Uh...yea, i'd say he's *oh so slightly* anti-Bush :)

i disagree with the message in the song...but lyrically it's incredible...and the music video is amazing. quite powerful, actually.

The guy is changing too much, rappers should have no place nor an opinion about politics.

so just because they rap for a living means they shouldn't have an opinion and be able to vote? :frown:

That statement alone proves its not rappers that need their voting rights revoked, its people like you. I also am anti-bush, but believe everybody has a right to their opinion, and to vote how the please, wheter it be for, or against bush.

eminem hates bush:

But I'd rather rap than get into this gangsta ****
And it ain't because I'm a bitch
It's because I ain't a bitch, I don't endanger people that I'm with
I'm a general, I ain't Bush, I don't send my soldiers to war
I'm right there in the middle of the **** with 'em, so when I do get 'em

I totally disagree.. why is a rapper any different then any other celeb? They use their popularity and fame to spread their beliefs. If they can get more kids to vote, and get more young people to care about what goes on with our government then more power to them. Just because he is anti-bush doesn't mean he is going to sway people to follow him. Not saying ALL people won't follow him, because some will just because of who he is. But I think what he is doing is a good thing.. JMO

Indeed. He ripped on Clinton when it was popular to do that, he ripped on gays when it was new and popular to do that, he does what Interscope tells him to do. Hence why he is just now coming out with a song against Bush.......hes had many years and opportunities to do so, hes just waiting until now so it actually gets some air play and sells CDs. If Bush was popular with 13 year olds who overhear Howard Stern conversations then I'm sure this song would be insulting Kerry..........I have nothing against the guy for it mind you, I'm just telling it like it is. I would even say I agree with some of the things he says about Bush......

The thing I like best about Eminem is his videos, but since hes not the genious behind that.......I only give credit where credit is due.

i agree but as someone said in this thread that rappers and celebs shouldnt be allowed to try to "sway" voters.. and my response to that is that if a song like that influances your opinion you shouldnt be voting in the first place..
