Another fun fact, when Eminem starts talking about Papa Doc's past...apparently he did a little research on Anthony Mackie's real life so some of the bars are real and Anthony Mackie's reaction is real.
That makes so much sense, 100% something he'd do, and just makes that scene so much better/funnier.
people say this shit all the time but his bars have zero to do with Anthonys life, like none of them
@@charg1nmalaz0r51nah the private school line wasn’t real but him growing up in a 2 parent house with good parents is true Mackie has this b4 hismelf
@@brabbit736you see the grin before he starts rapping 🤣 devilish
@@charg1nmalaz0r51smh Anthony Mackie himself said it in an interview and guess what,anthony did attend private school,he also grew up with his mom and pops,and he grew up in a nice house in a nice neighborhood all lil research would prevent u from looking stupid smh
RIP Brittany Murphy
Loved her
Amen ❤
Beautiful and talented. ❤
RIP proof also
RIP 💖
Fun fact: After the movie came out, Eminem eventually won an Oscar for his song "Lose Yourself", becoming the first rapper to ever win an Oscar
Best part is that he wasn’t even there to collect the thing.
After this BJ you gotta have Asia watch Hussle And Flow
Which is ridiculous😭
Not that he won it, but that he was the FIRST rapper to win IN 2004
@@Gingergawdcowhat rap song from a movie should have won before "Lose Yourself"?
It's a great metaphor of his career, you can't insult someone who admits their insecurities. Eminem is shocking with some of the stuff he says, he's an exposed nerve.
I always like to say I’m “8 milin myself.” Like a warped form of self awareness lol.
"He's an exposed nerve"
Wow, never heard that one before, and at the same time, I've never heard Eminem described more accurately in the decades I've heard people talk about him.
The first guy who battles Eminem is Proof, his childhood best friend who died years ago and was the straw that caused Eminem to OD and briefly die (literally) (listen to the song Castle & Arose)
Yep and Meki Phifer's character is based off Proof. Proof even had dreads like that back in the 90s.
NO IT IS NOT........ what the hell are you people on? Proof makes TWO TINY APPERANCE'S in the crowd during the battles. HE NOT ON THE STAGE EVER. 34:50..... RIGHT THERE hes in the crowd with a Detroit hat on laughing and looking at somebody to his left. THAT IS PROOF. 35:30.... There he is again giving daps to Eminem. THAT IS PROOF. I can't believe you people think you know all this shit about these people and cant even recognize his face OR his voice... His voice is 10x deeper then the dude on stage. Now sit down kids and go do your homework. Almost every single person in the crowd is somebody who's part of the industry, A rapper or manager or beatmaker... I can't stand people like you guys. You CLEARLY don't even listen to the music and yet think you know everything.
My favourite part about the Proof performance in the first battle with Rabbit is when he spells out his real rap name in the battle. "I'll Punish Rabbit Or Obselete Future!" Rip Proof. The character Future is based on Proof, down to the old hairstyle Proof used to rock.
WOW! Never caught that. Thanks man
He's also in the crowd.
Will you guys watch Stand By Me it's a good movie
Probably not, there’s only white people in it.
One of my favourites! Great movie 👏
My girl also a good movie
This is an underrated comment.
Rabbit had a straight up Hooptie!! 😂😂😂 Papa Doc AKA The Falcon is in the building! I really like this movie. Eminen played his part very well. And his musical genius speaks for itself. The way he shut them down one by one in the battle was so awesome!!
Hey, when you're broke and walking, a hooptie ain't that bad.
I’m with BJ; I never get tired of watching this movie.
Ok there's no way BJ hasn't seen this. 😂
Maybe he went to private school and has real nice parents.
@@joemckim1183maybe his parents have a real good marriage
@@jin8684what’s the matter with you dog.. he may be embarrassed !
Is that you clarence@@joemckim1183
BJ's real names Clarence. 😂
When this movie came out, I had absolutely no intention of giving it another thought. I was an already established classic rock aficionado, and Rap was just a flash in the pan that had no business existing. I was in my late 20s and all that mattered was rock and roll. My nephew and I were gonna spend a day together, so I suggested a movie, and he could pick it out. No need to guess what movie he picked, so there I was stuck in having to see 8 Mile. Well, 10 minutes in to the film, I was mesmerized, and I walked out of that theater a changed man. Lesson learned. Never JUDGE, you are usually wrong.
...this movie came out in 2002. Felt rap was a flash in the pan? Rap has established itself long long before.
My only thought was . . M&M’s gotta make his bones to make sure his name is spelled correctly in the credits. 🤣
You can’t beat me down unless I let you.
