    Eminem switched his style and sound up from album to album. Since each is so different its difficult to tell which songs are older or newer, and nothing really sounds like a leftover from a previous album, but you can still hear the transition

    So which songs would fit or sounds most like it was recorded around the album before It?

    SSLP -
    "Rock Bottom" most like an infinite track - From its serious content, to the non-stop multisyllable rhyming
    "Role Model" - most like a MMLP track, got the dark beat, prod by Dre, and em uses that angry double layered vocal that he used a lot on MMLP on the hook

    MMLP -
    "Under The Influence" sounds most like SSLP, no mention of anything about game or recent events, the rhymes cartoonist
    "The Way I Am" most like The Eminem Show. More focused on delivery to the sound of the beat and personal life content.

    TES -
    "Sing For The Moment" amped angry high pitch and very multilayered like MMLP, the dark guitars. Most like MMLP
    "My Dads Gone Crazy" - boppy repetitive Dre beat, weird drum pattern, lazier sounding Em flow, silly content (outside most of 3rd verse). Most like Encore.

    Encore -
    "Never Enough" rapid fire, multisyllable through most the verse about personal content most like Eminem Show
    "Big Weenie" - Dark bouncy Dre beat, Eminem using a high pitched weird voice, a little like "Must be The Ganja" most like Relapse

    Relapse -
    "Beautiful" lazy sounding flow, personal song but rhyming isn't great, self produced w a sample like a few Encore tracks. Most like Encore.
    "Underground" a lot of punchlines, no accent just a more aggressive voice

    Recovery -
    "White Trash Party" most like Relapse, upbeat without the pop radio beat, drug talk, hear an accent slip a few times to make syllable rhymes work
    "Won't Back Down" most like MMLP2, s--- mixing, punchlines, rock influence

    MMLP2 -
    "Survival" is most like Recovery, singer on the hook like 25 to life, love the way u lie, almost famous, won't back down. A lot of punchlines and yelling delivery
    "So Far" is most like his new music, a lot of rhyming for the sake of rhyming

    So Bad was likely meant for Relapse 2.

    I wonder if W.T.P was a Relapse 2 leftover as well. I agree with OP, it really reminds me of it.

    I agree edpecially since Dre produced most of the relapse songs and one recovery song. So bad is fed a relapse 2 leftover, i still don't think it fit the style as much

    And while not officially released, I imagine Cocaine was meant as the lead off track for R2.

    rather be an Encyclopedia Birtannica, h--- with

    Nintendo, b----! Run, jump, punch, stab, and I melt the
    Mozzarella on my spaghetti

    I think this poor white trash from the trailer
    Jed Clampett, Fred Sanford, and welfare
    Mentality helps to keep me grounded
    That's why I never take full advantage of wealth, I
    Managed to dwell within these parameters
    Still crammin' the shelves full of Hamburger Helper

    SSLP -> MMLP: Rock Bottom
    MMLP -> SSLP: Under the Influence
    MMLP -> TES: Stan
    TES -> MMLP: Cleaning Out My Closet (Dark, controversial content, minimalist beat, rap about family issues.)
    TES -> Encore: Drips (Silly content, singing hook)
    Encore -> TES: We As Americans (TES style beat, political content)
    Encore -> Relapse: Rain Man (Accent, imaginary persona)
    Relapse -> Encore: My Mom (Singing, rap about drugs)
    Relapse -> Recovery: Underground (Deeper voice, grandiose beat)
    Recovery -> Relapse: So Bad
    Recovery -> MMLP2: Session One
    MMLP2 -> Recovery: Survival (It basically sounds like a Recovery leftover)

    Stan to TES is a great one
    Rain man to Relapse also

    Drug Ballad fits more on SSLP than Under the Influence does.

    I wish The Kids would've made the actual MMLP album though. One of my favorite Eminem songs.
