It's a genius plan really.
It's a genius plan if done moderately. It's shit now that he's not releasing anything. No one is asking for him to "put stuff out all the time".
If Eminem dropped, for example, THREE whole tracks today (3 verses+ hook each), and he released an album at the end of the year, the three tracks would make NO difference to his sales. It is not over saturating if he puts out something every now and then, but even if he did some sort of saturation to the music industry he's going to sell just as good. If he did one verse every other month, it would not be over saturation and it would not hurt his marketing, and it would only please the fans.
But that's just how Eminem is, and I'm sure it's not because he's busy. I'm sure he records on a regular basis, but just chooses not to put out music. And it's his decision, and he's totally entitled to making that choice. I'm just saying it wouldn't hurt if he dropped more often. What he's doing right now is like he's dead.