So tear it down before building it up with the knowledge that sticks and stones break bones but words only hurt if you let them.
@@jaygremillion I gotta wonder, how young are you? Because back then, in the right part of the world you _could_ avoid rap music if you weren't into it.
Music wasn't _quite_ the bowl of bland, grey-goo mush that it was becoming. You could still have music on a plate, in separate food groups.
But in hindsight, you can trace the rap bloodline as far back as you care to look.
What album was the first you bought ? Rap ?
@@existenceisrelative I'm in my early 40's. I grew up in the heart of the deep South. Hip-hop had begun to establish itself in mid 80s and by early 90's rap was well solidified as a major genre. Certainly was well beyond "flash in the pan" by 2002 when this movie came out. As for the correlation with food, I don't know. Pop music blends a lot of styles but beyond that you have more access to any genre from around the world today. So people can still isolate themselves from certain genres if they so please.
Asia said it - it's actually a really good movie. When I watched it my first time, I didn't expect much because "musician who acts now ... yeah, right" but I was positively surprised that Eminem was actually a pretty believable actor.
Asia always smiles a lot when men spit game during movies 🍿💀😂😂🔥
Man, this movie brings back good memories. Love hearing all that old school rap!
Biggie, Naughty by Nature, 2pac, Jay-Z, Wu Tang. Best era for music!
I met my wife when this movie first came out it will always be special to me(just like she was 😢❤ 💯
Remember seeing this in the cinema back in the day 🔥
8:59 in some parts of Detroit yes, it’s still very ruff and many places are still abandoned. There are entire neighborhoods that are completely gone, but the city is coming up especially in the last 5-10 years. Detroit has been my home for over 30 years and I honestly don’t think I’ll ever leave.
Also at 12:51 the parking structure they’re in used to be a gorgeous theatre, it’s still there and it’s still used as a parking structure.
His life story is more interesting than just this movie (although this is a great movie). He has persevered and is a true genius. I am a gigantic fan! Plus he is a Michigander like me! ❤
rest in peace, birttany murphy (who plays the love interest, alex). she was really great as an actress.. so many memorable roles.. like this one, tai in clueless, and daisy in girl interrupted. just iconic.
i remember seeing and loving the movie when it came out.. i guess it holds up alright.. love it. i love seeing Asia with a giant grin on her face as she watches movies.. that's why movies and tv are so awesome. they bring such literal joy and excitement.
Eminem didnt hear the rap battles at all until they shot it , so his raps were all on the spot improv to what they said .
I'm sure Eminem was nervous to battle when he first started because most people are nervous in the beginning, even the best. He probably didn't just wake up one day super confident from jump lol.
Good reaction. Big props to BJ for not giving things away or leading the story on and just letting Asia enjoy the movie for what it is herself for the first time.
Ah 8 Mile. One of my all time favorites. Yes the free style rap battles are all amazing but this movie is so much more than people give it credit for
Off all the successes from this film, let's not forget this was Anthony Mackie's first film. His Papa Doc was unforgettable!
"Speaking of dresses, take a look at Paul the fruitcake."
@@danusdragonfly6640 One of many. You like it?
I went on a 2nd date with a girl to see this movie back when i was 23, we drank a 40 in the car in the parking lot and went in to see it and were blown away. We got married a few years later and next years our 20th anniversary. This movie has a special place in my heart
That's amazing. Congrats brotha!
This was legendary movie , we used to repeat a lot of the lyrics from the last battle just randomly haha, please react to `` Blood Diamond`` and `` Rescue Dawn`` both amazing movies
Shout out to some of my favorite groups from Michigan: MC Breed & The DFC, The Dayton Family, Top Authority, ICP. A lot of subwoofers suffered back in the day due to Michigan based music.
Oh Lord here way we go with moms spaghetti
Hey, if Method can rap about "green eggs and ham" Em can rap about spaghetti.
😂 exactly
I live in Michigan I went to the set of the trailer. where they shot the movie The security guards see me and kicked me out me and my friends we almost got arrested. Good memories. 😂
"First time watching" 😆ya right...
Colours , New Jersey Drive , Blood Diamond , American Me
This movie went down as a bonifide classic! Keep it on the "bookshelf".
Suggestion for a movie reaction ... Denzel in "Man on Fire" 2004. Powerful themes...
As a Metal Head (🤘), watching Asia and BJ’s reaction to this movie absolutely warms me… I grew up on old school Zapp & Roger, Sugar Hill Gang… man… Eminem was a G.O.A.T to me when he came out, and this movie was very authentic… so I loved your reaction! It’s on par with your ROCKY reaction. I love you two!
