Rappers against Bush

I've been wondering where the war protest songs of today were. I absolutely do not listen to rap - it just doesn't "get" me (or maybe I just don't get it). Anyway, of all people, Juan Cole has been analyzing Eminem's new anti-Bush-Iraq-war song. Check it out (post one - post two), and get this:

Eminem knows about packing heat, and was accused of pistol-whipping a rival from the rap group Insane Clown Posse. (Actually, this would be a good epithet for Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, Feith, Cheney and Bush).

So true. So true.

Update 10/24: Apparently, I have been missing hip-hop protest songs all along.
