Eminem said he went "back to his first albums" with Relapse because he wanted to make shock raps again, which is why 90% of Relapse are pointless serial killer songs.
Eminem then listened to his first albums for Recovery to figure out why his songs still didn't sound the same. Probably because of the shitty accents.
