Eminem's "We Made You" full of surprises!

Five albums in, and this guy is still following the same strategy. Start with the silly single, then follow it up with the serious shit.

Don't believe me?

The Slim Shady LP:
1) "My Name Is"
2) "Guilty Conscience"

The Marshall Mathers LP:
1) "The Real Slim Shady"
2) "The Way I Am"

The Enimem Show:
1) "Superman" (a bit less silly, and also less successful on Billboard)
2) "Sing for the Moment"

Encore
1) "Just Lose It"
2) "Encore"

And now this. After a decade, it's good to see that he's still keeping it fresh. This video is conceptually identical to "My Name Is," "The Real Slim Shady," and "Just Lose It," except the barbs are slightly more dated. I guess the label thought he needed his fourth re-introduction. Can't wait for the next one, I wonder if he will mention his love for Hailie, or maybe his distaste for Mom and Kim? Place your bets.
