Maino Says He Had 3 ‘Recovery’ Beats Before Eminem

by **Atone** » Sep 17th, '10, 18:28

Yesterday (September 15), Maino was the latest guest on XXL’s Spotlight Channel Live Ustream series.

The Brooklyn MC discussed his upcoming mixtape with DJ Drama, The Art of War, his appearance on the post VMA premiere of The World of Jenks, and also revealed that he had his hands on three of the beats that ended up on Eminem’s Recovery [Watch Below]. “I had three records on Em’s album,” explained Maino, before revealing that the tracks ultimately became “Not Afraid,” “25 to Life,” and “Talkin’ to Myself.”

“I recorded that in 2007,” he recalled of “Talkin’ to Myself.” “A lot of times, you record a lot of the album, you record a lot of music before you actually put the music out. What happens is, sometimes you don’t actually love everything you do. That particular record, I didn’t love my performance on it—to the point where I loved the hook, but I didn’t feel like I did it [justice]. I was gonna get back to it and redo it, but I had never done it.”

Kind of off topic...but has XXL given Recovery a review yet?

I remember when this story first broke... I guess this is what happens when you stop having all your production being handled in-house by Dr. Dre! Producers get desperate and dig up anything they can that's good enough to make the cut!
