Over the past 10 years, Eminem has grown increasingly paranoid and self-contemptuous; unfortunately, so have the rest of us. Think about why he became famous in the first place: skill and personality, yes, but also a willingness, perhaps a compulsion, to start shit. We watched, pleased by the outcome. It was joyous. But history flows, suburban teenagers get bored and clever, and whether it was old age or the Internet, Eminem’s brand of ephemeral snottiness has lost its patent. By now my little cousin could beef with Jessica Simpson -- provided URL availability and a few candid photographs -- and it’d probably be more interesting than “We Made You,” the first single off of Relapse and the only song I can think of that makes me nostalgic for Carson Daly, Fred Durst and rumors of celebrity fellatio.
That said, Relapse is not the ominous cloud that I imagined it would be. It’s a slickly produced rap album with moments of greatness and others of mild discomfort. Hearing Eminem wax about Kim Kardashian as he did about Britney Spears circa ‘99 pretty much just drives the point home that Kim Kardashian is not and will never be Britney Spears. And no one else will be either. And it doesn’t really matter, largely because the main event here is Eminem himself: his pathology and ping-pongy awareness of public image, personal space and celebrity culture.
Fittingly, the highest-profile tracks on Relapse are also the least satisfying. “Crack a Bottle,” the collaboration with Dr. Dre and 50 Cent, is a serviceable pre-party anthem that will doubtless appeal to those who equate owning a pack of rubbers to the reality of getting laid. On “Bagpipes from Baghdad,” Shady lays into Mariah Carey, non-Western music, murder, and states of morbid discontent. Pay attention to the Auto-tune toward the end -- somebody’s been doing their homework. And “We Made You,” is, like I said, all wrong.
Things pick up when Eminem relinquishes the absurdo-famous brat posture and lets his subconscious steer the ship. Consider “My Mom” and its transparent conceit: “My mom loved Valium and lots of drugs/ That’s why I’m on what I’m on 'cause I’m my mom.” Or “Same Song & Dance,” which is about a famous rapper who rapes hitchhikers. It doesn’t take a Viennese doctor to recognize something is amiss. Elsewhere: NAMBLA-style shed sex, pills that aren’t sold over the counter, Christopher Reeves, nightmares, quack doctors, surly businessmen, unprompted homophobia, and memory lane with Dr. Dre and a sack of chronic. It’s a veritable mess and, in a respect, a saving grace for Eminem, our Mischievous Hero. He really is more fucked up than anyone else I know, or at least more articulately so. Moms unite.
As for style, impact, and actual musical content, Relapse gets a little tricky. Most of the beats are of the bouncing-ball variety, and more than a few times Eminem affects a weird faux-Caribbean cadence. The production is ultra-clean and the lyrics are delivered with a precision that is not to be scoffed at. But mostly what lasts is the self-pity and anger, which is at least enough to warrant our attention.
And for all the cartoonish excess, Eminem is not one to shy from the truth, at least as he sees it. Take, for instance, the end of “Beautiful,” a slightly maudlin late-album track. After a digitally processed rocker intro and an emo-ish confessional about the pitfalls of fame, he proclaims, “Be yourself, man. Be proud of who you are. Even if it sounds corny, never let no on tell you you ain’t beautiful.” I am inclined to agree with him, and after listening to over an hour of sexual hallucinations and 12-step psychology, you should be, too.
After his 2004 album, Encore , Eminem went on a self-imposed hiatus, popping up in gossip columns reporting his imminent demise, his slide into obesity , and his supposed retirement from hip-hop. In October 2008, however, Eminem put the retirement reports to bed: he announced on his Sirius Satellite Radio channel, Shade 45, that he was working on a new album, titled Relapse , and promised it would be out in 2009. Eminem celebrated the announcement by releasing a freestyle, " I'm Having a Relapse ."

