@@russellhuston6481 Eminem once rap battled Eminem.......and he won. When Eminem was born the doctor slapped his butt and instead of crying, he laid down a track.....which hit number one that year.
Love that one but I love the open too. The fact Em got the crowd going so hard and said “notice that this man did not have his hands up” 🤡 👈🏽 Papa doc became a visitor in that moment!
@@realSimoneCherie best part of this is that if papa doc put his hands up in the beginning it means em has the power to make him join in with the crowd hyping em up. If he doesn’t (which em knew he wouldn’t) he will be seen as an outsider. Perfection!
Love that in the true emcee world, it's not about where you come from. It's simply about being real. Being fake, no matter your origins, automatically ruins your integrity.
From what I read online, Anthony Mackie's shocked reaction is real because he had njo idea Em was coming that hard AND em actually used some info relevant to Anthony's life so it made the battle all the more real.
I was scrolling through the comments looking for someone saying this. It’s hilarious that he did some research on Mackie just to make the bars punch a little more.
This movie is so authentically Detroit, as well. We were the "313" area code most of our lives, and I've partied countless times in that same room at The Shelter. It just means so much to all of us from Detroit. It's crazy that he went in the Hall of Fame the other day as the greatest-selling hip-hop artist of ALL TIME -- and he actually opened for my friends back in the day. They were a group named Prophit, and Em opened for THEM. Now he's a Hall of Famer. You brought back so many memories. Thank you. This sub earlier tonight was definitely so well-deserved.
The whole theater was immersed during the rap battle scene and everyone jumped up applauding as if we were there with him when he destroyed Pappa Doc. One of the greatest movie experiences for me bar none.
"This dude's a gangster? His real name's Clarence!" That was the nail in the coffin right there LOL I remember when I watched this in theaters after it came out the whole theater went wild I'll never forget it
Papa Doc made a fatal mistake by making him go first and b-rabbit knew it. Right before he turns to hype the crowd he gives a sly smile. LOVE THAT PART. His stare is so intense I don't know how anyone wouldn't feel at least a little shiver of fear standing across from him, lol. Eminem always appears so serious all the time, but he's got a wicked sense of humor which shows up with what comes out of his mouth. Pure genious.
I get the idea of Papa Doc though. Before that B-Rabbit always chose to be second which gives him the advantage of knowing everything what the opponent said and then making fun of it. But it was as if that was a trap all along and if you build your whole act only of trying to do the same slurs as everyone else against a white guy who wants to rap then thats easy enough to predict. Also I guess Papa Doc didn't expect at all to be called out on the fact that he is just a "fake gansta"
Yeah, Papa Doc didn't know that Rabbit knew his real name and that he attended private school, according to the girl at the party that knew his sister. Plus he didn't expect Rabbit to predict everything he'd bash him on like living in a trailer with his mom, Wink messing around with his girl, giving him the black eye and so forth.
@@kbob9625 that's why I separate the two by saying freestyle and freeverse. Obviously everything in a huge movie like this is the latter which is written, but still. He was a writer for mostly everything in the movie that was rap centric
@@Cripplified He should be lol... he's the rapper. I am not an Eminem fan at all and thought the movie was meh. I will say I was impressed with his acting ability. I know he was playing a version of himself but he was still really very good, authentic, and was pretty impressive in his acting debut. He should consider picking up some more dramatic roles like that because he could maybe do some things.
This battle lives rent free in my husband and I's minds. Not even a few weeks ago I used the line "YOU CAN TAKE THE MIC HOME WIT YOU" in casual conversation 😄
My wife and I say "emineming yourself" all the time. It is in reference to just calling your shit out and not letting any one else do it. I love that yall can bring it up in convo. Mush love
Regarding the Vanilla Ice references, during that time Eminem broke out, every single TV interview he did, the one interviewing him were going "Before you, there was only Vanilla Ice doing white rap." But Eminem himself was quick to point out that Vanilla Ice was NOT the first one, the BEASTIE BOYS were. In fact, if you listen to songs like "Pass the mic" and "Sure shot" you'll hear a lot of where Eminem got his flow from. The use of a lot of background voices, for example, is to ape the Beasties' way of finishing each other's lyrics. But for some strange reason, people tend to forget that the Beastie Boys were white.
