If that was my video, I'd have me flying all over that bitch. :whistle:

Normally, I'd agree, but this video did get me even more hyped for Recovery.

The part where Eminem is flying, while kinda corning, it really made me feel that he is so fucking confident about this record and that's why he says "I'm raising the bar" and flies to the top of the building. Just epic.

Agreed 100%. This is like Hancock though?

No one mentioned that. He's dressed like Hancock and flies like him too. So It's SlimCock :laughing:

The flying part is a metaphor of how he feels at the top of his game. I think it fits the video perfectly.

Wow, even after Eminem's reps announced to look out for the metaphors, some people here still can't recognize the metaphoric meaning of the flying scene.
