The taunting track “Brand New Dance” revisits one of Eminem’s longest-running jokes aimed at Christopher Reeve, an actor who famously portrayed Superman throughout the 1980s, then suffered an incident which left him wheelchair-bound. Eminem comes up with a new dance named after Christopher Reeve, where the aim is to seriously harm and paralyze oneself by damaging the spinal cord. Ironically, Eminem’s dance song would render the listener unable to dance afterwards. Co-produced by Eminem himself, the funky beat is very reminiscent of his Encore days in 2004. In fact, an early track list of the album showed a title called “Christopher Reeves” which never went on to release. On a later track, “Guilty Conscience 2,” Eminem admitted to taking the song off as Reeve passed away shortly before Encore’s release.
