Eminem has been talking about the soundtrack to his debut film ‘8 Mile’ and how he had to assume yet another mind to write the tracks: “The '8 Mile' soundtrack was different because it forced me to step into Rabbit, the character I play in the film, and write from his point of view," Eminem told reporters. "It was a challenge." The soundtrack is quite a star studded affair with rappers Jay-Z, Nas, Xzibit, Rakim, and Gang Starr all appearing, alongside Shady Records artists D12, 50 Cent and Obie Trice and appearances from Macy Gray, the Outsidaz's Young Zee, and Boomkat, the group featuring ‘8 Mile’ co-star Taryn Manning. UK release date is yet to be confirmed.
