I LOVE a good music video and the new Eminem video certainly delivers.  "Love The Way You Lie" is the second official single off of Eminem's seventh studio album Recovery.  Admitedly, I haven't purchased an Eminem album since 2002's The Eminem Show but the material on Recovery MIGHT just rope me back in.

While SOME critics and die-hard fans might call Eminem a sellout for going in a slightly more pop direction with collaborations with Rihanna and P!nk, you can't deny his talent as a rapper and as a songwriter.  Produced by Alex da Kid, "Love The Way You Lie" packs a POWERFUL punch, and did so on the charts as well, earning Eminem his fourth #1 single on the Billboard Hot 100.  The Joseph Kahn-directed video features the tumultous and violent relationship of two characters, portrayed by Lost's Dominic Monaghan and Transformers' babe Megan Fox.  Rihanna makes an impactful appearance as well. Powerful song. Powerful video.
