Eminem’s New Relapse Album
Technically a hip-hop artist, I’ve always found that Eminem is one of the few rappers to be openly embraced by the rock community. His music is played on typically rock radio stations, and the videos also get played on channels which generally only cater for rock. Eminem has all the style and swagger of a rock star, his shock tactic lyrics going down well in the rock scene and always providing him a second home in rock as well as in hip-hop.
Eminem has a new album due out before the end of the year; it’ll be his sixth studio release and will hold the title of ‘Relapse’. No official release date has yet been confirmed and no one is currently quite sure of the track list; with Eminem you know that there’ll always be plenty of guests involved however and many will be brought into the mix in order to make the album as excellent as possible.
Eminem has stated that it’s all about the music now, he’ll take whatever fame comes his way, but he’s making a return out of a passion for music, not money. It’s been four years since the last Eminem album dropped and as such there’s likely to be much media hype; there’ll be a lot of people out there excited to hear the return of Eminem and it’s very likely that he’ll once more be hugely popular. He’ll take it all in his stride however and his attitude it seems is that whatever will be, will be.
I’ve got a strong feeling that ‘Relapse’ will be Eminem’s strongest album yet; only time shall tell though, and with the album due out before the end of 2008 there’s not long left to wait now until we all find out what Marshall Mathers has to offer with Eminem album number six.
