HipHopMadness breaks down why Eminem hates 8 Mile

“Among all of the filmographies of MCs, none leaves people more puzzled than Eminem. After receiving almost universal acclaim for his performance as Jimmy Smith Jr in the semi-biographical 2002 film 8 Mile, it seemed as though his role in the Curtis Hanson-helmed flick might just open up an entirely new world for Eminem. But where some had imagined that he could follow Tupac’s example by managing to juggle successful careers in Hollywood and hip-hop simultaneously, Em mysteriously shied away from taking on any other major cinematic roles.” – HipHopMadness
