Eminem-encore
 

many are critical of this album but it is one where eminems lyrics and rhymes are very strong. in this album he shows he has improved as a rapper.

track 2-"EVIL DEEDS" talkin about his past with his mum and how his dad abondoned him which made him do evil deeds. well written and good beat to emphasise it. 7/10

track 3 which is 'NEVER ENOUGH" features nate dogg and 50. The standout is Eminems verse as he keeps it on the same rhyme scheme and flows it fluently. 8.5/10

Track 4-"YELLOW BRICK ROAD" another track about his past. this one focusing on his school life and also how he went out wif a black gurl because she liked his rappin. very heartfelt and lyrics strong here. 7.5/10

track 5-"LIKE TOY SOLDIERS" we have all heard this and its all about beef in the rap industry and how it should stop. good sample. 8/10

track 6-"MOSH" at political stab at george bush is very well crafted and written. the opening lines of verse one hit hard. verse 3 claims the bin laden tapes are all fake and mentions if he gets sniped its because he told us to fight against bush. great track. 8.5/10

track 7-'PUKE' a track which has a 'no-feeling' about it. he claims he pukes everytime he thinks of a person, which obviously is kim. average track. 5/10

track 8-"MY FIRST SINGLE"a fast rhythmic clutting beat. very funny track where disses many people like christopher reeves, paris and nicky hilton and also about her porn vid, mark ferman and more. 6/10

track 9-"PAUL CALLS EM" a real answering machine message where em's manager tells him that michael jackson is upset about the just lose it video.

track 10" RAIN MAN" an obvious mock of christopher reeves and a very funny track. verse 1 is very strong and em's rhyme scheme is on top of its game. very dope beat, probably slim shady's best track ever. 8/10

track 11"BIG WEENIE" a slim shady track here, quite funny. goodish track. 6.5/10

track 12"EM CALLS PAUL" eminem talks in a robotic almost christopher reeves-like voice here. he jokes and says how much he loves michael jackson in a sexual way.

track 13"JUST LOSE IT" nothing to say here. a stab at michael and you've seen the clip to know its funny. 6.5/10

track 14"ASS LIKE THAT" he talks about all the nice asses of famous celebrities such as jessica simpson, olsen twins, gwen stefani and hilary duff. mentions pee wee herman and arnold swachzennagger too. hilarious, enough said. 6/10

track 15"SPEND SOME TIME" features obie trice,stat quo and 50 cent. all of them talkin about a past love and how sex was all they wanted. good sample. 7.5/10

track 16"MOCKINGBIRD" a marshall mathers song to his daughter and neice hailie and laney. well flowed. 7.5/10

track 17"CRAZY IN LOVE" uses a sample very well. goodish beat. strong flow,technique and rhyme scheme in this track. very well flowed is the line:

'like a devil in disguise, you're always full of surprises"
always pulling devices out your purse, little vibrators"

you need to hear it to see what i mean. 8/10

track 18"ONE SHOT 2 SHOT" a very good D-12 track here. good beat. a track about all of them being at some function and then a rival clique carshes the party. theres humour to make this one of the best D12 tracks ever made. u need to hear it. very good. 8.5/10

track 19"FINAL THOUGHT" a skit where you can hear him loading a gun and the crowd chanting his name.

track 20"ENCORE". very catchy, good track featuring Dr. Dre and 50 cent. 50 just backup sings the chorus wit em while dre and eminem spit the verses in partnership. it talks about how eminem doesen't want to leave the rap game wit out sayin goodbye. also a hint that after a long break eminem and dr. dre will co-host an album in late 2006, early 2007. so look out for that. 7.5/10

a very good album and in my opinion just beats "THE EMINEM SHOW". a lot of you guys hate this album but you nedd to listen between the lines. when i listen to albums one of the main things for me are the ill, skilled and unique rhymes. 'NEVER ENOUGH', 'MOSH', 'LIKE TOY SOLDIERS', 'CRAZY IN LOVE', 'YELLOW BRICK ROAD all emphazised this. his lyrics are ver good, the way he plays with words and every syllable is unbelievable in some lines of his verses. And he doesn't rap abt any shit, hes always based a track on telling a story. as a lyricist, eminem is up there with the likes of Rakim, Kanye West, Jadakiss, Jay-Z. He could even top that list.

one more thing
 

track 1"CURTAINS UP" a skit almost the same to track 19. the crowd making noise and him fidgeting wit a gun. it leads in to "EVIL DEEDS" very nicely.

this is the worst album i have ever heard

^^agreed that was his worse album he ever put out when I first listened to it I had to turn it off cuz it was garbage he could have done better with the album.

