Talk:Recovery (Eminem album)

To be fixed when protection is removed

"The song features his rap group D12, Bizarre of D12 said the new song shows the groups strength despite losing Proof, who was the founder of the group. " ^There are two errors. First, the first comma creates a comma splice that must be removed (i.e., replace the comma with a period). Second, 'groups strength' should be 'group's strength'.

Fake Tracklist

Ok, an unconfirmed tracklist of an album due to be released in about 5 months, is probably fake.(it also contains many songs from fake tracklists of relapse 1).Bnvdarklord (talk) 10:03, 16 May 2009 (UTC)

People keep changing the tracklist, is there a way to lock the page? McKillaboy (talk) 15:07, 16 May 2009 (UTC)

Background

The two albums were recorded at the same time and actually were supposed to be one album, so as a matter of fact they have the same background. --DasallmächtigeJ (talk) 10:24, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

No, they actually are not. The Background section is suppose to indicate the events that immediately preceded the release of the album, hence it's called "background". On this article, the background should really be about the reception of the first of the two Relapse with whatever may come along with it. To be honest, there really very very little to write on this album at the current moment. Thanks, Do U(knome)? ^yes..._{or no} 12:31, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

Well, actually I thought that the background was about The personal things an artist went through while making the album and what convinced him to make it, but if you say so, then it seems I was mistaking. --DasallmächtigeJ (talk) 17:03, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

It seems that the album came out of the same recording sessions as Relapse, so maybe the background could be extended a bit to somehow mention that? Although there's nothing to really confirm that, other than Eminem's statement about him and Dre going back into the studio for six months, and even that doesn't exactly make it clear, as all the Relapse 2 songs could have been recorded after the stuff that winds up on Relapse. So yeah, probably best to leave it alone... ElijahReno (talk) 19:54, 28 March 2009 (UTC)

Guests

Please don't keep reverting the change on the guest . Check the sources and the links provided . Most mention of them working together but not on which album . Plus of the one mentioning Cashis working on the album . Cashis and D12 told they 'll be on Relapse but were not . 50 cent told he'll be all over Relapse but he was not . No word can be taken official until Eminem says it himself . Asid12345678 (talk) 14:34, 3 May 2010 (UTC)

Exactly. There's absolutely no f-ing way Lil Wayne, Drake, and Lloyd Banks are on the album. Heck, 50 Cent may be questionable at this point. I'd say the only feature to EXPECT would be Dre, as he's the executive producer and has had a verse on every Eminem album to date (except Infinite.) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Evan1989 (talk • contribs) 20:39, 2 May 2010 (UTC)

Even if the album carried a superscript 2 in the title, the article should still be named "Relapse 2". See other articles covering subjects with superscript numbers in their titles, such as Alien 3, Doom 3 and Postal 2. Digitelle (talk) 03:52, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

Dude one, this wasn't about the title. And two, Relapse: Refill is a re-release of Relapse why can't people understand this? It is NOT a NEW album. It IS an OLD album with NEW tracks. They are VERY different. A reissue (also known as a re-release or re-edition) is the repeated issue of a published work. In common usage it refers to an album which has been released at least once before and is released again, sometimes with alterations or additions.

Insult to Injury

There's a song called "Insult to Injury" on Relapse 2.

Also, this is probably not relevant enough for a mention, but according to producer Mark Batson (one of Dre's staff), the lead single for Relapse 2 is somewhat of a sequel to "The Real Slim Shady."

NEW SONG!

NEW SINGLE or just a song off Relapse 2???

The song is titled "The Warning", it's a diss towards Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon

Source is here: http://www.rapbasement.com/audio/eminem-ft-mariah-carey-the-warning.html --TheHalfbreed (talk) 23:52, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

Neither, or at least neither can be verified yet. I'm pretty sure it's just a song Eminem did on the side as a response to Nick Cannon's comments a couple of months ago. I wouldn't expect to see it on the album. Digitelle (talk) 00:06, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

• • Well i would agree with you. but the song Bagpipes from Baghdad was a dissing response towards Mariah Carey and was placed on Relapse. Later Carey released her response titled Obsessed and now Em releases this song. . . There was also previous dissing songs between the two and they were all on previous albums. So there may be a possibility that The Warning is on relapse 2. Just need to wait for the future to find out. --TheHalfbreed (talk) 06:36, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

Exactly, there may be a possibility. And was "Bagpipes from Baghdad" released long before the album? It's unsourced that it has anything to do with this album. I would maybe say that if he mentioned either Relapse or Relapse 2 in the song at all, it could maybe be included. But as of right now, there is nothing connecting this song to this album, so it's left out. --HELLØ ŦHERE 06:39, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

The difference between "The Warning" and "Bagpipes from Baghdad" is that "Bagpipes from Baghdad" was recorded during the sessions of Relapse and Relapse 2 (the sessions were held at the same time, but the songs are being compiled separately), whereas the content in "The Warning" deals with Nick Cannon's comments and Mariah Carey's latest music video, both of which happened much later after the principal album sessions took place.

