Eminem’s Political Influence Unmatched

The Sun reports Radio 1’s DJ Tim Westwood believes Eminem has more influence than any politician after his new album ‘Encore’ topped the UK charts after only two days of sales, which set a record. “Eminem is as important and influential as any politician — maybe more so because he has the ear of the hip-hop generation,” he said. “If you want to access today’s youth it’s through hip-hop. The people he is speaking to are the youth who wouldn’t normally vote. If he ever went into politics he would be excellent.”
