Holy sh..anyone seen the new Eminem video?

[BayouBrave86]

Mosh? Damn he criticizes Bush so much in that video. Dayum, can't belive they'd put it on air, it openly criticizes him, pretty powerful stuff.

You talkin about the one that was part cartoon? If so, that was posted a while back...

Heaven forbid anyone criticize the president of the United States. It's not like we live in a democracy that protects free speech with the constitution or anything like that.

Geez :doh:

I like eminem, but to think that his "opinion" has any real bearing on real life politics is utterly rediculous!

His video will have zero impact on this election

I don't like eminem and could care less what he thinks.

This is MTV, VH1, et al... if it's about bashing Bush, they're all over it.

Still, regardless how I vote, I won't take political advice from musicians or other celebs with their own agendas trying to tell me how I should feel about issues. I wish they'd just stick to entertainment.

Whatever he thinks, the better choice would probably be the opposite.

[BayouBrave86]

Yeah pez, my bad didn't realize you had posted something about it.

[Predicto]

I thought that was only on the internet? Am I wrong?

It was pretty intense, I must say.

[Hooper]

From an creative standpoint, it's an amazing video.

Good job Em! I loved the video. And to the person that doesn't think artists can swing the vote you better think again.

Skinsfan is right.... although musicians do not alter my perceptions, we do have a large base out there that can be easily manipulated by media/artists..

That being said, I liked the video and have always liked Eminem for speaking his mind and many of his lyrics are inspiring or have demonstrated his emotions quite well...

I don't think anyone doubts that they can swing votes. However, I doubt the intelligence of any person who votes according to what a music video told them.

My thoughts exactly. No doubt in my mind that a celeb coming out for/against a particular individual can influence certain age groups or certain mindsets, but I question the people who vote for Bush because Schilling or Ted Nugent thinks he's great or Kerry because Michael Stipe and Ben Affleck make college kids thing he's "kewel."

Come to think of it, having Ben Affleck's support is reason enough to not like Kerry... ;)

i dont think the video would be as popular if it was pro bush. Lloyd Banks and Dick Cheney?, thats a no go.

He sang it (or lip-synced it) on SNL this past Sat.

Maybe SNL has something going on where they want all the artists to lip synch...
