Eminem Made A Rap About Donald Trump, Called ‘Campaign Speech’ [Listen]

Guess who's back, back again? It's Eminem, and like much of the watching world he's had just about enough of the Orange Menace.

Hey, remember Eminem?

Back in the day he was famous for his dissing skills, peroxided hair, and vomiting up his mother’s food on his sweater. He’s been quiet for a while, but in the wake of the mess that is America’s election he decided it was time to throw his name back into the mix.

Whilst announcing the impending release of a new album, he dropped the song you’ll hear below – Campaign Speech.

Turn on the closed captions for this one, just so you can follow what he’s saying. You’ll find that button on the left of the settings wheel:

Right, so the Daily Beast don’t seem all that impressed:

As far as we can tell, “Campaign Speech” is a diss track against the misogynistic, homophobic Trump, as well as the haters who malign Eminem for being a misogynistic homophobe…

Eminem and Donald Trump are both masters at stringing unrelated words together while sounding angry. What “Campaign Speech” lacks in a cohesive, political message, it more than makes up for with unlimited, far-reaching cultural references…

Unfortunately, “Campaign Speech” heads downhill quickly…Various cultural crimes aside, the rapper’s biggest career shortcoming is his inability to make a solid comeback. Like so many presidential candidates, Slim Shady fails to back up his “Campaign Speech” with real action. While Eminem may have initially promised to “dunk a bunch of Trump supporters underwater,” his eight-minute long tirade is mostly bitch jokes and bluster.

Now we wait for Trump to tweet out how the song is ‘stupid’ and Eminem is a nobody.
