The final version of crack a bottle featuring Dr. Dre and 50 Cent is out. Its for relapse and it IS called crack a bottle. its not called number one like i said before.. Source: http://www.rapbasement.com/audio/eminem-ft.-dr-dre-crack-a-bottle-final.html -- Shadygeneral ( talk) 22:54, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
According to MTV, "Crack A Bottle" will be included on 50 Cent's "Before I Self Destruct," but the article did not mention whether or not it will be absent on "Relapse." ( http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1604490/20090206/50_cent.jhtml) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Proverbialwisdom ( talk • contribs) 21:24, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
Well,now that it's out i think it will be the 1st Single off Eminem's album(Reason- Lots of websites say it, 50's trying to cash in on Em's hit (Pure 50 Centish thing to do!,Look at its SUCCESS usually a promo single or a normal song doesn't do this,It Features Some other good artists ( Dr.Dre) and (50 Cent)!) Please explain the Three Headed Monster Story,really confused,or is just some Shit that 50 cent said for attention?
No its not going to be the single off of the album and there is nothing that even suggests it. It was only a promo song. It is assumed at the moment in the "eminem fan community" that the single will be called "We Made You". It is suggested on his twitter account. twitter.com/eminem. But nothing should be posted until confirmed 100%. ---MoneyPitch
The second half of the article is currently a mess. All sorts of junks, irrelevant quotes and POV content are present and read like a blog rather than an encyclopedia. I've tried to do this and initially included the following version directly into the article. Perhaps it was a bit too rushed of a decision and needs more discussion here. I'd like to see what you guys think of the following section replacing the current "Music" section and how it can be improved otherwise. Please bear in mind that not every trivial information found should be included in the article, but only what is relevant for the album Relapse. Thanks!

Various record producers have associated themselves with the recording of Relapse. Dr. Dre, executive producer for Eminem's last five studio albums, had originally stated in September 2007 his intention to dedicate two months in the production of the album. [1] Other producers who have claimed to be involved with the project include Focus and DJ Premier, who also stated that a song named "Keys to the City" would appear on the upcoming album. [2] [3] In November 2008, Swizz Beatz claimed too that he had worked with Eminem over a sequel to the song " Stan". [4] [5] Nonetheless, the rapper would later deny this during an interview for Billboard, stating that Swizz Beatz was not involved in the production of Relapse. [6] In the same interview, Eminem affirmed that Dr. Dre would end up producing for much of the album [6] as rapper 50 Cent announced in November 2008. [7] 50 Cent also stated that the death of Eminem's close friend and fellow rapper Proof in 2006 was an inspiration on the record's material, adding that Eminem "has some really serious things to write about that he didn't quite get a chance to express". [7] Eminem too confirmed that the departed rapper would be a theme to the album, with at least one song dealing with Proof's death. [8] Otherwise, Eminem described the music as "definitely more upbeat" than before, adding that he had become a happier person and had learn to cope with the friend's loss. [8]
Although neither record label Interscope Records or Eminem have confirmed any recordings to be set on Relapse as of January 2009, some songs have received coverage from the media as being reported as possible tracks for the album. During a party for the release of the rapper's autobiography The Way I Am, Eminem previewed to the audience a song called "I'm Having a Relapse". [9] As well, an unfinished version of the song " Crack a Bottle" leaked in December 2008, while the complete version, featuring Dr. Dre and 50 Cent, surfaced on January 6 of the following year. [10] While various reports suggested that both tracks may be included on Relapse, [11] [12] other ones indicated that unclear if either song is destined for the album. [13]
Early indications of guest appearances came in May 2007, when rapper T.I. stated that he and Eminem had recorded together three songs, one of which being a song dealing with the two rappers' respective alter egos T.I.P. and Slim Shady. Such song was intended to be used by Eminem. [14] Other possible appearances include 50 Cent, who in an interview with Loaded stated he too had recorded a track with Eminem for Relapse. [15] In addition, according to Stat Quo, rapper Jay-Z will also feature on Relapse in a song titled "My Syllielable". [16]

There must be so sources to prove that this on the album Relapse, It's number one on the charts right now, no single that's just a promotional recording would be a worldwie hit. It just has to be true, we need to find some sources proving this. Hometown Kid ( talk) 10:24, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

