    Eminem (Part 1 of 2)

    Eminem’s second greatest hits album, Curtain Call 2, gives listeners a retrospective on the last ten years of Mr. Mathers’ Hall of Fame Career. From Recovery onward, Eminem has ventured into new spaces - sober and ever so slightly matured from the constant lighting rod of controversy that veiled his entry into the industry. With songs like “Love the Way You Lie”, “Lighters”, “Walk on Water”, and “Godzilla” Eminem spread his wings to include collaborations with contemporary voices like Rihanna, Bruno Mars, Beyoncé, and the late Juice WRLD. During this era, Eminem also honed in on the character which the culture has called him for years- a “Rap God”. Curtain Call 2 is an amalgamation of Marshall’s journey forward (and sometimes backwards!) into an eventual legendary status. Throughout this maturation, Eminem’s longtime manager Paul Rosenberg has been with him through the thick and the thin. Paul Pod finally turns its attention towards the wizard himself. Paul and Em sit down in the first of a 2 part conversation about the making of Curtain Call 2.

Last week saw Eminem and his longtime manager recap the first four albums of Marshall's return to music for the first time as a sober artist. Eminem rediscovered his love for rapping on Relapse, extended his creative range and found his confidence on Recovery, and finally worked with his hero Rick Rubin for The Marshall Mathers LP 2. We close the book on discussing this era of Eminem's Hall of Fame Career as he and Paul bring us up to speed on the latest chapter of his growth into present day with his recently released second greatest hits album, Curtain Call 2.
