Eminem Lashes Out at Trump With Freestyle Rap Video

[DemocratSinceBirth]

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. In it, 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. He appears to reference 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.”)

RACISM IS THE ONLY THING HE'S FANTASTIC FOR

1. The line to his Trump- supporting fans is the best

"And any fan of mine who's a supporter of his, I'm drawing in the sand a line, you're either for or against, and if you can't decide who you like more and you're split on who you should stand beside, I'll do it for you with this. Fuck you," he said toward the end, raising his middle finger.

2. I hope this song spreads like wild fire today

(but that the real wild fires stop!!)

This is a very powerful song! I hope even those who may say "I don't like this type of music" will take a listen. Eminem hits it out of the park.
This will be my national anthem for the time being, until this idiot is out of office and we are back to fixing the things he has destroyed.

3. I hope Nugent Or Kid Rock comes to Trump's defense so Em can do an epic diss song on them.

4. All in with Slim...

That's the anger we all should be showing. Each and every American has been massively disrespected by that Dotard.
Part of the Detroit v. Everybody makeup.

but I don't remember who it was.

8. WAR-ange comes the closest

And is the most fitting.

15. OT, but Barenaked Ladies did it 3 times in one song

Oh Flip, The light is turning Orange
Coat ripped, when I caught it in the door hinge
I slipped when the lady in the 4 inch
Bought it in a store in G(ermany).

From "4 seconds"

9. Oh it's trending all right.

Can we start a campaign to have him do Super Bowl halftime?

13. Now that would be something!

10. transcription of the words

This the calm before the storm right here
Wait, how was I gonna start this off? I forgot
Oh, yeah
That's an awfully hot coffee pot
Should I drop it on Donald Trump? Probably not
But that's all I got 'til I come up with a solid plot
Got a plan, and now I gotta hatch it
Like a damn Apache with a tomahawk
I'ma walk inside a mosque on Ramadan
And say a prayer that every time Donald talks
She gets a mop--ahh, I'ma stop
But we better give Obama props
'Cause what we got in office now's a kamikaze
That'll probably cause a nuclear holocaust
And while the drama pops and he waits for shit to quiet down
He'll just gas his plane up and fly around 'til the bombing stops
Intensities heightened, tensions are rising
Trump, when it comes to giving a shit, you're stingy as I am
Except when it comes to having the balls to go against me, you hide 'em
'Cause you don't got the fucking nuts like an empty asylum
Racism's the only thing he's fantastic for
'Cause that's how he gets his fucking rocks off and he's orange
Yeah, sick tan, that's why he wants us to disband
'Cause he can not withstand
The fact we're not afraid of Trump
Fuck walkin' on egg shells, I came to stomp
That's why he keeps screamin', "Drain the swamp"
'Cause he's in quicksand
It's like we take a step forwards, then backwards
But this is his form of distraction
Plus, he gets an enormous reaction
When he attacks the NFL so we focus on that
Instead of talking Puerto Rico or gun reform for Nevada
All these horrible tragedies and he's bored and would rather
Cause a Twitter storm with the Packers
Then says he wants to lower our taxes
Then who's gonna pay for his extravagant trips
Back and forth with his fam to his golf resorts and his mansions?
Same shit that he tormented Hillary for and he slandered
Then does it more
From his endorsement of Bannon
Support from the Klansmen
Tiki torches in hand for the soldier that's black
And comes home from Iraq
And is still told to go back to Africa
Fork and a dagger in this racist 94-year-old grandpa
Who keeps ignoring our past historical, deplorable factors
Now, if you're a black athlete
You're a spoiled little brat for tryna use your platform or your stature
To try to give those a voice who don't have one
He says, "You're spittin' in the face of vets who fought for us, you bastards"
Unless you're a POW who's tortured and battered
'Cause to him, you're zeros
'Cause he don't like his war heroes captured
That's not disrespecting the military
Fuck that, this is for Colin, ball up a fist
And keep that shit balled like Donald the bitch
"He's gonna get rid of all immigrants"
"He's gonna build that thing up taller than this"
Well, if he does build it, I hope it's rock solid with bricks
'Cause like him in politics, I'm using all of his tricks
'Cause I'm throwing that piece of shit against the wall 'til it sticks
And any fan of mine who's a supporter of his
I'm drawing, in the sand, a line
You're either for or against
And if you can't decide who you like more and you're split
On who you should stand beside
I'll do it for you with this:
Fuck you!
The rest of America stand up
We love our military, and we love our country
But we fucking hate Trump

11. Ellen's producer just won the internet with this tweet

on phone so will quote it

"Not sure how rap battles work but I am pretty sure Eminem is now President of the United States. "

12. This is fantastic. It's nice to see him punching up, instead of punching down.
