8 Mile Rd is one of a series of roads (there is also a 7 Mile, 9 Mile, 12 Mile, and so on) named for its distance from the center of Detroit. It is generally considered the dividing line between the haves and the have-nots, though this distinction has diminished significantly in the past few years. It does NOT separate the "black half" and "white half" of Metro Detroit. These so-called halves don't exist. The area is not segregated and never was.
8 Mile was recently put into the national spotlight after a movie of the same name starring rapper Eminem was filmed in the area. The film received good reviews and Eminem went on to receive an Oscar for Best Song.
However, it's worth pointing out that Eminem's character, "B-Rabbit" did NOT live on the bad half of 8 Mile. The whole damn point of the movie was that he lived in the "wrong" area and was of the "wrong" race, but still managed to gain respect from his peers.
Eminem, in reality, grew up in Warren, a lower-middle class suburb about 20 miles from Detroit.
8 Mile Rd is a lot nicer than it used to be.
8 Mile starred Eminem and sickly-looking Brittany Murphy.

A road in my wonderful state of Michigan (I'll trade spotswith someone who lives in California... you know who you are, people who say your ghetto and grew up on 8-mile and are chased by popos but never even have been in Detroit)
basically it is a mile road
ex: 24 mile road, 16 mile road
It is most famous now for the role it played in Eminem's 8 mile, in which it seperates the whites and the blacks. Though it is shwown as a ghetto area, it is not as bad as East Detroit and their shitty ass school district.
ex: I was going to a Red Wings' game and I got lost on 8-mile so I locked my doors.
ex 2: "Why pay money to see 8-mile when I can see it in real life, all I need to do is drive 2 miles"

When you use a bicycle to paint 8 miles of Astroglide onto a road and then slip-and-slide down it with an erect penis.
Ben 8-miled yesterday and it did not go well.
Meaning 8 miles away from the center of detroit. Little 12 year olds dress all bad and think they are from the ghetto when in reality they live in a nice suburb and they are rich but think they are hard core.

A person that plays on Halo, who is a total douche bag, and enjoys getting blowjobs from a bus driver named jenny.
8 mile is getting a bj while he acts like a douche on Halo.
