AceShowbiz - It seems Eminem has something to say to Donald Trump. On a four-and-a-half minute video that was revealed at 2017 BET Hip Hop Awards on Tuesday, October 10, the rapper slammed the U.S president with a freestyle rap. From Trump's fight with North Korea to the NFL feud, Eminem did not hold back.
He starts his performance off by rapping, "This the calm before the storm right here." This line refers to Trump's statement during a meeting with military officials at the White House on Thursday, October 5. Trump told reporters, "You guys know what this represents? Maybe it's the calm before the storm."
The Detroit rapper also mentions Trump's contentious remarks toward Islam and Muslims. "I'mma walk inside a mosque on Ramadan/ And say a prayer that every time Melania talks/ She gets a mop--ah I'mma stop," he raps.
The diss doesn't end there. "But we better give Obama props/ 'Cause what we got in office now is a kamikaze/ That will probably cause a nuclear holocaust," he continues. In this line, Eminem refers to Trump's fight with North Korea, in which the president wrote on his Twitter account to point out to his conflict, "Sorry, but only one thing will work!"
...hasn't worked, agreements violated before the ink was dry, makings fools of U.S. negotiators. Sorry, but only one thing will work!

If you notice, Eminem is surrounded by black men on the video. He says, "Racism's the only thing he's fantastic for/ 'Cause that's how he gets his f***ing rocks off and he's orange."
The rapper even touches on Trump's threat to NFL. "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 Twitter storm with the Packers/ then says he wants to lower our taxes," he raps.
He continues, "Now, if you're a black athlete/ You're a spoiled little brat for tryna use your platform of your stature/ To try to give those a voice who don't have one," referring to black athletes who brutally protested police during sport events.
The "8 Mile" star also calls out Colin Kaepernick, who began the protest, in his line, "F**k that, this is for Collin, ball up fist/ and keep that shit balled like Donald the b***h."
He ends his performance by saying, "The rest of America stand up/ We love our military and we love our country/ But we f***ing hate Trump!"
