Not sure how official this is. From a hip-hop site called Sick Hop.
They're included in Google News though... Not that that makes it impossible for them to be bullshitting lmao but... Just a little more authenticity of content.
Anyway, this is what they said...
An associate of the Sickhop.com staff had the pleasure of speaking with the superstar rapper Eminem recently. According to the source, he ran into the Detroit native at L.A.X. airport while waiting to catch a flight to New York City.
Our source explained that after he approached Em like a groupie he managed to ask the rapper questions about his highly anticipated album “Recovery”. The conversation went like this:
The Associate said to the superstar, “Yo Eminem, I’m a big fan! What’s up with your new album, how’s it coming along?” (Laughing Sarcastically) Eminem replied, “The album is freaking cool dude! Nah man, I feel real good about “Recovery!” I got a bunch of great producers on it, you know?”
After that, the Sickhop source asked the rapper “Where do you rank Recovery” compared to the rest of your albums?” Em said, “Recovery has to rank high up there. Matter of fact, I think it might be my best work to date. I’ve been putting in a lot of hours in the studio getting this album right.”
In an attempt to secure an accurate date for the release of the album, the source asked him, “Is the album still coming out on June 22nd?” The rapper replied, “Yeah”, before walking with his entourage down a flight of stairs into a private hall way.
