I like it when labels cheat the fans by making them pay twice for an album. I respond by illegally downloading the new tracks. No one really loses.
This is the kinda beat i like to hear Em go crazy on (Black Thought's verse is a killer) :2009 BET Cypher 3 - Eminem, Mos Def, Black Thought
Tracklisting:1. Forever2. Hell Breaks Loose3. Buffalo Bill4. Elevator5. Taking My Ball6. Music Box7. Drop The Bomb On ‘EmThe Relapse Refill is coming out 12/22.
the best marketing strategy for Eminem is to release a new album, called the 'no accent LP'
WORD UP LF! for real though, are the 5 new joints all the just blaze and eminem joints that were supposed to be for relapse 2?..who cares, ima download this shit, not even considered buying relapse, so no chance im coppin a refill after the initial version attempt. Though i have to admit i am interested in hearing what blaze and eminem cooked up. Lets see. By the way, is this being done to help the sales of the original relapse, kinda milk that to the max or would these sales be considered seperate? regardless, more free money for interscope for doing pretty much nothing new.
That's my guess. Relapse lost money and releasing R2 would probably make them lose money too so they release the same album with a bonus disc to boost sales and help create buzz for the next album. Unfortunately the new album will be just as shit as the last 2 and once again no one will care. He's made no effort to bring any maturity to his sound, style, content, or lyrics and it's finally doing him in. You can't do the same thing for 5 or 6 straight albums and expect people to care. It was fun, and witty and shocking ten years ago, around the time Jerry Springer was all those things. Well, when is the last time any one mentioned Jerry Springer (other than me just now)? Eminem has turned into a stale parody of himself and I don't think he even has what it takes to mature and get a second wind in his career. Hell, I only listen to the old stuff when I'm feeling nostalgic. In hindsight he was never really that good, but that's bias because I say that about all rapper with out a 2 or a Pac in their name.

I agree with it all except for that I think at one time he was great. To me "The way I am" is one of the best rap songs ever recorded. I think he has the talent, but for whatever reason he sticks to this kiddy rap bullshit.
