    Possibly an unreleased ‘Recovery’ track. No info yet, but Em delivers as usual.

    1. what happened to eminem lol? i can’t be the only one who thinks he fell off since 2000.

      I’m sorry but 85% of the eminem songs since 2000 is trash.

      1. he fell pretty hard after Eminem Show, each album since have a few solid tracks but the product as a whole just isn’t on the same level as his first 3 records.

        There were about 7-8 tracks off relapse, the bonus cuts, and refill that are really good, but they’re not for a wide audience, they’re hardcore.

        Time will tell if he ever manages to put together a really great cd again.

      2. pre-encore eminem was way better than today’s eminem for sure. it just doesnt seem like hes got that same aura around him. i think his next release will be solid though.

      3. John, ur probably 15 and u don’t know shit about hip-hop. Recovery was a commerical album lol. best albums of the decade hahahahhahaa sure kid.

    2. this is obviously not an unreleased recovery track bcuz hes naming players from the Pistons championship squad which means this shit is probably from 2004, sounds like the type of beat dre or em woulda made back then too

    3. not feeling the beat but the first 16 is ill. em i guess went thru a thing, fam, proof, and even the lost to rhymefest ,D12 vs royce , plus the industries pull on him, i don’t know but the proof is in the writing, he’s more humble and at the same time more aggressive now that he,s clean vs. this, which ain’t bad but not what you expect either. three stars first 16 ill

    4. solid track

      eminem is a joke though, he went from dissing all the boy bands and pop star sell outs, to becoming exactly that.

      1. pass it to me
        it just so happens to be
        i adapt when theres heat
        so strap in your seat

        AND DONT HATE JEALOUS MOTHAFUCKA

      2. cant agree more. Hes fucking with all these pop acts i.e: drake wayne jay-z and all the pop producers. so yea he is just like all the ppl he used to make fun of. But hes about his money now and its shows by the album he just put out same goes for Jay. they making corny shit with corny beats and corny features so corny ppl like you can buy the c.d

      3. So tired of people arguing about who is pop and who sold out. Em is makin good music like always so what has changed? There is nothing “pop” about this, how can you compare him to a boy band? Is it lyrical content? Rhyme style? His beat selection? I don’t get it.

      4. Jah – people just dont understand music. people wouldnt do it if it wasnt for the money , they might do it as a hobby for fun but not for a living. so any artist “sold out” the day he signed a record deal.

      5. uhm? guess what pop stands for? popular music fuckin moron. if an artist goes pop you should give him credit because everyone likes him. besides. eminem raps with emotion now. i will agree he went emonem but wasnt he alwasy a little emo? arnt all artists emo? think about it young grasshopper. i just blew your mind

      6. pop is a genre, every popular song is not pop, it doesnt matter where the word came from. and he always rapped with emotion, how are you gonna tell me he just started rapping with emotion on recovery. and yes, i think that his beat selection, lyrical content, determine the genre of the music. otherwise all music would just be one genre. eminem has CLEARLY changed his style over the years, although i dont think hes a sell out, hes just a different person, and maybe a little bit of a hypocrite.

    5. This is obviously an old song. He’s naming everyone on the old Detroit Pistons team. Billups plays for the Nuggets and Sheed is retired. No way this was a recovery track.

      1. Thought so too, but could be just that he’s reppin the last championship piston squad bein from the D and all. cuz some of the other stuff he said seemed more recent…

    6. i think Eminem’s next release will overall be the best product he released since TEShow!
      recovery is only partially good and lacks cohesion and structure
      He’s getting his mojo back though can’t complain

    7. for this song to have a ranking over 4, eminems dickriders must be out in a swarm. Ill go listen to the Marshall Mathers lp

      1. Plus, How did the guy from hiphopdx that posted this did not see that? “Possible unreleased Recovery track?” C’mon lets get our shit straight…

    8. this is better than most songs on his album…for one hes not yelling for no reason and 2 this is his style of rap, not these gay ass songs where hes whining all the time

    9. Y’all mudafuckas satisfied with NOTHING! Relapse was fucking great WTF yall talking bout!?! Its called giving emotion into the fuckin verse wen he’s screamin! Foreal yall need to get a dick and choke on it cuz yall always sayin this or that bad bout muzik!

