Eminem Lashes Out at Trump With Freestyle Rap Video
The New York Times ^ | October 11, 2017 | Des Shoe and Joe Coscarelli

Posted on 10/11/2017 6:29:32 PM PDT by GuavaCheesePuff

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.”)

“He’s made some good rap music in the past...”

Good music and rap do not belong in the same sentence.

“...but he has gone crazy”

He’s been a nut for as long as I can remember.

On a BET Awards Show? Seriously?






If I were a Black Entertainer, I would be somewhat perturbed by this.

It’s interesting, if there are multiple worms they scatter like a sun burst.

Interestingly - it appears President Trump was once on Eminem’s payroll...

Might be why the Prez hasn’t commented on this one...

Hardly “free style” if its taken him all year to produce it.

BESIDES, the words Rap and music do not belong in the same sentance.
