Today's Pick

To accompany the release of new "Shady XV" compilation in stores today, Eminem unleashed the inspirational, boxing-themed music video for "Guts Over Fear," a triumphant single focused on resiliency in the face of adversity, and featuring Australian singer Sia. Follow your dreams. Fight your fears and overcome the odds! Here's the heavy new video, focusing on an aspiring boxer's path from poverty to redemption, we've all been waiting for.
Eminem has become a master motivator and With his latest, the Sia-assisted synth heavy empowering "Guts Over Fear," he was certainly at it again. The rapper wrote this uplifting, anthemic song for the closing credits song for Denzel Washington's movie "The Equalizer," the big screen re-imagining of the late 1980s TV show. It finds Eminem reflecting on his own struggles as an artist, and touches up on moments of his career as he hopes how his story of overcoming a difficult childhood will continue to inspire others.
Filmed in Detroit, the clip, directed by Syndrome, opens with an athlete preparing for a fight backstage. But the action jumps back six months earlier to show his downtrodden home life and out on his luck as he struggles to pay the bills and provide for his alcoholic father who never believed in him and pregnant girlfriend. As family and work issues continue to mount. But, luckily, our protagonist puts his guts over his fear, and takes out his frustrations on his opponents, continuing to build his boxing skills.
Eventually, we see him inch towards greatness. With a shiny red robe on, he heads out to a ring in front of a packed house for what looks to be a title bout. Eminem's lyrics mirror the story, as he raps in his classic rapid-fire cadence about escaping from the trailer park into the world's stadiums. "The crazy part/ Was as soon I stopped singing I gave a fuck/ Haters started to appreciate my art," he rhymes over dark piano and a skittering beat. Meanwhile, Sia builds momentum with her soulful chorus hook about how she now feels emboldened in the face of adversity.

It's Mother's Day, so what better time for Eminem to release the touching short film for "Headlights," the fifteenth track on his latest eighth studio album, "The Marshall Mathers LP 2," which debuted at No.1 on the Billboard 200 last November. "Headlights," which features .Fun frontman Nate Ruess, is a long-awaited apology from Eminem to his mother Debbie Mathers after spending years negatively referencing and trashing her on his past albums, and this new video a surprising ode and appears to have an opportunity to repair their relationship.
Eminem opens up about his past on "Headlights," a really personal song with heartfelt message that addresses his relationship and appears to make amends his mother who he has skewered lyrically on previous offerings. Eminem has had a difficult relationship with his mother since childhood. In his music, Eminem has had a history of insulting his mother on various tracks. "Headlights" is an apology to his mother for the years of verbal abuse and "his plea for a united, or at least less dysfunctional, family." The title "Headlights" is a reference to their last meeting. As she drove away, he became fixated on the headlights of her car as he coped with feelings of "overwhelming sadness."
The pair remain estranged, although Eminem reaches out to her here offering the sincerest of apologies. Eminem specifically references the hurt caused by his The Eminem Show hit song "Cleanin Out My Closet," where he heavily criticized his mother for neglecting and mistreating him. The rapper explains it as an angry moment, adding that he no longer plays it at shows and he cringes every time it's on the radio. Eminem’s mother Mathers would like nothing more than to improve her estranged relationship with her son, and she believes "love will find a way home," two longtime friends of Mathers said. And that opportunity could present itself after a much-anticipated short film released on Mother's Day.
The heartfelt new video was directed by legendary filmmaker Spike Lee, which was shot in the rapper's hometown of Detroit. Shot mostly from the first-person perspective of Eminem's mother Matters, the four-minute video explores the troubled relationship between the rapper and his mom and eventually finds the two reconnecting after years of fighting. It is essentially a four-minute plea for forgiveness to mother and a fairly extreme reversal for the rapper after all. Watch the video below.

After topping the charts with their 2010 hit "Love the Way You Lie," Eminem and Rihanna reunite in his career-spanning video for their latest hit "The Monster," the second official single off rapper's eighth studio album "The Marshall Mathers LP 2." Directed by filmmaker Rich Lee, the clip sees the 41-year-old rapper reflecting on his career and life, recreating scenes from iconic moments in his career including the videos for "My Name Is," "Lose Yourself," and "The Way I Am." Solid visual for a solid song.
We hear Eminem attacking his internal demons on his verses whilst Rihanna embraces her inner monster on the hook. The Folk-flavored, EDM-amplified production was supplied by New York-born DJ and producer Frequency. Eminem said that it wasn't just Rihanna's vocal gifts that persuaded him to link up with her again. "The perception of the record, what it's saying, I thought it would be a good idea to have her on it because I think people look at us like we're both a little nuts," he told MTV News' Sway. "That's one of the things that I was telling her in making the record: I think that people look at us a little crazy."

