Eminem's highly-anticipated comeback album Relapse is still without an official release date, but "Crack a Bottle" should hold fans over with its rare on-the-mic cameo from Dr. Dre, introduced by Eminem as "Andre the Giant."
Meanwhile, the track's other guest star, 50 Cent, attracted attention yesterday with his own album update -- revealing the official tracklist for his upcoming release Before I Self Destruct. Eminem will guest on 50 Cent's "Norman Bates Motel" song, which Dre produces.
Geez, spend time together much? If we were their fifth grade math teacher, we might feel the need to separate these three. In fact, they sort of remind us of some other guys we know.
LIsten to Eminem's official version of "Crack a Bottle":
it's catchy...slightly crude....i would say he's maturing a bit. his book must've really heped to release a lot of suppressed anger for him because i think i only heard "bitch" like six times.
This track lacks the intensity that his older work had in spades. Good song but doesn't really get me all that excited for the new album to drop
It's a catchy fun track, I am really looking forward to Eminem's new album Relapse.
This song sounds 5 years old. Incredibly boring, Trite beat and production... That's a shame..
Never thought he'd make a dud. Too much drama, been away from the spotlight too long. He slipped of the edge of the earth with this one. And DRE? JEEEZ. Were they kidding? "Ladies love us" & "On to the Break of Dawn" ? regurgitations of a not so lost era, that hasn't been forgotten long enough to love it again. Sorry guys. BLLAAAAAAAAAAAAHhhhhhh.
However, I may just buy that album to see his fine A** without a shirt on again.
Got something to say?
