I think it'll do alright, but definately not as well as 8 mile. Eminem just has more popularity and the song "Lose Yourself" boosted the movie sales itself a lot.
Yea...with Eminem's "lose yourself" I think it kind of caught the older people's attention. Like for my dad, he hates rap and he says that song is good cause of the message. With 50 his "Hustlers Ambition" i think...i don't think its really doing well.
yea i have no interest in seeing it, i mean 8 mile was inspirational, moving, and thrilling, whereas get rich just looks like a lame attempt at boyz in the hood or some shit like that, i dont even care about 50s life, we all already no(i guess) that he is a ganster, end of movie
And just incase you don't get the plot of the movie (50 gets shot and becomes a stupid rapper), he's got eighty songs, a video game and a book telling you about how he got shot and became a stupid rapper.
well, 8 Mile was inimitable and now 50 is just doing next thing to increase his account
but i think i'll go and watch it, there's nothing better to watch (at least at the moment)

I think it'll do better than 8 mile, 50's first two albums sold more than em's first two, and getrichordietryin has more promotions, but the 8mile soundtrack is much better.
people are gonna watch it cuz those people are 50 fans, juss like when 8 Mile came out..i watched it cuz of Em..but will it be a huge succes and touch 8 Mile numbers..no
"I never bow down, and never say doubt/To whom it may concern and whom so ever may try/i'm forever westside and the feather-weight dies/Tell em take ya best shot gon get yourself hot/cus I yelled Bankhead and you felt left out I ain't mention yo name thats what all this bout"
i don think GRODT is gonna be as good as 8 Mile, 8 Mile is one of my favorite movies so....
i also think that people are gettin a little tired of 50, so they not gonna go crazy over the movie, most of the people in my skool r not gonna see it
Hustla's Ambition is no where near "Lose Yourself" even my mom loves "Lose Yourself" and thats a big deal
