Well Chinese Democracy did drop.....and rock fans were bitching about that for a while
^^
Whaaat? 2001 and The Chronic were THE FUCKING SHIT when they came out. And you know dre's album is gonna feature em on probably 1/4 to 1/2 of the tracks.
Its not like i care about his album dropping or not but c'mon, pushing back the release of the album over and over again is so god damn ridiculous!
And thats a pretty extreme assumption that Em will be on 1/4 - 1/2 the songs on Detox, seeing as he was only on two songs for 2001, and Em was 'in his prime' when 2001 came out.
Maybe, it is a marketing strategy. Artists give speculation on when their next album may be released, they then have future options to either announce/confirm their previous statement, or to reject and denounce it. The more they (the artist) does this, gives them more publicity over a longer period of time, and in turn it builds up anticipation for the anticipated work.
It is a market strategy aimed at increasing awareness, ultimately founded on the flaws through losses of piracy and copy.
anyone heard the song i posted - Eminem feat. dre?
