Eminem has a few things he would like to say to Donald Trump.
At last night’s BET Hip Hop Awards, the rapper made a surprise appearance in a pre-taped freestyle cypher that made it clear he"s been paying VERY close attention to the Trump administration.
And he has a few critiques.
For instance:
“We better give Obama props ’cause what we got in office now is a kamikaze that’ll probably cause a nuclear holocaust," Eminem says in reference to Trump"s insane responses to North Korea of late.
What about the fact that Trump hired known white supremacist Steve Bannon as a strategist?
And that he basically defended neo-Nazis after their protest in Charlottesville this summer?
“From his endorsement of Bannon, support for 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."
Of late, meanwhile, Trump has been attempting to please his base by slamming athletes who do not stand for the national anthem.
And Eminem has thoughts on this ridiculousness as well.
“Now, if you’re a black athlete, you’re a spoiled little brat for/Trying to use your platform or your stature to try to give those a voice who don’t have one…
"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 Twitterstorm with the Packers.”
Practically out of breath, Eminem pauses to say the following:
“This is for Colin/Ball up a fist."
At one point, Eminem also calls out his own fan base.
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.
He then raises a middle finger to the camera.
Is Eminem the first celebrity to attack Donald Trump? God no.
But he doesn"t speak out often, so his words carry an impact.
Moreover, he has a MASSIVE online following: the rapper"s official Facebook page has more than 90 million Likes and his personal Twitter account has 21.3 million followers.
