Lose Yourself vs 8 Mile

Postby Inkredible » Nov 25th, '12, 12:54

So which song is better? Both were released on the 8 Mile sound track and considered two of his best, with "Lose Yourself" being highly regarded by majority of fans as his best song ever. Although I think "Lose Yourself" overshadowed "8 Mile" too much, and I don't think the latter gets the credibility it deserves. The concept is amazing, as are the lyrics and ryhmes, and in my opinion the last verse is one of his best verses ever. I'm not taking anything away from "Lose Yourself" because it still an amazing song, but I'm having trouble picking between the two. Which is the better song?

Discuss.

I think your right when you say Lose Yourself overshadowed it, though I still have to say Lose Yourself for sure.

I love Lose Yourself, but 8-Mile is something special. I always found the Lose Yourself chorus cheesy (it's catchy, but clearly geared as a pop-record) whereas 8-Mile is ear-gasmic. And his flow in-time with the train-wheels is just awesome.

Lose Yourself but they're both in my top 5 Eminem songs.
Fuck top five, bitch, I'm top four
And that includes Biggie and Pac, whore
And I got an Evil Twin
So who the fuck do you think that third and that fourth spot's for?

8 Mile is brilliant but doesn't quite top Lose Yourself
But what am I gonna do when the rage is gone and the lights go out in that trailer park?

I don't think I can pick. Only thing I can agree on is that 8 Mile is overlooked.

In my opinion .. 8 Mile Road is an incredible song. . . It has better flow, lyrics than Lose Yourself... I love both songs but 8 Mile Road is an underrated song, its too deep... Lose Yourself is overplayed song n' easy to understand... thats why many people think its better than 8 Mile Road... N' The main thing abt 8 Mile Road is You'll never get bored if you listen to it again n' again.....

So my Vote is for 8 Mile Road