The song, a career highlight and a personal rhyme about his history, focuses on Eminem's ongoing struggles with fame, and his desire to live a normal life. "It was this thing where I want this attention for this music, but then I want to be able to go in public, and I want to be able to eat a f***ing sandwich and be left alone," Eminem admitted during an interview with BBC Radio 1 DJ Zane Lowe. "I've never been an attention seeker, and [rap] seems like a hell of a career choice [for me], but... that's not why I do it, just to get attention. I don't like to go in public and walk around and be like 'Here I am.' It's not what I want."

The promo opens with Eminem sitting in a therapist office as Rihanna - complete with cropped black hair - plays his therapist as she scribbles notes on a pad. A TV nearby plays retro Eminem clips on a loop as Marshall Mathers, the man, appears to slip into a state of hypnosis. Down the rabbit hole he goes or more accurately a free-falling elevator shaft. As he tumbles, visions of Dr. Dre, 8 Mile, Elton John and several iconic moments from his career flutter by. In the end, Eminem comes face-to-face with his formerly drug-addicted self, choosing to turn around and walk the other way.

Eminem has unveiled a new dark video for his new track "Survival" from the "Call of Duty: Ghosts" video game. The Slim Shady goes back to the Detroit neighborhood where he grew up for the visuals of his new song, and it finds the Detroit rapper shows up spray-painting a ghostlike face onto the side of a building as he raps about what sounds like his journey through the music world, which he characterizes as a fight between fame and artistic expression. The track was also the second single from his upcoming eighth studio album, "The Marshall Mathers LP 2," hits stores on November 5.
Produced by DJ Khalil, "Survival" marks Eminem's return to recording, a much-anticipated comeback since his last album "Recovery," which carried the hits "Not Afraid" and "Love the Way You Lie" was released in 2010. Soon after dropping "Survival," Eminem quickly followed it up with the single "Berzerk," the Rick Rubin-produced old school hip-hop track that sampled Billy Squier's "The Stroke." The hard-hitting joint finds Eminem celebrating his return in typically grand fashion over breakneck, arena-rock guitars and trashy drums.
"Survival" shows the man born Marshall Mathers at an aggressive peak, delivering cuss-filled lines about his return as Eminem raps about what sounds like his journey through the music world, which he characterizes as a fight between fame and artistic expression: "I'm... back again with another anthem/Why stop when it doesn't have to end?" He continues, answering his own question while the bombast of distorted electric guitar and a jumbo beat offer foundation. Eminem said: "The song's about fighting back and it seems like it fits 'Ghost' perfectly."
The gloomy visuals takes viewers back to the 40-year-old rapper's neighborhood in Detroit, chosen as the appropriate location for the storyline where Eminem is the leader of a stencil skull graffiti-making crew of masked artists that spray paint the streets. Images from the video game also play in the background in those scenes where the Grammy winner raps the verses to the DJ Khalil-produced tune featuring Liz Rodrigues. The clip ends with Eminem checking out a house with the number 19946, representing the Dresden Street home where he spent his formative years in Detroit. Watch Eminem's dark video for the meaningful song below.

