Editorial Reviews :
How Eminem was able to assemble so many credible emcees of today and yesteryear (Jay-Z, Rakim) to endorse his Holly'hood coming out party is anyone's guess. What is clear, however, is that (dare we say it) the Shady One might be growing up. On 'Lose Yourself' Em abandons his callous, hardcore posturing to write thoughtful hood-centric coming-of-age lyrics that would make Melle Mel proud. On 'Battle,' Gang Starr's Guru tears through a sick beat from rap's most prolific producer, DJ Premier. Sadly, Nas wastes more valuable studio time dissing Jay-Z (ho hum) on 'You Wanna Be Me.' Interestingly, once you get past the living-legend love-in and peep the skills from Em's lesser-known Shady Records roster of underground wordsmiths, such as 50 Cent ('Wanksta') or Obie Trice ('Adrenaline Rush'), you might urge Em to consider giving up his thespian pursuits to become a full-time record executive. Not even the baffling inclusion of Macy Gray's humdrum 'Time of Your Life' can sink this project.
Buyer Reviews :
OK, when I first saw the songlist for this soundtrack, I was blown away. Nas, Gangstarr, Xzibit, Rakim. All great artists, with a little bit of Shady Records filler crap (Obie Trice, 50 Cent, D12) in between. Since the majority of the kids will buy this soundtrack solely for the lead-off single 'Lose Yourself', which is a fine song, it doesn't really matter what I say about the rest of the album. But for those who know a good line-up when they see it, I'll tell you now: ... The first and last songs, by Eminem, are the only really good ones on here, and the rest are just weak! I at least expected Gangstarr to come through, but that song just cements my theory that DJ Premier has fallen off. There's not much more to say about the 8 Mile soundtrack, except that a single song is NOT worth the [money i spent on it]. Download this off the net, if possible, or just burn it. You've been warned.
