Trivia
During his cameo in 8 Mile, he asked if he could just use his real name, so that he would be playing himself in 1995, when the film is set. The director decided against it, but he still managed to sneak his name as an acronym when he raps in the film, "I'll (P)unish (R)abbit (O)r (O)bsolete (F)uture.".
