Songs

"Can-I-Bitch" samples Slick Rick's song "Children's Story" in the first verse. It is also a word play on the title of Canibus's first album, entitled Can-I-Bus being a diss track to Canibus and is an answer song to the Pet Shop Boys' 2002 song "The Night I Fell in Love".[4]

The diss track "Bully" is aimed at rappers Benzino, Irv Gotti and Ja Rule.[4][5]

Another diss track titled "Hailie's Revenge" (sometimes referred as "Do Rae Me"), which features background vocals from Eminem's daughter Hailie Jade, is a response to Ja Rule's song "Loose Change", in which Ja Rule has insulted Eminem's family, including Hailie.[4][6]

"We Are Americans" (later retitled "We as Americans") and "Love You More" are included in a bonus disc on Eminem's fifth studio album Encore.

"Come on In" (later retitled "6 in the Morning") was used on D12's second studio album, D12 World.
