Straight From The Lab EP is an unnofficial album by the artist Eminem. It consists of seven tracks that were leaked from Eminem's studio work in between his albums The Eminem Show and Encore, but the artist then released a 40 second soundclip about how somebody who can afford a PC can surely afford to "spend $16 on my CD".
Because the EP is unofficial there is no set tracklisting and often other tracks are added, taken away, or swapped around. Some other tracks added on are 911, Nigga, Tylenol Island and other tracks from earlier in Eminem's career. The track Canabitch/Can-I-Bitch has two names because it can either be interpreted as dissing rival rapper Canabus or his first album (Can-I-Bus).

Though the album had an official and professional appearance, including metallic printing on the cover art, its limited availability, typographical errors, and a mix of both explicit and clean versions of songs suggest that it may be a forgery. The typos may be due to mistypes during translation, although the copyright information on CD label itself contains the phrases "Printed in USA" and "Manufactured in USA."
