[Sofi]

Eminem: Hey Steve have you managed to listen to the album yet?

Steve Berman: What the fuck do you think your doing? I don't wanna listen to how your step-father rapes you, or how you chop up your cousin and sit in his bath of blood. I'm tired of this shit

Eminem: But Steve, there are two CD's

Steve: Let me guess, more stories about Kim Kardashian, more songs about you killing and raping. Kill, rape, kill, rape thats all I seem to hear.

Eminem: No its actually kinda different its...

Steve: ... What, more accents? Shut the fuck up, and don't ever call me on this number again

Eminem: But Steve the 2nd CD is kinda...

Steve: Goodbye (slams down phone)

Eminem: Alright, whatever man

...then the album carrys on, more serious songs, better content and no accents. There

(p.s - i know that bit of dialouge is crap lol, but its just to give you a general idea)

I agree that a name change isn't necessary but that doesn't mean it isn't the better move.

Sure he could get away with calling it Relapse 2 or find a way to interlink them. But I wish he would change the name. It'll probably remain Relapse 2 due to marketing and the label wanting to eat off of the 1st album's success by means of a continum.

But, given the apparent stark nature of the new tracks and total fresh vibe / zone... I think it's just a wasted opportunity to just call it that.

This is shaping up, purely from inside speculation, his lyrical space right now, reaction and his own talks on the album - To be possibly his best. And from what Mr. Porter said, possibly one of the best fucking hip-hop albums period.

So lets not squabble about whether we can trust all of that and it's not just hype and yada yada, lets just imagine this album really is that good. Lets imagine this thing is a masterpiece.

How fucking lame will it be to have such a masterpiece and the best in his collection called Relapse 2. Or anything #2. It's lame anyway to have #2's with albums, like it's a fucking blockbuster movie. Would of worked with the original tracks as they're so utterly similar in tone and feel.

But he could give this a truly fitting name and make it much more memorable in rap history. It's just lazy and pointless to call it Relapse 2 at this point. IMO.

I dont think this album is going to be as legendary as everyone is making it out to be.

Look how much high hopes everyone had for refill, and those songs were decent at best, besides buffalo bill...that was classic

Anyways, if this album is as legendary as its being made out to be, a name change might not be such a good thing. BUT, if a name change were in order, I think relapse 2 should have been released with all the scrapped material and not just a refill album with 5 songs. ya know? His intentions was to release relapse 2 as all the other stuff recorded.... If he changes the name and makes a new album...then relapse 2 should STILL be all the stuff that got scrapped. And drop a Third album which is crazy dope.

They could call it.

Crazy Dope

[uklerddd]

i think it should definately be changed but maybe keep the theme of starting it with RE. we've had the re-up,relapse,refill. i like the sound of the REhearsal but its kinda the old theme of TES,encore,curtain call and he seems to have left that theme.

theres loads it could be if he goes with the RE theme other than relapse 2

one i thought of which sounded gud was the REsurrection maybe have something to with the sslp and mmlp on the album cover.
others i liked wer
REcovery
REhab
REentry(or RE-Emtry)?????
REload
REvenge
REvival
RE-EMpact
or jus go for something funny like the REmedial lol(noooot)
how bout KING MATHERS:the REign
n lets say this album is still called relapse 2 n its completely shit(it wont be) but if it is he could do a refill style where he re-releases it n call it relapse 2:REgret haha

A name change isn't totally necessary tbh, even if the songs are on a totally different vibe to Relapse. All it takes is a bit of creativity in the albums intro, and then it can work

For instance all he has to do is make a new intro skit, and say something on it similiar to what he has said in recent interiews, regarding how Relapse was more punchline/jokey and this album (Relapse 2) is more serious. I don't know how exactly to word it, but could maybe be a phone call from that Steve Berman guy - remember there was a skit on Relapse when he was in Steve Berman's office, handed over 2 CD's and then he told him to get out of the office. The intro skit for Relapse 2 could be Eminem phoning Steve Berman and a conversation like

Eminem: Hey Steve have you managed to listen to the album yet?

Steve Berman: What the fuck do you think your doing? I don't wanna listen to how your step-father rapes you, or how you chop up your cousin and sit in his bath of blood. I'm tired of this shit

Eminem: But Steve, there are two CD's

Steve: Let me guess, more stories about Kim Kardashian, more songs about you killing and raping. Kill, rape, kill, rape thats all I seem to hear.

Eminem: No its actually kinda different its...

Steve: ... What, more accents? Shut the fuck up, and don't ever call me on this number again

Eminem: But Steve the 2nd CD is kinda...

Steve: Goodbye (slams down phone)

Eminem: Alright, whatever man

...then the album carrys on, more serious songs, better content and no accents. There

(p.s - i know that bit of dialouge is crap lol, but its just to give you a general idea)

I like this idea D

I don't think it will be called relapse two.

[Timekeeper]

And if it isnt relapse, I could see it being something like "Recovery" or whatever. As if the relapse is done and now hes recovering, to play along with the real life story.
