Curtain Call

Track #1 from Curtain Call: The Hits.

(11/12/2004) (Encore releases) (12/XX/2004) (Work on a Encore follow up starts but ends before the AM3 tour) (08/18/2005) (Eminem checks into rehab for the first time and the 2005 album is scrapped)

OG Filename: 4.6.05 Antichrist Older version of Antichrist. This version is a diss track targeting Michael Jackson, and was considered for Curtain Call. Mostly the same as the 2003 version apart from the third verse. Joe Strange said Em "didn't want anybody hearing it" due to the extreme content. Part of the first verse was reused for Renaissance on TDOSS. Leaked by The Soul Intent Enthusiast as part SFTL3. Full lossless is in circulation. Joe Strange also shared the second verse's lyric sheet, which appears in a December 2003 Eminem photoshoot.

Originally released on the Anger Management 3 mixtape, but only like half of it. Was later leaked in full and without tags by Koolo. Obie's first verse repeats once, as it was being used as a placeholder while he was still writing a second verse.

After Encore released, Em began working on another album, mainly about the negative reception of Encore. This album had around 16 tracks planned for it. No name, art or planned tracklist existed for it, just a loose selection of songs that were eventually given away or vaulted once the album was scrapped. Not much else is known about this album. This album would eventually stop being worked on fairly early in development, after he went to rehab in August of 2005.

Track #2 on Curtain Call: The Hits. The original name for FACK was "Richard Gere" but it was changed because of a possible lawsuit as stated in "Slim Shady vs. Marshall Mathers: THE FACE-OFF | Complex Cover".

From before Eminem hopped on it. Has tags, slightly different mixing. From before the Anger Management 3 tour ended. This is proven as the hook was sampled on the intro of the Anger Management 3 mixtape. Later on, in the title track, Em says "if you leave the show and you don't got one of these CDs." Untagged is in circulation.

Leaked by Funk Flex. Was meant to appear on The Big Bang but was removed after it leaked.

Song revealed by an info dumper, along with some lyrics to the song. From December 2004 / January 2005. [Partial Verse 1] "I got my gat back, semi automatic Smith n Wesson And I only bring him out on special occasion When the situation gets a little too stressful And it feels like my five feet of space is being invaded Back by motherfucking demand man I’m so god damn sick of these half ass raps from these whack ass acts We conduct the pace, you gon need some fucking duct tape, to reconstruct your face" [Partial Verse 2] "I got my gat back, semi automatic Smith n Wesson Yes indeed if you were guessing there’s the answer to your question My suggestion if you walk in my direction Your chest better have a motherfucking vest on it unless you got a death wish I already been arrested twice for guns in my possession Plus I got these county cats that I can spit four bars for em on a song, and you’ll be dead next"

Skit that leads into Antichrist V3, got reused 8 years later in "Rhyme or Reason" and "Evil Twin". Was re-exported on November 2nd, 2008, likely for the Relapse version of the song. Leaked by The Soul Intent Enthusiast as part of SFTL3. Full lossless is in circulation.

Track #6 on Curtain Call: The Hits. Has a slightly longer outro compared to the original release.
