He said a main reason he wanted to make the show was to make sure young kids new about Eminem’s roots and his impact.
‘I wanna bring, I’m gonna bring, 8 Mile to television,’ he said. ‘It’s gonna be big. I’m working. I ain’t got no duds. I’m batting 100. I think it should be there for his legacy because it’s important to me that they understand it.’
He continued, ‘I think it should be there for his legacy, because if you don’t see… it’s important to me that they understand it, you know what I mean?’
50 Cent has been a creative force behind a number of popular shows like the Starz series Power, and its many related chapters.
He also appeared in two seasons of For Life, a crime drama that ran on ABC beginning in 2020.
8 Mile was a semi-autobiographical story about Eminem’s own rise to fame. He starred in the film as Jimmy Smith Jr, a car factory worker struggling to gain respect on the underground rap circuit.
The film won a number of awards, most notably Best Original Song for Lose Yourself at the Oscars in 2003.
8 Mile co-starred Kim Basinger, Michael Shannon and Anthony Mackie, and rappers Xzibit, Proof and Obie Trice had small roles in the project.
