Eminem Protege Skylar Grey to Release Debut Album in July

[babyjane]

I only take Skylar's album released date which like you said isn't even solid yet & Kendrick & 50's promotional strategies & events right now as piling up INFORMATION, not really as facts of why Em's album is gonna come when I think it's gonna come. I overall consider many more facts & what not but like I said I'll wait until next month & will then go very detailed on the matter.

I don't think anyone else is either. It's all a guessing game. The only FACT is the album will be released when Interscope says so. I wonder if they even know their strategy with all their layoffs and shakeups.

^I think we've learned our lesson with FB pages LOL

Jesus, why the fuck does it matter if they both release their albums in July or not? Two completely different crowds and fans. It won't affect her sales any more than it would affect Em's. Eminem could drop his fucking album tomorrow and it wouldn't matter.

As if some random people on FB know the 'inside scoop'.

Kill You is right.

Let me ride was the most horrible thing I've ever heard and I was pretty disappointed in Em for being on such a bad song

Because he's the executive producer.

Since when do they care about good promo?
Em will release when hes finished, even if that means skylars and ems album within the same 2 weeks.
Maybe they push back skylars again if thats the case. But em doesnt adjust his shedule to no other artist, the other artists adjust.

But i think the attention will be bigger when they release close together, because of em being out there at the same time and talking about her too., than skylar can raise on her own without ems album buzz.

it seems Skylar is signed to Shady if u read her Twitter bio
i don't Em releasing his album near her release date

It's true they kind of lost it & all that turned into one hulluva mess.

Back to back affiliated albums is generally a bad business... more or less the distraction will decrease the hype. Skylar's album is gonna suffer a great deal if that happened... plus even though way less, Em's fans are gonna be kinda distracted too 'cuz of the fact he's an exec & a featured artist on her album as well.

Of course everybody else adjust their planning based on Em's schedule but Skylar been planned to release in July is just a piece of info that means Em's album won't be too close to the date they have picked for Skylar. It doesn't mean they'll push back Em's album 'cuz hers of course.
At the end of the day though... Skylar doesn't even have a solid release date so basically everything is just speculation so far. Like babyjane said... it's just guessing game right now.

Skylars twitter says "Kid In A Korner/Shady/Interscope"
Kid In a Korner is Alex Da Kids label and we all know she is signed to Interscope but Shady too?
Maybe that's why Ems facebook page is promoting the shit outta her!

We'll have to wait & see if it sticks around though... she's been pushed back like twice already.

If it does stick around though then it'll make it a bit more complicated that it already is.

If anything I think she would sell better if Eminem releases before or just after her. Think about it. Eminem is on-top of the world like he is every time he releases his album, and in the media frenzy he says "Yo, checkout Skylers album". Everyone who follows Eminem would hear that, especially when it's at the height of his buzz.
