He used his platform to raise awareness and to remind people that you sometimes have to mix politics with what you love to get people to listen. He goes on to talk about Trump focusing more on the issues of the NFL instead of on the hurricane relief and even states “We love America, but we f****** hate Trump.” While multitudes of Americans are turning a blind eye to the reality of our country, Eminem’s rap brings the attention back to the issues that are not being addressed in a creative and shocking way. One of these individuals is the president of the United States, who also called white supremacists “very fine people.” In Eminem’s freestyle, he not only addresses this issue but he also supports Kaepernick by holding up his fist. Individuals have bashed Colin Kaepernick, former San Francisco 49er quarterback, for kneeling while the national anthem plays during football games and have changed the narrative to be one of “disrespecting the country” instead of standing up for the endless racism and police brutality that happens daily. This is also why I view Eminem’s freestyle as important and even essential in the time period that we are in. This is no surprise, as politics tend to get people worked up which results in the subject wanting to be avoided as a whole. This of course sparked a lot of conflict between American people, especially those who felt uneasy about mixing politics with any other form of art or subject.

Eminem did not hesitate to speak on his stance and feelings on Trump and urged those who were fans of him to pick or choose between supporting Trump or him. Eminem, best known for being one of the top American rappers and producers, debuted this year with a solo cypher that brought up an issue that has been controversial for months: Donald Trump’s presidency. Like every other BET Hip Hop Awards, the Cypher was shown this year to give rappers a chance to showcase their raw talent.
