Guess who's back...back again. Eminem is back with a vengeance. This single featuring Rihanna is all over the radio right now and flying through the charts. Despite what you know about me, I actually really like Eminem, so I got the record as soon as it came out, and this was one of my favorite tracks. The song itself has received quite a bit of controversy due to it's lyrics and message about domestic violence, but the fact of the matter is that both Rihanna and Eminem have had some very personal experience with domestic violence (from both sides) and this song is not condoning it, just explaining the emotions.
The video was just released and has Megan Fox and Dominic Monaghan both looking super hot in white trash sheik. The video is actually done really well to incite the emotions that the song represents. I would highly recommend the entire album to anyone, and the video is perfect for the song. The only thing keeping it from 5 stars is that it's overplayed. Enjoy.
