    Eminem (Part 1 of 2)

    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.

Such great insights

Loving these - and yes perfect face AND voice for radio Paul!

Would also love to hear you interviewed more - about your whole journey with Em.

Great podcast

Really good podcast and really interesting. Only thing I’ll say is Paul needs to stop cutting his guests off mid sentence. Becomes a bit irritating after a while.

Yes Paul!

Keep em coming, also I would love it if Eminem would give a breakdown of his songs on curtain call 2 like he did on his first curtain call. I seen the video on YouTube a few days ago it was brilliant!
