Eminem asked Craig G to write the raps and coach his opponents in the battles, the actors, but Em didn't know what they would say before hand, he wanted it to. be. as genuine as possible. He might have researched them and written a few punches but he freestyled a lot to make more real and visceral for the movie

He was originally going to be the lead in "Southpaw" it was going to be like a sequel to "8 Mile" but he had to back out of it so they ended up getting Jake Gyllenhaal.

8 Mile was Anthony Mackie's first movie. Think about that- your first movie, and Em comes in and drops real-world truthful sh*t about you in the ending rap, unbeknownst to YOU?!? 😂😂 Good stuff!!!

Omg Anthony Mackie been WERRRRRKING!

Anthony Mackie was raised in a good area by his married mother and father, who owned his own business, and went to (and graduated from) prestigious, private schools most of his life, including Juilliard. His brother is even a professor of engineering at Tulane. The fact that Em pulled from Macks stable upbringing and home life, privileged, private education and real background to use it against him in a diss to the character he was portraying is borderline genius. That look on Mackie’s face when he says that is a genuine look of “MFer, Really?”, which cracks me up every time. 😂

If you watch the movie. He always chose to go second so he could use everything the opponent said against them. Imprinting on Papa Doc that’s what Em’s whole game plan was, not knowing he could also go first and ruin him. Just methodical

Em going first in the last battle was to be able to make Doc choke. Movie would have ended much differently had Doc gone first.

The end of the film is awesome because despite overcoming his greatest adversary (not just papa Doc but his nerves too) he just goes back to work after. No contract. No deals. No future. Just B Rabbit. And RIP Brittany Murphy

When i hear people say Eminem doesn't have showmanship and couldn't hold his own in todays Battlerap scene just need take a look at his performance in this movie, Yes its acting but the guy uses every tool available to make it feel like you are within the crowd. The guy is multitalented far beyond what he gives himself credit, If all his passion wasn't focused in HipHop the dude could be out giving lectures on writing poetry, art classes on drawing comics, seminars on how to progress through life and even starred in more movies along his way. Obviously the fame stops him having a normal life but if he wanted to attend many events as a guest speaker or teach a class he would have good wisdom to share. Marshall is humble but he has harnessed far more skills and knowledge than he gives himself credit for. Dude is a beast, a true rags to riches story with all the lows and highs life can throw at you along the way.

Now people gotta realize that one, Em was still learning and spittin' each day he could. Its not like he will always win battles. That's not the point. His craft grew over time. If he didn't improve, would a movie even exist after that? It's hip hop after all and well Em don't play. This was his dream. So even when he loses, he keeps going. People make it seem like he will never lose or that his skills are maxed out when really, Em just loves the sport of it all. At least Stevie you get it 😂

When Em got the crowd going, Poppa Doc was toast

So glad you revisited the Marv interview w Math and the deleted scene,back to back,it adds more context to it😁Think Em might have added a few lines for the actors,but mostly were written by Craig G😊

Oh damn I would have loved to be in the audience during all those battles!!

Same here. I used to listen to the BET countdown when I was young and started listening rap. Then one day I saw this white guy and thought "there's a white guy on BET??" Me, being white, I was like I didn't even know white people rapped. It was Forgot About Dre. After that I started finding all the Eminem songs I could and was hooked.

I'm so happy that you keep doing artists and I love so good on you

OMG thank you! I loved watching you react to the last battle of 8 Mile

You’re my guy! The main guy to appreciate and break down bars. Seriously, don’t tell me you’re just now playing this 😆😆 can’t wait though. Hope yuh appreciate it and Eminem also wrote everyone’s diss tracks/bars

if you bought the movie and went into the bonus clips it shows all the battles marv was talking about and after he really spit against marv he really spit against a few others from the crowd too. if you type in 8mile: bonus battles on youtube there a video that shows them all

Beautifully put

great as always stevie

I'm new to the channel, but loving going back in time to watch you discover Eminem- it's been a *real treat!*

If you pay attention, you can clearly see the genuine reaction of Anthony being shocked of hearing the first time of em’s verse about him.

This was a nice trip down memory lane. I really enjoy your content, no matter what it is! You should do some more like this. There’s “Straight outta Compton”, “New Edition”, “All eyes on me”, “Notorious”, just to name a few. You might be on to something. Thank you for delivering great content!

This one was lit right here!

The best part HE REALLY ABOUT THAT LIFE! WATCH THE HOUR (I THINK IT'S AN HOUR) SHELTER FREESTYLE HE WENT OFF. HE ALSO TALKED ABOUT BEING THERE AND WAITED FOR SOMEONE TO CALL HIM OUT (HE WAS UP IN THE VIP CHILLIN LISTENING TO THE BATTLES) HE SAID IF SOMEONE CALLED HIM OUT HE WOULD HAVE WENT DOWN AND CHOPPED UM UP! EVERYONE THOUGHT HE WAS CRAZY THAT HE WAS GOING TO BECAUSE HE SO DANM HUGE! EVERYONE SEEMS TO FORGET THAT'S HIS ROOTS AND HE DON'T CUT HIS TEETH AT THE SHELTER! EMINEM IS A LIVING LEGEND!

Bro I have the movie and have watched the last battle more times than I can remember and I love it even more that I know he googled his personal life and I think creative as hell. That’s why he’s great. I don’t think I could have stayed in character getting snuck with that without warning.

Everything was written. Only thing not written were the extra freestyle battles in the deleted scenes. Since eminem was losing his voice, the extra battles were going to be as a montage w no noise so they let the rappers sat whatever they wanted. That's were eminem wasn't having it and turned on his mic. They explain this in the 8 mile behind the scenes.

I heard that he wrote for everyone. After hearing papa dcs interview on here he said some of the rappers in the beginning battles but i heard he wrote all the ending battles and before that he was str8 freestylin in the beginning battles.... I want that chick tho in the beginning battles. So fine

The extra stuff (cut scenes) we’re all supposedly off the top. They had needed extra scenes in case and let the extras write their own raps. They explain it on the movie extras I believe.

🔥 reaction dog! I think you reacted to the behind the scenes battles last year. Remember Em murked that Da Brat lookin female? 😂😂😂 8 mile is a dope movie in general though. Definitely a cultural classic.

If you listen carefully every battle in the ending he did more and more acapella. First its just minor, then more medium and all out hardcore.

When Eminem said something about Papdog being scare and shook and scared to look in his yearbook is the same as when Kendrick said Drake is scared to look in the mirror when Kendrick is near ya at the BET cyphers

That xhibit story made me laugh but you look like you! Love your takes, much respect... if you haven't done it already def check out I just don't give a F... one of my favorite old school Em songs
