Who would have thought in the year 2000 that Eminem would be pushing for gay and transgender rights.
Good on him.

What makes you think em is "the one" fighting against racial injustice.
I hear plenty from Jay, Kendrick, and Cole that would fit the description, often.
Neighbors by J.cole is one of my favorite song Right now.
Don't expect anything from the latter 3... as they are morons...
You are embarrassing dude.
I kinda suspect Eminem's an Arrested Development (show) fan after that line, given some events in S4.
The only rapper with something to say.

"I never knew em could be like this about our own PRESIDENT"
First video is already mega salty.
Well, thank you for basically admitting that you're in here to troll.

How is that contradicting.
There are tons of bands or artists I liked as a kid but think they are crap now, especially around that age Perfect Blue mentioned.
Not wrong to think Eminem is shit, even if you agree on his views on Trump.
Ive always found his Slim Shady shit dumb too.
This is amazing.
Man, these people are something else
"It's braver to be a conservative!" ... "You can't hate neo-nazis just because you don't like their beliefs"
They are amusing, but do not deserve the hits that they are being given

I personally thought he came out strong his first three albums then he hit a slump but his last album was pretty good. I think he's definitely the best rapper alive right now. I will put Andre Benjamin second after him.

Donnie Baker is a joke character. Did you watch the video?
I think he's just calling out the fact that Em can do what he did (rant on Trump) without much fear of serious recourse either to his career or more importantly, his actual life. He's certainly not disagreeing with Em's message or attitude, but is cautioning against the desire to heap praise upon someone who didn't really take much of a risk in expressing their opinion; especially when their ability to do so is part-and-parcel with the very issue they're speaking out against.
No, he's defending black artists who haven't come out as strong as em had to.

lmao this is awesome
these people scare the fuck outta me. I can't imagine the narrative they have running in their minds all the time
Oh please. Eminem gets political for thirty seconds and everyone's acting like he hasn't sucked for two decades. Good for him for telling his trump supporting fans to fuck off, because I would imagine there's a pretty big overlap between their fanbases, but he'll be back to angrily growling 90 syllables a second about farting on Ariana Grande or whatever before you know it
Hot take.

Hush, you. I need to comment on shit I know nothing about.
And he's just been a regular chuck d ever since huh

This is delicious
Don't know why I couldn't parse that. Makes sense though.
And the moving of goalposts begins.
Does he think Fox News is gonna go easy on Eminem? I mean of course it's inherently more dangerous for a black performer to put themselves out there like that, especially a pop artist like Beyonce, but making an album like TPAB certainly didn't hurt Kendrick's career. The guy that just released The Blacker the Berry was performing on Ellen and the focus of ESPN's NBA advertising.
Even more than Eminem being white, I think he is just the right person to do this because there is nothing right wing media can say about him that they haven't before. Being attacked by the news is old hat for Eminem.

i dont listen to j.cole anymore but Kenny has taken plenty of shots at trump maybe not as hard but multiple times, and spoken a great deal on racial injustices, . as for migos/yachty/uzi, that isnt the type of stuff they talk about in their music so idk i guess its not something to expect from them

Salty white supremacist rap... is a genre I didn't know I wanted until now.
Let's be honest here, taking ambiguous shots every now and then is not the same as going straight to the roots of the issue, tackled in a fucking cypher. YG did good with FDT, but he lacks the reach, and lyrical prowess, of somebody like Eminem.

Jay has been pro Black empowerment in his music since at least 2012. Kendrick literally dropped "Black Existential Crisis: The Album", a few years ago.
In general Black people understand Trump is a symptom of a larger problem. Going after Trump, the man, isn't pressing for Black socially conscious rappers. He's low hanging fruit in the grand scheme of things since we've always had bigger fish to fry. When Trump leaves office, the institutional monsters that hold us back will still be there. White supremacy, racism etc... have been called out since rap's inception.
Oh fuck somehow I missed this reference.
