Despite the often humorous content of his songs, there are many dark under tones in them as well. Eminem, since he burst onto the music scene in 1999 with his critically-acclaimed/lambasted album "The Slim Shady LP", he has been met with a lot of controversy, as well as praise. Eminem's hit single "Lose Yourself" really does have a lot emotion put into it. The film also has one of the best soundtracks I've heard in a long time. It's quite obvious that some people will not like "8 Mile", just because of Eminem's controversial history. This does not mean we will be hearing him thanking his producer Paul Rosenberg next year at the Oscars, but we can expect to him to receive a lot of praise for future movie roles. Eminem proves here that he really can act and in fact may have a future in motion pictures. Things in Rabbit's life take a turn for the better when he later falls in love with Alex Brittany Murphy, an aspiring young woman who dreams of becoming a model and moving to New York to start life a new."8 Mile" certainly is a moving and very touching drama.

Rabbit's mother Kim Basinger, is on the verge of being evicted from her home and is slutting around with a man who is about the same age as her son. He's broke, has no place to live, he's stuck in a dead-end job at a steel mill, and his girlfriend Janeane Taryn Manning has fooled him into thinking that she is pregnant.

Problem is that Future often makes his decisions before consulting with Rabbit first.
