Would you believe that when this album came out, on Eminem message boards (obviously this was before Reddit, Twitter, even Facebook), there was a large contingent of people that thought that Em was trolling us, and that the REAL Encore album was gonna be released after this one, and this one was just to throw people off... sadly that wasn't the case, but it just shows how confused fans were back then when this dropped. Obviously now, with the hindsight of knowing Eminem was pretty deep into his drug addiction during the recording of this album, it's easier to understand how half of the album is so bad. Also some of the album leaked before release (Love You More, We As Americans), which made Em have to go back and record new songs to replace the leaked ones, which is where many of the sillier songs came from.

Some of the songs on this album got leaked (they actually appear on the deluxe edition as bonus tracks) … which led to a drug filled Eminem to quickly record new songs that were noticeably different and more goofy than the other songs on the album (rain man was one of the songs recorded after the leak)

[@bootyjiggle5695]

You can tell which were made before and after the leaks. Puke, rain man, 1st single, and big weenie are all post leaks because the beat is so simple, like way too plain for a dre beat and em just spoke gibberish the entire time. Like if the my first single beat had more production time it could’ve been an amazing beat

[@_.-_Crimpy-_..-.]

Eminem is capable of writing/making some of the best songs ever written and is also capable of writing/making some of the worst rap songs to ever exist (sometimes both are on the same album). He has a strange discography. I remember reading that he was always on drugs when recording this album, but there was a leak that led to him scrapping many songs. The songs he replaced them with were horrendous (those songs are the worst songs on this album). Those leaked songs weren’t amazing or anything, but they were much better than the ones he replaced them with.

[@asadfarooque786]

I heard him say this but I doubt it. If a bunch of songs leaked and he had to make new songs in a short time to fill the track list, those leaked songs should still be out on the internet. I don't know where those "leaked songs" went

[@Offszn]

I could be wrong but if I remember correctly I think this album got leaked and it forced Em to have to finish the album quick and release it and probably lined up with him getting addicted to drugs. That’s why songs like Mockingbird and Like Toy Soldiers which are classics were probably recorded before the leak and before the addiction got bad and then when he had to just finish it to release he made such songs as Big Weenie, My 1st Single, etc while dealing with his addiction and you can hear it in his voice.

[@HEYitzED]

This album is so frustrating because it really could’ve been his best had he not gotten so deep into his addiction while working on it. When you listen to some of the earliest songs recorded during the Encore sessions such as We As Americans, Love You More, and Bully, he was going in a really good and dark direction. Sadly those songs leaked and he replaced them with some of the more jokey songs on the record and it just completely threw off the vibe of the album. More songs like those leaked ones and this album would’ve been yet another classic for him.

[@SpiderJAAM]

*The context of Yellow Brick Road & the whole controversy:* It's that when Em was a teenager he got his heart broken by a black chick and as any angry teenager he got pissed off and made a really awful song saying "black girls are bitches and they only want your money" obviously it's was stupid and when Benzino made that song public to attack Em's image, Eminem apologized, surprise people grow and learn from their mistakes.

[@coreynewman3429]

Most people don’t know this, but he said recently on a podcast that most this album was leaked at the time. And they had to scramble for new songs last minute. It was said the original track list was much different and more serious. I believe this was him on the Paul Rosenberg podcast he said it.

[@_.-_Crimpy-_..-.]

The songs that were leaked were included as bonus tracks on the deluxe. The other two were bully and monkey see monkey do (I think). Those were good.

I feel like people forget they enjoy Eminems more recent stuff as soon as they hear older songs (bc almost all reactors that listen to older albums comment on and compare new vs old Eminem and heavily criticize the new music.) Many, such as this channel, actually do enjoy f.e. MTBMB a lot. Dont mean to sound super stanish (and i also get many of the criticism) but to me its weird how people seemingly spin new stuff one time, enjoy it and then forgot about it. But you at least did put Things into perspective f.e. the age and rage Factor. To me its has always been high vs sober, not new vs old Eminem. Cant wait for your Revival Run, Castle is in my top Eminem Songs!

I see people often point to this as the worst Eminem album (and it is bad), but it still has some songs that I think go down in the Eminem hall of fame. However I can’t say the same for some of his newer stuff. Kamikaze isn’t egregiously bad but I wouldn’t put any of its songs in his hall of fame. MTBMB Side B, in my opinion, is his worst album. It’s just unremarkable. No matter how bad his albums have been before, I never found them boring or forgettable, but a lot of his newer stuff has fallen into that category for me. Hope Em has a King’s Disease level resurgence in him but I’m not sure anymore

I Think encore was more bad to the point were the album is a funny listen. Same cant be Said for the others though. Like toy soldiers, mockingbird and wellow brick Road are amazing songs though. Music to be m by b side is horrible though, apart from Zeus which is pretty good and gnat which is bad until the beat switches and then it actually sounds incredible.

[@simonbright2975]

MTBMB Side B is not an album, but as deluxe it's also definitely better than all the terrible songs on Encore. Alfred's Theme is such a banger. Some of the sounds and lyrics on Encore are literally ear-bleeding bad.

Don’t care what anyone says this album is still really good and I like the silly songs there are supposed to be that way and still tea good not everything has to be serious and amazing and it’s definitely better than his new shit with his old man flow

[@edejay6507]

As others have pointed out already this album would've been waaay better if it wasn't for all the leaks that led to him scrapping some songs and replacing them last minute with all the worst songs on this album. It wouldn't have been quite on the level The Eminem Show was but still pretty great. I recommend looking up playlists with all the leaks that make Encore what it should have been. Some of the leaked songs are also on the deluxe edition of Encore and they're all really good. Wish the label wouldn't have cared about the leaks and just release the album the way it was supposed to be

[@mezmerize679]

This is one of the only albums where I actually really want a 20th anniversary version of. But I would want it to be basically the original track list before the leaks happened.

[@LikwidEMP3]

Yeah, if you to Genius, Eminem has an account on there and comments on some of his song lyrics. On most of the songs from Encore he says he was too pilled up and barely remembers recording some tracks. The bonus edition that contains the songs We As Americans and I Love You More are amazing though. Those 2 tracks alone are better than the album as a whole, in my opinion. Love those 2 tracks.

[@genosis-417]

Fr?

[@cianthulu4204]

Yellow Brick Road is the best on the album for me.

[@jessesfilms1269]

its crazy this album gets so much hate like you don't expect anything good from it but 50 percent of the songs are fire

[@DJTylerD99]

It's very uneven to listen to. I didn't enjoy it and had to skip about 5 times tbh

[@AngelRivera-de1lq]

Cant wait for revival 😂

[@GodlessFiend]

Fun fact: this was the very first album that got me into being an Em Fan Edit: can’t believe it’s been almost 20 yrs since, so since I was late 12 early 13, im turning 31 next month

[@gabrielsobrosa]

This album is like: - wow thats Fire - damn thats bad - damn thats one the best song ever - wow what a unlistenable piece of garbage

[@jamiemccolgan2172]

I think alot of this album got leaked before it's released and em just filled the voids with any old song
