Eminem New Album Relapse

Eminem Talks New Album, Book

During an exclusive interview with Billboard, Eminem has revealed some new details on his highly anticipated new album "Relapse," which is due out next spring via Shady/Interscope.

"Me and Dre are back in the lab like the old days, man," Eminem told Billboard. "Just him banging away on tracks and me getting that little spark that makes me write to it. I don’t have chemistry like that with anyone else as far as producers go — not even close. Dre will end up producing the majority of the tracks on Relapse.’ We are up to our old mischievous ways ... let’s just leave it at that."

The rapper said the early leak of songs intended for the album, most recent of which being "Crack a Bottle," have left him feeling "really heated. It wasn’t close to finished, and it even has me doing guide vocals for Dre as a suggestion of how he could lay his verses down. It’s like someone catches you peeping in your window before you got the Spider Man costume all zipped up ! Nobody is supposed to see that. We are gonna finish it up though and get it out there how it’s supposed to be."

Eminem also took time to dispel the rumours leaked by producer Swizz Beats about the pair working on a sequel to Eminem’s smash single "Stan."

"I haven’t worked with Swizz on this album. There isn’t a ’Stan 2,’ and there won’t be," he says. "Stan drove his car off a bridge and I’m not writing a song as Stan’s ghost. That would just be really corny."

Check out the full interview over at Billboard where Eminem discusses his upcoming book and releases from fellow Shady Records artists.

Listen to this. everyone who thinks eminem is over and done with, hes not, this is the just the beginning, he had his problems and how hes admitting them in the ways hes best at. funny raps and actually adding humor to his troubled life, what kind of person do you know who admits their wosrt probelms in life and can laugh about it and basically put it all behind him. his rhymes are ubelievable he can take everyday common words and put them all together in a storylike form. and to pharoh i have a proposition for you, sit down and actually listen to what hes saying(literal sarcasticnes and lyrical meanings). thats what you need to listen to. if you know rap, and i mean real rap not the rap about bitches and hoes, but the rap about peoples feelings and thoughts. thats the difference between legends and people today. think about it hes a genieus

Eminem is the greatest rapper alive. Yes some of his shit has been wack but what rapper out there hasn’t been on a shitty track. Have faith in the great white rapper cause you know his new album gonna rock the shelves.

Eminem New Album Relapse, by exa [2009-03-05 14:01:00]

I can’t wait for this album to come out ! When I first heard crack a bottle on the raidio never hearing it before. It was obvious that em was back, and one of the best song out. Its about time we get some real music out on the radio.haven’t bought a rap CD since em last one none worthy of my money, now I can’t wait to support his album.

Eminem New Album Relapse, by [2009-02-28 11:35:36]

my thought on eminem and al them is they like started the game and its goin totake alot to shut it down they are goin to have a hard time but when they do it will be freakin great

Not for nothing but Eminem as of today sucks. Encore, The Re-up, and everything else he has been a part of as of late has been trash. Dont misconstrue, Eminem is without a doubt a legend in the rap game... wether it be because of the Slim Shady LP, The Marshall Mathers LP(One of the greatest CDs ever recorded), or even his slightly disappointing but still amazing Eminem Show. "Eminem for all our sakes... leave the sleeping pills and politicians alone, and pick back up exctasy and the mary jane. Only then will you open your mind to the power that you hold within." The only people I can give recognition to in the whole damn Aftermath\Shady record company is Dr Dre, Eminem, and 50 Cent(the only reason I say 50 is because of Get Rich or Die Tryin). Amen.

Eminem New Album Relapse, by Tim [2009-02-08 10:43:01]

Just leave Eminem alone and let him do his thing. He is a perfectionist, and it will show when he releases his smashing new album...

Eminem New Album Relapse, by Hypnotized Mind [2009-01-27 15:39:53]

eminem in a sense is like the 2 pac for the new generation. people got to give him time to do his thing, its not easy to make a hit today. theres somethin new every week. its all songs about money. i like that em talks about other things , you cant tell these new rappers apart man. i mean its good shit but its gettin old .what they gonna call themselves in the future, big wayne, old jeezy, idk man. wish pac and big was around. eminem brings back dat music that you feel, thats why people love him.

Marshall tu mi dai la voglia di vivere nelle situazione in cui vorrei farla finita..mi metto il tuo cd e ricominco da capo !!Le tue canzoni mi hanno sempre dato la partenza per scrivere i testi delle mie,perche rispecchiano il mio carattere,che e una difficile...spero che un giorno ci troveremo a cantare insieme sul palco..
