I dunno if it was the first, but Eminem did "Lose Yourself" with the Roots while wearing a FREE YAYO shirt at the Oscars 3 years ago.

are you sure that wasn't the grammys or something?
Rolling Stone says:
While EMINEM's hit single "Lose Yourself" scored the Oscar in 2003 -- as the theme from his hit acting debut, 8 Mile -- the rap superstar refused to perform it for the broadcast.

i don't know if Three 6 have been confirmed as performers, but Terrence Howard said he definitely won't be performing the song himself and suggest that they should do it.

Eminem didn't perform "Lose Yourself" but some other guy did.

Oh I'm completely wrong, it wasn't performed.

Didn't it win anyway?
Is there a lesson? OSCAR LOVES HARD-TO-GET!
