Eminem’s ‘8 Mile’ Soundtrack Certified 6x Platinum As Album Turns 20

The rapper Eminem received another platinum award for his 8 Mile track, right when he is wrapping the final celebration of the 20th anniversary of the project.

As per the website for the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), 8 Mile was awarded its platinum 6x certification on the 17th of November just a few days after the album’s official birthday, which was on the 29th of October.

To commemorate the 20th anniversary, Eminem delivered a Deluxe Version of the album on the 28th of October. It’s the 8 Mile Expanded Edition includes all 12 tracks originally released in the album’s soundtrack as well with the instrumentals for each track.

The only thing missing from the revamped album The only thing missing from the album are Mobb Deep’s “Shook Ones” instrumental that was a major component in the 8 Mile film and was featured numerous times throughout. “Havoc” recently revealed to Musicdope90s that the rapper had been “taken aback” when he first saw the iconic sequence of B-Rabbit’s Em performing freestyles over the beat of the past.

“I mean I was really taken aback because I didn’t even know if Eminem was a fan,” Havoc said to the during the BET Hip Hop Awards red carpet. “So to discover that Eminem was a fan, I realized that he was a fan, and then the cha-ching noise came into my head. It was the reason I bought this Fendi shirt.”

Eminem was the first to announce the re-release via the release of a special pop-up concert that included his mom’s spaghetti restaurant. This New York City pop-up wrapped the following the 20th of November (November 20) after 10 days in the Shopify space located in Manhattan’s SoHo neighborhood.

Eminem first revealed plans for the Mom’s Spaghetti restaurant in 2017 and the idea finally was a reality when Em opened the restaurant’s first brick-and mortar store within Detroit in 2021.. The menu includes $9 boxes of pasta (or 12 dollars with meatballs) as well as the $11 “s’ghetti” sandwiches, and 14 cartons of spaghetti topped with meatballs made from vegan.

The restaurant’s name is derived from Eminem’s iconic smash “Lose Yourself,” which was inspired by the classic battle rap film, which premiered in theaters on the 8th of November 2002.

“Lose Yourself” would go to become the first rap tune to be awarded Best Original Song at the Oscars in 2003. The song would later win Best Rap Song and Best Male Rap Solo Performance at the 2004 Grammy Awards and earn Slim Shady his first position at No. 1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

Eminem fans are able to keep the party going with they watch the 2022 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony has been streamed live via HBO Max beginning Saturday (November 19).

The event took place in the Microsoft Theater on November 5 at the Microsoft Theater, Dr. Dre invited his former protege to his new home within his place in the Rock Hall’s 2022 Class. He then delivered an address that focused on Em’s contribution to the game of rap.

The two then gathered on the stage to sing the hits in a medley, like “My Name Is” and “Rap God.” Eminem also called in Steve Tyler to deliver a live performance of the Aerosmith track that is featured in “Sing For The Moment.”

Furthermore, he brought in Ed Sheeran and Elton John to join him on stage for “Stan,” “Forever” and “Not Afraid,” while performing on stage together with The Alchemist and Denaun Porter.

Following his energetic performance, Slim Shady returned to the stage to deliver his acceptance speech during which he informed the crowd that the audience wasn’t “not supposed to be here tonight.”

“One, I’m a rapper; two, I almost died from an overdose; and three, I really had to fight my way through,” he said. “I’m a high school drop-out with a Hip Hop education.”

The Rock Hall’s Class of 2022 comprised Lionel Richie, Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, Dolly Parton and Harry Belafonte.
