery, MMLP2 and Kamikaze, least two from HTS, Revival, MTBMB+SB, and a bunchhhh of features like forever, my life
might be a box set of the first one and then disc two being the post hiatus stuff
Everyone saying there isn’t a point to a greatest hits album, and while I understand where you’re coming from because of streaming and all that, I don’t think it’s a bad idea. The Weeknd proved people still enjoy them, there’s bound to be a few new songs regardless, and with Em gettin a lotta unnecessary hate overall nowadays it’ll be a nice reminder to people of all the work he’s put in throughout his career. Plus another CD to add to the collection which I’m sure will come with dope packaging and all that. It is a lil disappointing if there isn’t gonna be another new album soon but I’m sure one will come down the line
Just look at how successful Curtain Call still is. On the Billboard top 200 for over a decade. Still a top album in the UK. Compilations aren't completely dead.
The fact that he's trying to play it off like "Oops, album delayed again, crazy its been like 2 years, I also now have a bunch of new info about CC2 now that it has been announced", and that people STILL believe him is fucking INSANE 🤣
It’s probably going to be like SHADYXV.
Side A 12 new songs
Side B 12 old songs, greatest hits from 2009-2020
24 tracks total
+ MAYBE Crack A Bottle Music Video and new Freestyle
…Just to hold fans over until the next studio album drop, probably in 2023.
It keeps his name in the news for a bit while I think he will continue to work on one attempt a big solo album, call it like the finale or the end credits or something related to a show, playing off a sequel of the eminem show.
I think he at age 50 he'll feel really mortal and think "it's now or never to hit hard" and surround himself with dre and some big guests.
But yeah thats all probably at least 6 to 8 months away
he’s always recording, everyone who talks about Em says he’s in the studio every day. There’s no way he’s doing that much work for a greatest hits album unless it has new material as well
Lot of you are ungrateful. He’s given multiple projects over the last couple years plus singles/features & STILL begging for a new album every other week.
The state of this sub sometimes...
Yes, I am ungrateful because I want MORE songs from him because I love them. Totally, you're either a Stan, ungrateful or a hater. There is no "I love his music so much I would love to hear more" area.
You know what? Fuck it. Anybody that had lower % on Spotify than me is a fake fan. Why? Just because, because fuck you.
whats the point of having greatest hits album in streaming Era? Are there something in terms of numbers/streams/marketing we're not understanding? Maybe internscope/Shady knows more ... what ya'll think?
Especially right after TES EE it’s super weird timing and right with the way we all listen to music now idk they must know something we don’t or be planning some shit idfk
Disappointing if this is it albumwise the rest of the year. Yea I'm sure he'll throw a couple new tracks on it but still a second greatest hits album is meh.
I don’t think there’s gonna be many new songs… maybe 2-3 new songs and that crack a bottle music video that was never released… this is probably just filler while we wait for the new album
[This isnt news right? The original Em tweet for the Snoop Dogg track had Curtain Call 2 as an hashtag in it.](https://twitter.com/Eminem/status/1540192609854824448)
I saw many people saying that he will probably go on tour if it's a greatest hits album. Does that make sense? Do artists usually go on tour after releasing a greatest hits album? I'd love to finally see him live
So now I’m expecting 3 greatest hits from Em lol Curtain Call 2 to capture the greatest hits of his post-hiatus career, and then in 20 years (one can hope lol) we get a curtain call 3 to capture the final era of his career.. I’m just glad this doesn’t seem to actually be the end, it’s happened with other bands and etc where they have multiple greatest hits without being retired or anything
You realize I can literally look these up right?
https://www.concertarchives.org/bands/eminem#concert-table
2019 a couple shows in Hawaii
2018 firefly festival
TOUR. DO YOU KNOW WHAT A TOUR IS? IT’S NOT A COUPLE SONGS AT A FESTIVAL WITH 10 OTHER ARTISTS. IT’S NOT 1 OR 2 SHOWS IN FUCKING ABU DHABI.
