The Aftermath Bandwagon Rolls On...

As previously "reported" on here, the recently leaked Eminem track 'Crack A Bottle' (also wrongly referred to as 'Number One') was a placeholder version, with Eminem filling in Dr. Dre's vocals as a guideline for how he should lay down the verse.

Well, earlier in the week the full song leaked with Dr. Dre doing his verse, and for good measure 50 Cent pitching in with a verse on the track too.

I'm as yet undecided on the track, although it is growing on me. However, the three of them have done and will do better. This song was never confirmed to 100% be on any of their albums so it may never be released, but I am hoping for better from the trio, especially when working together on one track.

50 Cent also leaked a track called 'I Get It In' just a day after the 'Crack A Bottle' leak. I prefer 50's track to Eminem, purely for the inexplicably addictive Dr. Dre beat. Lyrically, it's never going to win any awards, but it's a half-decent track to listen to and a decent album track. Not sure if it would be single quality though, predominantly due to the fact it sounds a lot like a heavily improved version of 'Just a Lil' Bit.'

Oh, and did I mention the Detox track that leaked yesterday? :)

The track has been accredited to both Bishop Lamont across the internet, but it seems the track was destined for Detox, despite there not actually being a Dre verse on the song. A few articles state that Dre is furious that this track has leaked, especially as it is unfinished, and he wanted it on Detox.

The track is called 'Could Have Been You' and features 50 Cent, Bishop Lamont and R. Kelly. It's clearly an unfinished version, so take any opinions I give with this in mind: It's decent, but not great. The beat is actually similar to the new 50 Cent track, and doesn't jump out at you. However the lyrics tell a decent story, with each man telling the tale of a girl and how they have underestimated their ability to please her.

If you want either, drop me an e-mail. And of course leave comments and sound your appreciation!

the 3 headed monster is back.
not a fan of the crack a bottle track tbh, decent verses, good beat...but horrible, horrible chorus. it makes me cringe :(

i'm pretty sure that track isn't going to be on either dre's or em's album. more just a track they've put out to remind everyone shady/aftermath is back.

Let's hope it's just a reminder track. The fact they went to the effort to fully master and finish it is a bit worrying though...

Anywho, any opinions on the other 2 tracks?

Heard the track on the radio...so i guess its being released. I think itll grow on us.

Dunno, a lot of tracks get radio play but don't necessarily get released. For example, Westwood always plays a lot of 'white label' stuff. We'll see!
