Did The Next Album From "Slim Shady" Receive Major Changes?
Say what you will about Eminem’s first Relapse album, but it was a concept album that took lots of risks artistically. It was a concept album using horror core themes such as homocidal murders, rape, and famous serial killers as a metaphor to Eminem’s drug addictions. And majority of the songs were done with this strange voice that he created. In other words, there wasn’t a whole lot of potential for number 1 singles on this album. Which explains why they decided to throw “Crack A Bottle” onto Eminem’s album.
Anyways, a little bird closely dropped us some information about “Relapse 2″ that we thought we should share. We will call these tidbits RUMORS for now, but these are juicy nonetheless.
- Apparently, Interscope was very happy with the sales of the first Relapse, but they also paid very close attention to the feedback on the album. Rumor has it that Interscope surveyed a ton of people and found that African Americans weren’t bumping to Relapse as much as Eminem’s white demographics. Interscope felt the first Relapse could have sold more albums if it had been a more “traditional mainstream” hip hop album.
- Eminem submits the first cut of the album to Interscope higher ups a few months after Relapse 1. Around this time, the most successful single on Relapse is a song that has nothing to do with horror or silly parodies of celebrities. It’s an introspective song called “Beautiful” about Eminem’s depressing and coping with drugs and stress. Interscope and Eminem debate over the album’s content with Interscope demanding more songs like “Beautiful”. They also start demanding more songs that might appeal to blacks. Interscope figures whites will buy anything Eminem makes no matter what, but any blacks they can get to buy Eminem’s albums will make things much sweeter.
- Insiders say Eminem wasn’t too thrilled about Interscope forcing him to make a more emotionally driven album because he’s tired of being in a sad and depressed state of mind all the time. He wants to get out of that mind state.
- The songs that they did keep from the original Relapse 2 do have that “new” serial killer voice from Relapse 1 that people complained about. Expect less songs with that voice on Relapse 2, but not a lot less.
- There was a debate on whether to call the album Relapse 2 or give it a name change since the album felt so significantly different from the first Relapse. The decision of whether it will be called Relapse 2 all decides on how many of the old “horror core” songs from the original version of Relapse 2 will make it on this more “traditional mainstream hip hop” version of Relapse 2. Even though they continue to call it “Relapse 2″, theres still a slight chance the album name might get changed at the last minute to reflect how different this album is from the last album. With that said, still expect between 3-4 tracks similar to the content on Relapse 1.
- Interscope starts pressuring Dr. Dre to finish up “Detox”. They ask Dre to start promoting products and getting his face out in the public more often to boost hype for “Detox”. This includes Dr Pepper ads, headphones, and now a computer. Dre puts all of his focus into finishing Detox. With Interscope wanting a more mainstream Relapse 2, and Dr. Dre putting all of his attention into wrapping up Detox, Eminem scraps a lot of Relapse 2 (not all of it) and brings in Just Blaze and Denaun Porter to take over from where Dre left off on. Eminem hopes that Just Blaze can challenge him creatively since it is the first time either of the two have worked together.
- Relapse 2 was originally meant to be released early fall, but Interscope decided against it because of how well Jay-Z’s “The Blueprint 3″ was doing. They couldn’t do November because it would steal thunder from 50 Cent’s Before I self Destruct album. Rumor is that The Game’s R.E.D album was pushed back because they want to release Relapse 2 before R.E.D.
- Interscope is pushing Eminem hard to have his album out in December just in time for the Grammys which occur January 31st, 2010. Some executives have complained that Eminem might miss the 4th quarter because he is being too much of a perfectionist on the album.
- No singles have been released for Relapse 2 because they are waiting for 50 Cent’s album to drop. They don’t want to derail any hype for 50’s album. They want 50’s album to have HUGE Black Friday sales. They want 50’s album to be the hot topic of November which is why you’ll hear about no singles until after Thanksgiving/Black Friday is over with. Start expecting to hear a LOT more about Relapse 2’s first single after Thanksgiving week.
- A song between Eminem and Slaughterhouse members has been recorded as a way to get Interscope more excited about the possibilities of Slaughterhouse being signed to Shady Records. It is not known whether this song will end up on Relapse 2 or if it will be aired on Shade 45 without being attached to any particular album. Eminem feels strongly about signing Slaughterhouse as an attempt to replace all the guys who left his label such as Obie Trice, Stat Quo, etc. Interscope hasn’t been too thrilled with Shady Records’s track record of picking rappers who aren’t very marketable, so Eminem is trying to reconstruct the talent roster at Shady Records from the bottom-up.
-
Thanks for the rumors.. It's fun to read them true or not..
-
eminem should tell interscope black people like slaughterhouse, they'll get signed then
i was hoping relapse 2 would have a similar feeling to relapse 1, guess not
-
bring this album on.
-
bullshiting a lot...lol @ black people
-
I don't think I'd wanna hear another album exactly like Relapse. I'd hope for something a bit different in style. Although I hope the album isn't filled with tracks like Beautiful...
-
It was a concept album using horror core themes such as homocidal murders, rape, and famous serial killers as a metaphor to Eminem’s drug addictions
If that's the case then worst concept album ever. Its not much of a concept album if no one knows its a concept album.
Interscope figures whites will buy anything Eminem makes no matter what
True, hahah.
hey want 50’s album to have HUGE Black Friday sales
I have a feeling they'll be somewhat disappointed
Around this time, the most successful single on Relapse is a song that has nothing to do with horror or silly parodies of celebrities. It’s an introspective song called “Beautiful” about Eminem’s depressing and coping with drugs and stress
didn't like the song that much, but agree that he needs to do more serious songs. The making fun of celebrities thing is way too played out by now, and the crazy serial killer thing is headed in that direction. Surely he can find another serious subject besides drugs to talk about? That's what a well-rounded rapper would be able to do.
-
it was obviously a concept album. i guess it went over your head.

