Det är dags för tredje delen av Sways “Kamikaze”-intervju med Eminem. Denna gång om BET-cyphern, hans hat mot Donald Trump och dissen till Tyler, the Creator. Det är på albumspåret “Fall” som Eminem slänger ur sig en rad om Tyler som är klart homofobisk, något han ångrar då han var arg när han skrev låten.
“I was angry when I said that shit about Tyler. The fact of like every time I saw this kid, he was always cool to you. I loved his energy. He was a funny dude and he’s super charismatic and shit. But I’m sitting back like, ‘Man at what point do I have to say something to defend myself?
“The word I called him on that song was one of things that I felt like, ‘This might be too far.’ In my quest to hurt him, I realize I was hurting a lot of other people by saying it. At the time, I was so mad it was like whatever. It was one of the things that I kept going back to and saying, ‘I don’t feel right with this.’”
Eminem pratar också om Donald Trump, en person han inte gjort någon hemlighet av att han hatar. På “The Ringer” säger han en rad om att Secret Service till och med konfronterat rapparen på grund av hans texter, och att det är en sann historia.
“They came to my studio.They was just basically asking me questions about my lyrics to see what the intent was behind them, and if I was making an actual threat or just expressing myself.”
Han förklara också vad som fick honom att göra BET-cyphern.
“I’m trying to say this also to my fanbase who might have voted for him. A lot of people in my fanbase probably did. At the time I did the cypher, I realized after it was all said and done, maybe I should have just attacked him. This is backfiring on me. I don’t care. I don’t give a fuck if that’s what happened and hurt my sales. I don’t care about that. I care about the message I’m trying to convey.
“I was just watching it every single day. I watch a lot of news. The thing that pissed me off the most and when I started going crazy with the pen was the Kaepernick thing and when that shit happened and how he kept changing the narrative. You fuckin’ … ugh. I don’t want to get into the whole Trump thing anymore.
I nästa del ska Eminem prata om Drake.