As Interscope announced their plans for the album, I felt that a bit of work was needed for the article, especially to standardize it with most albums. Please feel free to check it out the new version at my sandbox and feel free to make some comments here on whether it's an improvement to the current version and also feel free to edit the page yourself to do any corrections so that we can add this to the article. Thanks, Do U(knome)? yes... or no 04:16, 7 March 2009 (UTC)
On http://www.eminem.com/ you can listen to "I'm having a relapse" and "Crack a bottle" right under the lettering "Relapse". I think that this is a clear sign for those tracks to be on the album, even a confirmation. Should we add those to a possible track list or include them in the article? What do you guys think about this? -- DasallmächtigeJ ( talk) 18:05, 7 March 2009 (UTC)
I just hoped to get consensus on this before it gets out of hand. I've seen way to many of these kind of articles where users try to group a dozen of sources to come up with a track listing. And, they often end up being wrong too. What often happens is that an artist may announce a song, but then he and the record label will review and select other tracks for the album, often right at the end. By putting our "confirmed songs" table, it makes look like that is something definite when it often is not. We can simply mention, elaborate these songs in prose in a "Songs" section. This will also help to build that section. So, what are your opinions? Thanks, Do U(knome)? yes... or no 23:42, 7 March 2009 (UTC)
The album is going to be released on May 15, 2009 in Italy, and May 19, global. Considering that most Wikipedia users are american, we should keep it as May 19, unless we list both. Whoever keeps changing to May 15, either list both, or stop. Kiraisgod666 ( talk) 00:34, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
I think we should put 5/19/09, with one of those little American flags. And put 5/15/09 with an Italian flag. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Zypo ( talk • contribs) 00:48, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
Even the OFFICIAL eminem website says 5/19/09. If we put 15th, we just look stupid. It will be released to more people on the 19th than it will be on the 15th, and it's on Eminem's OFFICIAL website. How much more back-up do you need? Thedevilspoon ( talk) 18:44, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

He also says may 19th on his official webstie and what source says it is coming out may 15th because i went to itunes and switched to italy and it still said may 19 so i think we should just write may 19th considering it is coming out then —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.243.59.28 ( talk) 20:24, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

At the Japanese Site, I found this:
I don't speak that language but I guess it is a site about the album (Relapse). There is a WMP audio link underneath that linking to Crack A Bottle. What does the Japanese text say? It is the tracklist maybe or rather list of confirmed tracks? -- 88.78.118.22 ( talk) 16:32, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
As most of you know, Crack a Bottle was released in digital format in February. Initially, I was against referring to it as a single, however I eventually gave in due to general consensus. My rationale was that every song can be individually downloaded digitally from iTunes and that if we considered Crack a Bottle a single, then every song from Relapse should be a single as well. As it turns out, Universal also seems not to consider it a single, as they according to them the first one will come out in April 7. So, what should we do? Do U(knome)? yes... or no 21:41, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
Definitely not the single. I just removed an entry on this page that said it was. Right now it is looking more like the single will be called "We Made You". It is suggested on Eminem's Twitter account. ( http://www.twitter.com/eminem). But nothing should be posted until confirmed. ---MoneyPitch
I was having a look at the article, after fixing and doing some edits. After doing some considerations, I feel that the album title section adds very little to the article. For starters, it doesn't even address the reader's first question when he/she sees such section heading: the meaning of the title Relapse—which is pretty obvious anyway, given that Eminem hasn't released a studio album since 2004, and would still not be enough to cover a fully built section. Nonetheless, here's my evaluation of what is currently written in that section:
Given these points, I think there is no purpose for having a separate "album title' section. Opinions? Do U(knome)? yes... or no 02:01, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
Alright, I did some inclusions (although there wasn't much to do anyway). I think it's good to go. Do U(knome)? yes... or no 02:23, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
IMO, there should be an album title section if explains why he called it that. Not how it came to be named that. SlimShady6135 ( talk) 22:14, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

As we have discussed earlier, Crack a Bottle has to be seen as the albums first single, though it is not the lead single. But many users just delete it from the single list, claiming it is not the first single. We have to point out clearer in the text that crack a bottle has to be seen as a single, so that I does not get deleted 100 times a day. my proposal would be to make a small "(unofficial)" or something comparable in the infobox and change the article a little so that it is easier to understand that Crack a Bottle is a single from this album. Opinions? -- DasallmächtigeJ ( talk) 22:25, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
According to MTV, "We Made You" is "the first single from Em's Relapse album". Couldn't be any clearer. I personally do not agree with some of the things they do and their impact on music, but one thing for sure is that they sure know their singles. Do U(knome)? yes... or no 23:23, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
Nothing should be posted until confirmed. Crack A Bottle has not been confirmed. It is a single, but not necessarily a single from Relapse. ---MoneyPitch — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.17.57.40 ( talk) March 28, 2009
If "Crap a Bottle" is on the album, it should be considered the first single. If the record label had confirmed the songs inclusion on the album before it started getting airplay we would all be calling it the lead single. But because the record label were late to confirm this inclusion on the album there is a dispute? — R 2 00:44, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

