I came across this yesterday and I'm still floored. Has anyone else seen the video for Eminem's new single "Mosh"? If not, you can download it here http://www.gnn.tv/videos/.
There's also an extended review with lyrics here .
One week before the US election, Eminem has released an animated anti-Bush, anti-war video that ends with him leading throngs of young people to the polling booth. The imagery is great - a wall of news clippings describing the crimes of the Administration, a bin Laden video where the background falls over to reveal him in a studio with Rumsfeld and Cheney, a growing army of angry young people in black hoodies taking to the streets.
The two things I find most interesting about this are Marshall's suddenly politicised tone and the potentially significant effect it could have in motivating his enormous but largely apolitical fanbase to vote. There aren't many people who hold as much sway within that bloc. I'm having fantasies of crowds in black hoodies swarming the polls.
