Eminem surprised fans by dropping a new song, “Campaign Speech,” today (October 19), just days after his 44th birthday.
The track stands at just under eight minutes and features intricately intense bars that can only be delivered by Slim Shady. Over the simple looming production, he addresses Trayvon Martin’s death, Colin Kaepernick and says that yes, he’s going to dunk some Donald Trump supporters under water, “snuck up on ’em in Ray Bands / In a gray van with a spray tan / It’s a wrap like an Ace bandage.”
Eminem says that this is an appetizer for a new album, which would be the follow-up to 2013’s The Marshall Mathers LP 2. Since then, he has released a series of anniversary projects, including cassette releases of the first Marshall Mathers LP (which included a brick from Em’s childhood home) and The Slim Shady LP.
This year, the Detroit legend also appeared on “Kill For You,” a cut from Skylar Grey’s Natural Causes album. The pair previously worked together on Dr. Dre’s “I Need a Doctor” in 2011. She told DX last month how Em has now become a mentor to her as she experiments with rapping.
“The first time I wrote a rap was actually a song called ‘Lemonade.’ The rap version of the song isn’t coming out but the early version of it was my first real attempt at rap and of course I didn’t know if it was any good,” she said. “I sent [the verse] to the one person I knew [I could] get great advice from – I sent it to Eminem, – and I was like ‘Tell me if I should ever rap again.’ And he actually called me and said that I should keep going and keep trying cause he didn’t hate it. So he kinda gave me a little confidence and a little boost to keep trying and keep going for it.”
i hate that eminem just does pun raps now, and rhymes for the sake of it. “Chuck Norris with a thesaurus.” What? Shut the fuck up. Look at this, I can be a rapper too. “I’m a royal lawyer with a broiler,” give me a million dollars.
Chuck Norris with a thesaurus is just him saying he kicks ass with words.
The Bruce Lee of loose leaf. Goat. The monster
A thesaurus is what someone who sucks with words uses. It’s a shit concept, he literally just did it because they rhyme. “Summa lumma sooma yoomin” Rap God bullshit.
He’s trying to display that he has a vast arsenal of words while being a fighter. Your rhyme didn’t even rhyme well.
bet you the type of clown who listen to desiigner and the mumblers. Appreciate bars and lyricism if you think you like hip hop
rekkington sorry I mean ((((put sum respeck on my name)))) take this L your rhymes suck . Stick to be an online weirdo
You must remember that Eminem’s manager is of certain (((tribe))) you know just like (((Jimmy Iovine))). And no, Trump is really not an option, because he has promised AIPAC that he will support Israel in it’s proxy war using US/Nato forces for their impearlism in the middle-east in order to create a “Greater Israel”.
Watch how many rappers release “Campaign Speech Freestyle”
Of course

If you don’t know thesaurus…. then you’re too young and probably Drake Fan… this is drakedx.com
i’m like Whaaaaaaaaaaat?! lol thank jebus, cause of this guy, i mean this is what we need now more than ever
I’m just praying for no Drake/Lil Wayne feature and that the one for sure pop song that will carry the album and is radio friendly actually be something I can stand to listen to.
“will actually” excuse me
Sounds like this guy Eminem is a liberal cuck.
Sounds like a you’re a conservative twat.
Skylar Grey has a new album? Damn, how did I miss that? One of the best decisions Eminem ever made is to sign her to Shady Records.
this article is about eminem dropping a freestyle and confirming a coming soon album and all you can write is “skylar grey has new album?” LOL LOL… who are you?
he got bars and rhymes and all that but who listen to shit like that in the Car or at home? From a musically perspective its garbage as all of that mumble Bullshit. They have dope Beats but not Lyrics and he has Bars for month but Ear Cancer Beats. We dont need dope Beats or Dope Lyrics, we need a combination of both, We need good quality Music
Just to through this out there, it was a freestyle, not a song.
