Some of the tracks to grace Curtain Call include "My Name Is," "The Way I Am," "Lose Yourself" and "Stan," as well as some of Em's very own picks.

"I have some songs that a lot of people like," he said in the statement. "I have some songs that only I like. This album is obviously for the 'lot' of people."

According to MTV, Em has been working on the album since summer and is putting the final touches on it as this report surfaces.

Curtain Call is slated for release December 6.

Allright. This means it's not his "best of", it's just a compilation of all his popular singles. Wondering though, how can you be busy for months on a fuckin' compilation which only has two new tracks on it?

hopefully there are some tracks on it that prove his greatness... which I doubt.. sounds to me like he's puttin out all his singles pressed on 1 CD. he should put a cut from infinite there, which he won't. he should put some of his best guest appearances there, which he won't. he shouldnt put anything from encore there, which he won't. he wants me to buy this CD, which I won't.

I guess interscope has to have a new rap release to sell at Christmas time. Em doesn't really have that many hit singles that he could do a "greatest hits" album yet.

Plus, it's just for the masses. Nothing to spark anybody's interest...

Couldn't have really said it any better myself...but of course he's gonna put together something for mass appeal.  Honestly at this point, i could give a fuck if i hear anything more from him.  He's obviously run out of shit to say, and his singles are so predictable and redundant he's no longer interesting.

There's a difference between "Best of" and "Greatest hits". Greatest hits is just what made the artist popular - the stuff that appealed to the mainstream. Best of is really their finest work. In Eminem's case, a Greatest Hits would have Without Me on it, and a Best Of would have songs like 8 Mile. Makes sense, doesn't it?

But anyway, Eminem calls this his "Greatest hits" and he says it's for "the lot", so it will most likely be all poppy songs. In Eminem's case, you can be pretty sure the tracklist will look something like this..

1. New song
2. My name is
3. Guilty conscience
4. Forget about Dre
5. Rock bottom
6. The real Slim Shady
7. Stan
8. The way I am
9. Lose yourself
10.Without me
11.Cleanin' out my closet
12.White America
13.Superman
14.Sing for the moment
15.Business
16.Patiently waiting
17.Just loose it
18.Mosh
19.Mockingbird
20.New song 2

it does theoretically, but in reality "best of"´s are the most popular songs too, because which songs are really the "best" is absolutely subjective and everybody has to decide for themselves....so you can´t make that type of "best of" you´re talking about for everybody...

Eminem Released From Rehab
Wednesday - October 12, 2005 by Carl Chery
Roughly two months after checking himself into Detroit's Brighton Hospital for an addiction to sleep medication, Eminem has been released and is ready to hit the studio.

Sources say Slim Shady spent three weeks in the rehabilitation center and spent an additional three weeks in the hospital's outpatient program, completing his treatment in late September. Em opted to go the rehab after six weeks on the Anger Management 3 tour.

Word is the rapper constantly struggled to sleep, causing him to cancel the European leg of the tour. Interscope Records officials initially said that exhaustion and other medical issues were the cause of the tour's cancellation. A label spokesperson wouldn't comment.

Em is already back in the studio collaborating with Dr. Dre on two new songs for his forthcoming greatest hits album, Curtain Call. Dre reportedly flew into Detroit to work with Slim this past weekend.

Eminem's Curtain Call is scheduled to hit stores December.
