Should Headlights have a video?

by **S.T.A.N.** » Dec 2nd, '13, 05:39

Given the pop feature, and the theme of the song I think it should have a video.

What do you think?

by **RSoares** » Dec 2nd, '13, 05:52

Yes, it should, but it won't. Em doesn't even want to talk about it, so, I think he wouldn't shoot a video for this.

So many songs would have a sick video.

Bad Guy
Legacy
Stronger Than I Was
Headlights
So Far
Love Game
Evil Twin

It would be sick.

Will it? ehhhh. As someone else said, Eminem doesn't wanna touch the subject anymore. At the same time, he's missing out on a huge chance to promote the album by putting an Em x Nate song on the radio. It would be an instant hit.

Agreed, Bad Guy and Headlights must have videos. Lots of movie potential in their stories.

I think the song is a genius Christmas single.

But, I don't care for a video for it.

It'll just be a literal story. I don't find that interesting or artistically engaging. If they did something visually interesting with it, and made it intense and metaphorical... it could be cool, but other than that, it would just be "When I'm Gone" / "Mockingbird"-like, which is pretty pointless IMO.

I'd love to see a video for ROR though. I think they could do some kind of weird spy aesthetic to fit the music and Em could be in some cool ass style to fit the theme... it could be something, visually, and further imply the nostalgia of "Berzerk" and "Rap God".

"Rap God" video is one of his best yet.

I think so, but before Headlights i would love for a Bad Guy video :flutter:

and both are kind of a continuation of previous tracks that had videos so it would be really cool to see what he could do this time around :8)

No, like EminemBase said, it would be too literal.

yes if he wants to go down the "karma" route, he has a video out, hating on his mom, so it's only right to put this one out.. i'm personally not fussed but it could be a good move from his perspective

Would be dope

Bad Guy, So Far, Rhyme Or Reason, & Evil Twin need a video tho

That's when you know Em is the king of storytelling :worship:

by **Sofi1993** » Dec 2nd, '13, 19:32

No. Em doesn't even want to talk about the song

by **Jimmy Conway** » Dec 2nd, '13, 19:36

There are so many videos I'd rather see before that.

They can have a cut scene of him writing the lyrics on a plane during a stormy flight, they can add a spin on the Cleaning Out My Closet concept (one of my favorite Eminem videos) and it would be great if the end of the video would show Eminem reunited with his mom....

And as Embase mentioned, this would be an excellent Christmas single. They should've waited to release the Monster.... that song is far from special.

''Monster's doing well though.

No. Not that videos are really ever worth a shit to begin with (the exception being Role Model), but it would just make it appear as though Eminem did the song as exploitation. "He jus' says whatever he needs 2 to remain relevant and whatever benefits his career."
