I vividly remember buying the 8 Mile soundtrack at Wal-Mart, just for this song, and then going with my mom while she showed some couple a house and sitting in the car the entire time BLASTING this song, trying to learn all the words. Cannot believe I was 13 years old then.
The "Eye of the Tiger" of the Modern Era (well, so says Rap Genius.) I remember being annoyed hearing this song all the time. Mind you, this was before I really got into Em.
