I found this on anotha site posted by some guy. This could be a very sad person with nothing else better to do makeing shit up or it could be geniue. Thats for you to decide.

Everything is tight lipped in regards to the new Eminem material, and reasonably so. After a recent submission to Interscope execs by Dr. Dre of Eminem’s fifth solo LP the nervousness in the room was startlingly apparent. Artists have recently complained constantly that the real reason record sales are down is because of a lack of quality, what’s sickening is one major artists has finally offered what’s missing, but Interscope is timid to release it.

After getting to listen to the album at an Executive Listening Meeting I must say that Eminem’s latest offering is the most solid commercial hip-hop album poised for release in the last four maybe even five years. Interscope is however fearful to release this album without a “My Name Is” type single. Eminem, however, will probably never drop this album or another album on Interscope if he is forced to include a single in the vein of “My Name Is” or “Without Me.” Not to say the album lacks the goofy Eminem the public knows well, its just this time things aren’t the same. Interscope actually has a potential goofy single with “Everybody” but don’t want to release it as a single due to a bar along the lines of “Everybody loves me, and deep down hate Soulja Boy” so Eminem must return from retirement like a Chuck Norris movie. The song is very funny and the content is light years ahead of “Just Lose It,” but Interscope is fearful of Eminem dissing an artist that makes them money in this day and age of the music business.

When Eminem sold eight million records they had no problem with him attacking Limp Bizkit, but in this day and age where Eminem might only sell two to three million records, Interscope isn’t sure it is worth it.
Some good things about the album is the production. The production value on this album is of the highest quality I’ve ever heard from an Eminem album. Two of the beats done by Dr. Dre will be undoubtedly heralded as classics: “What You Need” and “Anytime.” The album also has some of Eminem’s best tracks in years, “Pushin’” (which will most likely be the first single), “Kill Em’” and “Living Proof.” The subjects are all interesting with a lot of talk about revenge, suicide, addiction, loss, and depression.

The album is very inspirational for an Eminem album. Also, some of the guests are surprising: Nas and Jay-Z. Eminem’s Shady roster aren’t found too much on the album, 50 & Ca$his split 16 bars on a track with Jay-Z, and Ca$his raps a hook, Dr. Dre and Obie Trice also guest on seperate tracks. Surprisingly the only Shady artist who has a whole verse is Obie Trice, whether we will hear from D-12, Bobby Creekwater, or Stat Quo again who knows? Jimmy Iovine doesn’t care much for D-12 or Bobby Creekwater.

Some of the bad things about the album is the waste of a track with Jay-Z. Everyone was pretty disappointed by his decision to include 50 Cent and Ca$his on the track. The track pretty much has the same formula as “You Don’t Know.” The skits are terrible aside from the hilarious Dr. Dre intro. Eminem’s production on "My Business" is the lowest point of the album too. Something I’d expect to hear on an Obie Trice album, way too boring for an Eminem album. Interscope’s choice to have “King Mathers” on the album, they are pushing for this more than anybody. Eminem wants to title the album “Living Proof” but Interscope feels “King Mathers” is more marketable. They may settle on “Living Proof: The King Mathers LP.”
Overall the album is very good, much better than “Encore”, as good as “The Eminem Show”, not quite as good as “The Marshall Mathers LP.” This album can easily sell five million if Interscope does it right and releases “Pushin’” as the lead single, leaves “King Mathers” as just album filler and release “What Would You Do?” in time for a summer single. We will see.
