Confession time: I think U Wanna Be Me is the first song I heard from Nas, like 4 years ago and I loved it.

[Atone]

so Eminem produced a track for Nas, where Nas was dissing Jay-Z? Gee, Eminem is a great friend to Jay-Z

Danny Boyle would have probably done an amazing job with it. Tarantino, as huge as a fan I am of him, I think would have been a bad choice, and he has too much of a unique, personal voice, I would have been surprised if that would have worked. I mean, Tarantino would have known if it did work, or would have made it work, but instinctively, that doesn't feel like it would be right.

Also, Em says he came up with the title and that Curtis says he did. Em says Curtis takes the credit for it, but that he didn't even know about 8 Mile until he told him.
