Anyone see the new 'Mosh' video yet?

[rockydem]

Any threads on this subject?

From Drudge:

"Updated Eminem video for 'Mosh' shows Vice President Dick Cheney suffering a heart attack and concludes with Eminem leading a mob in rushing the Capitol during Bush's State of the Union speech, replacing the original ending in which the rapper simply took his followers to the voting booth... Developing..."

2. What's mosh? Have you seen the new MJ "Thriller" video? It's great.

3. "Mosh" is a cultural watershed.

Your silly attempt at marginalizing it does not diminish its impact.

The pendulum of cultural consciousness is swinging, don't get knocked out by trying to stand in its way.

6. I was a commenting on how topical this post is, calm down.

[DenverDem]

13. Say what you mean, then.

Fuck a lot of calming down.

8. With all due respect,

we need to be wary of allies like Eminem. Like anyone actually cares what he thinks about politics, I didn't see him doing anything besides the music video. If he's so anti-Bush, then why didn't he help the campaign against him?

10. His video was well received and it

was especially meaningful to the younger voters.

14. I care as much about what Eminem thinks as I do about what you think.

He has just as much right to his opinion as you do and a lot more avenues with which to express it. Everyone does what they can to promote the causes they believe in. Unfortunately, for you, they won't all live up to your expectations.

9. The best moment in the "Mosh" video is...

...Osama Bin Laden sitting for another video appearance, and while he's talking, the backdrop accidentally falls over and it is revealed to be in a studio with a couple of Dick Cheney types standing in the background.

11. Eminem is definately talented

but do we really want to put him in a position of speaking for us?

A couple of smart videos doesn not make a political revolutionary.

[nonconformist]

12. Why the hell not? We need all the voices we can get nt

[Kimber Scott]

15. Maybe... he's speaking for himself. It's what artists do. Oh, and

Americans, too.

[Protagoras]

20. No I don't think Americans are supposed to do that anymore

we're supposed to shutup and consume. Haven't you recieved the memo yet?

[Kimber Scott]

21. I think I used it to soak up the grease from my freedom fries.

:shrug:

17. "Speaking For Us"? He & Mike Moore Are ARTISTS Who Speak For

themselves.

Noone needs another to "speak for them" except maybe babies.

People need to learn to Express Their own SELF.

[AgadorSparticus]

18. do you really think eminem is speaking to YOU? have you bought

his CD's lately? ever? it's not about you or me.

think rap is just full of crap leading nowhere? it's a billion dollar industry. it is a force behind pop culture. it has the ears of millions of young people. you know, the young folks who we were trying to get out the vote???

why do you think Chuck D is on unfiltered? you think the likes of russell simmons and p.diddy don't have influence on the next generation--or kids in the inner cities? you think inner city kids are going to listen to will pitt? (no offense to will pitt. he's great.) but, c'mooooooon.....
