Essential viewing for any rap fan.
As amazing as Eminem’s music career has been, it wouldn’t be wrong to say that the movie 8 Mile is some of his very best work.
The real, gritty battle-rap world was one that people were extremely interested in, and people loved being able to get a better understanding of the culture.
We’re gonna get an even closer look at this crazy world in the new Eminem-produced film entitled Bodied.
It’s written by a Canadian battle-rapper named Alex Larsen (his rap name is Kid Twist), and it follows a student as he dives headfirst into the world of battle-rap.
The trailer shows the struggle that Adam Merkin will go through as he attempts to join a culture that feels as though he doesn’t belong.
And the movie is now available to watch on YouTube.
The movie is only available to watch on YouTube premium, but you can sign up for a free trial if you’re interested in it!
A big concern of rap fans may be that it won’t be an accurate representation of the culture, but with guest appearances from rappers like Dumbfoundead, Dizaster, Hollow Da Don and Loaded Lux, we can be confident that they will get it spot on.
