Spend Some Time

Anyone know where the sample in this track comes from, or if its even a sample in the first place? --Kiand 12:01, 25 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

What the...

Eh, I think its really, really obvious that this album is called "Encore", not "3ncore", despite the reversed E. --Kiand 18:29, 20 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I think we should just let the title be "3NCORE" since the "E" is reversed, not to mention, the title "Encore (album)" takes up more namespace. --SuperDude 20:16, 21 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The E may be reversed, but its not a three. --Kiand 20:45, 21 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The text at [www.eminem.com] describes the album as "Encore". So do all other reputable sources I can find. I'm moving it back. Christopher Parham (talk) 16:53, 22 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The reversed "E" is just a part of Eminem's trademark. It makes as much sense to call his own article "Emin3m". The name of this album, therefore, is Encore, not 3ncore. Use your common sense. 2Pac 19:43, 1 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Rap or Hip-hop Dispute

People, when you make a page on Eminem. Remember he's a rap artist. Not hip hop.

How silly can you get? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 202.173.173.4 (talk • contribs) .

Rap is the same as hip-hop music. Don't get it twisted, newbie. jglc | t | c 09:06, 29 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

no it isn't, and newbie makes you sound like an uptight runescpae nerding bastarding prick Rubberchix 12:55, 23 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

As far as Wikipedia is concerned, Rap music is Hip-hop. If you feel like the two subjects need splitting, head over to Talk:Hip hop music and make your case there. Also, calling peoples newbies or "uptight runescpae nerding bastarding prick" is not really polite, or appropriate for a resource like Wikipedia. Hippoking 16:24, 28 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Rap is by no means the same thing as hip-hop. Although the media tries to sell it off as the same thing, it's not. Hip-hop is a culture or movement that began in the streets. Rap is the music of that culture. Hip-hop itself is not a form of music. Hip-hop consists of rap (among other things), breakdancing, and different styles of dressing and slang.

hip hop iz a type of music, not the same as rap. ur all idiotz. - kozmic|sk8r 23:23, 5 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You're all forgetting that the meanings of words evolve as people use them. Although "hip hop" may have once referred to a broad social movement encompassing the musical genre of "rap," it is now synonymous with rap as it is used in the context of music. Enough of the anti-commercial dingbats saying "hip hop" and "rap" aren't the same; even if hip hop didn't specifically denote a genre of music, rap is a subset of hip hop, and so if Eminem is a rap artist, he is also a hip-hop artist by default. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.92.109.56 (talk) 21:08, 3 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Rap is the vocal part of the music, hip hop the instrumental part. Dr Dre makes the music for Eminem's music, making Eminem a rap artist, since he only supplies the vocals. Bane II (talk) 23:16, 6 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Unencyclopedic

Does anyone else think this article sounds more like a review (especially the "Tracks" Section) than an encyclopedia article? L3th4l 19:52, 16 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It is original research. I will remove it as such until the contrib relists with citations. Daemon8666 19:53, 26 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Tracks

Section is NOT cited, is NOT encyclopedic in nature, and is entirely comprised of original research. Do not add again unless proper citations have been added to make the article's accuracy apparent.Daemon8666 20:02, 29 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

OK, but the actual FACTS from these sections should be taken out and put under a trivia section.

There are no facts until there are cited sources.Daemon8666 06:45, 1 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

did eminem really do that stuff that the book inside the album said?

i don't believe he did but i just wanna prove 2 my ~~friend~~ he didn't.

Yes, he did, actually -He ck XX (G,W,U,V) 23:38, 9 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

ok idiot if he did why isn't he in jail? - kozmic|sk8r 10:14, 21 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If he really shot all those people you would hear about it on the news, and if really did it he would no longer be alive and he is alive. And I doubt there would be a photographer at the scene taking pictures, and this also is'nt a posthumous album. The artwork was just a way to show people that even though Eminem has toned himself down he still has evil thoughts on his mind! The shooting is fictional and never happened in the first place! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.171.37.115 (talk) 19:37, 2 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

question about word usage

I read this phrase in the introduction "due to the leakage of the album on the Internet." I thought that was an extremely awkward and possibly incorrect use of the word "leakage". I don't recall ever having heard the word leakage used like this; it does not mean "the state of being leaked", it refers to more of a process of leaking, and the "leak" of intellectual property is generally considered to be a one-time event>> It hasn't leaked, it leaked then, it has leaked. You wouldn't say "it is leaking". So I'm changing the word. 216.164.51.162 (talk) 23:16, 14 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

you know you don't have to talk like that 202.76.158.8 (talk) 07:45, 13 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

CERTIFICATIONS??

