This could be a false memory but I remember listening to the Brooklyn We Go Hard leak by Jay-Z online sometime back in late 08/09.

Around that same time, I discovered a version or leak of "Crack A Bottle" that was very clearly a Dr. Dre single but featuring Eminem and 50 Cent. Like a comeback of the "Three-Headed Monster" s*** or promo for Detox.

I stopped listening to it for a while and looking it up. Then, after some months, I hear the same damn song but it's now an Eminem single on Relapse featuring Dre and 50 and it sounds a little different.

Does anyone else remember this or is this another "Mandela effect?"

I doubt Dre was planning to make detox mid.

I think i know what you're talking about.

I know this is wrong because in 6th grade this song came out and my best friend came over playing it and saying "he's BACK"

And I had never listened to Eminem or rap in general lmao so I was just laughing at how excited my friend was

Back then was like limewire days so I had different versions of the song with different titles and cover arts

This Eminem is still undefeated. We need that comical smack talking shady back again.

Nah Crack a Bottle was always Ems comeback I think but it was definitely a return of the 3 headed monster

Wait isn’t it a 50 cent song

since it leaked there probably was some confusion around it

always was an Eminem song, as a kid i remember it debuting on Power 106 as Em's comeback song

it was indeed originally supposed to be a detox single. the leaked version has two dre reference verses and em says "the platinum duo" which was later changed to trio when 50 hopped on it.

Ah okay. I definitely misremembered then.
