yes he did
this could be true but not in a good way --- approx 2 yr a go now em did sign a new contract with interscope for a consignment of 5 new albums which was to include a greatest hits album and compilations aswell as new material.
now this was not long before curtain call so heres why i say this is possible :
1 after he supposedly sign this contract 2 or so yr a go curtain call came out - thats the 1st obligation fulfilled
2. then came the re up -- this was a compilation again part of the supposed contract
this then leaves 3 albums under the supposed signed contract.
3. his new album possibly named 'king mathers' is due soon thats the new material
that would leave 2 albums to make - this is my theory.
maybe he has decided that 'king mathers' will be his last album after all this would mean that he would not complete the supposed contract signed b4 curtain call
or
he has decided to go it alone and make shady records a seperate entity and no longer part of interscope so he has full control.
i personally think these facts are possibly the real deal but they are just theory's based on the supposed 5 album contract he apparently signed b4 curtain call
both my possible reasons for re negotiating are very possible reasons for him to do that.
lets hope if i am correct with my theorys that its theory 2 - going it alone
anyways thats all food for thought for you!