At the end of the day these so called “freestyles” are all written lyrics, recorded and mixed so its a Song no matter how you wanna call it
at the end of the day, “writtens” can be considered freestyles too. freestyling isn’t only improvising or going off the dome. it isn’t a standard song with a standard song format. it isn’t even structured as an actual song, so it don’t make sense to call it a song just because its “recorded”
made the mistake of replying to pot. this is for you sickguy: at the end of the day, “writtens” can be considered freestyles too. freestyling isn’t only improvising or going off the dome. it isn’t a standard song with a standard song format. it isn’t even structured as an actual song, so it don’t make sense to call it a song just because its “recorded”
this is ill, anyone hatin doesn’t know real lyricism
I wouldn’t expect someone from Detroit to have a good grasp on politics but damn he can rap. How’s voting democrat for 50+ years worked for the D?
How’s about George Bush he was president from “January 20, 1989 – January 20, 1993″ or his son George W Bush he was president for even longer and during an economic boom time ” January 20, 2001 – January 20, 2009″ what did they do for Em’s hometown
bruh, thats a red herring. pot is talking about the democrats that run the d (mayor, cheif of police, congressman, senator etc.), which is like most black cities in america, run by democrats because blacks vote democrat 90% at every major election. the hell does the bushes got to do with whats going on in detroit then and now? see, this is what mofos like you do. person is talking about problem a, and instead of addressing problem a, you go right to bringing up problem b (the republican former presidents of the us) as if that in anyway refutes or addresses problem a. smh
I’ll give you an example you current event illiterate, Michigan elected a REPUBLICAN by the name of Rick Snyder, and you wanna know what he did? Changed the water supply for Flint Township so he could save money WHICH WASN’T NEEDED BTW after giving tax breaks to the richer families. WHICH ended up poisoning a whole fucking city. AND ON TOP OF THAT he hasn’t commented of done anything about it. So do yourself a favor, hold this Super L and get the fuck out you neoconservative ass clown.
Nobody wants to hear this shit, then he has the nerves to bring up Trayvon, I didn’t hear anything from you when this shit was happening.
Nas and Krayzie Bone is better period.
Kray maybe, nas may not have enough versatility to his flow tho to keep up.
Rapping fast and using multiple syllables doesn’t mean his lyrics are good. Nas is a poet with substance, Eminem doesn’t rap about anything. Nas has used various flows and done various styles of music over the course of his career, Eminem only raps about goofy random shit and complains about his family. White boy hiphop fans always pick flows over lyrics… That’s why no one takes your opinions seriously.
Once again he disses people that can’t defend them self rap wise, diss a krit, lamar, gibbs, nipsey hussle, bun b, nas. This guy is
a pussy, stop dissing pop stars and diss a legit rapper. By the way this shit was wack to repetitive.
He dissed anyone it would be over. F outta hear.
Yea but he a bitch tho, prob scared of his own shawdow.
Kendrick would bury that white boy
No possible way! Not a huge fan of Em or Kendrick but K. Dot wants no part of Slim Shady at all Bruh!
Ask all the other rappers he’s massacred on their own songs.. Jay, Nicki, Wayne, Drake…the list goes on
Your a Em fan stop fronting, That’s your opinion I don’t think he murdered none of those artist on their tracks. Em has been
average since 2008. Kendrick is the best rapper now, Em has never been the best rapper at any point in his career. The best rappers since 2000 is Jay Z, Dmx, Nas, Wayne, Kendrick.
When the last time Eminem was relevant? The Eminem Show / 8 mile era. And that was close to 15 years ago. Nuff said about dude it’s been downhill ever since those times smh
When was the last time you left your mom’s basement and spent some time doing normal things . You know hooking up with a female going for a beer with friends . You’re always on this site posting bitter and bitchy comments about some celebrity you’ll never meet in real life . Sad sack
How many times this guy mention dick in this song, this is borderline suspect I always suspected his was fruity.
