Video: Eminem ft Rihanna - The Monster
Better late than never, eh?
Relased this morning, six weeks after it went to number one, here is the video for Eminem's The Monster. Like a lot of the material Marhsall Mathers LP 2, it takes a trip down memory lane, recreating scenes from 8 Mile, The Way I Am, and Eminem's Grammy performance with Elton John. (Rihanna is there, too, wearing an unusually demure wardrobe.)
In the end, Eminem comes face-to-face with his former, drug-addled self, locked in a cage and surrounded by security guards, and chooses to turn his back and walk away (SPOILERS!). As metaphors go, it's not exactly subtle.
