Apparently Eminem’s latest video has Al Queda up in arms:
I love that video. At the end, just as a group of rappers is about to clobber Emimen Bin Laden, he grabs a white flag, raises it, and they all begin to dance.
Plus he makes fun of Moby.
Damn! I haven’t seen it yet!
Yeah, I’d like to see Al Queda take on Tha Dawg Pound.
heh heh heh
Yeah, apparently Eminenm has hired two more bodyguards. I’m sure that makes a huge dent in his “posse.”
So, is it bad to root for Osama here? Just a little? 
Do you get BET? They show it all the time.
Plus the running gag throughout the video is a rapper (Dr. Dre possibly) playing Batman and MM playing Robin (Burt Ward style).
That video is very funny indeed.
I was watching it on MTV yesterday, and they’d bleeped the word ‘MTV’: “Tried to shut me down on ___”.
Are they censoring their own brand name to avoid annoying other sponsors, or are they protecting their name from being dragged thru the mud by Mr. Mathers; or indeed are they a bunch of idiots?
Nah, don’t have cable. 
And when has MTV been anything but slaveringly supportive to Eminem? Yuck. He’s so despicable.
MM is back in style…
It looks like it really will take al Qaeda to take him out… 
Without Me is easily my favorite song of his. As long as he stays away from the ultra-violent shock value songs, he’s enjoyable. He’s definitely a talented rhymer.
I actually like the video and 'cos makes me chuckle. (The part where he’s dressed up as Bin Laden is a hoot.) The song is pretty catchy too, but I confess I haven’t really listened to the words because they’d probably ruin it for me. The “This looks like a job for me” part really sticks in my head and I usually end up singing it all day if there’s no one else around. Heh.
LOL, vogue, I’m the same way. I’m this tempted to buy the album…
I just downloaded the video.
HA HA FUCKIN’ HA!!!

I love the video too, but the little thing that bugs me is when he’s in his Osama get-up dancing around, the script at the top of the screen is Devanagari (used for Hindi and a few other Indian languages). Just what the hell does Hindi have to do with Osama bin Laden? Looks like Shady needs a damn geography lesson.
- tsarina, who proves that not everything from Michigan is a complete disaster.
That’s odd; it hasn’t been bleeped when I’ve seen it on MTV.
Eminem is a genius.
Do you know what it says in Devanagari - a translation?
I think he is sending subliminal messages in his music cause…I’m ashamed to say it but…I bought his new album (when I say I mean with my step-dad’s money ;-)). Actually its pretty good . 90% of it isn’t about shock value lyrics.
I think I have a translation: Buy my album!
At least you don’t see YVAN EHT NIOJ anywhere in the video.
IIRC, Most of the censoring on MTV and is done by the record companies themselves. Most rappers cut two versions of their singles: the album version and the radio-friendly version. The changes made differ from artist to artist. This is why some video’s are almost completely edited (Papa Roach’s “Last Resort” comes to mind, in which the word “Resort” was edited out of the chorus) while others say pretty much everything.
I agree that Eminem’s claims of being “shut down” by MTV and on the radio (“Without Me” and “The Way I am”, respectively) are ludicrous. It is, however, part of the Eminem formula: Mix inane pop-culture references, paranoia, and hyper-aggressive pre-fabricated “beefs” with other pop music figures while extolling the virtues of Eminem, Slim Shady, and Marshal Mathers. I won’t deny his talent, but I won’t pretend he makes good music either.