This is a SWAY in the Morning freestyle released with a random beat behind it.
God damn!
Top 5 Flows
Krayzie Bone
Freddie Gibbs
Em
Nas
Big Krit
Rakim bruh
misogynistic and massage on this d!ck…god damn!!!! rewound just to listen to that!
That shit was corny asf
Not excited about his album expectation arent high especially after the last 4 albums
Well I wouldn’t say 4 albums.. MMP2 was actually dissappointing but Recovery was fire!
Entertaining and annoying. He said bout Stacey Dash and Casey Anthony in a backseat throwing StayFree pads at him… he is a silly only child thinking and acting muhafucka. Thank you Marshall. You can get it in the can… haHa.
I thought I was about to hear something dope this wasn’t good at all.
lmao look at all the butthurt 30+ white boys angry because his mocking/dissing your hero Trump . If he was dissing Hilary you would all be talking about how he’s the best ever, cant wait for his new album , yada,yada yada.. You guy’s are so obvious its so fucking amusing
trump, the hero we don’t deserve.
the media’s the most powerful entity on earth. they have the power to make the innocent guilty and to make the guilty innocent, and thats power. because they control the minds of the masses – Malcom X
O so when it suits you the medias evil i.e when it doesn’t suit/fit your narrative . But when the media is socially engineering you i.e all blacks are evil and blacks are the reason your life sucks it’s all good !!
who the fuck is on here that’s a 30+ white trump supporter? lol every post has a comment about “looking at all the white butthurt people” on every social site these days lol
I can’t listen to the shit any longer. I had to turn it off after the first 2 minutes…Straight trash. Stuffing as many syllables you can into a bar doesn’t make the song good, especially when you don’t have any substance in the lyrics. Eminem’s biggest problem is he has nothing to rap about it. After the angst and acting goofy on the two “LP’s”, he had nothing left to say anymore, and just started making different versions of the same shit. This dude needs to just stop raping for good, just like Jay-Z, LL Cool J, DMX, 50 Cent, and all those other dudes who have become parodies of themselves. lol You either retire a dope rapper, or live to see yourself become washed up, middle aged, and corny. I’m not impressed
Buy my new song ..You’ll love it …..Mumble..Mumble…Mumble
WTF is this em? Good thing he got a strong fan base cause this whatever it is . Is pretty trashy. Sounds like he just playing word match. Only ur fans wanna hear this. And its 7 mins long, Why? Shrugs well hear you go em Stans.
I listen to this like a hundred times…..Fire
I am going to immigrate to New Zealand
A for effort..but em make a hot 16, brobro…this is trash
Looks like Em has been watching URL and Smack. I’m okay with it. Back to roots. Wonder what type of album we gon get. 2nd half better than 1st.
And Kendrick is the G.O.A.T. ???? Yeah right.
5:04 to 6:04 woooah not sure I’ve heard anything like that. Crazy. Trying to process this lol. Em was already had his own genre of rap. This like nothing else too. Smh
Let’s just hope he political on this album. Mosh shit. Coz cant think of anything else he will rap about. His usual subject matter isnt there anymore
Its got lyrics. But they aint really bout anything. Im glad he can still go in but the beat if thats what you can call it is wack.
“Piper Champans might just have to picket me/Like a Scab”
Man it’s crazy that after all this time Em still thinks on this level. Insane wordplay throughout but the line above jumped out for the crazy multilayered metaphor and secondly for the fact this shit had me hitting rewind. Em remains a master and true technician of the craft.
Tired hearing about a white man rapping about raping women, and dissing women. Eminem is very lame and has always been. Huge Gimmick rapper that white boys follow and that companies put a lot of money into. If Eminem was black with the same lyrics he would have never if blew prob. Similar to drake their are protected by the machine.
Yes because it’s not like DMX blew up or anything. Have a word with yourself.
