Before Eminem even dropped Relapse last year, he announced plans release a follow-up called Relapse 2 — and then he totally changed his mind.
Instead, come June 21, fans will be able to pick up Em's new album Recovery (which was moved up a day after it leaked online). Eminem recently explained the meaning behind the album title in an interview withThe New York Times, revealing that it is a direct reference to managing his ongoing battle with prescription drugs.
"Vicodin, Valium and Ambien and, toward the end, which caused my overdose, methadone," Eminem told the Times when asked what he was recovering from. "I didn't know it was methadone. I used to get pills wherever I could. I was just taking anything that anybody was giving to me."
The hip-hop superstar also opened up about his stint in rehab. "The first time I went, it was in Brighton, Michigan," he said "The second time, I didn't go to rehab; I just went to a regular hospital. I detoxed in the hospital, and then I came home."
Coping with addiction is a demanding process, but due to his celebrity, Em had to deal with a unique set of challenges. The always candid MC said that he later chose to detox in a hospital because his outsize stardom affected the way his fellow addicts in rehab interacted with Em. "I couldn't go back to rehab. I felt like I was Bugs Bunny in rehab," Eminem said. "When Bugs Bunny walks into rehab, people are going to turn and look. People at rehab were stealing my hats and pens and notebooks and asking for autographs. I couldn't concentrate on my problem."
Did you prefer the Relapse 2 album title, or are you happy Em opted for Recovery instead? Let us know in the comments.

Eminem Says He Felt Like 'Bugs Bunny' In Rehab
Eminem Says 'Slim Shady' Wasn't Right for Recovery
Eminem burst on the scene in 1999 with The Slim Shady LP, which introduced the world to Marshall Mathers' manic, violent alter ego Slim Shady. Shady's mercurial behavior has captivated fans throughout Em's career, as Slim took cheeky shots at everyone from 'NSYNC to his own mentor Dr. Dre and murdered his longtime gal pal Kim (only on wax, of course). Recently, the amped-up Shady has taken a backseat to Eminem's candid rhymes about his struggles with fame and addiction. However, Em said that he hasn't completely killed the Shady persona; it's just not right for Recovery.
"Shady still exists. But I don't think the subjects on this record call for, you know, 'bring the chainsaws and axes out and murder everyone on this record,' " Em told The New York Times in a recent interview. "There was so much stuff like that off the last record that I felt like I was starting to run it into the ground. I think consciously I went in a different direction with this record."
Em has been given a hard time for his hard-hitting rhymes, but when the Times pressed the star about whether he had any regrets about using unsavory terms when referring to women, he maintained that he was simply expressing his feelings honestly.
"Anything I've ever said, I certainly was feeling at the time," Eminem said. "But I think I've calmed down a bit. My overall look on things is a lot more mature than it used to be." The star has certainly changed his outlook, as he mentioned in the same Times article, which will run in Sunday's issue, that he supports gay marriage.
Eminem's Recovery is set to hit stores June 21. The album was pushed up a day after the much-anticipated follow-up to Relapse leaked online earlier this month.
Do you want Slim Shady back, or are you happy Em is giving his alter ego a rest? Let us know in the comments!
Eminem Says He Supports Gay Marriage
In a new interview with The New York Times Magazine, Eminem declares that his "overall look on things is a lot more mature than it used to be," a statement that apparently extends to his views on gay marriage.
At one point during the piece — which will appear in the Sunday, June 20, issue of the mag — Em is asked by the Times' Deborah Solomon if he'd support a gay marriage bill in his home state of Michigan. Somewhat surprisingly, he said yes ... in his own, uniquely acerbic way, of course.
"I think if two people love each other, then what the hell?" Em answered. "I think that everyone should have the chance to be equally miserable, if they want."
Throughout his career, Eminem has drawn the ire of gay rights groups, who called lyrics on his Marshall Mathers LP "homophobic and hateful" and protested his performance — and nominations — at the Grammy Awards in 2001. And late last year, he made headlines when "Elevator," from his Relapse: Refill album, found him calling Clay Aiken and Adam Lambert "f----ts."
