8 Mile [Explicit Lyrics, Soundtrack]

Lose Yourself - 4.5/5 - I'd give it 5, but this song gets boring. The beat is good though, although it very closely resembles Till I Collapse on The Eminem Show.

Love Me - 4.5/5 - A great song by Eminem and the newest members of his Shady Records label.

8 Mile - 4.5/5 - This would've been better if Em made it a bit shorter. (it's six minutes) but it was good anyways.

Adrenaline Rush - 2.5/5 - Obie is setting a bad image for himself and his upcoming album. He is always outshined by 50. This song isn't good, he should've had a different one to go with it or even better, instead of it.

Places To Go - 3/5 - This is okay...the beat isn't the greatest, but it's better than Adrenaline Rush.

Rap Game - 4.5/5 - D12's addition to the cd is pretty good. Em makes a good verse using pig latin. pretty funny actually...you might be expecting bizarre to ruin it, but he doesn't....at least, not as much.

8 Miles and Runnin - 4/5 - This would be a near perfect song without Freeway...his voice is just annoying. The beat is so-so, but Jay-Z has a great flow on this track.

Spit Shine - 3/5 - meh...Xhibit could've done better than this...(should've)

Time of My Life - 0/5 - I never listen to this, it's just bad.

U Wanna Be Me - 2/5 - Actually not a dis to Jay-Z...it's not a very good song.

Wanksta - 4.5/5 - This song was actually on one of his older album, funny how it becomes a hit right now....anyways, it's a good dis to Ja, and an even better song.

Wasting My Time - 0.5/5 - This and the Macy Gray song are both useless to the cd.

R.A.K.I.M. - 1/5 - Ughh.....(that pretty much sums it up)

That's My N***a Fo Real - 1/5 - Just as bad as R.A.K.I.M.

Battle - 5/5 - FINALLY something good! The end of the cd was beginning to seem like total garbage until this one. Can't wait till Gang Starr's next album...

Rabbit Run - 4.5/5 - This is a pretty good song.

-->SAMPLER<--

Three songs here are from Shady Records, and three are from Aftermath Entertainment. Looking forward to a few of these artists, but not *some*.

*SHADY* Rap Name - 4/5 - One of Obie's better songs, you may recognize it from the beginning of Without Me (pretty interesting way of introducing a new artist). It also uses bits of the hook from Drips.

*SHADY* Stimulate - 5/5 - One of tracks that was cut from The Eminem Show, this is a great song. Talks about how people take him too seriously, and how he's only here to entertain.

*SHADY* Till I Collapse Freestyle - 4.5/5 - Nothing really new, 50 freestyles over Em's Till I Collapse. It's a great freestyle though.

*AFTERMATH* Gangsta - 1/5 - Really sounds like Snoop when he says Gangsta in the background...anyways, like obie, if this is how they're gonna promote him, I don't think I'm lookin forward to his debut much.

*AFTERMATH* The Weekend - 3/5 - An okay song from one of the recently-signed-to-Aftermath artists. Brooklyn is supposed to be both an emcee and R&B artist. pretty interesting.

*AFTERMATH* California - 2.5/5 - The hook is kinda annoying, but otherwise an average song.
