Longtime associates Eminem and 50 Cent discussed their newly-released track "My Life." Em explained what inspired the video for the song and shared that it reflects the 'paranoia' of being hip hop stars.

"The video is kind of abstract; it's kind of metaphoric in a sense, like the paranoia of feeling like we're being chased," said Em on the set of the video shoot to MTV News. "Whether it's true or not, it's kind of how we feel. It's kind of a metaphor for us running for our lives. Personal lives and from fame, everything that goes with the game."

“The album itself is more personal than the albums in the past Now this record, it’s allowed us to do different things creatively," 50 said of the album on which the track is featured. "I’ve been able to come out a few times, more than usual to come to Detroit and work with Em for this record.”
