We knew this was coming. The other day, DJ Whoo Kid and Paul Rosenberg took part inÂ a podcast about the highly anticipated Shady XV album, and in the process, they revealed that some of the classic and fan-favorite cuts that didn't quite make the two-disc album would be compiled in a two-disc mixtape-- a free project for fans who want to revisit the cuts that got us into (and obsessed with) Eminem's music in the first place. So, just in time for your weekend, andÂ a fewÂ days before Shady XV impacts, HotNewHipHop is premiering the Shady Classics mixtape. DJ Whoo Kid helped put together this massive mixtape, which is complete with 66 tracks, including older cuts like Em's version "Wanksta" (as well as 50's), "Girls," D12's "Git Up," plus recent drops like "Detroit Vs. Everybody," and "Guts Over Fear."Â

Since you're receiving all this music for free, you should definitely beÂ pre-ordering Shady XV on iTunes right now!!