Eminem flexes in front of a super-sized boombox with Kendrick Lamar, Rick Rubin, Kid Rock in a clever VHS-inspired promo for his celebrate old-school hip-hop tune, "Berzerk," the first single from Eminem's upcoming eighth studio album "The Marshall Mathers LP 2," which is due out on November 5th, and making it a sequel of sorts to 2000's "The Marshall Mathers LP." Of course, The 40-year-old inimitable and unmistakably rapper has released several albums since then, including his last effort, 2010's "Recovery," but hasn't managed to capture his former glory.
Marshall Mathers returns in rabid, pop-hook-baiting form. With both Dr. Dre and Rick Rubin on board, the song "Berzerk," promises to "take it back to straight hip-hop / and start it from scratch." Fittingly, this metal-rap rant has an old-school feel that evokes the late Eighties and especially samples Billy Squier's "The Stroke", as well as the Beastie Boys' "The New Style" and "Fight for Your Right," both songs taken from their 1986 debut album "Licensed to Ill," which Rubin had also produced. The punchy, guitar-and-beats driven song starts with a blast of static, hard guitar and Eminem roaring out of the gate sounding like the long-lost, fourth Beastie Boy.
Eminem delivers the lyrics with his familiar staccato flow, winding circles around the beat and building up to the hook, in which he declares, "Life's too short to not go for broke." The word 'bezerk' is used to describe a person who is acting in a wild rage or in an uncontrolled and irrational manner. It derives from the Old Norse word berserkr meaning "bear shirt" and was used for Germanic warriors who had the reputed habit of wearing a kind of shirt made from the pelt of a bear during battle. According to Old Norse literature these bezerkers were fierce warriors, who fought in a nearly uncontrollable, trance-like fury.
The Detroit native reaches back to earlier days for the song's new video, which was filmed in Eminem's hometown Detroit, Michigan and directed by Syndrome, as Eminem raps "Let's take it back to straight hip-hop and start it from scratch," in front of a super-sized boombox to celebrate old-school hip-hop, with shoutouts to new-school labelmate Kendrick Lamar, triple-entendre punch lines and a mob-chant chorus. Eminem also sports vintage Detroit Pistons gear amidst snippets of found footage, short clips of backyard wrestling as well as short clips of the official music video of Billy Squier's "The Stroke." It's nice to see Eminem publicly tip his cap to the Beasties since they undoubtedly paved the way for him, and seems he's having plenty of fun after his "Recovery."

Taking aim at the hyper-sexualized culture of youth in America today, Skylar Grey has released a pretty funny sarcastic visual for her just-released catchy single, "C'mon Let Me Ride," the lead single from Grey's upcoming major-label debut album, "Don't Look Down," which rapper Eminem executive produced and scheduled to drop next spring. It looks like an old school Eminem video, which is fitting considering he makes a guest appearance on his trusty bicycle with all the zaniness going on.
The colorful and quirky "C'mon Let Me Ride," is a girl's plea for her crush to let her ride his bicycle. Only this boy and his two-wheel choice of transportation lives in the trailer park. Grey's grunge, edgy vibe causes her to stick out like a sore thumb from the other girls in the neighborhood with their faux tans and skimpy bikinis. Since Grey sings about wanting to ride a man's bicycle, the video also features several customized bicycles. Climbing on top of her crush makes him think she wants to seduce him, and she does, according to the lyrics. Instead she takes the cash. Chicks in bikinis continue to run through the 'hood.
Eminem has certainly mastered the art of parody and Grey takes a chapter from his book with visuals that are intended to poke fun at America's overly sexualized society and beyond. As she serves up some revenge and turns up the jokes in this trailer park-inspired clip. That sarcasm comes through pretty song as the video shows a scene of her playing Dr. Grey, a shady plastic surgeon whose results are only slightly exaggerated from what can be seen around Hollywood. To get her man's eyes off the models in his magazines, Grey offers them free tans that turn them orange and plastic surgery that results in face transplants that she conducts, ever so delicately, with a chainsaw.
As for Eminem, who brings high-wattage star power, drops a guest rap and the auto-tuned refrain from Queen's 1978 song "Bicycle Race," and trying to pedal away on his lowrider tricycle that's attached to a packed kiddie pool. Grey simply laughed at its absurdity. She explains to MTV News, "I'm poking fun at the overtly sexualized aspect of everything in this world today. The video is a combined effort between director Isaac Rentz, me and Eminem, and we just wanted to make sure it was very clear that it's a sarcastic song."

