This morning a song from Eminem's long awaited sixth LP, Relapse, hit the blogosphere. We've been hearing for some time now that the album would be entitled King Mathers, and based on this title alone I assumed that this would be a return to greatness. Although I wouldn't describe any of his albums as weak, the latest few have failed to capture the extreme controversy and genius present in his first slew of albums. The new song, titled I'm Having A Relapse, isn't bad. I haven't had a chance to listen to it enough to disect the lyrics, but after a first listen, I'm definitely a fan. It's only two minutes, but hey, its two minutes from a dude we've been waiting a long time to hear. The leak has been surrounded by some unsubstantiated rumors that new albums from 50 Cent, Eminem, and Dr. Dre will all be released in relatively close succession starting late 2008 and continuing into early 2009. Apparently, Dre has produced most of Relapse (awesome) which has allowed Mr. Mathers to spend most of his time working on lyrics (awesome). But let's be real, Dretox/Detox is the one that we are all waiting for. 50 Cent's album is set to be released December 9, but neither Relapse, nor Detox have any confirmed release dates. Enough chit-chat, snag the I'm Having A Relapse mp3 here.
