Trivia

• “Encore” was released as a vinyl-exclusive retail single. Because the records were labeled as promotional copies, the release is often mistakenly categorized as a promotional single, despite selling enough copies to reach No. 13 on Billboard’s Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles Sales chart and No. 33 on the UK Hip-Hop & R&B Singles Chart, which at the time functioned as a physical-sales-only chart.
• The album version includes an attached skit, “Curtains,” performed by Eminem. On digital platforms, “Curtains” has since been retitled “Curtains Down.”

Words from Eminem

“

Saying we’re going to make Dre do [Detox]? We’re pushing it, man. We’re trying to get him to do it. We got to get that. We got to get him amped up. […] Hopefully shooting my fans at the end didn’t put a little damper on that. But, you know, that was my way of saying, wherever we’re going next, I’m taking you with me.
