Although there is still no clear indication about the Eminem's purported new album, rumors and reports continue to make their way on the web about the long-awaited project.

The rap god has not addressed the talks about his new music although he has not debunked reports about an album coming up either.

Early this year, Eminem commented on the suggestions that fans give him with regards to the name of his next album. The Detroit-born rapper only did purely for fun.

"I don't know why people have suggested I name my next album Empower or Empart... This has been said to me so many times over the years," the "Stan" hitmaker wrote.

"If I were to name an album with such a stupid play on my name it obviously should be called Empanada," he continued, teasing fans.

There have been a lot of reports about Eminem's upcoming album saying that the rapper is working on the project at the moment but he is lacking the inspiration to complete it.

Eminem has not been actively making music in the form of studio albums although he has been doing collaborations with both established and up-and-coming artists.

Snoop Dogg recently revealed that Dr. Dre wants to team up with him either for an album or a tour although it is more of a dream at the moment rather than reality.

Eminem recently paired up with Skylar Grey for her song "Kill For You." The singer said that the rapper helped her with the lyrics as well.

Artist Juicy J has also expressed interest to work with Eminem, calling it "a dream come true" and even referring to him as a "legend" during his interview with The Whoolywood Shuffle.

"If Eminem and Juicy do a record together, I think that would be some hot s—, cause I would like to go in and produce the beat. Like an old Three 6 Mafia style beat and we just do some s— over something like that, some '90s s—. I think that would be classic," the artist said.

The "Lose Yourself" rapper has also been making soundtrack for movies, the latest one he made was for the Jake Gyllenhaal film "Southpaw."

As far as a new album, his silence and the lack of concrete details suggest that it may not be coming soon.
