Top 10 Lines from the 8 Mile Final Rap Battle Between B-Rabbit and Papa Doc

8 Mile is a 2002 American film that is loosely based on the rise of rapper Eminem.

In this Detroit-based biopic, Eminem plays a struggling rapper trying to make a name for himself in the underground battle rap scene, where he goes by the name B-Rabbit. B-Rabbit makes it to the final round of the competition, where he faces off against a member of the rival group Free World, Papa Doc (played by Anthony Mackie).

"I am white, I am a f**king bum, I do live in a trailer with my mom."

B-Rabbit takes advantage of rapping first with this technical move. He begins exposing himself so that Papa Doc cannot.

"One Pac, two Pac, three Pac, four, four Pac, three Pac, two Pac, one. You're Pac, he's Pac, no Pac, none."

As B-Rabbit is rapping this, with every "Pac" he says, he is pointing to a member of The Free World in the crowd and also to Papa Doc on stage.

By this, he means there are 2Pac wannabes who don't have their own style.

"But I know something about you. You went to Cranbrook, that's a private school."

This is the beginning of Rabbit exposing Papa Doc and infuriating him both inside and out.

"This guy don't wanna battle, he's shook, 'cause ain't no such things as halfway crooks."

This is a direct reference to the song Shook Ones, Pt. II by Mobb Deep, as the instrumental beat being rapped over comes from the song.

"F**k a Papa Doc, f**k a clock, f**k a trailer, f**k everybody! F**k y'all if you doubt me!"

This is the point where his allocated 30 seconds of rapping is finished, and the beat drops, so he raps a cappella, which he mentions in the line before.

You can hear Rabbit's anger the most here, and you can also tell he is very sure of himself winning this battle.

"Now, everybody from the 313, put your motherf**kin' hands up and follow me!"

The 313 is simply the area code of the city in which the film is based.

As he raps this, the crowd and Rabbit's friends begin to wave their hands to the rhymes.

"What's the matter, dawg? You embarrassed? This guy's a gangster? His real name's Clarence."

These lines follow up on the earlier ones where Rabbit exposed Papa Doc for going to a private school.

This is another exposure of the un-gangster childhood that Papa Doc acts like he didn't have.

"He's scared to death, he's scared to look at his f**king yearbook. F**k Cranbrook!"

These lines are Rabbit wrapping up the battle by bringing up the fact that Papa Doc attended a private school.

Nothing gangster about that.

"Here, tell these people something they don't know about me."

These are B-Rabbit's final chilling lines, which left the crowd going berserk and Papa Doc with literally nothing to respond with.

Hence, he lost the battle.

"Clarence lives at home with both parents, and Clarence's parents have a real good marriage."

This follows the lines where he exposes Clarence's real name. It's basically more proof that this Papa Doc ain't gangster.
