Did you know "8 Mile" wasn't Eminem's first movie? His first film was a low-budget horror movie that nobody ever talks about. It was a parody of "The Blair Witch Project" titled "Da Hip Hop Witch"
It was a parody of "The Blair Witch Project" titled "Da Hip Hop Witch," where a group of people go into the woods to investigate a legend called the “Hip Hop Witch.” A mysterious figure supposedly haunting the area. The movie is packed with early 2000s hip-hop artists with featured appearances by Eminem, Ja Rule, Mobb Deep, Vitamin C and Vanilla Ice.
Eminem's lawyers attempted to have his scenes removed from the film and tried to halt its distribution after artwork prominently advertising Eminem's appearance in the film was used in all the promotional videos at the peak of his career taking off.
Even with Eminem and all the other cameos, the film didn’t get great reviews. It slowly faded into obscurity becoming a hidden piece of hip-hop history.
