Mosh (song)

"Mosh" is a protest song by American rapper Eminem, released in 2004 as a single from his album Encore. The song is a politically charged critique of then-President George W. Bush, particularly focusing on his administration's handling of the Iraq War.

The lyrics express disillusionment with Bush's leadership and policies, and encourage listeners to register to vote and actively participate in the democratic process. Eminem employs a forceful and aggressive delivery, using vivid imagery and metaphors to convey his message. The song calls for people from all walks of life to unite and challenge the status quo.

"Mosh" generated significant controversy upon its release due to its overt political stance and critical portrayal of the President. The music video, which features Eminem leading a group of diverse individuals to register to vote, further amplified the song's message. The video was strategically released shortly before the 2004 US Presidential election.

The song is notable for its departure from some of Eminem's earlier, more controversial subject matter, showcasing a more socially conscious and politically engaged side of the artist. While "Mosh" received mixed reviews for its musicality, it is widely recognized for its bold political commentary and its attempt to mobilize voters.
