Lose yourself or 8 Mile

Grammy award winning song Lose yourself is what it is but I have always preferred 8 mile myself i find 8 Mile a very nostalgic song when I haven't heard it in a while it hits me in the heart everytime from the sound of the train at the start. It takes me Back and gives me that feeling more than lose yourself does but I've gotta say lose yourself was epic when he done it live in Glasgow :worship:

Your thoughts???

Has to be Lose Yourself, it's a masterpiece. Although 8 Mile is amazing too and very forgotten about at times I feel.

I remember hearing 8 Mile the first time and being blown away. The fucking chorus is so motivational for me and always makes me want to take that next risk in life, that next bold step.

But fucking Lose Yourself. Come on. It's Lose Yourself!

That shit still gets play. It's not just considered one of the greatest hip hop songs of all time but one of the greatest songs period.

If 8 Mile makes me think I can make that next bold move in life, Lose Yourself makes me think I have the power to walk on hot coals, naked in sub zero temperatures while getting shot at.

Th reason I give the edge to Lose Yourself is 8 Mile is too specific to the film. He raps about beating the Free World. He raps about his little sister. He raps about having to leave his mom's house.

Lose Yourself is much broader for the most part, save for the "and there's no movie there's no Mekhi Phifer."

I can just relate to it more.

Lose Yourself is the best hip hop song of all time. 8 Mile is great but Lose Yourself is legendary.

Lose Yourself. There's nothing like that in hip-hop.

Yeah Lose Yourself shut the whole world up. People were thinking damn. I mean Lose Yourself is the song that got me into Eminem which got me into some rap music.

Pretty much. It really made the "who left the c off rap?" people in particular do a double-take. Like "hmm, maybe this n*gger music has some merit after all."
