How does The Booth feel about the movie "8 Mile"

[OfTheCross]

I mean...it is a Hip Hop movie...

I didn't not like the movie when I saw it.

The battle raps were entertaining enough.

But for some reason I don't think we care about it.

Paid in Full is somehow more beloved in the community.

shyt was huge when it dropped. Best part to me was the 90s nostalgic soundtrack...

This is how he actually blew up. We tend to take everything we see on tv and in the movies as fact. Just as history influence and shape minds and sound and visual and imagine the impression that leaves

It's the reason why most who never physically saw the real malcom x at times if you mention his name will initially think of the iconic move starring Denzel Washington

Or if you don't know Ray charles you will initially think of Jamie fox and his portrayal

Even older charlton Heston in Ten Commandments I don't subscribe to any of that b.s.
But many first impressions and thoughts are of him as Moses and those things took place

The machine behind em that pushed him to the forefront this movie iconic producer Dr. Dre street Cred with a guy who got shot "9" times 50 it took a lot to solidify and get him accepted into some black people's homes and playlist rotations
But not mine

hate em but it's a classic hip hop film

All I know is that shyt made me want to smash Britney Murphy so bad. RIP.

 

[Scoop]

Booth would love it if the lead was black

Paid in Full is a great movie by any standards. 8 Mile is solid, the battle scenes get me hype, looking back it was crazy overrated at the time it came out though.

It's up there as one of the best hip hop movies ...arguably the last real hip hop movie... Pretty much purple rain but replace the performances w battles...what movie portrays the battle rap scene as realistically as 8mile does? Dope soundtrack as well w good acting as well...all around solid movie, anyone who says otherwise is just saying so cuz it's cool to b on the "fukk that CAC eminem " bandwagon
