During the recording period, a handful of songs intended for Relapse were on the Internet.Eminem purchased the Effigy Studio in, in 2007, and ended his working relationship with much of his former production team of the 54 Sound, including the Bass Brothers. In September 2007, Dr. Dre stated his intention to dedicate two months to the production of Relapse.

Over time, however, critical and fan reception towards Relapse has changed, with many praising the 'dark and disturbing' aspect and emotional depth of some songs. The album won for and (for 'Crack a Bottle').
Relapse has gained a and is often celebrated by fans and critics as one of Eminem's best albums and one of the greatest albums. Contents.Background After releasing in 2004, Eminem planned to take some time off from recording his own music to become a for other rap acts, especially for the artists signed on his own label Shady Records.
However, Eminem entered his hiatus after cancelling the European leg of the in the summer of 2005 because of exhaustion and an addiction to prescription sleeping drugs. In the following year, the rapper's remarriage to his former wife Kimberly Scott lasted only eleven weeks before a second divorce, while his best friend and fellow rapper was later shot and killed during an altercation outside a nightclub. Devastated, Eminem relapsed into and became increasingly reclusive. In a June 2009 interview for, Eminem elaborated on the impact of Proof's death on him, stating:'Everyone felt Proof's loss, from his kids, to his wife, to everyone. But, for some reason, in hindsight, the way I felt was almost like it happened to just me.
Maybe at the time I was a little bit selfish with it. I think it kind of hit me so hard.
It just blindsided me. I just went into such a dark place that, with everything, the drugs, my thoughts, everything.
And the more drugs I consumed, and it was all depressants I was taking, the more depressed I became, the more self-loathing I became.' Speculation on an upcoming album by Eminem was reported since mid–2007 from announcements made by artists and, former members of Shady Records. Also, rapper – a member of the hip hop group – stated that the release of the group's third studio album was on hold because wanted to release Eminem's album first. By the end of the year, additional musicians associated with Shady Records – including, and – had confirmed on different occasions that the rapper was effectively working on a new album. On September 12, 2007, during a call at the radio station Hot 97, Eminem stated that he was in limbo and was not sure whether he would release any new material in the near future. He then elaborated that at that point he was constantly working in the recording studio and had come to terms with his personal issues.
However, in December 2007, he was hospitalized because of an of. In early 2008, he began a to recover from his addiction; in a later interview, he said he has been sober since April 20, 2008. Recording Eminem had continued recording throughout 2005, and released most of this work on his Shady Records compilation album. He also recorded the track 'Beautiful' in late 2007, which would later become the fifth and final single on Relapse, and also one of the only songs on the entire album in which Eminem recorded when he wasn't sober.
Eminem began the major recording stages of Relapse in mid-2008, after completing a to control his drug addiction. And long-time Detroit collaborator Jeff Bass of the worked with Eminem on 25 tracks, two years after the rapper had received treatment for his sleeping pill addiction in 2005. Depressed by Proof's death, Eminem fell into a period of ', where he felt everything he wrote was not worth recording.
To compensate for this, Bass chose to follow a production style that would allow the artist to rap 'off the top of his head, as opposed to writing a story'. Eminem would then or record vocals one line at a time before interrupting and then recording another line. At the same time, according to Eminem's song rights supervisor Joel Martin, the rapper began to collect additional songs without noticing it. He would often record or produce material initially intended for the musical projects of other artists, but end up with tracks he really liked.Eminem purchased the Effigy Studio in, in 2007, and ended his working relationship with much of his former production team of the 54 Sound, including the Bass Brothers. In September 2007, Dr. Dre stated his intention to dedicate two months to the production of Relapse. Working with Dr.
Dre allowed Eminem to concentrate on the processes of songwriting rather than the production, which was largely taken care of by Dre. The rapper justified his choice of using Dr. Dre for the vast majority of the production due to their long collaborative history and a musical 'chemistry' only he and Dr. This allowed the rapper to pick the from Dr. Dre's catalog that challenged him -wise to experiment with different. The making of the album progressed at the Effigy Studio up to a year after, as recording sessions were then moved to in September 2008.
By then, Eminem had begun to start writing verses again at such a pace that he often took more time to record the lyrics than write them. He credited for his new creative run, acknowledging that his mind was free of the clutter that 'blocked' him during his drug abuse in the last years. Dre would start the song-writing process by giving a number of his beats on a CD to Eminem, who in a separate room in the studio would listen and select the ones he preferred and inspired him the most. Eminem would then write lyrics to the instrumentals, while Dr. Dre and his production staff continued to create new music. Once he felt he had written lyrics for enough songs, Eminem would dedicate an entire day to record his songs to the point that he would lose his voice for the following days. At that point, the rapper would then begin to write lyrics for new songs.
