The rap superstar’s satellite radio station to air one of his and Jay-Z’s recent Detroit concerts ‘as a special treat’ on New Year’s Eve.


Eminem has had a big 2010, from being named MTV’s Hottest MC in the Game to scoring a slew of Grammy nominations for his critically revered Recovery.

As a result, the iconic rapper announced on Monday (December 20) via his satellite radio station, Shade 45, that he would broadcast one of the Home and Home concerts he and Jay-Z played in Detroit earlier this year.

“As a special treat, for the listeners and the fans who missed the ‘Home and Home’ concerts with me and Jay-Z, Shade 45 is gonna air my performance from the Detroit show this New Year’s Eve at 8 p.m.,” Em said.

The pair played four shows, two in each artist’s hometown, Detroit and New York. The gigs, which featured a number guest performers, went off without a hitch and were praised by fans and peers alike.

Dr. Dre credited the event with inspiring him to finally put the finishing touches on his long-awaited Detox project.

“Being on the stage with Eminem and Jay-Z was one of the most incredible feelings I’ve felt in a long time,” Dre said in September. “It inspired me, it made me want to hurry up and get back in the studio and put more effort and more work into my own project.”

“If you weren’t there, this is what it sounded like,” Em said, dryly, while joking with Shade 45 general manager Rob “Reef” Tewlow.

“It felt great, man,” Eminem added about the experience. “It was crazy. The energy of the crowd. Just me being home, you know? I don’t know, man — it’s a good thing. Blessed.”