Elsewhere in the Times interview, Eminem says that his newfound maturity had a lot to do with getting sober and, for the first time in his career, putting his maniacal Slim Shady persona on the shelf for his upcoming Recovery album.
"Shady still exists. But I don't think the subjects on this record call for, you know, bringing the chainsaws and axes out and murder[ing] everyone," he says. "There was so much stuff like that off the last record that I felt like I was starting to run it into the ground. I think consciously I went in a different direction with this record."
Eminem To Perform At The BET Awards

Eminem Enlists Sham Wow Guy For Recovery Ad
Now that Eminem has pushed up the release date of Recovery by a day to June 21 (following the album's leak last week), the Detroit rapper is pulling out the big guns to promote the disc.
In a new video ad called "Emwow" that looks calculated to go viral, Vince the ShamWow guy sets aside the miracle sponge for 30 seconds to sell you about the slice-it, dice-it wonders of the new Marshall Mathers disc. Wearing a black polo embroidered with the Recovery title and his signature headset, Vinny holds up the disc and announces, "Hey, it's Vince with Eminem's new album, Recovery, and you're gonna be clappin' when you hear Eminem rappin'."
He then demonstrates the "dozens of uses" for the disc, including slicing razor-thin tomatoes for your sandwich, serving as a drink coaster, a necklace for the ladies or even as bling for your garden hose (get it?). He even suggests cutting the disc in half (an unusual selling point for a CD, but we'll go with it) and using one part to slice cheese and the other to chop onions.
"Tacos, steak bone, silicone," Vince demonstrates, tossing aside a breast implant and oversharing, "I like mine real, so forget about it."
This being Eminem, the ad ends with some bathroom humor, as Vince announces a special bonus product thrown in for free, a feminine-hygiene product called the ShamPon.
The rapper surprised his fans at Activision's E3 party on Monday night in Los Angeles, bringing out guests Travis Barker and Rihanna to help him celebrate the upcoming release.
A spokesperson for Em's label said the album, which features guest spots from Pink and Lil Wayne in addition to Rihanna, will hit stores a day earlier than expected to satisfy the rapper's biggest supporters.
"We believe fans want to support their favorite artists by purchasing the real album and not a leaked version," Steve Berman, vice-chairman of Interscope Geffen A&M, said in a press release announcing the new date. "At the same time, we realize speed is of the essence when fans are so passionate about wanting to hear new songs from such an enormously popular artist like Eminem. ... Even by releasing Recovery only a day earlier than previously announced, it makes a difference to those fans."
What do you think of the "Emwow" ad? Does it make you more likely to buy the new disc? Sound off in the comments.
Eminem's Recovery Album Moved Up
The release date for Eminem's new "Recovery" album has been moved up. According to multiple reports, including Eminem himself, the album will hit stores on Monday, June 21st. Eminem wrote on his twitter account yesterday, "It's true. RECOVERY goes on-sale Monday, 6/21 now. #recovery."

Eminem's U.K. Freestyle 'Took Us Back,' Royce Da 5'9" Says
Royce Da 5'9" is back in his hometown Detroit. He just came back from an overseas trip alongwith Eminem, Alchemist and kon artis.
"It was great, man," Royce, on the phone from his house in Detroit, said of the trip, which was a press run in support of Em's Recovery. "I was going around them and soaking up game. I think it's phenomenal how [Eminem manager] Paul Rosenberg can be around us joking one minute, and then the next second, he's on the phone handling business and dealing with point people. It's so tight. I peep the way they do things, the way Em knocks shit out without complaining. It teaches me a lot. It's like being a fly on the wall. You about to be a part of something special. I truly feel that Em is about to go on a crazy run. The album is phenomenal. I see a pattern, and I'm glad to be a part of it. We had a great time over there. All work."