Encore was certified 5x in new zeland...5x in US..nd 3x in UK i guess.....Can anyone please put up the certifications on the main page . —Preceding unsigned comment added by Asid12345678 (talk • contribs) 09:03, 11 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Unsourced material

The following is unsourced information:

On Eminem's official website track seven of this album was listed as "Christopher Reeves", yet it was removed and all songs before track seven are moved down one number. Apparently there was a song ready about Christopher Reeve but due to his death it was taken off the album. And to prevent leakage on the Internet, Eminem ordered Aftermath Entertainment producers to destroy all recorded copies of the song.

The skits "Paul" and "Em Calls Paul" discuss Michael Jackson's anger at the music video for "Just Lose It." In "Em Calls Paul," Eminem's response references much of Jackson's work and his personal life:

“

Aye yo Paul, It's Em. I got your call about the Michael Jackson thing, and I know that he's not thrilled about the video. What, does he wanna be startin' somethin'? Well I'll show him who's really bad. Paul, the way you make me feel with these calls, you should really take a look at the man in the mirror and tell him to beat it because I won't stop till I get enough. Do you remember the time we were watching the "Billie Jean" video? Well he'll always be that Michael for me, and it doesn't matter if he's black or white because I Just can't stop loving him and I hate plastic surgeons and I hope they all fucking die! How do you like that? And I like him, I like him a lot. I want to touch him, but I can't...

”

While this is interesting, we can't use it unless you provide a source. Also, none of this is really trivia, as trivia by its definition is "unimportant information" - it therefore shouldn't be in a trivia section but instead the information should be incorporated into the main article. - Tbsdy lives (formerly Ta bu shi da yu) ^talk 10:52, 14 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"The year 2004 saw the release of Eminem's fourth major album, Encore. It sold over 600,000 copies in its first week of release. Now being certified 7 times platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Selling over 15 million worldwide. With 7.8 million being sold in the United States." - this is taken from the Encore paragraph on the 'Eminem' wiki page.. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.4.17.241 (talk) 14:57, 16 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

15 million worldwide

The year 2004 saw the release of Eminem's fourth major album, Encore. It sold over 700,000 copies in its first week of release. Now being certified 7 times platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Selling over 15 million worldwide. With 7.8 million being sold in the United States. The album was another chart-topper, as it was driven by the single "Just Lose It"

First of all, these claims are completely false. Secondly you don't have a source to back them up. If you make any of these phony changes I will revert them. It sold 5.1 in the U.S. and is certified 5x Platinum, not 7, and has sold over 11 million copies not 15.--Petergriffin9901 (talk) 05:38, 16 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Critical Response

i think more should be mentioned of the critical response of Encore —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.214.129.15 (talk) 05:18, 16 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Song writers?

An alternate album cover for Encore?!?!

Okay, I just went to the "Edit" page of the article and I found that some amateur tried to add an alternate cover to the infobox. Because there is no alternate cover for this album, I deleted that but something said "Template:Extra list" because I tried to fix the list of songles after I removed the amateur cover bug. Any help? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.101.221.8 (talk) 20:06, 2 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I added it. I am not an amateur. It is the special edition cover and you can find it on these websites

That cover is for the deluxe edition and according to these websites that sell that album the cover does exist. Next time make sure another cover doesn't exist before you go to try and delete it and don't call people amateurs. CFP2016 (talk) 19:59, 26 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Censorship of the censorship section

At the risk of sounding sound prudish, is it really necessary to cite an exhaustive list of all the naughty words that were censored or changed for radio versions? Whatever the point was of including that information was adequately made with an example or two, without simply becoming a childish list. I'll bet whoever "contributed" all that is very amused that he/she got away with adding all that profanity to this global resource. Smratguy (talk) 00:55, 3 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
