Eminem – Not Afraid (Video)

Well that didn’t take long. Earlier today we were hit with a 21 second preview. Hours later we’re hit with the official video to Eminem’s Recovery single. I also included live recordings of Em’s performance on BBC Radio 1′s Live Lounge as a bonus below.

  18. Not sure how I feel exactly about Em suddenly learning how to fly… but I guess the effort was there.

  37. This video is fucking amazing! Eminem killing the game right now.

    Y’all better BELIEVE the hype is real faggets.

  38. The music video is pretty fuckin DOPE!!! the story and metaphors in it are Amazing!! i like the whole concept..

  39. wtf? cant get wit dis. tryna sing n shit. w.e. dudes one of the greatest so i guess this is a hit?

  40. Video is fuckin great man. Only complaint is audio is synced rite wit da video, but it’s still a great vid. Em doin’ his thing

  41. I watched this video, then I remembered this is why I say Asher Roth is garbage lol

  42. Dayum he’s soooo hot!! Love this track But the Won’t Back Down track w/ pink that leaked is BEASTLY, like Despicable on Steroids, with a 3/4 waltz beat!! Brilliant! Em is THE shit!

  43. lol i had a feeling he was gonna fly on this

  44. FUCKING DOPE!

  45. I loved the superhero parallel! Totally Em!! I’m glad he’s always true to himself and doesn’t shy away from exposing he is.

  46. This is DOPE! even the flying was nice in my opinion anyway.

  47. @dopeSir there’s def NO singing on the track that leaked yesterday. The jam is about wordplay, and he spits an abundance of verbal gymnastics like we’ve never seen from him before, from start to finish! Only pink is singing the hook. It’s insane how he comes with that shyt!

  48. Neo in Nike yep!

    great video

  49. hey guys, why do people have 91 in email addresses, what does it mean ?

  50. when did B Rabbit turn into Nathan Petrelli??

  51. lol its only corny if u thinkin “oh shit Em flyin now”.. its a damn metaphor fools

  52. “when did B Rabbit turn into Nathan Petrelli??”

    Please don’t make that reference, it only reminds of something that once was great and went and imploded, and became something I no longer cared for.

    With that said, I like the blond haired looked more. He just seems so normal with dark (normal) hair.

    And I believe it was Peter who fell off the building. But it was so long ago, I’m not really sure.

  53. did dis nigga juss fly?

  54. yup dat nigga just flew

  55. on some superman shit?

  56. ye Luis, on some fuck gravity, i’m on some other shit shit

  57. y’all dumb as hell, the flyin was a metaphor for katrina

  58. word

  59. Aite now I feel dumb..metaphor for Katrina?How so?

  60. The Video outshines the actual song which is mediocre, also the flying thing is unnecesary.

  61. Is it jus me or people listened to so MUCH jcole drake and young money that they forgot what REAL MUSIC is supposed to sound like ????

  62. That is what I call a Music Video!!! Great Work!!

  63. LMAO @ this dude ^^^^^ categorizing J. Cole with Drake and Young Money.

  64. this video is dope…really like it

  65. damn em looks sexy in this vid

  66. Dope video … like that shit

    PS: DallasTx_groveside sftu fool!!!

  67. Heroes > Whatever This Crap Is Supposed to Be.

    this wigger even bit the idea off the episode where peter and sylar break the wall in that empty world.

  68. supernem

  69. who the hell is going to remember j cole rick ross drake and young money in a few yrs, eminem is TIMELESS ur kids kids kids grandkids are gona be listening to his discography. … maybe thats why this artist attracts so much haters ^^^

  70. this video was a spin off of Heores tv show!
    so…he’s actually more like Peter not Neo!
    great concept boy they made it happen!

  71. Dope!!!

  72. the flyin isnt a metaphor 4 katrina lol.. Its about Em bein at the top of hiphop/life again hence landin on the top of the buildin

  73. ^same place where he thought of jumpin in thd beginning of the video

  74. Interesting, Eminem finally has a decent wardrobe, except for the sneakers….but about the video, the production of it is crazy, everything is done nicely, but the flying part was just horrible, i mean c’mon couldn’t the storyboard boys figure out something less cheesy at that part, plus they would have saved some money in the special effects.

  75. Looks a bit lika a brighter & much more uplifting Version of “The Way I am” – From falling down to rising up again…nice one!

