Eminem Fans: Say Goodbye to Relapse 2 :(

[Forcedme]

Google "Relapse 2 canned" or "Relapse Refill" to read what I mean.

In a gist, Relapse 2 has been cancelled for whatever reason and is due to be replaced by Relapse Refill, a double-disc CD that is (get this) the first Relapse plus seven songs. Or, in short, what Relapse should have ****ing been from the start.

These songs better be amazing or I'm downloading that ****. There's no way in hell I'm paying 25$+ for a double set which is essentially the same product I bought back in May.

That said, Relapse Refill is due out December 22nd. I'm happy to hear some new Eminem songs in the wake of "Forever" and "The Warning," but to have me and other fans hyped all year for an entirely new album only to then be slapped with this announcement is annoying.

[Xelis]

Not cancelled, Relapse 2 has just been pushed back to 2010.

Google more.

“I want to deliver more material for the fans this year like I originally planned. Hopefully these tracks on The Refill will tide the fans over until we put out Relapse 2 next year,” Eminem said. “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.”

Hmmm, not really surprised. It was thought it was going to be a November release and i hadn't heard anything about it until this thread.

[Spider]

so is there 7 new songs? and a whole new relapse 2?

cause that = win...

i love anything eminem does

[Tribunal]

so is there 7 new songs? and a whole new relapse 2?

I think he said that it was just Relapse + 7 new songs.

[Spider]

I think he said that it was just Relapse + 7 new songs.

yeah but 7 new tracks with relapse... and then a whole new relapse 2 next year...

sound pretty good

[Funeralfog]

people still listen to eminem?

[Tribunal]

people still listen to eminem?

He's awesome. Yeah people still listen to him. My favorite band is Lamb of God and I still recognize Eminem as being badass.

(tried to listen to that Forever song with him and lil wayne though... wasn't happening, lil wayne is such a ******)

[jamaal]

I had a feeling he wouldn't release Relapse 2 until next year.

[Xelis]

He's awesome. Yeah people still listen to him. My favorite band is Lamb of God and I still recognize Eminem as being badass.

(tried to listen to that Forever song with him and lil wayne though... wasn't happening, lil wayne is such a ******)

I hear ya, listening 4mins of crap till Eminem blows the rest of the song away with his 45 second bit. Eminem needs to stay solo, the other rappers are **** and annoying.

[Yuuichi]

Eminem to me is one of maybe 2 real rappers still left. Meaning he raps about his life(well use to now he just is funny and still spit lyrics like mad). I just dont like the new rap where its "I got lots of money, but I got problem, but I got money and ladies, but I got problems"

[Cyklops]

I hear ya, listening 4mins of crap till Eminem blows the rest of the song away with his 45 second bit. Eminem needs to stay solo, the other rappers are **** and annoying.

This is true to every word, mate. Eminem is just so much more better rapping alone than rapping with others. It's just not his style.

Don't agree at all.

D12 is awesome. :gta:

[nskinnear]

Eminem is still one of my favorite rappers, but Relapse was just awful. Hopefully Relapse 2 is better.

sigh... i just gained mad respect for you... lil wayne = worst rapper ever... im so happy to hear you agree...

This is true to every word, mate. Eminem is just so much more better rapping alone than rapping with others. It's just not his style.

renegade = the best rap duet EVER...
so i would disagree...

also, my band, 1shot2shot, purple pills, good die young, how come, 40oz... and many more great eminem + d12 songs...

Don't agree at all.

D12 is awesome. :gta:

THANK YOU!!!

omg im sick of the D12 hate...

MICHIGAN 4 LIFE!!!!

Totally forgot that I made this thread. Woops.

Anyway, the initial reports did say Relapse 2 was canned, but Em surfaced to clear things up - so all is good and well, etc.

[Stewie Skywalker]

I actually like Lil Wayne, I find him to be interesting. Not as big a rap fan as I once was but I enjoy his play on words, its very unique I mean he's the only guy that can do it in the way he can. I think he might be a little over saturated now which has lead to this hate but I don't know there are far more horrid rappers in the world.

