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.”)

Is he still rapping about raping and killing his mom, beating up his wife, or having sexual desires for young girls?

Mr. Mathers has had some pretty good things to say (I must admit), in the past. His little diatribe here? Nothing but a cyncial commercial.

There’s such a thing as “good” rap music? To use rap an music in the same sentence is insane.

Eminem and his lyrics, in the past, have been accused (rightly so, in my opinion) of misogyny and homophobia. Now all of a sudden, he’s the “hero” of the New York Times and their fellow PC travelers?

Reeks of political and career expediency.

Read this on Twitter: "Eminem, the sexist, misogynist, homophobic white male is the new face of the Democrat party 😂" The Democrats have sunk lower than a junkies morals.

Elvis had a black audience as well as a white audience in the original days but you wouldn’t know it today to hear the revisionist historians tell it.
