Synopsis

Amazon.com

It's no surprise that More Music from 8 Mile is a great soundtrack collection. Eminem's semi-autobiographical big-screen debut takes place in the mid-1990s, a time when a considerably diverse group of MCs kept rap fresh with intellectually engaging party music. These jams rocked the party back when Em's Detroit hip-hop scene was nothing more than a basement cipher circle. A lot's changed since then, but every single selection on More Music withstands the test of time. The intro to Mobb Deep's thug anthem, "Shook Ones Part II," still sends chills down the spine, and Biggie's opening verse on "Get Money" proves why he may be the greatest rapper of all time. One minor quibble: it would've been nice if some of the more obvious tracks were substituted by less popular tunes--say, Outkast's "Crumblin' Erb" for "Player's Ball" and Pharcyde's "Soul Flower" remix (never released as a single) instead of their 1995 hit, "Runnin." --Rebecca Levine

CD Reviews

The way rap should be...

Jerry Langone | 06/12/2005

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This CD in my opinion is near perfect. A CD containing "Shook Ones Pt.2" (one of the greatest rap tunes ever??), "Juicy", "Runnin", "Feel Me Flow", "Bring Da Pain" and "C.R.E.A.M" should be re-titled "Classic Hip-Hop". All the tracks in 8 Mile were dope, but the only thing I can find wrong with this CD is that there are many great songs missing:

South Central Cartel - Gang Stories (the track Free World play in their car)

Onyx - Last Dayz (the beat behind Eminem's 2nd battle)

Showbiz & A.G. - Next Level (the beat behind Eminem's 1st battle)

O.C. - Time's Up (the beat behind the battle where Em chokes)

Cypress Hill - Insane In The Brain

Notorious BIG - Who Shot Ya

If u wanted Eminem's songs, then u shud buy the other 8 Mile CD. But there are no bad songs on this CD - each track would get 10/10 no doubt. Cop this CD, u won't regret it..."

Some great 90's rap

Damian Gunn | I am everywhere | 05/16/2006

(5 out of 5 stars)

"In the early to mid 90's while I was still in the single digits I was heavy into rap & r&b and this album is a great throwback to the music scene I was into. Sporting some great rap anthums by the likes of BIG, Tupac & Naughty by Nature, this 'more music from' album really delivers the goods. The music featured here are all tracks that here hot back in the day, the time period this film hails from. This is the best of the 90'd rap scene including opening and closing tracks by Mobb Deep and some classic tracks by Method Man (the greatest rapper alive) and the rest of Wu Tang including ODB. My inly regret is that there aren't more tracks...and as was stated by other reveiwers, there are about 6 key tracks played in the film that are not here...but then again, licensing is so crazy that getting the rights to use certain tracks can be downright impossible at times. Even though, this is still one classic album and a must own for any fan of the hip-hop genre."

Hip Hop Greatest Hits or 8mile Soundtrack?

Abdul Qayeum | Manteca, CA USA | 01/05/2006

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This CD contains all the classic hip hop songs.. To put it bluntly, its IMPOSSIBLE to be disappointed with this CD. They got Shook Ones pt.II (in my opinion, the greatest dark rap song ever) and Survival of the Fittest from the Mobb. Juicy From Biggie,C.R.E.A.M from the Wu, Runnin from Pharcyde, and many others. EVERY track on this CD is 10+ in my book. All they needed on this CD was Onyx - Last Dayz and it would have been complete, but I'm not complainin, its still amazing."
