8 Mile, which was loosely based on the hip-hop icon’s life, continues to earn cult status and recognition as one of cinema’s most celebrated films.
Along with notable music-inspired films such as the biopic Bohemian Rhapsody, Rob Reiner's 1984 mockumentary This Is Spinal Tap and Prince's 1984 romantic rock musical drama film Purple Rain, among others, 8 Mile created a cultural impact and influence on music and pop culture, accompanied by iconic performances and a memorable soundtrack.
“Lose Yourself,” the iconic anthem of the movie, was written by the award-winning rapper himself and co-produced alongside his longtime collaborator Jeff Bass.
Eminem in the NetherlandsThe “Mockingbird” hitmaker recalled the experience, describing it as “fun, but it wasn't.”
“It was like being a f---g hamster and you’re just going from one cage, one wheel to the next,” he told Apple Music in an interview. “It was a trailer where I gotta learn the lines. You know, learning the scenes and writing and trying to record and get a little workout in here and there.”
“I guess if there was no ‘8 Mile’ there would be no 'Lose Yourself’ because I needed that movie,” the rapper shared. “It was good because doing that movie kinda put me right back. It made me, for some reason, feel hungry again. Like the whole battle rap scene…that movie gave me a little different .. a slight edge of inspiration that I don't think I had back at a particular time.”
In addition, 8 Mile also scored major wins, including a historic recognition at the 2003 Academy Awards for taking home the Best Original Song award for “Lose Yourself,” making it the first hip-hop song to win an Oscar.
