“Crack A Bottle” by Eminem f> Dr. Dre & 50 Cent Officially Released

After over a year drought of Dr. Dre productions, we have been blessed with two production released on the same day. The first, formerly titled “Number One” an unfinished version of the newly released “Crack A Bottle”. It features 50 Cent and a rare verse from Dr. Dre. Compared to the leaked incomplete version, “Number One”, “Crack A Bottle” seems a bit more polished , and the CD quality audio vs. the Bootleg DJ-Shout-Out-Version probably helped.

Detox/Relapse Release Dates

Months ago, Dre said in a perfect world, he would like his album out by the end of 2008, and to nobody’s surprise the album was delayed yet again. By the looks of it now, Eminems album will be finished in January, and with about 2 months to promote it, we’ll see it released sometime in late February/early March. Assuming Dre stays on track with Detox after completing Eminem’s album, WestCoastFlow.com predicts an early Summer release of Detox followed by an Up In Smoke 2 Tour, which Bishop Lamont has already confirmed.

Is Eminem’s Relapse coming out two days before Christmas? According to a listing that popped up on Amazon.com, Slim Shady’s return after a four-year hiatus may be dropping December 23rd. Interscope hasn’t released official word about Relapse’s release date, and Amazon has altered the listing to the vague “TBD” since news of the pre-order page spread. In the past, however, Amazon has proven to be a trustworthy oracle regarding albums that were not yet announced. In the past year, both the Raconteurs’ surprise release of Consolers of the Lonely and Rivers Cuomo’s Alone II were revealed via Amazon pre-order pages rather than traditional press releases. Plus, Em himself hinted that Relapse could be out before the end of the year, and two days before the most marketable day of the year makes more sense from a sales standpoint than a post-Christmas release.

Eminem Interview Reveals ‘Relapse’ Details, Dr. Dre to produce most of the album

In a recent interview with Zane Lowe from BBC Radio 1,  Eminem gave some more details about his next album Relapse. He said that working with Dr. Dre allowed him to concentrate on the processes of songwriting other than production.

“For probably the past five months pretty much straight I’ve been working with Dre. There’s going to be a lot of material, more so than any album that I have had with him producing. I’ve been kind of giving him the driver’s seat. I wanted to try my hand at the producing thing. But one of the best things about being able to work with Dre is obviously his beats are insane. Aside from that I can rap, I can write and not have to worry about what the beat has to sound like and how loud a snare drum is… all those things are taken care of for me so it’s kind of like being spoiled… I feel like a spoiled little rapper.

A release day for the album has not been set, but was rumored to come out shortly after 50 Cent’s Before I Self Destruct. I would look for it in January or February. He has, however, revealed that one song that will feature will be I’m Having A Relapse.