I couldn't get into RELAPSE, its not my favorite Em album, I enjoy Encore and The Eminem Show more. Maybe these new tracks and RELAPSE 2 will be better.

wayne is an idiot... sorry but its true...

his rap style is far from original... hes cocky ******, and he has an annoying voice...

if it was not for his personality and cocky attitude, i would not hate him... just not like him...

not to insult you, but his raps maybe unique, but not in a good way... he over uses metaphors, and confuses them with genius lyrics... he tries so hard to be "different" when he is almost as generic as they get... his rhyme pattern is lame, and his flow is horrid...

he = the worst... at least the worst successful rapper.

on the topic of hatting rappers... why the hate for 50? 50 is a good rapper... ignore some of this stupid songs (in the club... etc) and he has some hot stuff...

many men is a great song, with some awesome versus... and he killed it on crack a bottle...

[nskinnear]

Opinion != Truth

He's not a lyrical genius, but neither are most of the rappers today. Lupe Fiasco > pretty much everyone when it comes to lyrics. Wayne has great stage presence.

he = the worst... at least the worst successful rapper.

What? No. Gucci Mane and Soulja Boy say hi.

50 is not that good. Hit part on "Crack a Bottle" was just decent.

-my opinion = truth...

-lupe is not the best ever... maybe new face... but best lyricist ever? dont joke... stage presence? he is like 4 feet tall do you mean he is a good performer live?

- gucci is second worst... and soulja boy IMO is not a rapper... he is a pop singer...

-50 is better then most rappers IMO... least outta the new school rappers... (imo new school = post biggie) his crack a bottle part was awesome man... he has very very smooth flow... some of the best flow in the industry... he def out shinned em and dre flow wise in that song... as far as lyrics go... he is meh i agree... but very few artists can flow like him...

[nskinnear]

-my opinion = truth...

.....

-lupe is not the best ever... maybe new face... but best lyricist ever? dont joke... stage presence?

I didn't say he was the best ever. I said he was a great lyricist -- better than pretty much everyone today. You can't deny that. He's also great at freestyling.

he is like 4 feet tall do you mean he is a good performer live?

He's 5' something... and who cares how tall he is? Talent is talent.

- gucci is second worst... and soulja boy IMO is not a rapper... he is a pop singer...

No. Lady GaGa is a pop singer. Get your genres straight.

50 cent will never outshine Eminem, because he's not as good as Em. He might be better than most mainstream rappers today, but let's be honest.... you're probably better than most mainstream rappers today.

- i was kidding love

-i like lupe alot, i think he could be the best lyricist from 2004 onward easily ... i have never heard him free style, i gotta get on that...

-you said stage presence... i guess i did not know what you meant by that... and i agree talent is talent, if people judged me on appearance i would never win rap battles, although i do make fun of my appearance alot...

-have you HEARD soljua boy, no rapper would make a song "kissing thru the phone..." i was joking about pop singer... but he is def not a rapper to me... he is more of a hip hop/pop mix... would you say that jay sean is a rapper? i guess they are... but not in the same sense... to much focus on having a melody...

-i said he out shined him IN THAT SONG with his FLOW... that was it, eminem probably wrote the lyrics, and of course eminem could SMASH 50...

i agree with me being better

speaking of me... my friend's brother is like the biggest rap name in western michigan... (not so big since we compete with detroit...) but i have done album covers for him, and he heard me rap recently... and he called me up to see if i wanted to work on a song with him... he is not rich or nothing... purely under ground, but he is trying to get big... and it will be awesome to make a song... especially since he knows how to make great beats...

You're too sexy for that .

I've only heard his one song (the dance one) and I classify that as rap. It's not good rap, but it's rap. Jay Sean is a R&B artist, so I guess you could say that's what Soulja Boy is if any of his songs are like that. Like I said though, I've only heard his one song.

-i said he out shined him IN THAT SONG with his FLOW... that was it, eminem probably wrote the lyrics, and of course eminem could SMASH 50...

So we're in agreement. Cool.

i agree with me being better

Yup, easily.

Tell him to put his songs on Youtube. If he's decent, he'll get recognized.

- Lupe Fiasco is ****ing amazing. Nuff said.

- Refill is just Relapse + 7 new songs. Not sure if those include Forever, Taking My Ball, or any other recently released songs.

- Lil Wayne is a **** rapper. His inability to deliver makes him fail hard. Dont believe? Listen to A Millie. Terrible.

- on Forever, Eminem just kills everything.

I <3 Eminem.
