W kwietniu 2010 roku raper ogłosił na Twitterze:
,,Nie będzie Relapse 2"
Fani zaczęli myśleć, że album w ogóle nie będzie wydany, okazało się jednak że nazwa uległa zmianie.
Zostanie wydany album o nazwie ,,Recovery". Sama nazwa mówi o polepszającej się sytuacji Eminema w życiu prywatnym.
Marshall miał w planach wydanie ,,Relapse 2", lecz zmienił zdanie :
"Miałem w planach wydanie Relapse 2 jeszcze w zeszłym roku. Jednak gdy nagrywałem i pracowałem z nowymi producentami, idea sequelu Relapse zaczęła mieć coraz mniej sensu i postanowiłem zrobić kompletnie nowy album. Muzyka na Recovery znacznie różniła się od tej na Relapse i uważam, że zasługuje na swój własny tytuł"
Album został wydany 21 czerwca. W USA, w pierwszym tygodniu sprzedało się 741 000 kopii. Zadebiutował jako numer jeden na liście Billboard Hot 100, a drugi singiel "Love The Way You Lie" na 2 pozycji.
Recovery mimo początkowej fali krytyki za spójność przyjął się dobrze.
W czerwcu Eminem z Jay Z wyruszył w trasę koncertową do Detroit i NY.Wtedy Eminem został nazwany raperem nr 1 XXI wieku.
W wrześniu Marshall otworzył 2010 MTV Video Music Awards wykonując utwór ,,Not afraid" oraz "Love The Way You Lie" razem z Rihanną. Eminem został mianowany Hottest MC in the game (Najgorętszym MC w grze) przez MTV.

Eminem wraz z Rihanną współpracowali dalej tworząc "Love The Way You Lie, Part II", utwór od pierwszej wersji różnił się tym, że Riri jest główną wokalistką.

Nowy singiel Eminema "Syllables" ukazał się na miejskich stacjach radiowych w USA.
W grudniu Recovery Eminema uznane zostało za moment numer jeden w muzyce w 2010 roku.
W następnym roku ,,Space Bound" zostało wydane jako czwarty singiel z Recovery wraz z teledyskiem,w którym występuje Sasha Grey.
Po jakimś czasie dwa albumy Eminema The Eminem Show oraz The Marshall Mathers LP otrzymują certyfikat diamentowych płyt przez RIAA. To sprawiło, że Eminem był wtedy jedynym raperem posiadającym dwie diamentowe płyty.

W 2010/2011 roku Eminem & Royce da 5'9" rozpoczęli prace nad pierwszym minialbumem jako duet Bad Meets Evil. Duet ten powrócił, powstał w 1999 roku.
Minialbum zatytułowany Hell: The Sequel został wydany 14 czerwca 2011
W grudniu Studio Leaks wydało minialbum o tytule The Straight From The Vault EP. Na płycie znajdują się kawałki, które wcześniej nigdy nie były publikowane.
Prawdopodobnie zostały napisane na przełomie 2006-2011.
Niektórzy sądzili, że za niedlugo raper wyda większy album o nazwie The Straight From The Vault LP, który ma zawierać nie tylko stare kawałki ale też nowe utwory.
,,Zrobiłbym wszystko
By pokazać, jak bardzo cię uwielbiam
Ale to już skończone, za późno by ocalić naszą miłość
Ale obiecaj mi tylko, że pomyślisz o mnie za każdym
razem kiedy zobaczysz gwiazdę na niebie
"
razem kiedy zobaczysz gwiazdę na niebie

,,Nie boję się postawić na swoim
Niech wszyscy wezmą mnie za rękę
Przejdziemy tą drogę razem , poprzez burzę
Bez względu na pogodę
Po prostu wiedz o tym że nie jesteś sam
Krzycz, jeśli jesteś w takiej sytuacji, jak ja."