  76. Roll on June 22nd.

    http://clintbeefman.wordpress.com/

  77. Fork was in the road, I took the psychopath

    Recovery is sounded nice so far

  78. “When did Eminem become Neo ?”
    My guess it’s about him realizing what his place is in the game and started believing in him self, comparing that to when Neo realized his place that’s when he “learned to fly”.

  79. Why you all acting so surprised? Eminem’s superman, didn’t you know?

  80. dope.just dope.

  81. lol. how is the flying part NOT dope? and for anyone that says he’s “biting” Heroes or whatever…have you ever considered that he might watch the show and he did that on purpose? have you ever seen a rap music video? most good videos are based on movies/shows

    ehhh song (great message, great chorus, sub-par [for 2010 eminem] verses, TERRIBLE beat), GREAT video

    Super-Em FTW

  82. dope, if they put wings on eminem it would have looked better

  83. new eminem remix

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPH8HH6zljU

  84. Very dope video.

  85. good video
    shake PLEASE help me! wich was the video of a Canadian singer feauting drake ¿¿¿ u say ,is one of your (this guy mixtape) favorites mixtapes ,PLease,i forget the name

  86. The metaphor concept of falling off the edge then coming back is (2)dope.

  87. Great video until he started flying. thought that was kinda cheesy. Whatever. still love this song. June 22nd will be a great day.

  88. this is horrible. so cheesy. such a rip off of the matrix. it’s not even a metaphor. it’s ass.

  89. Janelle Monae – “Tightrope (Wondamix)” ft. Lupe Fiasco & B.o.B
    post iit shake!

  90. ya boy diggy came out with his first single for his mixtape called: Great Expectations http://www.mediafire.com/?zmlw2tg3ynm

  91. Can you motherfuckkers stop comparing this to Heroes? Garbage show with even worse writing…

    In other news, thought the video conveyed the song effectively.

  92. agreed Jenson, the video was very “The Way I am” like

  93. Emcock

  94. EM IS NOT THE SAME EM ANYMORE HE FELL OFF BIG TIME BUT I LIKE THE VIDEO

  95. Wack vid. Wack song. Em, quit while we still respect u. Most people lose respect 4 quitting but n ur case…… Just stop. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK UUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!

  96. SUPEREM WILL SAVE HIP-HOP :)

  97. save what¿ lol

  98. fuck a superman, thats some goku dragon ball z shit right there haha

  99. if i was goku or superman……i’d back the fuck up

    video was off the chain…..my fav one

  100. hes back where he started….which was ontop

  101. i was waiting for him to start screamin,
    and turn supersaiyan, and then get his blonde hair back.
    coz that’s when he’s on beast mode lol

  102. this was fucking aweome

  103. that shit was a fuckin MOVIEEEEE! ( in DJ Khaled voice)

  104. ^^ LMAO

  105. Honestly, with the industry strictly treating us like matadors (feeding us bullshit) I can’t quite put my finger on the meaning. I just loved the suspense (I thought he was gonna jump in the beginning) and the unpredictability of the vid. Nobody SAW that coming! Not even James Wan. But I still noticed references to 2012, apparently he’s still possessed (maybe he actually meant “ExErcise these demons”). Indeed he’s on top, it’s HIS spot, he doesn’t want us there, notice that when he says “I’ll get you there” he points to where his been (trials and turmoils). He must be amazing indeed to be king, and and at the same time be the subject (of our “conversations”).

  106. What the Fuck is wrong with u fagot ass haters
    talking all this shit about ” oh let me guess 1000000 comments from stans” go kill urself if u have nothing good to say honestly
    its pretty sad now

    if you got nothing good to say, just dont comment honestly
    You dont like it? then DONT LISTEN and let Eminem do his thing

    aside from that this video is fuckin dope i loved it, Superman is in the building i just wish he had better features on his album like some Nas, or Jay none of that wayne stuff but oh well

  107. i heard royce 5’9 was gonna make a cameo in this vid., did i miss it?

