yeah. hits it on the head....
i live in metro detroit, too. and I dont know if y'all know the layout of southeastern michigan, but the roads are all labelled by their distance from detroit, and they run east and west for miles. Sixteen Mile Road is sixteen miles from detroit, and will stretch a good 20 to 30 miles across the northern stretch of metro detroit.
Anyways, I live in like this huge suburban part of SE Michigan. But my house is on '10 mile rd' (if you listen to older eminem, when he shouts down ICP saying "you aint even seen a fuckin' mile road south of 10"... thats cuz they live like down the road from me.) But when that movie 8 Mile came out, all these kids living in 300,000 dollar houses whose parents were stock brokers and doctors and lawyers started acting like they were from the street, cuz 8 mile out by me is built up and rich. 8 mile down by detroit is exactly like the movie was.
ANNOYED the shit outta me! Each of those kids shoulda been slapped everytime they walk out with their pants saggin' round their asses and blaring fucking Juvenile and wearing bling like they're from downtown ATL. When I see the fuckers in this video, I think of that, and it makes me happy that at least the real bangers hate these fake posers just as much as I do.
And did anyone notice that the lead singer looked a lot like Method Man?
