Hip-Hop star Eminem squashed rumors about his album title last night (October 15) and announced the album's official title: Relapse.

 

The rapper debuted his track "I'm Having A Relapse" last night (October 15) live during the release party for his latest book The Way I Am in New York.

 

The announcement puts other rumored titled like Empack and King Mathers to rest. Relapse, which is Eminem's highly anticipated sixth album, is due in stores sometime in 2008.

 

In related news, Eminem has teamed with Nike's Jordan brand again, to create his own custom Jordan's.

 

The Jordan 2, which is the rapper's favorite in the Air Jordan collection and is his second collaboration with Nike to create a custom sneaker.

 

The limited edition sneaker is being produced by Eminem in different colorways than then original AJ2.

 

The sneakers also come with handwritten lyrics from various Eminem song's on it. The rapper made 313 pairs in the limited edition run, as a tribute to Detroit, as 313 is the city's area code.

 

All proceeds from the sale of the show will be donated to Eminem's non-profit, The Marshall Mathers Foundation, which helps disadvantaged youth in the state of Michigan.

I'm just glad it's not titled "King Mathers."  I always thought that title sucked.  Wasn't really feeling "Empack" either, but it was better than "King Mathers."  I think "Relapse" is perfect...it's almost saying that he's back on that sick, twisted and raw emceeing shit.  

I'm definitely not an Em fan, but this new album may be something special.  May have to check it out.

i doubt hes coming out in the fourth qtr. 50 is coming out in november so eminem wont cut his throat and come out a month later or whatever.

i think 50 coming out in november then eminem is gonna come out in the summer and then dre is gonna come out in november of 09...the 10 year anniversary of chronic 2001.

i doubt they would all come out one after the other. they are definitely gonna try and spread it out. plus we havent heard shit from either eminem or dre so eminem will probably drop a single around February or march.

The title Relapse also plays in the Detox theme as Em is coming backing into his addiction, which is Hip-Hop and Dre is finally ending his addiction to Hip-Hop (I think). Eminem is very talented, but those J's won't get to much burn in the my metropolitan area (Maryland, D.C., Viriginia, I don't really like the "DMV" shit).

HEEEEEEEEEE'S BACK!!!!!!

MY favorite white boy will return the rap game to the essence of lyrics, creativity, and pure shock value.

This album will not only shake things up, but change the way these NEW niggas make music...HOPEFULLY.

How can it be coming out this year? We already have a hard hitter  coming out from Interscope and Aftermath: 50 Cent.....

Yeah i want both albums but recently I have had to listen to two albums at a time....The Game, G-Unit, and a few others that are favorites for myself...I hope that they are spaced out by at least 2-3 weeks each....
