The Hotel Bel-Air has undergone a lot of changes over the years, but it's in for its biggest face-lift via a two-year renovation. Here is a collection of then and now photos.
According to his blog, hip-hop artist Eminem will release the album "Relapse: Refill" on Dec. 21 on Aftermath/Interscope Records. That's instead of the previously promised "Relapse 2."
The album is a re-release of Eminem’s chart-topping fifth studio album, with the addition of seven bonus tracks: The single “Forever” featuring Drake, Kanye West and Lil Wayne (also on the "More Than a Game" soundtrack), “Taking My Ball” (also released with the DJ Hero videogame), and five never-before-heard tracks.
"I want to deliver more material for the fans this year like I originally planned," Eminem said. "Hopefully these tracks on 'Refill' will tide the fans over until we put out 'Relapse 2' next year."
Eminem has been busy in the studio creating new material, he said on his blog. "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."
The platinum-selling "Relapse" entered the Billboard Top 200 album chart at No. 1 in May and sold more than 618,000 copies in the U.S. in its first week. It's also the top-selling hip-hop album of the year to date.

Relapse was just crazy if you pay attention . Relapse 2 is gonn abe the real comeback cause its dark and emotional . It has "Marshall Mathers"..not Slim Shady

Sad, Shady...Sad Says
He was going great guns with this first 4 albums, Devil's Night and the 8 mile soundtrack. Then came the Re-Up, D12 World and then a mediocre Relapse. He is just dragging his sales per album down, way down by releasing albums with 4 GREAT tracks, 4 decent tracks and 8 HORRIBLE tracks. If songs like 'Must be the Ganja', 'Medicine Ball', 'We Made You' can make it on to the original recording of Relapse and beat 7 other tracks to making the cut, then that doesn't say much about those 7 tracks does it? Not buying it and in fact it WILL NOT even cross a million in sales. That's a confident prediction based on Eminem's newfound habit of second guessing himself. Also while the accent doesnt change too many things, the thing which annoys fans is that he CAN rap in his normal voice. If they have heard the 'Warning', then they know. Why Eminem is jeopardizing his own career is hard to understand.
