Eminem –

“I want to deliver more material for the fans this year like I originally planned” Eminem says. “Hopefully these tracks on The Refill will tide the fans over until we put out Relapse 2 next year”. Eminem has been busy in the studio creating even more new material since Relapse was released. “I got back in with Dre and then a few more producers, including Just Blaze, and went in a completely different direction which made me start from scratch. The new tracks started to sound very different than the tracks I originally intended to be on Relapse 2, but I still want the other stuff to be heard.”

“A lot of people were expecting Relapse to drop last year,” said Eminem. “I was one of them.

Then Dre and I went back in the studio in September for a few days, and that turned into six months,” he said of his album’s delay.

“We were on such a roll; we wound up with a ton of new music produced by Dre. Putting out Relapse 2 will let everyone get all of the best stuff.”

This is great news for Eminem fans, who have been anticipating a new album from the rapper for over 4 years.

The rumors started circulating late-last fall when Eminem released a promotional freestyle I’m having a Relapse for Relapse.

Earlier this year, Crack A Bottle featuring 50 Cent and Dr.Dre was leaked. The hype was outstanding across the blogs and that transcended into commercial success – resulting in the Nielsen SoundScan record for opening week download sales. The song also reached #1 on the billboard charts.

May 16th, 2009 – one of the most commercially successful artists of all time will return with Relapse, pressing the reset button, on his proverbial career.

No word on when the second album Relapse 2 is scheduled for — Eminem who is known for missing due dates — said it will quickly follow.

According to Interscope, the follow up, will be issued in the second half of this year. Rolling Stones expects the album to be released in November of 2009.

October 3rd, 2009 – Eminem confirms in an interview with DJ Whoo Kid that himself and 50 Cent will be exchanging bars on one of the tracks. He also verifies two producers for the album Just Blaze and Denaun Porter.

Oct 7th, 2009 – Eminem clarifies that this album will be more “emotionally driven”. He states that the previous one was more of that “rapid punchline style”.

Eminem – “With the last record, it had a lot to do with me getting sober and just my eyes being open again and my brain went into overdrive. With Relapse 1, I was just trying to prove to myself that I could do it again. It was a [reintroduction] and what made me in the first place with the zany, loony, ridiculous sh–. I felt like a lot of that album, I kind of wanted to [spit] rapid fire and [do] punch lines.”

As of right now, all of his concentration is going towards this record at this point in time, he is not interested in movie roles. Eminem didn’t obligate himself to a tour, but left the possibility open.

DJ Alchemist also stated that the first Relapse was more of a reintroduction while this is Eminem letting everybody know how good he is.

November 19th, 2009 – In what many will consider very disappointing news, including myself, Eminem’s album Relapse 2 has been put on hold for Relapse Refill, which will feature 7 new tracks and the first album. On the bright side, we have a release date, December 22nd.

November 20th, 2009 – Eminem says that Relapse 2 will be released next year, of the 7 tracks on “Relapse Refill”, 2 are previously released “Forever” and “Taking My Ball”, with five unreleased ones that will hold his fans over until “Relapse 2″.

Oh yah, I forgot to mention, the most notable DJ of all time was on the boards, Mr. Premier.

Eminem fans shouldn’t be disappointed, Em recently announced that D12’s third solo album – the follow up to the successful D12 World – is in the works, slated for a 2010 release.

The album has yet to be titled, but is said to be around 70 percent finished without Eminem’s input.

Almost everyone in the group is also working on solo projects. I’d really like to see Kuniva put out a mixtape or an album.

You will never see the hype surrounding just one track for any other artist. I know people who have waited all day to hear this track.

The song appears on DJ Hero, its the only unreleased track that is on the game, though it has a lot of rare and overlooked tracks that Eminem personally selected.

Now, the next question is when will the Relapse 2 project be dropping, I’m hearing November right now, but nothing official. I wouldn’t be surprised to see it at the beginning of next year that way Em gives 50 some room to breathe.

What do you think about this track “Taking My Ball”?, it was first heard on Shade 45 at 6:00 tonight. Interestingly enough, he uses one of the rhyme schemes from the D12 “My Balls” song.

I’d pretentiously assume that its what you’d expect from a track that didn’t make the cut on Relapse. Some dope rhyme schemes throughout, just lacked the content that Eminem fans are hungry for.
