LIKE YOU'VE SEEN A GHOST

[HailDaFins]

I love how Eminem always used his skin color in his battles (not to sound racist) but they used it against him too. All is fair in love and rap.

[84slugz]

[EazyEternalE]

@Krypto2211 oh cool thank you so the "future" guy in 8 mile suppose to be proof?

[Krypto2211]

@EazyEternalE Yea

[WZKmontage]

Is that proof?

[AftermathA]

This is not 1994.

[jejeroy]

eminem win

[DLOsniper]

@hitmanwonder1 And in the movie future is supposed to represent PROOF so sit down bitch

[jaytheman7121991]

I agree with that girl "Oh Shit"

[MrJarvisdawg]

Duplicated just because you said not too.

[sillyboy189]

Lol

[DLOsniper]

@datphatmat1234 Im not trolling u lil bitch i didnt see his face at first and i know 8 mile based on a true story so stfu and go take an anger management class

[hitmanwonder1]

@DLOsniper your a dumbass 8 mile isnt based on eminems story u lil bitch get ur facts straight its abt just some rapper tryina make, the only two things eminems life and 8 mile have in common is the 8 mile road, and a white rapper. its not abt his life dumbass u would know tht if u knew anythin abt eminems start.. smh -_-

[DLOsniper]

@hitmanwonder1 i know its not his exact life but there were a few details were. like his lil sister was supposed to be like hailie. i know the actually plot wasnt based on his life but a few details were. so stfu and quit gettin ur panties in a bunch

[datphatmat1234]

Idioits 8mile was a movie that was based on his true story, "that guy looks like the rap hoster in 8mile " that's proof, he was the first guy eminem rap battled to from 8mile and choked. Stfu And quit trolling.

R.I.P. Proof

[DLOsniper]

The guy between em and his opponent looks like the guy that hosted the rap battles in 8 mile

[ShadyWillKilBieberXD]

@DLOsniper You mean Proof?

[54cookiemonster]

Wow so hot!!! I love you EMINEM!!!!!

[aj41794]

looks like the proffessor off of AND 1

[FrosTyyBeaT]

the person he raps against here is actually kuniva, kuniva was actually in d12 haha, when eminem got famous he took the person who he beats in this battle in his crew

[lukacich1]

Its called EMCEE for a reason

[dapro696]

I dont think this is in 1994.

[jayjacobson14]

@dapro696 This is most likely pre or during Infinite which was 1996. So it probably was around that time. Especially cause after Infinite he developed Slim Shady and changed his entire flow around and the flow and rhymes in this are pure Infinite.

[duderme]

@jayjacobson14 Yeah, this is February 17, 1996

[Hachley]

@dapro696 it is, he was 21 at that time.

[prodriver256]

R.I.P big proof

[kobe24mvp81]

Eminem is an Emcee, not just a rapper

[6stringedninja]

See, this is what i like. After the raps are over, they both shake hans and respect one another. if there were rap battles like this now-a-days where im at, people would probably get beat up.

[flowboards33]

@6stringedninja I know ! people got to much pride these days nah mean

[BigSpecialK23]

@6stringedninja well actually top battle leagues like Grindtime and KOTD are very peaceful events,everyone has fun,and pretty much everyone shakes hands and gives respect to one another when its done.Battle rap has evolved nicely it just hasnt really gone mainstream at all yet besides the "Fight Club" which was on MTV,which was cool as hell.Iron Solomon,,an underground battler ,got to take on Jin,a signed MC from"Ruff Ryders"that was nice,but im sayin the underground is bettr now

[6stringedninja]

@BigSpecialK23 thats awesome! hey, do you know of any underground stuff i should check out?

[BigSpecialK23]

@6stringedninja hell yea,,just look up Iron Solomon or Dizaster or Thesaurus,,these are some of the best battlers out there right now,there are lots of good battlers out from grindtime,These guys are amazing

[RichieRichAthens]

@BigSpecialK23 they all write first....

[BigSpecialK23]

@RichieRichAthens sheeit look up wrc07 and 08 2 on2 rap battle tournament and watch thesaurus and ill mac freestyle for a whole entire tournament!,,sheeeit,,the proof is in the pudding,,you cant write for 10 different teams you have to go against like 2 or 3 times a piece,,,thesuarus is one of the best freestylers ever

[chumbucket206]

@6stringedninja Go look up KOTD that battle league has respect for its battlers/participants.

[greenilizer]

@chumbucket206 yea king of the dot is the best league around today

[Therefriedreamz2]

@6stringedninja What are you talking about? Rap battles hardly if any have any fights. Just take a look at Ahat.tv rap battles they have the best battles and not a single fight

[sorandomitscrazy]

hes the only white guy in the whole place

[IhateUrFuckinFace]

That's not 1994. It's more like '97. Anyway. Eminem & D12 recreated this footage for their video "How Come". They based certain scenes of that video on this exact footage. In the music video Eminem is wearing a "Hip Hop Shop" sweater such as he is in this footage, with the same hair style and so on. Watch the music video "How Come" then watch this footage.