I always describe that last scene against Poppa Doc this way: it’s like he walked up to that dude, took the gun out of his hand, dropped the clip, popped the chamber, and handed it back to him without breaking eye contact.
@@mattl7424 Not when you think if rap as a loaded weapon The bullets are the words, the chamber is the mind process, and the clip would be the motivation to unload
Rabbit's final rap is so powerful. You aren't able to say those things about yourself, with such confidence, if you haven't been THROUGH it. I know that from experience. It is very much a case of, 'There is nothing you can say to me that I haven't already said to myself a million times and a million times worse.' That is real depression. Knowing yourself and living with yourself. His confidence with that is powerful and there is nothing the other man could say to undo the statement Rabbit made with his verse.
I'm an old metalhead, and was never a fan of rap.... until I saw this movie. It opened my eyes (and ears) to so much. One of my favorite "music" movies ever.
@@nordello65 Yup. But for many years now they've inducted many artists outside of the strict Rock & Roll label. Now it's more about the longevity of the artist, their creative output and (most importantly) their impact and influence on music as a whole. Not to mention that both Rock & Roll and Rap share a common root in the African American musical tradition.
I LOVED this film when it came out & even got my kid hooked on it. We watched it loads of times. He's an adult now but we have so many bonding memories over movies, and this one especially.
I gotta say, the hood I grew up in, white or black, if you had bars you had BARS. We didn't give a damn about skin. But , we DID maintain a certain order (Physical). We made sure that any conflict was fair. But for Rap...I've seen greatness on both sides in grade school. You give Props where Props where due.
Fun fact, with the exception of proof, the dude who beats him in the beginning, and Xzibit, Eminem wrote all of the rap parts, and the eminem show, and the movie soundtrack....at the same time
It's been a long time since I've seen this movie and I just didn't get it when I was younger. I love how Papa Doc's back story is one we would all love to have for the most part - going to a private school, parent's with a great marriage - but because he's coming to this place and pretending to be something he's not while Rabbit is 100% authentically himself (even if that authenticity means a life of trauma and struggle), he's always going to be at a disadvantage. You can't fake good art and say that it comes from something that doesn't exist. Fake is always found out.
There is an interview that Anthony Mackie (Papa Doc) does about that last scene. Eminem talks to Anthony Mackie in his dressing room and gets real details about him and ends up using those details in his bars and Anthony had no idea what was coming. It makes the final scene even doper! Great reaction. I'll try to find a link to the interview and paste it. th-cam.com/video/3ODXNDgeBMc/w-d-xo.html
Dude you just made me wanna watch 8 Mile again after... I don't even know how many years. Today is Friday and the next Sunday my team is going to play a major championship final and I just happened to came across this video. I'm gonna watch this movie tonight to get that inspiration for Sunday. Thanks a lot, what a coincidence it happened just now!
