Anthony Mackie says after “8 Mile” he was offered way too many gangster roles

Anthony Mackie has recently sat down with Jemele Hill for a new interview where the Hollywood superstar talked about working on Eminem’s movie ‘8 Mile,‘ revealing he was offered too many gangster and rapper roles afterwards:

“After 8 Mile, I was offered every rapper, every gangster in every movie and then there were certain movies that I wanted to audition for that my reps were like, ‘After doing 8 Mile, I don’t think you should do that. So it was a conscious decision on their part that became a conscious decision on my part. Early in my career, I would say six times out of 10, the roles that I was auditioning for were written for white dudes. When I auditioned for Hurt Locker, Hurt Locker was written for a white dude, 8 Mile wasn’t even written.” said Anthony Mackie.

Anthony Mackie tells how studying Shakespeare helped him play on Eminem’s “8 Mile”

One of the Hollywood’s power players, Anthony Mackie, whose latest film, Outside the Wire, is currently trending on Netflix, has recently visited Hot Ones on First We Feast where the host asked the actor how did he prepare for a Papa Doc role in Eminem’s 8 Mile movie, on which he replied:

“You know what’s interesting? I find myself very lucky to have studied Shakespeare. When you look at Shakespeare, the way he wrote, he wrote in verse. So the idea of approaching a rapper from the perspective of an actor, you are really just speaking in poems. I always said, one of the greatest rappers that ever lived was William Shakespeare. So It helped a lot as far as being able to understand the cadence, the verse, the meter and putting those words in rhyming couplets and into form.”

Dem Jointz talks about working process with Eminem for “MTBMB”

In a new interview with HotNewHipHop, Aftermath producer Dem Jointz opens up about working with Dr. Dre and the working process with Eminem on his latest album, “Music To Be Murdered By”

Interviewer: Before we wrap, I see your name in the credits for Eminem’s latest album. I was curious about what those sessions were like? What was your approach to working with Eminem?

Dem Jointz: It was super dope. We were collaborating in the studio and Eminem came down to LA to be creative with us. They shut it down to where he had his studio in the back and we were working up front. It was super dope because he would hear us bumping something and he would come up behind us like “What was that? Play it again.” He’ll be in his head and then be like “Can you send me that?” and then go back to the room. It’s crazy that he can create something that can make someone double-take like that. It was dope. It was like when we did “Medicine Man” you hear Eminem on your track and it’s like WOW this is crazy! Let me try making this the best thing ever.

Tom MacDonald talks Eminem inspiration: “I wouldn’t be here without him”

Tom MacDonald, who has recently namedropped Eminem on a track “Fake Woke,” did an interview on Before They Were Famous where he talked about Slim Shady influence and how much toxic can Twitter and Eminem fans can sometimes get:

“I think that Eminem is such a prolific character in hip-hop, and rightfully so, but his fanbase is just so blinded by fandom. I’ve owned every album Eminem put out with the exception whatever he put out last few years. When I was a kid he was my go-to. I was so much inspired that I would not be here right now without Eminem. But just because Eminem inspired me and he’s the greatest of all time, does not make him immune to criticism. That’s how his fans feel. So just mentioning his name in the song it started a whirlwind of s**ts.” said Tom.

I’m like sure go ahead. So before the entire 8 Mile final battle, he googles about me and learns about me and he basically makes fun of me as Papa Doc. [Laughs] And then I’m like ‘you getting little personal Mr. Marshall… I didn’t really go Cranbrook, but I did go at private school [laughs].” said Anthony Mackie

D12’s Swifty McVay sides Eminem regarding Snoop Dogg situation

D12’s Swifty McVay has recently talked about the recent tension between Eminem and Snoop Dogg and what he feels will be the outcome.

“I just think as soon as they get into a room and talk to go talk about it and they go squashy. I don’t think it’s super deep. I still feel where Em is coming from when I heard the interview. Being on the same camp, in the same team, his opinion is his opinion, which is super cool. But when he said that I can live without his music it would just kind of make you question what does that mean. Do you mean that you know, you really don’t f**k with his music like that, you know it rolls a little eyebrow.”

“I have not talked to Snoop, he might mean something totally different than my perception of it but when I heard it when you on the same team as somebody, you don’t give no question mark, you don’t make anybody feel like they have to question if you f**k with him or not and it just kind of made me feel like damn Snoop you really f**k with his music like that… or not and If you’re on the same team you wouldn’t let the crowd walk off with that type of thought, you know that’s just in my opinion. I think they’re both icons, both dope.” said Swifty McVay

MAJ tell really inspiring story, who like a lot of people, grew up being inspired by Eminem. And now years later he has a song with the legend himself. Check the new interview blow:

“It was really crazy. When I heard I would be on new Eminem album, it was November. I was chilling in my room. And my manager called me, saying, you are not going to believe what happened. They didn’t tell me who was it. Eminem is very secretive person when it comes to drops and when he’s releasing he doesn’t want a lot of people to know about it.”

“When they sent me the track, there was only a hook, different artist singing. And I was like ‘Okay, will do that.’ I made the hook and like in two hours later I called my manager and told him ‘you gotta tell me who I’m doing this for’ and then he made me guess. And when I head it was Eminem… WHAT? Are you serious?!”

“Eminem does not reach out to people. He’s not that type who constantly seeking for stuff like that. He’s legend. He does not have to do any of it. It was so crazy to believe. It was hard to wrap that around my head.”

“That’s idol. He was literally telling me that I’m so talented, amazing, gifted. I was like ‘bro you f**king Eminem. You can’t be telling me this. He literally said I was gonna blow up. That was insane to take it in. It’s crazy to think about being a part of his discography, just being huge fan of him while growing up. Listening to his music. Watching my dad and mom listening to Eminem around me when I was young. It’s insane to be a part of this.”
