23 Years Ago This Day …
Eminem‘s “Lose Yourself” was released as the lead single from the 8 Mile soundtrack. The official music video, however, was released a bit earlier on October 7, 2002.
Just about anyone can appreciate this ‘lil gem of a hip hop ditty which is widely held as his masterpiece due to its enduring pop culture legacy that spans the masses. No matter your race, creed, color, gender, dialect, age, or varying if not contrary musical preferences, the “mom’s spaghetti” of this unforgettable rap can ignite a fire of motivation and resilience under your skin! This video is a compilation of 331 different cinema-graphic films that were edited together by “The Unusual Suspect” on YouTube to recreate the lyrics to it.
And so, with that, Happy 23rd Birthday to one of THE most epic songs of all our lifetimes! Here’s hoping my grandkids and their grandkids will be banging this one out of their speakers, into their ears, and straight through their souls when searching for the courage and inspiration to step out from underneath any self-doubt and fears they may have when standing on the stage of their lives just like so many of us have on our own!
