IMDb profile
8 Mile is a movie starring Eminem (Marshall Mathers) as the young white rapper Jimmy Smith Jr. Eight Mile Road is a road which forms the boundary between predominantly African American Detroit, Michigan, United States and the city's mostly "white" northern suburbs. The term "8 Mile" therefore represents a barrier that is difficult to cross.
Besides Mathers, the movie stars actors like Kim Basinger, Brittany Murphy, Mekhi Phifer, Omar Benson Miller, Eugene Byrd, Michael Shannon, Evan Jones, Chloe Greenfield, Taryn Manning and De'Angelo Wilson.
The movie spawned two soundtracks, one of which featured several new songs by Eminem, along with collaborators 50 Cent and Obie Trice.
The second soundtrack featured songs referred to in the movie. These songs are all Hip-Hop tracks from 1995 and earlier, as per the setting of the movie. Some artists on the soundtrack include Mobb Deep, Notorious B.I.G., Wu-Tang Clan and The Pharcyde. It doesn't, however, feature all of the songs from the film, as songs by Cypress Hill and Montell Jordan amongst others are absent.
The score's most famous track, Eminem's "Lose Yourself" (played over the closing credits), won the 2002 Academy Award for Best Original Song. Eminem and co-writer Jeff Bass did not attend the award ceremony, nor was the song performed on-air for the awards show. Co-writer Luis Resto accepted the award on behalf of the other two.
The movie featured several music performers in small cameo roles, including:
