Eminem has dropped his latest video, with visuals by Guerilla News Network's Ian Inaba. It's a stunning piece of work. Eminem is making a play for the times, to be a cultural leader of a revolutionary generation. I don't know how that will work out in the long run, but it makes for a great driving piece of music and a very aggressive video.

While it's very unlikely in my mind that this video will ever get airplay, maybe if we all write it in on TRL they'll get up the bottle to put it on. In the meantime, pass the word and get people to watch it online. You can see it here (click the image at left) or on the GNN website. Pass it on.

Marshal Mathers is a man with mass appeal. Mosh uses that appeal for unity, for a focus in the fighting spirit of the hip hop nation; focus to organize, gather, and achieve some great ends:

Don't matter what color, all that matters is we gathered together
To celebrate for the same cause, no matter the weather
If it rains let it rain, yea the wetter the better
They ain't gonna stop us, they can't, we're stronger now more then ever,
They tell us no we say yea, they tell us stop we say go,
Rebel with a rebel yell, raise hell we gonna let em know
Stomp, push up, mush, fuck Bush, until they bring our troops home

The video is a grand and moving suplement to the lyrics and music. All told, it's definitely hot. Gave me goosebumps to be honest.

And as we proceed, to mosh through this desert storm, in these closing statements, if they should argue, let us beg to differ, as we 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 mosh for the future of our next generation, to speak and be heard, Mr. President, Mr. Senator, (can you hear us?)

I've seen enough data to be convinced: if our generation turns out -- from the indy kids to the neo-hippies, the hip hoppers, punk rockers and metalheads -- we will own this election, and won't nobody be able to spin that away from us.

If we do our thing on Nov 2nd, they'll have to hear us. There won't be any choice about it.
