What's scarier is what happens when that "one moment" has passed. What's scarier, of course, is what comes next, after the triumphant chorus ("You better lose yourself in the music, the moment/You own it, better never let it go"), after the triumphant concert, after the triumphant album. As a pair of guitar chords marched forward, Eminem delivered the vivid opening couplet: "His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy/There's vomit on his sweater already, Mom's spaghetti." What could be scarier than that? Look: if you had one shot, one opportunity to seize everything you ever wanted in one moment, would you capture it? Or just let it slip?Įminem asked that question at the beginning of "Lose Yourself," the hit from the soundtrack to his 2002 film debut, "8 Mile." It's not the sort of question that demands an answer, but Eminem provided one anyway, in the form of a hip-hop pep talk addressed to an anxious wanna-be rapper.