The process continued for the next six months and allowed Eminem to have enough material for a second album, initially called Relapse 2, which became.During this recording period, a handful of songs intended for Relapse were on the Internet, including an incomplete version of '. The song was finished in January 2009 and featured vocals from Dr. Dre and 50 Cent. Despite the leak, the album was being completed in a state of near-total secrecy, according to the British newspaper. Even, the multinational owner of Interscope, had no information on the album at the time. On April 23, Eminem suggested he and possibly Dr.
Dre were the only ones in possession of the final copy of Relapse; his manager added that even Eminem's record labels were not in possession of the music less than a month before its release to prevent possible. Music and lyrics. 'Released: December 15, 2009. 'Released: December 15, 2009. 'Released: December 21, 2009Because Eminem recorded far more material than he could use for one album and felt that he had to offer his fans more music after staying on hiatus for so long, fellow D12 member Swift confirmed that Eminem in fact had planned to put out two albums the same year, following with Relapse 2, in late 2009.
According to Angela Yee's interview with Eminem on April 23, 2009, Relapse 2 was to be a continuation of Relapse. During the interview, Eminem confirmed: 'It's extremely close to being finished, it just depends on how many songs I want to put on it.' Eminem also explained the album was more 'emotionally driven' than Relapse, which was, as he explains, 'just rap records'. Guest appearances were expected to come from the likes of,.
The album was subsequently pushed back for an early 2010 release, so Eminem decided to re-release Relapse as Relapse: Refill, which includes a bonus disc featuring seven new tracks, including the single ' (originally on ) and 'Taking My Ball' (released with ), as well as five previously unreleased tracks. On its re-release, Eminem stated: 'I want to deliver more material for the fans this year like I originally planned. Hopefully these tracks on The Refill will tide the fans over until we put out Relapse 2 next year.' On April 13, 2010, Eminem tweeted 'There is no Relapse 2', thus announcing that the album has been scrapped in favor of his new project.
While recording Relapse 2 and witnessing the mixed reaction of its predecessor among fans and critics alike, Eminem decided to throw away most of the recorded material and started from scratch. The result did not seem to him as continuation of Relapse but more of an individual project that deserved its own name. 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 now-renamed album debuted at number 1 on the US chart, with first-week sales of 741,000 copies in the United States.
As of September 25, 2011, the album had sold 4,040,000 copies in the United States and was also the best-selling album of 2010 worldwide, earning a for. Relapse: RefillNo.TitleWriter(s)Producer(s)Length1.'
' (with, and ). Eminem performing in support of Relapse in 2009.On his following album (2010), Eminem made reference to Relapse and criticizes it in the second verse of the song ': 'In fact, let's be honest/That last Relapse CD was 'ehh'/ Perhaps I ran them accents into the ground/ Relax, I ain't going back to that now'.He slowed down his feelings about the album after that saying 'I don’t hate Relapse. I don’t hate it at all, but when I’m looking back at an album I do have a tendency, and especially with that album, to run things into the ground. That was one of those instances where I got in a zone, like, 'Yo I just want to be this demented serial killer on this album. And part of that was a growing process to get to Recovery, working through those steps, relearning how to rap, and relearning where I need to be at.' He reiterates this statement during his 2013 Q&A with saying 'I don't hate the record. I want to rap and be able to always try to do my best lyrically, but at the same time find the right balance between that and making the right songs.
And you know, I don't know if I necessarily found that balance yet, because I was just getting sober and just kind of finding my feet again and so there was a lot of songs that were just like 'Ha ha this is funny!' You know, walking around and joking around with your friends and shit and it ends up on the record and you're laughing about it.
Because when I got sober it was like – I've said this before – but it just was like 'Oh shit! I can think straight again!' So I don't know if that record was particularly my best work as far as songs, writing songs that felt like something, that brought some kind of emotion. I ran accents into the grounds. I got stuck on that kind of serial killer, crazy vibe and just kind of went with it.In 2013, Eminem also addressed the mindstate he had while working on 2009's Relapse saying: 'It was interesting, man. I don't know if before Relapse, if we're talking the album and pre-signing with Dre and all that, from that point on, I don't know if I ever did anything or did much sober at all.
Relapse was the first album and first recordings that I did when the lights went on and I was sober. I was still trying to figure things out.It's interesting. I had a fun time.' And reiterated his feeling about the album 'I felt Relapse was, I don't know.
I don't know if people know what I really had to go through to be able to make Relapse and to be able to write again and to be able to think again and just normal everyday bodily functions and functions in my mind. I don't want to say I wasn't in a place to record again, but I needed time. I needed time to be able to figure out things. I wanted to be able to make my songs feel like something again. I know a lot of stuff on Relapse was comical and funny punchline jokes, but a lot of the songs didn't really feel like anything. I had to go back and listen to some of my older music to try to figure out what I was doing wrong.
Once I felt like I figured that out, I started making songs that felt like something again.' About the accents he used on the album: 'I recorded at least 50 to 60 songs for that album and on each one I would get a little more drastic with the accents, trying to bend the words and make them rhyme in ways they wouldn’t if you just said them regular.
