Is Eminem’s Relapse coming out two days before Christmas? According to a listing that popped up on Amazon.com, Slim Shady’s return after a four-year hiatus may be dropping December 23rd. Interscope hasn’t released official word about Relapse’s release date, and Amazon has altered the listing to the vague “TBD” since news of the pre-order page spread. In the past, however, Amazon has proven to be a trustworthy oracle regarding albums that were not yet announced. In the past year, both the Raconteurs’ surprise release of Consolers of the Lonely and Rivers Cuomo’s upcoming Alone II were revealed via Amazon pre-order pages rather than traditional press releases. Plus, Em himself hinted that Relapse could be out before the end of the year, and two days before the most marketable day of the year makes more sense from a sales standpoint than a post-Christmas release.

This is why he is the greatest rapper of all time…with cd sales at a all time low…he figures everyone will buy someone a eminem cd…and why not shit you better believe it will be on my list..my only question is with only a week to sell before the new year can he reach best rap cd of 08…and maybe 09..

Greatest rapper of all time?

You’re silly.

whether or not he is the greatest of all time is debateable… but he most definitely deserves to be in that conversation. The man is a genious with his lyrics… there is so much more to his lyrics than those of “rappers” like lil wayne or tpain

Who’s the best, Jonny? My top 5 in no order whatsoever is Chuck D, KRS-One, Rakim, Eminem, and Ice Cube. Notice that each one has a distinct style. It’s like asking who is the best guitar player of all time?
