65. He got a good message on Corporate owned MTV

As to the Gay issue I thought he had addressed some of the incorrect wording he has used, via his movie and some statements. But true in order to shock and get a laugh he will say things that shouldn't be said.

But overall he's been saying a positive message about things that aren't discussed. The White mainstream media and pundits have a harder time executing their destructive practice of discounting these views as as merely someone who blames others, because he is white and pointing out the disparities in race and between rich and poor.

The gnn website has the below story about eminem's video at:

Eminem calls for regime change in a controversial new video directed by GNN's Ian Inaba


Now on the eve of the most contentious American presidential election in recent history, Eminem is making another bold statement with his song “Mosh,” and its sure to be controversial new music video produced and directed by GNN’s own, Ian Inaba. The video is premiering today here on GNN.tv .

This is not Eminem’s first political statement. In 2002, GNN’s Stephen Marshall directed the music video for “White America.” the rapper dealt with race, violence and a corrupt president in his typically provocative manner. The animated GNN video featured, among other images, Eminem urinating on the White House lawn in full view of a puppet president dancing on oil drums, and bloodied teenagers unzipping themselves out of bodybags .

Eminem, in his typically egotistical way, is calling for regime change.

Some Lyrics from the song:

Come along, follow me, as I lead through the darkness.
As I provide just enough spark that we need, to proceed.
Carry on, give me hope, give me strength, come with me, and I won’t, steer you wrong.
Give your faith and your trust, as I guide us through the fog, to the light at the end of the tunnel.

Let us set aside our differences and assemble our own army to disarm this weapon of mass destruction that we call our president for the present, and march for the future of our next generation to speak and be heard.
