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.

I agree with you on all counts.

Eminem's misogyny has been fading in recent years, to the point that he's starting to remind me of the Beastie Boys: fratboy knuckleheads until about 1991 then a shift into social commentary followed by mature but smart and funny work. Mr. Mathers started out further along the commentary track, and isn't there yet with the maturity, but he's become one of the very few rap artists to whom I pay attention.

If things break right for him over the next few years and he continues to develop, he could be a very powerful voice up there with the Clash and Public Enemy.
