Eminem next duet: The Partridge Family?
By JAM! Music
Will Eminem's next single see the rapper freestyling over a Partridge Family jam?

New York's Daily News says the upcoming issue of Talk magazine features an article on Slim Shady and his producer Dr. Dre, and observes the pair in the studio.

Dre -- the sonic architect of gangsta rap and the studio mastermind behind N.W.A, Snoop Dogg, Eminem and his own sizable hits -- is quoted in the article trying to convince Em to essay a cut based on a sample from hits by the fictional '70s family act The Partridge Family.

The Daily News said Eminem at first resists rhyming over samples from the bubblegum hits "I Can Feel Your Heart Beat" and "I Think I Love You," but eventually freestyled a verse:

"My son's 16 came to say he had no place to stay ... I said he wasn't mine, slammed the door in his face."

No word on whether the results will ever surface. (More on Eminem)
