Eminem went off on Donald Trump in his latest freestyle at the 2017 BET Hip Hop Awards. It was filmed in Detroit and framed around Trump’s actions towards different social issues.
He started the rap by saying “it’s the calm before the storm right here,” alluding to Trump’s comments last week about how we are seeing “the calm before the storm.”
“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 or these horrible tragedies, and he’s bored and would rather cause a Twitter storm with the Packers,” Eminem rapped.
He also criticized Trump’s (ironic) NFL protest, his “endorsement of Bannon,” “his support for Klansman,” and his “extravagant trips back-and-forth with his fam to his golf resorts and his mansions.”
Em raised his fist in support of Colin Kaepernick and said “Now if you’re a black athlete, you’re a spoiled little brat for trying to use your platform and your stature to try to give those a voice who don’t have one. He says you’re spitting in the face of the vets who fought for us… Unless you’re a POW, whose tortured and battered, ’cause to him you’re zeroes ’cause he don’t like his war heroes captured. That’s not disrespecting the military.”
He’s still got it!
Stay tuned for Eminem’s new album which might feature Dr. Dre.
