Grammy-winning rapper Eminem is celebrating his own anniversary in a big way. Slim Shady is now offering his epic The Eminem Show in a few major fan bundles.
In honor of the project’s 15th anniversary, diehard supporters are able to cop various merch ranging from a cassette version of the project to an autographed poster.
Last week, Marshall Mathers hinted at something big going down for the album’s anniversary.

Em’s epic album managed to do historic sales in its first 48 hours.
Despite the conditions under which the album was made available for sale, the record sold 284,000 in its first 24 hours and debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. It became the first album in history to debut at No. 1 with only one sales day counting toward its first-week availability. The album’s first full week on shelves saw sales figures of more than 1.3 million copies, and it eventually became the best-selling album of 2002 in the U.S. To date it has sold more than 10 million copies worldwide, earning diamond certification from the RIAA.

Later this year, Em will keep busy performing at the Glasgow Summer Sessions music festival.
This August, Eminem will return to Scotland to headline the Glasgow Summer Sessions. For Marshall Mathers, this will mark his return to Glasgow since 2013, where he also served as a headliner. The “Lose Yourself” MC will have a strong supporting cast to help anchor this year’s festivities as Run the Jewels, Danny Brown, and Russ will also perform on Aug. 24. (Billboard)
