Eminem Talks Bush Song

Rapper calls Iraq war "mess," blames president

Eminem's upcoming album, Encore, due November 16th, features the fierce anti-Bush song "Mosh," which was leaked online today.
In the Dr. Dre-produced track, the rapper denounces the war in Iraq. "Rebel with a rebel yell, raise hell," Eminem raps. "We gonna let him know/Stomp, push, shove, mush, fuck Bush!/Until they bring our troops home." Later in the song, he adds, "Let the president answer on higher anarchy/Strap him with an AK-47, let him go fight his own war/Let him impress daddy that way . . . No more blood for oil."

"[Bush] has been painted to be this hero, and he's got our troops over there dying for no reason," says Eminem in an upcoming Rolling Stone cover story (on stands November 5th). "I think he started a mess . . . He jumped the gun, and he fucked up so bad he doesn't know what to do right now . . . We got young people over there dyin', kids in their teens, early twenties that should have futures ahead of them. And for what? It seems like a Vietnam 2. Bin Laden attacked us, and we attacked Saddam. Explain why that is. Give us some answers."

The thirty-two-year-old rapper says he has registered to vote for the first time -- but stops short of endorsing a candidate. "Whatever my decision is, I would like to see Bush out of office," Eminem says. "I don't wanna see my little brother get drafted -- he just turned eighteen. People think their votes don't count, but people need to get out and vote. Every motherfuckin' vote counts."

If you didn't already know...I totally agree.

Every motherfuckin' vote counts.

Sounds like a new PSA to me.

 

[Fresh Prince]

Eminem for President!!
With a keen political mind like- he is truly a treasure to Emerica.

Who cares what .... oh..nevermind. Wrong crowd.

This draft myth is getting out of hand... you libs say Bush is out spewing fear, but you've got John Kerry out there pushing this idea and MTV using all its might to do the same...

The only people pushing for a draft?

Not Bush and Co.

Not Rummy and Wolfowitz...

Say hi to Charley Rangel (D) and his buddies

Defeated in the house 402-2

No Republicans voted for it...

Not saying Democrats are for bringing back a draft, but they don't stand to accuse when the only people bringing it up are their own... at least use some facts

sounds more like a 15 year old's thoughts on the war. Some celebrities/artists shouldn't get too political. Em is one of them.

The article comes out on the 5th??!? Uhh, good job being late with an election article

What worries me though, is that there are many 50 year olds out there whose thoughts on the war are way more immature and ignorant than those of the 15 year olds.

The only thing wrong with Eminem's comments is the remark about the draft...as if it were a sure thing to make a return.
