Moby Respects Eminem

Moby recently stated that he had a newfound respect for Eminem because Eminem criticized President Bush in his song "Mosh" last year.

"I found myself respecting him for doing that," Moby told reporters during a promotional stop in Hong Kong for his latest album Hotel.

Moby and Eminem have a longstanding feud. Moby has criticized Eminem's lyrics as misogynistic. Eminem lashed out at Moby and electronic music in Without Me and spoofed him in the song's video. He called Moby a girl at the 2002 MTV Video Music Awards.

"Honestly, if he retired, I think the world of music would be a poorer place. He's a really fascinating public figure," Moby said.

Moby then went on to say that when Eminem was mocking him in his video ("Without Me") and whatever, it was the best publicity he's (Moby) has ever gotten. All I have to say is, WHO CARES WHAT MOBY HAS TO SAY?!!!
