Eminem - "The Eminem Show"
Murrow:
"Controversial, multi-platinum rapper Eminem has recorded more than half of his forthcoming album, The Eminem Show, according to a spokesperson for the Detroit-bred artist. The album, which will include production from Eminem and Dr. Dre, is scheduled to be released in April.
The song "Cleaning Out My Closet" is featured on the trailer for the Eminem film, 8 Mile, which is directed by Curtis Hanson.
Eminem will also appear on the 8 Mile soundtrack, which will be released via his label, Shady Records. The rapper completed filming 8 Mile last month. The movie loosely based on Eminem's life includes appearances by Kim Basinger, Mekhi Phifer, D12, and Xzibit.
Eminem's last album, The Marshall Mathers LP, released in 2000, has been certified eight-times platinum. Eminem has sold more than 17 million albums worldwide to date."
Murrow:
He’s b-a-c-k!! Eminem’s latest endeavor, The Eminem Show, has been slated for a tentative 4-23-02 release date and word is Dre and Eminem will exclusively handle the production. Considering that Em no longer smokes or drinks, look for a more mature effort from Mr. Mathers in 2002. The track, “Cleaning Out My Closet,” that is played during the trailer of Em’s movie debut, 8 Mile, will be included on both The Eminem Show and the movie's Soundtrack. - HipHopSite.com

"He's baaaaaack ... Detroit rapper Eminem and his pal Dr. Dre recently announced plans for an April release of Em's third album, currently titled The Eminem Show.
Not much is known about the new disc, but a source inside Eminem's camp says that it is likely to include a new take on the Aerosmith nugget "Dream On" as well as a track that centers around a song by late Beatle George Harrison.
Ex-patriot Detroiter Marky Bass, who co-produced the project with his brother Jeff Bass as well as Dre and Em, says the album is more "serious" than its predecessors.
"It's better," says Bass, by phone from his current base in Los Angeles. "He's matured since the last one, and he's been through so much since then, good and bad. He kept going and wrote a fantastic album. He's a tough kid -- it's brilliant."
Bass says that the album was originally titled Nothing Mathers, and, while he's reluctant to give too many details, he promises that the saga of Eminem's ex-wife Kim Mathers (who was lyrically "killed" on The Marshall Mathers LP and dumped in a lake on The Slim Shady LP) is not over.
"Ohhhh, little Kimmy," says Bass coyly. "You'll hear all about her on this one. Is she at the bottom of the lake or is she in Bel Air? Come April, you'll find out."
Em's last album, The Marshall Mathers LP, did the biggest opening week numbers of any rap album in history. Expect this one to be a whopper, too.
In the meantime, Mr. Mathers, can be spotted in the video for the latest single from fellow Detroit rapper Royce Da 5'9", "Rock City." Em performed on the track and co-produced Royce's upcoming full-lengther of the same name.
The Royce album has been pushed back several times already, and executives at Columbia, who decline to comment on the "whys" and "what fors," are still hedging on a release date. For now, fans will have to be satisfied with the swanky new video, which can be viewed at www.columbiarecords.com/ musicvideo/. Royce heads to Europe at the end of the month for a 12-city tour with Usher."
