Eminem Reveals 'Relapse' Cover Art

Eminem has shared the cover art for his upcoming studio album 'Relapse,' exclusively with The BoomBox. The cover, a collage of pills that make up the Detroit rapper's face, trumps the many faux covers circulating the 'net. It's unknown who created the album art, which features a RX label with the basic prescription information including patient: Marshall Mathers and prescriber: Dr. Dre.


Pegged as his comeback album, 'Relapse,' comes five years after the rapper's last offering, the multi-platinum 'Encore' album. Since 'Encore,' the rap star stepped out of the spotlight and reemerged in late 2008 with the buzz single 'Crack a Bottle,' featuring longtime friend and producer Dr. Dre and labelmate 50 Cent.

The video for 'We Made You,' the first official single off 'Relapse,' proved that Eminem was back to his ol' wacky ways in the 'Rock of Love' spoof video. As expected, the video has caused a stir amongst Eminem critics and fans/supporters of his latest victims. Bill O'Reilly publicly bashed the rapper for poking fun at Sarah Palin in the video. The MC also takes a stab at Bret Michaels, Jessica Simpson, Kim Kardashian and Lindsay Lohan.


"I wanna say it's not necessarily intentional bashing in it," Eminem said. "It's not necessarily taking deliberate shots at people. ... Yes, it is. What the [expletive] am I talking about?"

'Relapse' hits stores on May 19.

You know love him or hate him he will make bank with this album, personally I can wait to buy it. First Relapse, then hopefully Detox, and finally Relapse 2 have a feeling this is going to be a good year for Interscope and Aftermath Records, plus some good additions to my music collection.

ok eminem is a legend and always will be. one of the first white rappers he opened up people's eyes and to some people who don't have as much as the rich bitches in this world understand where he is coming from. if you listen to his words he has great meaning and is an idol to most kids. if you don't like people that speak their minds and tell it like it is then you're stupid and you don't know what the real world is cause he is trying to show people in his work

okay bill, lets calm ourselves, there was no need to go all capital letters on us. is sarah palin more than one woman? oh yea, she is every woman and yet none of them. Christian is obviously a very loosely defined term and affords no real merit anyway, if you actually know anything. and saying that she was good is just downright silly. I dont think sarah palin is good at anything, at least nothing ive seen her try to do. And shouldn't redemption come from God? i would think Satan would be happy with the bad things people do. Just a few of my observations.
