Eminem f/ Sia "Guts Over Fear" (Syndrome, dir.)

In which our fighter learns that he can't summon his full power until he's pushed back against the wall... Eminem returns with this inspirational look back at overcoming his own odds while the video shows a similar story with a boxer.

PS: You weren't expecting the notoriously camerashy Sia to appear in this video, did you? Her wig is donned here by the distinctive model Chantelle Brown-Young aka Winnie Harlow, who has the skin condition vitiligo.

Beyonce "7/11"

Beyonce's suprise game is mad TIGHT. "7/11" comes tumbling down like a perfect crap roll — see what I did there? — and seeming like an off-the-cuff homemovie except that it's a) really good and b) hits almost every hip bulletpoint you can think of: Twerking? Yep. Red cups? Sure, why not. Kale? Of course, it's the vegetable of the year (sorry, Cauliflower).
