How is that "sucking up"? He is acknowledging that he likes the message, song and video, despite their differences in the past. To me, that takes a big man.

I just think it's better for moby to keep quiet about Eminem, especially when it comes to his music. The only reason moby likes him now is because Em disses George W. Before, moby has stated numerous times that he detests everything Eminem stands for and that he will always do so. Now that Eminem jumps on the 'dissing Bush'-bandwagon, Eminem is suddenly cool?

BTW, I am not american and I don't like Bush or Eminem, but I really hate moby....I swear, if would run in to him on the street, I wonder whether I can control my fist.....

Okay, but I guess I see where Moby is coming from on this one. I fucking HATE Eminem's "music" and his homophobic, mysoginist lyrics. Now, with this song, Em's actually saying something worthwhile. The music still sucks, but at least there is a message to it beyond "its cool to kill your wife". Moby is giving credit where its due. Doesn't mean he has to like everything else that Em does (I thought the MJ spoof was just dumb. An obvious attempt to be "controversial" by an act whose 15 minutes are almost up). He agrees with the message, so he backs it. Don't see how that's "sucking up".

Besides, I know which one of the two is a better sport about themselves. Did you see the MTV awards where Triumph The Insult Dog was ragging on them both? Moby laughed his ass off everytime Triumph dissed him, while Em acted like a pissy little bitch. He can dish it out, but he can't take it.
