A treasure trove of unreleased Eminem tracks has leaked online, igniting excitement and debate within the fan community.

A massive leak has given Eminem fans access to 14 unreleased tracks, quickly earning the unofficial title “Straight from the Lab Vol. 3”. Spanning multiple phases of Eminem’s career, the collection provides a fascinating glimpse into his creative process while also reigniting ethical debates about leaks

One interesting track is an alternate version of Eminem’s “Antichrist” from his latest album, The Death of Slim Shady. On the unofficial version, he compares himself to Michael Jackson, rapping: “If I don’t stay a step ahead of Michael, I go psycho / He’s like an alter ego so where ever he goes, I go / Ain’t afraid to take it there, babies laying naked there, running around everywhere, wearing nothing but underwear / Yeah, I’m back more Neverland than I’ve ever been / Little boys 11, never been to the Netherlands / How’d you like to come and spend a day with Marshall Matthers? / Share some cotton candy, ice cream and Carmel apples.”

Here is the leaked tracks list:
1. Marshall Powers
2. Love Drunk
3. Twisted Freestyle
4. Sociopath (Is This Love OG)
5. I’m Sorry/Seasons
6. Follow Me (feat. Nate Dogg)
7. Key to My Room
8. Trade Off (Slaughterhouse feat. Eminem)
9. Jump Out (Dr. Dre, ref. Eminem)
10. Ritz
11. Freak (feat. Anderson .Paak & Boogie)
12. Take It
13. Antichrist

The tracks stem from a wide range of eras, with some dating back to “The Eminem Show” and “Encore”, while others are tied to “Relapse”, “Revival”, and “Music to Be Murdered By”. A few songs even connect to projects like the scrapped 2015 “Glass House” album from Slaughterhouse or Dr. Dre’s long-rumoured “Detox”.

Some tracks, like “Marshall Powers”, originally meant as a “Kamikaze” opener, were cut for their controversial content. In contrast, others reveal the evolution of familiar bars later reworked into official songs. For example, “Fall” contains early lines from “Twisted”, and parts of “Antichrist” later surfaced in “Rhyme or Reason” and “Evil Twin”. On the other hand, it is clear why some of those songs were not meant to see the light of the day. Certain lines are incredibly offensive and explore the darkest corners of his alter ego’s twisted mind.

The leak has divided the fanbase. Many die-hard fans appreciate the insight into Eminem’s creative process, marvelling at how discarded ideas evolved into finished tracks. Others, loyal to Eminem’s disdain for leaks, refuse to engage with the material, respecting his artistic integrity.

Eminem’s history with leaks has been fraught — albums like “The Eminem Show”, “Relapse”, “Revival”, and, especially, “Encore” were disrupted by unauthorised releases. In the case of “Encore” it lead to scrapped songs, re-recordings, and rushed release. However, recent leaks have mostly included older, abandoned material that does not threaten his current projects.

As fans dive into these unearthed tracks, the debate rages on: should these “scraps” remain hidden, or do they offer a valuable connection to Eminem’s storied career?
