Eminem- Headlights Video (Directed by Spike Lee)
- Thread starter Hammer
- Start date
Dope video, and kinda points out the obvious as to why the album isn't really a sequel in the sense of a remake, he's offering a different perspective on everything he was thinking about THEN as opposed to now. Dope how the videos from her POV.
As for the actual song I like it but there has to be some kind of middle ground between screaming and being somber...I don't think it would have been good had he actually sounded sad either, but he went completely in the other direction lol. Endearing joint, but not something i'll listen to that often.

I thought MMLP2 was trash but when I heard this song it really hit me. I was a kid Em came out and while today I think a lot of his stuff is corny, I can't deny that I enjoyed his personal lyrics. Seeing him grow up and reconcile with his mother, at least mentally...dunno, it felt good hearing the song for the first time.
Even on his first albums you could tell he just wanted his mom to apologize to him, so he could apologize to her.

Real name no gimmicks..
The song still has me like 
...but this video 
He really hired Spike Lee to film a made for TV movie?
If you listened to the song itself it sounds like he was on a plane cuz you heard a flight attendant saying to buckle their seat belts. When I listened to the song I envisioned that Em was writing the letter while he was on a crashing plane.
If I was doing the video I would have had Em on the plane while its crashing but everything is in slow motion and Em is the only person moving in normal speed and he is just writing the letter. With images of everything Em is saying flashing on the screen (him being a child, arguing with his mom, the videos, etc). Then when the last few lines came in Em puts the letter in a envelope and throws it out the window. And then Em just closes his eyes and time goes back to normal and the plane just crashes (sorta like Brain McKnight's Back To One video).
And then when the hook is playing you just see the letter floating in the air and the letter just land's on Em's mom's front poach. She then comes out the house with the tv in the background with the news on about the plane crashing and who was on board. The last shot is of her picking up the letter and as she is reading it she starts with Em's spirit in the background watching her.
I mean this would have been a slam dunk concept..but Em wanted to be cheap..

some of yall can't be satisfied at all! this is a dope video to a dope a*s song!! that is all!
Good song, wack video
Not That Any Of Us Can Say What The Hell Happened In His Childhood Cuz We Only Get HIS Side Of The Story But When I Seen That Documentary About Em From His Family I Could Tell His Mom Loved Him So I Dunno How He Grew Such A Hate For Her, But Like I Said I Wasnt There, Nice To See Him Tryna Repair The Relationship Though
Plenty of neglectful, abusive and/or mentally ill parents love their children. Which goes for himself as much as it does her. Realizing how much he took after her with how he was fukking up with his own kids allowed him to empathize.
Listening to rhyme or reason you can hear his anger shift to his absentee father where as before she was the only one around to blame for his upbringing.
I don't like the song because it's too bland, but I can't help but acknowledge and tip my hat off to this guy because he has millions of people who have cared so much about his personal life for almost 15 years.
Incredible. I mean, I could tell this guys life story from start to present.