Lol Em and Dmx are completely different Em is a cartoon gimmick rapper X is a street reality rapper, compare their first singles. My name is to get at me dog. Can’t compare Em to X at all
Em’s first single was “just don’t give a fck” go kill yourself. and both of them singles were OFF the fckin CHAIN… GRRRRRRRRR
Nobody ever heard that shit, the first time people ever heard of him was my name is, and it don’t matter him and X are completely different.
Bad point.Have you ever listened to too short? All the way up to the new rick Ross song. Smh.
Method man, AZ, Nas, Krayzie Bone, Redman, Krit, Kendrick, Jay Rock, J. Cole is better than Em
Ignorant
How so bc his favorites are not yours?? I actually think with the exception of Jay Rock all of those rappers are better too.
Actually Redman has Eminem in his Top 5 and redman actually said a lot of his black friends(racists) are mad at him for having him in top 5 because Eminem is white. Ya’ll racist black turds.
Rhyming words together doesn’t make it dope this was off and not good.
Whack. No rythym wack flow not catchy etc. Theres a reason why rap has evolved and why drake is the new rap god. He has good melody good flow and good beats. No body gives a shit about lyrics besides these wack ass stuck in the 90s loser hipsters that choose not to evolve with the times. Get with the times you hasbins.
Son…Drake can’t even handle real lyricist who come after him. That monotone voice ass dude is no where in Em’s atmosphere
hipsters? Thats’ actually you skinny jean saggin homo’s. Ya;ll the ones wearing “skirts” trying to be “hip” or whatever. Gay
Damn. This the kinda shxt that I don’t even necessarily like but I fckin love. I listened to it 8 times in a row and will never listen to it again. Nothing that keeps you coming back besides BARS. Eminem is easily top 3 ever… no one has approached BARS like this… he would slay any fckin battle rapper nowadays.
This wasn’t a song . . . so, anyone judging it as such is going to be disappointed; this was an exercise in lyricism. I’ll wait until he releases the first single off the album before I pass judgment; I do like the aggression in this ‘freestyle,’ and I hope he brings that same aggression on the album. I don’t care . . . hip hop is always better when Eminem is releasing music, and anyone who disagrees needs to go into their mother’s basement and listen to some desiigner and lil yachty or whatever their calling themselves nowadays
What bother me is you guys state opinions like their facts. Hip hop is better when Em is releasing music that’s your opinion, Most real hiphop heads don’t even rock with Eminem. Usually just white boys, black men that wanna be white. In college I knew a lot white boys that listen to Em, and would say he’s the greatest rapper of all time, but they didn’t even know who Z-ro, bun b, MC Ren, CNN, Rakim ,This is the case with a lot of Em fans. Em is way overrated IMO that’s not a fact tho, his subject matter is always childish and immature.
Makaveli you are a racist black turd, nuff said. The only people hating on Eminem’s skills are black racists, please keep talking and let us know what you really think. How are you going to compare Eminem to Z-Ro and bun b wack wass? MC Ren? Rakim hasnt released an album in over 35 years JUST WTF ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? Black Racist BS its 2016 and you mfs are being called out on it.
You missed the point, most Em fans only listen to Em, not racist at all. But what I’m saying is from my experience every Em fan I have came across and discuss hip hop with are not knowledgeable about hiphop they only listen to Em and maybe like Kayne, I kept bringing up other artist cassidy, fab, redman, majority of them had no clue who have these other rappers were. By the way Bun B is way more respected in the Rap hip hop community then Em this is another example of a Em fan not understanding. Rappers would go at Em way before they would go at Bun B.
Brooo everyone that watched, knows TRUMP took tonight’s debate hands down he went in on that bootyhole
“Put words together, just to match. I say what I feel, y’all adjust to that.”-Jay-z
Shit Sucks.
Lil kids… this is called LYRICISM. It’s not a party song, it’s not a song of top 40, it’s artsy, underground LYRICSM.