Just wondering: shouldn't the heading actually read "release schedule" rather than "history"? After all, the releases haven't occurred yet, and what we have is simply the dates on which the releases are planned. Hence, I think "schedule" makes much more sense than history. Opinions?

07:12, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
Something that just came in my mind hearing "We Made You": should we grant the singles an own section? I know it's a little early for that as there's only one single which is not in the charts so far. But it will and others will follow, so I guess we should discuss this matter as early as possible. To my mind, it would be of advantage to have one, because the article would be more detailed and we could hint at more matters concerning the album. Another reason is that the singles show the impact of an album very clearly. I don't want to rival the main articles of the singles, I think it would be enough to write a few sentences for each, name their chart positions and point at their main articles. Opinions? -- DasallmächtigeJ ( talk) 19:05, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
If you find anything, YOU ADD IT!!! Thanks.

I thought it would be an idea to integrate a few pictures in the article, because right now it looks a little poor, empty and grey and I want to know how you think about this idea. Here are a few suggestions: maybe one of the Effigy Studios and/or of Dr. Dre (maybe when he's working?) for the recording and production section, a picture of Em or Proof for the background. I don't have a good idea for the release and promotion section, so if you have one or suggestions for the other sections, feel free to speak your mind! ;) -- DasallmächtigeJ ( talk) 15:28, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
Hmm..I see. At the moment, there are no article-relevant photos except one of Proof for the background, but if there are no decent one's it's difficult. Though I think that Dre on the turntables would match perfectly for the recording and production section...Maybe there will come pictures in time, for example one of the MTV awards or the introduction of Run DMC in the hall of fame...-- DasallmächtigeJ ( talk) 23:27, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
What we could do, if no one sees a relevance problem, is add a picture of a recording studio for the production section...-- DasallmächtigeJ ( talk) 09:40, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
I do agree with DasallmächtigeJ but that would be a little imprecise, however we can put a couple of pictures related to the article like eminem with the new haircut and the issue of eminem as the punisher in the promotion section, what say?
Yes, yes - I know this might seem repetitive, seeing as this was discussed many times. However, Billboard's referred to the single as "the second single" - should we consider this a mistake? It's Billboard.com. -- A talk/ contribs 23:53, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

Today, in the shade 45 interview, Eminem confirmed a song named "3 am" and said there is a video for it, but he did NOT said it was going to be a single.

It was released by Eminem and premiered on Shade 45 and rapradar. According to the interview, it is the second single from Relapse.

We have three officially confirmed tracks: "3 A.M.", "We Made You", and "Crack a Bottle". I'm starting a list of confirmed tracks.

Alright. Thank you anyway for replying to my post, SE KinG. Off the record, what did you think of "3 A.M."? Personally, I think it is certainly one of his better singles. This is the first thing to truly come out and grab me and say "Eminem is back". Hopefully Relapse as a whole will be more of this and less of "We Made You". Also, do you have a clue when Marshall will release the tracklist?

Personally I think every single song I've heard off this album is pure trash. He needs to go back to his MM LP style, rhymes and flow.

Eminem has said the only people he worked with on the album are 50 Cent and Dr. Dre so anyone who said they worked with him besides those two should be removed from the article. 76.5.118.15 ( talk) 22:52, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
The track list is now out and there's two guests on the whole album, Dr. Dre and 50 Cent. 76.5.118.15 ( talk) 22:48, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
I personally think that the concept section has to be removed, at least based on what we know right now. It reads as a very speculative material based sorely on an album cover and a bogus rehab center. ÈThe fictional "Popsomp Hills" ("Pop some Pills") rehab-center underlines those themes, which refers to Eminem's personal struggle throughout the last years, particularily his sleeping-pill addiction and several rehabs.[35] The album title refers to Eminem' relapse to rap music and even more to the one to sleeping-pills"...all of this according to who? I could easily say that Popsomp hills is a way to tell his critics to stop taking his lyrics of violence and drugs so seriously by creating a bogus rehab center. also, why are including information on Popsomp hills and photos that are uploaded on eminem's twitter in the first place? Let's remember that Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information, so anything that Eminem does from today up to the album's release has to be notable and related enough to the album itself. Do U(knome)? yes... or no 07:11, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
By the way, if this is speculative, then how about the T.I. appearance. Nobody ever said that Em would use the song on his album, just that he intended to use it...-- DasallmächtigeJ ( talk) 19:58, 25 April 2009 (UTC)

