- Synopsis:
Other films have been made about him, but none have even begun to scratch the surface of what drives this amazing talent. Featuring extensive interviews with his friends, family and others who knew him in his formative years, here at last is the real 8-Mile! Using borrowed money, rapper Slim Shady recorded and released his 1996 debut Infinite. A year later, Dr. Dre discovered Slim's demo tape on the floor of Interscope Records chief Jimmy lovine's garage. Now named Eminem, he would take second place in the freestyle category at 1997's Rap Olympics in Los Angeles. This was impressive enough for Dr. Dre, who signed the white rapper and released "The Slim Shady LP" in early 1999. Selling over a million copies before year's end and landing at #1, Eminem's future was assured. - Actors:
