Em thought it would be nice to drop 2 albums this year. Don’t believe me? Read this press release please:
SANTA MONICA, CA – March 5, 2009 – Eminem, the biggest selling music artist of the decade, officially announced the street date of his eagerly awaited new album; his first original studio album in over four years. Relapse (Interscope/ Aftermath/Shady) will be released on May 19, 2009. The first single from the album and its accompanying video will see a simultaneous release on April 7th.
Anticipation for Relapse has been building since the fall, when Eminem first announced the album title and debuted the freestyle, “I’m Having A Relapse,” during an interview on his Shade 45 satellite radio station. Last month, the release of “Crack A Bottle” from Eminem, Dr. Dre and 50 Cent brought that anticipation to a head. The track soared to #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 (Eminem’s second #1 after 2002’s “Lose Yourself”) and set a Nielsen SoundScan record for opening week download sales (418,000). The recording ranked third in the history of all weekly download sales. “Crack A Bottle” will be included as an album track on Relapse.
With the announcement of the release date for Relapse also comes confirmation of something that had been rumored in recent weeks: Eminem is already working on a follow-up album, Relapse 2, that fans can expect in the second half of 2009. “A lot of people were expecting Relapse to drop last year,” said Eminem. “I was one of them. Then Dre and I went back in the studio in September for a few days, and that turned into six months. We were on such a roll; we wound up with a ton of new music produced by Dre. Putting out Relapse 2 will let everyone get all of the best stuff.”
Eminem has sold more than 75,000,000 albums worldwide. His previous studio album, Encore, reached #1 and dominated the charts in late 2004. Certified quadruple platinum and spinning off four Top 40 Hot 100 hits, the Grammy-nominated disc has sold more than 11,000,000 copies around the globe. The #1, double platinum, 2005 greatest hits collection, Curtain Call: The Hits and #2, platinum, 2006 various artists compilation, Eminem Presents: The Re-Up, followed. In October 2008, Eminem released “Eminem: The Way I Am”, a book compiling thoughts, stories, and memorabilia from various points in his life. The book entered the New York Times Best-Seller list at #11.
Well then.

Missed a few shows since I have been on a non-postin spree. You can click the link at the bottom of the post to catch up via Ciphs site.
CIPH SAYS:
OK, I was reading my comments yesterday about the new show format and it is apparent that most of yall are not feeling it. Now I can’t say that I love it either, but I will say that there is light at the end of Tunnel. Some big things are about to happen but before the spaceship takes off, we need to do some prep. The new show format is just that. Please just bare with us and I promise you will not be disappointed. And in the meantime we will have more Juan Epsteins…. CNN one coming later today.
Today on the show we discussed the Never Ending story of Chris Brown and Rihanna. The rumor now is that they might have gotten married in Miami this past weekend. We also talked about Michael Jackson getting 300 million for some shows in Europe, and Lil Wayne getting his drug case tossed out of a Georgia court. And since it’s no cursing week, we had on CNN (Capone and Noreaga) to NOT CURSE….LOL. Enjoy the show.

The smoking section just sent through this article comparing rappers to actors, or in some cases, rapper/actors to actor/rappers.
Only a couple points I would like to make, firstly, Micheal should be compared to Chris Brown. This was always my feeling due to their resemblance but thankfully Chris has added more fuel to the fire by also proving to be good with his fists. Secondly and quickly, I agree with the 50 = Marlo theory but wish to add that they both slur their speech and have suffered cheek wounds(on the face).

I have been getting some emails wondering just how long this site is gonna be “down” for so here is the answer: I don’t know. It could be up and running this afternoon if I work hard enough but as you may or may not have guessed by now I am super lazy. Here is a couple updates to keep you going until I get back in the update zone.
Oh yeah, Chris Brown punched Rihanna in the face…..I was there……I bit her.
P.S Although I said it before, apologies to the senders of the 100’s of emails I am getting with “postable” material.
