Eminem - "Love The Way You Lie" Video

We don't do too much rap or hip hop on this little corner of the web; however, this zesty bit from the preeminent white-boy rapper, Eminem, is interesting from multiple angles -- musically, visually, lyrically firey (but not personally, for me at least). Production intensity and (presumably) casting costs are WAY up on this Joseph Kahn directed video, featuring actor Dominic Monaghan and the ever-lusty Megan Fox as violent, tumultuous sex partners, and the oft-abused Rihanna on chorus vocals. I have listened to some, not all, of the Recovery album and am genuinely impressed with the content. It's not one of those albums you put on before bed or on a lazy Sunday afternoon, unless you like dreaming of fire and domestic violence, but it could cater well to the "get psyched" before hitting the gym crowd. If you're historically not a fan, have a listen, appreciate the lyrical flow and the heavy beat drop, and hear the voice in your head say "that's so real, yo."
