The expanded edition adds one new track and five instrumentals.

2013 was a year for a lot of standout rap records. Drake's Nothing Was The Same, Kanye West's Yeezus, ASAP Rocky's LONG.LIVE.A$AP, and Eminem's The Marshall Mathers LP2. In fact, it has been almost 10 years to the day that the Detroit icon made his return. He took a three-year hiatus even after fans were enjoying his 2010 record, Recovery.

Of course, LP2 is a sequel to arguably Eminem's best album, The Marshall Mather LP from 2000. It was the record that featured the classics like "Stan," "The Real Slim Shady," and many more. While the follow-up is not as iconic as the original plenty of quality landed on it too. To celebrate its 10th birthday, Em decided to add an exclusive song and instrumentals of all the singles for the project.

According to Southpawers, the additional track, "Don't Front" featuring Buckshot, was only available to those who ordered the Call of Duty: Ghosts and the album bundle. Eminem's ties to the video game come from the trailer for it, which included "Survival" as the theme song. Furthermore, the game also came out the same day MMLP2 dropped. On top of the song, Eminem also provided instrumental versions of the singles. Those being "Berserk," "Rap God," "Survival," "The Monster" with Rihanna, and "Headlights" with Nate Ruess.
