Where would Eminem be if he released Relapse 2?

No one knows

He would probably sell around 450k-500k and lose a good chunk of mainstream popularity thus causing him to create Recovery about 2 years later than he did.

Everything would've moved a year ahead. Nothing spectacular would've happened, I fear.

wouldnt have become the most liked person on facebook.
wouldnt be having more than 1 billion views on youtube.
wouldnt be having the biggest selling album of the year.
wouldnt be in the top celebrity list of most no of followers on twitter.

dayum. even if i love relapse so much and crave for relapse 2 every moment of my life i think recovery IS one of the most important album in Ems career. people here seem to hate it a lot tho.

Relapse 2 wouldn't have done anything good to his carreer?

i never said relapse 2 wouldnt have did anything good. infact i like relapse more than recovery but Em needed recovery to get back on the lime light. and it seems it did its job.

[Sam.]

He said Relapse 2 would be more emotional. No way they could have been similar in any aspect. And by "Emotion", it doesn't mean aggravating everything he said in Relapse. It could have had a different theme all together.

[infinite2hts]

what if recovery IS relapse 2.

[BigBoss]

R2 would've been the Refill songs plus Cocaine, then stuff similar to the airplanes pt 2 verse and his My Life parts.

[Sam.]

Debatable. Nothing can be said. But Cocaine spells the story differently. It's definitely part of Relapse 2, and sometimes I feel that it's the corner that turned Eminem towards Recovery.

[BigBoss]

Dude cocaine was fuckin great imo. It would've been way fuckin better than NA if he perfected it

[infinite2hts]

i think initially relapse 2 was refill and some more relapse esque tracks which are still in his studio. Then when negative response started coming in he dumped the the accents and recorded on fire, ridaz, cocaine, fly away and gave birth to recovery after a year long pregnancy.

[BigBoss]

Basically ^

[python]

RELAPSE 2 was Refill + Cocaine, Oh No, and Things Get Worse.

[PAINKILLƎR]

Cocaine + Forever = Formula for Recovery.

Did I blow your minds?

no, you didn't
