Packed with an enormity of excess material, Eminem's semi-autobiographical film yields MORE MUSIC FROM 8 MILE, the second compilation of music featured in Marshall Mathers' enormously successful movie debut. Although there's no further material from the controversial rapper featured on this collection, the track listing is far from being packed with mere throwaway cuts. Among the older songs that get trotted out are mini-classics by Mobb Deep ("Shook Ones"), Outkast ("Player's Ball"), the Notorious B.I.G. ("Juicy"), and Wu-Tang Clan ("C.R.E.A.M."). Method Man flies solo on "Bring Da Pain" before teaming with Mary J. Blige for "You're All I Need." Ol' Dirty Bastard also sticks around long enough to donate "Shimmy Shimmy Ya". Also contributing to this embarrassment of riches are Jr. Mafia ('Get Money"), Pharcyde ("Runnin") and Naughty By Nature ("Feel Me Flow").
more music from 8-mile a treat for rap fans, not a single bad track on the cd. It would be churlish to pick a favourite they are all equally strong in their own ways.
An excellent buy. Submitted by anthony.delaney (streatham, london, uk) Was This Review Helpful? YesNo 1 of 1 found this helpful.
