That blog says its of the Recovery re-release. It just sounds like Airplanes/Love the Way You live with extra electronic effects. Also, the chorus is stupid.

This is what I wished "Coming Home" would sound like. More captivating and not as boring. I don't think it will do much though.
Edit: I think this may be a demo because the sound quality and electronic effects ruin it.

Yeah, this is the version that leaked back in November. I'm sure it's different now.

 The Doctor is in. Dr. Dre, Eminem, and Skylar Grey check in to the hospital on the cover for the Alex Da Kid-produced “I Need a Doctor,” the official lead single from Detox. On the artwork, the artists’ names are placed on a hospital board that also features “Aftermath Rehab Center” and “Detox Lab.” The song will hit iTunes on January 25.
In an interview with Rap-Up TV, Alex hinted at the track’s existence, but wasn’t able to spill details at the time. “When it comes out, it will probably be the biggest song in the last 10 years,” he boldly proclaimed. |

Eminem threw up the peace sign to photographers while arriving in a black Cadillac Escalade to shoot Dr. Dre’s “I Need a Doctor” video today in downtown Los Angeles. Slim Shady joined his mentor on set for their collaboration from Dre’s Detox album. The Alex Da Kid production, which also features singer-songwriter Skylar Grey, will hit iTunes on February 1.
“When it comes out, it will probably be the biggest song in the last 10 years,” Alex previously told Rap-Up TV.
Despite Dre’s claim that the long-awaited project would drop on 4/20, his rep says otherwise.

All these Alex da Kid songs are starting to sound similar. This is like "Love the Way You Lie" for real.
Also Dr. Dre coming back with a single he didn't produce himself? LOL

 Paging Alex Da Kid. The British producer steps into the E.R. with Dr. Dre on set of “I Need a Doctor,” the Detox single which he produced. The hitmaker tweeted a pic from the shoot, chucking up the deuces and sticking his tongue out at the camera while wearing a white lab coat with a medical cap on his head.
Eminem was also snapped arriving to the L.A. set last month. Allen Hughes, the director behind Menace II Society and The Book of Eli, is at the helm.
“Doctor,” which features vocals from Skylar Grey, is shaping up to be another hit for Alex. It has already reached No. 1 on the iTunes Top Songs chart after only a few days of release.Feb 3 2011 5:36 PM EST
Eminem And Dr. Dre To Open The Grammys? Not So Fast
'Nothing is official,' a Grammy spokesperson tells MTV News after rumors pop up online.
By James Montgomery (@positivnegativ)
On Wednesday, rumors began circulating that, in an apparent attempt to top last year's show-opening Lady Gaga/ Elton John duet, organizers of the 53rd Grammy Awards had lined up an even bigger surprise for the top of this year's show: Eminem and Dr. Dre.
Yes, according to some reports, next Sunday's Grammy telecast will kick off with a tandem performance from the dynamic duo, who supposedly will rip through a pair of songs, one being "I Need a Doctor," a single from Dre's eternally delayed Detox project, and the other being a track from Eminem's Grammy-nominated Recovery album.
Some outlets even went so far as to quote an anonymous "insider," who beamed that "fans will not be disappointed ... it could be one of the most memorable Grammy moments of all time if everything goes to plan."
And, while we don't doubt the impact of a Dre/Em double-bill, we get a little suspicious when it comes to insider sources — which is why we went directly to a spokesperson for the Grammys and asked whether the rumors were true. And, for the time being at least, it sounds like everyone needs to take a deep breath.
"Nothing is official until you see a press release from The Recording Academy," the spokesperson wrote in an e-mail to MTV News. "We also often confirm and deny on our Twitter account. We will be issuing additional announcements on presenters/performers next week."
So there you have it: Nothing's official just yet. Though, it should be noted that Eminem has already been confirmed as a performer at the Grammys, which will air Sunday, February 13, at 8 pm ET/PT on CBS. And even if Em doesn't take the stage with Dre, he'll probably be in store for a big night: He's the year's most-nominated artist, after all, up for 10 Grammys, including Song and Record of the Year (for "Love the Way You Lie") and Album of the Year for Recovery. |

I didn't know that Skylar Grey is Holly Brook, lol. I really liked two or three songs from her debut album.

Skylar Grey 'Flattered' Eminem, Dr. Dre Tapped Her For Detox
'Dr. Dre has been working on it for 10 years and now I'm on a single,' breakout singer tells MTV News of Grammy night collabo.
By Jayson Rodriguez (@jayhovawitness) , with reporting by Sway Calloway (@realsway)
Skylar Grey found herself on the largest stage in music at Sunday night's Grammy Awards when she joined Eminem and Dr. Dre for the duo's "I Need a Doctor."
The Wisconsin-bred singer penned the chorus for the Alex Da Kid-produced number as well as Em's Grammy-nominated "Love the Way You Lie" featuring Rihanna. And although the veteran songwriter is used to being behind the scenes, Grey says she enjoyed her time in the spotlight.
"I was just flattered that they would involve me on such a project," she told MTV News on the Grammy red carpet. "Dr. Dre has been working on [Detox] for 10 years and now I'm on a single off of it."
Grey's profile has been increasing lately, from her exposure as the woman behind the moving chorus of "Love the Way You Lie" and T.I.'s "Castle Walls to lending her vocals to "I Need a Doctor" and being featured on Lupe Fiasco's latest single, "Words I Never Said" and Diddy-Dirty Money's "Coming Home."
She's working on her still-untitled solo debut with Alex Da Kid and the two are reaping the benefits of fusing her alt-sounding vocals with the British producer's sweeping production.
"It's just a creative experience being in the studio with different people," she said of the pair's work. "I'm not from the hip-hop world but I think that's what works for the sound that we got. The combination of the alternative chorus mixed with the hip-hop verses."

Holly Brook! She needs to call in favors from Mike Shinoda, mixing that sound they had on "Where'd You Go" would be the good way to debut!

The Doctor is in. Dr. Dre reflects on his storied career and life in the seven-and-a-half-minute video for “I Need a Doctor,” the first official single from his long-awaited album Detox. Directed by Joseph Kahn, the clip opens with the Compton rapper getting into a car accident while nostalgic images of him as a husband, father, and entertainer flash across the screen.
Years later, his loyal protégé Eminem is seen standing by his side while he remains on life support. Producer Alex Da Kid and singer-songwriter Skylar Grey make cameos as doctors who try to bring him back to life.
When he does finally awaken, Dre wastes no time getting back into shape, emerging stronger than ever. The video closes with a shot of him visiting the late Eazy-E’s grave.