    10. If any other rapper put this out, they’d get laughed out the building. SMH – corny mother fuckers on HHDX for real.

    11. It’s that NotAfraid2Leak guy on Twitter who also leaked I Need a Doctor, Syllables, Difficult, Hit Me With Your Best Shot, etc. Idk how the hell he is getting all this released stuff.

    12. I know he didn’t rhyme “Gnarls Barkley” with “Charles Barkley”, and “Basket” with “casket” in the same verse. Yo, this is the weakest song ever, and I say that as an Eminem fan. This shit is stupid whack.

    13. umm..maybe this was right after he was sober ….maybe he was tired and just felt like makin somethin….maybe…ummm….naw no excuses…its weak

    14. your all retarted this is no way recovery shit. hes talking about Detroit basketball with billups who hasnt been on the pistons for years. this is definitly when the pistons were killin it in the nba which is around encore time. stop being gay and listen to the lyrics. use context clues. bitchasses

      1. i agree,, when ones referencing the entire line up of the 06 pistons,, you wuold have to assume it was produced then….

        little unsure as to how its ‘GAY’ though,,,

    15. i’m surprised this wasn’t rated a 5 by most of you dick riding SHADY stans. this shit is WACK and it only proves EM is only good at what he is good at (making words rhmye that don’t rhyme). he should stay in his lane (when he does he’s great). songs outside of CHAOS, DRUG ABUSE, MISOGYNY, and GAY WHITE BOY SHIT (i’m white) he sucks at. BUMP J made a better basketball theme song than EMINEM!!!

      1. “it only proves EM is only good at what he is good at”

        u makin lots of sense… if he wasnt rappin bout wat hes “good at” or wat he knows about then hed b a liar and a poser nd ud crucify him 4 that 2… worst part is u dnt even realize how ignorant u sound… haterrr

    16. if you guys dont now em never meant 2 release this, it was weaked. and if u hadnt guessed it it was from before relapse when he was just trying 2 lay shit down 2 get in habbit of rapping. never meant 2 be released.

    17. this song was made a long time ago when billups was still on detroit…hence all the pistons shout outs. no recovery delete

    18. Too bad da Pistons ain’t as good as dis track. Dis shit even hotter den Talking To MYself, wish shady would keep making his own beats.

    19. EMINEM IS THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME!!!

      SLAUGHTERHOUSE UNDER SHADY RECORDS IS GOING TO CHANGE THE GAME!! WACK RAPPERS GET OUT OF THE WAY OR GET RUN OVER!!!

      REAL HIPHOP OVER EVERYTHING!!

    20. That annoying high voice thing is the same as was used on the collab with The Game – “We Ain’t”. So its probably from the same era.

      1. I agree that I wish he’d rap with his “normal voice” again but unfortunately this is from around 2007-2008. definitely not new.

    21. well hes talking about chauncey and rashard lewis….last time they were both on the pistons was what….2007? so this is def mad old.

    22. This song adds to the point im always trying to prove. “do you listen to music or just skim throught it.” jay z renegade. People seem to think this song is fairly recent. Well if you listened to the lyrics you would notice him talking about the detroit piston when billups hamilton and rasheed where there. That was quite a few you yrs ago. Also you can tell by the sound of the production. It has that sample that was on Games Documentary album

    23. I love how everyone is complaining lately about his yelling flow… but his best song The Way I Am.. He yelled through the whole thing and no one seemed to mind then….?

      1. Shut the fuck up idiot! Eminem does not have swag you retard.

        And I agree with KIillaK11, he was shouting/screaming in that song the same amount as in his new songs. People just use that as an excuse to complain and pick on Em. First it was that he WASN’T angry enough on Encore, than it was his accent, and now it’s his shouting and sounding too angry.

        SMFH at you hypocrites

      1. Gucci blows…go suck on his ice cream tattoo you wannabe. Let us all know when someone sells this many records at this time when the music economy sucks 3.5 million records in 7 1/2 months.