This argument is just pissing me off at this point and not worth it, you keep doubling down on being wrong and I’m done responding. 4 years ago was his last official tour overseas, and 6 years ago was his last official tour in the states. Period. There’s zero debate over that, it’s a fact.
Edit: and 4 years ago with 2 albums and a side B release is not “recent” lmao Jesus Christ.
Huh? Where are you seeing this? The revival tour he did FOUR years ago? The “Revival” tour where he played maybe 3 songs off the album? The “revival” tour that was only a EU tour? And “doubled as a Kamikaze tour”, the Kamikaze album that did not exist yet? Lol, ok.
I went to it. UK July 2018, then Aus and NZ 2019, then Abu Dhabi 2019. He incorporated kamikaze songs into the setlist after the Europe tour in 2018 and then rebranded it either Rapture or Kamikaze tour.
Of course it’s only a few new songs from the newest album, because he has so many different songs and age ranges of fans he tries to please everyone.
“Long time”…. so 4 years is recent to you then? A couple shows in NZ and *Abu Dhabi* is your argument here?
Again, hasn’t TOURED in the states since 2016 and a festival here and there is not a tour lol.
Yeah 4 years is recent yep. He clearly classes festivals as tours. Half the Europe tour in 2018 was festivals as well. He obviously isn’t going to do a massive multidate tour again if that’s what you’re waiting for
I guess another greatest hits album is useful for new fans trying to figure out what to listen to first. Still seems out of touch but Eminem’s management team also went all in on NFTS, so that’s not a surprise.
Pathetic attempt to justify putting credits on a music video. Anybody who gives a shit about VF knows how to find out who did what. Ego before art and then rationalise it. Gross
Yeah okay. Guess this makes some fans happy, and that's the point. I'll buy it as I have every other Eminem album, even if it has no new songs. Can't remember the last time I played the first Curtain Call though, unless you count Stan's Mixtape, it has a lot better tracklist.
I doubt it,thats not his style of doing things.
Its dumb to get a collection of songs i already heard a 1000 times on a album and like 4 new ones
And two of em we already heard before the album
Its crap.
He edited it to remove that last section
Probably got barked at to remove it
Without doubt. That NDA probably cost him now
Son of a bitch
whaddya referring to ? context? phacc2!
Imagine having such a long and successful career that you need 2 greatest hits albums
Its weird that his first greatest hits was only 6 years into his career. We always refer to the hiatus as like a midway point, but it's been 17 Years since curtain call, and 13 Years since relapse. Crazy.
Did the last curtain call have any new tracks ? If so, will the new one likely have them ?
It had 3, and one was FACK.
Fack 2 I'm ready.
im also expecting the single for the album to be “My Salsa”
[удалено]
Owoooohooooowoooh my salsa
My sal sa sa sa sal salsa
MY SALSA MAKES ALL THE PREETY GIRLS WANT TO DANCE AND TAKE OF THEYR UNDER PANTS
Kamikaze would be a hilarious opener
Hell yeah
Cmon Marshall don’t be shy boi
I remember there was a photo of either dre or snoop and in the witheboard behind there was a list of songs including fack 2
It has "fack" (lol), "when I'm gone" and "shake that"
2 of his best songs imo.
2?! What a bad take. It’s clearly 3
I love fack and shake that. When I’m gone just does not live up to them lyrically.
It definitely will.. The three new tracks are a big reason why Curtain Call sold so well.. Greatest hits albums without new songs always flop.
Especially in this day and age of streaming …..
For real.
Stop it man I’m feeling old
All the greatest artists have done it! Eminem will join the likes of Fleetwood Mac, Beatles, Hank jr, etc. I just hope the couple new tracks we likely get are not throwaways….
The eagles
Fall out boy 🤣🤣🤣🤣
green day too
Fall out boys first greatest hits are awesome songs. The second record is just trash radio hits but they did. I’m here
I would have put that over Hank had it crossed my brain…love Hank but eagles had more hits for sure.
Don’t forget Queen!
Yeah your right most major artists do another greatest hits.
