Customer Reviews
Average Rating: Rating: - 3 1/2 stars When Eminem is placed beside another rapper, he usally steals the show. But how about when he's placed beside a Who's Who list of rappers on a soundtrack? The answer is still yes. Simply, get the album for the Eminem songs because all of them are dope (well, duh). In fact, "8 Mile Road" is even better than "Lose Yourself", a song that radio will never get tired of. Other good songs are Young Zee of the Outsidaz with "That's My N For Real" and a rejuvenated 50 Cent with "Wanksta". But like all soundtracks, there are a few missteps. Macy Gray gives us "Time of Your Life", an R&B song that disrupts the hip-hop feel of this album, plus she went out of style with the year 2000. Rakim's verses on "R.A.K.I.M." are decent, but the chorus and production are both terrible. And Nas gives an uninspired performance on the sluggish "You Wanna Be Me". But it's funny that the very next song that follows is from his rival Jay-Z, who shines so bright on "8 Miles and Running" (with Freeway) that it proves my theory that Hova gives his best performances everywhere but on his own albums. So, to sum it up, there are some good songs and some bad songs on this soundtrack, but the good songs make the album a little worthwhile. Rating: - Eminem Shines, The Rest is a Mixed Bag As a movie soundtrack, "8 Mile" is not the best, especially since only a few of the songs appear in the movie. Eminem, of course, contributes the best tracks and this time from the prespective of his "Rabbit" character instead of "Slim Shady", which adds a new dimension to Em's already powerful MC arsenal. The problem is the rest of the artists give an uneven contribution. Even the rap heavyweights are disappointing at times. LOSE YOURSELF-You've problably heard this 100 times by now. It's still great; a different and more inspirational track than Em's other commercial hits. (5/5) LOVE ME-An odd semi-love song. The funniest verse comes from 50 Cent. (3.5/5) 8 MILE-More than just the movie's title. A terrific 6-minute escape-from-home rant from Em and perfect for the film. My favorite track. I liked this even better than "Lose Yourself". (5/5) ADRENALINE RUSH-I hated this. Em's protege' Obie Trice, who contributed a really disgusting verse in "Drips", does no better here. An empty diss of whomever where the hook constantly says "M***fr". Obie's track on the bonus sampler is much better than this. (0/5) PLACES TO GO-To me, 50 Cent shows much more potential than Obie. He has a more laid back style in his delivery. Pretty smooth track and fitting for the movie. (4/5) RAP GAME-Pretty amusing track from D12. Funniest moment is Em rapping in Pig Latin. (3.5/5) 8 MILES AND RUNNIN'-Okay track from Jay-Z & Freeway, but it sounds like an ad for "Blueprint 2". (3/5) SPIT SHINE-So-so rant from Xzibit. He been more forceful in his previous work. (2.5/5) TIME OF MY LIFE-Sure, this song is out of place, but I still liked it. (4/5) U WANNA B ME-Normally, Nas is one of the more deep, thought-provoking rappers around, especially in songs like "One Mic", but he's completely wasted here. This is an idiotic, unnecessary dis of Jay-Z, or whomever. Truly awful. (0.5/5) WANKSTA-50 Cent's first single from his upcoming album "Get Rich Or Die Tryin'". Pretty good, but I liked "Places to Go" better. (3/5) WASTING MY TIME-Just as out of place as the Macy Gray song, but much less memorable. A waste of your time. (1.5/5) R.A.K.I.M.-Rather dull and not very bounceable. (2/5) THAT'S MY NA FO' REAL-So-so filler track. (2/5) BATTLE-Pretty good gangsta track. (3.5/5) RABBIT RUN-Awesome conclusion to the soundtrack from Em, who takes you inside the head of an aspiring rapper and his creative struggles. Yet another new dimension from Eminem. (5/5) The best tracks from the sampler come from Em, 50, and Obie. The start of "Rap Name", of course, started Em's hit single "Without Me" and the chorus samples the hook from "Drips" So I was impressed with Eminem and underwhelmed with the rest of the artists. However Eminem's contributions are great enough to buy the album. You can skip some of the rest. Rating: - Eminem is sweet, the rest is a waste* The Eminem songs on this CD are good but the rest are not near as good. The only time I ever put this in my system is when I want to hear some other Eminem stuff, I listen to the sampler it came with more than the soundtrack itself. Don't get me wrong, Eminem's tracks are tight but the rest leaves you wanting more M.
