Brazil Photo Press/LatinContent/Getty Images  by [Melissa Chan](https://time.com/author/melissa-chan/)  ## Melissa Chan Oct 11, 2017 2:57 PM UTC Eminem [unleashed a freestyle rap](http://time.com/4977218/eminem-freestyle-trump-bet-hip-hop-awards/?iid=sr-link1) in which he attacks President Donald Trump’s leadership and calls the commander-in-chief a “racist 94-year-old grandpa.” The rapper, who was widely popular for his controversial rhymes in the early 2000s, lashed out at Trump in a roughly four-minute pre-recorded [rap clip](https://twitter.com/BET/status/917918947017666561) revealed during Tuesday night’s BET Hip Hop Awards. In the expletive-laced freestyle, which has no music track, Eminem takes aim at Trump for many issues, including how the President is handling nuclear tensions with North Korea and disaster aid for the storm-battered Puerto Rico. Eminem, who has previously been vocal about disliking Trump, also defends athletes who have been protesting the President and disavows his fans who support Trump. > [](https://twitter.com/BET/status/917918947017666561) Here are the most powerful four lines from Eminem’s freestyle: ## “What we got in office now is a kamikaze” Eminem accused Trump of cowardice, saying the President would start a nuclear war and then fly around in a plane to avoid any personal danger. “What we got in office now is a kamikaze that’ll probably cause a nuclear holocaust and while the drama pops, and he waits for s–t to quiet down, he’ll just gas his plane up and fly around ‘til the bombing stops,” Eminem said. The line is likely in reference to mounting tensions, and a recent exchange of insults, between Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. ## “All these horrible tragedies and he’s bored” Eminem slammed Trump for tweeting about his anger over NFL players kneeling during the national anthem while there are more pressing national matters to tackle. “But this is his form of distraction, plus he gets an enormous reaction 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,” the rapper said. ## “This is for Colin” In the clip, Eminem raises his closed fist and states his support for former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick, who remains unemployed after starting the NFL kneeling movement. Eminem says: “This is for Colin. Ball up a fist and keep that s–t balled like Donald the b–ch.” ## “The rest of America, stand up.” Eminem ends his freestyle by cursing and sticking up his middle finger to his fans who support Trump. “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 it for you with this. F— you,” Eminem says. “The rest of America, stand up. We love our military and we love our country, but we f—— hate Trump.” ## Transcript [ MUSIC ] If the Trump administration were a movie, it would be rated R for language. Political ****. Many politicians curse, but only rarely in public. But Donald Trump has taken the practice to new heights, regularly using vulgar language in televised rallies. They're ripping the **** out of the sea. Most recently, he insulted professional athletes like Colin Kaepernick Who take a knee during the national anthem. Get that son of a **** off the field right now. Out! He's fired! Trump used to be even more profane, using a particularly vulgar term in 2006 to criticize then Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. I wish she was a [ BLEEP ]. I don't care if she's a lovely woman. One notorious speech in 2011 was laced with f- bombs about China and other subjects. You're not gonna raise that ****' price, you understand me. Listen you **** we're gonna tax you 25 %. Trump's use of profanity can be strategic. One study found that people thought legal testimony was more credible when it included swear words. And another study in Italy found that they had more favorable impressions of political candidates who cursed [ MUSIC ] Swearing plays into Trump's self- image as a truth teller, unafraid of being politically incorrect. Our country is going to hell. I don't give a damn if it doesn't work for me. He's also used it for emphasis to show that while everyone else promises to say fight terrorists, he'll be tougher. I would bomb the **** out of them. [ APPLAUSE ]. Trump also uses curse words to belittle and denigrate his opponents, as he did while running against Texas Senator Ted Cruz in the Republican primary. She just said a terrible thing. You know what she said? Shout it out. Cause, I don't want to. [ LAUGH ]. She said I never expect to hear that from you again. She said he's a ****. That's terrible. Terrible! Trump's public use of cursing has started to catch on, especially among Democrats. Not that damned wall! But there's a paradox. While Trump's public use of swear words has helped him, his most famous private cursing in the Access Hollywood video got him in trouble. He even issued a rare apology. I moved on her like a ****. I couldnt' get there and she was married. And when you're a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. Whatever you want. Grab by the [ BLEEP ]. Swearing works because it's the kind of thing you're not supposed to say in public. When Trump swears, he's signalling to his audience that he's talking the same way that he would in private, a classical rhetorical move from a populus who criticizes career politicians [ MUSIC ] But even for Trump, who's willing to say quite a lot of things publicly that other people wouldn't there are some conversations that aren't meant to be public. This was locker room talk. I'm not proud of it. I apologize to my family. I apologize to the American people. Certainly, I'm not proud of it, but this is locker room talk [ UNKNOWN ] [ MUSIC ] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4977535/eminem-trump-freestyle-rap-lyrics/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4977535/eminem-trump-freestyle-rap-lyrics/"},"headline":"‘This Racist 94-Year-Old Grandpa.’ The 4 Biggest Disses in Eminem’s Trump Rap","datePublished":"2017-10-11T14:57:22.000Z","dateModified":"2026-08-04T07:49:08.152Z","description":"He also had some harsh words for his fans who support Trump","url":"https://time.com/4977535/eminem-trump-freestyle-rap-lyrics/","keywords":["celebrities","Music","Donald Trump","onetime"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltd9ea5d76dcdea532/6988e16e096a94295769ff32/eminem-lollapallooza.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Melissa Chan","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/melissa-chan/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltd9ea5d76dcdea532/6988e16e096a94295769ff32/eminem-lollapallooza.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"2016 Lollapalooza Brazil - Day 1","caption":"2016 Lollapalooza Brazil - Day 1","creditText":"Brazil Photo Press/LatinContent/Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/celebrities/","name":"celebrities"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4977535/eminem-trump-freestyle-rap-lyrics/","name":"‘This Racist 94-Year-Old Grandpa.’ The 4 Biggest Disses in Eminem’s Trump Rap"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Donald Trump Keeps Cursing.
