OPINION Overrated, Underrated, Properly Rated Series: 8 Mile

[AP2.5]

​

Summary: The setting is Detroit in 1995. The city is divided by 8 Mile, a road that splits the town in half along racial lines. A young white rapper, Jimmy "B-Rabbit" Smith Jr. summons strength within himself to cross over these arbitrary boundaries to fulfill his dream of success in hip hop. With his pal Future and the three one third in place, all he has to do is not choke.

Overrated as a body of work imo.

Some moments here that have become apart of hip hop vernacular, but overall, wouldnt care if i never saw this movie again.

It's cool

Showed Eminem true colors. Had he came out as 'B Rabbit' instead of Slim Shady his career would have went the route of Yelawolf

But it was a cool movie, dope rhymes throughout

Like I just posted in the other thread

as a hip hop movie its better than ATL

but where ATL succeeds is its accurate representation of souther black culture at that time

This literally doesnt refute anything about it being a good movie about hip hop and the battle rap scene in Detroit at that time