Ayyy, cheers brother 🤘🏻
You also do " Gremlins 1&2 " if you haven't already thumbs 👍
I've never really been a fan of hip hop, but I did like this movie. It's well made and tells a compelling story that a lot of people can identify with. Being in a working class, single parent family and trying to make something of yourself is a common story. Telling it with interesting characters in a realistic surrounding elevates it. Great reaction Asia and BJ!
Hey just to let y'all know, proof was M's brother not just a homie. This was awesome seeing yall react to this, I haven't seen this in years and yall helped me bring back some memories. Salute y'all R.I.P Proof...
Totally off topic.. but have you guys seen “Honey I Shrunk The Kids”… definitely a must see/reaction
8 Mile, the Hip Hop/Rap version of Rocky.
This movie is so underrated! Glad you guys loved it as much as I did
Proof WAS one of Ems friends. Him and Brittany have been gone for years now. RIP Brittany. So fine, dang.
Hopefully You Can Do More Rocky Reaction 😊
The crazy thing about this movie...is eminem is 100x nicer and ruthless in real life and 50😂😂....man dropped a benzino diss 23 years later....when you cross em and 50 its for life
Lose Yourself takes on a new meaning after you see the movie and the story behind it.
RIP BEAUTIFUL BRITTANY MURPHY!!!! I love machine gun Kelly but slim shady is a icon I'm sorry MGK will never out rap him! And for MGK to talk nasty about EMs daughter Hailey is just gross!! But EM tore him up in a rap song
Title is misleading (ASIAS FIRST TIME) I was gunna say - If this is BJ's first time watching 8 mile, i was born in in the north pole man stop trollin'. Ems moment to own it. Bless fam !
The nineties and early 2000's were awesome lol
Y’all need to watch get rich or die tryin now!!! Lol
" Stir Crazy " with Gene Wilder & Richard Pryor 👍 👍 👍
Rest in Peace Brittany Murphy
Em should have definitely done more movies. All based on his life !! I pray fif goes ahead with 8 mile series...Dope af 🙌🏼🙌🏼🔥
Hell yea Amon-Ra the Sun god!
The BEST music is 90s MUSIC, 100%!!!!!!! FACTS! All the people in this movie..... all the music.... ((sigh))... this was great goin back with yall. ❤
I recommend for you guys "The Wash" from 2001, if you haven't seen it - real fun time :D
11:11
BJ speakin facts 💯 it be like that for me and my circle even these days INCLUDING the Biggie song minus the paintball guns tho ha
Chicago 🚔 pulls people over for breathing even smh lol
Snoop Dogg got a fuckin boob job! Haha, best line ever.
You guys gotta watch “Pearl Harbor” with Ben Affleck from 2001 but if you do I have a special request if possible 🙏🏼 please don’t edit out of the part with Japanese taking off from the carrier the music with it is a masterpiece scene
How does film recommendation work? Are you reacting to the most voted, something like that? Do you have an email to recommend films?
Born in Detroit ! I love this film. could you Please react to "Selena" 1997 starring Jennifer Lopez . The true and tragic Bio pic of The 90s latin superstar Selena . Grab tissues she was truly something special .
One of my friends in 8th grade was way into Em so her and I snuck into a theater screening to see it, and even then I was way impressed with the film and everyone's performances. A younger, not-yet-famous Michael Shannon as the mom's boyfriend also proved to be a hugely successful actor later in his career now that I was reminded by your reactions to this one. Sometimes you forget how solid this film was when it had no real right to be this good, and Em's acting chops are genuinely great. Your reaction to this flick was as fun as watching the movie for the first time so it's wonderful how you two keep winning at the top of this game! Thank you both for your chemistry, humor, editing, and everything else because you can't recreate something truly special.
papa doc really thought to catch him if he would let him get up first , we all need a cheddar bob in our life to be honest to the T.. the ending gave me too much anxiety , thinking they would shoot him after the battle ..watch it 2003 and it's already 21 *mindblown..and like right now i noticed wink checking alex @28.02 and looks at rabbit .. something was up alright..never caught that before
Y'all have to be the most sheltered people in existence. HOW???? I'm sorry, I don't believe you. I guarantee at least one of you has seen 8 Mile.
I really love watching your videos. One thing I would really like, especially on a movie like this, is for the sound to be even. It was frustrating not hearing all of some of the rap battles. Other than that y’all are great. Keep it up.
