"Is Recovery just a name change of Relapse 2 with the same songs?"

Relapse 2 was supposed to be a straight sequal to Relapse; when he changed up the music, that's when he gave the album a different name

"Will Recovery have some tracks from Relapse 2?"
Hard to say

"Was Em working on Relapse 2 or Recovery all this time?"

He started change up the album around September

"Was Refill a shorter version of Relapse 2?"

I guess you could say so. It was supposed to be R2's best songs.

Why does everyone act like Relapse 2 has just been scrapped, it got scrapped in September? It's just the name thats been changed, which was always likely to happen.

All the big music sites are like he's scrapped "Relapse 2" to go in a new direction with Recovery.

Which is old news, except the name. Annoys me.

^^^I know. He announced the direction change at least five months ago.

Yes I believe we got the better portion of the R2 tracks on Refill when that came out...and I believe most of the Recovery tracks are new recordings especially the Jim Jonsin, Boi 1da and Khalil produced tracks...

i think that shows
changing the name was a very smart move

I honestly think it dawned on Eminem that his fans just weren't feeling the whole switched up Slim Shady theme throughout the album (despite it being like the second best selling album of 09).
Remember that Complex interview where he said he wasn't too sure about doing another poppy first single for R2?

I think Relapse 2 WAS going to be a continuation of Relapse....meaning more of the accented-nasal-high pitched-Arab 14 year old with a cold on THAT album. If you ask me, Recovery won't feature any of the tracks that were slated for R2.

Well, thats been common knowledge for months.

Why is everyone acting like this is incredible new information now? He's said that since fucking October.

Common sense?

I think that this what happened, based on all of the accounts, including the ones that were released when the name change came.

When he originally was recoridng for Relapse, he said he had recorded about 100 tracks, which to mean doesn't mean they were all finished (writing, recording, mastering, etc.). I think these could have included older tracks like the ones he did with TI when they recorded together, and also Insult to Injury and Keys to the City.

From those 100 tracks, he had enough to release two albums (obviously assuming that the tracks done were picked for 2 albums, though we know that may not be true as, for instance, 3am replaced what obviously should have been My Darling as the first song on Relapse-which may indicate they simply switched the songs OR that he was still recording and did 3am after the original "100 tracks").

After Relapse dropped, he was planning on releasing R2 with the material he had already recorded, but as time passed he started recording new material, and the new material he thought was better and/or decided if they were going to be on R2 then it didn't fit with the other songs already done. From there, he decided he was taking the album in different direction, started working with different producers and artists, and then decided that what was going to be on R2 was not going to anymore, which is why we got Refill.

After Refill dropped, and he had recorded enough for the album, he decided that it no longer fit the concept of Relapse, and therefore changed the name to Recovery.

I think that's a good timeline and explanation, anyone feel free to add/take away from I wrote, but I feel that's pretty much the general idea of what happened.

[MikeNUFC]

There, Emadyville has wrote what I couldnt be arsed to. I thought most Eminem fans knew this by now.

Well I think people who follow shit in this section do, some new members might not, or those who just don't visit here or read many topics. But yeah, I think my description is accurate
