Ranking 8/10

More Music from 8 Mile brings with it all the pre-1996 hits found in the 8 Mile movie that were neglected by the 8 Mile soundtrack.

This compilation doesn't disappoint as it features some hot classics including Notorious BIG's infectious life story on 'Juicy,' Ol Dirty Bastard's debatably best track with 'Shimmy Shimmy Ya,' and Method Man's 'Bring Da Pain,' which was recently redone by Missy Elliott.

Also notable are Junior Mafia's 'Get Money,' the Method Man and Mary J. Blige collaboration on 'You're All I Need' (however this isn't as good as the video version), Mobb Deep's 'Shook Ones Pt. II' and Naughty By Nature's 'Feel Me Flow.'

Although More Music from 8 Mile is only 12 songs deep, it provides a nice montage of some of the more influential rap artists from the 1993-1995 era.
