He also made a song, "Mosh", which was rather infamous for not only denouncing the War on Terror and making several anti-War statements, but its music video also had Eminem's persona leading a mob with torches and pitchforks to storm the Capitol Building in apparent similarities to the French Revolution, as well as a sight-gag showing Dick Cheney having an apparent heart attack.
