Template:/box-footer Template:/box-header Lose Yourself"Lose Yourself" is a song by the American rap artist Eminem, released as the first single from the soundtrack to his movie 8 Mile. Released on October 28, 2002, it was written and produced by Eminem himself, along with longtime collaborator Jeff Bass, one half of the production duo Bass Brothers. The song was largely written during the filming of 8 Mile, and plays to the themes of the film, as it is loosely written from the viewpoint of the character of Jimmy "B-Rabbit" Smith, Jr., who was portrayed by Eminem. The song's accompanying music video is a mixture of several scenarios, largely including several scenes from 8 Mile, however it also contains scenes addressing problems the real life Eminem has addressed, as well as "B-Rabbit"'s difficulties, including the ostracism by rap communities towards him due to his color, and his difficult personal life. The song itself has been noted among one of Eminem's best, if not the best. Rolling Stone ranked it one of the top 50 Hip-hop songs of all time. The song was certified quintuple platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America. It has over 6.1 million downloads in the US alone. It received universal critical acclaim, with many critics praising the song's aggressive themes and describing it as Eminem's best work still to this day. Eminem's rapping ability, the lyrics and the production were also praised as well. In many retrospective reviews and lists, critics have cited the song among Eminem's finest, as well as one of the best hip-hop songs of all time. According to the Guinness Book of World Records, "Lose Yourself" became the "Longest Running Single at Number One for a Rap Song" at 23 weeks. The song went on to receive the Academy Award for Best Original Song(the first time a rap song ever won this award), beating other nominees like U2's "The Hands That Built America."
