"He puts a lot of work and thought, into not just the lyrics, but the overall composition of his songs," said Grazer, who's also producing the Fox television show "24," a critical hit starring Kiefer Sutherland org

Hanson initially had concerns about Eminem's ability to carry the movie, considering he never had acted and appears in nearly every scene He was focused 100 percent on this movie and gave me everything I look for in an actor "Basically, both sides had pretty much the same income, but when I was growing up, it was literally black on one side and white on the other "If you win a battle, it's like being in basketball and winning a championship "And he put that level of professionalism into his work on the set
The film's subjects often refer to how street credibility is gained by living in the "313" (Detroit) area code and not the "810" area code north of Eight Mile Road, where Rabbit's trailer park is located
The screen goes blank and begins its slow ascent to the rafters of the Michigan State University auditorium in East Lansing, site of an advance showing of the film

Eight Mile Road, which forms Detroit's northern border across which Detroit's white flight took place, is the line that separates the urban and suburban, black and white

"I remember when I was battling, if I lost a battle, I felt like my life was crumbling "
As a young man, Eminem frequented Detroit's hip-hop clubs, including the real Shelter and the Hip-Hop Shop, engaging in lyrical battles in an attempt to win the respect of his peers

Eminem, http://www , leaves off and where Eminem begins
In "8 Mile," Eminem's Rabbit lives in a trailer park north of Detroit with his mother and sister, works by day at an unsatisfying job at an auto stamping plant and at night takes to the stage of the Shelter, a hip-hop club where he tries to prove himself through freestyle lyrical battles
"This movie literally took me back to that time and to that place, stripped me of all ego, before I was Eminem, before I was anybody," he said in a videotaped interview made available to the media 8-mile (Universal Pictures and Interscope Records declined requests from The Associated Press for an interview with Eminem A

Eminem wrote music during downtime of filming
"If you had one shot, one opportunity/to seize everything you ever wanted/in one moment/would you capture it or just let it slip," Eminem raps as hundreds of students rush the stage, knocking down chairs and each other at this unannounced live performance taped and broadcast by MTV this month
"When I was growing up
Goodbye, Rabbit
Thump, thump, thump
Thanks to his music and the media hype surrounding him, the rapper's life story has become common knowledge to millions: A transient childhood spent mostly in Detroit and its northern suburbs, a series of dead-end jobs, contentious relationships with his mother and wife and an ascent to the pinnacle of rap Confidential" and "Wonder Boys" said: "He's a dedicated workaholic it was a median that separated black from white, and it was not necessarily economic," Eminem said )
In the movie, it serves as a metaphor for Rabbit's search for identity in a predominantly black culture "
