Employing their top-class editing skills, Cassetteboy makes David Cameron’s perform a scathing version of Eminem’s Lose Yourself.

This has been a big week for comedy duo Cassetteboy. They are liberal users of copyrighted content in thier work but this week the law in the UK chnaged, allowing pieces of coyrighted material to be freely available for use in parodies.

And, just days after the new law came into force, Cassetteboy give it David Cameron with both barrels.

Using three or four of Cameron’s speeches and splicing them together into a version of Eminem’s Lose Yourself, it is utterly scathing satire on how Cassetteboy perceive the Tories are running the UK, from inequality to the NHS. It’s simply superb. Be warned, it gets a little sweary so make sure you have your headphones in if you’re in polite company.

Wonder would Cassetteboy ever have a go at Enda for us…
