Leaked tracks from Eminem’s Recovery album continue to surface online, despite its official release date still being two weeks away. That sucks for Eminem.
Or does it? Conventional wisdom suggests leaks hinder sales, but Em’s new songs and collaborations with Rihanna, Lil Wayne and others are drawing raves.
Gaining probably the most online traction of the leaked tracks – a bunch of which are still up as of right now – is “Love the Way You Lie,” featuring Rihanna.
Seeing as the song chronicles a destructive, abusive and violent relationship (cough, Chris Brown), it’s tailor-made for tabloid fodder as well as a solid track.
Listen to the leaked Recovery track and vote on it below …
In between Eminem’s verses Rihanna brings it in the chorus: “Just gonna stand there and watch me burn / That’s alright ’cause I like the way it hurts / Just gonna stand there and hear me cry / That’s alright ’cause I like the way you lie.”
What do you think of “Love the Way You Lie”?
Follow the jump for two more tracks: Eminem and Lil Wayne sampling Haddaway (no joke) on “No Love,” and Pink teaming with him on “Won’t Back Down” …