    24. Its definitely a couple years old. Sheed hasn’t been on the pistons for a couple years now, billups too.. Plus the pistons aint been relevant for a couple years.. id say he made this 07 or 08. im from minnesota. and u won’t c me making a song about the shitty ass wolves. and im sure em woodn’t either. the pistons haven’t been over 500 since 07 – 08.

    25. Even if the track is old he still ripped the shit and its “unreleased” so its new to everybody stop judging 1 of the best in the biz, hell the best in the biz right now….

    26. The beat sounds like a you don’t see me but I’m coming to kill you beat lol Great song though Em never stops putting out a solid hip hop track!

    27. sick, this shits all over I Need A Doctor, now this is the Eminem flow i miss, i wish he would go back to this delivery

    28. It sounds unfinished. He’s half-hearted on it, like he’s just laying down a first take on it. Perhaps seeing if it works.
      Can easily see why they didn’t bother working anymore on it.
      Disappointing that these tracks get out.

      1. let’s see, I released an album last year that’s gonna hit 4xs platinum this year, all my albums hit at least platinum before that, I’m still in demand everywhere, I still sell out venues when I perform…………..and you want me to retire???? FUCK YOU HATER!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Unlike you, I can retire when I feel like it!!!

      2. I highly doubt your really eminem and if you are you are a disgrace, trailer park trash just like your mom, wife and kid. Only reason you know how to rap is because you grew up in the ghetto parts of detroit. Now that all you rap songs are getting old and each album you release is worse then the last. What are you going to do when acting ghetto doesn’t work anymore?

    29. this is obviously a unreleases track from Relapse….not that bad..but its not his worst……n stop hating..(it was unreleased for reason)…nice beat though

    30. This sounds more like a freestyle than anything.. like a warm up for a recording session, you can tell he wasn’t really trying and the production is a bit screwy. Still tho, not too bad.

    31. You can tell this was never meant to be released. I miss the old em flow but anyone saying this is a 5 star track is lying.

    33. the dudes a legend. its okay to have ridiculously high expectations of dude.

      that being said, this is a great rap song. just think about that shit.

    34. How is this an Encore cut from 2004? He clearly has an “I Get Money’ sample at the 1:14 mark. 50 Cent’s “I Get Money” exploded in Summer 2007. Most likely a Re-Up throwaway. Get ya shit together!!!!!!!!!

      1. Actually, retard, its a sample of “Top Billin” by Audio Two. That song has been out since 1987, which I’m guessing is before your stupid ass was even born, and 20 years before 50 decided to sample it in his wack song. Get YOUR shit together, clown. Learn some history.

      1. hahaha.. you’re his biggest fan because of “i’m not afraid”?. you know his first album came out 1996 right?.

      1. agree try to tell my white peeps hes a legend but not every thing he spits amazing theres alota rappers out there at there top give dem a chance

    35. i’m so sick of people calling him the best rapper alive.. bullshit he used to be, maybe, but that’s long gone and trust he’s not coming back. let the hate ensue..

      1. Everyone’s got their own opinion. This track isn’t the hottest to me, but you have to respect those who do like it.

      2. BEST RAPPER ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!! NO MATTA WAT!!!, Eminem is a LEGEND!, Sure he got his ups and downs but overall i think i speak for most people here when i say once again BEST RAPPER ALIVE!!!!!! Eminem^^^

    36. Yeah…Em was definitely on some opium based medication when he recorded this. Still 3 stars though…better than most emcees sober.

    37. Old school piston references??? I don’t know bout this track. weak to be a top 10 hottest track. That gritz remix with ash roth is better than this shit

    41. this could be a trash track…like when he first went in the studio after 4 years…but u know haters can eat shit everyday…

    42. Hot beat. Shit gets you bump’n. A little bit different, but its pretty recent and shows em has still got that kind lyrical flare and production creativity.

      5/5 – Get’s me spamming the replay button thats a 5 in my books.

    43. wow. That is one sick chipmunk. JK. I really think whoever is leaking this shit should reconsider. Em don’t want this shit out. He must know it sucks. And I thought white guys couldn’t play basketball. XD
