Eminem wants to be the bearer of your new anthem.
The Lana Del Rey-bashing rapper spins a tale of triumph over adversity in the music video for “Guts Over Fear,” a track off his “Shady XV” compilation album that bears more than a passing resemblance to the Grammy-winning 2002 smash “Lose Yourself.” Featuring a typically gorgeous vocal contribution from Sia – whose stand-in here is a stunning woman with vitiligo – the visuals focus on a man who goes from put-upon dishwasher to big-time boxing contender in the span of about four minutes (that's six months in music-video time).
As rags-to-riches stories go, it's nothing you haven't seen before; in fact, I find the whole analogy downright tiresome. For an artist once vaunted for his edgy style, he's gotten pretty conventional over the years.
