Patiently Waiting
I really wish Eminem had released Encore a month ago. Haven't heard it yet, of course. But, if Mosh is at all an indication of its content, its best before date is, er, next Tuesday (assuming Bush wins - meaning maybe Em needs to reconsider his vote).

Anyway. The new video:
Windows and Real Media links at HipHopDotCom
Quicktime links at Guerilla News Network

Initial thoughts:
Great video. Average (at best) single. Maybe it's a grower. Man, I hope it's a grower. Would be wonderful to think Eminem might be able to inspire the sort of revolt-by-vote of which he speaks, but I'm far too cynical at the moment.