It was a crappy concept album. Or it would be to anyone who ls a fan of concept albums. You do realize a concept album is more than just songs about the same thing? And throwing random singles on it is definitely a no-no.
-
ya, 'We Made You' was wack, dope beat, wack song lyrically! we didn't need another 'With Out Me'. 'Crack A Bottle' was genius in that it exploded as an single on iTunes, that shit worked, even hearing the demo version "number 1" w/ Em doin Dre's verse was classical! but putting that shit on Relapse pissed me off! 'Beautiful' was well... beautiful but i didn't shit my pants like when I1st saw the 3 A.M. video that song's beat is dope & lyrically Em literally murdered it! I think the whole concept behind Relapse was perfect nothing about it was flawed! I even replaced the bonus cuts 'My Darling' w/ 'We Made You' & 'Careful What You Wish For' w/ 'Crack A Bottle' & burned a CD w/ my FLAC copies of the whole Relapse album including bonus cuts I downloaded from eminem.com. that's the real Relapse I believe Em had intended for us to hear, 8) so when ever I bump Relapse the track-listing is as follows:
01. Dr. West
02. 3AM
03. My Mom
04. Insane
05. Bagpipes From Baghdad
06. Hello
07. Tonya (Skit)
08. Same Song & Dance
09. My Darling 8)
10. Medicine ball
11. Paul (Skit)
12. Stay Wide Awake
13. Old Time’s Sake (Feat. Dr. Dre)
14. Must Be The Ganja
15. Mr. Mathers
16. Deja Vu
17. Beautiful
18. Careful What You Wish For 8)
19. Steve Berman (Skit)
20. Underground/Ken Kaniff
'My Darling' & 'Careful What You Wish For' are deep & serious tracks like 'Beautiful' but they lack that annoying sappiness that appeal to the gullible & incredibly stupid masses who fall for that kinda ridiculous shit! also his voice hasn't bothered me much on the rest of the album w/ the exception of the horrendous 'We Made You' because if you notice his accent & cadences work to congeal his vocal & flow into & on to the music making it more cohesive w/ his wordplay which is what makes him unique as a rapper despite his skin color! I'm disappointed to hear about the changes, they will more than likely be true... fuckin' Greedy ass Interscope! :-\