slikeMXman
i like slims rapping a lot but some of you yanks are lame ha ha hes not a facking god
moz
Eminem is King of rap. 2pac is God of Rap. Lil Wayne is Poop of Rap. I think Eminem should feature Kanye West in this album. That'll be amazing.
killa
I dunno how good this album is really gonna be. His best material comes from controversy, i.e. he has something to say. This is why "Encore" was just decent: he had nothing left to say. Since he hasn't had too many major controversies (if any at all) I can't imagine that hasn't changed, even if it's been 4+ years.
Steve L
Steve L your stupid. Please don't write anything else. Eminem lost his best friend (Proof) in a night club. He got married again to Kim and divorced her in three months. He retired and is coming back. You know what your right! He probably doesn't have anything to talk about at all.
Jordan Highfill
the one called 'em' who posted on nov. 15, the date isnt wrong. they moved it, cause em was afraid and thought it wouldnt be ready. so he delayed it.
al3x
Rap slacked since ems backed down, he needs to come back and g the world of rap back up. and i beleave he will just do that. COME ON EM!!!!!
Guess whos back!!
i'm sorry but if anybody have the link of cd from eminem can send me to....
laser
eminem is the best thing to ever happen to rap. he is the most lyrical rapper in histry.
crow-tr
Fu**ckin can't wait, soo stoked. but i wish Andrew Winistorfer
would learn what a freestyle is
"Eminem celebrated the announcement by releasing a freestyle, "I'm Having A Relapse.""
it aint a freestyle if it aint off the top and "I am Having a Relapse" isnt a Freestyle.
anyways small but i thought it needed to be said.
by the way is that release date definite? i thought i heard Eminem say on an interview say early 2009 ?
Synergy
yess!!
so excited bout the new album
&weezy never even came close to taken the throne from eminem
eminem is the best wether hes puttin out tracks or not
-angel<33
angel

j-money
i dont understand why you are all getting crazy. like he said, he dont give a f*ck whos buying this sh*t, hes dying to quit. so writing how much you missed him most likely doesnt phase him. get real people.

What?
Ok!Deceember 2009!!!!! WTF.This isnt right to do to true Eminem fans.We should know when the CD is coming out.In stead of being lied too and hearing different stories.
Rachy Rae
When em comes back things gonna be jacked up cause weezy's gonna be jealous then tha carter IV's gonna come out and em's gonna be jealous its gonna be a situation like with tupac and biggie only 10 years later and this time its gonna be norh and south instead of east and west.
fool's
Can't wait for the new album, I think they just keep pushing it back to create more buzz. But they don't need to, it will fly off the shelves. And to fool's Em will never be jealous of weezy. Weezy is good but both TI and Ludacris are better in the south.
Jonathan
I Dont think EM Jealous of no-one.I do believe a war will start between EM and Weezy but, it will be about what they say about eachother.More about HATE>TI,WEEZY,LUDACRIS,and of course,EM are all Great rapppers.SO stop the BS!!!!
OK
This is for "fool,s!!"EM is never jealous of anyone!!!He just enjoys what he does "MAKING MUSIC" I can see something may happen like biggie and Tupac but, we never really no when or who?As for anyone being jealous,ITS EM they R all JEALOUS of.They wished he left for good.GUESS WHAT?HES BACK!!!TI AND LUDACRIS R BETTER THEN WEEZY BY THE WAY..
Whatever
em better fckin nail this album
em
Ti is a bitch luda is tight em is the best but you gotta respect waynes style. Neither em nor weezy can be replicated which is why theyre both sick. Ever wonder why Wayne can get away with anything? Cuz hes Wayne.. Same with em.. Theyre both pioneers and gods of the game. Face it

