Bodied is a 2017 American battle rap comedy-drama film directed by Joseph Kahn, written by Alex Larsen and produced by Eminem, his manager Paul Rosenberg, and Adi Shankar.

In January 2018, YouTube Red announced it had acquired exclusive streaming rights, with a limited theatrical release beginning on November 2, 2018.

[8] Upon the film's release, it received generally positive reviews from critics who praised its humour and meaningful exploration of certain dark themes.

Adam Merkin, a white graduate student at Berkeley, is writing a thesis on the use of the word "nigga" in battle rap.

Maya then uses an online video of Adam's battle with Prospek as supporting material for her own thesis, turning the student body of Berkeley against him.

Adam, left with nothing else, steps into the ring and takes on Megaton, who eventually hits him in the face and knocks out a tooth during his verse.

While sleeping on a park bench on the Berkeley campus, Adam watches a video of his new widespread fame on his phone and decides what his rap name is.

The film also includes cameo appearances by real-life battle rap personalities The Saurus, Illmaculate, Nocando, Arsonal, Philly Swain, Head ICE, JayGoesOff ((Joseph Geist)), Iron Solomon, Lush One, Poison Pen, Ultimate Rap League founder Troy "Smack White" Mitchell, Norbes, King of the Dot founder Organik, Aktive, Dre Vishiss, poker player Daniel Negreanu, and actors Yoshio Iizuka, Sloane Avery and Becky Wu.

The website's critical consensus states: "With its thorny themes and aggressive humor, Bodied dares to offend - and justifies its approach with a subversive comedy that edifies as it entertains.

[12] Brian Tallerico, writing for RogerEbert.com, said that the film "offers an entertaining window into a culture that most people probably know very little about, but it's also a clever take on a generation more aware of what's offensive and what's not than any before".