Well....
#1 - Get rid of the du-rag and them hats with the strap in tha back LMAO! Get a little bit of style, that bum shit 24/7 is stupid.
#2 - Gid rid of that annoying voice. Only 1 track should be done like that, keep that nasty shit to a minimal.
#3 - Go Political with the raps a lil more, get wit Ice Cube on a track. The dude got a big VOICE for Detroit, since he's from there - I'm sure he can help someway. I just hope he don't always sound so too serious like he's forcing it. that "perfectionist" shit stands out. It'll stick out if he's true from the heart or just sayin it to say it
#4 - Get rid of the DUMBASS hooks and songs. Tracks like Crack A Bottle could've been way better without that PeeWee Herman shit in the content.
#5 - No more Bi-Sexual lyrics. "come here Hector let me bisexually wreck/rape ya"... no That shit needs to go asap, i get the whole serial killer thing like Dahmer and all of them but I can't ride down the street playin shit like that in my car. that shit creates akward moments.
#6 - USE THOSE MUTHAFUCKIN BEATS. Dr. Dre be lacin this nigga wit crazy heat and it sounds like he's forcing himself to make bullshit.
#7 - Fall back. The game doesn't need Eminem like it did in the first half of the 00's. Or leave Aftermath and make his own thing pop off the way he wants it to sound. Aftermath is too gangsta for a depressed white boy from Detroit who just wants to clown around and be an individual. But i ain't saying quit altogether the homey got mad skills.

^i'll take all those flaws you mentioned & still bump it & love it 15 times more than that other mainstream Gucci, Jeezy, Wayne bullshit.
all points made besides 1,3 & 7; i agree with for the most part.
-
Relapse 2 was supposed to be like Relapse and with all Dre beats, EM said they recorded so much material together it was 2 albums worth. Now all this shit Just Blaze and other mainstream producers is going to make R2 a lot worse
-
Do this...do that...blah blah blah
-
Someone asked Joe Budden on his stream the other night "what are the chances of Joe Budden & Eminem doing a track"
he said, "very likely"
-

god, that track will be so emo sounding, yet so good lol.
i can't see Eminem putting Joe Budden on his album, i don't know why; but i know for sure if he could get a verse out of Em, it would be on Joey's album without a doubt.

Yeh, i dont really see it on Em's album either. Maybe a Slaughterhouse track.
No way is Joey leaving a song with Em off his album though :laugh:
-
^yeah, maybe that "Forever" music video was some foreshadowing for things to come. 8)
-
Interscope doesn't like albums to flop, so they will NEVER sign Slaughterhouse
-
we will see when it does come out.
-
bullshiting a lot...lol @ black people
-
Bishop Lamont should've had those beats on Relapse instead of Eminem. not from a fan perspective but an artististic perspective.
-
we need more "Drug Ballade" songs 8) 8)
-
Looking forward to hearing that Slaughter House cut with Em 8)
-
interscope done eminem a favour...relapse had about 3 good tunes on and suprise suprise they were the ones where he was serious and not puttin on a silly accent ansd talkin rubbish for the sake of doing so...
-
Bishop Lamont should've had those beats on Relapse instead of Eminem. not from a fan perspective but an artististic perspective.
especially if they wanted more sales from "Black People" they should have released 'The Reformation' last year! :laugh:
I'm white & I'd fuck wit a BL album WAYYY before I'd even consider touching an Em album, the only thing that made Relapse special to me was all of Dre's exclusive Beats all over the entire album. Proof was the only thing about Eminem that kept me interested, but now we know that association doesn't exist any more... RIP Proof! 8)
and w/ a lack of Dre Beats on R2 as well as a more tame & marketable Em w/o him spazzin out like crazy makes me more likely to download the shit when it comes out, instead of paying for more commercial garbage just out of spite, but I'm only one person out of millions so who gives a fuck, I'm not even a real big Em fan to begin w/ :laugh: !

