I would have easily agreed with you if it was about D12 (not all of them together) been working on side projects or trying to do so post Em comeback but you actually said we've been *this close* of getting a D12 project at some point & this can't never be a fact. I mean if you were talking about an official album of course.
Saying that we were *this close* is more of a personal opinion due to all the information around the time. Royce saying we were getting a D12 album, Fuzz actually being signed to Shady as a member of D12, etc. I think there is more than enough there to be able to say "something official was in the works" at least.
There was not even a project done yet so we'd be even close of getting it... not to mention there haven't been enough sessions to even have a batch of songs that could result into shaping an album.
The other things is there were too many creative differences in the group & Mr.Porter said he's leaving the group 'cuz of it.
I didn't really mean we were *this close* to it being released, but *this close* to them starting something and the hype machine being turned on. I bet we would have gotten word on it pretty soon had it not fallen apart, but I will agree with you on the creative difference. Although, I think it's not really fair for you to say "there haven't been enough sessions", since you (and I) really have no idea how much time Em spent with them in studio around the time that the rumblings were happening.
Basically they couldn't even get on the same page if we talk about subject matter or whatever so they couldn't even get to a point of getting into the studio & working on an actual Shady records official album which was never planned to be as all the rest projects that came in that EM post comeback period of time...
We've been very very far away from getting a D12 album post Em comeback & that's a fact... all the rest is small talk.
I think we've been closer than you do, and that's fine, since neither of us can actually know for sure. Considering what has happened, I think it's fair to say that it was at least very heavily considered.
I love D12 & I was the one who brought that it'd be great if Em went full circle with having a D12 album after MMLP2 & I certainly hope for it but realistically this is nearly impossible at this point.
I'd agree with this too, but I think it's more of an issue with a group than with label pressure.
