Video After The Jump
50 Cent released his new single "My Life" from his upcoming Street King Immortal album on Monday November 26th, and already the positive feedback is overwhelming. The song features frequent collaborator Eminem and Adam Levine of Maroon 5.
50 and Adam gave a standout performance of the S1-produced song on NBC's The Voice last night. The music video for it premiered today on MTV.
Fif and Slim sat down with MTV to break down the meaning of the video and song.
"The [Street King Immortal} album is more personal than albums in the past," 50 said. "When I wrote Hate It Or Love It, I was talking about when I was growing up {I saw] my mom kissing a woman. So I put it on Game's record because I wasn't sure the public was ready to hear that from me. Because we only offered a certain style of content to them. That was me putting my toes in the tub to comfortably make that transition. This record is allowing us to do different things creatively. I've been able to come out a few times, more than usual to come to Detroit and work with Em for this record"
Eminem goes on to explain that "My Life" represents the feeling he and 50 get by being in the sometimes overwhelming media spotlight.
"[The video] is kind of like a glimpse into the way we were feeling when we made the record," Em said. "The video is kind of abstract. It's kind of metaphoric in a sense of like the paranoia of feeling like we're being chased. The helicopter in the video kind of represents the spotlight. Whether it's true or not, it's kind of how we feel. It's kind of a metaphor of us running from our lives. Personal lives and from fame and everything that goes with the game."
