Eminem may be just about the only rap act, outside of The Streets, who would cause me to get excited about news of a new album. I couldn't name one song from today's so-called hip-hop superstars like Lil' Wayne, TI, Akon, and Twista. Hell, I don't even know if I just gave you a legit list of who's selling singles these days. Slim Shady has consistently proven to me that he's a talented dude, worthy of praise from even those of us who don't really listen to rap anymore. 'Stan' still ranks up there with my favorite songs of all time. I would like nothing more than to be blown away by another song like it, so today's news that Marshall would be releasing a new album, possibly before 2008 ends, called Relapse, got me revisiting his catalog today.
"Purple Pills" may not be a proper Eminem song. It was released by his side project D-12. But I love it too much to not post it here. Check it out...

sure, Stan was a good song, but that was 8 years ago. i'm sorry, but i hope you were half-kidding when you said you'd be "blown away" by eminem's new album or any rap album released these days...
I used the rest of the post to explain how I no longer listen to new rap. I probably haven't in those 8 years. Would I love to be blown away by new Eminem?...of course. Do I think it will happen, no, but I can hope.