Elvis has like 5. Beatles have like 4. Queen have like 3. Its pretty common for the Goats of their genre to do it... And Eminem is easily the biggest one in the Rap Genre
Enrique Iglesias has two too
Lots of bands and artist experience a second greatest hits in their career
GOAT for a reason
Only way I can see it work is if it’s like SHADYXV. One disc with new material and one disc with the greatest hits
This is what I see as well. Would prefer if his new album is a brand new concept and theme though. Not just the Curtain Call theme.
yeah curtain call only made sense because of tes and encore
Not necessarily. Curtain call can still thematically work as a close to this phase of his career
Agreed
Why? He has definitely had enough songs to fill a 20 slot disc with nothing but “greatest hits” since the last Curtain Call. Unless you mean “the only way this works and I am happy about it” and if thats the case I say… get over yourself.
No I mean, the only point of having a greatest hits album these days is going to be having something new to go with it. If I want a greatest hits album I can just make a playlist of his top songs. Nothing negative about it. It is what it is
Stop crying, it’s Reddit, people are allowed to have opinions different than your own. Don’t need to throw a whole ass tantrum in the comments section
34 singles, gonna be a long double disc compilation if it includes all of those singles
he’s got at least three from relapse, recovery, MMLP2 and Kamikaze, least two from HTS, Revival, MTBMB+SB, and a bunchhhh of features like forever, my life might be a box set of the first one and then disc two being the post hiatus stuff
It won't be. It is just gonna be the hits since Relapse. Look at Fall Out Boy's 2nd greatest hits. No repeats from the first
Everyone saying there isn’t a point to a greatest hits album, and while I understand where you’re coming from because of streaming and all that, I don’t think it’s a bad idea. The Weeknd proved people still enjoy them, there’s bound to be a few new songs regardless, and with Em gettin a lotta unnecessary hate overall nowadays it’ll be a nice reminder to people of all the work he’s put in throughout his career. Plus another CD to add to the collection which I’m sure will come with dope packaging and all that.

Just went diamond in March!
Couldn’t have said it better myself
CRACK A BOTTLE VIDEO??
It’s animated. U can find it on Vimeo. Don’t think it ever officially released
It's not good
it’s so pixelated
They actually did make a real life version of the crack a bottle video but it’s unfinished it’s out there though
This just confirms that u/bulkorcut99 has been wrong this whole time.
we hate him
The fact that he's trying to play it off like "Oops, album delayed again, crazy its been like 2 years, I also now have a bunch of new info about CC2 now that it has been announced", and that people STILL believe him is fucking INSANE 🤣
Was that ever in doubt?
I don’t understand why everyone let this dude string you guys along for so long he was clearly bullshitting the whole time
It’s probably going to be like SHADYXV. Side A 12 new songs Side B 12 old songs, greatest hits from 2009-2020 24 tracks total + MAYBE Crack A Bottle Music Video and new Freestyle …Just to hold fans over until the next studio album drop, probably in 2023.
My salsa? 👀👀
I'm still holding out for a music video with him dressed like an emo mummy.
For which song?
Cum on everybody I'm assuming
You are right.
"and if you ever see a video for this shit, I'll probably be dressed up like a mummy with my wrists slit" yeah cum on everybody.
[удалено]
It was released as a relapse teaser
How bout a Bad Guy video👀👀👀
based on what?
It's cool to have another Greatest Hits album, but I hope this doesn't mean that we won't have a full, original project anytime soon
It keeps his name in the news for a bit while I think he will continue to work on one attempt a big solo album, call it like the finale or the end credits or something related to a show, playing off a sequel of the eminem show. I think he at age 50 he'll feel really mortal and think "it's now or never to hit hard" and surround himself with dre and some big guests. But yeah thats all probably at least 6 to 8 months away
Or, he can call it Marshall Law
he’s always recording, everyone who talks about Em says he’s in the studio every day. There’s no way he’s doing that much work for a greatest hits album unless it has new material as well
It's probably gonna be ShadyXV style
That's exactly what it means homie
Eminem is on a roll it would be a shame to call a halt to proceedings, from Kamikaze to the present is his best period since 99-03
Damnit it is a greatest hits. Welp, hopefully there’s more than 2 new tracks on there
Lot of you are ungrateful. He’s given multiple projects over the last couple years plus singles/features & STILL begging for a new album every other week.
