OG Filename: 3.9.2009 Insult LA One of the biggest Eminem grails. Mentioned by Alchemist to be the lead song on Relapse 2. Described as "picking up where Underground left off." This has Eminem's more normal rapping voice instead of the Relapse accents. It is a common misconception Alchemist produced this track but it was later confirmed to be Dre. Does not use the same lyrics Eminem used in a 2010 Tim Westwood freestyle, which was previously speculated.

Kanye asked Steve Aoki to make a remix of Forever before the song came out. He sent the song back to Kanye but it never released because it "didn't sound good". Released on Steve Aoki's mySpace page.

First version of the Relapse 2 album likely consisting of Relapse 1 session scraps and newly recorded material. Made right before the release of Relapse.

Track #4 from Chemical Warfare.

OG Filename: 8.5.09 Nut Up#4 Snippet leaked in 2011 by Koolo, full song leaked in 2019. Made during the Hawaii sessions for Relapse 2, possibly for the album.

Leaked by The Soul Intent Enthusiast. Made before Hawaii sessions. Lossless is in circulation.

This version of Relapse 2 was compiled together before the 2009 Hawaii recorded tracks. Likely the version MusicMafia was selling for 75K.

Recorded in Las Vegas alongside Sexual Healing V2 and later mixed by Dre on August 17, 2009, meaning it was meant for Relapse 2 or Refill at some point. 50's verse got reused on the released version of Is This Love and Em also interpolating 50's second verse for his verse on the released version of Is This Love. Leaked by The Soul Intent Enthusiast on 01/12/2025. Full lossless in circulation.

OG Filename: thewarning A direct response to Mariah Carey's song "Obsessed", which was made in response to Bagpipes From Baghdad. This was intentionally leaked by Shady Records and sent to users of Rap Basement forums. The file linked here is the same one they sent to users of the site from the original download link.

In the headphone bleed of Nikki Grier's vocals on release you can hear drums akin to the ones on Murder Dem Murdererers. As she mainly worked with Em in Hawaii/Just Blaze session Relapse 2, she likely recorded around this time. This would place these vocals likely around the same time as Hell Breaks Loose, Cold Wind Blows & Seasons.

Judging by the mixdown date of September 30, 2009, an unmixed version of Love Drunk likely exists.
