Well, to be honest, it's a gimmick for a lot of those kids, too.
A lot of very, very wealthy kids trying to live a redneck style. Mudding in their lifted-up Ford pick-up in the afternoon, then back to the mansion for dinner.

Good on Em
Anyone who makes/believes this sentiment has not paid attention to hip-hop in a meaningful way since....ever.

usually what statements like that mean, but because they've heard party hip hop songs they believe they are experts on the genre.

I thought it was a little Corny when it started (as gaf is always telling me) but damn mid way through....holy shit broo
I love how he ended the verse. I can't wait for the diss tracks.

They probably just gravitate to him for his often baseless anger, use of homophobic slurs, and overly misogynistic lyrics where he fantasizes about sexual assault and violence against women. Remember, these are people who love to hide behind free speech while they say the most hateful things about others, like it gives them some kind of exemption from criticism and blow back. Always hilarious how they buckle so fast when someone spews the same anger towards them that they do to everyone else. Props to Eminem for doing this. Dude just gave the hardest middle finger to a sizeable portion of his own fan base for supporting the bigot in chief. This is probably the only thing he's done recently that's impressed me.

Why do people still post fake tweets of Trump?
He tweets enough stupid shit as it is.
Stop confusing people out here.

Em goes HAM on Trump and those on the internet that usually hate on Em, show love for the anti-right message. Then there are those on social media that claim they are now anti Eminem. Both stances seem disingenuous imo. But what do we expect in 2017?
Eminem has fallen off in recent years, which pisses me off because his schemes and delivery have been underrated for many years now. All it takes is anti Trump speech for some to respect him, while others are now hating for rediculous reasons. If this is what it takes for the man to get the exposure he deserves, then whatever. But hes been rapping and writing circles around mainstream hip hop for too long. Now hes better at current events shit than the rappers that are poppin. Thanks Trump???
Cole, Kendrick, Jay or somebody should have come this hard at Trump by now. Why is Eminem the one fighting against the racial injustices in the U.S. among hip hop artists? Migos, Yatchy, Uzi??? Anyone???

i was about to post this exact same thing, people will totally believe its real.

huh i always thought em is blond
TBH they never stopped. It's business as usual.
Great example of white people not actually paying attention until a fellow white person does/says something. Systematic racism at its worst.
Kendrick put this out early in the year.
Donald Trump is a chump

Em has given us 15 minutes of bars damn near between this cypher and campaign speech, while Kendrick has given us 5 bars. Kendrick is great at what he does, and Im thankful for it. I just feel like eminem, a rapper that is under appreciated by the community, is doing more for the cause than 99.99% of the rap community.
If anything, I hope this gives other mcs the courage to speak their minds as well. We need all the help we can get.

Good verse. Flow was choppy, but at least Ems verse was about something substantial
He called Trump a bitch earlier this year on Big Seans album as well

Some people feel the need to hide away from reality as much as possible. It's easier that way. (Until reality directly impacts them.)

Eminem? Exposure?? The dude has sold 170 million albums worldwide and is one of the most successful musicians to walk the Earth. I think he may have sold more hip hops albums than anyone else. Very few artists really outlive their era, the fact that people are still even paying attention to him at all is actually incredible, and a testament to his talent.
Also many people are capable of separating the artist from their work. It's not inconsistent at all to dismiss Eminem's older work for your own reasons, be it the content of his lyrics, or personal tastes - while accepting a message that you yourself said, isn't being addressed enough. After all... if anyone is going to deliver this message, and if anyone is going to pay attention, Eminem is one of the best to do it. Not just because people still actually pay attention to him, but because he's one of the very few who are willing to throw his own fans under the bus if they disagree with him. That's still admirable - at least when it comes to standing for something you believe is right.
Eminem is probably the only American more impervious to bad press than Donald Trump.

Wait, I'm supposed to be upset that a White person has to do more to be considered equal?

Was looking at the replies and I see Trump supporters are already bringing up that old song about black girls. They go from defending him to using it as ammo against him, haha.
