1. Because "Is This Love" is f---ing amazing.
2. To make morons like yourself talk. Free promo for Em.
3. We will probably hear some of "new era" stuff on Curtain Call 3.
Like, I don't mind 'Is This Love' and love Relapse but I remember reading he recorded 'hundreds' of tracks for MMLP2. And that era has some of his best rapping... ever, not even since just coming back - why wouldn't he put 1 or 2 tracks from that era at least? vs. a pretty generic silly track from an era and album he says he hates.
Given the caliber of MMLP2 tracks and the volume he recorded... there's probably fricken 50 masterpieces in the vault, yet he puts 'Is This Love' on there... his choices are so odd and weird.
The tracks on Refill are from the Hawaii sessions in the summer of 2009, when Em started changing his style to what eventually became the Recovery sound. The "real" Relapse 2 was only made up of songs from the original Relapse sessions of 2008-2009. Apart from the songs on Relapse, we've only heard 4 other tracks from that period: Oh No; Things get Worse; Taking My Ball; Psycho. Taking My Ball is confirmed to be a leftover from R1, and the same is said, but not confirmed, of Oh No, so the only potentially R2 songs that we have are Things Get Worse & Psycho. This old Reddit post explains all of this quite well:
