Eminem Talks Next Relapse

2009-12-02 by Observer EMERITUS | 34 Comments
Eminem has given some new information concerning the sequel to his comeback album:

“When I finished Relapse, I had a whole album of material that didn’t make it that I wasn’t ready to throw away, so that was going to be Relapse 2. But then I got with Dre in Hawaii and started recording more, and now the new material has knocked out all the old songs,” Eminem tells Complex. “Making Relapse, I was still working the drugs out of my system, so there was a lot of…just jokey shit. It was a lot of punchline-y, funny, shock value — kind of going back to The Slim Shady LP. And that was cool, but I’ve kind of flipped the page. Now I’m going for songs instead of one-liners.”

In the source found below, Eminem goes on to describe other topics such as his addiction, Micheal Jackson, and Lil Wayne.

Not expecting much from this. Eminem grows more of a pop star with each new record...hes done nothing noteworthy since The Eminem Show waay back in the day...

The key to liking Eminem is extremely low expectations.

Making Relapse, I was still working the drugs out of my system, so there was a lot of…just jokey ****. It was a lot of punchline-y, funny, shock value — kind of going back to The Slim Shady LP. And that was cool, but I’ve kind of flipped the page. Now I’m going for songs instead of one-liners.”

That gives me a slimmer of hope, although realistically Eminem is 10 years past his prime. Somebody needs to diss Haylie in a song.

the warning was sick. he's still capable of creating lyrical gold.

Think Ja Rule already did diss lil Mathers. Obviously homeboy's all about taking the high road.

Seriously though, he is trying to suggest that Lil Weezy has lyrical depth. Pretty sure he now fits all the DSM IV criteria for borderline disorder.

This does give me more hope for it, even if he is past his prime.

^He'll never get anywhere near those heights again, if any of us ever think he will we're going to be in for a major let-down.

Well, it'll be hard making an album more boring than Relapse, but I'm glad to hear his next album is more than just stuff that didn't make the cut onto Relapse.

Yknow I was thinking this would be real shitty but this news at least gives me some hope. I definitely think he still has the potential to be as good as he ever was, but I dont think he'll ever use that potential correctly.

I actually really liked Relapse in parts, but there were lots of average songs as well. I liked The Warning but my hopes for this aren't especially high.

Comparing Relapse to Slim Shady LP is like comparing rust to gold...

^^ yeah.

if he's comparing the shitfest that is Relapse to the epic SSLP, then this new one is gonna blow nutsacks.


but im still exicted lulz. eminem is like the mudvayne of rap for me: i'm always excited and hoping that he goes back to his roots, but i know he won't.

Also, BallsToTheWall, last time someone dissed Haylie in a song (It was everlast I think) Em threatened to kill him. Overacting bastard

Quitter is such an excellent song. Eminem was great when he was angry, he is terrible otherwise.

There's two things we agree on Balls.
