Being a fan of Eminem's music I do feel I have a bias towards this freestyle and the message behind it. But do I think that the message deep down in the facts is right? Yes I do, because he is wanting people to have their own voice and not be afraid of a man that only wants personal gain. I will end this with Eminem's final state from the freestyle making sure everyone gets his message loud and clear "The rest of America, stand up
We love our military, and we love our country
But we f—ing hate Trump!" (Eric Renner Brown,2017)

During the freestyle, I do feel that Eminem comes across as very aggressive and yes I understand that he is being very emotional about the topic. But, some many feel that he is using his media platform and popularity to sway a generation to side against the government. Because many people wouldn't understand that Eminem is targeting Trump and his personal agenda and they would just riot against the government. The young generation is so easily swayed and they don't look at the facts in the freestyle that Eminem states and go directly towards a revolution stand point.

This was probably the biggest part of the freestyle to me as a fan of Eminem's music. Because as a musician your fan's are everything, without them you have nothing no following, no legacy. So when Eminem states in the freestyle " 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:
F— you!" (Eric Renner Brown,2017) now you may ask why is this the biggest part of the freestyle? Well, in those lines Eminem is stating that you shouldn't have to really think about who side you should be on with this situation. And if you do then I personally don't want you as a fan if you are willing to support a man who uses fear and paranoia to get what he wants.

During his political campaign Trump spoke of this great wall he was going to build to keep all of the illegal immigrants out of the United States. Even going as far as saying that " He is going to build this wall and he's going to make Mexico pay for it's constructing". Eminem speaks about this wall in a very sarcastic tone at this point doing a "hillbilly" voice to accompany it stating "He's going to get rid of all them immigrants, He's gonna build that thang taller than this" (Eric Renner Brown,2017). But what really caught my attention is when he states this "Well, if he does build it, I hope it’s rock solid with bricks
‘Cause like him in politics, I’m using all of his tricks" (Eric Renner Brown,2017). This I actually compared to the Berlin wall, that split Berlin,Germany from 1961-1989. Dividing Germany after the horrific WW2, but was destroyed in 1989.

Further on in the message, Eminem brings up Trump's backwards agenda. He states in the freestyle "When he attacks the NFL so we focus on that
Instead of talking Puerto Rico or gun reform for Nevada
All these horrible tragedies and he’s bored and would rather
Cause a Twitter storm with the Packers" (Eric Renner Brown,2017). This is speaking about the situation that happened on September 28th/2018, when two NFL teams decided to link arms in protest of Trump's agenda and plans. The backlash was Trump getting onto twitter (social media platform) and attacking them. Trump's supports even joined in on the messages going as far as death threats towards the players. But he can't take two seconds out of his day to address the gun laws in Las Vegas Nevada where 58 people were killed and leaving 851 people injured (New York Time,2017). Or speaking about his administration going after Puerto Rico stating that "They are fine and don't need more money in aid" when just this past year they were devastated by a hurricane Maria (Luke Darby,2018).

Donald Trump speaking on fear and immigration

# data[].attributes.body
I believe in this freestyle Eminem's main message was for people to open their eyes and see the underlying plan of not bringing everyone together but separating. Eminem even states that "That's why he wants us to disband, 'cause he cannot withstand, the fact that were not afraid of Trump" (Eric Renner Brown,2017. Because during Trump's campaign he used fear as a tool to get everyone to turn on immigrants. As well as using little things in the media to redirect people's attention away from the main issues of the world.

Eminem has had many views politically in the United States, with such songs as "White America" and "Square Dance". This trend has continued to grow in his career and speaking about serious situations in the media. For example in the song "The Way I am" Eminem speaks about the Columbine shooting saying"When a dude's getting bullied and shoots up his school and they blame it on Marilyn". This was speaking of the mass media attacking the musician Marilyn Manson blaming him for the mass shooting at the Columbine high school. So this recent jab at president Trump was something new for the artist because he addressed it directly to him.

Marshall Mathers or more commonly know as Eminem, is known as one of the greatest things to happen to the genre of hip hop. He is a 15x grammy winner. He is also the best-selling artist of the 2000's. I decided to chose Eminem's freestyle directed at presidential candidate Donald Trump during the presidential campaign of 2017. Mainly because the freestyle focuses on the social and political injustices during Trump's campaign.
