More Music from...

It also spawned a follow up soundtrack, More Music from 8 Mile, consisting of songs that appear in 8 Mile that were current singles during the film's time setting of 1995. One of the songs was performed by Tupac Shakur, who would be the subject of a documentary with a soundtrack produced by Eminem, who also produced a posthumous album by Tupac.

There were also four songs by the Wu-Tang Clan or its members, and two songs by Mobb Deep, which eventually signed to G-Unit Records, headed by Shady/Aftermath artist 50 Cent.

Other information

The album was also made in a clean edition removing most of the strong profanity and violent content.

Both Jay-Z and Nas, at the time feuding with each other, appeared on the soundtrack. Nas contributed "U Wanna Be Me", a diss towards Jay-Z.
