The 4.5-minute cypher premiered during the BET Hip Hop Awards broadcast. In the very first line, the Detroit rapper sets the tone for the rest of the tirade.
“That’s an awfully hot coffee pot/Should I drop it on Donald Trump?/ Prob’ly not, But that’s all I got ’til I come up with a solid plot.”
A moderate tempo allows audiences to hear every word as Eminem picks apart the president’s first year in office. Everything from the his Twitter habit to the Colin Kaepernick controversy gets mentioned.
