* MightyWhitey: This is a common criticism of the film, in that the white rapper Rabbit is a uniquely gifted rapper whose friends are virtually all black, and that the climax of the movie shows him beating a succession of black rappers. However, the movie addresses this by making Rabbit reluctant to battle out of anxiety that he is seen as a tourist or [[PrettyFlyForAWhiteGuy appropriator]]. The final battle also ends with Rabbit winning against a violent black bully by pointing out that his opponent comes from a middle class family, goes to a private school, and likes to slum it in the hood to feel like a gangster - indicating that despite Rabbit's race, he is still part of an oppressed working class through which he can authentically connect with hip-hop culture. Also, Rabbit is played by Music/{{Eminem}}, who ''is'' a uniquely gifted battle rapper, and the film is inspired by his own background.

It's a semi-autobiographical account of Eminem's early years in Detroit, struggling to make ends meet and get his career off the ground. As such, the film is set in the underground Detroit hip hop scene in 1995. The film depicts white rapper Jimmy "B-Rabbit" Smith Jr. (based upon a younger Eminem) as he struggles for respect among his black peers.
One of the film's main claims to fame is that "Lose Yourself", a famous song by Eminem that he recorded for the soundtrack, is the first hip-hop song to receive an UsefulNotes/AcademyAward for Best Original Song.
