A thousand people in the street...

OK, I am not a fan of Eminem. I find him misogynistic, and rap just isn't my thing for the most part.

That being said, Mosh is one of the best political songs and videos I've seen in twenty years. The protest song is alive, kicking, and severely pissed off.

See the video (legally) at:

Get out and vote November 2nd.

Oh, without a doubt. It's just that that thread of the urban subculture is reprehensible and Eminem is showing signs of growing past it. This is a good thing, as gangsta rap seems to have strangled every other variety of the form and I suspect they're painting themselves into a corner -- never a good sign for an art form.

If Eminem breaks out the paint stripper and escapes the trap, I'm lining up for what he produces from then on.
