perfectly to start or finish on the beat of the music. From the video we see
Marshall with his daughter Hailie and how he abandons her and his wife
Kim for his fans. This shows he prefers his career over his family and is
fighting his alter ego. When Hailie turns up in Sweden, Marshall raps
about how he left them and he said he would come back, but from Hailie's
point of view. At 4:05 Hailie lips sinks with the music and the camera cuts
between her and Marshall which creates a disappointment towards
Eminem at as he has let his daughter and family down. We can that Hailie
is disappointed with her dad, and we soon see Eminem, Kim and Hailie by
the swings happily because he has realized what he has done, and killed
his alter-ego.
