Will Trump Respond To Eminem Diss? Twitter Waits
Eminem made an appearance during this year’s BET Hip-Hop Awards on Tuesday and performed a new freestyle as a part of the show’s long-running Cypher series.
His entire freestyle ripped apart President Donald Trump as he opened the four-minute deluge with a reference to Trump’s disturbing "calm before the storm" quip then went on to slam the president over immigration, corruption, white supremacy, the NFL, gun control, environmental disasters and more.
Eminem was seen in a taped segment, apparently filmed Friday in a downtown Detroit parking garage, the rapper described the president as "a kamikaze that'll probably cause a nuclear holocaust," according to the Detroit Free Press.
Soon after the video was put up on social media, Twitter users were quick enough to react to it with memes and waited for the president to reply the rapper's ferocious freestyle dissing him.
Eminem packed his freestyle rap with his skilled internal rhyme schemes like, "But we better give Obama props/ Cause what we've got in office now's/ A kamikaze that'll probably cause a nuclear holocaust."
Eminem was seen flanked by a crew in the taped segment that included Detroiters Royce da 5'9" and Kid Vishis who watched as the rapper proceeded with his lyrical tirade against the president with pointed punch lines like: "Plus he gets an enormous reaction/ When he attacks the NFL so we focus on that and/ Instead of talking Puerto Rico or gun reform for Nevada/ All these horrible tragedies and he's bored or would rather/ Cause a Twitter storm with the Packers."
Eminem also declared himself a supporter of football star Colin Kaepernick, whose recent national anthem protests created an outrage and spread across NFL, also has drawn severe criticism from Trump on Twitter. The rapper referred to this and called Trump's reactions a distraction from hurricane-battered Puerto Rico and other issues.
Kaepernick replied to Eminem's freestyle saying he appreciates him.
At one point in the segment, he took on Trump's vow to "lower our taxes," and rhyme:
"Then who's gonna pay for his extravagant trips back and forth with his family / His golf resorts and mansions / Same s--- that he tormented Hillary for and he slandered / Then does it more 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."
Towards the end of the segment, he also sent a message to Trump supporters saying: "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: f--k you."
The new verse that Eminem came up with on Tuesday will likely only fuel the rumors and confirmations of a forthcoming Eminem album, probably scheduled to drop in around November. As noticed earlier, the rapper usually makes an appearance at the Hip-Hop Awards when he probably has an album up his sleeve or has recently released one, according to Uproxx, an American digital media company that covers entertainment and culture.
