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.”)

“White guy pretending to be a black guy..he mocks blacks by pretending to be one..he is disgusting”
The term is wigger
yea because trump is the reason detroit is a toilet bowl. why doesn’t this old dumbass try going after the liberals who destroyed his hometown for the last 50+ years.
I presume that Marshall is holding up the Democratic enclave of Detroit as an example of the country as he wants it to be.
Never could stand this guy. My daughter went through a phase of listening to that crappy rap music in her teens. Eminem sounded horrible, nasty and grating voice imo, and sang, I mean “rapped” about weird, depressing things as well. Hasn’t grown up yet?
Some of the Beastie boys songs were catchy/funny back in the day.
The censors kept TV decent, but a lot of times they went overboard.
And OTHER times...well things like that get through! And our lives are a little bit more FUN because of it! LOL!
Love a president who fights back.
Tweet on mr..prez!!
