'''''Hot Buttered Soul''''' is the second [[studio album]] by American [[Soul music|soul]] musician [[Isaac Hayes]]. Released in June 1969, it is recognized as a landmark recording in [[soul music]].<ref name="allmusic review" /><ref name="BBC review">{{cite web|last=Easlea|first=Daryl|title=Isaac Hayes Hot Buttered Soul Review|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/music/reviews/rhj9/|work=BBC|access-date=4 February 2014|year=2009}}</ref> Recorded with [[The Bar-Kays]], the album features four lengthy tracks, including a 12-minute version of the [[Burt Bacharach]]/[[Hal David]] song "[[Walk On By (song)#Isaac Hayes version (1969)|Walk On By]]" and an almost 19-minute long version of [[Jimmy Webb]]'s "[[By the Time I Get to Phoenix]];" both songs were edited significantly and released as a double A-side single in July 1969.<ref name="LinerNotes"/>

==Background==
Hayes' 1968 solo debut, ''[[Presenting Isaac Hayes]]'', had been a poor seller for the [[record label]] [[Stax Records]], and Hayes was about to return to his behind-the-scenes role as a producer and songwriter, when the label suddenly lost its entire back catalog after splitting with [[Atlantic Records]] in May 1968.<ref name="google1">{{cite book|first=Rob|last=Bowman|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=XLdsRwpZ9oYC&q=don+davis+hot+buttered+soul&pg=PA279 |title=Soulsville, U.S.A.: The Story of Stax Records|publisher=[[G. Schirmer, Inc.|Schirmer Books]]|location=New York City|isbn=9780825672842 |year=1997 }}</ref>

Stax executive [[Al Bell]] decided to release an almost-instant back catalog of 27 albums and 30 singles at once, and ordered all of Stax's artists to record new material, encouraging some of Stax's prominent creative staff, including Hayes and [[guitarist]] [[Steve Cropper]], to record solo albums.<ref name="google1"/>

After feeling burned by the retail and creative flop of his first album, Hayes told Bell that he would not record a follow-up or any other album unless he was granted complete creative control. Since Bell had encouraged Hayes to record ''Presenting...'' in the first place, he readily agreed.<ref name="google1"/>

==Production==
Produced by [[Al Bell]] with Allen Jones and Marvell Thomas, the record was tracked by engineer [[Terry Manning]] at the Ardent Studios location on National Street in Memphis. [[The Bar-Kays]] were the tracking band, supplemented by pianist and co-producer [[Marvell Thomas]] (son of [[Rufus Thomas]]). Isaac Hayes played Hammond organ and sang the vocals live while conducting the tracking band at the same time. Much of the later production was done as part of the package of products brought to Detroit by producer [[Don Davis (producer)|Don Davis]] to expedite the production process. The strings and horns were arranged by Detroit arranger [[Johnny Allen (arranger)|Johnny Allen]] and were recorded at United Sound Studios by engineer Ed Wolfrum with vocals and final mix at Tera Shirma by engineer [[Russ Terrana]].<ref name="google1"/> The producers were looking for a sweeping orchestral sound that would enhance the rhythm tracks. The pre-delay reverberation technique, recorded in part by [[Terry Manning]] on the tracking session, had been used at [[Artie Fields]] productions in Detroit in late 1950s, and at Columbia Records; it was also used by Wolfrum and others for numerous productions and commercials previous and after the release of this project including Marvin Gaye's ''[[What's Going On (album)|What's Going On]]'' project, with orchestration also recorded at United. Russ Terrana went on to the engineering staff of Motown Records and was responsible for the recording and mixing of many hits on that label.<ref name="google1"/>

The album was released in June 1969 and peaked at number 1 on the top R&B chart, and at number 8 on the ''[[Billboard 200]]''.<ref name="Billboard"/><ref name="BB200">{{cite magazine |url=https://www.billboard.com/artist/isaac-hayes/chart-history/tlp/|title=Isaac Hayes: Hot Buttered Soul (Billboard 200)|magazine=[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]}}</ref> The edited single version of "Walk On By" reached #30 on the ''[[Billboard Hot 100]]'', and the edited single version of "By The Time I Get To Phoenix" reached #37 on the same chart.<ref>{{cite magazine | url=https://www.billboard.com/artist/isaac-hayes/chart-history/hsi/ | title=Isaac Hayes | Biography, Music & News | magazine=[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]] }}</ref>

Contemporary and retrospective reviews of the album were highly positive. [[AllMusic]] ranks ''Hot Buttered Soul'' as one of the best records of Hayes's career, perhaps second only to 1971's ''[[Black Moses (album)|Black Moses]]'', and said the album pioneered new developments in R&B music for the 1970s.<ref name="allmusic review"/> In 2020, ''[[Rolling Stone]]'' ranked the album at number 373 in their list of the [[Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time|500 Greatest Albums of All Time]].<ref>{{Cite magazine|date=2020-09-22|title=The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-lists/best-albums-of-all-time-1062063/|access-date=2020-12-07|magazine=Rolling Stone|language=en-US}}</ref>