Real Or Fake?Looks Real

Newest info I got people. Heres the link, doesnt mean its confirmed, just speculation

http://www.realraptalk.com/f3/eminem-relapse-2-tracklist-leak-893294/

Eminems new album Relapse 2 is set to be released on December 15th 2009, and is split into two acts, Sleep talking and Awakening. The first act is supposed to represent being blinded by anger, while the second act represents, as its title says, awakening. This is also the first album released by Eminem to not have any skits or joke songs. Eminem stated he wanted the album to be his strongest album, in case he decided Relapse 2 would be his last.

Tracklist

ACT I - Sleep Talking

1. With Shut Eyes 2. Norman Bates Motel (Feat. 50 cent) 3. A Poets Graveyard 4. Make It Wise 5. With In These Walls (Feat. Nate Dogg) 6. Sixth Sense 7. S.O.S (Sound Of Shady) 8. Haunted Nation (Feat. Snoop Dogg) 9. Insult To Injury 10. Spitters Symphony (Feat. D12)

ACT II - Awakening

11. The Ghost Of Shady's Past 12. Marshall's Chains 13. Detoxification (Feat. Dr.Dre) 14. Dreadful Sins 15. Sober (Feat. Amy Winehouse) 16. Flight Of The Dead 17. The Final Chapter 18. Gun Slinger (Feat. Royce Da 5'9) 19. Waking Up (Feat. Proof and Elton John)

The album will be out December 15th 2009, and be sure look for the first single "Make It Wise" sometime in November.

Two of which are Drake's Forever, and DJ Hero's Taking My Ball. the remaining 5 are leftover from the making of the original Relapse and Relapse 2.

Hit Me With Your Best Shot Ft D12

It's been almost two years since Detroit's D12 have collectively released an album. While 2008's Dirty Dozen was the group's first to showcase them without the marquee attraction of Eminem or their late co-founder Proof, Bizarre explained how the respective members have been using their time apart.

While on tour in Canada promoting his Friday Night At St. Andrew's album, Bizarre called in to the "Conspiracy Worldwide" radio show to address all things D12.

"We're still recording the third album, and we just finished a song on Relapse 2 for Marshall's album," Bizarre said via phone. Tentatively titled "Hit Me With Your Best Shot," Bizarre says the collaboration shows that despite major losses such as the death of co-founding member Proof, nothing can keep the group down.

"We're still family , but everybody's got their own situations going on," he added. "No matter what y'all do, you can't hold D12 down. We've been through a lot of shit, but we're still gonna come back and recover."

Album cover

The album cover is fake. It's a still from the "Beautiful" video. Someone please remove it.

No, it is sourced by a reliable source. SE KinG. ^{User page.} _Talk. 20:52, 29 April 2010 (UTC)

What reliable source?It's a photo from the annual Eminem calender , I can scan my calender as proof. Asid12345678 (talk) 19:43, 30 April 2010 (UTC)

It was posted by Rap-Up Magazine when "Not Afraid" was posted. Click on the cover and look at source. SE KinG. ^{User page.} _Talk. 19:45, 30 April 2010 (UTC)

Yes , and where does it confirm that it's the album cover . Rap Up is the same website that posted the fake Refill tracklist saying it was true . Since when did blogs like Rap Up become official sources sir. Asid12345678 (talk) 19:48, 30 April 2010 (UTC)

Here is a scan of my 2010 Eminem calender http://img39.imageshack.us/img39/369/13backcover.th.jpg . Please get a more reliable source next time .Asid12345678 (talk) 19:50, 30 April 2010 (UTC)

The "blogs are unreliable source" rule has loopholes. Rap-Up is one of them. Also Rap-Up did not post the Refill tracklisting, I just searched the archives. Since when can't an artist use a photo for a cover? Please do not argue unless you can back it up with a source, a calendar is not even a source. SE KinG. ^{User page.} _Talk. 06:55, 1 May 2010 (UTC)

And where does it mention that that is the official cover . Even smaller artists are give separate pages for official album covers . Forget smaller artists Eminem's Relapse had a separate page for the album cover.eg. Snoop dogg , Rihanna etc . Raprader which is co owned by Eminem's manager first told that might be the album cover and then deleted it .And since when did artists start using old photos as Album cover . Atleast Eminem doesn't do that . Asid12345678 (talk) 09:24, 1 May 2010 (UTC)

Your argument is still invalid. Your saying all these things without providing ANY kind of proof or sources. SE KinG. ^{User page.} _Talk. 19:10, 1 May 2010 (UTC)

Excuse me , YOU are the one you should provide proof here . Every person here is supporting me except you . Give us proof that Rap-up has written that it's the official cover of the album . Give us proof that Eminem has been using OLD pictures as album covers . Give us proof that Rap-Up has stopped making separate pages for covers of Anticipated Albums .In face Recovery was placed at the 2nd position at Rap=up in the most anticipated lists . Give us proof that why Eminem has not even put the album cover on his twitter or his own website like he did when Relapse's album cover was released . Please give us Proof . Asid12345678 (talk) 20:05, 1 May 2010 (UTC)