[Mxracer6y]

@IhateUrFuckinFace actually no... FACT. this is 1994-95. FACT.

[IhateUrFuckinFace]

@Mxracer6y FACT! youre a retard. FACT!

[doedySLOVAK]

proof had the freads and the 2 mics, 8mile tha truth!



[Amayathyst]

"Do not duplicate." It's on youtube. Too late.

[iambitchess]

em would have won if he stood there doing the meat spin

[asinnersmind]

people stfu eminem is rapping!!!

[GamerGuyT]

Do not duplicate..

We can't duplicate eminem's skill anyway, wtf??

[brunoGRful]

Proof :( R.I.P Big Proof

[mrdizo]

oh yeah, is it a life show probably i would of even thought it was live

[bozzo234]

8 MIle was inspired by some of Eminem's real life events, but some parts in the movi are fictional, Future, is based on Proof, who played Lil Tic in the movie. (The first guy B-Rabbit verses)

[mrzackattack261]

is that murs? with the dreadlocks?

[kursaal100]

@mrzackattack261 ... proof? ¬¬

[fuckmycunt99]

@mrzackattack261 def not i dont even think murs had dreds in 93

[OreoGamez]

@mrzackattack261 Thats Proof. EMs Best friend who died in 2006. R.I.P. Also member of D12

[MunroTheShow]

I used to wear my sweatshirts inside out too when I needed a solid color.

[TheJharris13]

what real 8 mile? 8 mile was pretty much fiction. it had influences, but most of its not close to his life.

[lakaiisk8er]

@TheJharris13 are you stupid? that was where he grew up. near 8 mile road.

[buffonfan100]

RIP Proof

[Mr0607098414]

Is this the real 8 mile?

[nqrockstar]

Are the 5 people fucked up!!

[iSP1TF1R3i]

Well thank you audience, for blocking half of what he was saying. Absolutely fucking brilliant.

[vaughnsantiago1]

i cant understand what he said about bannana peels

[yomydawg09]

hip hop shop holds the best freestylers

[Mr0607098414]

Is this the real 8 mile ?

[mrmctwist1234]

5 people cant speak English

[robisons1000]

yes it wasn't



[iloveneuro]

RIP PROOF!

[CheddarBob39]

So this was the real thing that the 8 mile battles were based on. Wow, they even have footage of it. That's cool. Although it seems like it has a friendly atmosphere lol. It doesn't seem all gloomy like the movie portrays and it seems the crowd is loving him. But I know it is a short video so I can't judge.

[Jsinhiphop]

@CheddarBob39 thats because he wasnt that good at battling when he started out but he got better 

[stevensinger699]

that was the real lotto!

[0trumptight0]

im so fucking happy that i got to live through the real era of Slim Shady.

[MrHatian1]

@0trumptight0 amen

[MyDogBrownie]

wow its like Eminem just been ill his whole life. Talk about that Eye of the Tiger.

[tenaja80]

The REAL 8 mile.....

[badado]

@tenaja80 yea tht was the real hip hop shop aka ( 8mile shelter) its kinda sad seeing this camraderie n freestyles on youtube with proof and em after knowing proof isnt with us anymore though, but i truly believe thats what made eminem bounce back from the dead n strong as veer for his lil gurl n his brother proof. its like hes livin life for him n proof now more to fight for too

[joeyfl727]

lol (proof) who think my man eminem won (crowd) whooooo (proof) thats my motha fuckin dawg lol

[AdiT306]

[Francesca4002]

It's strange to see proof in this video... :(

[Francesca4002]

I'm in love with eminem... (#^-^#)

[nik1O9]

[333dontburstmybubble]

[TheRealPsychoetry]

R.I.P. PROOF

[killaXD1000]

dat future in da background haha?

[gonzofan83]

I love the way they looked before they got famous. All homely and rugged. Am really diggin on Proof's hair!

[antonhbp]

Need lyrics! Cant hear when the people scream

[csesmftw]

This was 96, but yeah.

[k9c93]

"Look my face is pale, but you look like you seen a ghost" Goddamn!

[blackblancbeurr]

@k9c93 dammmnnn! and can u write the sentence he tells just before plz? ;-) (im french and i didnt get it :p)

[k9c93]

@blackblancbeurr I believe he says something along the lines of "I get back, I dont mean to boast" I cant really understand the first 3 words of it, but Im sure on the boast part lol

[RoiReiT]

EVERYONE IN THE BACKGROUND JUST SHUT UP!!!

