Eminem Might Come In 2nd To Susan Boyle

Eminem currently holds the record for the most albums sold in the first week for 2009, but that could all change very soon. British television sensation Susan Boyle's album "I Dreamed A Dream" is currently on pase to sell more than Eminem's "Relapse" project which sold 608,000 copies in it's debut week. So the question is... what's wrong with people?

Eminem Wants to Judge 'X-Factor'

Eminem sees a lack of Hip-Hop in the judging panel of "The X-Factor" and therefore, he wants to participate. The rapper thinks that the current line-up, Dannii Minogue, Louish Walsh and Cheryl Cole, have no vast knowledge about Hip-Hop that many acts from the genre cannot win the talent search.

"No disrespect to the current judges but you need people who are global, platinum-selling stars," Eminem states his reason. "You need to prepare contestants for what it's really like out there, and what sort of pressure you are going to be under." He would like to enter the show attached to his long-time music partner Dr. Dre.

He adds, "So much average talent comes out of these reality shows, it's time to give people a chance who deserve it. A hip-hop star will never win a show like The X Factor without somebody like me on the panel. There are a lot of very talented hip-hop stars who would kill for a break in Britain but the judges aren't qualified in hip-hop."

Eminem admits to have been keeping an eye on the urban scene in Britain and found that many actually have potential to be big stars. "It needs somebody in power to open a door for them," says the rapper.

How he would do as a judge, Eminem looks up to acid tongue judge Simon Cowell. "I am not sure I would have the time to do it full-time, but I would come and be a guest judge," he continues. "Simon tells it like it is and I am down with that. If somebody ain't good enough they ain't good enough."

Eminem's Refill Track List & Art Work

To avoid confusion we have just confirmed the track list and artwork for Eminem's upcoming "Relapse: Refill" album with his manager, Paul Rosenberg. The new album will hit stores on December 21st and feature seven new tracks. Eminem's recent VooDoo concert (his only concert of the year) will broadcast on Shade 45 on Fri 11/27 6:00 pm ET and Rebroadcast: Sat 11/28 12:00 am ET; Sat 11/28 10:00 am ET; Sat 11/28 6:00 pm ET

"I want to deliver more material for the fans this year like I originally planned" Eminem says. "Hopefully these tracks on The Refill will tide the fans over until we put out Relapse 2 next year". Eminem has been busy in the studio creating even more new material since Relapse was released. "I got back in with Dre and then a few more producers, including Just Blaze, and went in a completely different direction which made me start from scratch. The new tracks started to sound very different than the tracks I originally intended to be on Relapse 2, but I still want the other stuff to be heard."
