New Eminem Track, Jay-Z's Biggest Hits Coming to "DJ Hero Renegade Edition" Albums

DJ Hero has announced its massive 93-song in-game track list — which boasts Beastie Boys blended with Foo Fighters and 50 Cent vs. David Bowie — and now Rolling Stone can exclusively reveal the track lists for Eminem and Jay-Z's Renegade compilations that will accompany the DJ Hero Renegade Edition of the game (the Renegade comps aren't playable tracks, but best-of CDs).

Jay-Z's Renegade collection is the first best-of comp of Jigga's career — though there's reportedly talk of another coming in November — so Jay-Z sticks to the hits. Eminem, however, opts for deeper cuts and rarities from his arsenal, including a brand new song called "Taking My Ball" that will feature exclusively on the DJ Hero Renegade disc. Both rappers hand-selected their respective track lists.

"The tracks we put on this disc are mostly overlooked or rarer favorites of mine from all different parts of my career," Eminem said. "I also put a brand new, unheard song on there so even the biggest fan has something new." DJ Hero and DJ Hero Renegade Edition will both be released October 27th, but Slim Shady fans can hear "Taking My Ball" October 16th when the track debuts on Em's Sirius radio station Shade45. In addition to the game itself and the dual hits compilations, DJ Hero Renegade will feature a premium Renegade turntable controller and a hardshell turntable carrying case that converts into a DJ stand.

The Renegade cover art was created by artist Shepard Fairey, who also produced the famous Obama Hope poster as well as the recent Obama cover of Rolling Stone.

“All Along the Watchtower”

The Jimi Hendrix Experience | 1968

Jimi Hendrix got hold of Bob Dylan's early John Wesley Harding tapes and in late 1967 recorded a version of "All Along the Watchtower" with the Experience in London. Dissatisfied with that first development, Hendrix brought those tapes with him to New York in early 1968 when he began work on Electric Ladyland. Eddie Kramer, Hendrix's engineer at the time, told Rolling Stone that Hendrix "was still looked upon by his basically white audience as the mammoth black guitar hero. There was a constant fight within him to expand himself." Hendrix's successful take on Dylan's work has long been recognized by the songwriter. "I liked Jimi Hendrix's record of this and ever since he died I've been doing it that way," Dylan wrote in the liner notes to his Biograph box set. "Strange how when I sing it, I always feel it's a tribute to him in some kind of way."
