For some reason, the connection to the video keeps timing out, but I'll say this: Any****ing moron that gets their politics via Eminem video probably shouldnt be voting.

Haha! You both believe what you WANT to believe (just like most of the rest of us). Your "news" source matters not.

Uhhh, yea? It was written by Eminem........and please don't refer to rap as a song, there's nothing musical about it :stosh:

To borrow a old WCW stunt "Rap is Crap" I know. I'm sorry for my error.

This Mosh rap is crap, even worse than usual rap crap.

Yeah, but that tired ass line of "Rap ain't music" makes you sound like Archie Bunker.

:D

Music is in the ear of the listener though, so to each his own.

We were talking about music, not religion.........but nice try my little socialist buddy. On a positive you did manage to amuse -BB- although it appears that's not hard to do.

BTW, I don't like Jeebus? I don't even know who the hell Jeebus is???? ;)

Actually, I agree. It's poetry, more than music.

Which makes it about 100 times as interesting as anything you'll hear from Toby Keith or Britney Spears or Madonna...

Cool vid. If it convinces 18-21 year olds to finally get off their asses and vote then Eminem just did more community service than a judge could ever demand.

Whether or not you think musicians opinions are valid, they are in a position to have them heard. I think it's commendable to make the effort for something you believe in. 100x more substance than anything else you'll hear on mainstream radio.

HAHAHAHA, good one changleen.

The simple fact is most highly mainstream music, whether it be pop, rap, psuedo-punk, rock, emo, whatever, is barely music already. Just because white guys playing three chords and singing songs sounds more melodious to you than black guys speaking rythmically over a beat doesnt make it any more legitimate. Until you know something about a genre you didnt learn on MTV, BET, or VH1, please dont comment on it. But Hulk is not here to berate, hulk is here to educate, so check out Micheal Franti and Spearhead, Black Eyed Peas, Blackalicious, and Blackstar if you wanna hear what rap can be.

...I just hope they do more to educate themselves than to listen to what Eminem has to say about things.

BTW, anyone catch this months Rolling Stone. There was a sidebar in a "youth electorate" article with a bunch of poll results. The one I found most profound is that the majority of under 20 voters polled were forming their opinion based on the likes of opinions of Bruce Sprinsteen and Dave Matthews.

Here is the article, they didn't post the sidebars though, bummer.
http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/story/_/id/6562596?pageid=rs.Politics&pageregion=single1

Favorite quote from the article:
"To reach youth who don't normally come to campaign events or get-out-the-vote rallies, Michael Moore has launched the Slacker Uprising Tour: a push through sixty cities in twenty battleground states to bring nonvoters into the electoral fold. Those who register receive free beer, snack foods and clean underwear. "I am calling for a nonvoter uprising," Moore declared, "led by thousands of campus slackers who proudly sleep till noon and who believe that papers are for rolling, not reading."

Taken from the song "Kill You"

[Chorus: Eminem]

Bitch I'ma kill you! You don't wanna **** with me
Girls neither - you ain't nuttin but a slut to me
Bitch I'ma kill you! You ain't got the balls to beef
We ain't gon' never stop beefin I don't squash the beef
You better kill me! I'ma be another rapper dead
for poppin off at the mouth with **** I shouldn'ta said
But when they kill me - I'm bringin the world with me
Bitches too! You ain't nuttin but a girl to me
.. I said you don't, wanna **** with Shady (cause why?)
Cause Shady, will ****in kill you (ah-haha)
I said you don't, wanna **** with Shady (why?)
Cause Shady, will ****in kill you..

Everything you've admitted to aspiriring to be, rich, succesful, hard working.
Agree or disagree with the man, the message of this video is personally refreshing. How many hip hop video's is full of cash, cars, women, bling, decadence. At least there's a message here.

The same way you're fine with dead Iraqi civilians killed by American bombs. Don't think of it as "wife beating lyrics", think of it as collateral damage with words.

Nope i'm talking about this individual video.
So your are ok with discounting any future song and video's by this guy by focusing on one song, that you probably haven't even heard? i know i haven't heard it, i'm not a fan i don't know anything of his besides the mainstream stuff you can't avoid. i'm not going to discount the video on a song i've never heard since i can't say how it was sung in context to the content.
i like the message of the video, and song since he could very well easily sing about his Rolex, Mercedes, and bitches. Like what tons of other rappers do.
i used to dig Public Enemy, N.W.A., way back in the day, regardless of if i believed what they had to say at least they were sayin somethin.