50 Cent just released his dark and gloomy action-packed video for "My Life," which the 37-year-old G-Unit hip-hop mogul has enlisted some major star power from his Shady partner-in-crime Eminem and Maroon 5's frontman Adam Levine. The new rap track is the third cut from his upcoming fifth 'more personal' album, "Street King Immortal," which has been delayed to be released on February 26, 2013. And their latest visual is really intended to get a message across.
The track, which premiered yesterday, finds the rappers spitting about their individual struggles the pressures of fame over the years, and expressing some melancholy and confusion of their lives as the singer touts the whole reason this may be a hit. 50 Cent speaking on his journey from the streets to the fame and having friends turn to enemies. After Levine croons on the hook with an undeniable earworm, Eminem reveals that he may not have been ready for the fame that followed "Recovery," but his guest verse is the best thing he's done in 2012.
50 Cent is a weird case among rappers, isn't he? He put out one of the best-selling hip-hop albums of all time in Get Rich or Die Tryin', and his personal narrative is as ingrained in the popular consciousness as any mainstream star’s of the past two decades. On the other hand, he's had a string of duds and non-starters, both in the music world and in the straight-to-DVD universe. But he's still a prodigious talent, and his upcoming album "Street King Immortal" might be the thing that puts him back on top of the rap world.
The Rich Lee-directed video might seem like a simple fugitives on the run from law enforcement story as they desperately try to escape a tenacious helicopter that relentlessly follows them throughout their environments, but it's actually a metaphor for life under the spotlight. The high-budgeted, action-packed is a perfect illustration of the difficulties they face day by day. As Eminem described: "The video is kind of abstract; it's kind of metaphoric in a sense, like the paranoia of feeling like we're being chased. Whether it's true or not, it's kind of how we feel. It's kind of a metaphor for us running for our lives. Personal lives and from fame, everything that goes with the game."

Rapper Eminem falls into a deep hole over another wrecked relationship and decides to put a bullet through his head in his new video for his latest song "Space Bound," the fourth single from his year-old Grammy-winning album, "Recovery," which heralded the singer's return after a long period of elf-discovery, in which he kicked drugs. Once again Eminem is plagued by his inner demons in his new video for "Space Bound," only this time they manifest themselves in the form of his own evil twin. Blaming no one but himself for the pain that he feels is self-inflicted.
This acoustic ballad was written by Eminem with British songwriter Steve McEwan, and Florida producer Jim Jonsin, the latter having produced the track, it finds Eminem getting contemplative. The new song is catchy and even soothing, despite its painful lyrics. In an interview with Billboard, Jonsin said he went for a "soulful, Southern rock feel" for the beat and heard from Eminem's music manager Paul Rosenberg shortly after sending the demo. Within three days, Jonsin met Slim Shady in Detroit. "He had already done his vocals before I got there, so we just polished it up and tried out other song ideas," he said.
The video was shot in Santa Clarita, California by director Joseph Kahn and features former porn star and Hollywood actress Sasha Grey as Eminem's leading lady. The video is a look into another one of Eminem's tumultuous relationships, as he has been showcasing lately. It shows two sides of Eminem; one who is calm and loves his girlfriend and one who is aggressive and doesn't. Eminem has long had an obsession with death and violence, including the self-inflicted kind, and those themes are laced throughout the dark and dramatic video.
The clip opens with Eminem walking on a fog shrouded road at night, near a forest. Shortly after, he gets picked up by his love interest(Grey). Double visions of the rapper appear: one alone in the back seat, who is angry and hurling insults at Grey and one sitting in the car next to Grey who is quiet and calm. Eminem is driven over the edge when he finds out his girl has been cheating on him. The heartbreak is too much to bear. He increasingly loses touch with reality, becoming delusional as his opposing personalities clash. The only solution seems to be the gun. He puts it up to his chin and pulls the trigger. The video then rewinds fast, and everything plays back from end to beginning, causing us to have second thoughts about the true meaning of it all.

The return of Dr. Dre brings forth some melodramatic moments in the newly released nostalgic promo for his comeback single, "I Need a Doctor." The song features the Hip-Hop legend's one-time protégé Eminem whilst Skylar Grey sings the hook, is the second single taken from Dre's eagerly awaited third studio album, "Detox," which is still has no release date. It's a pretty damned epic return for a man who's about to drop the most anticipated album in Hip-Hop history. The certified smash video's taking a retrospective look at some of veteran producer's greatest moments while simultaneously telling a story about him recovering from a car crash.
Why is "I Need A Doctor" such a brilliant single? Well, first of all there's the production from British knob-twiddling whizz Alex da Kid, which has a similar gravitas and bone-rattling bombast to his work on "Love the Way You Lie" and "Airplanes." Then there's the haunting chorus, delivered by Diddy's "Coming Home" bud Skylar Grey, which inhabits you from first listen. However, what elevates "I Need A Doctor" from 'very good' to 'a little bit special' are the performances of rap duo, Dre and Eminem. That single manly tear dribbling down your cheek? Entirely, entirely justified.
As for the song it seems to be classic Eminem mostly, once again teaming up with a female vocalist Grey to off set his rapping. Ever since her breakout performance on the 2011 Grammy Awards alongside Eminem and Dre, the 25-year-old Wisconsin native has exploded onto the scene and shows no signs of letting up. The song also finds Eminem delivering grateful lyrics about his mentor believing in him in his early days and now returning the favor, before Dre delivers the song's final verse. Dre and Eminem have shared a friendship and musical bond throughout Eminem's career. Eminem must save his mentor from death and recording inactivity in the dramatic video for "I Need a Doctor."
Reflects on the Detroit rapper's career, the dramatic and epic video contemplating Dre's past, present, and future before having a severe car accident, leaving his Eminem wondering whether his friend and collaborator will survive. It then flash forward to the present, with Eminem professing his love and appreciation to the Doctor who gave him a shot at fortune and fame when everyone else dismissed the bleach blonde-haired rapper as a gimmick. After Eminem's pleas, Dre eventually recovers from the car accident and manages to get himself back to health. The video features Grey's urgent and haunting vocals, who appears as a ghostly apparition. "I play a rehabilitation doctor and kind of bringing Dr. Dre back to life," she shared.

