Porter doubts that Em's album will be out before his shows

[JAGODA]

When does his first show start?

[Guess_Who]

Not really Francesco. Ever since his comeback, Eminem has always priviliged his European fans by touring there way more than in the US.

The Recovery Tour started in Europe and one of the reason why Em is still relevant to this day is because he's as big as he is both worldwide and in the US. (that sentence doesn't make sense but you get the point) and thus it would be pretty stupid of him to play an old setlist in Europe again.. Recovery is still selling but it doesn't need a push or anything.

I still think we might get the album like August 6th or August 13th.

I guess you mean a first single. The first single usually comes out 2 months before the album. Calculations don't come out if you mean the album.

But I think Francesco is right. Even if I can't make sense to those tour dates neither. I still think maybe they thought the album would be ready in time...remember that twitt of Paul Rosenberg talking about a date (can't remember which one ) and nothing happened that day.

When does his first show start?

15th August.

I guess you mean a first single. The first single usually comes out 2 months before the album. Calculations don't come out if you mean the album.

Nah, I meant the album. Single end of June/first weeks of July. Don't forget Despicable was released only two days before Not Afraid.

So we never know.

[JAGODA]

Right... A freestyle at the end of June then the first single comes out the first week of July and the whole album would be out early August... It could be working well, I think.

Not afraid debuted april 29.

Recovery came out at the end of june.

Not saying it can't be happen, but at this point I think chances to have the album before the shows are very very small. Well, time will tell...

Fast Lane was released May 3rd and Hell The Sequel only one month after. Eminem is being ultra protective with his material to avoid leaks and it's probably one of the reason why everything is kept hidden and why no one can't tell shit about it.

I'm just saying you never know.. One month was enough for J.T to almost break a million on the first week.

[JAGODA]

Although he could be promoting the album during his tour in Europe, too.

One month promotio for a new Album dropping after 3+years is not going to be enough.

It's Eminem. He could fart a month before the album and still go 3x platinum.

[Trimss]

Tell that to Justin Timberlake or Kanye West.

I clearly understand your point. But such a promotion to get the job done, there needs to be a solid base of info. We, as of now know the following : I've started to toy with my new Album; and It's dropping after Memorial day. I mean to say that Recovery had lot of information flying around before he suddenly announced on twitter about his 1st single. Kanye sold more because he's constantly in the eye of the media, and his actions are noted. He's actually on the surface, not hiding like Eminem seems to be doing at this point. People were anticipating another Album after Relapse. Since the last year, fans are confused as to what to expect. But looking at the tour schedule, he needs to do that within a month, and I guess, well, um, he can do that, since this is Eminem we're talking about. Let's see what happens, Recovery had some crazy ass promotion during the last few weeks of it's release. He was fucking everyhwere.

You totally missed the point, actually. Justin Timberlake released his album after like 7 years of no solo album, with one month and a half of promotion, only a few interviews and no real information.

So one month and a half is enough for Em to promote his next album.

That's commendable. He's not a big Artist, achieving that is sign of greatness. As I said towards the last part of my previous post: "This is Eminem we're talking about".

There is still some chance for the album to come before the shows but it's gonna vanish very soon if they don't get busy.
I know it's important for Em to do shows worldwide & I know what Trimss means but like I've been saying nothing matters if the albums is not completely done. To me personally it always looked way more possible if they went there on the wave of a single & dropped the album after the shows but they still have to get busy in the few weeks from now on even for that.
We'll just have to wait a bit more & it'll be crystal to be honest.

Excuse me, who is not a big artist? You mean the guy who just outsold Relapse and sold a million on his first week? Or the guy that was part of the band who has the fastest selling album ever?

You don't know what you're talking about. Justin Timberlake is one of the biggest artist of the past decade and he started this one pretty well.
