Holy crap. I just watched "Mosh", the latest Eminem video.

I'm almost speechless .. not only is this video absolutely fantastic, in an estehic way, it's truly a work of art, graphically, but the song and the lyrics are dead on.

I get chills when I watch this, and I'm not even that big a fan of Eminem in the first place.

I mean, even Moby digged this musicvideo, for crying out loud. This is the kind of thing that could jolt some important late-teen/early 20s-voters out of the sofa.

What do you think?

PS: Someone please search Salon for the link to this video, and post it here, (I didn't find it, sorry), or search suprnova.org for a torrent.

2. I'm no rap fan, but this video is really moving.
Hope it has an impact. Very, very antiBush.

12. I bought one two days ago
I've been wearing it ever since, even to the office. Today's Freaky Friday so I can get away with it, plus there's something wrong with the heat so can justify dressing warm.

21. I got mine this morning
just in case I have to go visit a polling station while volunteering, it makes a statement, without actually making one. I like that.

23. Use Internet Exlporer
instead of Safari for your browser. I hate IE but keep it on hand because some stuff just won't work with Safari.

24. You can download a free trial of RealOne here ...

Then go back to the earlier URL and watch. I hope this works for you. It's worth the extra time and effort.

5. I dislike Eminem
But I really like that song and that video. I hope he keeps pumping out more truth music from now on. If he does, he'll have a new fan.

10. I really dislike him, too, but ...
I will admit I was moved by that video and song. The Repugs and the rest of the "establishment" has done a really good job of making young people and the poor feel so disenfranchised that some of them think it's a protest to not vote or don't feel it can possibly matter. If Eminem can convince them otherwise, I'm grateful to him for that.

9. Really tremendous.
Eminem's got a lot of fans, and I hope they all saw it in time to get their vote on.

11. Yup, it's his go-to-heaven moment
Whatever else he has done or will do, this work will live on, transcending its genre and its era. That video is art, pure and simple - something that shouts TRUTH so loudly that it cannot be ignored.

Wearin' my black hoody now.

13. Used to hate Eminem... Until 8 Mile...
The man is astounding me, I just saw the video, and almost wept. Damn, Marshall Mathers--- When did you decide to step up and decide to stop bitching about your Ex Wife and start caring about the US? ROCK ON!

    Anyone else listening to Eminem on Z100 in New York? He's talking about the Shady National Convention and how he's gonna be on SNL tomorrow night. He'll be performing "Just Lose It" and another song he can't name.

    edit: Em slipped on his way out and the blurted out that the second song will be Mosh


"Another song he can't name," eh? Yep, sounds like he's been told not to do it, and he's gonna do it anyway.

Heh, this might require a popcorn run...

The first time was so powerful - I can't believe I'm all worked up over an Eminem video, but it was so great!