TMAN
eminem is da single best rapper in da world dis album is gunna b sick
trader
Lol Lil Wayne is Great? Hes garbage and he sounds like a bitch... if anything broke out between them it would be murder... And i believe 50 Cent has a record ripping Waynes queer asscalled Part Time Lover... soo be aware of that beef... Eminem is the greatest Tupac is his icon so that puts him up there as well... But any southern rapper should never be mentioned in the lines of greatness when it comes to rap for the simple fact that they have a f***in club-beat style... if u say Wayne is great u must think Soulja Boy is too... and sadly ppl do listen to their garbage but separating Fact from Fiction Eminem is the greatest and Lil wayne is no more than a wannabe bitch who makes songs about absolutely nothin! Just cuz he sells records doesnt mean hes anything special ppl listen to anything nowadays... as long as it can be played in a club or have sum retarded ass dance to it ppl will like it...
Fact!
Ya'll Got It Wrong, It Comes Out May 15th

anonymous
eminem rips lil wayne dont get me wrong he is OK but eminem is known for his gift of freestyling no ones better cant wait for his new album
Jay
cassidy would have never battled himself on a track or came up with an alter ego cassidy the problem and cassidy the hustler if it weren't for people like eminem. eminem was the first to have an alter ego.. slim shady and marshall mathers.. he wanted them to be 2 different personalities,, cassidy would have never thought of it if it wasnt for eminem.. now every one does.. ti and tip.. wayne and weezy.. eminem was the first
your an idiot
Eminem rocks always has always will! he aint scared of release to this albulm or any other short sh*t wanna be rappers that have been around five minuites.. Its about time The Real Slim Shady has stood up and probably only coz the crap he heres from every1 else at the mo was sending him insane whilst he was trying to retire quitely! This albulm will just put every1 back in there little places so they can sit back and watch how it shud be done.lol

lmfao
some of you guys take things way too seriously.
Jesse Gurgles
i think em should say f_ck g-uNOT and drop 50 and the rest of them bitches, and sign the game because em, the game, dre, and snoop would have of the rest of the rappers in the rap game comitting suicide because there would be no competing with them. in my oppinion the game is the best artist in the game right now until Ems new album comes out then it will be Em back on top
I wish the game and g-unit didnt have beef because i think em and the game would make a pretty bad ass combo, i think em should drop 50 and the rest of g-uNOT lol and sign the game. Because em, dre, snoop, and game would be a deadly combo the rest of the rap game would be shakin in their nikes
My oppionion matters lmao :)
eminem im glad hes back for making more music im tired of hearing annoying lil wayne he's corny as far as shady keep the cd's coming
already got mines preordered may 19th the release can';t wait

its me
you guys are still callin him weezy so you must still like him. listen up ever since the death of proof em has done his thing and gotten back in the studio for his homie. lil wayne and bridman and all those back pack bulls**t rappers cant compare. em and nas, 50, d12, lupe, busta rhymes, TI (when he gets out), and many many more need to get together and throw some s**t down like a giant freestyle. eminem can go for 3 minutes about so hard s**t. noone i know of can do that. he is ill. so put you s**t away and pack up and go home cause eminem the LEGEND is back to sieze up the thrown of detroit, to live up to the expectations of proof on his mind.

get shady in here to bust a couple rhymes,
just in time! this CD Relapse,
its 20 times better then his last,
way past the level of whats out now,
talk about a money cash cow,
he can s*** on the mic and produce million dollar sounds,
...especially with Dre in the background,
buy the album. its great. seriously. support hip-hop.

