Post your dream / best case scenario for the future of Eminem and Shady records. Here's mine:



The new D12 Mixtape makes Em realise how much his band has slipped since 2001. He gets back in the studio with them, they all do some funny immature shit, and come out with D12's final LP - almost on par with the original Devil's Night, as far are Beats, skits, Lyricism and Eminem Involvement are concerned. My salsa bonus track.



Being in the studio with the gang gets Eminem on his smooth MMLP flow again. He begins his next solo album, one of the songs being a posse track of D12, Obie, 50 cent and a couple more of the old Shady Records crew. This is the final time D12 make music, going out with a bang and and unreleased Proof verse.



Em's album involves a heavy amount of Dre & DJ Premier production, "Bitch Please III", and a GOAT Nas feature. Also, Eminem and Kendrick get back in the booth and record a dark, back-and-forth lyrical masterpiece. (With an unreleased Nate Dogg hook.) Two bonus tracks: "Never Gave a f--k", and a farewell from Ken Kaniff skit.



Sometime before Em's album is released; GlassHouse drops. It's not poppy, and it's not overly rapid-fire. It's perfect - featuring a Black Hippy Collab, Yelawolf, Prhyme, Tech N9ne and a Medicine Man-like verse from Eminem. It also has a song with a catchy beat, and sample-based hook but concise, raw verses. This track gets a lot of radio play, and Slaughterhouse gain mass media exposure.



Yelawolf drops "Trial by Fire" and it's a good mix of Arena Rap and Love Story. He continues to do his thing, but gets media attention from the lead single with a (decent) duo hook with Skylar Grey [or any poppy female IDC], and an Eminem feature.



Also throw in a final Bad Meets Evil EP in there somewhere. Features from Dre, DJ Priemier, the Game, and Black Hippy.

Shady records signs a couple young and relevant upcoming artists; modernizing their image.

Years later, Eminem stars in a new movie. Obviously it doesn't top 8 Mile; but it's still dope. Similarly to Dre's "Compton", he drops a short project with practically no forewarning. 6 tracks - all hard hitting, reminiscent of The Eminem Show beats and wordplay. All of Shady Records is featured, a 50 cent collab, and a Detroit anthem. Bonus track: "Back in the Day (feat. Dr. Dre)".
