Guts Over Fear

Guts Over Fear

Eminem (Ft. Sia)

On this track Eminem contemplates his legacy and career. He dwells on the feeling that he has no emotion left and that he is singing the same old song. He regrets the pain he has caused others with his pen and he expresses the feeling that his career is coming to a close. It should be noted that he uses the same rhyme scheme throughout both verses.

Just like “Beautiful Pain,” this song both features Sia and was produced by Emile. Both songs also show a softer side of Eminem we don’t really see. In his other songs he isn’t as sympathetic and understanding.

ShadyXV’s lead single was used for The Equalizer’s trailer, and plays during the credits. The official music video was released along with the album on November 24th, 2014.