truthfully i feel tha same way and im black lol but real talk tho, those beats on Relapse screamed for Bishop's flow (listen to it in your head). But i like Em tho, he's still got it. But like i was saying, Em should just fade back a lil more; he's the 1 white rapper that made it lol he shouldn't throw dirt on his legacy just to plz Interscope or sell to an imaginary audience that they think will buy it. People are screaming for that RAW MUSIC from Eminem with beats by whoever (truthfully, as long as it's hot). But if u ask me, him and Alchemist should hook up a lil' more, just for tha simple fact that they ARE white and they make/do music a lot better than most. No1 is gonna care for or pay for garbage, and when i say garbage, i mean a style that they already know is shaky with ppl. just drop music about relevant subjects of today without the herman voices and just put it out there, waiting for the cult to keep following and keeping the fans patient just isn't gonna do it in 2010, there's other artist to listen to.

lol it wasn't so much the horrorcore production (bcuz it wasn't even that prevalent in the music) it was just the subject matter and mainly the annoying Herman voice. No1 of all races wants to hear shit like that. 3AM would've been the shit w/o the accent and the strange strange lyrics (like jackin' off and being raped), that shit ain't gonna fly with anybody except maybe a few kids who r in2 that extreme alternative shit.

he should just release it just as the 7 new songs, the bonus tracks from R1, and the recent tracks we've been getting from him since Relapse 1 dropped (my ball, my darling, etc). no need to reprint Relapse 1, it'll just make people download it rather than buy it. dum ass music execs... they just dont get it. if people obviously didnt feel R1 like they hoped then why would they push it in our ears again, they must be really cool with people pressing that skip button lol

Yeah I fucking hate when people re release special editions of albums, I'd buy a EP of the new tracks, but fuck buying the album again until it hits the bargain bin!
Relapse was dope, he did need to keep My Darling and Careful What You Wish For on there though to help with the concept
-
Those 7 new songs could be cuts that were recorded for R1 but won't be on R2. Looking forward to some new Em.

lol@white people buying and loving anything eminem releases. Im mostly convinced of that. and blacks didnt buy relapse or aint been bumping him? Shit they only just found out, niggaz aint been checkin on eminem since he decided to drop that eminem show album. MMLP was the last time eminem really came good imo, that was a more 'universal album' His shit has been all white basically since. I cant dig nothing pretty much bar a joint here and there.
Still i look forward to the just blaze and em joints...not sure why got denaun on it.

The Eminem Show was the shit and tracks he did around the time of 8Mile, but after that it was just downhill from there as far as a "universal" appeal goes or trying to get tru niggaz to bump to Eminem's shit. cuzzo is just to much of a dork 2 b played after 2weeks of a new album. Deja Vu and maybe like 1 or 2 songs were the only listenable shit on Relapse (Beautiful was too slow and depressed), the rest of the album was just too industrialized and intended for the mainstream; the mainstream shit that nobody likes except toddlers who don't have that much broader knowledge on music besides Barney & Go Diego Go.

Na, the fact is, I've just told the truth, so you've got nothing to say back. Admit it.

Those 7 new songs could be cuts that were recorded for R1 but won't be on R2. Looking forward to some new Em.
I hope they are seven of the best cuts from the original version of relapse 2 before he started reworking it. I like this idea....but he could've released a double album earlier this year. first disc would've ended at must be the ganja and the second disc starts at deja vu. just my 2 cents.... :)

ya, 'We Made You' was wack, dope beat, wack song lyrically! we didn't need another 'With Out Me'. 'Crack A Bottle' was genius in that it exploded as an single on iTunes, that shit worked, even hearing the demo version "number 1" w/ Em doin Dre's verse was classical! but putting that shit on Relapse pissed me off!

