Eminem

As I was watching the Grammy's last night I could not help to notice that one artist that most people have forgotten about lately is Eminem. Most people don't know him for his politically charged songs but he has quite a few. Eminem is a perfect example of a musical artist that has definitely fought the status quo. From talking about his personal drug problem to murdering his wife in his songs and fighting the Federal Communication Commision's censorship of him. Eminem really is the parent's nightmare. I remember when I was in middle school I had to make a real effort to listen to any of his music because of my parents. They, like most, strongly disapproved of Eminem and anything he had to say. Two of his most popular political songs are "Mosh" and "Square Dance." "Square Dance" was released after the September 11 terrorist attacks and is very critical of the Bush Administration's response to it. "Mosh," a much more popular song that you may have heard on the radio, is another song very critical of the Bush Administration. "Mosh" was released on the internet for free just before the 2004 presidential election. It calls on voters to vote George Bush out of office.
