Notably, none of the three rappers—Eminem, Dr. Dre, or 50 Cent—actually appear in the video, which contributed to it being shelved for so many years. Creative Meaning
It set a record at the time for one of the highest digital sales weeks in history.
The song’s release was a cultural moment, marking the first time the "platinum trio" had collaborated since 2004. It achieved massive commercial success:
The video is ghoulish and surreal, featuring a homeless woman holding a bottle that opens to reveal different "rooms" representing the rappers' states of mind.
The story behind the 2009 hit is one of a "happy accident" that revitalized the careers of Eminem, Dr. Dre, and 50 Cent during a period of high anticipation for their respective returns. The Leak That Changed Plans
Originally, the track wasn't intended to be a lead single for Eminem's album Relapse . It was widely rumored to have been recorded as a reference track for Dr. Dre’s long-delayed (and eventually scrapped) album, Detox . However, an unfinished version—then known as "Number One"—leaked online in late 2008.
