Looks like em is still working on relapse 2 !!!

[slimsoxshady]

oh so ur sayin its a sure thing?...R2 is finished according to your 'marketing' sources?.....its like how would those people know any way though?/// that would be cool if you could expound on your claim a little bit more jus to enlighten those of us who are hungry as hell for some legit R2 news....please explain more man...

yea i could do that:

the marketing plan leaks to expecting retailers before they put up release dates...i know someone who's interning for a certain label (not affiliated with Eminem, closer to Ludacris actually wink wink...but he's a huge Eminem fan so he can find out..)...he has access we don't.

and to the other dude:
i've given this forum a correct date before...and i'm not saying ludicrous shit like "i talk to Eminem" lol smh at that guy

yea same source
Refill (he actually said Relapse 2 but you can forgive him on that since it was assumed the next album would be Relapse 2)
Underground (this fool sent me an mp3 of Underground before it leaked everywhere the next day)

...i would say he doesn't really value his job lol

no idea on tracklist, i mean it leaked through Em's twitter for R1 so go figure

idk anything music wise, i just have a lead on the release date thats all

[Wreck]

Em needs to stop recording for R2 & put the shit out already.

[Wreck]

He's always careful with not outstaying his welcome or putting too much of himself out so I think even if he easily had a masterpiece of a double-album he'd only put out a single because he keeps liking to... Make people want more of him.

Which is good but at the same time... At this point, he hasn't exactly overwhelmed us and he's been gone for so long. And since he's close to the end of his rapping career due to age (or likely) it would be a nice treat at this point. Can't see it though. But wish he fucking would.

About the Interscope thing, could just be for a similar reason why Em hasn't but purely for profit reasons. Ie. maybe they want to make people keep coming back to the artist to drain every new album each time and never give them too much for too little.

other thing is that he says he's still trying to make the "perfect" album...most double albums i've heard...i felt like if i could trim the 25 or so tracks to 15, it would be perfect lol. Tech N9ne's Killer is the perfect example. I can count about 15 tracks that, if they were alone, would make a flawless album. The filler tracks definitely weigh it down.[/quote]

Yeah but Em doesn't have too many filler tracks on his albums. MMLP, TES etc. I couldn't really count any filler tracks. People of course are going to want more tracks, and less skits, because of the wait, but I hope as well we get an Eminem double album, but I doubt it. What I can see is, a 20/21 track album, with a few deluxe album joints, like most of his albums have had. That way, Eminem & Interscope can make more money for the extra tracks as well on the deluxe CD. Remember Stan's mixtape? That wasn't a delux CD was it? It was a 2nd CD on his Greatest Hits compilation, but I can't remember if it was included with the original package, or if you had to pay a deluxe CD fee. Somebody might know.

he should work on this album untill it ´s like his older shit

[EminemBase]

No he should work on it until it's nothing like his older shit.

I don't want it to be anything like his older shit. The reason Eminem is consistently exciting every album is because of the very fact he changes his style and sounds like a new rapper each time.

It's a bit disappointing he listened to everyone around him saying people just wanted Shady instead of following his own, original instinct to come up with a totally new outlook. I love Relapse and love the serial-killer shit and...

His new stuff is in fact new anyway. It's nothing like old Shady, it's more like a meticulous, perverse serial-killer. Which he's always portrayed occasionally but this time it was fully-formed and constant.

But it would of been much more exciting to hear what he may of come up with had he followed his initial feeling of wanting to be totally new. He may of come up with an entirely original but enhanced, mind-blowing persona. I mean we just don't know. Instead, he's trying to harp back to the past.

But he seems clear and more ambitious now. And after the mixed reaction to Relapse I actually think he may of thought it was the wrong choice to harp back anyway. Even if he don't say that and just says it changed direction, I think that's a very likely reason for the change.

Which is a good thing though. I think the end result should be more original and refreshing. I don't want a repeat performance, I want a new Eminem experience.

[dR3]

i want a quadruple album

[NextEpisode]

Just a thought:

If Eminem/Interscope are aiming for a spring/summer release, then they must surely see the opportunity for Eminem to perform at the upcoming MTV Movie Awards show, which airs on June 6, 2010 - I know Eminem did this last year as a part of the promotion for Relapse (he performed We Made You, I think).

Edit: Fuck sorry, this was old!

[dR3]

^Does he mean 2010?

Well I'm sorry but I don't believe you lmao.

It's very easy to say that and providing no proof for even having this source just makes the whole thing pointless. You could just be guessing at a likely date and then if it comes in, which it very could well - You look like you have a legit source and can therefore claim that as proof for future.

On the Refill date you said you gave in October or whatever - Again, you could of just speculated a likely December date since everybody was expecting it to drop in that month anyway.

If one retail had an official date then they all would. At present even the biggest retailers such as Amazon are just guessing likelyhoods to try beat each other to the punch and cash-in on pre-orders. At present they have May 4th.

I very much doubt Em even has an official date since he's still working on material so highly doubt that any 'marketing insider' would have one. I bet it hasn't even been set yet. If it were then it would of spread like wildfire and far more would know about it.

IMO, the concert dates that Em announced are a message that the album will be released by July, but he does not want to be tied down to a specific release date yet. To me, that sends a message that he knows the album will be out, but he's unsure of the exact date at this point.

I'm turning 20 May 6th and hope it's coming out around that time period for my birthday present.