That pretty much puts your thought process on the same level as a mentally retarded person.

No, this CD is pretty much garbage.

^Co-signed......

liked this cd. but not his best at alll

I only enjoyed a couple of songs on it...

"Mosh" and "Like Toy Soldiers" were the ones that stood out more for me.

Rainman was good...but ehh...Slim Shady is a thing of the past.

I actually loved rainman. You know why?

CAUSE I AINT GOT NO LAYGS!!!

WOw...this review can't be for real.The guy has be joking here...

Yeah I liked the album. Do you have an inkling on why he still sold alot? Its been eating at me :)

The shit that was the bonus disc had been releases on other shit prior to the CD. That shit wasn't new. And you're right, the Marshall Mathers LP was better, so was Infinite, so was Slim Shady EP, Slim Shady LP, the fucking Eminem Show. So, I've come to the conclusion that Encore pretty much sucked.

Track 2 was ill. Momma had a babby and its heaad poppped off head popped offf. Lolll

i loved the beats off it except My 1st Single that one was annoying...but eminem was completely wack....there was a few good songs and the rest was straight up garbage..i dont think em lost his talent but i just think he matured and settled down since he's gettin past his younger years and thats why the yellow brick road, toy soldiers, and mosh ended up bein so good cuz hes revealing more of his real side there...slim shady is pretty much what limited edition said...its a thing of the past..its of how he USED ta be...and em probably gon be better again in the future knowin that he must realize that and thats why he put an end to the slim shady ego with when im gone..so i aint giving up my respect for him but i just think this is a part of his career where he's struggling with himself...but that my opinion

The only song good on this album was "Like Toy Soldiers" in fact thats the only song ive ever liked by eminem after the slim shady lp. He keeps getting worse with every album he puts out. IN MY OPINION

yea encore is not a great album. everyone knows his old shit was the best, back when he battled and shit. But ima still pick up curtain call!

it's fashionable for people to hate on Em, and yes, 'Encore' was hella disappointin', but he rides a beat better than the majority of the world's emcees...

The dude has straight skill, and people who deny that don't understand the art of rhymin', PERIOD.

one

yeah I can see why people dont see it with shit like
"my bum is on your lips my bum is on your lips and if im lucky u might just give it a little kiss"

or shit like

"mama had a baby and its head popped off head popped off head popped off"

Ill say hes got some real nice lyrics but shit like that is why I cant stand that kid

yea this album was his worst, i personally think his infinite and mmlp are his best ever!......

^^Naw man this is a nice album, i mean some of tha lyrics to some of tha songs arent great but some of that shit is nice as fuck,"There used to be a time, when you could jus say a rhyme, and wouldnt have to worry about, one of ya ppl dyin" that shit is nice...anyway...word...1

I really gotta agree with Mim on this... this album was really a waste of talent... with the acception of like 4 tracks... this shit was terrible...

encore = eminems worst album.. BUT.. still better then half the other shit released in 05.. lol..

over all ide give it a 8/10, cause i mean, he isnt fallin off, he just tryin a new style, and i respect him for tryna make a new style of hip hop, and wiether u think these songs were wack or not

NONE of you could do a song like this, he just got that wierd style were he can do it n still make it some what hot

Somethin To Prove
 

pussy whipped ass white boyz need to stop makin music this cracker had some street credit until he went along and married a fiend out ass hoe

i gota say i prefer listenin to Martika - Toy Soldiers than this entire album...........

granted it had a couple hot songs but em is takin tha piss cuz hes so rich and all his sales were goin to kids

there was some alright songs in the album, some sick beats...the album i'd give a 6/10
he was better back in the day...

LMAO @ Rainman being his best track ever

U find me offensive? I find u offensive for findin me offensive! RAINMAIN IS HOT.

Nah, fo' real tho...My favorite track off that album is "Like Toy Soldiers"
