LISTEN: New Eminem Songs Leak

MP3



Two new songs from Eminem's forthcoming album, Relapse: Refill (out December 21), have leaked -- "Elevator" and "Buffalo Bill" -- and, for better or worse, the superstar rapper is up to his old tricks.

"Elevator" is the stronger of the two cuts, a schizophrenic romp through the mind of Slim Shady. The hook reveals the rapper's softer side, with Em using a quieter, more plaintive voice to deliver nostalgia-laden lines about conversations he had back in the day with his late pal Proof.

"He said, 'What if you went platinum?' / I'd just laugh at 'em / 'That's not happenin', that I can't fathom.'" Then, Em offers a nifty line about his meteoric rise to superstardom: "80-some million records worldwide later / I'm living in a house with a fucking elevator."

But, in typical Eminem fashion, that sentimental vibe gets undercut by forays into the macabre and misogynistic, complete with a carnival-esque backing track that nods back to "The Real Slim Shady."

Em's boasting that he'd "throw a baby at another baby," and lobbing homophobic slurs at Adam Lambert and Lance Bass. Gross.

"Buffalo Bill" feels a bit tossed off, with a repetitive loop of synthy strings underpinning an odd flow from Em that recalls Cypress Hill's B Real -- and not in a good way.

Check out the tracks below -- but keep in mind they may be taken down at any moment.

Not his best work, typical Em tho! I think he is starting to miss a lot of raw emotion in his lyrics and they have just become words rather than in your face contraversy! Still like the man tho! See what his next album brings, can't wait!!!!!

your comment is "uninspired." But, I agree, the songs blow.

great songs. btw eminem doesn't say faggot. he says this:
'Sorry Lance, Mr. Lambert and Aiken ain't gonna make it/They get so mad, when I call them both fake it's/All these ****ing voices in my head I can't take it'

I'm glad this isn't the material for Relapse 2! As an Eminem fan, I love it, but he can do better
