"A rare case: at the meeting in the supreme court Eminem is playing, lawyers and the judge are attentive, with serious faces listen to the song," - wrote in the "Twitter" correspondent site NZHerald. Com Francis Cook, who attended the first meeting.

The National Party's video for the first time aired in 2014. There is a musical fragment in it, in which you can catch a resemblance to the introduction to the hit Eminem.

Lawyers of the party claim that in fact in advertising to use not the song Lose Yourself, and the track Eminem-esque, which they bought in the stock library of the company Beatbox. He was also heard in the Supreme Court of New Zealand.