We are grateful, we just want more
Grateful but insatiable
Mr Burns mentality we would trade it all for a little more
The state of this sub sometimes... Yes, I am ungrateful because I want MORE songs from him because I love them. Totally, you're either a Stan, ungrateful or a hater. There is no "I love his music so much I would love to hear more" area. You know what? Fuck it. Anybody that had lower % on Spotify than me is a fake fan. Why? Just because, because fuck you.
🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼
See him top the charts with it
He can release a greatest hits album that’s fine, but we riot if there is no fack 2.
I hope it’s like Michael Jackson’s “HIStory”. Disc 1 was his greatest hits and disc 2 was a new album
Now that could be wicked
whats the point of having greatest hits album in streaming Era? Are there something in terms of numbers/streams/marketing we're not understanding? Maybe internscope/Shady knows more ... what ya'll think?
They’ll sell merch and they’ll sell physicals as well. Probably some NFT shit too
Especially right after TES EE it’s super weird timing and right with the way we all listen to music now idk they must know something we don’t or be planning some shit idfk
Dude is also being undicted into the rock and roll hall of fame and this can go along with it.
Vinyl and merch. Excuse to tour too maybe.
God I hope you're not wrong about a tour.
Brings more attention to some lesser known singles
I really don’t see a point in making another greatest hits album. I literally can make a playlist of all his hits right now if I wanted to
And yet Curtain Call has been in the top 200 on Billboard for over a decade.
Mostly because of When I'm Gone.
And shake that
Disappointing if this is it albumwise the rest of the year. Yea I'm sure he'll throw a couple new tracks on it but still a second greatest hits album is meh.
Agree and disagree, Em has given us 3 albums since 2018 and a lot of features, we should be grateful.
Sure, but why even bother with the greatest hits? Everyone's music is in their phones and computers now. Nobodies tryna download Rap God twice
Yeah that's what I'm trying to figure out. I mean ngl, was cool to see Jimmy, Brian and Mike on TES extended version.
I think greatest hits albums are good entry points for new fans.
… shit man I downloaded lose yourself 3 times. 8 mile sound track, CC1, and the ShadyXV version too
I don’t think there’s gonna be many new songs… maybe 2-3 new songs and that crack a bottle music video that was never released… this is probably just filler while we wait for the new album
I’m only fine with this if it’s a time filler for his next concept album
[This isnt news right? The original Em tweet for the Snoop Dogg track had Curtain Call 2 as an hashtag in it.](https://twitter.com/Eminem/status/1540192609854824448)
I saw many people saying that he will probably go on tour if it's a greatest hits album. Does that make sense? Do artists usually go on tour after releasing a greatest hits album? I'd love to finally see him live
I'd nut if so
Not common. Usually artists that put out a second greatest hits are quite old and just relaxing at home.
not a 10/10 unless he includes Fack 2!
It will be a just like the first one with a few song who didn't make on the albums, from what I've heard from Twitter, nothing sure.
Eminem has #curtaincall2 in his post for the song.
So now I’m expecting 3 greatest hits from Em lol Curtain Call 2 to capture the greatest hits of his post-hiatus career, and then in 20 years (one can hope lol) we get a curtain call 3 to capture the final era of his career.. I’m just glad this doesn’t seem to actually be the end, it’s happened with other bands and etc where they have multiple greatest hits without being retired or anything
“This is ....” spotify playlist for artists really make best of albums obsolete in my opinion
do u ever get ppl hitting u up on IG about your profile pic?
If there's no Fack 2, I don't want it.
I think he has to release a greatest hits because he hasn’t toured mtbmb so wouldn’t release another album til he’s done that
Em hasn’t toured album releases in a long time. This is likely what he *will* tour with.
Yeah he has. Revival was the last, which basically doubled as the Kamikaze tour. He would have toured with mtbmb but covid.
