Did Em diss Recovery???

[4Corners]

I can't remember which song at the moment....but he says Recovery was so coveted, but what good is a recovery if he fumbles it.....????

[4Corners]

Or am I reading too far into this???

[Chilltown-JAKE]

No lol.

[4Corners]

Sure sounded like it to me, but Idk. I was just asking other opinions.

It's a football reference. When someone fumbles, their team or the opposing team recovers the football.

So, somewhat of a triple entendre.

1.) What good is a fumble recovery if he's gonna fumble the recovery?
2.) What good is a drug addiction recovery if he falls back into drugs?
3.) What good is Recovery if he follows up with a bad album?

[4Corners]

Cool guys.

I thought it was pretty clear he was talking about the label wanting him to repeat Recovery's success, and he was responding "What's the point in making another very successful album if it's not very good because it's rushed/not thought through/whatever?"

[Kill You]

I think so, he said he recovered then fumbled it.

[VINTAGƎ]

I think so, he said he recovered then fumbled it.

He said the album was coveted. Not sure if he's saying that from the point of view of critics, fans, or his own opinion.

He probably should have prefaced it with "the views expressed about Recovery do not reflect the views of TrShady"

[rapaddict92]

no

[EminemBase]

Potentially.

He could have mostly been referring to a drug recovery (the football pun is present too of course)... but I doubt he would use that word and say that without it being some kind of dig at the album... because he's far too aware of the significance of that album title and what it could sound like.

So I think he kind of did.

[SliK]

I don't think he dissed it, I think he was saying that it was successful and attempting to recreate it and fail for the sake of sales would be the fumble.

[croatia]

until this topic i thought he says crumble not fumble xD

[yoda you can call me]

Yes he did diss it. When he said he fumbled it. He meant he was off with his skills. Well that's what i took from it

[skc_]

i think what he says is hes back on drugs