[Budaphly]

@RoiReiT You obviously have never been to a real freestyle battle if you think people are gonna shut up during a battle.

[movve007123456]

Look 2pac freestyle battle 1993 mutch better .....

[2koolken]

@movve007123456 2pac cant even freestyle and he even said so himself

[kdually14]

@2koolken

[Gangstarr112201]

R.I.P Proof

[chrisramare04]

r.i.p proof

[bobbywayne310]

look its future from 8 mile look just like he did in the movie (yes i know the guy in the movie was a actor) 

[MrKushconnoisseur]

@bobbywayne310 thats proof homie. and he was actually in 8 mile as the first rapper that em chokes against

[efil4aggin92]

lol 8 mile abridged

[al7omed8Ball]

0:40 Eminem wins..

[Gleecko3]

Fuck Maurice Malone

[TerryThaBeastll]

only people who made it in the whole croud em and proof r.i.p big proof

[triple6j]

its a shame the crowd noise is so loud, cant hear most of what hes saying

[AcquilasGraphix]

Haha - that was insane!

[AlecBeretz]

...THIS GUY

[cmomofilm]

That ghost line, the games fucking OVER!

[quidseeker]

Fucking m looks like a frat boy in deep trouble....hahahaha

[rminitials]

FUCK THE FREE WORLD!

[Wutwut1n1]

Rap battles still haven't changed, after one good punchline the crowd goes so loud that it breaks the whole mood and flow

[Budaphly]

@Wutwut1n1 What do you mean they break the whole mood and flow? The crowd PUMPS UP the mood and flow. You need the energy of the crowd to fuel your angst and to give you constant confidence that you're killing it. What you said makes no sense, unless they freestyle in absolute quietness over in Canada...

[Wutwut1n1]

@Budaphly I'm just saying that sometimes they exaggerate just for effect, watch the rap battle parody if you know what im sayin

[Budaphly]

@Wutwut1n1 But in this video, it isn't exaggeration. When an MC spits something powerful, the crowd will reciprocate with as much power. That's how one knows how hot his/her fire is. I can understand though if the crowd was exaggerating over an MC who isn't even hot, but in the case of this video and other really good rap battles, the loudness of the crowd fits the mood.

[forgetaboutit4000]

... this is before he was famous. The guy with dreads on the left at the verystart of the video is DeShaun Dupree Holton (proof) where a local hip hop shop use to host rap battles on weekends.

[TheKlownfish420]

you know your to good when you can't hear yourself rapping over the crowd screaming at your punchlines lol

[BOYG1234]

Why The Fuck You Cut Kuniva's part?!!!Kuniva is part of Em's crew (D12 member) and is lyrically insane but you dickriders show only Em's verse!!!

[timelex88]

fuck u all who to pull shady down,look whos eminem now

[bradsnow2468]

Proof is the one to make Em choke in 8 mile.

[Mitch23Bade]

proof is in the movie. First cat to battle em.

[elchito214]

8 Mile in 1 Minute 25 seconds.

[GTMAprograms]

@0.30 u can hear a lil kid hahahahahah was annoyoing

[speedbump6992]

proof is in the movie he aint future

[THESICKESTONE1]

R.I.P OG ASS PROOF

[MegaKwanzaa]

name of the beat?

[bapebee93]

hahahaha the guy with the dreads is David "Future" Porter. Like from 8 mile.

[xobballox]

He could have just dropped the mic after the pale face/ghost line.  That was great.

[mostiguess10]

@benu55 are there any other videos about em battling back in 94

[TheCacke]

proof <3

[bugukangbuguka]

@gingerbread117 search eminem vs kuniva. this video will come out. this is in detroit hip hop shop.

[bugukangbuguka]

@gingerbread117 thats kuniva from d12.

[JustinLevelVlog]

Seriously, Proof is big pimpin'.

[Pfeiffinator23]

He keeps looking down cuz he didn't have confidence once he starts to kill it hell look up at the adiance more, he said tht in an interveiw for 60 mins.

[88GmG]

Wow Em looks exactly the same as today!! With more weight on...

And after the ghost line we cant hear shit lol

[MagnetiQs]

 i don't like this style of rappin...no eminem no ffuckin new school like this !

[mattchew22a]

y does he keep looking down?

[ShallahJupiter7XL]

early 1996!

[happystudio1]

hmmm....94...???

[MJJAexperiance]

This was when he was struggling to make ends meet. But still, he looks like he's on top of the world, that's what I love about watching Em perform.

[Brigadier88]

To bad we cant see Von's verse aka Kuniva. :) but still a nice video.

[pohlerk]

This was his first ever battle. A future of tearing shit up awaited. Lol. Awesome.

[patsfaninaz]

This is how shit should be, the loser is a good sport and gives em props. I bet today this dude is telling his kids how he battled em back in the day.
