Eminem - 8th Studio Album official info thread

[Sam.]

How many of you guys think that this album will have production from Eminem, Dre and Premo only? Porter is on less likely, but could be.

The likelihood of that happening is less than 1% lol. I'd expect these producers to be on the album:

Em
Dre
Alchemist
Maybe Araabmuzik since they worked with Slaughterhouse
Mr. Porter
Bo1da
Khalil
Premo (maybe)

I though of that too, but what Eminem needs is lot's of production from Dr.Dre and Premo, rest can have minimal contributions.

I don't want too many producers getting involved in this project unless he tells them exactly what theme he wants so the production won't bee all over the place like on Recovery.

I don't really care, as long as the beats are good.

I agree to an extent...recovery was still dope. More a mixtape feel than an album but was still dope so I mean, it all depends.

Not just Eminem, but I wish all the Interscope rappers would release more music. I don't know what's wrong with that record label, on all the other labels, they're dropping songs like every few weeks, but with some of the rappers on Interscope, you go for like a whole year without getting a song from them. 50 Cent tries, but they won't even put most of his songs on iTunes, or send them to urban radio or anything.

That's a good thing. You really want the same ass beats on the album? I don't. I want creativity, & different shit.

wishful thinking.

It's been so long since a solo Em song has dropped. Aside from albums, what was the last one?

...Despicable?

Man that's sad. I wish he'd drop a freestyle or something.

2 years isn't that long.

In the music world it is.

He only did those cyphers and that Tim Westwood shit after all of that, the only singles Em' released were off albums, as far as I know.

Errr we have the art of rap, which is comparable as a freestyle (although it has no beat).
He's had no reason to drop a solo piece though.

But I do agree: it would be good to at least keep the audience fulfilled with some experimentations every now and again.

"Too many cooks spoil the broth".

He needs a person that isn't an outsider, like take Dre, he's comfortable with him.... Bass Brothers. I think, Eminem and Blaze have formed a good chemistry, remember they had recorded 8 songs for Recovery. He needs a bond like that to get his best material out.

I disagree. I'm glad Em does it this way.

This is why he continues to sell gigantic numbers every album - he very consciously keeps people wanting more, and guessing what's next. Anticipation and mystique = excitement.

He remains exciting because he's still unpredictable (in terms of style) as to where he's going next.

If Em continuously put out mixtapes or even constant freestyles and the latest 'updates' of where he's at: he would be less exciting, and more predictable. We'd have more of an idea of what's coming... I don't want to know what's coming.

I can't wait for the next album, but I'm glad I have to.

[slimsoxshady]

Just Blaze will most likely be on it

What is somewhat surprising in regards to your comment is that his two "freestyles" that were released prior to relapse and recovery, while both being less than 3 minutes, pretty much summed up his album.
