Eminem draws the red line in Hip-Hop Awards cypher

The freestyle is slow so the alt right inbreds can follow his words and understand that he doesn't fuck with them. (they probably think white america is a pro white song or something)

He's also a clinically insane person. People should probably worry about him receiving proper care instead of worrying about his political alignment.

Yeezy yeezy yeezy just jumped over the fence of a rehab clinic.
 
He looks like LSV (Magic the gathering alumni)

Just put on White America for the first time in years in honor of his shitting on Trump. Eminem was actually the musician who got me into music, so I've always had a soft spot for his stuff even if he hasn't really been good since 2003 or so.

Looking back I just realized that one of Eminem's strengths is pointing out hypocrisy and the absurdity of America's values. He used to mock Bill Clinton relentlessly back in the day:

So if I said I never did drugs/That would mean I lie and get fucked/More than the President does

Or this
And last week I seen this Schwarzenegger movie
Where he's shootin' all sorts of these motherfuckers with an Uzi
I sees three little kids up in the front row
Screaming "Go!", with their 17-year-old uncle
I'm like, guidance?!
Ain't they got the same moms and dads
Who got mad when I asked if they liked violence?

And those parts where he shits on Trump for being a hypocrite about his extravagant trips and 'disrespecting our soldiers' are some of the best parts. Granted pointing out that Trump is full of BS is not that hard but hey it is still effective I think.

time to take my meds
Man i must of watched 5 times.

I actually think with all the praise there are some underrated parts.

In the beginning it sounds like hes going to go at a woman, but stops himself. Maybe giving hint hes done with that usual rhetoric?

Then at the end he makes sure to state that we love our military. Something the right always uses against any form of protest. Same old "disrespecting the military" bs when it has nothing to do with them.

Its like that usual eminem thing he does when he kind attacks every angle so you have nothing to say.

My friend who does poetry/battle raps says this was kind of lyrically weak for eminem but I think hes somewhat missing the point. The fact eminem used this big of a platform (bet awards) and on video to go at his trump supporting fans is a HUGE statement. It speaks volumes more than just saying fuck trump on Twitter or at one of his concerts. This is going to go viral.
#1 on Youtube trending and an ocean of salt in the comments section. Beautiful, haha
Loving it.

Great point. I'm pretty sure the delivery is exactly how he wanted it and everything was deliberate for the reason you said.

He had a message and he needed for it to be CLEAR af

Anyone know why they censored it though? I'm pretty sure you're allowed to swear on youtube.

Just wait for the Trump diss track response

This dis track is great
I am rapping so great
Eminem is not great
But I am doing great
He says I'm not great
But I am very very great
Bigly, so great
I told you I was good at this
Now, frankly this is the best
Dis track ever recorded
That's what they're saying
Oh, pussy. Rhymes. Right.
I know that you're not great
Your unshaven face is not great
If you want to be great
Then vote for Trump and make America great, Eminem. ##mage

So the YouTube comment meltdown is great but after reading about all the info uncovered, I'm wondering how much are real people and how much are Russian bots. Damn Russia for ruining my enjoyment of people melting down in YouTube comment sections.

I just watched this. Holy shit it’s good. It builds slowly and by the end he’s spitting fire at Trumpy. Fuck I love Eminem.

My favorite part

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

I don't think this is necessarily hinting at any direction for the album, but it was definitely intentional here, cutting off what would typically be a woman bashing punchline to focus in on Trump.

BET channel usually edits all the cyphers

Now what's the next step in your master plan?
Its sad to say but the best art is often created in the most contentious of times and its pretty fucking contentious out in the world right now.
 
I get his aggression in this Cypher but I seriously hope he tones that down on his new album. Enough with the shouting voice, we need that calm voice and flow back.
 
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 I'm 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 mc's the courage to speak their minds as well. We need all the help we can get.

I feel like 60% of the albums I've listened in the last 3 years have had a bunch of songs about racial injustice. Joey Bada$$ and Kendrick have had albums practically dedicated to it.

And Eminem isn't underappreciated lol.
 
Will the real Slim Shady please stand up to social injustice?
