Figure'd I'd start a new thread for Eminem's new album since Relapse 2 has been scrapped.

The first single off of the album is the Boi-1da produced track "Not Afraid". It was released earlier today. I think it's phenomenal, it shows a completely new side of Em. It sounds so different to hear him on a beat not produced by himself, Denaun Porter, or Dr. Dre.. I love it. The beat is tight and the lyrics are really meaningful. I hope the rest of the album delivers like this has.

I still really enjoyed Relapse. I think this is a positive step in the new direction for him musically. I'm really anticipating the new CD now.

can anyone find a link to it? The youtube page has a bunch of fakes

Is it confirmed that Relapse 2 was scrapped? When I read about it a while back it wasn't clear if he scrapped everything from Relapse 2 or simply renamed the album (with all or most of the same material) Recovery.

I guess I don't know for sure but am taking a guess. It could be possible that some of the Relapse 2 stuff was what we got with the Relapse: Refill release and maybe if there was leftover material they put it on this new album. Don't know but it seems possible to me.

i read that he has officially dropped the accent, which makes me happy, cause i couldn't stand it

Found it on YouTube. Not bad

Despicable was a freestyle so I didn't expect that to be on the album.

The Relapse: Refill CD was leftover material from the Relapse recording sessions. Recovery contains none of that, as well as no material from the now-scrapped Relapse 2. Em even says he was disappointed in the final outcome of Relapse in his new single.

Rypro 525

damn both songs sound great. Can't wait for "Recovery". I'm actually surprised that he didn't do a more poppy song as the first single that he usually does

kstublen

I really like the album artwork. Simple and effective. The single is pretty good too; I like when Eminem is more serious and introspective...he's far more effective that way.

I don't think he scrapped the songs he recorded for Relapse 2, and I haven't heard anything to suggest that he recorded the entirety of Relapse 2 and then threw out all the songs. I think he realized as he was recording material for Relapse 2 that it was really different from Relapse and that the different tone and material warranted a change in album title. He may have thrown out a couple songs (all artists do), but I don't think the entire tracklist was scrapped, but instead the title was just changed to more accurately reflect the music.

Ugh, love the lyrics and flow from em as usual but that beat on Not Afraid is incredibly generic and dull.

FantasticVSDoom

Heard the song on the last ep of Mayweather-Mosley and really liked it... Looks like that sill quick shit is through.

Michael T Hudson

Just heard it on the show as well. The best song I have heard from him in years.

The Ferret

Agreed.

redrum

having Boi-1da do the single instead of Dre or Just Blaze was pretty dumb

RyoHazuki

That chorus is brutally corny. Em really needs to stop doing those for himself and pay someone to do them.

Won't Back Down featuring P!nk leaked today. Very different sounding tune, but after a couple of listens I'm digging it. This will definitely be his most diverse album yet.

redrum

Just Blaze sampled "What Is Love" lmao

Throwing Copper

Liking what I'm hearing so far, this will be a purchase for me when it comes out.


Is everyone listening to it in 128 kbps, which isn't good???

That's the only one I could find.


Thanks

Rypro 525

yes, its 128. sounds fine to me. a higher quality version will prob leak within the next few days/weeks

Daryl

The rhymes and flow get an A+.
Overall, the fucking hooks/choruses get a D-, and that's being generous.

redrum

yep
