In 2018, Eminem released a surprise album, Kamikaze. Meandeminem (talk) 05:05, 31 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Not done for now: Even a surprise album would require a surprise reference. spintendo 05:28, 31 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

8 number 1 billboard albums

In the article it says Throughout his career, he has had 10 number-one albums on the Billboard 200, however billboard has stated that he only has 8 number 1 albums and they were consecutive, and his other 2 albums did not reach number 1. They aren't counting compilations and soundtracks as albums. The Eminem show came out May 2002 and 8 mile came out oct 2002, but it was not considered in his consecutive achievement nor was the Hits album, which came out in 2005, but Encore was considered for 2004. Is the article considering the hits and the 8 mile soundtrack as his albums?^[1]

this article bias

this article is like a PR papers, what about the beef, eminem is a marketing product. about his ghoswriters, Proof, D.O.C., Snoop Dogg. and many others. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.115.183.180 (talk) 06:03, 9 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure what to say about ghostwriters, but supposed "beef" with others is too superfluous for inclusion, and calling someone a "marketing product" would read rather awkwardly in article text. Snuggums (talk / edits) 12:31, 9 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@190.115.183.180: The G.O.A.T. does not use ghostwriters, and he is not a "marketing product". I think you have Eminem confused with MGK. However, I do agree that his murder of MGK should be included. OrangeFourInchDoorHinge (talk) 10:28, 15 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

He never murdered anyone, at least in the literal sense, and attacks are probably better for the diss track articles if anywhere. Snuggums (talk / edits) 13:31, 15 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Not done even if you are Eminem, you have to wait until your account is auto-confirmed before you cab edit semi-protected pages like this. You become auto-confirmed once your account is at least 4 days old AND you've made 10+ edits. Also, see the WP:Conflict of interest page.

@ImTheRealEminem: You clearly are not the real Slim Shady, so please sit down. Em actually has a good vocabulary, and understands the basic rules of grammar, unlike you. Now stop making the G.O.A.T. look bad. OrangeFourInchDoorHinge (talk) 10:31, 15 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

-== Eminem's Photo Should be Changed! ==
-A request to Wiki users or moderators:
-Hello. The current photo of Eminem seen as the first photo once entering the page, labeled "Eminem performing in November 2014," should be changed to a different photo because the photo looks nothing like the artist. A more recent picture from 2017 or 2018, but if difficult, anything within the last 5 years, with a recognizable Eminem would be more reasonable. I have tried uploading an image twice, but it was rejected, as the current photo still stands, plus I am not so experienced in Wikipedia edits. If a moderator, or if allowed, a Wiki user, can improve the photo, that would be great. Thank you!  <!-- Template:Unsigned --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:WikiiFacts|WikiiFacts]] ([[User talk:WikiiFacts#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/WikiiFacts|contribs]]) 13:49, 26 September 2018 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
-:Hi, All images uploaded here all need to have a [[creative commons license]], If recent images of him don't have a CC licence then I'm afraid we can't really do anything except hope one day someone snaps him and gives it to us with their blessing, Thanks, –[[User:Davey2010|<span style="color: blue;">'''Davey'''</span><span style="color: orange;">'''2010'''</span>]]<sup>[[User talk:Davey2010|<span style="color: navy;">'''Talk'''</span>]]</sup> 16:05, 26 September 2018 (UTC)
