XXL reports:With Eminem’s comeback album, Relapse, officially coming out last Tuesday, fans and industry people alike have had a chance to listen and offer their opinions on the highly anticipated album. In the upcoming issue of Entertainment Weekly, the magazine spoke to several people who worked on the album as well as Em’s peers to get more incite into the disc and the superstar’s road back into the spotlight.Kanye West told EW, “I think that the ‘Insane’ song is genius.” Producer and Eminem’s tour DJ, The Alchemist, said, “I can’t even explain how in the zone he is. I think some of the drugs make you introverted and antisocial. Maybe everybody got accustomed to that with Em, because that became part of his personality. But now that’s all gone. The funny guy and the creativity are all still there. Maybe he had to almost die for it to happen, but man, he’s on point.”DMC, who Em recently inducted in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, along with the late Jam Master Jay and Reverend Run, is also a huge fan. “His music is his therapy,” DMC said. “I can relate to everything he’s saying. [Expressing] those dark, depressing times, that’s what rock ‘n’ roll is supposed to do.”Relapse is currently in stores now. HitsDailyDouble.com already projects the album to be the biggest first-week seller of 2009, with early estimates of the album breaking 600,000 units on Wednesday’s (May 27) Nielsen SoundScan sales report.

Those figures seem more feasible than the measily 200k+. I would be pissed for him cos that's on way to being a flop

Semtex interviews Eminem (video). Breaks down Relape play-by-play. Havent seen it yet but I think he did the same thing as the Kanye 808s which was a good interviewhttp://www.worldstarhiphop.com/videos/vide...jIGHxvi3a2b2nBY

[Trim]

[Gordon Gekko]

Only just got through listening to this album todayListening through thinkin "yeah this albums pretty good" and then hints of his old voice & flow would come in and out of certain tunes giving me hope of him goin back to his old waysthen..Underground, the last track, comes on and as soon as the verse dropped i swear i got proper excited, sick sick tune, nice to see he's still got it then the Ken Kaniff skit at the end just tops it off had me laughin so was nice to see a return of that aswellIsnt he releasing a Relapse 2 at the end of the year? I really hope he carrys on with the Underground feeling of what he used to rap/sound like/beat selectionAnyway, albums is pretty good so im glad i bought it

[Beavis]

[Adotbiz]

dre produced every track apart from beautiful.. underground is sick but think the beat is poor..

[Jm0nEy]

Beatiful's the best track on the album hands down

[Beavis]

dre produced every track apart from beautiful.. underground is sick but think the beat is poor..

http://www.worldstarhiphop.com/videos/vide...I1A4Be3lxW7BQzpwestwood freestyle, dunno if its been posted before.This is the voice he should use in studio

[Guest Cipher]

Yea, I thought that was why he was called Semtex, because of the Semtex bomb that took off his armAlthough this could have been me adding 2 and 2 and getting 6

[moh]

that alchemist beat and eminem freestyle

It's too much.

[RichYung]

1 EMINEM SHADY/AFTERMATH/INT 601,863 --RELAPSEAlbum did well. His second week numbers should be decent too.

[neeko]

[Numero001]

Grown on me. Gets better as it goes on. Deja Vu, Beautiful, Underground are sick even Crack A Bottle gets head nod treatment now. Throw in Same Song and Dance and those are my faves. Cant get with My Mom or Must be the Ganja yetDeja Vu is f*ckin crack
