To make an 8 Mile 

To criticize yourself or to put in evidence something really obvious about yourself, in a way that will prevent others from doing so.

Eminem : I'm white yo
Black guy : Oh fuck, I can't say it in my battle lyrics anymore yo

Nerd: Ye I'm skinny, got no swag, red-haired and stinky, so what?
Hot chick: Oh this nerd knows how to make an 8 Mile, I so want to date him now

8 mile 

A large, 4+lane semi-highway which runs east-to-west in southeastern Michigan. It is physically the dividing line between Detroit and Warren (in relation to Eminem's movie), as well as a number of other suburbs.

On its easternmost part, 8-Mile road runs through very wealthy areas. A few miles west, you will find the Eastland Center Mall, which is very nice, but almost completely Afro-Centric (lots of stores selling rap clothing, etc.). It's all downhill from there -- it gets better once you hit Southfield, though.

Nobody can doubt that it is a racial divide. Warren, for the most part, is almost completely white, while the Detroit side is predominantly black.

8-Mile is not cool. It's actually sleazy and boring. There's lots of strip clubs and crummy convenience stores, as well as check cashing and furniture rental places.

Warren is not entirely lower-class. Rather, it is a city with many income divides. Basically, the higher the mile number (ie. 10-Mile Road), the better the area. By 12 Mile, it's completely Middle Class, and most of 10-11 Mile is too, with the exception of a few pockets of starter homes and some apartment complexes known for their drug problems.

Once you cross 8 Mile, certain parts of the city look like war zones.

8 mile 

8 Mile Rd is one of a series of roads (there is also a 7 Mile, 9 Mile, 12 Mile, and so on) named for its distance from the center of Detroit. It is generally considered the dividing line between the haves and the have-nots, though this distinction has diminished significantly in the past few years. It does NOT separate the "black half" and "white half" of Metro Detroit. These so-called halves don't exist. The area is not segregated and never was.

8 Mile was recently put into the national spotlight after a movie of the same name starring rapper Eminem was filmed in the area. The film received good reviews and Eminem went on to receive an Oscar for Best Song.

However, it's worth pointing out that Eminem's character, "B-Rabbit" did NOT live on the bad half of 8 Mile. The whole damn point of the movie was that he lived in the "wrong" area and was of the "wrong" race, but still managed to gain respect from his peers.

Eminem, in reality, grew up in Warren, a lower-middle class suburb about 20 miles from Detroit.

8 Mile Rd is a lot nicer than it used to be.

8 Mile starred Eminem and sickly-looking Brittany Murphy.

8 mile 

A road in my wonderful state of Michigan (I'll trade spotswith someone who lives in California... you know who you are, people who say your ghetto and grew up on 8-mile and are chased by popos but never even have been in Detroit)

basically it is a mile road
ex: 24 mile road, 16 mile road

It is most famous now for the role it played in Eminem's 8 mile, in which it seperates the whites and the blacks. Though it is shwown as a ghetto area, it is not as bad as East Detroit and their shitty ass school district.

ex: I was going to a Red Wings' game and I got lost on 8-mile so I locked my doors.

ex 2: "Why pay money to see 8-mile when I can see it in real life, all I need to do is drive 2 miles"

8 Mile Tourette's 

A neurological disorder characterized by involuntary freestyle raps from the movie 8 Mile and often the compulsive utterance of obscenities and complete battles from said film.

I can't sleep in because Rick's 8 Mile Tourette's is acting up and has him screaming about Clarence going to private school.
