Eminem And Rihanna To Shoot Video For “Love The Way You Lie”

[RapName]

Love The Way You Lie is the best song on the album.

Are you serious? It is a good song, but not even in the top 10 off Recovery for me.

Don't expect too much from this video, unless Kahn pulls a rabitt out of the hat.

I'm serious. On Fire and Almost Famous come close for their sick rhyming and delivery... but it's a lot harder to write about one topic than a whole bunch of 'em.

Cool enough. Almost Famous and On Fire are among my favorites too, but LTWYL has a lot less replay-value then most of Recovery. I'm happy it's on Recovery though, cause it made a lot of people discover/re-descover Eminem and once again ackknowledge Em is a beast.

It's the type of song Em can write in his sleep

I disagree on that count. The multies and internal rhyming are immense, particularly in the first verse.

I agree with the one who said LTWYL is the best song on the album. It's very good, and I play it a lot. But it still says something about Recovery - it's consistent, but with no really high peaks. Of his other albums, you can only say the same thing about Encore

[Berry]

Conceptuality & Lyrically, it's one of the strongest on the album. Along with 25 to life, space bound, talkin 2 myself.

[EminemBase]

Not even close to the best for me.

The third & first verse of Love The Way You Lie... only a fully focused, good writer can pen those lyrics.

Yes I know, I'm not saying the verses aren't good or great even my point is, when Em is on-point those types of verses don't seem to be hard for him. It's kind of... Run of the mill Eminem to me.

As I say, the song may be good but I really don't think it's anything spectacularly 'new' for him at this point and I just don't consider it close to the best off the album. Also, again, regardless of its quality I just can't see how it's going to make much of a compelling video.

I could be wrong but it just feels like a waste compared to what he could do with the other songs.

+ the theme makes it dopper.

this song doesn't even need a video
but seeing rihanna wear little to nothing (hopefully) is always a plus

Yes but as Em recently stated, rhyming comes very naturally / easy to him now.

So quite obviously what distinguishes a great Eminem song now is it's content and delivery. In terms of the content, almost every other song on the album is more original or interesting. In terms of delivery... It's nice but again, so many better on the album.

Yes the multies are great but Em's multies are usually always great when he's on-point. What I'm saying is, that 'type' of song is the type of... Hate / Love situation song we've come to expect on the topic. The only thing which makes it stand apart is the fact he used Rhianna like that, given the subject matter.

But in terms of the lyricism, content and execution, it's nowhere near some of the best on Recovery. "Almost Famous" and "Space Bound" to name but two which are so much better I think. Finally though, why are we debating the lyricism in it? Lmao, I already stated numerous times I'm not now disputing the quality of the song, I'm saying I just don't see how it'll make a great video.

Do you seriously think they could make a better video out of that song than they could of... Almost any of the other ones. Picture a video for "Space Bound". It could be so expansive and artistic. In comparison to the Rhianna track which is relatively dull visually. It's realistic and set in stone, it's really not the type of song that needs a video. Which is what they should be picking them on.

Some songs are capable of having 'artistic' videos but are simply not Single-material e.g. Almost Famous.
And do you really want him to release a single with no video, esp. for such a succesful single, simply because you think the video may not be 'artistic'? are you serious>??

[MikeNUFC]

Yes but the rhyming on the track is still better than most of Recovery, regardless of whether his rhymes are coming naturally or not.

I think LTYWYL could have an artistsic svideo. Easily. Just cus the story is told within the track doesnt mean it cant be artistic. Guilty Conscience is self explanatory but the video is awesome.

I would love to see a video to Almost Famous though.

[Pllumi]

finally, lol ,I guess the video isn't that much needed anymore, Love The Way You Lie is rasing it's popularity like crazy

[Alaine]

I want to see the video. Who cares about "artistic" when we have Eminem & Rihanna? it's already entertaining enough to watch 2 of them in the same video. I'm hoping for a straight to your face video with some realistic actions in it. Hmm and less clothes on both of them wouldn't be too bad.
