Review of 8 Mile (2002) by Emerald R — 25 Aug 2015

The semi autobiographical movie of Eminem's life blurs the lines between fact and fiction. It follows the trials and tribulations of a young white rapper growing up in a predominantly black area. Constantly catching grief from his boss in a dead end job while he tries to get his rap career off the ground with help from his friends.

All the while juggling a recent break up, promiscuous new love interest and insatiable mother who craves head. The film show's a gritty white trash life style we could only imagine but never fully comprehend all to the rubbish sound track of cheesy rap battles.

While this movie done enough to entertain it done nothing for my interest in rap music. Featured on The Emerald Reprobates pod-cast episode 62.
