That's always been his and Paul's strategy, making people want more of him. And it's why after 12 years of officially being signed people are still absolutely ecstatic to get new material.

He said it in a 99' interview, basically that... He wants people to want more of Slim Shady and not hear him every time you get a mixtape or somebody else's album. That's why it still feels special when he collaborates with somebody. Because compared to everybody else, he hand picks. So it's an event.

That's how you stay exciting.

Like when wayne or chamillionaire drops a new song, it's nothing special it's just another song. But with em since it's so rare, ppl go crazy over any guest appearance verse or freestyle he puts out. It's smart. Plus, I think he only wants the public to hear his very best stuff, so he aint gonna put out any mediocre mixtape material


Relapse was mixtape material


*confused Kermit*

hahaha... In what way?

Em mixtapes would be sweet.

Damn, imagine if he dropped as many tapes as the Little Wayne.

It would be a SHADY OVERLOAD.

(Or, that could be a name for 1 of his mixtapes.)

You've answered your own question there. Putting out par-level music ruins the hype for an album. Look how desperate everyone here is to hear anything from Em, even a snippet. So by the time R2 drops we'll be bursting to get out hans on it and will enjoy it more than if he released mixtapes and appeared on 10 different albums on collabs.