You need to watch "the making of 8mile" and learn the truth behind this scene. That was pure freestyle rapping from eminem not a script, he was meant to mime and be preserving his voice. He flicked mic on and went freestyle off script with this scene. Wich just shows even more why eminem is the GOAT
Papa doc: this whole part is MASTERFUL. He does something here that pro wrestles call the "double turn". He solidifies his face turn and turns Doc heel. In his verses, Rabbit 1)does exactly what stated in video: he helps them relate to his struggle and shows them he survives Detroit right along with them. That is done partially through his bars about himself but also through the whole "everybody from the 313" part, a part that I don't think would have worked had he tried it in the first 2 battles. It's only after defeating the other two that they are willing to be on his side. Hell Lotto even says something similar in his verse: "You think they're going to feel the shit you say?" So what does he do? He pulls them in with some hometown crowd hype and uses that to set the field. He is tells them he isn't some poser white kid from a rich white suburb here slumming it for street cred. He lives in poverty just like everyone else. He helps them relate to him and their similar struggle. He also shows that he has knowledge of hip hop using lines they all know and love.(Halfway crook, 1,2,3 and to the 4). He also plants his thesis: I'm like you...but Papa Doc, he's a liar. 2)he shows Papa Doc for the poser he is. He doesn't struggle like they all do He isn't from the mean streets like they all are. He's not from a broken home. He's gotten real opportunities they all have not. He should be proud of his life. Instead he is down in the 313 acting like he struggles and is a gangster. But he's not. He's a rich private school kid beating up B-Rabbit because he reflects back the truth of who he is: an outsider. So we start out with Doc respected and Rabbit disliked. Rabbit slowly builds his reputation before laying himself bare, and killing Doc's credibility. He then ends it with here I am people I don't give a fuck if you like me or not but now you know who I am, you know who he is and ...Papa Doc has nowhere to go Like I said, masterful. I could talk about this battle for AGES.
i dont see a lot of people giving credit to the opening part where hes just chanting everybody from the 313. eminem preludes the exposure that clarence isn't actually from the 313 and makes the crowd hate papa doc given hes a poser
The reason the crowd is reacting to the lines which appear quite tame is because they relate to the movie. In context, they’re more cutting than they appear when listened in isolation
I was listening to Shook Ones Pt.2 while rapping the final battle in my head, & if you were to line it up… he says “Ain’t no such things as half way crooks.” the same time as the song, Eminem is just different 🥶😶🌫️
In another universe, Eminem was spitting White Hot Fire into that mic, and after he spoke that final line, the mic was red hot and smoking like crazy. And then he THROWS THAT SMOKING HOT MIC in slow motion towards Papa DOC. The intensity of everything Em just said hangs in the air as the mic falls very heavily into Papa Doc's hands. Eminem stares at him and says "yeah, can you handle this?!"
Love how much you dug this, and you're right, one of the best scenes in any hip hop movie. Em is a genius. And, yes, Polo, please do more reactions like this. I suggest Straight Outta Compton for your next one 😀
This guy breaks it down well. Don’t get me wrong but I thought reaction videos were like “I’ve never seen this before”. Maybe I’m just not up to date. But still loving this stuff man. Keep it up!
Love me some Eminem. I'm from Detroit, and you couldn't help but follow Em and wish him nothing but the best. All his shit played out in the nightly news. Eminem could hide if he wanted to. And he not only survived but thrived. Get it Rabbit! Back in the day, You saw Youngblood try..
I've been down an Eminem rabbit hole these last few weeks, he's an absolute lyrical genius. Yours is one of the few reaction channels I've subbed to. Nice one!
I haven't seen this in so long but I remember this battle. It is one of the best scenes and certainly one of most memorable, not just in Rap movies but in movies in general. Well at least in my opinion, from a white middle aged Aussie.
The Cranbrook reference always got me because I grew up in Michigan, and I got invited to enroll in that school. (way out of my family's price range), but its a reference I personally know about.
I have never been into rap much but seeing this movie was great and also reminded me of don't judge another person, I actually lived in the big D on the east side of 8 mile back then, my nephew still has a studio Big Dogg and does these battles, it's intense, Em is definitely no vanilla ice lol
Bro i’m white and that lotto verse always cracks me up lmao, i think he should have won that one, and i love em (and yes i know eminem wrote all the verses)
Eminem is the GOAT! When are people going to understand? Em grew up in battle raps. Em wrote all the raps. Including, Em wrote Lose Yourself on the set of 8 mile.
