Rumors hit the ‘net earlier this morning (August 21) that Eminem’s Relapse 2 LP would be released on November 17.
XXLMag.com has learned otherwise. According to Em’s longtime manager and business associate Paul Rosenberg, there is no truth to the November 17 date whatsoever, despite the fact that amazon.com has it posted on its website.
Relapse 2 follows up Shady’s album of the same name that dropped last May. Since landing in stores the highly anticipated album has gone on to sell 1,361,700 copies.
This isn’t the only rumor that has found its way onto the Internet about Em. Earlier this week false accounts of the Detroit lyricist’s death were found on Yahoo News and Twitter.
As of press time there is no official date for Relapse 2. –Max G

Ya’ll heard the “lost eminem” songs with his old crew and proof? Mad funny, check out the one called “MC Hammer vs Vanilla Ice” Proof is MC Hammer and Shady is Vanilla Ice. They freestyle battle for like 7 min, as the characters,. Proff kills EM. LOL

I’m looking forward to Relapse 2, but it’s still an Aftermath release so there’s no telling when it’ll really be out. I no longer pay attention to release dates from ANY label.

I can’t stand when a nigga says “You must like Wayne or Jay” if they dont like someone like Em, or 50, its like rap is the WWE, you cant like this nigga if u like that one, truth is all them niggas is washed up Relapse was stupid as hell (for Ems standards) none of you niggas can say you related to any of the songs like what real nigga was in the hood just bumpin that shit on they block really think bout it. Em is good and Relapse is at least decent but for Em to release it is kinda like a disappointment, far better then thet Encore bullshit but not really sayin much

Its apparent you didn’t get the concept of the album. Its entertainment. His album wasn’t supposed to relate to anyone? All music isn’t about relating to the listeners. His album was more like story telling. Again, ENTERTAINMENT. Conceptually Relapse was brilliant. Not many artist can tell stories like he did on that CD. You said he wasn’t saying much? What you want him to say? He slang drugs? Drive maybachs? Then he would be on some Rick Ross shit. I have a easier time believing that with his sick mind he was a druggie more than i would believe he was selling rocks like all the other rappers in the word talk about. Relapse is probably the most artistic album to come out this year.

BeerGangsta i see u posting stupid ass comments on here everytime i get on but damn!!!!! First of all Nick Cannon’s name shouldn’t even be mentioned in hip hop unless it’s to talk shit about the corny music he makes Period… For the record if Tony grands sees this i love when you serve this so-called BeerGangsta up. What the fuck is a BeerGangsta anyway? Em is on top and you hate it, yet so many of us love it.
