It was a revisited night of excitement at the newly remodeled Bel Air Luxury Cinema that sits on 8 Mile east of Van Dyke. This theater was the original launch for the red carpet premier for the movie 8 Mile that starred rap legend Eminem. So it was only fitting that for the 15th year anniversary of the film that the theater host the red carpet anniversary screening. The special premier was a benefit for The Verse Project, which is a branch of the Community Music School (CMS)- Detroit. In conjunction with the Michigan State University School of Music it works as an innovative way of engaging urban youth by teaching critical literacy skills through the art of songwriting and music production. Verses is made possible by support from the Marshall Mathers Foundation and Carhartt.
Your boy THE REEL HUSTLER was on hand along with Shawn P. Williams (Shawn P. Entertainment) to cover the red carpet event that had in attendance actor Omar Benson Miller, rapper Miz Korona and radio personality Bushman, all who appeared in the film. Also to walk the red carpet was retired former Detroit Lions Dominic Raiola, Rapper T3 of Slum Village, Cristen Metoyer of VH1's Basketball Wives of LA, Rico "Midwest Rico" LaVelle, producer Denuaun Porter aka Mr. Porter and Deonte "Polo Frost" Crantham just to name a few. It was like Hollywood in THE D. It was a fun night and good to see that people still are just as excited about the film as they were 15 years ago because it showed as the venue had to accomadate two theaters to show the premier. Although I did not stay for the showing I heard rumor that Eminem did show up. That's wassup and a major shine if he did.
This is my life, the life of THE REEL HUSTLER!!!
