Encore Tracklist: Eminem

– A breath of fresh air. A mature song about loneliness. Helpful use: Play this after “Puke” to remember Eminem can actually sing.

– The lead single. A parody of Michael Jackson. Goofy, dated, but catchy. Mia: “This got him sued. But compare the energy to ‘Toy Soldiers.’ He’s manic.” Act III: The Hangover & The Classics (Tracks 14–20) 14. “Ass Like That” – The bottom. Weird accents, sex jokes, cartoon noises. Leo calls it “unlistenable.” Mia agrees. “He hit rock bottom in the booth.” eminem encore tracklist

Leo nods. Mia walks him through the tracklist. 1. “Curtains Up” (skit) – The stage is set. A shaky director yells “Encore!” But the star is exhausted. – A breath of fresh air

– The relapse. Back to obsessive love for Kim. Dark, but well-produced. Compare to ‘Stan’ – same genius, less patience. – The lead single

“Pop it in. But don’t listen like a normal album. Listen like a story. A tragedy in three acts. Ready?”

– The real Marshall Mathers raps. He’s rich, sober(ish), but guilty. He sets the theme: “I’ve done evil deeds.” Helpful note: This is the album’s thesis – fame’s hangover.

“Exactly. Encore is the sound of a genius falling asleep at the wheel. Half brilliant, half bedtime. But even a sleepy Eminem writes ‘Mockingbird.’ Now you know the story.”
