Alright so as a prologue here, in the midst of all the nonsense threads with no value or creative ideas, I decided to share this, even if it far-fetched. I posted something similar to this forum about two years ago but I changed my idea around a little bit and added some. Here it goes:

So, I think in the recent Eminem albums people missed a huge pattern or concept that really is genius. Relapse comes, this is pretty much pure Slim Shady except for a few songs (Deju Vu, Beautiful, etc..) Clearly, on Relapse Slim Shady, the fictional character, was essentially out of control with murders, rapes, drugs, and more.

At the end of Relapse came My Darling. My Darling can be simply the most important song in Eminem's career until this point. It shows how after everything on Relapse, he comes to the realization that he is actually Slim Shady. They are one person.

Recovery comes and Slim Shady is essentially absent. No Slim Shady songs, just pure Eminem and Marshall Mathers.

Marshall Mathers LP 2 comes where it shares the same theme as the original as in most songs are him as simply Marshall Mathers, however there's one exception, Slim Shady is back. However, not like before. Bad Guy shows again Eminem dealing with Slim Shady, however coming out victorious. At this point, it further confirms that he recognizes Eminem and Slim Shady are equal, they are one.

Evil Twin comes and for the first time, ever, in his entire career, he has control of Slim Shady. It's his dark side that he can use when he needs. It no longer controls him. The drugs, hatred he had, and so many more things are now controllable by Eminem, as Slim Shady is no longer a figure that is uncontrollable. He has matured.

And so, I think in the next album we're going to see a continuation of this theme. Eminem and Slim Shady being the same person, with the ability to control each. Every album he has had so far sounded completely different, and I don't think this new album will be an exception.

As for a release date? Summer 2017. Why? This gives him the opportunity to not miss the Grammy cutoff and various other award shows. If he waits until the fall, the album won't get the publicity it would normally get and he likely wouldn't get offers to perform either. MMLP2 wasn't present in the upcoming Grammys, it wasn't even nominated until the following year when by then it wasn't even relevant anymore.

I can be completely wrong. I don't know. Discuss?

Whatever the concept, he'll surprise us with the sound of the album and it's pretty amazing at this point in his career we have absolutely no idea what he is going to come up with

Very excited as this has surely been in the works for years. Hopefully in for something special..


but please don't be too much longer, Marshall
