He better get out the magnifying glass
The record companies usually have a clause in ultra-fine print that give them the right to license on behalf of the artist without the artist's prior knowledge or consent. I think it became standard after the Beatles sued over Nike using "Revolution" without their permission (Michael Jackson did the sign-off as he owns the rights to it: talk about seriously wrong!).

Mr. Mathers may not win this one, especially if iTunes is allowed to distribute his material otherwise. Apple can claim it was a representation of available content. Dance with the Devil and you WILL get blisters...
