Eminem Releases Guts Over Fear Video

(Radio.com) Eminem will always have a soft spot in his heart for the little guy. His latest video for his 2014 single with Sia, "Guts Over Fear," depicts a day in the life of a maudlin late-career Eminem protagonist-working class, struggling with anger issues, trying to do right.

Our hero is a waiter by day and a local boxer by night. We see him filing for welfare and arguing with his pregnant girlfriend and fighting with his landlord. He has a drinking problem, and his life seems caught in an endless loop of struggle.

He hits rock bottom when an accident at work costs him his job. He ends up back in the ring, taking out his frustration on his opponents. Typical of the emotional milieu of Eminem's particular brand of blue-collar sentimentality, he successfully channels his anger into success in the ring-the video ends with him on TV, heading into a new boxing match. Essentially, it's 8 Mile. Watch the video here.
