Comments on extra features:
Of the two main features - the making-of and Rap Battles - the latter is the pick. The making-of is fine and has some interesting things about how Eminem approached the acting (and wrote the music), but the Rap Battles takes you into a world that few of us will ever see. It is the word battleground of rappers as they verbally punch each other sick trying to win the audience over. Excellent stuff.