It was this gradual thing and I didn’t even realize how accent-heavy the album got. Paul Rosenberg didn’t realize it either until he went and played the music for somebody at Interscope and they were like, “Why is he doing all those accents?” So yeah, I don't know how much replay value that album has.' He reitrates his statement in 2018: 'I have made albums that definitely, probably would not be at the top of my list — Encore, Relapse — which I believe Encore is a better album than Relapse. Relapse is something I went back to and cringed at.
Like, ‘Jesus Christ, I didn’t realize I was doing that many accents.' On his album (2017), Eminem also made references to Relapse especially on the closing song Arose: 'I'm 'bout to, like a rematch, outdo Relapse/ With Recovery, Mathers LP2/ Help propel me to victory laps/ Gas toward 'em and fast forward the past'.

EMinem's Relapse AlbumWell this album considering it is made in 2009 is very good. It's also Eminem, but that is not the real reason. I personally think the album isn't as bad as people say, but you can't compare it to his previous that it is not so sophisticated. I bought it because I was curious what exactly it will be like. After all he came back after 5 years with an album.Songs that I personally liked:5 star songs: My Mom, Same Song and Dance, We Made you4.5 star songs: Crack a Bottle, Stay Wide Awake.4 star songs: Bagpipes from Baghdad, Hello, Medicine Ball, Old Time's Sake. Relapse-Good Album for a Return.Eminem always has great material.I have all his other CDs,so I wanted to get this one also.Was not disappointed.Eminem's rap style flows thru these songs.Smooth and lyrical,with enough of the Slim Shady attitude.His rap style and voice are just so unique.Almost every song is about drugs,killing,sex,violence,etc.
So this will not be for everyone.But Eminem fans already know this,so they will enjoy this.Not as good an album as his earlier ones,but I could not stop listening to it none the less.Dr. Dre producing this album is as rock solid as always.Eminem,Slim Shady,Marshall Mathers,what ever you want to call him,had alot of demons it seems like to excise in this album.Recommended listening.Welcome back,here's to many more. EMINEM RULESHEY ALL YOU CRAZY EMINEM FANS OUT THERE. I'VE BEEN A FAN SINCE DAY ONE. EVEN HAVE A TATTOO ON MY WRIST SHOW CASING MY LOVE FOR HIS MUSIC. HIS MUSIC HAS SAVED MY LIFE SEVERAL TIMES OVER. I READ AN INTERVIEW EM HAD IN ROLLING STONE.
I SEEN THAT THIS YEAR ON TOUR WOULD BE THE FIRST TOUR HE DID EVER SOBER. MANY OF THE SONGS HE DID ON THE LAST COUPLE CDS LIKE THIS ONE AND THE ONE IN 2004 HE WAS HIGH. I'M GLAD HE GOT HIS LIFE BACK IN ORDER AND CAME BACK TO THE STUDIO WITH A NEW CD.
HE IS OVER 2 YRS. SOBER AND I'M 9 1/2 MONTHS SOBER. LIKE I SAID HIS MUSIC SAVED ME SEVERAL TIMES OVER. BUT HE DIDN'T JUST MAKE A COME BACK. HE CAME BACK WITH A BANG!! THIS CD IS NOT LIKE THE EM WE KNOW.
YOU WOULDN'T BE THE SAME IF YOU WERE HIGH EITHER, BUT IT WAS STILL GOOD.MY FAVORITE SONGS ARE3AM, WE MADE YOU, O LD TIME'S SAKE, DEJA VU, BEAUTIFUL, AND UNDERGROUNDIF YOU LIKE EM AND ARE THINKING ABOUT GETTING THIS CD, GO BUY IT. One of a KindFinally, Eminem has brought back the skill that made him popular and legendary in the first place. Relapse deserves much respect from the general public because of its authenticity and re-invention of the most talented hip-hop artist onthe planet. Giving an insight to his unfortunate drug addiction, Slim lucidly illustrates his hiatus and subsequent return to the mic.
The opening banger, 3 A.M., slashes and proves Em's diversity amongst other rappers. The next track Insane, shows Shady speaking about some unusual subject matter, but nonetheless, rides the best beat onthe entire album produced by Dre. Bagpipes from Baghdad throws shots at some other celebrities, but still fascinates. Other notables like Must be the Ganja, Old Time's Sake and Stay Wide Awake describe his versatlity, e specially the latter as that might just be his most talented wordplay ever expressed by Em. However, songs like Hello, Medicine Ball seem not to fit the dark and ravenous album. Also, the finale track Undergound seems totally forced, like his heart wasn't into it - like he did it just to appease his fans that expect a hard-core track as the album's closer.
All-in-all, Relapse is worth owning. His long-awaited departure from the limelight only made us yearn for his presence more and more. And he definetly delivered!