i love eminem he is my fav. rapper i cant wait till the cd comes out
lola
Ems new sh*t is wack..hes long fell off his throne and cant get back up constantly using people like dre and 50 as a crutch. Repetive lyrics is all that hes become, we know u hate kim and your mom and the rest of the world..i just wanna hear originallity, not the same sh*t from your first album. His last 2 cds were garbage, this one is even worse...more than half his songs he has a jamacian accent, cause thats real, all white people from detroit have jamacian accents..give it up Em your through, Weezy will murder you period.
Weezy yall
Yeah the album was really good considering the singles were wack.
@ Weezy Yall- Dude are you kidding? The Carter 3 was a good album but it is not close to Relapse. Wayne talks about bein all gangsta and sh!t he was rich at the age of 17. How is he so original i would like to know? Are u telling me rapping about shawty in da club and lollipop is more innovative than Relapse which is a great conceptual album?
Even wayne knows he can mess with shady he said it in an interview go look it up.
Very good album
This album is not so good... he has lost it and his "like" appeal!... his first single he releases is always a comedy/fun song but "We Made You" is neither of them! it is not funny nor catchy at all! especially using a silly accent on half the album which puts you off the album. apart from that the rest of the album is pretty cack too... most of his songs are rapping about him on drugs (which it is) but it is so bad it actually make no sense whatsoever... Em, why do we wanna hear your thoughts going inside your head while on the drugs!?!? its garbage... apart from that the only good songs on this album are "Beautiful" and "Underground" these 2 songs are worthy to be on his list best - uncoincidentally these are the only songs he is not rapping about REAL things which makes them good and you can relate too. i hope Relapse 2 is not the same as all these Drugged up weird songs as they suck ass. Eminem fans dont be biased rate him accordingly and if you do you will rate him easily 3/5 or below on this album you need him to see this s**t and encourage him to make a new album about Real s**t and take off that dumbass accent!!
NEED OLD EM BACK
u idiots no that em is a industry creation...tupac...an industry creation...big...that's right...the game...uh huh...all these pwned azz rappers...they all being pimp'd by wall street foolz...the underground is the reelz!
burn all that radio rap bullshtz...get the real shtz nicca!
P.E....dead prez...immortal technique...nyoil...LOTP...reel hip hop is underground...do your homework!
em is a media creation
lol.. if you were a true eminem fan... you'd know this is infinite/slimshady lp type shiit goin on... thats his original shiit he rapped on... relapse 2 is going to be eminem... and you LYRCIALLY think lil wayne would fuk eminem up??!!? are you fukin nuts?!?!
"you ever had your cap peeled back or your shiit pushed in
Ill put my blade in you like a fuking pin cushion
slice your ear clear off, Smirnoff and Henn dogg
I'll show you how to kill a fuking man like Sen Dog
Nobody told you that I'm loco ese?
I lack every sane chemical in my membrane
I'm slim sha...dy and the "d" is for deez nuts
and you can get each one for free so feast up
I pee in a cup for three months, I'm having an E party for Easter please come
you are a fool
Im tired of all you dudes who think they know hip hop. WEEZY IS NOT HIP HOP. He is a mainstream artist that makes music that everyone likes.
weezyaintgood
he got at least four good songs on there, Underground, which is arguably the best song on there, Medicine Ball, DeJa Vu,and Beautiful, the rest of the songs blows balls because he talks about the same sh*t, drugs mostly, oh and crack in a bottle if u count that.
its pretty good
This album sucks and I am an eminem fan.
Weezy is a b*tch
tech9einstein
Haha MY MOM LIKES VALIUMS!!! is prolly the best song on the album hands down, i understand that he has talked about his ma forever in the past but nothin that he says in this song has been sayd about his ma before, is messed up....imagine ur ma crushin up Valiums and puttin em in ur potatoes!!
BigRunna
hell yeah the white boy from DETROIT is back... no more lil wayne the
hassey
eminem is da best..so give it a rest.. wat u want me to confess.. that im a girl with a huge chest..man im ur sister dont be incest.. his name is eminem.. some bitches think he is feminine.. i saw him belt some guys there were ten of them..
sick dawg
I'm coming for you Em! (gasp) Back From The Graaaaaaaaave (gasp) You Arshole (gasp)
Damn, I need a (gasp) diaper change (gasp)
Christopher Reeves
Lil Wayne sucks ass because of one reason, and yes I'm goiing to single out a whole culture here - 98% of hip hoop culture thinks they are ahead of the ball. THEY ARE NOT! The whole robot infused singing voice bull ish that they are popping off is lame and played out. "Played Out?" you ask yourself ... yeah if ya donty know let me school ya to the simple fact that Eiffel 65 way back in the year 1999 or 2000 did a song called 'Blue'. It was off the album Europop (im sure Europeans probably know all this especially the brits but i m helping my fellow americans along here). Every track on that cd did the robot voice. In that era of psy-trance pop groups, it was completely over used. Guess what? Now hip hop is doing it because they feel its new and fresh. Wrong. If you delve into that idea further you ll also see that as much as hip hop disses 'techno' as a whole they use it constantly in their music. Take Stronger by Kanye West for example; stems from a Daft Punk track called Harder Better Faster Stronger. Also, the last couple Timbaland singles? no? they didn t sound like progressinve trance to you? then you need to be schooled.
Going back to the top - I say I'll single out a culture here and people are gonna hate but here it is in simple truth: Isaid 98% of hip hop is behind the ball because 98% of hip hop is black; 2% white; I've never heard a white rapper use that stupid played out lamed up not G robot voice ever.
On Relapse, you hear it one time and its Em making fun of it which only confirmed my preconceived thought that its completely foolish and just shows that hip hop has slipped and needs a white lyrical genius (sorry Nas I know you're a genius but ur slippin hangin out wiht jeezy com on) to take the rheins and steer the whole culture back into the right direction.
take what you want and leave the rest
Go Em.
RainMan
well well the album is out n it turns out it pretty dam gd!!!

