In a recent interview, Intercope Chairman Jimmy Iovine talked about the decision to push back Dr. Dre, 50 Cent, and Eminem’s albums from the 4th quarter to 2009.
Iovine said Dre had to stop working on his own album to finish Eminem’s. Iovine added, “Eminem hit a streak, and when a guy like Eminem gets on fire, you stop everything. That’s how we lost Dre.”
Iovine gave some good news saying Dre should be finished with Eminem’s album by January and resume work on his own album.
Iovine is confident that Interscope will do fine this holiday season with the release of Soulja Boy’s “iSouljaBoyTellEm” and Keyshia Cole’s “A Different Me”.
