Eminem Recovery wins the Grammy for Best Rap Album and with it comes several not so new tracks to hit the internet.

Studioleaks.info, the site that recently leaked Lil Wayne’s snippet of “You and I,” dropped a whole project of previously unheard Eminem tracks.

The mixtape/EP, titled Straight From the Vault EP, features eleven Eminem songs, varying in time periods judging by Em’s ever-changing flow on the tracks. The release has very few cameos, including one with Obie Trice on “Emulate Me,” one with B.o.B. on “Things Get Worse,” and another featuring D12 titled “Going Crazy.”

Fans of Slim Shady are welcoming this new wave of tracks, regardless of how long ago they were recorded.
“The new Eminem tracks are massive!” @MrJasonM emphatically tweeted, amongst several retweets of download links to the EP all over the Twitterverse.

Some high points on the project include a track called “G.O.A.T.”, where Em is acknowledging his place in Hip-Hop despite what others might think. There is also a questionable line on the track aimed at Jay-Z and Kanye West. “They keep on saying the same rappers are the best, Jay-Z & Kanye West / Maybe they’re just trying to distract you from the fact that I’m coming back / Or maybe it’s cause I ain’t black / Maybe it’s because of that / Maybe it’s because I’m the highest selling artist in rap,” he says on “G.O.A.T.”

Most of the tracks sound differently from Em’s rhyming style from Relapse to Recovery – which fans currently refer to as the “accent” – representing the slight cockney patois Eminem has been inserting into his flow. However, while the new tracks are exciting to hear, others question where they came from and how they reached our ears.

“There's loadsa Eminem tracks leaking, think they're mostly Relapse 2 leaks tho,” @TheSwamps tweets, assuming they’re from the follow up Relapse project that never materialized. “Have you heard of that fool who hacked Eminem's computer and is releasing his tracks?” another user @_iTzShowTime tweeted. Whether or not Eminem intended for these songs to hit the web remains to be seen.

There are more songs outside of Straight From the Vault, that have leaked (referred to as “The Lost Tracks”, including a remix to 50 Cent’s “I Get Money”.

While these songs may never see a formal release, @VickSlate tweeted it best: “Eminems unreleased tracks > your released ones”.

^ that line was on his "I Get Money" freestyle

[Emadyville]

Yeah i get that, i assume he was drugged out of his head aswell. Just seemed a bit of a weak thing to say. Yeah the guy had problems when starting cos of being White but he is a world known star at that point. Using the race card there seemed a lil stupid. But as said i imagine this was when he was drugged out his mind. Guess i see why he is actually pissed with Koolo leaking the stuff.

Yeah I was just mentioning it cause, if it was a legit freestyle your opinion on it might be different. I don't like the fact he brings it up either, and not because it's not an "issue" or whatever, but because he always strayed from it in terms of how he approached it if he did mention it...like white america for example was well done, about his race, but done with creativeness.

I still think his race is an issue in terms of people saying he is the best though, so I mean, personally I understand him saying it

GOAT

the apple
get money
emulate
wee wee
and going crazy

am I missing some or are they wrong?

[Emadyville]

Not so sure on that one to be honest. Hip Hop's fanbase is so expansive now that i think he gets alot of the props he deserves. Though tbh i think it works both ways. White Hip hop fans will most likly rate him higher as a result.

Yeah, I meant in terms of those opinions that are "heard" and respected.

But you're right, it goes both ways, especially in the fact that em brought so many white kids into hip-hop in terms of what they listen to. When it's all said and done, his impact on society and music will be unbelievable.
