This is a song about Eminem’s childhood with him reflecting on his past experiences. In the song, Eminem introspectively examines his life reflecting on such topics as his troubled childhood, marital conflicts, and resentful feud with his mother. Also in the song, he describes how others protest his lyrics. He expresses the anger that he feels towards his family and how he is better off without them now. This is portrayed in the video using close-ups and making what we see in the video correspond to what he is saying.The video helps the audience to understand how his mother treated him as a child and how it has shaped how he thinks today.
With reference to post modernism, it encourages people to change the way they think about rap music which is often associated with violence , explicit language and women being portrayed in a particulary provactive manner. Instead, the video is more emotional and the woman in the video, Eminem's mother, is portrayed as the anagonist and is not on sexual display.