Royce, who started a friendship with Em back in the mid '90s, is soon to be an official member of the Shady roster. The long-talked-about Slaughterhouse/ Shady Records deal is in the fourth quarter, Royce said. One of the highlights of the trips overseas was a stop off at Tim Westwood's radio show, where Royce, Em and Porter kicked three verses apiece.
"You know what's crazy? Denaun was like, 'We should just do two verses. The three verses is going to be too long,' " Royce said. "Em was the one pushing for three verses. He was like, 'Let's do three verses.' I'm like, 'Damn, he must really wanna get these off.' When I heard them, I knew why he wanted to spit them. When we did it, it was fun. It took us back. When we got on the jet going back, we was talking the whole way about that sh--. That sh-- reminded me of back in the day when we used to go in. Me and Em got an 11-minute freestyle on Stretch Armstrong's show 10 years ago. It took us back to that. It was like we was kids again. It was fun."
Royce just released his new mixtape with DJ Whoo Kid, Bar Exam 3: The Most Interesting Man in the World.
So this means bad meets evil,deadly team is back again.....
Eminem Keeping June 22 Recovery Release Date, Despite Leak
Eminem changed the rules regarding traditional Tuesday album releases in the past, when the MC would push up the date by weeks after his projects were bootlegged or leaked online.
Now, with his forthcoming Recovery set having hit the Web two weeks early, the rapper has reportedly decided to keep the same June 22 release date.
According to XXLmag.com, a representative for Em confirmed the date would stay the same despite the album being available illegally. Damn,this can affect the first week sales of the album.
An Interscope Records spokesperson was unavailable at press time when contacted by MTV News.
Recovery arrived online and via blogs earlier this week, following the lead single "Not Afraid" and the Pink-assisted "Won't Back Down."
The first video from the project, "Not Afraid," premiered Saturday and departs from the rapper's usual satirical efforts.
Last month, Eminem revealed the track list for Recovery, and the rapper chose to work with Lil Wayne, Pink and Rihanna for the project.
In the past, he's kept his circle of collaborators short, mostly limited to the Shady/Aftermath camp, including Dr. Dre and 50 Cent.
For this collection, however, Eminem chose to work with a bevy of new contributors, such as producers Just Blaze, Jim Jonsin, and DJ Khalil.
"A lot of good music is being made [by Eminem]," Just Blaze told earliar.[Read it]. "He's really back spitting. The wordplay is crazy, the metaphors are crazy. He's really back on his game. He had his ups, he had his downs, he's back way, way, way up. This is definitely going to be up there with the best of his albums, for sure, for sure. The fact that he's branched out working with a lot of different people now, collaborating in a lot of different ways that he never has before, I think he's going to surprise a lot of people."

Eminem Admits Being Jealous Of Lil Wayne, Kanye West On 'Talkin' 2 Myself'
Eminem dived into the depths of his drug dependency for his last album, Relapse, and on his forthcoming Recovery, he continues to speak on some of the low points in his life. On the track "Talkin' 2 Myself ft kobe," eminem admits being jealous of Lil Wayne's and Kanye West's rising prominence.
He said on the dj khlil produced track that he almost made a track dissing kanye and lil wayne because he was jealous of the attention they both were getting.They were spitting and eminem was doing drugs.
But EM backed away when he realized he wouldn't have been much of an opponent, in his condition.
"I would have had my ass handed to me" he spits, acknowledging his respect for their craft.
Recovery is slated for a June 22 release despite its leak to the internet on Tuesday (June 8).

Here the full lyrics
(Hook)
You can sound the alarm, you can call out your guards
You can fence in your yard, you can pull all the cards
But I won’t back down, oh no I won’t back down, oh no
(Verse 1)
Cadillacs appeals, Coupe Deville’s
Brain dead rims, yeah stupid wheels
Girl I’m too for real, lose your tooth and nails
Try to fight it, try to deny it, stupid you will feel
What I do, I do at will
Shooting from the hip, yeah boy I shoot to kill
Half a breath left on my death bed
Screaming F that, yeah super ill
Baby what the deal, we can chill
Split a half a pill and a happy meal
Fuck a steak slut, I’ll cut my toes off
And step on the receipt before I foot the bill
Listen garden tool, don’t make me introduce you to my power tool
You know the fucking drill
How you douche bags feel knowing you’re disposable?
