The most awesome fact about this movie is that Jake Gyllenhaal subjected himself to the same type of workouts that fighters go through in order to be the best in their sport. But when he decided it was time to come back and make everyone realize that he was still somebody, that he could still bang in the ring, he went at it with a fervor that was all-consuming as he took himself to new levels that he’d not seen in far too long. When Billy’s wife Maureen was shot at an award function he lost everything, including his mind for a while. One moment you’re on top of the world and have everything, a great career, a loving family, a nice home, and with one gunshot it can all be taken away. Here are a few of his songs as used in movies and TV.
In that vein he’s been seen as the rebellious and innovative sort that the music industry really needed.
He’s become one of the legends of rap solely based on the idea that he’s managed to push forward against the current and has largely ignored anyone that doesn’t like him. But the genius of his music is that like so many others he’s reporting on the life he remembers growing up and what he sees in the world today, no matter if anyone agrees or not. There didn’t seem to be a lot of finesse to his music and in truth a lot of it seems kind of angry since he puts what he’s feeling into his work, as many people do. When he first got big a lot of people thought there was something seriously wrong with Eminem, but the truth of it was that he was a lyrical genius that kind of plowed his way through his rhymes in an effort to make everything fit the way he wanted to.
