During a launch party for his new book The Way I Am, Eminem revealed the title of his new album will be "Relapse". For over a year now, the prevailing theories have said the title of his fifth album would be "King Mathers", but that was all BS according to Eminem.
"There are a lot of fake album titles floating out there... a lot of bullshit titles," he told Angela Yee. "The real title of my album that's coming out is called Relapse."
Relapse doesn't have an official release date yet, but all signs are pointing toward a launch in January or possibly December.
"50 Cent, who was on hand for the event, referred to the release of his forthcoming album, Before I Self Destruct, then Relapse; and then, presumably in 2009, Dr. Dre's oft-delayed Detox as a "three-headed monster," and said, "It's a story actually ...Before I Self Destruct, I'll Relapse, then Detox."
If all three of these albums are released in succession like 50 Cent is implying, it could be a monster year for Shady/Aftermath. I can just imagine the tour they'll go on during 2009... it'll be crazy!
Is anybody else getting excited that Eminem is on his way back yet?

I can definitely see the connection in the titles "Detox" and "Relapse." I think 50 just threw his album in there cuz he wasn't getting enough attention.
My Trusted MOGs
oh yeah the great schlep campaign was completely hillarious! we must all schlep over to floridia.
My Trusted MOGs
agreed. no one wants music with a message anymore.
My Trusted MOGs
yeah 50, I'm sure, I'm sure. Why does he always come off like the kid left out in the playground that makes up stories to his parents about how many friends he has? Dude, Detox is coming out in 200never, and if it did come out, it would stray as far artistically from you as possible. I also don't want to hear about how you "stole" beats from Eminem's computer. He didn't want them, they were 95% in house producer, 4% em, and 1% Dre, so stop making ridiculous claims you stole a Dre beat from Eminem.
He sucks. Have I pointed that out at all yet?
