Eminem Gun Control Music Video Urges Viewers to Change Gun Laws and Register to Vote
Breitbart ^ | 17th January 2019 | AWR HAWKINS

Posted on 01/17/2020 7:38:44 AM PST by Ennis85

Left-wing rapper Eminem released a new album on Friday, which features the song “Darkness,” which pushes hard for gun control and the song’s video encourages viewers to register to vote for candidates who will subvert the Second Amendment.

The song is on the album, Music To Be Murdered By, a follow-up to his 2018 effort Kamikaze. The lyrics to “Darkness” repeatedly reference the October 1, 2017, Las Vegas mass shooting, wherein a gunman broke out windows and shot at unarmed innocents attending the Route 91 Harvest music festival.

Genius.com published lyrics to “Darkness.” Here is an excerpt:

Now I’m starin’ at the room service menu off a Benzo I can hear the music continue to crescendo I can see the whole f##kin’ venue from my window That’s when you know you’re schizo (Hello darkness, my old friend) ‘Cause I keep peekin’ out the curtain from the hotel The music is so loud But it’s almost as though I don’t hear no sound

Here is another bite:

‘Bout to snap and go motherfuckin’ wacko at any second ‘Bout to cancel the show just as fans below rush the entrance Plan is a go to wreck s##t, cameras in all directions (Hello darkness, my old friend) The press is about to go ape s##t bananas on all the networks Commando with extra clips, I got ammo for all the hecklers I’m armed to the teeth, another Valium, fall off the bed Hit the ground and crawl to the dresser Alcohol on my breath as I reach for the Scope I’m blackin’ out, I’m all out of meds With them benzodiazepines gone Now it’s just magazines sprawled out on the floor F##k the media, I’m goin’ all out, this is war

Sure would like to know the REAL story about the Las Vegas shooting.

What we’ve been told so far isn’t it.

We don’t need gun control, we need Leftist control.

For the Emenem, or whatever the hell it’s called.

You first, you filthy candy-ass pig.

Fire all your armed security.

Meanwhile, mind your own damned business!

A guy that actually has some shady (I know) people in the rap world that aren’t too keen on him, likely has actual real armed bodyguards.

But you are just on your own.

Was this not the same Eminem pictured with Rachel Chandler? Someone has his candy a$$ over a barrel.

Marshall Bruce Mathers III is this a-hole’s name.

These one name hollyweird entertainers get me sick.

Ironic coming from a rapper considering that the leading cause of death among rap “artists” appears to be gunshots from rival rappers.

Gee and to think that there were way fewer homicides committed when Marty first recorded this album.

Nobody cares any more - his 2018 CD barely sold a million worldwide.

Best mock ever on Eminem. When he first gained popularity another set of "Rap Artists" had his number and released a parody of "Slim Shady." Every time this jerks name is mentioned this song should play.

Rappers do need to be concerned about getting shot.

Yeah....because we should listen to this “singer” who has more violence in his lyrics than should be allowed.