'My Darling' & 'Careful What You Wish For' are deep & serious tracks like 'Beautiful' but they lack that annoying sappiness that appeal to the gullible & incredibly stupid masses who fall for that kinda ridiculous shit! also his voice hasn't bothered me much on the rest of the album w/ the exception of the horrendous 'We Made You' because if you notice his accent & cadences work to congeal his vocal & flow into & on to the music making it more cohesive w/ his wordplay which is what makes him unique as a rapper despite his skin color! I'm disappointed to hear about the changes, they will more than likely be true... fuckin' Greedy ass Interscope! :-\
Any way you can upload this for me? I like Eminem but I purposely stayed away from Relapse, but I might want to give this a try

yall cats gotta realize that Em sells strictly based on his race
Em is the only rapper who can rap about havin a small dick, makin fart noises and have a group with a nigga rappin about fucking his grandma and shit and still sell..
lmao white boys are fucking hilarious i swear
whats even funnier is when they try to say that Relapse is the best album of the year....ummmm ;D

if i had a dollar for everytime i heard a black person say Relapse is album of the year or a "mad good album"; i'd be a billionaire lol.
personally, i don't think it was album of the year; nor would i put it in the top 5 or 10 of the year.
& don't dodge what i said, for somebody who would support Game on autotune & call it "legendary", you certainly shouldn't be saying anything, lmfao.

Eminems only dope album was MM
all the other albums were trashcan material really

lol@white people buying and loving anything eminem releases. Im mostly convinced of that. and blacks didnt buy relapse or aint been bumping him? Shit they only just found out, niggaz aint been checkin on eminem since he decided to drop that eminem show album. MMLP was the last time eminem really came good imo, that was a more 'universal album' His shit has been all white basically since. I cant dig nothing pretty much bar a joint here and there.
Still i look forward to the just blaze and em joints...not sure why got denaun on it.
The Eminem Show was the shit and tracks he did around the time of 8Mile, but after that it was just downhill from there as far as a "universal" appeal goes or trying to get tru niggaz to bump to Eminem's shit. cuzzo is just to much of a dork 2 b played after 2weeks of a new album. Deja Vu and maybe like 1 or 2 songs were the only listenable shit on Relapse (Beautiful was too slow and depressed), the rest of the album was just too industrialized and intended for the mainstream; the mainstream shit that nobody likes except toddlers who don't have that much broader knowledge on music besides Barney & Go Diego Go.
Oh loose yourself was heated and was def universal and there was two/possibly three tracks on eminem show which could be considered universal...but overall eminem show was a very white album...really rocky loud sounding. I never said the album wasnt good...it was good...nothing amazing at all, but was a good album but the last time i felt eminem sounded universal enough to come at me and i aint the only one, i dont know A SINGLE fellow black cat who really dug eminem since MMLP...that was his best ....sslp/eminem - both dope...but more for his white fans...8 mile had some moments from eminem and theres been a joint here and there but the last time eminem really came straight on a universal level enough to hit a black cat was MMLP. Most 'latinos' love eminem..or they used to anyway, but blacks is a different story.
Really i couldnt give a fuck anyway. If he makes dope music, i'll respect it, if not, i wont. People on here will love anything eminem regardless. Trust me, this thread got a few of his stans in it already...;-) lol

While this post is disrespecful to white cats, i got to agree with it in terms of how they think when eminem comes into the equation. Dude could put out 60 mins of fart sounds and u know 1 million white cats plus bosnio boi gone make him platinum

his lyrical content is incredibly lacking and his delivery is bad, especially with the voice he's using now. You would honestly want to hear nasal mainstream comedic songs all day about drugs and making fun of celebrities? It would be just as bad as it is now.

i think you need to need to lay off the stereotypes: i'm sure there's a lot of white people on here, but the opinions about Relapse are mixed
-
im white and ive hated his last two albums
his 1st two are classics though without question
only reason i even burned relapse was to see if he still has it
he dosent....
-
he still has it. you'll be back listening soon enough
