Three One Third or The 313 crew or simply The 313 is the main group of the film, Three One Third is a group of 5 people from Detroit, which are listed as follows: B-Rabbit, Future, Cheddar Bob, Sol George and Dj Iz.

Etymology

Because the film is set in Detroit, the 313 area code is mentioned several times in the 2002 film 8 Mile, B–Rabbit, and his friends refer to their group as "three one third," a reference on the area code.[1]

Trivia

  • There was a bit of controversy when it came to the scene of Rabbit and his mates torching the house in which a girl had supposedly been raped. Fearing for the city’s image, permission was initially refused, but an agreement was finally reached and 122 Beresford Street, in Highland Park, was duly burned. By the way, the site is just a few blocks away from Walt Kowalski’s house in Gran Torino.[3]
