Eminem On SNL

I have been very critical of modern music the past year or so for not being as socially critical as it could be, especially hip-hop music. Well, and I never thought I'd say this, but tonight Eminem stepped up to the political plate and hit one out of the park.
Tonight on Saturday Night Live, Eminem just wiped the floor with Bush. I had heard a lot about his song, "Mosh", but I had no idea it would be so effective. I was really very moved. Eminem is truly the real thing. Asontishing! I had chills. He really hit every note right and hit it hard.
Thank you, Eminem for giving hip-hop some real credibility. Tonight was the first night I really felt like hip-hop was culturally significant. Again, Astonishing.
