KXNG Crooked caused a furor across social media timelines everywhere overnight after sharing a purported tracklist for the still-nothing-but-a-theory second disc of Eminem’s upcoming Revival album.
While Crooked has since taken to Twitter to clarify he only shared the image because he was just as curious as everyone else, the 16-track collection did have Shady diehards frothing at the mouth for what looked like a much more Hip Hop-centric feature list.
The sleuths over at Reddit’s HipHopHeads board tracked the image’s origin to a Twitter account that sent it over to Crooked, and then deleted the post once he shared it himself. The commenters also pointed out that the font appears to be slightly different than the official tracklisting (as seen above) and that Slaughterhouse isn’t correctly stylized on the 11th track (it shouldn’t have a space).
Before Crooked clarified his post early Thursday morning (December 7), many online gave it added credibility considering his close ties to Shady Records as a member of the label’s supergroup Slaughterhouse. Both Eminem’s manager Paul Rosenberg and Dr. Dre have also used their own accounts to provide information on the album.
Later on, a Twitter user questioned if Crooked could remember recording a verse to “Floodgate,” the alleged track that features the rap quartet.
Another sign that lifted some eyebrows was the “Firing Line” song featuring J. Cole and 50 Cent. Eminem was among a number of white artists Cole called out on his 2014 Forest Hills Drive track “Fire Squad,” though he later admitted he would never diss Eminem.
Revival comes out December 15.
This better be real
as do I, but doubt it. just someone doing wishful thinking and/or tryna get some internet fame real quick
Looks promising.
bout time i was scared for a minute
it will probably still suck though
im sure everyone prefers disc 2 over 1 lol
Gonzoe’s Tha Code has some slaps
track 14 trial by fire is a yellawolf track from his 2017 album, so this might be fake
King Crooked the best artist on Shady Records.
Maybe best lyricist but not Artist
Damn. Internet sleuths lol. They don’t play
Still wack. I just hope Conway and Westside Gunn will not appear on this radio friendly bullshit.
Obviously.
Fake, there is some weird artifacts around the word disc 2.
I also believe it will be 2 discs, but not enough to save it from the ultra pop based disc 1
So everyone is gonna ignore that his name is “bad meets evil 2 out friday”? Clues that 2 different Eminem albums coming?
Oh nm good vs evil not bad vs evil
That disc 2 tracklist is fake by the looks of it
No shit, Sherlock.
The reaction to just the tracklist has been terrible so far. Hopefully Em catches on she doesn’t do all the pop shit next time around.
If this was the Track Listing the album would move some serious units.
Unfortunately the correct track listing features a bunch of pop tarts and Ed Sheeeeeeeran