Summer’s eve massingale
Shady’s got the mass appeal, baby crank the shit
Cause it’s your god damned jam
You said you wanted your punchlines a little more compact
Well shorty I’m that man
These other cats ain’t metaphorically where I’m at man
I gave Bruce Wayne a valium
And said settle your fucking ass down, I’m ready for combat man
Get it, calm Batman? Nah, ain’t nobody who’s as bomb and as
Nuts, lines are like mom’s cat scans
Cause they fucking go ba-na-nas
Honey I applaud that ass, swear to god man
These mobs can’t dance, ma show ‘em how it’s done
Spaz like a god damn Taz, yeah
(Hook)
You can sound the alarm, you can call out your guards
You can fence in your yard, you can pull all the cards
But I won’t back down, oh no I won’t back down, oh no
(Verse 2)
Girl shake that ass like a donkey with parkinsons
Make like Michael J Fox in ya drawers playing with an etcha-sketch
Bet ya that you’ll never guess who’s knockin’ at your doors
People hit the floors, yeah tonight ladies you gon’ get divorced
Girl forget remorse, Imma hit you broads with
Chris’ force like you pissed him off
Talented with the tongue motherfucker, you ain’t got a lick in yours
Hittin’ licks, like I’m robbin’ liquor stores
Making cash registers shit their drawers
Think you spit the rawest?
I’m an uncooked slab of beef laying on your kitchen floor
Otherwords, I’m off the meat rack, bring the beat back
Bring the two extension cords
Imma measure my dick, shit I need six inches more
Fuck my dick’s big bitch, need I remind you
That I don’t need the fucking swine flu to be a sick pig
You’re addicted, I’m dope, I’m the longest needle around here
Need a fix oc? I’m the big shot, get it dick snots?
You’re just small boats, little pricks
Girl you think that other prick’s hot?
I’ll drink gasoline and eat a lit match
Before I sit back and let him get hot
Better call the cops on him quick fast
Shady’s right back on your bitch ass
White trash with a half a six pack in his hatchback
Trailer hitch if tats to the back, quick dispatch
(Hook)
You can sound the alarm, you can call out your guards
You can fence in your yard, you can pull all the cards
But I won’t back down, oh no I won’t back down, oh no
(Verse 3)
Bitch am I the reason that your boyfriend stopped rappin’
Does a bird chirp, Lil’ Wayne slurps syrup til he burps
And smokes purp, does a wordsearch, get’s circles wrapped around him
like you do when I come through, I’d like you to remind yourself
Of what the fuck I can do when I’m on the mic
Oh you’re the kinda girl I can take a liking to
Psych I’m spiking you, like a football
Been this way since I stood a foot tall
You’re a good catch, with a shitty spouse
Got a pretty mouth and a good jaw
Gimmie good brain, watch the woodgrain
Don’t want no cum-stain, bitch you listening?
Try to turn me down, slut I’m talking to you
Turn me back up, are you insane
Try to talk over me in the car, shut the fuck up while my shit’s playing
I’m a shit stain on the underwear of life
What’s the saying? when there’s thunder then there’s light-ening
And they say that it never strikes twice in the same place
Then how the fuck have I been hit six times
On three different locations on four seperate occasions?
And you can bet your stinking ass
That I’ve come to smash everything in my path
Folk was in the road, took the psychopath
Poison Ivy wouldn’t have me thinking rash
So hit the dancefloor cutie, while I do my duty
On this microphone, shake your booty shorty
I’m the shit, why you think Proof used to call me doodie?
(Hook)
You can sound the alarm, you can call out your guards
You can fence in your yard, you can pull all the cards
But I won’t back down, oh no I won’t back down, oh no
