8 Mile: Music from and Inspired by the Motion Picture is the official soundtrack to the critically acclaimed 2002 hip hop film directed by Curtis Hanson and starring Eminem, originally issued on Shady Records/Aftermath Records/Interscope Records. The 16-song set debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 Albums Chart and features Eminem on 5 tracks as well as a cavalcade of hip hop luminaries like 50 Cent, Jay-Z, Nas, Rakim, Gang Starr, Xzibit and Macy Gray. 8 Mile is anchored by Eminem’s smash hit single “Lose Yourself” which earned him five Grammy nominations and an Academy Award for Best Original Song in 2003, marking the first time a hip hop artist had ever received the honor.
