Bobby Creekwater speaks on Eminem album

After appearing on several tracks on Shady Records' mixtape/album The Re-Up over a year ago, Bobby Creek has been seldom heard from. Recently, the Atlanta native with HipHopDX at the A3C festival to discuss his current situation at Shady Records:

“Everything¢s beautiful, man. Em¢s working on his next project, and everybody¢s getting¢ geared up for that. So everything¢s beautiful.” Creek continued, “I¢ll say this…everybody over at that label takes music seriously. They¢re perfectionists, and they understand that first impressions are everything. If our projects take a little longer than people would like, just know that we¢re making impactful [sic] music so we can make the impression we need to make. The music is going to be worth it for the fans – the wait will be worth it.”

The rapper spoke on his upcoming projects as well. “I¢m working on A Brilliant Mistake, Em is working on his LP, and we¢re having talks about possibly doing a ¡Re-Up 2.¢ My mixtape series Anthem 2 Da Streetz…volume 3 [is] coming out soon, sooner than everything else. Shady Records, we got a lot comin¢. I can¢t speak on everything because I don¢t want to spoil the movie for ya¢ll – this is a motion picture. There¢s a lot to look forward to. D12, they¢re working. Obie [Trice], he¢s working. We¢re all working.” As for a release date for his album, Creek offered only that the label is "pushing for a...fall release."

Finally, Bobby Creek addressed rumors about label head Eminem's supposed massive weight gain. “[There] must be two [Eminems], because the Em I just saw is in perfectly good shape. [i] saw him recently playing a pickup basketball game, so I don¢t know much about the 250-pound Em; I missed that, I didn¢t see that guy. No truth to those rumors whatsoever.”

“He¢s focused, basically," said Creek of Eminem. "He understands he¢s been away for a while, and that he¢s got to come back that much harder. He¢s focused – 110 percent. Y¢all should expect that; he¢s been away for a while, and he¢s got a statement to make.”
