Not Afraid Video
The last bastion of the music I liked when I was fifteen is still alive. Eminem is probably the last artist from my adolescence that I can still listen to – and for that matter the only one that I still am passionately interested in. Eminem isn’t what he used to be but there’s little debate as to who the kings of rap are these days: Eminem and Jay-Z. That’s it. Lil Wayne is trying to get to the same stature as those two but still has a ways to go.
In the meantime, here is the new Eminem video for the song “Not Afraid” from his upcoming album “Recovery.” It’s a little strange, has a slightly dated Matrix vibe, and Eminem looks like he may have had plastic surgery (his face looks waaay smooth), but it’s still worth a look. I’m EAGERLY anticipating the album, check back for a review once it leaks.
