Eminem Speaks About 'Relapse 2', Rules Out Immediate Tour Plans

October 6, 2009
Eminem Speaks About 'Relapse 2', Rules Out Immediate Tour PlansEminem has spoken for the first time about his forthcoming album 'Relapse 2'.

The record will mark the sequel to the the rapper's 2009 album 'Relapse' and is expected to be released before the end of the year.

During an appearance on radio station Shade 45, Eminem revealed that 'Relapse 2' would include a head-to-head collaboration with 50 Cent.

“We’ve kind of done it on other records, but not like to the extent on this one,” he said.

While 'Relapse' was produced mainly by Dr Dre, Eminem said the sequel featured a team of producers, including Denaun.

“The way that it is going right now, Denaun [Mr. Porter] has two tracks on the album, and Just Blaze has four, possibly five,” the rapper said.

But Eminem remained tight-lipped on the influences for the album, only admitting that he was in “a different space” to when he wrote the original.

“With the last record, I think a lot of it had to do with me getting sober, my eyes being open again,” he said. "With 'Relapse', I wanted to prove myself that I could still do it.

“The zany, loony, ridiculous shit, so a lot of that album is rapid-fire punch lines.

“Now I’m at a point where I’m blessed enough to be in a position where I don’t need to put out records, but I want to.”

Meanwhile, the rapper also used the interview to rule out the possibility of touring before the album's release.
