Eminem’s “Taking My Ball,” the new track featured on Slim Shady’s DJ Hero Renegade greatest-hits compilation, leaked October 16th after making its debut on Eminem’s Sirius satellite radio station Shade45. As Rolling Stone reported, “Taking My Ball” is a leftover from the Relapse sessions, and it’s essentially a less controversial version of that album’s scathing celeb-basher “We Made You.” The song was cut in 2008, yet on “Taking My Ball” Eminem makes stale pop culture references to Tara Reid, Mischa Barton and feeding Rosie O’Donnell McDonald’s while watching The Sopranos. Listen to it over at Nah Right.

While no firm details regarding Relapse 2 have been announced yet, it seems unlikely that “Taking My Ball” will appear on the Eminem’s sequel to his May 2009 album. Em had previously told his Shade45 that Relapse 2 will be more “emotionally driven” than its predecessor, and “Taking the Ball” sports the immature, antagonist tone of Relapse’s non-serial-killing, non-drug-addled lighter side.

As RS reported, “Taking My Ball” is the lone unreleased track off the DJ Hero Renegade comp, a collection of deep album cuts and rarities that will accompany the Renegade Edition of the upcoming DJ Hero music video game. Jay-Z’s own Renegade collection, more of a greatest hits comp than a scattering of obscure tracks, will also be included with the special version of the game.

lol!
Thats a whack song Em!
The only Em song I ever discarded outright in sheer disgust in fact!
but this was when he was on his old tip, covering up his amazing acid flow with a stupid accent and talking pure bs… Relapse 2 will be more personal, more focused, better produced and he will sound like he did at the Rock the Bells tribute for LL earlier this month… Now thats a rockstar ! not this bs….

The song is OK. This song is what people want to hear from every artist. It’s funny, dance and I hope it will be released as a single.

Sad to have to say this | 10/20/2009, 8:56 am EST

You fucking idiots saying Em’s rhymes are stale? You don’t know shit about Hip Hop. A multi-syllable like Mischa Barton and cuisinart is fucking genius. Em looks for opportunities to kick strange multis.

If you don’t know a good rhyme when you hear one, then go fuck yourself for commenting about shit that you don’t know shit about.

Matthew | 10/20/2009, 11:15 am EST

I agree with you to an extent… His lyricsm and actual technical ability is flawless and perfected unable to be polished anymore… But this isnt a true example of that my friend. He’s just making unusual rhymes like u say. His new bonus track careful what you wish for is what I am talking about

Matthew | 10/20/2009, 11:16 am EST

Straight Flow
Dope Production
And, importantly, lyrics that u can feel in the pit of ur soul

whateves man eminem is mad. Ive listened to everything i could get my hands on since I can ever remember and eminem is the only artist that I actually try and get everything hes done like all b-sides and remixes. some of his bsides are actually his best work

shady fan | 10/21/2009, 8:19 am EST

Hey matthew shut the fuck up.You dont know what the hell your talking about.I like this I like that.Well grab a mic And show us how it’s done.Since you know so much about rap.Personly I think the song like all the other crazy rap’s he flow’s is pure genius.But maybe you should make a rap stan and send it in to eminem and show him how to rap the right way.But I dont think he give a @#$* what you think.NERD

shady fan | 10/21/2009, 8:25 am EST

Maybe he sould let you preview the song first before he released it to the public see what you thought. Or maybe he didn’t have time spending all his million’s of dollor’s he made selling the tracks he didn’t have you approve. JERK OFF.

matthew | 10/22/2009, 8:44 am EST

lol i am probably a way bigger eminem fan than u are. That song didnt do it for me sorry. It disappointed me like a handful of song on relapse 1 did. Check out one of his other new sngs like careful what u wish for and contrast it with this then u will c what i mean

EM | 10/23/2009, 2:47 pm EST

YAYAYAYAYAYAYYAYAY
