What do you all think about Em's new vid?

I think it is excellent done. Although i am little confused about him
filling a grave up with soil?!? I have been thinking about this is what i
think it is refering to...

His mum has died and he is filling her grave

or

He dug is own grave but decided not to kill himself

Either one kind of works as he could be in the church because he wasn't to
be forgiven for all his sins before dieing or he is praying to his mother.

Any thoughts?

Another possibility may be that he's burying contact with his mother.
"Guess what, I am dead, dead to you as can be."

Course it could be literal from the reference to his cousin Ronnie's death.

It could be a lot of things. As with most art, then end meaning is up to
you.

him digging a grave means the same thing as does CLEANING OUT HIS
CLOSET...He is burying the feud with his mother and when you clean out
your closet,you are cleaning out all the negative shit in your life.And
the whole situation with his mom is done and hes not going to rap about
it anymore.And to be honest,im glad.Like he says,‘im sorry momma,i
never meant to hurt you,i never meant to make you cry,but tonight,im
cleaning out my closet.He never meant to hurt her with his words,but hes
saying hes sorry and that hes Done with the whole situation once and for
all.Him digging a grave is him burying his past,burying this feud and
just saying goodbye to the negativity.Videos are made to sometimes make
you thing.filling a grave up metaphoriclly means that he is burying his
past.it doesnt mean There is an actually body in there..Listen to the
words,then watch the video..its the visual representation of the words..

Or, if you're Brittney Spears, the music is something to listen to while you
watch the video. Many people just hit mute and masterbate.

I thought he was burrying his mother after murdering her....then thats why
hes in the church to repent the sin..... I suppose the great thing about
music is that different people can have a different take on what it means.

yeah, that is what i like about Eminem, you interpret his music the way you
want to, noone can say it is wrong, it kind of makes the music personal to
you.

Don't waste your time with Eminem's farts. He used to be quite original
but ever since he trashed Moby, he showed the world that he can't be
original anymore, he's just like Tom Green... Used to be interesting,
but now he's just plain annoying to the point of total ignorance. Who
cares about the references in his songs, he can't write songs anymore.
Has he ever?

Eminem is now officially a looser's looser. He had his 15 minutes of
fame, now its time to move on and spend your minimum wage salary on
someone else's album. Or just buy a Moby album, just to piss him off.

Eminem is one of those goof that when you find one of his album 10 years
from now, you'll start laughing and say to yourself, "What was I
thinking..", and throw it away.

Eminem is a hack and a slash, a non-original-spaz who can't tie his own
shoes, yet alone come up with original idea.

Eminem sucks.

peace.

after watching the video a few (hundred) times since my original post i
think i have to agree with you more than anyone else. If you watch the video
he is shouting down to the grace when he goes "Guess what, I am dead, dead
to you as can be.", it likes like either is mum is in the grace or that he
wishes she was. He is obviously finishing it (the burial being the last time
you ever see someone or have any contact etc.)

Well, I already thought about it, too. I think he dug his own grave
coz he want his mother to forget him. Let's see: "Remember when Ronnie
died and you said you wished it was me? Well guess what, I +AM+ dead -
dead to you as can be!"

Bout tha church: it's simply, ya know, it's in tha beginning of tha
video, I think he wanna show us that he is perfectly honest.

You are all so wrong.
He's burying his short career has an original artist.
Cleaning out the clauset means that he's a fag.

Eminem sucks. He does! Really!!

Long live Moby!

No if he was cleaning himself out of the closet that would mean he was a
fag. If he's cleaning the closet, he's obviously preparing for a long stay.

maybe he's symbolically digging for them rare ground-dwelling
flatu-gnats to mix with his dinner because nothing gives him a woody
like near beer and farting beefaroni.

I took digging the grave as a metaphor for "burying the past," letting go of
the painful things that have hurt him, and moving on.

the grave in cleaning out my closet most likely means that he's taking
all the bad shit in his life and burying it, never to see again- his
wife, his mom, his dad, etc., etc.
