Straight from the Lab EP is an unofficial album by Eminem. It consists of seven tracks that were leaked from Eminem's studio work in between his albums The Eminem Show and Encore.
Because the EP is unofficial there is no set track listing 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's name, Canibus or dissing Canibus' first album, Can-I-Bus?.

[edit] European release
In 2003, an album called Straight from the Lab was released in Europe on Universal Music with the following track listing (note that the spellings of the following song titles are not necessarily the same as on the album cover. See below for more info):
- "Monkey See Monkey Do"
- "We Are Americans"
- "I Love You More"
- "Can-I-Bitch"
- "Bully"
- "Come On In"
- "Doe Rae Me"
- "Come On In" was later released on D12 World as the track named "6 In the Morning".
Though the album had an official and professional appearance, including metallic printing on the cover art, its limited availability, and typographical errors 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."
