Was Go To Sleep supposed to be on Encore?

[Supershade]

Yeah would be interesting to find out

Was Go To Sleep supposed to be on Encore?

It was recorded for the Cradle To The Grave soundtrack, don't really see it being possible that he wanted to include it on Encore.

Oh yeah its playing at the start of the movie? Totally forgot about that

I like the ABBA rhyme scheme.

Awesome track.

You can switch out No Apologies with Encore if you don't feel like editing the end. I actually took the time to do it.

EDIT: I'm pondering on adding Go To Sleep, Nail In the Coffin, and Stimulate. I dare say such a tracklisting can make this album classic material....

''No apologies'' wasn't done for the ''Encore'' batch, not just that but like a year after the album dropped. ''Go to sleep'' & ''Stimulate'' weren't in that batch or the process when EM was doing the album as well.

All the tracks from ''Straight from the vault'' were from Encore batch though... & ''Nail in the coffin'' & ''The sause'' were recorded during the process of ''Encore''s sessions even though done separately for a reason that wasn't in the plan for the album.
Em said some tracks leaked & that's why they weren't on the album so few of the ''Straight for the vault'' have even been close to make the cut... two made it as bonuses on the deluxe edition.
Imagine how many more good songs were recorded in the time EM was beefing with everybody.

I love the ''Encore'' era & if Em put some of those on the album & if he picked his singles differently the album would've been with a different status right now.

Does anyone have a good download link for Bully they can PM me? I just realized the only version I have is some edited version I made years ago.

You can always find the real version on YT then use an audio ripping site.

I've read that the first 2 verses of No Apologies were written before Encore was released and that he added the last one for the Re-Up. I know Stimulate was written/recorded back in 2002, but he could've held onto it for Encore, it's not like Em doesn't hold onto songs for 2-3 years before throwing them on albums.
I know Go To Sleep was on the Cradle to the Grave soundtrack and the movie was released a little over a year before Encore, but damn, a DMX feature on an EM album would've been classic. I know that Shady/Aftermath was riding the 50 Cent/G-Unit buzz in 2003, but with the amount of quality material that Em wrote during that time period, there is no doubt we would've had a classic album. It's a damn shame.
I'm going make a thread in which we can discuss alternate tracklistings for Encore, in an attempt to come up with the most realistic.

Nah man, EM never uses songs from different batches & always scraps the old material... ''Beautiful'' is only one ever & he said it was by exception exactly 'cuz he scrapped a whole album prior to ''Relapse''... he wanted it on ''Relapse'' too 'cuz he wanted to pay homage to Detroit with it, which he did. He's learned that from Dre, they make a big batch for any album... whatever makes the cut goes in, the rest goes in the vault & they never fuck with it again for new albums.

''No apologies'' was done after ''Encore'' for sure... it's a great song but EM's vocals are low cuz of the situation he was getting in after ''Encore''. No chance for ''Stimulate'' & ''Go to sleep''. I love DMX too but this song doesn't fit in there 'cuz of their methods for sure.

Apart the ones we don't know about, the ones you could realistically use could be the ''Straight from the lab'' tracks & ''NITC'' & ''The Sause'' who were outta the batch but right in the middle of the process.

Yeah the album could have been a stone cold classic & it's not too late for them to re release it with just adding some of them songs into the track list but they never do that. I would not even remove one song, they all fit in even though some people never understood them, the album just needs a few of them to be added to balance out the other ish.

The most realistic one is the one that came out in 2004

You're probably the 154th guy who is doing this.

[Eedee]

Am I the only one who just doesn't like this song? That sing-song delivery/flow pisses me off a little bit. It's dope, yes, but fucking shit. Stahp.

Don't worry, I'm not very keen on this track either

I'll take Nail In The Coffin any day over this
