Eminem has spoken of his dismay at finding out that songs from his forthcoming new album, 'Relapse', have leaked online.

One track, originally thought to be called 'Number One', leaked last week (December 7).

Speaking to Billboard.com, Eminem said he felt "really heated" after hearing that the track - which he named 'Crack A Bottle' - was online.

"It wasn't close to finished," he said, "and it even has me doing guide vocals for Dre as a suggestion of how he could lay his verses down. It's like someone catches you peeping in your window before you got the Spider Man costume all zipped up! Nobody is supposed to see that."

Eminem had previously confirmed that 'Relapse' is set to be released in early 2009.

Sorry that the song leaked. i hate it when people put stuff online that hasn't been finished. if we listened to all new albums half done then i doubt we'd ever buy them. chinese democracy may have been better half finished though, who knows!but get a move on Em, i honestly can't wait to hear you flowing again. the world fucking needs you!!

Eminem is a genius. Whether you dislike him or not, you can't fault his unique talent for lyrics. An incredible rapper with an ability that not many other people have. It's been said his new album will be closer to the likes of the Marshall LP, in which case I can't wait.On a seperate note to you DeMpZ23, i think you mean 'you're shit', not 'your shit'. Just a point to be noted, grammatical correctness looks better, even in the case of poorly attempted insults.

Correct Mark. Em is a genius. Flawed genius, but genius nonetheless. How can people like KnobRotZ23 dismiss him like that? He is an INNOVATOR you jerk off! go listen to the Wombats and diddle with yourself. you don't deserve to listen to people that might actually encourage you to think.
