In this half hour special, Eminem will take us through the storylines, concepts and his personal feelings about "Just Lose It," "Mosh," "Like Toy Soldiers," and the self-directed "Mockingbird."

Here's a glimpse at what Eminem has to say:

Eminem on "Toy Soldier":

"Toy Soldiers was a way for me to try and explain the reason that the beef got started and then, at least from my side, call a truce and try to put an end to it before somebody gets hurt, killed, whatever."

Eminem on his video "Mockingbird" and what fatherhood means to him:

"If I had to choose between fatherhood and music, I would give music up in a second for my kids."

Eminem on his video "Mosh":

"I don't have a problem with America itself. I feel like this is the best country to live in. But at the same time, one man can 'mess' it up."

Eminem on his video "Just Lose It":

"I was surprised with Michael Jackson's reaction; the video wasn't intended to make a pass at Michael Jackson."
