50 Says Eminem’s Album Is Almost Done, Release Date Soon

50 Cent says that Eminem’s upcoming and highly-anticipated album, “Relapse,” is almost done. “His new album is almost actually done. I went to Detroit to mix my song ‘I Get It In’ with Dr. Dre [and] Eminem is currently mixing his album right now. It won’t be more than maybe 2 weeks before they start trying to figure out when they will start scheduling the release of his actual project,” 50 says.

When asked if he will be on Eminem’s new album, the G-Unit general replied “Of course! I will be all over the record, you kidding me? You think I won’t take advantage of the opportunity for everybody to look at me and listen to me,” 5th joked. “Yes I will!”

Previously Eminem talked about the new album saying “Me and [Dr.] Dre are back in the lab like the old days, man. Just him banging away on tracks and me getting that little spark that makes me write to it. I don’t have chemistry like that with anyone else as far as producers go, not even close.” Eminem went on to clear rumors of a follow up to “Stan” saying “There isn’t a ‘Stan 2,’ and there won’t be. Stan drove his car off a bridge and I’m not writing a song as Stan’s ghost. That would just be really corny.”
