Relapse , Really Leaks?

[FDL]

Two big pieces of Eminem news: A version of the rapper’s new album, “Relapse,” apparently has leaked to the Web, and Em has set three dates with late-night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel — including one in metro Detroit.



Files labeled “Relapse” were appearing today on Web-based sharing sites. The Free Press cannot confirm that the downloads are identical to the official release, which is set to hit stores on May 19. Reps from his label declined to comment on the Web leaks.

During an interview with Eminem's Sirius satellite station Shade 45 on April 23, Eminem said he and his producer, Dr. Dre, were the only two with copies of the album to avoid the inevitable Internet leak. In 2004, fears of Internet piracy led the label to push up the release of his previous album “Encore” by a few days.

With “Relapse” scheduled for release on May 19, reps from “Jimmy Kimmel Live” announced Em will perform three times on the ABC talk show.

Shady is set to perform May 15, with additional appearances slated on the release date of “Relapse” on May 19 and then on May 22.

According to the release, the May 22 performance will feature two live songs from Detroit.

There has been a lot of chatter about a secret Eminem performance in metro Detroit since a contest was announced on Eminem.com at the end of April. The language for the CD-release event on the Web site said: “Hey you! Enter now for your chance to see Eminem in his hometown of Detroit, MI on 5/18!”

Since then, the “Mojo in the Morning” show on WKQI-FM (95.5) has been offering tickets to see the show, but no date or venue has been announced.


I Think That It´s Not The Official Album Version.

If Dre & Em Are The Only With The Album , It´s Not Possible....

I Think That Em Have More Material , And The Tracklisting It´s Not Confirmed...

Lisen This , In A Recent Interview Said That Have Material For 3 Albums...

And The Possible Tracklist It´s Leaks On Internet....

I Think That Em Leaks A Material On Internet And Said That It´s Relapse.
But...

I Think That Only The Singles Appeared In A New Album Version...

I dont think its the original release, because if it was Relapse that leaked, the release date for the album would have been Pushed Up, and its been, what 2 or 3 days since its leaked, im sure that they would of pushed the album up. But im not complaining, because every song that was "leaked" is MAD

[Mr. Cookie]

wtf?

[Tranquil]

I don't know if the songs we heard is the final version for the CD or not because we don't get any confirmation from Em or the label but I think it's pretty much 97% authentic. When the album is on production stage, it's easier to control the leak but when you send the cd for mass production there is no way you can prevent the leak. They can only reduced the leak to minimum by sending the original cd by the closest time to the released date.

Yer but, if it really was the original, u will think that they would of Pushed the Relased Date up to this week

Who knows? who says that he won't?

[Sofi]

Yeah I was thinking the same thing cause Em said only him & Dre had copies and I dont think Dre was the one responsible for the leak lol and none of Em's people have commented about the leak of the album, and Em never confirmed the tracklist, did he? I know it was posted on rapradar but still, we never had a confirmation from Em.

[FDL]

and more , eminem said that the only feature its dre

[shadyshaun]

Interesting theory guys but I can't help feeling that maybe the real reason you think it's not the real Releapse is because you are unhappy with it? And you are hoping that he is actually going to come out and and say -

'HAHA!! Gotcha!! Here is The Marshal Mathers LP 2'

The reason neither his press office nor himself have made a comment is because they don't want to draw attention to it. Think about it, probably only his die hard fans are aware of the leak and they are the ones who will still go out and buy it regardless. If however he makes a statement acknowledging the leak and says how angry he is, this would be picked up by various news outlets, reported, and then people will be drawn to download it that won't buy it when it's released.

lol......i hope the leaked album ain't the original relapse .in this way, we will get the original one at 19 may and we have so many new songs of eminem including the fake and original albums.

[Slim Zaddy]

actually i'm downloading it right now , it's an intresting opinions over here, but i just wannna know for those who have listend to the album, what do you think about it ,, it sick ,, worth waiting or what ,

[kevinh]

this would mean that only Beautiful is real?
and we will have 3 relapses
Steve Berman (Skit):what's this shit 2 cd's??

shit i dont know hope so tho but i dont mind if its not true

[Emadyville]

Hmm this is interesting, I'm not saying at all that I think this is not the album...

But how smart would that be to have relapse "leak" if these were songs that arent on the album? Very smart, in fact, now that I think about it, this would probably be the best marketing campaign for someone of his celebrity in the music industry.

For one, if you "leak" relapse with songs that aren't on relapse, then that's it. People who get it are happy and whatever, but then that's it, no more searchin for relapse, ya know what I mean. People think they have it, so if this wouldn't be the album then the real album would get shipped and no one would try to steal it early and leak it. Because it's been done. So then when the album comes out it's HUGE news that all the songs leaked wasn't the album at all, and since these songs are so fuckin good, everyone would def buy the album, more so then it leaking like it did.

Either way, I believe this is the real album, but if they were to try and pull something off like I described, that'd be fuckin sick

[Evil-Genius]

I think the album that leaked is the real album that gonna drop at the 19th , But I hope it`ll a totally different album More Eminem music for us

[FDL]

I Think That Some Song Will Be On The Album...

Looks Legits...

But If Dre & Em Only Have The Album , It´s Not Possible The Leak...

And Em Said That Dre It´s The Only Feature , And Crack A Bottle Won`t Be On The Album.

... I Think That Em Have Much Material And Leaks This On Internet , And The People Thought That It´s Relapse.

The Tracklist NEVER CONFIRMED , Only Confirmed By The Bullshit Paul That Said (CRACK A BOTTLE VIDEO COMING IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS LOL)

I Love This Album Man , But Em Said , Don´t Believe The Internet Leaks (Crack A Bottle)...

I Think That Eminem Have A Surprise For The Fans And Maybe Change Some Tracks (Crack A Bottle And More).

[M-N-M]

i havent listened to the album cuz im waiting paitently but could the songs be a street tape or whatever its called?....maybe em is just seeing what we think of his shit right now and has so many other songs just like them for relapse
