This pic is hilarious….So Eminem’s Refill has just dropped, the extended version of his Relapse CD that was released earlier this year. The new songs are pretty good, but nothing special. I like “Hell Breaks Loose” with Dre, but everything else seems like forced horror rap. I liked Relapse as a result of it being one of the most incredible lyrical demonstrations that has ever graced the genre of hip-hop. However, I don’t really find myself bumping relapse anymore, not even one song. Even though his flow is probably one of the best, the song quality isn’t timeless for me like his older shit is. I know that Relapse was his way to get back in the game, show his skills, and get out all his feelings after being comatose on xanax for a couple years. But in terms of a quality album that stands the test of time, Relapse doesn’t cut it. The rumor is that Relapse 2 is going to abandon the horror theme a little bit and be more of a “real album”. Em’s working with Just blaze, and there’s a rumor that even Wayne’s gonna be on it. Hopefully Marshall can use his skills to make some more epic music that I can go back to and listen to over and over again like the shit on Slim Shady LP, Marshal Mathers LP, or Eminem Show. Now that Em’s got the drugs out of his system it’s time to create some art and flip the genre on its head like he did 10 years ago. Here’s a old school Em track from the Infinite LP, this is the kind of quality that never gets old.

Usually when we hear that Slim Shady’s working on a new album we assume Dre is doing most of the production. Turns out that’s not the case for Relapse 2, and the homie Just Blaze is producing the majority of the tracks for the new LP. This is some exciting shit, especially since Em said this album is gonna be a lot more emotional than the last LP which was just a way for him to show his fans as well as himself that he could still spit on the mic. I feel that Just’s beats will perfectly compliment Em’s style, and I have a feeling this CD is gonna be a classic. Em’s hungry, and his recent material shows that he is still one of the most talented MCs in the game right now even if MTV doesn’t acknowledge him anymore. And for you Aftermath Dre heads don’t fret, Dre has a couple cuts on the album as well. If you’re not familiar with Just Blaze, here are some of the classics he’s squeezed out of the beat machine over the years for all of us to enjoy. Relapse 2 is due out next month.
All produced by Just Blaze: Kanye West ~ “Touch The Sky” (Feat. Lupe Fiasco) Cam’ron ~ “Oh Boy” (Feat. Juelz Santana) The Game ~ “Superman” Saigon ~ “C’mon Baby Remix” (Feat. Jay-Z)
