Eminem Destroys Donald Trump In BET Hip Hop Awards Cypher [WATCH]

eminem-cypher-hha

Not all heroes wear capes. That was pretty apparent last night at the 2017 BET Hip Hop Awards, where Eminem lashed out with a venomous freestyle that destroyed Donald Trump’s entire sad existence.

Over 5-minutes Eminem reminded everyone he still possesses those deadly lyrics with a politically-charged, hateful, disrespectful freestyle entirely dedicated to the excuse of a president in Donald Trump. The freestyle also urged his fans that voted for Donnie to pick a side, and made it easier by dissing them too.

“And 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: Fuck you,” he exclaimed. “The rest of America, stand up! / We love our military, and we love our country / But we fucking hate Trump!”

Em went on showing support for Colin and continuing the onslaught of Trump.

“This is his form of distraction,” he rapped. “Plus, he gets an enormous reaction / When he attacks the NFL, so we focus on that / Instead of talking about Puerto Rico or gun reform for Nevada / All these horrible tragedies, he’s bored and would rather / Cause a Twitter storm with the Packers.”

Put a fist in the air and press play below.