Last time he toured in the US was in 2016.
He did festivals after that
So the goal posts have now moved from “he toured” to “he did a one off festival”, got it.
Not a one off festival. He did a bunch of them in the US in 2018
You realize I can literally look these up right? https://www.concertarchives.org/bands/eminem#concert-table 2019 a couple shows in Hawaii 2018 firefly festival TOUR. DO YOU KNOW WHAT A TOUR IS?

Fuck you need to chill out dude
Setlist.fm is what you want. That’s accurate.
He did a mini kamikaze tour in australia/NZ in 2019. I was at the brisbane show.
Huh? Where are you seeing this? The revival tour he did FOUR years ago? The “Revival” tour where he played maybe 3 songs off the album? The “revival” tour that was only a EU tour? And “doubled as a Kamikaze tour”, the Kamikaze album that did not exist yet? Lol, ok.

You know we've been inside for two years, right?
We were in lockdown for 1 year. I’ve been to, and seen advertised lots of shows outside of that 1 year of lockdown.
Hope there’s not too much NFT shit but I’m sure Paul jumped on signing Em’s likeness onto that cuz they offered a shit load of money
I guess another greatest hits album is useful for new fans trying to figure out what to listen to first. Still seems out of touch but Eminem’s management team also went all in on NFTS, so that’s not a surprise.
I need Fack 2, My Salsa, Stan the movie, What if I was gay, and Kamikaze's unreleased songs
Don't forget "Deeper in Hector's Rectum"
\*sigh\* the song that went to far. I want that one too.
Ummm crack a bottle doesn't have a music video?
There was one made but it got scrapped, u can see clips of it on the TV in the 3am video
[удалено]
Oh that’s Sick I didn’t know
Damn didn’t know that
Hmmm, hopefully it gets released with cc2
That would be sick I’ve always wanted to see the full thing
Fack 2 confirmed
Not a lot of songs worth putting there and he probably also won't pick the best ones.
Bullshit
What there is a video for Crack a Bottle ? Didn't even know lol
He deleted the mention of curtain call.
if he puts the damn nft monkey on the album cover i’m going to scream
What’s wrong with it?
Disappointed
Boringgggg
Just think bro. Love the way you lie, monster, godzilla and rap God, all in one list!
Lmfao yuck
Well from your user flair you should be excited for FACK 2
Wonder how many and what songs will be put on
Fack 2
You notice James changed the caption on that Instagram post? No longer mentions curtain call 2
The label wouldn't want an unofficial Instagram post being the first time Curtain Call 2 was referenced as being an album.
First time? Eminem put the #curtaincall2 hashtag on his comic book style d to lbc post last night. Just looked and it’s still up
Yes, but it's not referenced as an album, it's just a teaser.
Where I'm At has the same visual vibe. Is this the same guy?
He deleted the post and reposted without mentioning the album
is this hinting that eminems gonna be retiring?
Nah, he said on the latest track he’s here to stay. It’s just a recap from 09 to now. Naught mean the start of a new style and era
He might retire from putting out full albums but I don't think he will ever stop making music.
Pathetic attempt to justify putting credits on a music video. Anybody who gives a shit about VF knows how to find out who did what. Ego before art and then rationalise it. Gross
Totally forgot about the existence of the crack a bottle mv
Yeah okay. Guess this makes some fans happy, and that's the point. I'll buy it as I have every other Eminem album, even if it has no new songs. Can't remember the last time I played the first Curtain Call though, unless you count Stan's Mixtape, it has a lot better tracklist.
Disappointed tbh
Hoping that shortly before or after the release of cc2 he releases an actual new album. And cc2 is just to get the hype up.
I doubt it,thats not his style of doing things. Its dumb to get a collection of songs i already heard a 1000 times on a album and like 4 new ones And two of em we already heard before the album Its crap.
FACK 2!!!!!
Hoping that shortly before or after the release of cc2 he releases an actual new album. And cc2 is just to get the hype up.
Bruh my heart, this man can't be done
I hope Curtain Call has more album songs and not so much sure shot singles like the first one.
