“There was another version of that song that I don’t even remember recording. I don’t remember where I was at when I recorded it. I don’t remember any of the verse. I don’t remember it! So when he called me one day and told me about it I was like, ‘What?’ He was like… ‘Remember the scratch version of ‘Lose Yourself’?’ I was like, ‘no, I don’t.” • It’s the late fall of 2001 and Eminem is at the height of his career, experiencing life-changing critical and commercial success off of the heels of his diamond-selling sophomore album, The Marshall Mathers LP. • He’d become such a global megastar at the time that he was actually filming a movie closely (but not fully) based on his life that would be released the next year… • To equally impressive critical acclaim, the classic Hip-Hop film we would all come to know as 8 Mile. • ---------------------------------- • https://htr.freestylefortnight.com/lo... • ---------------------------------- • TIMESTAMPS: • 0:00 Eminem Says He Forgot “Lose Yourself” Had Another Version Quote 1 • 1:29 Producer of Lose Yourself Jeff Bass Quote • 2:05 “Lose Yourself” Production Choices • 4:09 Storyline vs. Monologue • 6:29 Lyric And Rhyme Writing Course • 6:45 Eminem Says He Forgot “Lose Yourself” Had Another Version Quote 2 • 7:05 Hyper-Visual Lyrics • 8:43 Nas Talks About How To Rap Quote • 9:04 Storyline + Movie Visual Lyrics + Epic Beat = Classic • 10:21 Comment and Get your Free Course! • ---------------------------------- • Full Article On Eminem Says He Forgot “Lose Yourself” Had Another Version / eminem-says-he-forgot-lose-yourself-had-an... • However at that time, hidden beneath the shine and gloss of success lied some “skeletons in his closet” that he had yet to face… • The dark and dusty bones of addiction that he’d have to clear out of his life at one point. • “Lose Yourself” Production Choices • Lose Yourself Guitar Riff Playing • Interviewer: What you probably don’t know is that musical riff — the heartbeat of Eminem’s ‘Lose Yourself’ was written by this guy: Jeff Bass. • Jeff Bass: Yeah, the driving chunk guitar is what I believe motivated (Eminem) to write those type of lyrics and it was just a great uplifting feel. Just two chords. Piece of history. • Storyline vs. Monologue • And with this, we arrive at the first MAJOR difference between the “Lose Yourself” final version and the original demo: • Lack of a storyline. • The lyrics of the original demo start as follows: • If I was froze inside of a moment • If I could capture time inside of a capsule, an hour glass full • Of sand in the palm of my mind hand, it passes through it • If I can grasp and just control what happens to it • Then I can trap, so no more time elapses through it • If raps could do it… • And so on. The verse stays pretty much on this one topic of that one moment music hits your heart, much like the chorus describes. • Hyper-Visual Lyrics • “Interviewer: You spent all your time thinking about words. • Eminem: I found that nobody how I was at school, no matter how low my grades might have been at sometimes… I always was good at English. • Interviewer: I heard that you used to read the dictionary. • Eminem: I just felt like I want to be able to have all these words at my disposal. In my vocabulary at all times whenever I need to pull them out.” — Eminem Interview, 1:52–2:17 • Another defining characteristic of Eminem’s career is the hyper-visual nature of his lyrics. • Storyline + Movie Visual Lyrics + Epic Beat = Classic • With that being said, let’s bring it all together and pinpoint exactly what Eminem did here in the final product of “Lose Yourself” to make it classic, whereas the first one was good but not great: • First, he changed around the lyrically creative but non-cohesive verses of the demo and turned them into an easy to follow narrative that even people who hadn’t seen the movie could understand. • However, he took things a step further by infusing the narrative of the song with the storyline of the actual film. • Almost every image from the song’s lyrics itself are mirrored in the film: • The throwing up in the bathroom, choking on stage, struggles with his daughter, fighting with his baby mama, even living in a trailer… • • Full Article On Eminem Says He Forgot “Lose Yourself” Had Another Version (Continued) / eminem-says-he-forgot-lose-yourself-had-an...
