Though the San Francisco Giants completed a sweep of Eminem's hometown Detroit Tigers last night to win the World Series, a new hat style on the rapper's favorite baseball team has confirmed, in a roundabout way, an album due next year. The Eminem Baseball Tribute Hat has a side panel listing various years that are "dedicated to the landmark Eminem solo albums," and right after 2010 comes 2013. Eminem released his last album, Recovery, in 2010.

The Eminem Baseball Tribute Hat is available on the rapper's website.

“1999”

Prince | 1982

“I don’t consider myself a great poet,” Prince told Rolling Stone. “I just know I’m here to say what’s on my mind.” In the case of the apocalyptic party anthem “1999,” he was worried about then-president Ronald Reagan’s foreign policies. The song’s melody is based on a riff borrowed from the Mamas and Papas’ “Monday, Monday,” and Prince originally envisioned the first verse with three-part harmony but later split the vocals between himself and members of the Revolution. Because Warner Bros., with whom Prince was locked in a contractual battle, owned the original’s masters, Prince rerecorded the song and appropriately released that version in 1999.
