Is Slaughterhouse still coming out June 12th?

[UofLCard]

We're only 13 days away and neither the album art nor tracklist have even been released.

Move this if this is not in the appropriate section.

-Edit-Just saw the thread in Shady Records

Of course it's being delayed. Shady Records won't let an album come out without at least 3 delays. It builds hype

^ Sad but true

How does pushing back an album creates more hype?

If they'd announce that album is coming out on *insert date here* and its not moving, i'd be hyped because they are confident/happy with the material. Now they keep pushing it back which highers the expectations and a chance of it being disappointing increases.

Maybe...they haven't exactly announced a pushback...but they could any day now.

Exactly.

Though, it would be cool if they drop the My Life video by the end of the week and the tracklist right before. Would build some hype.

But no, that won't happen. We don't even have a cover.

[Kill You]

I thought there was a cover?...Did they scrap it or something?

[Trimss]

That wasn't the real one.

[Mathers]

It's gonna get pushed back again.

Everyone on earth will then buy at least two copies of Detox.

It's most likely being delayed. The reason? Same as the first time around, they haven't been able to gain the amount of buzz INTERSCOPE think is possible. Two singles have flopped basically too. So this isn't really surprising.

The only way I see this being released on time, is that if Interscope stops giving a fuck about this release, and just drop the promo/ad campaign, and just release it. However, we probably have Em pushing for this release, having put a lot of time and energy on this. And I can assure you, Interscope don't want trouble with Em.

The mind-set right now over at Interscope is probably something like this: "hey, why sell this product now, when we have a shot at selling double as much of it if we wait til next month?"... And I emphasize "have a shot at", because that's what they don't know, the specualte, just as people do in the stock-market, but that's how you earn money, place your bets right.
