Vinyl Record Eminem - Encore [2LP]

Marshall Bruce Mathers III, better known as Eminem, is an American rapper, music producer, songwriter, and actor. In the 2000s, he was the best-selling artist in the United States. Throughout his career, he released 11 albums that reached number one on the Billboard 200 and had five singles top the Billboard Hot 100. With 45.1 million albums and 42 million tracks sold in the U.S. as of June 2014, Eminem is the second best-selling male artist of the Nielsen SoundScan era, the sixth best-selling artist in the U.S. overall, and the best-selling hip-hop artist. Rolling Stone included him in their list of the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time, calling him the King of Hip-Hop.

Encore is Eminem's fifth studio album, released on November 12, 2004. It was initially intended to be his farewell album, as emphasized by the cover, title, and some of the lyrics. The album combines political satire (especially aimed at President George W. Bush), parodies of Michael Jackson and Christopher Reeve, and disses aimed at rappers Benzino, Canibus, and Ja Rule. Despite its comedic tone, "Encore" was criticized for its weak middle portion, although the songs "Like Toy Soldiers" and "Mockingbird" were highly praised. The album was nominated for a Grammy, certified 4× Platinum by the RIAA, and sold 11 million copies worldwide. Eminem later called it one of his worst releases, attributing this to leaked tracks before the release that had to be quickly replaced, as well as his struggle with addiction at the time.