Eminem's new video for "No Love," a collaboration with Lil Wayne, premiered last Thursday night on MTV, and it sends a powerful message, in line with much of his latest album, "Recovery." This time around, Eminem focuses on teen bullying, with a subplot featuring a small teen who's the target of harassment from his fellow classmates. The track, which is third single from Eminem's double-platinum LP, is set to be released to radio next Tuesday. Eminem fans have plenty of love for their beleaguered hero.
This angst-ridden track was produced by Just Blaze. The two MCs previously worked together with Drake and Kanye West on the single "Forever" and as a pair on Wayne's "Drop The World." However, this is the first instance of the duo trading rhymes on the same song. The song is about people who have let Eminem and Wayne down in the past and also contains a sample of "What Is Love" by Trinidadian Eurodance musician Haddaway. Eminem told Billboard magazine: "I did a song with Wayne called 'Drop the World for his album and we had just agreed to do an even swap, so I wanted him on my album. I kind of waited, and when [producer] Just Blaze had finished that beat we jumped on it."
The video opens with a close-up of a sad kid with bruises on his face, presumably from the dodgeballs three bigger guys pelt him with in the next scene. Further scenes of locker-room torment are intercut with Wayne delivering his sharp, sullen opening verse on a smoky all-black set. Eminem, meanwhile, is at a recording studio laying down his even angrier vocals with a very serious expression on his face. Dude is not kidding around! But our young hero is still being harassed by those older jerks. The video goes on like this for a while before the kid, empowered by Em and Wayne’s ferocious lyrics, stands up to his persecutors at last and gives them an epic lunchroom beatdown.
The video for "No Love" has received a huge amount of hype as two of the biggest names in the Hip-Hop industry are seen together after years. Both the stars are known for the problems in the past. Eminem who has struggled with drug addiction in the past revealed a part of his domestic life with Kim in the video with Rihanna called "Love The Way You Lie." Wayne who is presently serving time in prison for illegal weapons possession has also had his share of legal drama in the past that has had an impact on his career. Take a look at how the Slim Shady and the incarcerated rapper's young fan defends himself from the bullies at school.

Hot on the heels of Eminem's eight VMA nominations, the highly anticipated video for his latest chart-topper, "Love the Way You Lie," premiered Thursday on MTV at 9 p.m. The Joseph Kahn-directed video was based on Eminem's troubled relationship with his ex-wife, Kim and features Rihanna, who sings the hook, along with actors Megan Fox and Dominic Monaghan, portrays the downward spiral of an abusive couple as they appear to be just as much lovers as they are fighters.
To call Eminem hip-hop's Elvis is correct to a degree, but it's largely inaccurate. Certainly, Eminem was the first white rapper since the Beastie Boys to garner both sales and critical respect, but his impact exceeded this confining distinction. "Love the Way You Lie" the second single off rapper's seventh studio album, "Recovery." "It's the story of them getting to know each other, and it's the story of their tumultuous relationship, and it was the story of the breakdown of their relationship," the 33-year-old actor elaborated further. "Ultimately, what I think he's trying to say in the song is that he should have walked away a little bit quicker than he did and not let it get as messy as it did."
The rapper commented, "[The song] I did with Rihanna is one of those tracks that I felt like only she could pull it off, only she could do it. It was great to have Rihanna, Megan and Dominic on board for this. They really brought it and made this video super-powerful." The songstress also talked about this collaboration with Eminem: "It's something that, you know, [Eminem and I have] both experienced, you know, on different sides, different ends of the table. It was believable for us to do a record like that, but it was also something that needed to be done and the way he did it was so clever."
The most important thing the video is doing is raising the topic of dating violence among young people. The video shows off love and violence intertwine seamlessly, is especially potent because of Eminem's and Rihanna's personal histories with violence or abuse. During the four-minute span of "Love the Way You Lie," Rihanna alternately sneers in the frame and seems to physically diminish before finally crumbling to the ground in front of the burning house that serves as her backdrop throughout, and Eminem sings his verses in a desolate cornfield. Through the video Fox as an abused and abusive girlfriend to Monaghan. They fight, hit, break things and steal. At the end of the video, both Fox and Monaghan's characters are engulfed by the flames.

