Eminem broke through with his Slim Shady LP in 1999, but many of his fans also love the album he made before fame, Infinite.

The LP, which carried production by Em's longtime friend, fellow D-12 member and collaborator Denaun Porter, isn't available in stores now. So, during a recent interview with "The Cypher," Porter was asked about whether the album will ever be re-released.

"That might have a lot to do with the Bass Brothers," Porter said, citing Mark and Jeff Bass who released the effort through their Web Entertainment imprint in the mid-'90s. "If they were to release that right now, they would have to pay me a grip. I got screwed around way early messing around with them dudes. I don't know what they're doing right now, but it seems like it's something that should happen."

While Porter said he'd be down for a reissue, he also explained that he'd prefer if Em's manager, lawyer and friend Paul Rosenberg handled it.

"Paul is more creative when it comes to how to do that sh-t," he explained. "If [the Bass Brothers] did it themselves, they would have to do it in a special way because that's a special project. For whatever reason, a lot of these younger kids, I think they gravitate towards that retro sound. It was a dope album."

So, there you go. According to Porter, if you want the album to be re-released, just ask the Bass Brothers and maybe try to have Paul Rosenberg involved.

In "The Cypher," the producer also reveals how the album was crafted with help from Proof, DJ Head and inspiration from J Dilla.
