Eminem just released a music video for his song "Darkness" that recreates the 2017 mass shooting at the Route 91 Harvest Festival.
The lyrics of the song include, "I'm a licensed gun owner with no prior convictions. If you'd like to know the reason why I did this, you'll never find a motive."
The music video depicts the festival shooting from the gun man's perspective in his hotel room, as police close in outside.
The rapper claims the video is a call for gun control, ending with news reports on mass shootings and text across the screen that reads, “when will this end? When enough people care." It features a link to register to vote and help change gun laws in America. However, some in the community that was effected by this tragedy, see the depiction as insensitive.