The source also claims (as Em's website) that CaB is a single, 3am an itunes exclusive promo-single and that beautiful is about to be the next single. Should we react to those facts? (esp CaB though we had this a hundred times, because if itunes and Em himself (=Universal) see it as a single, it is time to react) -- DasallmächtigeJ ( talk) 21:18, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

At this point, I really don't see a purpose for that part of paragraph. Assuming that the track listing is correct, all those "possible collaborations"/speculation.. is irrelevant to the article, or at least to me. As User:DasallmächtigeJ and I had discussed already (see #"Concept"/Popsomp hills), my suggestion is to move this material to Talk:Relapse (album)/Resources in case any of this turns out to be useful for Relapse 2 or something else. Right now it really looks confusing, especially to the average reader who is not aware of the history of the article and reads of all these possible collaborations and then scrolls down to the track listing to find out none of this is true.

Well,now that it's out i think it will be the 1st Single off Eminem's album(Reason- Lots of websites say it, 50's trying to cash in on Em's hit (Pure 50 Centish thing to do!,Look at its SUCCESS usually a promo single or a normal song doesn't do this,It Features Some other good artists ( Dr.Dre) and (50 Cent)!) Please explain the Three Headed Monster Story,really confused,or is just some Shit that 50 cent said for attention?
No its not going to be the single off of the album and there is nothing that even suggests it. It was only a promo song. It is assumed at the moment in the "eminem fan community" that the single will be called "We Made You". It is suggested on his twitter account. twitter.com/eminem. But nothing should be posted until confirmed 100%. ---MoneyPitch
The second half of the article is currently a mess. All sorts of junks, irrelevant quotes and POV content are present and read like a blog rather than an encyclopedia. I've tried to do this and initially included the following version directly into the article. Perhaps it was a bit too rushed of a decision and needs more discussion here. I'd like to see what you guys think of the following section replacing the current "Music" section and how it can be improved otherwise. Please bear in mind that not every trivial information found should be included in the article, but only what is relevant for the album Relapse. Thanks!

Various record producers have associated themselves with the recording of Relapse. Dr. Dre, executive producer for Eminem's last five studio albums, had originally stated in September 2007 his intention to dedicate two months in the production of the album. [1] Other producers who have claimed to be involved with the project include Focus and DJ Premier, who also stated that a song named "Keys to the City" would appear on the upcoming album. [2] [3] In November 2008, Swizz Beatz claimed too that he had worked with Eminem over a sequel to the song " Stan". [4] [5] Nonetheless, the rapper would later deny this during an interview for Billboard, stating that Swizz Beatz was not involved in the production of Relapse. [6] In the same interview, Eminem affirmed that Dr. Dre would end up producing for much of the album [6] as rapper 50 Cent announced in November 2008. [7] 50 Cent also stated that the death of Eminem's close friend and fellow rapper Proof in 2006 was an inspiration on the record's material, adding that Eminem "has some really serious things to write about that he didn't quite get a chance to express". [7] Eminem too confirmed that the departed rapper would be a theme to the album, with at least one song dealing with Proof's death. [8] Otherwise, Eminem described the music as "definitely more upbeat" than before, adding that he had become a happier person and had learn to cope with the friend's loss. [8]
Although neither record label Interscope Records or Eminem have confirmed any recordings to be set on Relapse as of January 2009, some songs have received coverage from the media as being reported as possible tracks for the album. During a party for the release of the rapper's autobiography The Way I Am, Eminem previewed to the audience a song called "I'm Having a Relapse". [9] As well, an unfinished version of the song " Crack a Bottle" leaked in December 2008, while the complete version, featuring Dr. Dre and 50 Cent, surfaced on January 6 of the following year. [10] While various reports suggested that both tracks may be included on Relapse, [11] [12] other ones indicated that unclear if either song is destined for the album. [13]
Early indications of guest appearances came in May 2007, when rapper T.I. stated that he and Eminem had recorded together three songs, one of which being a song dealing with the two rappers' respective alter egos T.I.P. and Slim Shady. Such song was intended to be used by Eminem. [14] Other possible appearances include 50 Cent, who in an interview with Loaded stated he too had recorded a track with Eminem for Relapse. [15] In addition, according to Stat Quo, rapper Jay-Z will also feature on Relapse in a song titled "My Syllielable". [16]

