I'm not saying that the information on this site is necessarily incorrect, I just don't understand who the source is and so I don't see why I should believe it.

The source is Universal Music Russia. This is correct info, 100%. Just wait those 5 days or something and you'll see.

Thank you for the info. If it turns out to be true I'll have more faith in the future.

K, so now I know for sure to ignore your site. The post below is dated April 14th and says to expect the video between April 15-21st, then later states "a week to ten days". It's April 24th (10 days) and there's no word from Shady. I'd suggest you stop trying to look official and while you're at it, stop making shit up.

I think its more than obvious it will drop on Mother's day. I mean its only a couple weeks away and makes sense from a marketing stand point.

i hope not. would be cornball as fuck tbh

I agree... Eminem's song coming out on Mother's day as an apology? Ummm, no

[Notalius]

Ya'll probably like some shit that is even cornier than that. So don't talk about corniness, please.

I forgot this existed.

I third that, I think it would be not just corny, but classless as fuck. I wouldn't be surprised if it does drop in the week before Mothers Day, though.

I agree it would be corny.

But how would it be classless? I presume you mean because it would be exploitative or something?...

Well: all marketing is exploitative and it's not like the song is disingenuous; he made that song organically and that's just what it is. So if you could have it drop on Mother's Day to make it a quirkier success... why wouldn't you. Also it wouldn't be classless if we presume Em means every word of the song, because it's the truth and he means it - so how it would be like giving that as a Mother's Day present, in front of the world.

To me, releasing the video on Mother's Day or the week before, makes perfectly sense.

But you know, people on TR don't like their mother. So they will ofc think that it's corny.

Not to mention that they still think Eminem is the guy from 2000 and that shit like that makes him corny. They still wanna identify themselves with the old crazy slim

I've said this somewhere before, but I do believe that this song is disingenuous to a point, but only because so many have interpreted it as a heartfelt apology to his mom. He's never spoken on it, so the meaning is left to the listener to interpret.

My interpretation of it, and I stress that this is my interpretation, so don't shit all over me if you disagree, is that it's not the apology some people believe it is. If it was, he wouldn't say he'll love her from afar, he'd make an effort to actually forgive and reconcile and try to have some kind of relationship going forward. Phrases like "you did the best you could" and "I'll always love you because you're my ma" are the very definition of damning with faint praise. He re-hashes bad times from his past with her just in case we've forgotten what a horrible mom she was.

I believe his regret is that he never did have and never could have a good relationship with his mom because of the way she is. So he's sorry for what he and his kids have missed out on, not for the songs he's written or the things he's said in the past. I think he believes she deserved them, although in hindsight he regrets how public it got. So this song represents his more mature self regretting the way things have always been with his mom, and accepting that it will never change.

That's not what I would describe as a heartfelt tribute to a mother, so to me, given my interpretation of the song,
releasing it on or near Mother's Day would be classless, since it merely reinforces what a failure she was as a mother.

Just so the uber fans don't get me wrong, I'm not making any judgements here. I think he has every right to his feelings and to live his life with or without his mom as he sees fit. But I liked that he never spoke about it in interviews and left it to the listeners imagination what the true meaning is. So I'm disappointed they did a video at all, regardless of how it turns out.

I was asked to prove my point.

Ignore away. I wasn't talking to you.
