10 Most Hilariously Bad Albums Ever Made

It's never a good sign when an album gets leaked long before it's finished. For as much time and effort that you put into making the best record you know how to, having some no name post the files of it for the world to see just makes you do damage control for no good reason. If there was ever a guidebook on how not to do damage control though, it's Eminem's Encore.

When listening back to the leaks that were initially reserved for the followup to the Eminem Show, it's hard to really pinpoint where everything went wrong here. On songs like Bully, we see Marshall's sinister vibe getting dialed in even more, only to be scrapped in favor of some of the doofiest songs he would ever write on tracks like Just Lose It and Ass Like That.

Before an album like this, Eminem was always dunked on by critics for being a shock rapper with no real substance. While he was able to refute that claim on pretty much every single album up until this point, this is where he lives up to his expectations, trying way too hard to be insulting and just sounding upset by the end of everything. The original version may in fact have been a great album, but Encore is the epitome of throwing your hands up in the air and throwing any old song onto the record to see what sticks.
