Eminem wrote the majority of everyone's freestyles. It's crazy because the way he closed the battle is exactly how he battles in real life. He will embarrass himself to land a punch line.
Papa doc failed as a rapper, so he decided to join the avengers and showed the world that it’s much easier to fight Thanos then to rap battle Eminem lmao
Eminem won on Oscar for best original song ‘lose yourself’ from 8 mile! So he not only starred in the movie, wrote all the lyrics for the rap battles but music as well. Eminem’s the GOAT for a reason!
As an extra when Em shouted in that mike Now everybody from the 313, we went nuts! That was our genuine reaction not knowing what was about to be said. That was one take! The director, Curtis Hanson was in disbelief. I'm thankful to have been apart of this film.
Mackie revealed that everything Em says to him in this scene is stuff about Mackie’s real life. They hadn’t written anything down for those two characters for this scene so was just sat talking a few hours before in between scenes and Em was asking him questions. It wasn’t until this scene and Em started rapping he realized halfway through that he wasn’t talking about the character but Mackie himself and you can see it in his face and reaction. Em scoped him out for info to use so this was a genuine freestyle on Em’s part! 🤣
Anthony Mackie said in an interview that Em approached him and asked if he was okay with changing that last battle, I guess they were supposed to have a back and forth, but Em changed it and actually did research on Anthony's personal life and the last battle against him a lot was taken from Mackie's real life experiences lmao
Some facts about 8 Mile - was the number 1 movie in the box office upon release, nominated for 32 awards, won an academy award and a Grammy, soundtrack went quadruple platinum and was also number 1 upon debut, selling 700k copies first week. Lose yourself was number 1 for 12 weeks and was Eminem's first number 1 single, and was the first hip hop song to win an academy award. It was one of only three rap songs from the 21st century to be included on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time, being the highest ranked at number 166 and is certified diamond. There's literally like hundreds of essays written about Lose Yourself. It was #1 23 weeks straight which was the record and might still be the record for a rap song. First rap song nominated for song of the year at the Grammys. Got nominated for a golden globe. List goes on and on but what happened with 8 Mile in general is rare as fuck. A superstar musician starring in the number 3 highest grossing movie of the year and producing a quad platinum album with one of the greatest pieces of music in your genre in the movie.
I saw 8 Mile in the theatres when it came out. What an experience. Only time I've ever been in a completely full theatre. Place was almost as hyped as the ending rap battles. 😂
Last battle gives me goosebumps every damn time. The moment when Papa Doc chokes and Em realizes, THE FACE. Is AWESOME dude, Curtis Hanson was an amazing director and this movie is totally underrated.
I appreciate how yall are a team. There's never a leader, you respect each other enough to switch places in your videos. It's truly a family, stay safe
One of the smartest things to do in any rap battle is to touch on the bullet points about yourself so when the other person is up they don't have much more to say and that force them to reevaluate things
Whenever these dudes views low they pump out the em stuff 😂. Now they switched to politics 👍🏼. Smart . Half the analysts are the same, they don’t even care about politics either they just know it’s a goldmine
1. Don’t let him go first
2. Don’t let him go second
3. Don’t battle him
