YouTuber the Unusual Suspect drops latest “CinemaSings” mega-montage, this time for Oscar-winning 8 Mile track
An intrepid YouTuber has recreated Eminem’s “Lose Yourself” using dialogue plucked from 331 different movies and TV shows.
The Unusual Suspect — who has previously given the “CinemaSings” treatment to wordy tracks like Billy Joel’s “We Didn’t Start the Fire” (257 films were needed for that one) and M.I.A.’s “Paper Planes” — uploaded the mega-montage for the Oscar-winning 8 Mile track Tuesday, complete with the video evidence of where each snippet of dialogue was culled from.

While the clips — like Eminem’s wordplay — arrive rapid-fire, among the films used in the CinemaSings “Lose Yourself” are Ferris Bueller’s Day Off (a crucial “Over”), High Fidelity, Lilo & Stitch, Gangs of New York, Galaxy Quest, Blues Brothers, Spaceballs, Interview With the Vampire, Batman Returns, Point Break, Frozen (contributing a “Let it go,” naturally) and hundreds more.
In other Eminem news, the now-grandpa’s documentary about superfans — titled Stans, after the 200 song that coined the term now used to describe artists’ rabid fanbases — will premiere at the inaugural SXSW London Screen Festival this June. The rapper serves as producer on the film, which digs into the complicated relationship between artists and their fan bases.
