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.
This is really one I ‘care’ about ... M&M? Trash.
Then what is rap then? Why is it music? What is it?
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.
Black asskissing mental midget
It is shit noise.
Eminem is CULTURAL APPROPRIATION!
Any white person who listens to him is a RACIST!
Any black person who listens to him is an UNCLE TOM!
Eminem concerts need to be shut down by the Hecklers’ Veto!!
Wher is ANTIFA and BLM (Black Leftist Mobs) when they’re needed??!!!
Hey m&m, I have only three words for you: biggie smalls tupac.
You sound like you’re not in the BET demographic. LOL. He’s always had a black audience.

Then why do white millennial males buy this music?
Doesn’t that qualify as “cultural appropriation”?
Just askin’?
Hey Enema!
You be a cracka, jus like da res of dem.
Beside, ya suck.
What about “cultural misappropriation”, whitey?
Will the Real Slim Shady please shut up?
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.
