“He’s made it acceptable for the white man to feel oppressed. I’m just calling bullshit.”
With the release of his latest album Revival, it’s clear that Eminem has switched gears because Slim Shady now has a different lyrical subject in mind, Donald Trump. Of course, Marshall Mathers has never been afraid to speak his mind and as we’ve seen in recent weeks, he’s no fan of the US president.
Cast your mind back to the BET Hip-Hop Awards.
In his pre-recorded freestyle ‘The Storm,’ Eminem targeted Trump for his highly-publicised dispute with the NFL, the escalating tension in North Korea and his luxurious lifestyle.
In fact, Eminem is still livid that Trump hasn’t responded to his fiery freestyle.
Taking to his Sirius hip-hop channel Shade 45, Eminem tore apart the standing President:
“I was and still am extremely angry, and I can’t stand that motherfucker, and I feel like he’s not paying attention to me. And I was kind of waiting for him to say something … and for some reason, he didn’t say anything.”
In a recent interview with Vulture, the rapper was more than happy to discuss the rise of Trump and why he has a particular dislike for the US president.
Here are some of Eminem’s insights on Trump.
“He’s made the racists come out. He’s made it acceptable for the white man to feel oppressed. I’m just calling bullshit bullshit: I actually don’t know if I can see why people who relate to me feel like they can relate to him. This is a guy who was born rich, who says he got a small loan from his father of a million dollars. Where I come from, a small loan is five fucking bucks.”
The point when he instantly started to dislike Trump.
“I was watching it live — he had that speech where he said Mexico is sending us rapists and criminals. I got this feeling of what the fuck? From that point on, I knew it was going to be bad with him. What he’s doing putting people against each other is scary fucking shit. His election was such a disappointment to me about the state of the country.”
When asked what he hopes happens in 2018, here’s what Eminem said about Trump.
“I hope he gets impeached. I’d be there for that.”
If you’re a fan of Eminem, you’ll be pleased to know that he’s touring next year and we reckon Donald Trump’s name will definitely be mentioned.
