besides EMinem's 'Mosh' what else has there been? i'm especially interested in any from BLACK hip-hop acts.

and an interesting side-question if there have been none: can one assume that it's been thought about but recognised that the majority of people paying attention to and seeing the videos are mostly under voting age anyway....or should the music video medium been used more effectively by artists keen to exert some influence on the electorate (because they surely can - at least Eminem can)

if not videos then just songs/lyrics?

i can't remember that video too well - specific references? i think the trouble with Green Day is they tend to turn political protests into a jolly rock number so the message gets a bit lost/diluted.

the Beastie Boys recent videos were just them goofing around weren't they? (haven't seen them in full tho)

"the trouble with Green Day is they tend to turn political protests into a jolly rock number so the message gets a bit lost/diluted."

since when do protests have to taste like spinach to be effective?

Paris - BUSH KILLA

He's a BLACK hip-hop act. The song is about Bush's dad, but eh, it all still applies. Hott shit.

The video for American Idiot isn't very political, it looks more like the director saw the video for Street Spirit and tried to emulate it without special effects. And they had a mate with a lot of green food colouring going cheap.
