Eminem's ninth studio album Revival is set for release on December 15, 2017, and there are still some questions about the project. KXNG Crooked (also known as Crooked I) stopped by #DXLive on Thursday (Dec. 7) and cleared up a few things, including the fake tracklist he posted on Twitter and dispelling the rumors that it will be a double-album.
“I just asked a simple question,” Crooked explained about the false tracklist. “I guess the Stans decided to go on the attack. They said, ‘Wait a minute. If he’s tweeting it, this must be what it is.’ And I’m like, ‘Yo, I’m just asking a question.'”
The Slaughterhouse MC also gave his opinion on the features on Revival before breaking hearts about the double-album speculation.
“What does Em have to prove at this point?” he asked. “He can rap with anybody in the game, so obviously when he creates an album he has a vision for it. When I look at the tracklist, it doesn’t bother me but it seemed to bother a lot of the fans. People were hitting me up telling me like, ‘Yo, he used to be anti-pop and now he has a lot of pop influences on his record.’ What I look at it like is I wanna hear Em. It’s been a minute. I don’t have to hear him with a million dudes rapping. I don’t wanna hear that really. I wanna hear Em tell his story, where he’s at, what space he’s in now. And you know, most of those people are singers. It’s not like there’s a lot of rapping going on outside of what I’m here for — Marshall Mathers. I personally wasn’t really trippin’."
“Hate to break it to y’all,” he added. “Disc 2 doesn’t exist. It’s not real.”