The highly anticipated music video for Eminem's smash single "Not Afraid", directed by Rich Lee, premiered exclusively on VEVO Saturday, and premiering throughout the day on MTV and VH1 on Monday, with a special prime-time encore on MTV. Grammy-winning rapper has kept his word on debuting the "Not Afraid" music video by unleashing an artistically drawn visual of his newest single, which is the lead single off of his seventh studio album, "Recovery" that record is ready to drop onto store shelves on June 22. His lyrics offer inspiration within all that anger, and this song is no different.
Unlike the lead singles from Eminem's previous albums, "Not Afraid" is not a comedy hip hop song, instead retaining a much more deep and profound theme. It debuted five weeks ago and entered the Billboard Hot 100 chart at No.1; making it the sixteenth song in Billboard's history to debut at number one and only the second rap single ever to debut at the top spot - a feat that hasn't been achieved by a rapper in almost 15 years. In the song, described as "uplifting" by manager Paul Rosenberg, Eminem tells of how he has tried to overcome the troubles in his life from the past few years, mainly his drug addiction and rehabilitation. He promises he will never leave again and now only has his daughters and his music to focus on.
This song received very positive reviews with special attention to the emotional expression, Eminem's rhyming skills and his reaching out to other producers. Rolling Stone praised Eminem's commitment on his new music and lyrical ability noting "Over a dark, operatic beat, Eminem delivers rhymes that are typically acrobatic and typically heavy-handed. But the anger has a gathering quality."
The new video was shot in Newark, New Jersey on the streets in downtown, and finds himself in various compromising positions which includes a suicide jump and flying abilities. The Slim Shady is seen standing on the rooftop of a skyscraper, looking down the street. In one point, he is seen throwing himself from the edge of a destroyed road. Eminem talked about the video and its concept to Skyrock FM in Paris: "The overall concept is basically just being in a dark place and trying to get to the light." The music swells. Eminem will save us all from ourselves with his motivational rhymes!

It seems like the entire world has been waiting for rapper megastars, Lil Wayne and Eminem, to team up for an epic hot verse-spitting track. It's finally here! The dream collaboration of Rap moguls has been expressed in video form, for their single "Drop The World," which was supposed to be premiered March 11 on MTV has been debuted days earlier than the schedule. The single is the third official single off Wayne's seventh and also first rock-inspired studio album "Rebirth," and it's rock feel is depicted accurately in this earth shattering video.
Wayne and Eminem both were featured together on Drake's hit "Forever" with Drake and Kanye West, so it was only a matter of time before the two would pair up again. The song is an angry message toward critics and haters of the duo's careers, while the Chris Robinson-directed video sees how Weezy and the Slim Shady appear on the street and spit their verses and among a gang of people around them running wild from every direction. Broken glasses shatter on the ground and fire set ablaze, giving a chaotic scene. It shows a warzone-like atmosphere, as if the world was coming to an end. The clip is filled with a ton of digital destruction and mayhem, similar to an average action movie and just without the traditional jailbreak scene.
The video was filmed on the eve of the Grammys, Robinson described the shoot for the video as "Just energy. It was a one-day shoot, and Wayne was on the set for upward of 14 hours." "You got two guys who are basically huge supernovas coming together, and the way that the song is constructed is great," Chris Robinson tells MTV News. "Because unless you see it coming, you don't know Eminem is on the track. The first two hooks and the first two verses are all Wayne, and it's kind of a surprise when Eminem comes through, and we matched it visually how Eminem enters the piece."