That being said… if you don’t like lyrics, you ain’t gonna like it. You say you can do better… okay. Match Em in the lyricism category and see if you can come close. You don’t think he is good. Cool… your opinion. When he wants to make SONGS… he’ll put them on an album for you to consume. You say he has no content? You’re dense as fuck. It’s about expression through metaphors. Again… you try to express yourself through metaphors & rhyme scheme. In Hip-Hop everybody is able to bring their own style to the table.
It’s NOT little kids music. It’s Detroit Undergound Hip-hop. No beat…. just a mike & your skills. The game has changed.. yes of course. But when you come from the era, that is what you know to be true. Really most of yall internet quacks probably wouldn’t be able to spit a verse would a gun to your head. Am I on his dick? Nahh… Im not gay, dude. I’m speaking as a fan of lyricism. Eminem is one of the best.
Don’t get mad because yall are too slow to pick it up. Read a thesaurus & go back to the pen & pad, dummies.
Dayummm did anyone else catch the warning shot he gave 50? A pretty long one..ohhh snap
Lol dumb fuck.
What shot he gave to 50 i aint heard
I’m not saying ALL black people but A LOT of black people are mad at the fact the greatest MC to ever spit on the mic is a white person. Eminem is Top 3 all day. He’s the original Rap God.
You live in a trailer and you do not know any black people stop talking out your ass troll . Em, Nas, Pac and Big are the best to have ever touched the mike .Now step away from the keyboard Lil Yachty fan
Slim Shady LP 2?
If you put Eminem in Bone thugs he would be the 3rd best rapper in the group, if you put him in Wu tang he would be like 6th best, If you put him in Outkast he would be 3rd. I understand their are a lot of Em fans but you guys are some what delusional. Nobody is hating on him because he’s white. But because he has gotten special treatment by Record labels and corporations since he’s came out just like Drake. Also you got guys feel like Em help crush murder Inc, but everyone knows Em team, being Ivoine, Interscope got ties
to them laws, they couldn’t go to war with the inc they maybe would have won it from a mainstream perception but they would have
been physically rough up their team was too soft compared to the Inc.
You are on crack. Seriously. Not one of those stuttering midgets in BONE can rap. He would skull Fuck all of them. Easily.
Who has Eminem battled you guys that say he’s the greatest he has never had a legit battle, he disses pop stars and reality stars. LL battle cool moe, Ice T, Cannibus and won, Jay and Nas had a epic battle and Nas won. Jadakiss battle beans was a draw or toss up. Game battle G unit and game won, Bone thugs battle 5 groups at one time and won. Tupac nearly destroyed a whole Coast by himself
Benzino and Ja Rule but got their asses handed to them by Eminem
The above plus Murda Ink and The Source magazine got ripped apart by him
Mariah Carey dissed him and she bascially died
Nick Cannon got his ass thrown out the window
Cannibus career spiraled down when he tried to sqaure up on the verse and lost
So bro dont take an L, do your’re research
44 years old and still outraps anyone who has seen a mic in their life.
This song is terrible you do know that right???
It’s not a song slow minded idiot it’s a freestyle . Some of you people must have been dropped on your heads as babies .lol
Whatever it is it’s not good
This man talks a lot of sense . Salute
I’m a 6 ft 4 dark skinned black male and I just want to say Eminem is the GOAT end of discussion
Stop lyimg your a 5’8 frat boy, thats mad your mom and dad bought you a charger bc you wanted a benz.
I love the comments section. Black ppl be hatin. White ppl are fanboys. Your opinion is wrong your not old enough to remember rakim. Young ppl don’t know music. Everyone is wrong and I’m right haha.
Also it’s not a song so stop judging it as one. Now let’s all get off here plug in the headphones and listen to what ever we like 🙂
It’s all relative
Damnnnnnn he still got it . This is why his one of the legends of da game
Chuck Norris with a thesaurus
