8 Mile Soundtrack

IP: DB16 D9CD

Word...

I was bored so I decided to do an album review.

1. Lose Yourself- Eminem: Okay...everybody has heard of this song. But besides that, this song pumps you right up. Basically a million people were inspired to rap by this song...good song, good verses, good message. Beat is dope. Hook is catchy.

9/10

2. Love Me- Obie Trice, Eminem, 50 Cent: Possibly one of the best beats I have ever heard...Obie's verse was good...good opening for the track. The hook...I have no idea why it's there...doesn't really relate to the song. Em does his shit...50 does his...and he was way better back then. Good track.

8/10

3. 8 Mile- Eminem: One of my favorite songs on this entire CD. Beat is dope as hell...lyrics are amazing. Great track, enough said.

9.5/10

4. Adrenaline Rush- Obie Trice: Great beat...one of those clubber/boasting tracks. Lyrically...this isn't the best from Obie but still pretty good. I don't like the hook too much...but oh well. Still a good track.

7.5/10

5. Places To Go- 50 Cent: Don't like the beat much...typical 50 song...doesnt relate to the movie at all. Again, he was way better back then. Decent song...but the way 50 always has been.

6/10

6. Rap Game- D12: Beat is sick...this is probably the best song I have ever heard from D12. Everyone does good...Great track.

8.5

7. 8 Miles And Runnin'- Jay Z Feat. Freeway: The first song not from the Aftermath camp...Love the beat, I love the entire song. A great song...another favorite on the CD. One thing though...Freeway is a funny lookin mother fucker with his huge ass beard. Like the black Santa Claus.

9/10

8. Spit Shine- Xzibit: Love this beat as well...I dunno what it is about this track, but it makes my head start bobbin'. Great song...too bad Xzibit sold out.

8/10

9. Time Of My Life- Macy Gray: This song is way to....uplifting for me. =\ Nothing against Macy Gray, I think she is talented...this song was just so fucking annoying. Well the verses aren't, but that fucking chorus...-Shoots down the crowd of people standing in a circle singing it.- Decent track though.

6/10

10. U Wanna Be Be- Nas: Not a bad beat...but I love the lyrics on this. Great shit...

8/10

11. Wanksta- 50 Cent: So unbelievably overplayed...used to like it, but now I hate it.

2/10

12. Wasting My Time- Boomkat: The only non-urban rap or R&B song on the entire song. Deep lyrics, a very powerful song.

8/10

13. R.A.K.I.M.- Rakim: Meh...hate the beat. Decent lyrically...just not feeling this too much...decent. The crazy choirs in the background are cool though...some Egyptian shit going on there.

6.5/10

14. That's My N**** Fo Real- Young Zee: This guy is virtually unheard of...btu he has some cool shit lyrically. Beat...not feeling it. But this guy's lyrics are are dope...

"Merk you for half a gram"

7.5/10

15. Battle- Gangstarr: What ever happened to this guy..? He would be a pretty good battle emcee...good track, nice punchlines in this.

7.5

16. Rabbit Run- Eminem: Eminem's most aggressive song ever. Period. Dope ass beat...dope ass lyrics. Great song, definetely worth a listen.

9.5/10

Overall: Some of the music doesn't really relate to the movie...but hell...at least it's like a full Eminem album like the Get Rich Or Die Tryin' Soundtrack is for 50. =\

Great CD. Still my favorite rap CD so far.

That's kind of sad that 10% of your posts are about a single person.
