Looks like Slim Shady has some shady fans.

Six days ahead of its scheduled release, Eminem's Marshall Mathers LP 2 has leaked to a number of file-sharing sites. Still, considering the high anticipation for the new album, a leak this close to release can't be considered a disaster for the rapper and the MMLP2 rollout.

An official stream may go to iTunes on Thursday, Dennis Dennehy at Interscope told USA TODAY.

So far, four songs have been officially unleashed: old-school toast Berzerk, the Call of Duty soundtrack slice Survival, the EDM-inspired Rap God and The Monster, a duet with Rihanna, his partner on 2010 megahit Love the Way You Lie.

Eminem will be the musical guest this weekend on Saturday Night Live, and he's been tapped to perform on Sunday's YouTube Music Awards.
