Multiplatinum rapper dispels retirement rumors with The Re-Up, dedicated to slain D12 rapper and Shady sidekick Proof and including tracks with 50 Cent and G-Unit.

With multiplatinum rapper Jay-Z announcing the end of his three-year "retirement" this week, Eminem is dispelling retirement rumors of his own by prepping the release of a mix tape that will serve as his return to the rap game at the end of a tumultuous 2006.

Eminem Eminem

The CD, dubbed The Re-Up, will hit stores October 30 and will be hosted by Eminem and mix tape specialist DJ Whoo Kid. Eminem will feature on several tracks, including "Things Need to Change" with fellow D12 member Bizarre. The track is dedicated to rapper and Eminem sidekick Proof, who was gunned down in a violent, reportedly drunken altercation at a Detroit nightclub in April, and will likely address the violence in hip-hop. D12 also recorded a tribute to Proof titled "Last Words."

The album also includes performances from 50 Cent, G-Unit, Obie Trice, D12, and verses recorded by Proof before he died. It also features several popular hip-hop songs from the past year, including the remix of Rick Ross' "Hustlin'" featuring Jay-Z and Busta Rhymes' "I'll Hurt You" featuring Eminem.

does he have to return? Can't he just chill out somewhere in a trailer park or something?

Eminem shouldn't retire, not yet. He's still a good rapper. Encore wasn't that good, but there were a few OK songs on there. I prefer the Eminem Show. I might buy this album, I like a few of the rappers featured on it.

Well that ruins Eminem, he should have retired I really liked him back when he came out but so far he's just been going downhill, I mean I haven't heard any of the songs, but before I even do they won't have the same magic back then, he has enough money and should just retire.

In many ways the ideal East Coast hardcore rapper, 50 Cent endured substantial obstacles throughout his young yet remarkably dramatic life before becoming in early 2003 the most discussed figure in rap, if not pop music in general.

Eminem took a hiatus after the release of his first motion picture, 8 Mile, in late 2002, but it never seemed like he went away.
