The real Slim Shady has stood ALL THE WAY UP, and he is NOT here for Donald Trump and his shenanigans.
Eminem unloaded on the man who is unfortunately currently the President of the United States, and he held absolutely nothing back as he ripped into Mango Mussolini in a four-minute freestyle for the 2017 BET Hip-Hop Awards Cypher.
In an acapella freestyle, Em went after the Cheeto-in-Chief for his (mis)use of Twitter, escalating tensions with North Korea, supporting the Ku Klux Klan, and being the overall POS POTUS that he is. Mr. Mathers also addressed controversial topics such as the NFL protests, Puerto Rico, the border wall and more. Slim Shady also name-dropped Steve Bannon, Colin Kaepernick and others.
“But we better give Obama props, ’cause what we got in office now is a kamikaze that’ll probably cause a nuclear holocaust. And while the drama pops, and he waits for shit to quiet down, he’ll just gas his plane up and fly around until the bombing stops,” Eminem rapped. “Intensity’s heightened, tensions are rising. Trump, when it comes to giving a shit, you’re stingy as I am. Except when it comes to having the balls to go against me, you hide ’em, ’cause you don’t got the f**kin’ nuts, like an empty asylum.”
Eminem ended his freestyle with a message to his fans who are Trump supporters:
“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!”
Most of Twitter (even some celebs!) seemed to be here for Eminem’s anti-Trump freestyle, check out some of those reactions below:

Of course there were a few outliers (i.e. people who didn’t appreciate Em’s freestyle against the Overly Tanned Tyrant):

Eminem’s freestyle comes hot on the heels of rumors that the rapper is working on a new album. In fact, at the moment, rumors are swirling that the project will be released on November 17th, but that hasn’t yet been confirmed by Em or his label.
