Straight from the Lab, is a 2003 bootleg mixtape consisting of previously unreleased songs by Eminem. The songs on the mixtape were scheduled to be released the following year on Eminem's fifth studio album, Encore.
If those hadn't leaked, Encore would've been a much different album. "We as Americans," "Love You More," a lot of songs ended up on the bonus disc because they leaked and that disappointed me. So, I had to start over, which felt like a mountain I had to climb. You climb half the mountain, and then all of a sudden, you get knocked back down. "We as Americans" was going to start the album, then "Bully." "Evil Deeds" was in there. If that would've been on Encore and the other couple songs that leaked, to me it would've been right there with The Eminem Show as far as its caliber.[3]
