On the 18th anniversary of “8 Mile: Music from and Inspired by the Motion Picture”, DJ Premier showed gratitude to Eminem.
The official soundtrack to Eminem’s hip hop movie “8 Mile” was released on October 29, 2002, and brought together hip hop artists from very different walks of life, keeping this competitive spirit of the game alive even on print.
DJ Premier appeared on the compilation as part of a rap duo Gang Starr. So this particular post was also a show of respect to his late band mate and friend Guru – Gifted Unlimited Rhymes Universal:
