Hip-hop heavyweight Eminem gets a little help from his fans in a spankin’-new promo for the 2010 MTV Music Video Awards!

The ad — which premiered to audiences on Tuesday — features this year’s most nominated male artist escaping from a fiery car crash with the help of a few Slim Shady Stans. The rapper explained that the visual is based on a scene from a classic 1954 flick starring Marlon Brando.

“It’s kind of a take on ‘On the Waterfront.’ Like, loosely. The car is exploding and I’m hurt.”

Eminem will take the stage for a live performance when the 2010 MTV VMAs — hosted by Chelsea Handler — air this Sunday, Sept. 12 @ 9PM EDT. The Recovery star is up for a whopping eight Moonmen at this week’s show.
