Barack Obama raps Eminem lyrics on stage with star – and trolls Trump’s crowd size

Barack Obama broke out into rap after being introduced by Eminem at a Harris rally in Detroit.
The rapper spoke briefly to urge his fellow Michigans to vote on November 5, before introducing Obama onto the stage.
Eminem, 52, told the cheering crowds: “I don’t think anyone wants an America where people are worried about retribution of what people will do if you make your opinion known. I think Vice President Harris supports a future for this country where these freedoms and many others will be protected and upheld.”
The 44th president then opened his speech by rapping the lyrics of Eminem’s hit song Lose Yourself: “His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy. There’s vomit on his sweater already, mom’s spaghetti. He’s nervous, but on the surface, he looks calm and ready.”
Obama then poked fun at Trump’s rally in Detroit last week, saying: “There was another rally here on Thursday but I hear it was a little smaller.”
Eminem joins the campaign trail just two weeks ahead of Election Day. However, fans of the Slim Shady rapper were dismayed when it was revealed he wouldn’t be performing at the rally.
Polls currently show Michigan to be neck-and-neck between Harris and Trump, so Democrats hope Eminem’s presence will be a huge boost in their mission to keep the state blue.
Eminem has long supported Harris. He even endorsed the Biden-Harris campaign in a black-and-white ad with hit track Lose Yourself playing in the background for the 2020 election.

Obama is an outspoken fan of Eminem as well. Lose Yourself was one of the main hype songs from his own presidential campaign in 2008.
After Eminem’s appearance at the rally was announced, voters and Eminem fans took social media to express their delight, with one writing: “Will by tuning in to see Barry O and Eminem.”
“Eminem hates Trump more than anyone, this makes sense,” another wrote to X, with a third saying, “That’s awesome! Glad to know he’s on the right side of history.”
Other voters were disappointed as they wrote: “Ugh nooo eminem!!” “What a disgrace to humanity. Eminem too,” said a second critic.
Among his many attacks on the former president, the rapper has accused Trump of “brainwashing” his supporters and of being a “racist.”
In his pre-taped acceptance speech at the 2017 BET Hip Hop Awards, which has now gone viral, Eminem slammed Trump with some scathing remarks.
“I will say this, he talks a good one,” he said. “And if you’re in his base… let’s say you’re going to the rallies or whatever, you watch him on TV, you hear him talking this s—, there’s part of me that understands, like, alright, he’s somehow still got them because he’s brainwashing them into thinking that something great is going to happen.
“Nothing’s happening. Nothing is happening. I don’t know, man. I get really flustered when I talk about it.”
Once Trump was in the White House, Eminem didn’t stop his criticism.
In a December 2017 interview with New York Magazine’s Vulture, Eminem said of the then-President: “He makes my blood boil. I can’t even watch the news anymore because it makes me too stressed out.
“All jokes aside, all punch lines aside, I’m trying to get a message out there about him. I want our country to be great too, I want it to be the best it can be, but it’s not going to be that with him in charge.”
However, before the 2004 presidential election, Trump appeared on the Eminem concert special The Shady National Convention, which aired on MTV.
“I know a winner when I see one,” Trump said, endorsing the rapper’s alter-ego, Slim Shady. “Donald Trump is telling you right now Slim Shady is a winner. He’s got brains, he’s got guts and he’s got Donald Trump’s vote.”
