The rapper Eminem struck out at President Trump in a video that played at the BET Hip Hop Awards on Tuesday, accusing the president of racism, hypocrisy, disrespect of military veterans and more in almost five minutes of furious freestyle rap.
He also excoriated Mr. Trump for his responses to the recent violence in Charlottesville, Va., the devastation in Puerto Rico from Hurricane Maria and the mass shooting in Las Vegas.
The video, titled “The Storm,” was filmed in Detroit as part of the BET Hip Hop Awards’ traditional cyphers, in which rappers typically aim to deliver showy verses in a group setting. In his solo appearance, Eminem, wearing a dark hooded sweatshirt and baseball cap, name-drops Colin Kaepernick (“This is for Colin/ball up a fist”), Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and Stephen K. Bannon. Throughout, he alludes to an array of Mr. Trump’s political clashes, including a reference to Senator John McCain (“Unless you’re a P.O.W. who’s tortured and battered/’cause to him you’re zeroes/’cause he don’t like his war heroes captured.”)

That SOB has an anger problem. He really needs an ass whippin.
Oh, no! Not EMINEM!!! How will I sleep tonight knowing the world’s leading intellectual light doesn’t like the president??? I was so sure he WOULD!!
Another “intellectual” on the left.
Like he gives a damn about John McCain.
He’s made some good rap music in the past, but he has gone crazy.
Eminen is so last century....
Eminem - don’t eat the brown ones...
M&M isn’t black, what the hell is he doing on Black Entertainment Television’s awards program?
That’s like a white guy winning the Miss Black America Pageant or a United Negro College Fund scholarship.
I’m all for an inclusive awards program but the network is black separatist (and racist) by it’s very identity.
Is there much blues on BET? How about rock and roll? They segregate the gospel to its own channel.
Save me a piece.
White guy pretending to be a black guy..he mocks blacks by pretending to be one..he is disgusting
Who give a rat’s a$$ ?
Why empower these douchebags by paying attention?
Heard it today. Today people make money being morons.
Good rap music?
No such thing
Millennials are the largest demographic in the country.
Um, some of it has some good meaning. Not all rap music is bad.
Enimem is just crazy with this.
When did M&M serve? What hospital did he build? What orphanage? Get back to me when he becomes someone worth even stopping to piss on when he catches on fire.
I spell rap with a “C”.
Millennials are defined by calendar dates, not birth trends or cultural demographics. It’s a convenient talking point but it incorporates Generation Y(whine) as well in their ranks.
Those who turned 18 after 2000. And on up to the kids of today. What the hell, 35 years of people? That’s not a “generation”.
Impossible. There is no such thing.
