It sounds like Slim Shady might be coming out of his self-imposed retirement for a fifth album if reports from Entertainment Weekly are correct.

It’s been four years since Eminem’s last album Encore, and recently rumours have suggested that his health was suffering and that he may have had a minor heart attack due to becoming overweight.

Em’s apparently got some stuff on his mind, the kind of deep thoughts only an album full of scathing rap tracks would do justice to. In fairness, we thought he’d originally retired because all the dough from his record sales had taken away his bitterness and the bite that attracted us to Eminem in the first place!

What we need is plenty of anger and Shady’s unique ability to offend every demographic while selling stacks of records to their kids. It is said, when the charts are in danger of plumbing the very depths of blandness, a true hero will return to lead us out of the darkness.

Welcome back, Slim…
