The highly-acclaimed drama "8 Mile" starring rapper Eminem was released exactly 13 years ago on Sunday (November 8, 2015). Fellow Detroit emcee Marv Won battled the infamous "Rap God" in a deleted scene from the 2002 film, and discussed his longtime friendship with Slim Shady in a recent MTV interview.

So, here's how the epic showdown actually went:
"What a lot of people don't know is that on the parts where people think he's pantomiming, he was actually rapping," Won explains. "His mic was just turned off. So, I hear him rapping, but I have no idea what he was saying. Then, all I remember is, as he was turning his mic on, he was like, 'Oh, I've got something for you, Marv Won. I've got somethin' for your fat a$$... After I spit my verse, the crowd was loving me. So, the competitor in him just couldn't let that go. I wish he wasn't as petty and I wish he was a bigger man and let me have my damn moment, but he didn't."
The shot was later included on the movie's official DVD release:
Won still chats with the MMLP2 superstar to this day:
"We were just chopping it up. I had to go handle some other business up at his office and he was there. We usually will just chop it up. We're pretty cool. I see him fairly often. That's my man. We don't ever talk about that battle, but we talk about battling a lot and about music. That's really my dude. That's my man."
And he's honored for the experience of working in "8 Mile" -
"I was able to be around the best rapper in the world and see him take his first steps into acting... To have my name associated with it in any way shape or form is crazy for me. I'm always grateful for the opportunity."