On http://www.eminem.com/ you can listen to "I'm having a relapse" and "Crack a bottle" right under the lettering "Relapse". I think that this is a clear sign for those tracks to be on the album, even a confirmation. Should we add those to a possible track list or include them in the article? What do you guys think about this? -- DasallmächtigeJ ( talk) 18:05, 7 March 2009 (UTC)
I just hoped to get consensus on this before it gets out of hand. I've seen way to many of these kind of articles where users try to group a dozen of sources to come up with a track listing. And, they often end up being wrong too. What often happens is that an artist may announce a song, but then he and the record label will review and select other tracks for the album, often right at the end. By putting our "confirmed songs" table, it makes look like that is something definite when it often is not. We can simply mention, elaborate these songs in prose in a "Songs" section. This will also help to build that section. So, what are your opinions? Thanks, Do U(knome)? yes... or no 23:42, 7 March 2009 (UTC)
The album is going to be released on May 15, 2009 in Italy, and May 19, global. Considering that most Wikipedia users are american, we should keep it as May 19, unless we list both. Whoever keeps changing to May 15, either list both, or stop. Kiraisgod666 ( talk) 00:34, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

At the Japanese Site, I found this:
I don't speak that language but I guess it is a site about the album (Relapse). There is a WMP audio link underneath that linking to Crack A Bottle. What does the Japanese text say? It is the tracklist maybe or rather list of confirmed tracks? -- 88.78.118.22 ( talk) 16:32, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
As most of you know, Crack a Bottle was released in digital format in February. Initially, I was against referring to it as a single, however I eventually gave in due to general consensus. My rationale was that every song can be individually downloaded digitally from iTunes and that if we considered Crack a Bottle a single, then every song from Relapse should be a single as well. As it turns out, Universal also seems not to consider it a single, as they according to them the first one will come out in April 7. So, what should we do? Do U(knome)? yes... or no 21:41, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
Definitely not the single. I just removed an entry on this page that said it was. Right now it is looking more like the single will be called "We Made You". It is suggested on Eminem's Twitter account. ( http://www.twitter.com/eminem). But nothing should be posted until confirmed. ---MoneyPitch
I was having a look at the article, after fixing and doing some edits. After doing some considerations, I feel that the album title section adds very little to the article. For starters, it doesn't even address the reader's first question when he/she sees such section heading: the meaning of the title Relapse—which is pretty obvious anyway, given that Eminem hasn't released a studio album since 2004, and would still not be enough to cover a fully built section. Nonetheless, here's my evaluation of what is currently written in that section:
Given these points, I think there is no purpose for having a separate "album title' section. Opinions? Do U(knome)? yes... or no 02:01, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
Alright, I did some inclusions (although there wasn't much to do anyway). I think it's good to go. Do U(knome)? yes... or no 02:23, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
IMO, there should be an album title section if explains why he called it that. Not how it came to be named that. SlimShady6135 ( talk) 22:14, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

As we have discussed earlier, Crack a Bottle has to be seen as the albums first single, though it is not the lead single. But many users just delete it from the single list, claiming it is not the first single. We have to point out clearer in the text that crack a bottle has to be seen as a single, so that I does not get deleted 100 times a day. my proposal would be to make a small "(unofficial)" or something comparable in the infobox and change the article a little so that it is easier to understand that Crack a Bottle is a single from this album. Opinions? -- DasallmächtigeJ ( talk) 22:25, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
According to MTV, "We Made You" is "the first single from Em's Relapse album". Couldn't be any clearer. I personally do not agree with some of the things they do and their impact on music, but one thing for sure is that they sure know their singles. Do U(knome)? yes... or no 23:23, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

If "Crap a Bottle" is on the album, it should be considered the first single. If the record label had confirmed the songs inclusion on the album before it started getting airplay we would all be calling it the lead single. But because the record label were late to confirm this inclusion on the album there is a dispute? — R 2 00:44, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

Just wondering: shouldn't the heading actually read "release schedule" rather than "history"?

