Goodwin's Principles - 4

Star Image Motifs

Eminem demonstrates the rule of music video's representing the artist with a star image. Eminem's videos usually have humour in them, star himself as a variety of characters, have intertextual references and can also sometimes be quite controversial through both lyrics and visuals. An example of the controversy is shown in this video on a number of occasions, one of the most memorable being when he dresses up as Bin Laden, but then waves a white flag in surrender, and then starts dancing around with all the other men in the cave.