Who is supporting you? Your the only one arguing with me. I have posted the link where Rap-Up posted the cover and I provided the source on the image page. It doesn't matter if they didn't post it separate. They still posted it. The only thing you have provided is redundant explanations of original research and a picture of a calendar. I don't see how that makes you think your right. Stop arguing and find a source that says the cover posted is not official and I'll gladly drop my argument. SE KinG. ^{User page.} _Talk. 20:11, 1 May 2010 (UTC)

I was asked to join this discussion, but I'm actually not quite sure on which side I'll come down on. SE KinG is right that Rap-Up isn't just a blog, it's also a magazine, and the one time it was brought up at the noticeboard for reliable sources it was called reliable. However, I for one am not sure how much to trust their page. They are not audited, and they do get things wrong: a very recent error I remember is that they claimed Rihanna's "Rockstar 101" to be released as her fourth single, which turned out to be false (but MTV got that one wrong too, so ...).
Rap-Up has categorized the article as Album Covers, FWIW, and it's not necessarily an issue that the cover is based on a still from the video. Asid, do you have something further on the incorrect tracklist that you say came from Rap-Up? You said the image was circulating, can you point towards other sites where the image was brought up? I couldn't find any, only other fakes.
I've just added a disclaimer in the caption, to distance ourselves somewhat from the fact, and asked User:Kww for his opinion. Hopefully this will clear up over the next few days anyway.
Cheers, Amalthea 22:17, 1 May 2010 (UTC)

No where in that reference provided is stated that this image is the album cover of this album. Do U(knome)? ^yes..._{or no} 02:57, 2 May 2010 (UTC)

Agreed it says no where in the source that thats the cover. When did a picture next to something that mentions a song in the album become the cover. It could be a promotional poster. And plus it doesnt look like something Eminem would make his album cover. STAT- Verse 03:14, 2 May 2010 (UTC)

Exactly , since when did "rumored" covers started getting accepted on wikipedia . Raprapdar changed the image n the article as soon as they knew it was fake , they changed to some photo of Eminem performing so there's no way I can give any "proof" on that base but still just wait for 15-20 days when the tracklist and Cover are released through Em's twitter like it did last year during Relapse . Asid12345678 (talk) 04:51, 2 May 2010 (UTC)

For starters, Twitter is an unreliable source. And still NO ONE has provided anything besides original research to prove the album cover is fake. SE KinG. ^{User page.} _Talk. 05:46, 2 May 2010 (UTC)

For vetrans , Twitter can be considered a reliable source if the account is verified and the title of the artists album was announced on the twitter itself . Asid12345678 (talk) 06:27, 2 May 2010 (UTC)

No one uses Twitter as a reliable source. This argument is just being repeated points. Just because a picture was used before, it does not justify it to be removed. T.I. used the same picture for his singles "Hell of a Life" and "I'm Back", "Live in the Sky"'s single cover art was a desktop wallpaper that T.I. had on his website. So, just because an artist uses a picture once, doesn't mean they can't use it again. SE KinG. ^{User page.} _Talk. 03:19, 3 May 2010 (UTC)

An Album cover is Different from a Single Cover . Eminem too has been using old photo's as his Single cover including the recent single Not Afraid who's photo was circulating around for a few days .Also ,Hell Breaks Loose , Elevator , Just Lose It , Encore (the single) , Stan , The Way I Am . But then again , i was just doing what you did , repeating the facts you already know . An Album cover , specially by the Biggest Artist of our time makes news . Relapse's cover had a separate page on MTV .So , I'm surprised you didn't change the title of the album back to Relapse 2 because for the first 10 days until Eminem gave the radio interview , his twitter was the only way we knew about his Album's title as Recover but then again you'll say the twitter rule as loopholes right ? Weird how Rap-Up is the only website who wish to show the cover of Eminem's album anymore . Guess the man who has the highest selling Rap Album of this century and the highest selling Rap Album of 2009 is over . God Help Him . Asid12345678 (talk) 07:29, 3 May 2010 (UTC)

FWIW, a Twitter account of a singer can be used as a primary source, for facts where it is appropriate. But that doesn't help us here. Amalthea 10:13, 3 May 2010 (UTC)

Actually, the day he announced he changed his album title to Recovery, he also posted it on his website and MTV posted it. This argument is now redundant with the same thing being said. I'm done arguing, removing sourced content goes against Wiki policies. SE KinG. ^{User page.} _Talk. 12:07, 3 May 2010 (UTC)

Are you referring to me? I only talked about Twitter as a source in general, I'm not arguing against the cover image: I agree that it's coming from a reliable source, no other reliable source disputes it, so it passes WP:VERIFIABILITY. Since it hasn't been confirmed officially and I am somewhat suspicious, I added the disclaimer to explicitly say where it came from. Since nobody can offer anything beyond suspicions, I agree that we should keep it unless it can be shown as false. Amalthea 13:38, 3 May 2010 (UTC)

The reference for the mention of Recovery featuring Lil Wayne and Drake doesn't actually say that anywhere.
