Look, it’s been 20 years since we all rode the emotional roller coaster known as 8 Mile.

Since we all had one shot, one opportunity, to seize everything we ever wanted, in one moment. Since we sat at the crossroads and had to choose whether to capture it or just let it slip. Yo.

We can all remember where we were the first time we heard about B-Rabbit, with his palms sweaty, knees weak, and arms heavy. We felt like we were transported to the gritty city of Detroit, where we could smell the vomit on his sweater already, possibly from his mom’s spaghetti.

He was visibly nervous but still radiated a look of calm, so we knew he was ready to drop bombs. But it wasn’t so easy for B-Rabbit. He kept on forgetting what he wrote down, and the crowd was just so loud. And when he opened his mouth, the words couldn’t find a way out. Some in the crowd asked, “He’s choking?” Others were joking.

Regardless, the clock had run out. Time was up. It was over. Blaow.

You know the rest of the story. Loosely based on the real-life underdog story of one Marshall Mathers aka Eminem aka Slim Shady aka the most skilled rapper in the history of humans.

But what you don’t know is that Seth Rogen almost played the role of Cheddar Bob, or that Quentin Tarantino was interested in directing 8 Mile but was too busy with Kill Bill.

To celebrate the 20th anniversary of one of the greatest stories ever told, The Hundreds and 8 Mile are joining forces to bring you a can’t-miss capsule that is guaranteed to have zero vomit on it.

Before that drops, here are some other fun facts you may not have known about Eminem’s feature film debut.

Slim Shady wasn’t the only rookie on the set of 8 Mile, as the movie also marked Anthony Mackie’s first time appearing on the big screen.

Shady really did have to get slim, losing almost 25 pounds to play the part of B-Rabbit, and he appears in literally every scene of the film. Talk about The Eminem Show.

Eminem’s longtime friend and fellow D12 member, the late Proof, was originally supposed to play Future, a role that was based on himself. But Proof missed the audition and the part went to Mekhi Pfifer, who almost missed the audition himself because he was nervous about flying just two days after the events of 9/11. Proof ended up playing the part of Lil Tic in the film.

Though two-time Academy Award nominee Michael Shannon was playing the role of B-Rabbit’s mom’s boyfriend, he’s actually two years younger than Eminem IRL.

The small piece of paper that we see B-Rabbit writing “Lose Yourself” on is the actual piece of paper Eminem wrote the Oscar and Grammy-winning anthem on, and it sold for over 10 racks at auction.

When B-Rabbit returns home after taking Cheddar Bob to the hospital for his self-inflicted gunshot wound, his mom is watching the aptly titled 1959 movie Imitation of Life.
