We’ve said it a million times; album dates continue losing to mixtape releases. It’s not the worst thing in the world if music is still dropping, but it certainly messes with our calendars. Everything is still locked in place for May, with Hieroglyphics’ Casual adding in his He Still Think He Raw on May 22nd. As June comes, we see A$AP Rocky’s favorite Spaceghostpurrp coming with Chronicles of Spaceghostpurrp dropping June 12th. A week later, Pastor Troy drops Outlaw on June 19th. He shares that date with Del Tha Funkee Homosapien and Parallel Thought’s Attractive Sin.
The most interesting information comes for Eminem fans. While Em doesn’t have an official release per se, an import called Curtain Call: Hits will be dropping June 26th. Who wouldn’t want an album of Eminem hits, right? Em shares that date with DMX’s Undisputed and La Coka Nostra’s Masters Of the Dark Arts. Rewind some to the beginning of June, as Cam’ron’s More Gunz Less Buttah is still showing a release date of June 5th, along with a ton of other releases. There’s a lot to look forward to this summer.

its just an eminem hits album big deal but of course websites like this use it to get hits by listing it as a major release.
Curtain Call Hits Came Out In 2005, wtf is HipHopDX problem
Your List needs an urgent Update Folks!
Ashanti = June 24th
Chris Brown ….June as well
Why should Chris brown or Ashanti’s album releases be on a page titled “rap release dates”? Neither of them fit into that genre of music
IDIOT
^ did you actually read the article? he’s correcting the outdated dates that hiphopdx had for those artists. IDIOT
wtf eminem the hits? that came out already ya dum tards
so 1882, reks, slaughterhouse and chino xl the only ones actually worth mentioning from that list then
lol nobody gives a fuck about any of them, try listening to some good music faggot fuck.
French= Gold
Cam’ron= Gold
Wiz Khalifa= Platinum
50 Cents= Platinum
DMX= Platinum
Eminem= 5x Platinum
None of those albums will go gold. Fuck you mean?
French= Gold (you wish)
Cam’ron= Gold (in your dreams)
Wiz Khalifa= Platinum (now ur just fucking around)
50 Cent= Platinum (are you crazy?)
DMX= Platinum (its obvious that you’ve lost your damn mind)
Eminem= 5x Platinum (the only accurate thing in this post)
French= 250k
Cam’ron= 100k
Wiz Khalifa= Gold or platinum
50 Cents= Maybe gold
DMX= 150k
Eminem= 1.5 M
You all just trippin. None of these album will pass the 500.000 mark.
Em’s gonna sell 5 million copies of a hits album that came out like 7 years ago? Good luck with that. DMX album is gonna be fuckin awesome but it won’t sell. Put me down for one copy though.
More like
French – 80-110k
Cam’Ron – 50-75k
Wiz – 550-700k
50 – 350-550k
DMX – 40-80k
Eminem – doesn’t count as Curtain Call has been out forever
you forgot about chris brown getting ready for another million plus……
I wouldnt want an Eminem hits album because I have the actual cd’s.
Also, I knew they weren’t going to put Deltron Event 2 on this, coming out in July.
Been waitin on that Deltron Event 2 for a minute is the july release set in stone?
eminem is probably going to have new songs on this album thats all im excited for
Kid Koala said the release date as July 21 and Dan the Automator said this summer.
It also makes sense as a marketing standpoint for Del because if that Parallel Thought CD is dope it will roll right into Deltron Event 2
Add J. Dillas The Rebirth Of Detroit LP due May 25th already! For Ma Dukes sake!
RAP IS DEAD…NONE THOSE ALBUMS EVEN SPARK A SLIGHT INTEREST…FUCK NEW RAP
kill urself then
Nah he’s right all of these is pure garbage none of them is actually worth waiting for.
rap is dead TO YOU. you dont represent the views of anyone but yourself. get over yourself
Then get the fuck off of a Hip-Hop site you fool. If you’re not anticipating Big K.R.I.T., you’re not a real fan of hip-hop.
chino xl, nas, big K.R.I.T? Oh wait you probably just bandwagon jump on the fuck new rap I love tupac’s balls in my mouth
DX..on some real shit
PLEASE
GET
NEW
STAFF
That eminem cd was released in 2005!! What is this fuckery?!! What is up with this site these past 3 years? MY GOD
hahaha
+1
hahaha
lol so true
Are we in some sort of time loop? Curtain Call Hits? For real?
that eminem info seems suspect. he released ‘curtain call: the hits’ on 12/06/05 in the US. here’s the info:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curtain_Call:_The_Hits
DMX is gonna diss the shit out of Eminem for releasing some shit the same day he drops his.
haha you trolls trying to predict the first week sales. hahahahaa….. NUMBERS DONT JUSTIFY QUALITY. NOT IN HIPHOP. I aint mad at the sell out rappers tho. they cakin. record companies dont give a fuck about hiphop. they wanna make sure their artis cater to the skinny jean wearin, rainbow colored wearin, nerd glasses, pants saggin, swaaaaag sayin, fitted cap rokin, pussy ass bustas now a days. hiphop is weak. kendrick lamar absoul schoolboy q and asap rocky are the only hope we have. bringin that gangsta shit.
how come dx id the only site in the worrld reporting this alleged eminem release thar is 7 years old. im starting to think dx is a site by trolls for trolls
SMFH @ HHDX for using some random import re-issue of an old ass album as an attention-grabbing headline. Real journalism here.
nigga quit your bellyaching. people still lookin forward to it(because it’s eminem), therefore it counts
Only thing worth checking will be that O.C. and Apollo Brown album
O.C. and Apollo Brown came out today on iTunes. You need to peep that… straight fire
that eminem album will remind these kids who slim shady really is
I already pre-ordered Killer Mike’s album
Scarface and Nas this year as well. Gonna be good
What does it mean import? Is that like a re-release of Curtain Call?
no more like a compliation of his best hits, his noteworthy classics
Iandoli is dumb.
July 2 – 50 Cent Untitled
LMAO
whats the joke?
I’m guessing they’re gonna add some of his recent hits like “Love The Way You Lie,” Not Afraid”, and maybe “Beautiful.” Don’t get why they are doing this, but if they add some new Eminem songs then I’ll be curious to hear it
Some new remix/underground stuff i found on youtube.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=daEyxzhZ7KU&context=C42b46e6ADvjVQa1PpcFMhCLx0K-3BtnoqMyErxh712LYL8kpdD-k=
Chino XL still for May 1st?
Believe that when I see it.
umm…is this the same Curtain Call Hits Eminem already released back in 2005?
when they put Eminem’s image on their it had me thinking he was putting something new out
french montana on the same day as nas? fuck that fat boy, you cant go up against tha don
Where’s Detox?
Damn Eminem dropping some shit the same day DMX drops his. X is gonna diss the shit out of him for that.
“whats the joke?”
The album doesn’t have a title. Not sure why that’s funny, but maybe the poster was pointing out how Fif is always saying he’s recording new music, but never seems to have any concrete details. It’s always coming soon.