Something that just came in my mind hearing "We Made You": should we grant the singles an own section? I know it's a little early for that as there's only one single which is not in the charts so far. But it will and others will follow, so I guess we should discuss this matter as early as possible. To my mind, it would be of advantage to have one, because the article would be more detailed and we could hint at more matters concerning the album. Another reason is that the singles show the impact of an album very clearly. I don't want to rival the main articles of the singles, I think it would be enough to write a few sentences for each, name their chart positions and point at their main articles. Opinions? -- DasallmächtigeJ ( talk) 19:05, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

Hmm..I see. At the moment, there are no article-relevant photos except one of Proof for the background, but if there are no decent one's it's difficult.

It was released by Eminem and premiered on Shade 45 and rapradar. According to the interview, it is the second single from Relapse.

Alright. Thank you anyway for replying to my post, SE KinG. Off the record, what did you think of "3 A.M."? Personally, I think it is certainly one of his better singles. This is the first thing to truly come out and grab me and say "Eminem is back". Hopefully Relapse as a whole will be more of this and less of "We Made You".

Comment on the article: I do think that 50 and Dre will be the only features because they both have albums coming out that have lost their spark and they need to get their promotion back up. SE KinG. User page. Talk. 03:43, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
Eminem has said the only people he worked with on the album are 50 Cent and Dr. Dre so anyone who said they worked with him besides those two should be removed from the article. 76.5.118.15 ( talk) 22:52, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
The track list is now out and there's two guests on the whole album, Dr. Dre and 50 Cent. 76.5.118.15 ( talk) 22:48, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
I personally think that the concept section has to be removed, at least based on what we know right now. It reads as a very speculative material based sorely on an album cover and a bogus rehab center. ÈThe fictional "Popsomp Hills" ("Pop some Pills") rehab-center underlines those themes, which refers to Eminem's personal struggle throughout the last years, particularily his sleeping-pill addiction and several rehabs.[35] The album title refers to Eminem' relapse to rap music and even more to the one to sleeping-pills"...all of this according to who? I could easily say that Popsomp hills is a way to tell his critics to stop taking his lyrics of violence and drugs so seriously by creating a bogus rehab center. also, why are including information on Popsomp hills and photos that are uploaded on eminem's twitter in the first place? Let's remember that Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information, so anything that Eminem does from today up to the album's release has to be notable and related enough to the album itself. Do U(knome)? yes... or no 07:11, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
By the way, if this is speculative, then how about the T.I. appearance. Nobody ever said that Em would use the song on his album, just that he intended to use it...-- DasallmächtigeJ ( talk) 19:58, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
On itunes in other countries there is a countdown to relapse and lists the release dates for the next singles:
4/28 3 am 5/5 Old Time's Sake (feat. Dr. Dre) 5/12 Beautiful

Is itunes a credible source?-- Shadygeneral ( talk) 02:52, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

And iTunes says "Old Time's Sake" May 5th and "Beautiful" May 12th.

The source also claims (as Em's website) that CaB is a single, 3am an itunes exclusive promo-single and that beautiful is about to be the next single. Should we react to those facts? (esp CaB though we had this a hundred times, because if itunes and Em himself (=Universal) see it as a single, it is time to react) -- DasallmächtigeJ ( talk) 21:18, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
The source does not list the producers. Those should be removed from the table. -Marshall —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.87.160.2 ( talk) 23:41, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
At this point, I really don't see a purpose for that part of paragraph. Assuming that the track listing is correct, all those "possible collaborations"/speculation.. is irrelevant to the article, or at least to me. As User:DasallmächtigeJ and I had discussed already (see #"Concept"/Popsomp hills), my suggestion is to move this material to Talk:Relapse (album)/Resources in case any of this turns out to be useful for Relapse 2 or something else. Right now it really looks confusing, especially to the average reader who is not aware of the history of the article and reads of all these possible collaborations and then scrolls down to the track listing to find out none of this is true.

I dunno, about the license, but i think its free, so we'll see, maybe others can put it up, and wat about hte new "Vibe" magazine cover, can someone subscribe it and then post it up here? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dvivid13 ( talk • contribs) 16:35, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
What? Isn't that an old picture? 76.5.118.15 ( talk) 01:59, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
The pitucre is a photography from the Eminem Show's album cover. So it's obviously not free...-- DasallmächtigeJ ( talk) 07:47, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