R.I.P. Nashawn Breedlove aka "Lotto".. his verse went hard
Fun fact: I worked at that Stamping Plant for a minute. It’s very old school. I knew I was in the wrooooong place 😂
I loved watching this reaction
Proof was who Future played in the movie. Thats why they was so close...compared to the other members of D12.
Another good movie produced by eminem is Bodied. Its another movie about rap battles. Eminem isnt in the movie, but still worth the watch.
8 Mile with the Lions jersey on!! 🫡
I didn't know she was singing as Gloria in Happy Feet.
We saw this the weekend it premiered in the theater and never thought for a second it would be as good as it was. It was absolutely a fantastic movie. Eminem was great in it. And the "Lose Yourself" song is and will be likely always be iconic. We left that movie pleasantly surprised at how much we enjoyed it.
love your reviews, but you cant do a music movie with the music muted on youtube, i cant thumbs up shit I cant hear. I still love your personalities, but this is unwatchable.
Ok this old lady had too much fun watching this with y’all
Eminem is a lyrical master but grew up poor and struggled like a lot of people and a lot of people will never have those opportunities but he makes it the actual dreams can come true scenario comes true
One of only 2 movies that I have stood in line to see...This one was opening weekend when I lived in Austin TX. The other was when they re released The Exercist into the theaters , both times totally worth it
This is the definition of a hoopty😂
My boys favorite movies. Takes me back to those days. R.I.P. JACK
21+ years later, the funniest part of "8 Mile" is right after Rabbit tosses the mic to Papa Doc, the crowd explodes, and a few seconds later Future starts low-key trolling: "Whooooaaaaa....WHOOOOAAAAAA!!!!"
*I didn't know there was a bank robbery scene in (8 Mile)😉*
Asia comes into almost every movie skeptical then ends up loving it
I was absolutely surprised this movie was really good
This was so much fun!!! What a great movie choice. I've seen it about a billion times since inception but this was just so much fun! ❤❤
Just a thought regarding how you couldn’t imagine Eminem freezing up on stage…you just have to remember this character was based in a time before the Megastar Eminem that you came to know. This is essentially a representation of him finding his voice in the final scenes, just not giving a shit anymore. This was his “moment” that he talks about in Lose Yourself . Prior to this moment, he was only ever good around his boys. That’s why his buddy believed in him so much, because he’d seen it first hand. This is also a characterization of the real life Proof who had the same belief in Em, more so than Em ever did. He’d basically gave up on himself at this stage of his life.
A Brilliant Movie. BJ and Asia you guys should react to Meet the Fockers. The sequel to Meet the Parents. HILARIOUS!
The blur on the video is not easy on the eyes for watchers of the reaction...
Yo can you watch Soul Men with Bernie Mac and Sam Jackson
"Is this true?" Yes and no. Like all artists, this is Eminem's truth. But that doesnt mean every story in it happened. Its all real but streched to be made into an easily digested story
Hey Y'all, Such a great, great film, every genius deals with some of the hardest things in life and often want social isolation, experience frustrations, angst/anxiety, perfectionism, and different types of loneliness. He is a genius. Alot of the film is based on his life, his Mom/family story line, his crew, working at the factory, getting his girlfriend pregnant at a young age, 8 Mile Road Detroit and rapping underground. Thanx so much, take care, Peace
WHERE react swar wars 3 revenge of the sith????????
Please do my favortite movie Leaving Las Vegas, great movie
I've loved this one since it came out. RIP Brittany Murphy 💕
I have to give props, where props are due. Em was set on a mission. Mission: Accomplished.
This movie is Hip Hop's answer to Purple Rain. Its like a Rocky film for music.
Mekai Pfifer kicks this role, then plays a Dr. On ER
Before that, he played Bubba in Forrest Gump!
Bubba was played by Mykelti Williamson. He was also Troy in Waiting to Exhale the guy with the leather vest on in the summertime. Lol.... Mykelti didn't play in 8 mile, Mekhi Phifer did.
Mekhi recently played Bobby Brown's brother in the Bobby Brown story.
Mekai Pfifer played David "Future" Porter in 8 mile. I didn't realize Mykelti Williamson was in 8 Mile. I knew he was Bubba in Forrest Gump. Eminem actually put Mekai Pfifer's name in "Lose Yourself"
I always loved this film, it's really well done.. they really captured that gritty city vibe and it actually feels like they're in the mid90s.. the drama and acting is good too..
don't care what people say, Lotto made me laugh.
And thank you both for not dogging on Detroit like so many people do. It’s actually an AMAZING town, but (like all cities) has its areas that are rough.
I love the 8mile soundtrack so many good songs on that album.
Ice Tea put Eminem on the warp tour to earn his bones.