You should look up the interview of Anthony Mackie about that battle.....Em asked him in the making the movie could he use info on his real life and Mackie was confused and the stuff about Papa Doc was actual shit on Mackie...private school parents info...and it pissed him off alittle to the point Anthony went to the director and wanted to have the opportunity to say something back in the battle and not to just choke.....dope ass interview
acc eminem didnt even ask if he can use info on his real life he asked if he can add some stuff in the script, then proceeded to just google and diss mackie himself
Hi, Polo, thank you so much for this video. I hadn't seen this movie since it was first released. At that time, I knew very little about rap and even less about how to tell if something was good rap. I still don't listen to a lot of rap (I just know which songs I like) but I've since learned a bit more about what and who makes really good rap, i.e. Eminem is a genius, Ludacris has made some fantastic stuff I really like and is a great actor to boot, Missy Elliott has done some great stuff, and NF raps like he's living my life. But you pointed out so many dynamics and deeper things going on in this rap battle that I had missed, and I really appreciate that. Very informative and entertaining video - nicely done!
You asked if you should do more reactions to things like this... YES please! Then I can see where they're doing real battles of the dome like this cuz I'm not seeing them. I would love to see that, especially from your reaction because I can tell you truly love it. I'd have it no other way. Appreciate you dog!!
In an interview it said that Eminem didn't know what the other guys were going to be saying someone else wrote their part and it was up to Eminem to respond
I've watched this several times, too. It was fantastic. Besides the battle I loved what Em did right after the battle. He left and went to work. Perfect way to show the real man.
I think he was telling everybody if you from the 313 put ur hands up, this was to show that Clarence isn't even from the hood nor does he know the struggle, he acts like a gangsta but everybody knows "Cause ain't no such things as a half way crooks"
subcribed just for this video! been waiting for someone to respond to this for ages. I love this ending too. Love to see you respond to some real time rap battles like 'Don't flop' battle rap
I heard someone say one time that the rap with Clarence was an actual rap em wrote about ol boys real life parents. He didn't tell him he was gonna do it so the look of shock was legit.
I saw an interview with actor who played papa doc, and marshal researched the actors real life, and that is the info he used to write that rap. He was surprised when he did it!

I am not a huge fan, but I have to admit, "pencil" and "suspenseful" is one of most clever rhymes I've heard in a rap.

It's only after defeating the other two that they are willing to be on his side. Hell Lotto even says something similar in his verse: "You think they're going to feel the shit you say?" So what does he do? He pulls them in with some hometown crowd hype and uses that to set the field.
He is tells them he isn't some poser white kid from a rich white suburb here slumming it for street cred. He lives in poverty just like everyone else. He helps them relate to him and their similar struggle. He also shows that he has knowledge of hip hop using lines they all know and love.(Halfway crook, 1,2,3 and to the 4).
He also plants his thesis: I'm like you...but Papa Doc, he's a liar.
2)he shows Papa Doc for the poser he is. He doesn't struggle like they all do
He isn't from the mean streets like they all are. He's not from a broken home. He's gotten real opportunities they all have not. He should be proud of his life. Instead he is down in the 313 acting like he struggles and is a gangster. But he's not. He's a rich private school kid beating up B-Rabbit because he reflects back the truth of who he is: an outsider.
So we start out with Doc respected and Rabbit disliked. Rabbit slowly builds his reputation before laying himself bare, and killing Doc's credibility.
He then ends it with here I am people I don't give a fuck if you like me or not but now you know who I am, you know who he is and
...Papa Doc has nowhere to go
Like I said, masterful. I could talk about this battle for AGES.
