Eminem - Mosh



video link

Mosh, the video was created by Dr. Dre, Mark, and written by Eminem and a few others. Mosh was made in 2004 prior to the reelection of George Bush. Eminem who is a vectorized angry character in this video tried to covey a message that would spark a fire in young people to vote; to vote bush out of office that is. Not only did i choose this video for its connotative meaning, but also for its quality in general.

When i first saw this video i was so amazed because it was a cartoon, which portrayed a rapper that i very much fancied at the time. This post is in reference to our project 3 assignment because it depicts a make-shift vectorized world. What stood out for me the most was the motion of the picture and the well done vectorized streets, houses, characters, and the night and day changes. I admire the balance between the cartoon quality while also keeping it sort of realistic.

This video spparked an interest in me because not only was this my first time seeing a video done like this by a rapper before, but because Eminem spoke the truth of how he felt about george bus, and how others felt as well. The images and the attitude of the video conveyed his message clearly, but was not well heard because George Bush was again elected as president of the U.S....which sucks. I would not change anything about this video because it is well put together; it shows the struggles of many people, and portrays George Bush as a stand-byer letting it all happen.