Hunttom
classic shady gotta love it!
Ken
I love Em, no homo.
But don't diss Wayne because I bet over half of you were shatting your pants over Tha Carter III and now you're just saying he sucks because you're trying to fit in by dick riding everybody else.
Hop off they jock and have your own opinion.
Killuminati
where's the review?

I Love Eminem
Chazz
In my opinion , eminem will NEVER ever be as good as he was the first years when Infinite released , that sh!t was just wicked mad , best lyrically rap songs ive ever heard of.
However , comparing lil wayne to Eminem , is ridicilous .. come on guys . Eminem is and allways will be on a whole other class then wayne.
Jake
i agreeeeee with jake
eminem - 4 ever in my heart
courtney14
all u hype cuz eminem ain't da great he always talking about his life and sh*t but his songs r kinda good also i think 2 pac is ganna come back cuz eminem came back maybe he wood come back ?????
devil kid
devil...whats wrong with eminem actually spiting lines about his real life issues? if u ask me i think thats what defines him fron the rest of the hip-hop culture. I mean dont get me wrong nothing was as raw as his first albums but he is still a great lyrical artist if u ask me. Just the fact that before Eminem even hit the stream line he told his d12 crew that he would go platinum to get them a record deal. Sure enough he went far behond platinum and got them a record deal. For someone to call that out and put it in motion says alot about them.
TJ
best rapper alive! period

omg this album is just wicked!!! love 3 AM
eminem ...
Devil Kid is a dumbass. Pac is DEAD get over it moron

taylor
hahaah he only sold 600k, carter made 1.6mill hahah f eminem bitch ass
he sucks
Len did the robot voice RainMan.
chico
Listen to this. everyone who thinks eminem is over and done with, hes not, this is the just the beginning, he had his problems and how hes admitting them in the ways hes best at. funny raps and actually adding humor to his troubled life, what kind of person do you know who admits their wosrt probelms in life and can laugh about it and basically put it all behind him. his rhymes are ubelievable he can take everyday common words and put them all together in a storylike form. i have a proposition for peple who think hes lost it, sit down and actually listen to what hes saying(literal sarcasticnes and lyrical meanings). thats what you need to listen to. if you know rap, and i mean real rap not the rap about bitches and hoes, but the rap about peoples feelings and thoughts. thats the difference between legends and people today. think about it hes a genieus
mick
this is his best album... the eminem show is a close second, but this takes it. aside from the annoying voice he uses, the lyrics in all of these songs are sick and so are the beats. Beautiful, bagpipes from baghdad, and 3am are three of the best rap songs i've ever heard.
BH
Why isnt the song I am having a relapse on the Album, I reckon it will be on the december release, anyone knows anything ..?
Emceeb
i love you em......
yah actually i do!!!!!!!
letitrip
The reason it is/was not is because it was a freestyle he did on Sirus.
Where did you get confirmation that the second Eminem Relaose is coming out december.
I just checked eminemrelapse.net it wasnt on there