i dont see a lot of people giving credit to the opening part where hes just chanting everybody from the 313. eminem preludes the exposure that clarence isn't actually from the 313 and makes the crowd hate papa doc given hes a poser
@@harrywang5675 "while he stands tough, notice that this man did not have his hands up"
It was over from there
The vibe to be in the last scene when that shit went hard!!!! 313
The reason the crowd is reacting to the lines which appear quite tame is because they relate to the movie. In context, they’re more cutting than they appear when listened in isolation
Bro, your voice is so awesome, it's gentle yet gets your point across, it's perfect
This whole scene was so hype. They built it up well with him choking everytime then finally he had enough and just went in
Nice reaction man. Hard to believe this movie is almost 20 years old now 🤯
I was listening to Shook Ones Pt.2 while rapping the final battle in my head, & if you were to line it up… he says “Ain’t no such things as half way crooks.” the same time as the song, Eminem is just different 🥶😶🌫️
"Here tell these people something they don't know about me" that hits EVERY time 🔥
In another universe, Eminem was spitting White Hot Fire into that mic, and after he spoke that final line, the mic was red hot and smoking like crazy. And then he THROWS THAT SMOKING HOT MIC in slow motion towards Papa DOC. The intensity of everything Em just said hangs in the air as the mic falls very heavily into Papa Doc's hands. Eminem stares at him and says "yeah, can you handle this?!"
@@godfist314 very profound. I'm actually crying rn
Love how much you dug this, and you're right, one of the best scenes in any hip hop movie. Em is a genius. And, yes, Polo, please do more reactions like this. I suggest Straight Outta Compton for your next one 😀
This guy breaks it down well. Don’t get me wrong but I thought reaction videos were like “I’ve never seen this before”. Maybe I’m just not up to date. But still loving this stuff man. Keep it up!
No hate all love brother
That's for ordinary reaction channels. Polo is beyond 😊
Best reaction to 8 mile I've seen so far. Subbed
Love me some Eminem. I'm from Detroit, and you couldn't help but follow Em and wish him nothing but the best. All his shit played out in the nightly news. Eminem could hide if he wanted to. And he not only survived but thrived. Get it Rabbit!
Back in the day, You saw Youngblood try..
I've been down an Eminem rabbit hole these last few weeks, he's an absolute lyrical genius. Yours is one of the few reaction channels I've subbed to. Nice one!
I haven't seen this in so long but I remember this battle. It is one of the best scenes and certainly one of most memorable, not just in Rap movies but in movies in general. Well at least in my opinion, from a white middle aged Aussie.
EMINEM is epic! If I have it right he wrote the WHOLE battle rap ending for the movie.
The Cranbrook reference always got me because I grew up in Michigan, and I got invited to enroll in that school. (way out of my family's price range), but its a reference I personally know about.
Man, these last battles are insane. Been watching every day for the last two weeks.
Really enjoy your commentary on this.
Need to watch this again, it's been about 15 years🤣
Absolutely LOVE this review. Awesome job.
I have never been into rap much but seeing this movie was great and also reminded me of don't judge another person, I actually lived in the big D on the east side of 8 mile back then, my nephew still has a studio Big Dogg and does these battles, it's intense, Em is definitely no vanilla ice lol
"Go cry in the car" 🤣🤣🤣 love this movie so much
I watched this movie on a whim. So glad I did. Terrific movie. It started my appreciation of rap.
Bro i’m white and that lotto verse always cracks me up lmao, i think he should have won that one, and i love em (and yes i know eminem wrote all the verses)
With all honesty, the best reaction/breakdown I’ve ever seen. Awesome work. Thank you.
Instant sub! I will always be nothing more than 100% myself, I don't need anyone to adjust because it won't change who I am.
Eminem is the GOAT! When are people going to understand? Em grew up in battle raps. Em wrote all the raps. Including, Em wrote Lose Yourself on the set of 8 mile.
Man first time seeing you and the intro felt so sincere I had to sub, great content!
I gotta say- Lotto's voice and style is dope. I don't know if he was a rapper but sounds like he couldve been.
when Em sings '' well i know something about you'' it kind of reminds me of Slick Rick
My whole childhood I was raised in the 313 ❤ Used to go to Cranbrook for field trips LOL Super ritzy school.
