Track Information
1) "Monkey See, Monkey Do" - nowhere except this EP was published. The song is a diss for all of Eminem’s enemies, but he does not mention anyone’s names. In outro, Eminem says: “This aint chess. Ya playin 'motherfuckin' checkers. This shit is all day man its too easy. We playin 'chess, you playin' checkers! ”, Which is a hint of diss rapper Jadakiss “ Checkmate ”.
2) "We As Americans" - will later be included in the Encore bonus disc. This song caught the attention of the FBI for the words: "Fuck money I don't rap for dead presidents / I'd rather see the president dead." In the Encore version, “dead” is creaked, and we hear “head”.
3) “Love You More” (another name is “The More You Put Me Through”) - will also appear on the Encore bonus disc. A song about the complex relationship of Eminem and his ex-wife Kim Mathers.
4) “Can-I-Bitch” - a comedy diss on rapper Canibus , with whom Eminem has a long-standing feud.
5) “Bully” - a diss on Benzino, a former editor of the hip-hop magazine The Source . Benzino (real name Ray Scott) is probably Eminem's main enemy. Scott first started the beef . Eminem sings rather than reads in this song.
6) “Come On In” - will later be on the D12 album “ D12 World ” , with only slightly changed music. In the D12 World album, this song is called “6 In The 1 Morning”.
7) "Doe Rae Me" is a diss on Ja Rule , recorded together with Obi Trice and D12. Eminem's daughter Hayley Jade speaks in intro and outro songs. Eminem himself doesn’t read the song, but he sings a chorus and sometimes shouts phrases like: “Gonna shoot the shit outa you little fucking midgets, Hailie will whip your motherfucking asses”.
Sometimes included in EP