American [[punk rock]] musician [[Henry Rollins]] has frequently referred to ''Hot Buttered Soul'' as one of his favorite albums.<ref>Rollins was quoted in 2011: "My mother had this record. She let me have it so I could destroy it on my bad record player with my awful vinyl etiquette. I don’t know why it hit me so hard, so immediately, but it did. I was in 5th grade and listened to it all the time. I was kind of surprised by that myself."[https://www.goldminemag.com/articles/10-albums-changed-henry-rollins-life]</ref><ref>{{cite web | url=https://faroutmagazine.co.uk/henry-rollins-favourite-albums-the-doors-jimi-hendrix-black-sabbath/ | title=Henry Rollins picks his 10 favourite albums ever |website=Far Out|first=Joe |last=Taysom|date=August 4, 2024}}</ref> Rollins interviewed Hayes in 1995, and the interview was reprinted in the 1998 book ''Do I Come Here Often?

Evan Minsker of ''[[Pitchfork (website)|Pitchfork]]'' wrote in 2017: "Hayes didn’t have any grand sales ambitions for ''Hot Buttered Soul'', but his long cuts and high drama made him a star, one who pried the creative doors open for the artists who followed."<ref>{{Cite web |last=Pitchfork |date=2017-08-22 |title=The 200 Best Albums of the 1960s |url=https://pitchfork.com/features/lists-and-guides/the-200-best-albums-of-the-1960s/ |access-date=2025-06-15 |website=Pitchfork |language=en-US}}</ref>

'''''8 Mile: Music from and Inspired by the Motion Picture''''' is the official [[soundtrack album]] to the [[8 Mile (film)|2002 film of the same name]]. The album, performed by various artists, was released by [[Universal Pictures|Universal Pictures']] then subsidiary [[Universal Music Group|Universal Music]], through [[Interscope Records|Interscope]] and [[Shady Records]]. It spawned the hit single "[[Lose Yourself]]" by [[Eminem]], who also stars in the semi-autobiographical movie.

The album also spawned a follow-up soundtrack, '''''More Music from 8 Mile''''', consisting of songs that appear in the film and were released as singles during the film's time setting of 1995. One of the songs was performed by [[Tupac Shakur|2Pac]], who would be the subject of a [[Tupac: Resurrection|documentary]] with a [[Tupac: Resurrection (soundtrack)|soundtrack produced by Eminem]], who also produced a [[Loyal to the Game|posthumous album by 2Pac]]. The album also features four songs by [[Wu-Tang Clan]] and its members, and two songs by [[Mobb Deep]], who eventually signed to [[G-Unit Records]]. Both albums were also made available in censored versions, removing most of the strong language, sexual, and violent content.

''8 Mile: Music from and Inspired by the Motion Picture'' debuted at number one on the [[Billboard 200|''Billboard'' 200]], selling over 700,000 copies in its first week. It sold 510,000 copies in its second week and eventually became the fifth best-selling album in the US of 2002, with sales of 3.4 million copies. It is certified [[RIAA certification|sextuple platinum]] by the [[Recording Industry Association of America]] (RIAA). The album featured the universal number-one hit "Lose Yourself", which won the [[Academy Awards|Oscar]] for [[Academy Award for Best Original Song|Best Original Song]]. In 2024, the soundtrack was included in ''[[Rolling Stone]]'s'' list of the 101 Greatest Soundtracks of All Time.<ref name="RS">{{cite web |url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-lists/best-movie-soundtracks-1235083518/ |title=The 101 Greatest Soundtracks of All Time |magazine=[[Rolling Stone (magazine)|Rolling Stone]] |date=September 24, 2024 |access-date=January 28, 2025}}</ref>

==Singles==
* "Lose Yourself" was released as the soundtrack's lead single on October 28, 2002.<ref name="ely 15 y"/>
* "[[Wanksta]]" was released as the soundtrack's second single on "12 on November 5.<ref name=" Wanksta"/>

* "Rap Name" by Obie Trice was released as a single on "12 on October 22, 2002 and was included on the album's special edition bonus CD.

==Content and censorship==

The clean version of the ''8 Mile'' soundtrack removes most of the strong language, sexual and violent content. The only word left uncensored on the soundtrack, is the word "ass" (except on "[[Places to Go]]" by 50 Cent, where the word "ass" is used twice, but the word was only censored once). No other words are uncensored on the clean version of "8 Mile".

"That's My Nigga For Real", by rapper [[Young Zee]], is listed as "That's My ***** For Real" on the clean version. In "[[Rap Game]]" by [[D12]] featuring 50 Cent in [[Proof (rapper)|Proof]]'s verse, the word "shit" is uncensored (even on the clean version), and in Eminem's verse, the words "[[White House]]" and "[[Dick Cheney|Cheney]]" are censored on both edited and explicit versions. A very rare version of "[[Rap Game]]" can be heard on the internet, in which the words "White House" and "Cheney" are left uncensored. In "Rabbit Run" by Eminem, the word "fuck" was left uncensored once in the clean version of the soundtrack. In "Love Me" by [[Obie Trice]], Eminem, and 50 Cent, the word "goddamn" is left uncensored in 50 Cent's verse.