You should look up the interview of Anthony Mackie about that battle.....Em asked him in the making the movie could he use info on his real life and Mackie was confused and the stuff about Papa Doc was actual shit on Mackie...private school parents info...and it pissed him off alittle to the point Anthony went to the director and wanted to have the opportunity to say something back in the battle and not to just choke.....dope ass interview
acc eminem didnt even ask if he can use info on his real life he asked if he can add some stuff in the script, then proceeded to just google and diss mackie himself
I'm a fan of this channel. Brilliant! Thank you! I'm looking forward to see more of your videos.
Hi, Polo, thank you so much for this video. I hadn't seen this movie since it was first released. At that time, I knew very little about rap and even less about how to tell if something was good rap. I still don't listen to a lot of rap (I just know which songs I like) but I've since learned a bit more about what and who makes really good rap, i.e. Eminem is a genius, Ludacris has made some fantastic stuff I really like and is a great actor to boot, Missy Elliott has done some great stuff, and NF raps like he's living my life. But you pointed out so many dynamics and deeper things going on in this rap battle that I had missed, and I really appreciate that. Very informative and entertaining video - nicely done!
Love your commentary! This is my first video from your channel I am watching, will be checking out more of them soon!
I just love the “Fuck Free World! 313! Fuck Free World! 313!” chant, this movie went hard
He got all them rebuttal raps. Good Rebuttal always the best.
I still love that moment when Em clocks that Clarence is actually choking and not prepping. That pause/double take, whatever it is - is nicely done.
Bro last one that comedian analogie was really good
1,000,000,000 AGREED!
You asked if you should do more reactions to things like this... YES please! Then I can see where they're doing real battles of the dome like this cuz I'm not seeing them. I would love to see that, especially from your reaction because I can tell you truly love it. I'd have it no other way. Appreciate you dog!!
I was so happy to see someone reacting to this battle!! I absolutely love Em!
Thank you. Your input with background helped me see more understanding of rap battles
I LOVE your reaction ❤👍👊💛 One of my all-time favorite movies. And thank God they finally gave him the well deserved award! Thank you for this 👍❤️
Love the review, you definitely won my subscription, looking forward to watching more
FYI, 64 years old here. LOVE this scene, love this movie!! Music spans age!!
In an interview it said that Eminem didn't know what the other guys were going to be saying someone else wrote their part and it was up to Eminem to respond
I am friends with a guy who was literally a roadie for years. He used ro say the opening band would always "try to blow the headliner off the stage."
I've watched this several times, too. It was fantastic.
Besides the battle I loved what Em did right after the battle.
He left and went to work.
Perfect way to show the real man.
The freestyle at his factory job was an actual freestyle. He forgot to write the bars for that scene
This reaction was amazing! loved your vibe!
This movie really captured the essence of the 90s hip hop scene
Phenomenal take. I’ve seen it so many time but you made it new.
I think he was telling everybody if you from the 313 put ur hands up, this was to show that Clarence isn't even from the hood nor does he know the struggle, he acts like a gangsta but everybody knows "Cause ain't no such things as a half way crooks"
My fav part of this whole reaction … “he gon go cry in the car” 💀💀💀
This scene was epic, the whole movie was stellar
I never get tired of people reacting to this.
Oh, now I want to see it now. It is 2:44am in Southern Africa, Cape Town now.
Thank you 😊
Realist shit you said.... we all can relate to struggle. You just made me go back and watch the movie again . 💯🤜🏿🤛🏾
subcribed just for this video! been waiting for someone to respond to this for ages. I love this ending too. Love to see you respond to some real time rap battles like 'Don't flop' battle rap
I heard someone say one time that the rap with Clarence was an actual rap em wrote about ol boys real life parents. He didn't tell him he was gonna do it so the look of shock was legit.
I saw an interview with actor who played papa doc, and marshal researched the actors real life, and that is the info he used to write that rap. He was surprised when he did it!
