To celebrate his 12 years of sobriety, let's take a look at 15 facts you might want to know about his comeback album, Recovery. As the title of the album suggests, Recovery provides a more personal approach musically.
It was released in , just two years after announcing his sobriety. Instead of releasing Relapse 2, Eminem took to Twitter to scrap the album. So, what happened to Relapse 2? He didn't like the response, so he didn't even put out the whole Relapse 2 that we did already. So it's like if he doesn't like the response, he can change it.
Premiered on April 29 on Shade 45, this freestyle was also an answer to Rick Ross' call to battle. Furthermore, Drake took Eminem to his Detroit Summer Sixteen show in to perform their powerhouse collaboration, Forever.

The album debuted at Number one on the U.
S Billboard , selling , copies in its first week and stayed at number one for seven non-consecutive weeks. It also peaked inside the top ten of several other countries and was the best-selling album of worldwide. By October , the album had sold approximately 10 million copies worldwide.
With sales of over 5 million in the United States and He collaborated with Lil Wayne for " No Love ". Four other unreleased songs from the album also charted on the US Billboard Hot Eminem released Relapse in to mixed critical reception. In a press release, he said that him and Dr. Dre recorded considerable amount of music while recording Relapse, saying, "putting out Relapse 2 will let everyone get all of the best stuff.
When premiering his debut single, "Not Afraid", Eminem also let listeners know that "there were not any skits on the album" so the album would contain more songs than his previous studio albums. He described a song titled "Insult to Injury", in which Eminem performs in his normal voice, as a sequel to "Underground," the final track from the previous album, Relapse.
Bizarre of D12 said the new song shows the group's strength despite the death of founder Proof by stating: "We're still family, but everybody's got their own situations going on," he added.
We've been through a lot of shit, but we're still gonna come back and recover. As for guests on the album, Eminem had said back while the album was still titled Relapse 2, he worked with both Dr. Dre and 50 Cent on the album. D12 , Royce da 5'9" , Lloyd Banks and Cashis had been speculated as possible features on the album.
However, none of these artists are actually featured; Recovery only featured guest appearances by rapper Lil Wayne and solo singers Kobe, Pink and Rihanna. He decided to include Pink on "Won't Back Down" after recording his parts first because he "felt like she would smash this record". DJ Whoo Kid heard some songs from the album and stated that "The Warning" is a diss record to Mariah Carey, and was not as intense as the entire album would be, saying the album is 'maniacal'.
Eminem appeared on Shade 45 with DJ Whoo Kid where he stated that a track with 50 Cent, in which the two rap together on verses, existed. He also confirmed both Just Blaze and Mr. Porter as producers of the album. Eminem, in an interview with Billboard, described that he was in "full-blown addiction" at the time of recording Encore, while he felt happy and "first got sober" during recording Relapse as he was no more an addict.
However, he felt that while recording Relapse, he was not "paying attention to what the average listener might like or not like. The album's artwork featured two covers: One with Eminem walking down a country road and another with him sitting in a transparent living room in the middle of Detroit with the Renaissance Center in the background. The album's liner featured pictures of Eminem such as a picture of him praying and him posing without a shirt on.
The album opens with "Cold Wind Blows" in which Eminem sings regarding his "doomed love for his ex-wife" and on "settling scores with rival celebs". Idolator commented that the song was based on the "dark days Eminem has lived through", and "he seems to be at peace with himself now. Jim Jonsin of MTV spoke about Eminem's two egos seen in the video and compared it to Alanis Morissette's "Ironic" video while Grey believed that the alternate Eminem who appears in the car is his subconscious.
The hip-hop ballad "Love The Way You Lie" describes a couple's refusal to separate despite having an abusive relationship. Rihanna sings the chorus again, backed by an electric guitar and a piano, while acoustic guitar, violin and pounding drums accompany Eminem's verses. The singing of Rihanna despite of being without vibrato, her voice "shows grief and regret".
Recovery was confirmed during a press release by Eminem's label on March 5, , and was originally titled Relapse 2. On April 13, , Eminem revealed through Twitter that Relapse 2 was scrapped. It was followed by him tweeting "Recovery" with a link to his website. Eminem said "I had originally planned for Relapse 2 to come out last year. But as I kept recording and working with new producers, the idea of a sequel to Relapse started to make less and less sense to me, and I wanted to make a completely new album.
The music on Recovery came out very different from Relapse, and I think it deserves its own title. The first single, "Not Afraid" was released on Shade 45 and has received free streaming on Eminem's website since then. The song sold , digital downloads in its first week, and became the sixteenth song in the history of the US Billboard Hot to debut at number one; it is only the second hip hop single to debut at number one following "I'll Be Missing You" by Puff Daddy and Faith Evans featuring Rolling Stone praised Eminem's commitment on his new music and lyrical ability noting "Over a dark, operatic beat, Eminem delivers rhymes that are typically acrobatic — and typically heavy-handed.
But the anger has a gathering quality. The song debuted at number two on the US Billboard Hot and later peaked number one.
It also claimed the top spot on over 20 other charts worldwide. The song became Eminem's best-selling single of all time, selling 9. Joseph Kahn directed the music video which premiered on August 5, The video starred Dominic Monaghan and Megan Fox in a love-hate relationship. Michael Menachem from Billboard commented that "Rihanna's chorus is exquisitely melodic and surprisingly hopeful, complementing the turmoil of Em's dark, introspective rant.
The song peaked number 23 on the Billboard Hot and stayed on the charts for 20 weeks. The video was about a young school boy who was bullied but had the urge to stand up after being motivated by listening to songs by Eminem and Lil Wayne. The video was slammed by British anti-violence campaigners. Eminem isn't thinking about the families affected. Recovery received generally positive reviews from music critics.
At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received an average score of 63, based on 28 reviews. Allmusic's David Jeffries praised Eminem's performance as potent and energetic, and said that the album "may be flawed Neil McCormick of The Daily Telegraph commended him for addressing more mature, introspective subject matter and successfully "framing his misogyny, homophobia and all-round bigotry with an undeniable sense of empathy and humanity.
Sean O'Neal of The A. Club felt that his lively raps make up for the "endless atonement metaphors" that occasionally weigh down the album. Kitty Empire, writing in The Observer, said that it is "better than average" as a "latterday Eminem album" that shows, "in bursts, Eminem's health is very nearly rude.
