October 26, 200421 yr http://boss.streamos.com/wmedia/interscope...00_mosh-rev.asx WMP version. Like him or hate him, he is the pop culture voice of a generation...if it gets kids thinking politically, it can only be a good thing.
October 26, 200421 yr I don't necessarily agree with the message (Hell, the thing kept buffering, I could only see the first thirty seconds before I gave up to go to class) but it's comforting to know that right or wrong there is still someone out there in the music industry that cares.
October 26, 200421 yr That was awesome. I never thought I'd actually like something from Eminem, he now has my respect at least politically.
October 26, 200421 yr he now has my respect at least politically Anybody who says anything anti-Bush does. :lolup
October 26, 200421 yr he now has my respect at least politically Anybody who says anything anti-Bush does. :lolup 601573[/snapback] You realize anything you say now isn't even respected by the conservatives. You never back anything up.
October 26, 200421 yr Yeah, I really want an uneducated high school drop out exerting political influence on the children of today b/c he can rap. If Em was anyone else besides a rapper you wouldn't trust him to change your oil. But now he's got some type of social significance? Actors, musicians and the like sould keep their uneducated, out of touch pie holes shut and stop acting like they matter, regardless of where their political allegiances lie.

October 26, 200421 yr Actors, musicians and the like sould keep their uneducated, out of touch pie holes shut and stop acting like they matter, regardless of where their political allegiances lie. Exactly, I don't need Britney Spears, Toby Keith, Greenday, Bruce Springsteen and others endorsing political candidates. When will they understand no one cares? This is why only 200 showed up for a Cher "Get out the vote" thingy and only 38 showed up for a Rosie O' Donalle thingy.
October 26, 200421 yr I don't hate him. As a matter of fact I like the music. I like Sean Penn as an actor, too. But that doesn't mean anyone should give them the time of day politically. And it's not the same as Coulter or any of the Dem talking heads on the idiot box. At least they are qualified. Musicians and actors are grossly uneducated cretins.

And I do agree that most musicians and actors are very uneducated. Ala the same ones who endorsed Nader. Though that doesn't apply to all, there are some very intelligient actors and musicians out there.
October 26, 200421 yr Though that doesn't apply to all, there are some very intelligient actors and musicians out there. And those intelligent musicians aren't getting involved in politics. :whistle
October 27, 200421 yr Author He's no different than an entertainer such as Limbaugh or Franken, so why should this type of entertainer bar himself from the political arena.
October 27, 200421 yr Wow, I didn't think he could top the messages he put out in "White America" (even if he says he's just playing in that song).
October 27, 200421 yr Anybody who's shallow enough to let a high school drop out overrated rapper affect their opinion has issues much more serious than political to worry about.
October 27, 200421 yr He's no different than an entertainer such as Limbaugh or Franken, so why should this type of entertainer bar himself from the political arena. 601711[/snapback] Then I guess we should all go see Limbaugh and Franken perform rap. Theyre about as qualified to rap as Eminem is to talk about politics.
October 29, 200421 yr He's on a big stage- he has a lot of fans and he want to make a difference in the world. Some kids will listen to him so he's using his situation to his advantage. Gotta respect that.
October 29, 200421 yr #1 video on MTV. 603359[/snapback] Well of course, as long as Eminem sings it, every 16 year old girl in the country and 17 year old white guy who thinks he's a thug will vote for it.

It'll stay #1, too, until well after the election.
October 29, 200421 yr He's no different than an entertainer such as Limbaugh or Franken, so why should this type of entertainer bar himself from the political arena. 601711[/snapback] Because he is advocating a vote against Bush's policies!! Don't you see! It is wrong for you to be a celebrity with liberal political opinions. It is ok however, if you are celebrity who happens to be conservative. If you are Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jessie Ventura, Ronald Reagan is ok to get involved in politics, because you are a conservative. But don't even think about you Susan Sarandons, you Chers, you Sean Penns, you Eminems of the world open up your mouths to speak up against a conservative... Then you "should shut your pie holes". :mischief I think it is the most brilliant piece of art I have seen. A real political statement that was missing from the music industry. Music, like it or not, you conservative nazis is and will always be an expression of society... Right now, society is very pissed.... :mad : And me and many more will "lead through the darkness" into the polls! :mad :
October 29, 200421 yr Lina, thanks for the amendment link btw. 603400[/snapback] You're welcome. It is always best to be informed on the pros and cons.
