Watch Eminem's new clip "Darkness" off his new album of 2020

Sometimes great surprises come all together at the same time, in addition to his new album, Eminem has just released a new clip for his new single "Darkness".

A masterpiece from Eminem's new album, "Music to be Murdered By", we might have expected the Detroit rapper to take a light tone. Instead, he decided to hit hard. "Darkness" thus takes a stand against the legislation on the carrying of weapons in the United States.

To evoke this very real problem, he adopts a new approach: do you remember Stephen Paddock? This American murderer who opened fire on the 22,000 spectators who came to attend a country music festival in Las Vegas in 2017.

Well in his new clip, Eminem puts himself in the shoes of the shooter. Beyond showing his actions explicitly, he tries to explain the reasons behind his actions. All while making the parallel with his own experience, and on a sample of "The Sound of Silence", the famous song by Simon & Garfunkel.

He then painted the portrait of a man locked in the darkness of loneliness. Filled with drugs and drugs of all kinds, the unbalanced ends up farting. From the window of his hotel room, he takes up his weapon and then undertakes his sinister task before killing himself. The mass killings in 2017 claimed the lives of 58 people and injured at least 527 people.

The video ends with a compilation of news spots, revisiting the various similar dramas that have taken place in the United States in recent years. A poignant clip which therefore sounds the alarm in the face of one of the country's many plagues: firearms. For Eminem, the solution to this problem is clear.

Contrary to what Donald Trump defends, he asserts that there is an urgent need to change the law on the carrying of weapons in the United States. To get things done, the rapper sends a message of prevention and invites the American people to take a stand in turn. "When will all this stop? When enough people care. Make your voice heard and help change the law on the carrying of weapons in the USA. "

It remains to be seen now if the words of Marshall Mathers, as powerful as it is, will make things happen. Before the current US president became his best enemy, he had already tried in 2004 with "Mosh", by signing a manifesto against President George W. Bush and his war in Iraq. His words were strong, but did not prevent the re-election of the Republican for a second term.
