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.”)

Perfectly said! The less brain cells they seem to have, the bigger the bank account.

Ed Norton worked in the sewers. In one episode of the Honeymooners, he said he was running a floating crap game in the sewer after work.

I don’t know HOW they got that past the censors back then! LOL!

I always look for insight to complex political issues from someone who failed the 9th grade 3 times and dropped out at 17.

Em, dear, you're getting a little long in the tooth for this behavior. Time to grow up and end the “angry white boy” shtick.

I miss the tan ones. The blues are attractive but they leave a tint on my tongue. Maybe if I wrote to M&M he’d bring back the tan ones. Is this on? Is this turned on?

Like anyone is supposed to give a rip (or rap) about what Enemaem says?

Lord only knows but to me it’s simply crappy poetry with some annoying beat in the background. As for white kids buying his silly junk, well he is white and sadly there are a ton of kids who, for whatever reason, like to act like they can out black the blacks.

It’s nothing more than a lame, cynical attempt to be relevant. Sorry, Mr. Em. You aren’t.

I just saw this on Fox. I am crushed...not.

And yes, there is such a thing as good rap, but I have to go back to RUN DMC to find it, amongst a very few others. RUN DMC’s stuff was fun and funny, not about violence, politics, racism, in-your-face-whatever etc.

Eminem is no RUN DMC. He’d be about as fun at a party as Colin K himself. Turd in the punchbowl fun.

Silly Eminem comes across as pathetic. He is too stupid to realize he is stupid. An insightful political commentator he is not.

M&M isn’t black, what the hell is he doing on Black Entertainment Television’s awards program?

Another social misfit with less than a high school education is now an expert on US political issues and President Trump.

This “intellectual” would slobber over Obama or Clinton (or any other corrupt, Leftist extremist).

Amazing how artistic types neglect or lack use of logical thought.
