Good grief, Eminem as an anti-Bush political activist? Or does he think it will help sales of the new CD? http://www.gnn.tv/content/eminem_mosh.html - Joe
This thread has "POLITICAL" written all over it! If care isn't taken, the padlocks will go "ka-chink"!
The new vid is interesting to see as a foreigner. Isn't music (and pop videos, by direct association) an indicator of public opinion throughout the ages? I'm thinking the Beatles, Rolling Stones, hippie and drug culture... are we witnessing a revolution in thought, or just mere popcorn for the juvenile minds of America? Only time will tell... a few days, to be exact.
I didn't care much for the song although to be fair I've only watched the video on my laptop because everyone was raving about it, and everything sounds like crap on the laptop. On the other hand, it is a great video from a visual perspective, regardless of whether or not you agree with its message. And I do think that it is resonating with its intended audience because apparently it hit number one on MTV's TRL yesterday.
I gotta say Emineme needs to get rid of his production team (Him, Dre, etc) and go with someone new (Questlove, Jay Dee, Primo, Eight Wonder) because this song is BORING. If the whole new album is like this Em needs an award for making the same record (the music) four times. -Tom
