While most of the attention at the VMA's went to the curious case of Miley Cyrus, there was also a major announcement that Eminem would be releasing a new album on November 5th.
He joined Instagram last week just in time to preview the VMA's announcement.
The album is buzzworthy because unlike his recent work, it's a sequel to one of his classic albums, The Marshall Mathers LP, suggesting that he's going back to his roots.
He even has blonde hair again.
Fans are predictably besides themselves.
