A couple questions about Em:

[Raul]

Well, I have a few questions about some points of Em's career. I am a new member and a new Em fan, so I don't know really where to look for information, and TR is GOAT, so I thought I could create a thread here on Chit-Chat.

1. How did Encore leak?
2. Were Ridaz and Session One intended to be on Relapse 2?
3. What the fuck happened in 2003-2004? Em just received an Academy Award for LY, released TES and so on... What happened on the short time between TES and Encore, that made Encore be that bad? There's no way that the answer is 'leaks', imo.
4. King Mathers was really a thing?
5. When were FACK and No Apologies recorded?
6. Why Em didn't have a verse on Doe Rae Me?

That's it. I hope that I'm not being annoying by asking these questions. Y'all probably tired of questions like these

For #4, another rapper (was it Cashis?) mentioned King Mathers, but it was never officially confirmed.

3. MY VALIUM, MY VAAAAAAAAAA-AAAL-IUUUUUUUMMMMMMM, AYYYYY!
Obviously, I thought by now that was common knowledge.

About that, I knew that he was totally mindfucking addicted on pills by this time. Only thought I would be other components to the scenery, like beefs, and other stuff.

Nonetheless, thank you for the other answers.

re:#3 all that happened was he started taking sleeping pills to keep up with the 8 mile shooting schedule, then encore was just the beginning and before you know it he's singing "balling uncontrollably" & almost pulling an elvis

No Apologies 1st verse was actually a freestyle from 2002 . So I guess the full song was recorded in 2002.
FACK probably 2005 .

I don't know if No Apologies was records in 2002, just written. You can hear his raspy 2006 voice in the song. Whew, goat song btw

1. How did Encore leak?

koolo leaked it .. he somehow got it

2. Were Ridaz and Session One intended to be on Relapse 2?

They were probagbly done around the same time as cocaine .. don't think they were actually from the original sessions with Dre

3. What the fuck happened in 2003-2004? Em just received an Academy Award for LY, released TES and so on... What happened on the short time between TES and Encore, that made Encore be that bad? There's no way that the answer is 'leaks', imo.

At the set of 8 Mile he got addicted to sleeping pills .. when the actual album process started he felt like he couldn't top the 8 Mile songs ever so he didn't even try imo .. when the leak happened he scrapped some good songs and put the shitty ones on there .. it would have been mediocre eiterway

4. King Mathers was really a thing?

Nobody knows.

5. When were FACK and No Apologies recorded?

Both were written in 2002 .. Fack was supposed to be on the 8 mile soundrack. No apologies, if I'm not wrong, hast 2 verses that are freestyles from 2002, and 2003 ?

6. Why Em didn't have a verse on Doe Rae Me?

The commander doesn't ride with the soldiers

[Raul]

Thank you, Notalius.

If any mod want to lock this thread, it's cool. I have my answers by now.

No Apologies 1st verse was actually a freestyle from 2002 . So I guess the full song was recorded in 2002.
FACK probably 2005 .

The second verse also derives from a (different) freestyle.

Exactly what I think

1. How did Encore leak?

cuz iiiiiiii aint go no leeeeeeeggs.... oooor no braiin!

2. Were Ridaz and Session One intended to be on Relapse 2?

probably initially until he decided to change his mind.

3. What the fuck happened in 2003-2004? Em just received an Academy Award for LY, released TES and so on... What happened on the short time between TES and Encore, that made Encore be that bad? There's no way that the answer is 'leaks', imo.

the 8 mile movie filming was intensive and em needed pills to be able to sleep and stay awake, so that started his full-on addiction

4. King Mathers was really a thing?

perhaps it was a quick thought but not a longstanding idea. obie probably just wanted to get attention for himself.

5. When were FACK and No Apologies recorded?

05

6. Why Em didn't have a verse on Doe Rae Me?

it was supposed to go with tupacs theme of "you aint even on my level, ill let my homies ride on your bitch ass". or it was just a promotion track for his label.
