Track #7 on the 8 Mile Soundtrack.

During an interview with 106 & Park in 2006, 50 Cent mentioned he re-wrote his verse after Eminem hopped on it.

In the acapella bleed, you can hear a less developed beat, 50 Cent's vocals on the last hook are placed on different parts of the hook compared to release, and the sample uses a different vocal take.

Track #8 on the 8 Mile Soundtrack.

Supposedly, the line "I'm the equivalent of what would happen if Bush rapped" originally mentioned Suge instead of Bush. This line is a punch-in, and the splicing can be heard clearly in the acapella. In some live performances for this song, Em can be heard saying "Suge" instead of "Bush", however, the hand-written lyrics say "Bush", not "Suge".

The hook for "R.A.K.I.M." was written by one of Denaun's friends Vito (he never said his last name) who has since passed away.
