"Lose Yourself" sounds like a carbon-copy of "Fight Music"!

but, uh, better.

if he wants to demo his good ideas with D12 before putting them on a record people will actually listen to, fine by me.

bollocks to that, 'Fight Music' is much better than 'Lose Yourself' which i find a lot triter and just weaker...in fact i think Tom nailed it on NYLPM with regards to 'Lose Yourself' - the whole 'Warriors' motif on 'Fight Music' helps that track, and the guitar twangs are especially cool

Fight has a lousy chorus, though. Disorienting in a bad way.

I like "Lose Yourself"!! What did I say about it on NYLPM?

(never heard "Fight Music")

Who was it that called it Eminem's "Eye of the Tiger"? Now, THAT was funny!

i'd almost given up on eminem til i heard "lose yourself". it's ace - rocky meets flash gordon.

Did anyone notice how D12's purple pills was a dry-run for Without Me as well?

gasp!
You mean Eminem isn't really our new Dylan come down to die for our sins with limitless new ideas (or any ideas for that matter)?!?

"Lose Yourself" is the most important song of this winter. For me, anyway.

You need to get out more often, Robin.

on the contrary it has inspired me to get out more often, Alex.

its rubbish! well i think so...it only exists for the purposes of the film, and i just dislike any song which is about 'doing anything you put your mind to, maaaaan'

and i dont think 'Fight Music' actually has a chorus, which is a plus

I think his time as leper messiah is about up anyway.

I much prefer Triumph the Insult Comic Dog's version for his film 8 Nipples anyway. I believe it's called "Lick Yourself"

― Horace Mann, Thursday, 12 December 2002 17:14 (twenty-two years ago)

not to be confused with the band Triumph,
though it would be cool if the dog-puppet and Rik Emmett got together

― Horace Mann, Thursday, 12 December 2002 17:18 (twenty-two years ago)

and they could ride a 1960s British motorbike
