plus I think that's what cashis or someone else "named" it and they just then referred to it as that...or am i wrong?

Indeed

I like the name just because it gives us a name to call those era of songs.

''King Mathers'' was confirmed as the official name of the album back then... it did come from Cashis calling EM that way though. EM called Cashis ''Loose Cannon'' because Cashis was crazy and unpredictable & Cashis called EM ''King Mathers'' because apparently he was on top of the biggest hip-hop movement of all time at the time. They kept calling each other that way & they decided to call their then next albums that way too... & they did. It wasn't about nuts grabbing or cockiness of any kind.
People bought that EM wasn't able to write & record from like after ''The Eminem show'' all the way to ''Relapse''. I agree there were some moments he couldn't do it in this period of time & of course at some point it went crazy & he couldn't do it at all for like a couple of months or so tops, but that's it and that's all. Basically marketing ''Recovery'' supposed to be like... "Encore'' was shit, ''Relapse'' was ehh because I was so down & coming up, but now I'm back & brand new.
''Be careful what you wish for'' & ''My darling'' are definitely recorded in the so called ''King Mathers'' era as many other songs... on top of my head ''Syllables'' & ''Beautiful''. EM said a few times ''Beautiful'' is the only song on ''Relapse'' that was from that older batch.
It's important for people to know that ''Relapse 2'' did not turn into ''Recovery'' as ''Relapse 2'' wasn't a sequel album. ''Relapse'' & ''Relapse 2'' were written, recorded & handed to Interscope TOGETHER as two albums, it wasn't like EM finished ''Relapse'' & then started to work on ''Relapse 2''. Dre & EM started to work on that batch in LA & then went to Florida to escape from the media but EM was on a roll so they recorded as many songs for at least two albums. If ''Relapse'' was received & sold better then we'd have had ''Relapse 2'' as well. ''Relapse'' got stuck on a mill & a half though while Jay's & BEP's albums leap-frogged it & were chasing 2 mills already so Interscope decided to re-release the album with songs from ''Relapse 2'' rather than releasing the new one. It did work numbers wise as ''The Refill'' leap-frogged back Jay's & BEP's albums & went multi-plat at 2 mills but it was cheap shot overall. The only good & logical reason would be there was no space for ''Relapse 2'' as ''Recovery'' was coming way better so they were pushing it ahead but IMO if ''Relapse 2'' dropped when ''The Refill'' dropped & if ''Recovery'' dropped with like 2 months later than it dropped there would've had space for all 3 albums, & ''Relapse 2'' would have still dragged ''Relapse'' up to multi-plat status & most of it would've made people really get what that batch was all about. They planned it for 2 albums so just one of them was not complete material wise, which kinda fucked it up so people couldn't see how genius that batch was.

^ all i gotta say homie is i love every song on refill and relapse was meh was lyrically insane, it had a few great great tracks imo but yeah i think if we got relapse 2 (if what you're saying is completely accurate) then we'd of all loved it

recovery was good cuz it s eminem, but the thing to me is that the production sucks exept a hand full tracks.
my only fuckin wish is: ''eminem git back on dr dre beats and ya own beats (mr porter & boi1da)'' that s all
I know a king mathers album produced by em and dre would be so much more than a recovery album from 2010
