Moby: Eminem has "blood on his hands"

Moby has said Eminem "should be ashamed" of creating a misogynistic, homophobic culture.

His comments come after an impersonator of Eminem, whose music is often perceived as sexist and homophobic, was recently convicted for killing a woman.

Moby said in a statement on his website: "If a musician made a record wherein he talked about killing blacks and Jews would he get covered in the press and played on radio and MTV? If the answer is 'no' (as it should be), then why is radio and MTV filled with music that has lyrics about killing and brutalising women and gays?"

He continued: "Any employee of a record company or journalist or radio programmer or MTV employee who has promoted and celebrated misogynistic or homophobic music should be ashamed.

"You have blood on your hands, and you should be deeply, deeply troubled at the culture that you've helped to create."
