    When this "EP" leaked in 2003, it was a sign that Eminem was not on any significant decline, with gems like We Are Americans, Love You More, Bully, etc. People were hyped for Em's next project, especially after the classic we know as The Eminem Show.

    Then we got slapped hard with this 12/10 masterpiece

    In all seriousness though, what are your opinions on the tracks from the SFTL EP leak? I feel like these songs are often overlooked when talking about good songs from that era. Do you have any memory of hearing them for the first time? Were you disappointed or hyped up for the next release?

    1. Monkey See Monkey Do
    2. We Are Americans
    3. Love You More
    4. Canibitch
    5. Bully
    6. Come On In (ft. D12)
    7. Doe Rae Me (ft. D12 & Obie Trice)


    Personally, Bully is probably my favourite. I enjoy all the songs on here (and I'm glad that two of them made it to the Encore Deluxe Edition), but I wish the quality was better than it is.

    I'm pretty sure We As Americans and Love You More would have been on Encore instead of Big Weenie and a--- Like That. Could be same for Bully too.

    the difference is that the Lab EP was composed of music for a forthcoming project. Vault was no sign of direction since it was all older material. but don't get me wrong. we're all thankful you blessed us with that music. especially after teasing the "It's Been Real" snippet and saying you wouldn't put it out... then you surprised us. I was like :wow5:

    Probably would have had the one with the line reversed or maybe blanked out. Like in Rap Game when he said "When I see that little Cheney dyke get sniped out" and they blanked "Cheney"

    Can someone explain what happened? I stopped following Eminem closely for a while shortly after TES/8 Mile until Relapse so missed the whole Encore/Re-Up era. It's my understanding these were meant for Encore, this leaked, then he still tried to meet the deadline which resulted in Encore having so many s-----y songs(in combination of drugs/overall mentality). Is that accurate?

    Eminem's brother's friend stole a cd from the house, sent it to his friend, and then it got leaked

    Audio Galaxy B!

    It was aaaalll about that audio galaxy back in the days.

    03 Eminem show era man!!

    I was joined to various hiphop groups on there, and they used to just send you s---. Would leave my pc on all day Audio Galaxy running in the background, come back from college and boom... a ton of new sht and new albums to peep.

    When TES leaked.... came home one day nd then I freaked the f--- out when I realised it had leaked. Had to stop myself from playing it all because at the time, I used to try and wait for the s--- to drop officially before I had my first listen.

    I also remember when Loose yourself leaked. s--- actually came out aaaaaages before the single/video/8mile soundtrack dropped.

    MOnths before it hit radio I had that s--- stuck in my head and knew pretty much every lyric.

    Those were the days man.

    why ? Is it a crime to say you'd like to see president dead ? And I'm sure he wasn't giving a f--- if the president is alive or dead. That line was more about him wanting Bush to quit being a president. I know the media acted like it was some serious s--- like a thread to bush but media is always full of bs. Eminem ain't no gangsta or killer. And they'd probably censored that line in Encore.
