8 Mile (2002)

EW's GRADE
B-

Details Release Date: Oct 29, 2002; Lead Performances: 50 Cent, D12, Eminem, Gang Starr and Macy Gray...

Eminem not only brings you three solo cuts in the 8 Mile soundtrack but also introduces his new posse -- fellow Detroit rapper Obie Trice and New Yorker 50 Cent -- who further his franchise with their own sneering nihilism. Nas and Macy Gray underwhelm, but the big problem is Em's dreary production, which threatens even a dazzling verse from Jay-Z.
