Eminem & DJ Whoo Kid – Shady Classics [Mixtape]

We knew this was coming. The other day, DJ Whoo Kid and Paul Rosenberg took part in 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, and a few 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.” Since you’re receiving all this music for free, you should definitely be pre-ordering Shady XV on iTunes right now!! Eminem – Eminem Vs. DJ Whoo Kid: Shady Classics

And really all we need is balance…I have a 16 year old son I would like for him to hear everything. I would like for him to get a fair shot at being an evolve listener.
