Well, well, well, would you look at the calendar: It's December already, which means it's just about time for Complex's December/January 2009 issue! And how better to take us into the next decade than the man who came back strong in 2009, Marshall motherfuckin' Mathers a.k.a. Eminem. You already know he's got two bangers on deck—this month's Relapse: The Refill, which features seven new tracks originally slated to be on Relapse 2, and then the full-fledged sequel album next year. We took a trip to the D (ayo!) to spend some time with the sober, streamlined Em, and came away knowing that hip-hop has no idea what it's in for. Click on for a crazy behind-the-scenes video of the photo shoot and the creation of the CGI cover above (huge shout to the wizards at Digital Fusion for that one), as well as a link to the full cover story. And don't ever say we don't take care of you—this issue's not hitting newsstands until December 8, so consider this an early holiday gift.
Oh, and because this is Complex cover week, don't forget that tomorrow we've got our flipside cover that shows off the sexy side of Complex. Stay tuned!

An awesome interview only Complex can pull off. Felt like it could have contained some information on the upcoming album, but that's for rap magazines to cover.

Dope cover and cool interview. But you should've asked him if he plans to do a song with fellow Dre protoge Bishop Lamont.

Why would you ever ask him that? !) Who fucking cares.

Are you Bishop Lamont's weed carrier?
Tau December 3rd, 2009 at 12:34 PM

no other magazine or website can touch that interview and those photos. Eminem looks just as good there as he did in 1999 and it sounds like he is in an even better zone. These Eminem haters that exist are gonna need to find a new hobby when Relapse 2 drops by the sound of it.
