Just a few months ago, Dr. Dre revealed that Eminem was "finishing up" work on his highly-anticipated 2013 album... now that Shady's set to embark on a mini-tour of Europe, does that mean the rapper's eighth studio record is officially COMPLETED? Hopefully, because fans are strongly pushing for a surprise Labor Day release! Dr. Dre insists that he's truly "inspired" by Eminem's fresh rhymes... so the new tunes must be good! Also, what do Mstars readers think about the album title "Redemption?"
Here's Dr. Dre's interview with Power 106's Big Boy back in March. The Aftermath rapper talks about his new music service, as well as Eminem's upcoming album:
So... nothing TOO exciting. But Dre does confirm that Shady is "wrapping up" the final touches on his new project. Since that was way back in March, does that mean the album's completely finished, and fans just don't know it yet?
Well, Twitter enthusiasts hope they'll hear something soon:
@cccevans: "Seriously though I feel like I've been waiting 10 years for Eminem's new album. Where is it?"
@MalaysianStan: "Mr. Mathers release something! The fact there is ZERO news on Eminem's new album really pisses me off."
@MrAustinRaney1: "Eminem's new album is done, Just Hasn't Released yet!!!!!!!!"
Eminem will embark on a mini-tour of Europe this month:
August 15, 2013: Kempische Steenweg, Kiewit (Pukkelpop 2013)
August 17, 2013: Slane, Ireland
August 20, 2013: Dumbreck Road, Glasgow Eminem
August 21, 2013: Bramham Park, Leeds (Leeds Festival 2013)
August 22, 2013: Stade De France, La Plaine St Denis
August 23, 2013: Bramham Park, Wetherby (Leeds Festival 2013)
August 24, 2013: Reading, Reading (Reading Festival 2013)
August 25, 2013: Bramham Park, Leeds (Leeds Festival 2013)
Hopefully this will serve as a warm-up to the album release? And then following that, perhaps a full-blown world tour?
Again, this is all just hearsay, but fans can still dream!
Oh, and as for rumors that the new album is entitled "Redemption" - this too remains unconfirmed. Makes sense though, right?
"Relapse" (2009)
"Recovery" (2010)
"Redemption" (2013)?
