The world has been anticipating LP releases of both top artists Eminem and 50 Cent since 2008. Both rappers have numerously changed release dates for their albums due to tweaking adjustments and timing conflicts. Finally, Eminem announces and confirms album Relapse release date for May 17th. An unnamed single will precede the LP, which will be airing on April the 7th. Eminem also announces that he has been working on the follow up to Relapse and that, that LP should be released later in 2009. 50 Cent has been busy working on his new album Before I Self Destruct and like Eminem, has also had to push back his LPs release date. Eminem and 50 Cent are both under the same record labels and are both working with the infamous Dr. Dre on their albums.
 
However, not both artists are getting the equal attention of the mixing master. Dr. Dre has been putting all his attention into mixing Eminems album, which has left 50 Cent's LP unfinished. Right now Im on the train and the Em choo-choo car goes first, 50 Cent told The Associated Press in a recent interview. I said my goal was to fit in with Eminem and Dr. Dre the rapper explains, I didnt mean to fit in under Eminem and Dr. Dre. Hmmm, is fifty sounding a little jealous?
 
In a interview with Howard Stern on Feb 25th 50 Cent was quoted saying Crack A Bottle.that song actually was recorded for my album and it may make it to Ems record because his albums coming out first. The download of Crack a Bottle did get released under Eminems name and was so popular that it immediately hit the Billboard 100 charts. This could be considered kind of a slap to 50 Cent since it was meant to be his song. When asked about his release date for his LP, the artists responded, Em will be completed entirely before we get a chance to finish up the pieces me and Dre did together. Poor Fifty!