_____________________________ Eminem - Not Afraid
,,Nie pokazałaś mi nic, oprócz nienawiści
Rzuciłaś mnie na ziemię
Ale dostajemy to, na co zasługujemy
Nie potrzebuję cię (nie rań mnie)
Ty (nie rań mnie już więcej)
Nie potrzebuję cię, nie chcę cię widzieć
Dostajesz zero miłości
Zero
Nie potrzebuję cię"

Eminem - Not Afraid
[Chorus:]
I'm not afraid (I'm not afraid)
To take a stand (to take a stand)
Everybody (everybody)
Come take my hand (come take my hand)
We'll walk this road together, through the storm
Whatever weather, cold or warm
Just letting you know that you're not alone
Holler if you feel like you've been down the same road (same road)
[Intro (during Chorus):]
Yeah, it's been a ride
I guess I had to, go to that place, to get to this one
Now some of you, might still be in that place
If you're trying to get out, just follow me
I'll get you there
You can try and read my lyrics off of this paper before I lay 'em
But you won't take the sting out these words before I say 'em
Cause ain't no way I'ma let you stop me from causing mayhem
When I say I'ma do something I do it,
I don't give a damn what you think,
I'm doing this for me, so fuck the world
Feed it beans, it's gassed up, if it thinks it's stopping me
I'ma be what I set out to be, without a doubt undoubtedly
And all those who look down on me I'm tearing down your balcony
No ifs, ands or buts, don't try to ask him why or how can he
From "Infinite" down to the last "Relapse" album
He's still shitting, whether he's on salary paid hourly
Until he bows out or he shits his bowels out of him
Whichever comes first, for better or worse
He's married to the game, like a fuck you for Christmas
His gift is a curse, forget the Earth, he's got the urge
To pull his dick from the dirt, and fuck the whole universe
[Chorus:]
I'm not afraid (I'm not afraid)
To take a stand (to take a stand)
Everybody (everybody)
Come take my hand (come take my hand)
We'll walk this road together, through the storm
Whatever weather, cold or warm
Just letting you know that you're not alone
Holler if you feel like you've been down the same road
Okay quit playing with the scissors and shit, and cut the crap
I shouldn't have to rhyme these words in the rhythm for you to know it's a rap
You said you was king, you lied through your teeth, for that
Fuck your fillings, instead of getting crowned you're getting capped
And to the fans, I'll never let you down again, I'm back
I promise to never go back on that promise, in fact
Let's be honest, that last "Relapse" CD was ehhh
Perhaps I ran them accents into the ground
Relax, I ain't going back to that now
All I'm trying to say is get back, click-clack, blow
Cause I ain't playing around
It's a game called circle and I don't know how, I'm way too up to back down
But I think I'm still trying to figure this crap out
Thought I had it mapped out but I guess I didn't, this fucking black cloud
Still follows me around but it's time to exorcise these demons
These motherfuckers are doing jumping jacks now!
[Chorus:]I'm not afraid (I'm not afraid)
To take a stand (to take a stand)
Everybody (everybody)
Come take my hand (come take my hand)
We'll walk this road together, through the storm
Whatever weather, cold or warm
Just letting you know that you're not alone
Holler if you feel like you've been down the same road
And I just can't keep living this way
So starting today, I'm breaking out of this cage
I'm standing up, I'ma face my demons
I'm manning up, I'ma hold my ground
I've had enough, now I'm so fed up
Time to put my life back together right now! (now)
It was my decision to get clean, I did it for me
Admittedly, I probably did it subliminally
For you, so I could come back a brand new me you helped see me through
And don't even realize what you did, 'cause believe me you
I been through the ringer, but they could do little to the middle finger
I think I got a tear in my eye, I feel like the king of
My world, haters can make like bees with no stingers
And drop dead, no more beef lingers
No more drama from now on, I promise
To focus solely on handling my responsibilities as a father
So I solemnly swear to always treat this roof, like my daughters
And raise it, you couldn't lift a single shingle on it!
Cause the way I feel, I'm strong enough to go to the club
Or the corner pub, and lift the whole liquor counter up
Cause I'm raising the bar
I'd shoot for the moon but I'm too busy gazing at stars
I feel amazing and I'm...
[Chorus:]
I'm not afraid (I'm not afraid)
To take a stand (to take a stand)
Everybody (everybody)
Come take my hand (come take my hand)
We'll walk this road together, through the storm
Whatever weather, cold or warm
Just letting you know that you're not alone
Holler if you feel like you've been down the same road
I'm not afraid (I'm not afraid)
To take a stand (to take a stand)
Everybody (everybody)
Come take my hand (come take my hand)
We'll walk this road together, through the storm
Whatever weather, cold or warm
Just letting you know that you're not alone
Holler if you feel like you've been down the same road (same road)
