Eminem's angst-filled video, 'Mosh,' spread rapidly on the Internet, might actually get youth to the polls
Eminem's angst-filled video, 'Mosh,' spread rapidly on the Internet, might actually get youth to the polls: "Leave it to Eminem to write the instruction manual on how to start a revolution in the 21st Century.
As celebrities ranging from P. Diddy to Drew Barrymore made the rounds supporting voter registration drives and youth involvement this election season, their efforts have been easy to ridicule -- often seeming staged, patronizing or worse yet, old.
Contrast that with Eminem's genuinely angst-filled, finger-on-the-pulse 'Mosh' video, which was leaked to the Internet last week and has since become another one of those spreads-like-a-virus online phenomena. Without the benefit of a publicity campaign, it could have a real effect motivating young people to get to the polls tomorrow.
'Mosh,' part of Eminem's new album set for release later this month, first appeared on the Internet as an audio file two weeks ago. The 5 1/2 minute track features a slow driving beat, as the 32-year-old rapper, whose real name is Marshall Mathers, carves President Bush apart with years of pent- up anger. "