  108. Hancock Mathers.

  109. Dope video!!!! think the songs a lil corny but video is crazy! big budget shit!

  110. Actually I just rewatched it and I realized: It’s actually a very clever concept that deals with everyday life. Look around you! You see the world that you living in? Its not the world that you living in! I know… Before, he was just “living” his life, but more like a drone not knowing where or how or why (cf: Hailie’s song) That’s why he crosses the streets blindly, because he’s not aware of what’s going on around him, he’s “like a boy in a bubble” (cf: Say goodbye to hollywood). But as soon as breaks free, from the *gulp* matrix, he realeyes what the world really is (Dead) for the first time. He faces the consequences of OUR mistakes as human beings and… embraces it. He faces death/destruction (kinda like Yeshua) because he knows that it’s only through mistakes that we grow. He… resurrects! (kinda like Yeshua) He even ascends into the heavens (kinda like Yeshua) back to where he came from in the first place. To put it simply, the message he’s tryna convey is that: “we deserve to have the world dropped on our heads because it seems that it’s the only way we’ll ever wake up and realeyes what’s essential and what mathers” Like him, afterwards we’ll know redemption and get our wings back. *Record scratches* Talk about mindfuck! No! We don’t need to kill half the planet to wake up! We don’t need a savior, a messiah to hold our hands! Regardless of his background wether he from Jerusalem or good old Michigan! On the contrary WE NEED TO TAKE RESPONSABILITY! We need to be saviors and messiahs, we need to STOP BEING SHEEP and TO START BEING SHEPHERDS. And when there won’t be a single sheep left, then I guess there won’t be any wolves left either… That’s how you get rid of evil… Get rid of ignorance. To conclude half the message is good, the other half… *scoff* Call it cognitive dissonance.

  111. BRUTAL BUT HONEST AND IT’S MY PERSONAL POINT OF VIEW (HATE OR LOVE I DON’T CARE REALLY),

    THIS SONG IS AVERAGE AND THE VIDEO TOO. I DON’T REALLY UNDERSTAND THE CHOICE OF THIS BEAT. NOTHING SPECIAL ON THIS BEAT (808 AGAIN AND AGAIN) SOUND LIKE A AMATEUR PRODUCER.

    DAAAAM HE GOT MR PORTER, KHALIL, DR DRE AND HIM. WHY HE CHOOSE THIS AVERAGE BEAT.

    THE SONG WITH PINK IS NOT REALLY GOOD TOO I DON’T BEAT OF KHALIL. I LOVE EM BUT WHEN IT’S NOT GOOD IT’S NOT GOOD !
    EM IS NOT INSPIRED ON THIS 2 TRACK.

  112. AND THE SINGLE OF BIG BOI IS 100 TIMES BETTER (FLOW BEAT AND ORIGINALITY)

    YOU CAN HATE ME NOW OR LATER BUT IT’S TRUE

  113. JonnieHayward’s rap alias MC YMC aka MC YoungMuchacho aka MC Youngboy aka MC YB aka your Favorite MC and his dj DJ Dub C will be performing at the Funk Flex Car Show Tour tomorrow in Ocean City, MD so come out and show some love!

  114. hahaha @I am not you…I was just about to say that, em turned into goku there! haha

  115. lol nigga it aint a car show, it’s a car wash!

  116. 1st!!!

  117. that was fucking incredible

  118. u people over analyze shit, its just a fukkin video, no doubt it is a dope ass song that finally shut u haters the fugg up, who thought the boy em wa done. and to “wowsimplywow” j.cole is the truth he spits wat the real world is if u cant see it u must think charles hamilton is the messiah or u mus be one of them 8 ball slangers who gotta hear bang bang die negga die shit in every track u bump

  119. cool vid no doubt… i still gotta beef with the beat as some of you do too… its the drums the most… a travis barker remix wouldnt hurt

  120. I was molested to this song yersterday by my daddy. I hate to think what he wil do to me when he finds out video came out.

  121. Tell your daddy your not afraid lol

    nice viddy

  122. Who love this beat (and the hook) ? If yes why ? I want a real opinion not a Die hard fan point of view.

    When i Heard DOA from Jay z, “grow up” or “hallelujah” from bishop or “slangin rocks” from the game All this track as dope beats to me it’s impossible if you know the level of eminem to say shit is dope my word.

    I got all albums of em (not download) and i got the right to say is mediocre (vidéo not original too pop)

    big up to em, i love this Guy but i can’t say it’s good because it’s em.

  123. I have been an advent listener of Em since he first came out, with the “Slim Shady LP”. I feel throughout Em’s career he has let everybody into his life and inner demons; for his courage to do so I amend him. As a fan of his music, I feel that I know him on a more personal sense after experiencing the sound he reveals throughout all his music…

  124. oh shit! em can fly too

  125. Old Eminem is back. Track is dope !

  126. ANYBODY HAVE THE DOWNLOAD LINK FOR RECOVERY?????

  127. does anybody know what kind of nike’s he got on in the video
